Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 39 False Information

The entire squad of Iwa ninja has been killed; now it's time to clean up the battlefield.

Two ANBU members and Kushina went to seal the corpse of the Iwa ninja, while Chiga looked at the crows scattered all over the ground and sighed.

In just a short time, dozens of crows died.

At this moment, Kushina had already sealed Tsukasa's corpse into the scroll. She walked to Chiga's side and said, "Alright, don't worry too much. Crows grow very quickly. As long as you take good care of them, another batch will grow soon."

Chiga nodded, agreeing with Kushina's statement.

With the battlefield cleaned up, Chiga and Kushina had completed this C-rank mission.

Upon returning to the village, the village chief signed the mission sheet to indicate that the mission was complete, and the four prepared to set off back.

Kushina's smile never disappeared throughout the journey.

The four of them rushed to Konoha overnight. Because the distance was not far, two of them arrived at the main gate of Konoha at the crack of dawn.

Having arrived here, Heihachi and Kazuma's mission to protect Kushina was complete, and they prepared to leave. Kazuma said:

"Kushina, now that we're here, we should go report to the Anbu."

Kushina nodded, glancing at Ichima who was still there, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back, and said irritably, "I know, I'll embellish last night's battle. I'll say that you two had to show up to help because I was in danger."

Kazuma scratched his head and laughed awkwardly, "Haha, then I'll have to trouble you!"

After saying that, Heihachi disappeared from Kushina's sight.

After returning to Konoha Village, Kushina and Chiga were completely relaxed and even had the mood to eat breakfast.

After finishing his meal, he leisurely strolled to the Hokage's office.

"Third-generation old man, I, Kushina, have returned!"

Bang!

The familiar sound of the door opening startled Hiruzen Sarutobi, who looked up at Kushina in surprise.

He knew Kushina well; it would be strange if she didn't go out and have a few days of wild fun since she had rarely left the village.

Kushina walked straight in, skillfully snatched the pipe from Hiruzen Sarutobi's hand, and loudly announced, "Third Hokage, we're here to report on our mission!"

Coming to his senses, Hiruzen Sarutobi asked in confusion, "You're back so soon? Did something happen?"

Hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi ask this question, Kushina raised an eyebrow. This old man really knew her well. If it weren't for the sudden incident with Iwagakure, she was really planning to take Chika out for a few days before coming back.

"Ahem, old man of three generations, take a look at this first!"

Kushina threw the scroll in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"This is?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi first looked at Kushina with a puzzled expression before taking the scroll and opening it to read.

But after just one glance, his expression changed drastically, and he said seriously to Kushina, "Where did you get this scroll?"

"It was all luck, really. The C-rank mission you gave me was triggered by a summoning beast from Iwagakure. After Chika and I found out the cause..."

Kushina recounted the events of the day, embellishing her story by lying about the Anbu incident and exaggerating her and Chiga's contributions.

After listening to Kushina's account, Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent for a long time before finally speaking with a hint of anger: "You! Three months of confinement. Chika Uchiha, one month of confinement."

When Kushina heard Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, her previously radiant and praise-seeking face immediately darkened, and the atmosphere in the Hokage's office suddenly froze.

She forcibly suppressed her anger and said in a deep voice, "Lord Hokage, have you misspoke?"

"Kushina, you need to understand that you're a member of the sealing team. Combat isn't your strong suit at all. The best course of action against this group of Iwa ninjas would have been to retreat, not to fight them without any chance of victory!"

Facing Kushina, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot, Hiruzen Sarutobi, unusually, did not speak to her in a kind and gentle manner as usual.

"The sealing team shouldn't receive special treatment. I'm also a Konoha ninja, and besides, you even sent two ANBU to protect me. That's precisely why I had the confidence to go and stop the Iwa ninja."

"Hmph, do you really think the Anbu will obey your orders? Without my instructions, those two Anbu won't listen to a Konoha Jonin! And this problem arose precisely because I've been too lenient with you."

Upon hearing this, Kushina's eyes widened instantly, staring at Hiruzen Sarutobi in disbelief.

This statement was a huge shock to her. She thought she had control over the people monitoring her, and that everything she did was only shown to the Konoha leadership with her consent.

But Hiruzen Sarutobi slapped her hard across the face, and all her every move was under Hiruzen Sarutobi's surveillance.

Her face was ashen, and she said in a questioning tone, "Didn't they only listen to me because I beat them up and then bribed them?"

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi abruptly stood up, exuding the aura of a superior, and said in a deep voice, word by word, "The Konoha Anbu does not accept any threats or bribes!"

This imposing aura caused even the powerful Kushina to take a step back, staring blankly at Hiruzen Sarutobi. Was this still the same kind and gentle old man who had always been so kind to her?

really

Old ginger is spicier!

Standing behind Kushina, Chiga thought to himself, "Shinobu is indeed Shinobu. Compared to playing mind games, Kushina is still several levels below!"

The ANBU members monitoring Kushina appeared to have been bribed by her, but in reality, it was only to make Kushina believe it herself.

At the same time, it became clear that since Hiruzen Sarutobi had already made his point, today's matter was far more complicated than it appeared on the surface, and Kushina might have done something wrong with good intentions.

"In short, obey orders!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Kushina, who was still questioning her existence, and said something stiffly. Then he ignored Kushina and started dealing with his usual tasks.

"No, you have to give me a reasonable explanation today, or I won't leave here!"

Kushina has realized that she may have done something wrong, but she will not give up until she understands the cause and the whole story.

Hiruzen Sarutobi understood Kushina's personality and immediately said, "Alright! You want to know the reason, right? I'll tell you today!"

He pointed to the scroll on the table: "Do you really think this scroll contains a defensive deployment map of our ninjas on the border of the Land of Grass?"

Kushina and Chiga were both taken aback, then said simultaneously, "Could it be..."

Before the two could finish speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi interrupted, "That's right, this is fake information! And it's a diagram I drew myself!"
