Tsunade smiled coldly and said slowly, "Such actions by rogue ninjas must be pursued with all our might. The position of Daimyo cannot remain vacant for even a day. Let's arrange the process for the new Daimyo as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Nara Shikaku hesitated for a moment and subconsciously asked, "Hokage-sama, shall we interfere in this matter?"
In response, Tsunade said in a deep voice, "There are rogue ninjas assassinating daimyo. The Fire Capital is in chaos right now. Not only is the daimyo in trouble, but some nobles have also been brutally murdered. This is the latest news from the Anbu. I have decided to arrange for Anbu members to protect the new daimyo and ensure that he can be put in place smoothly. So do you have any objections?"
Nara Shikaku felt a pang of panic, suddenly realizing that some things were better left unsaid.
He immediately replied, "What the Hokage says is right, that's how it should be."
Opinion?
How could I dare to have one!
"Alright, go back and continue with your other matters. As for the Daimyo's affairs, let the Anbu handle them. The Security Department will also take care of yesterday's Konoha riot, so you don't need to worry about any unforeseen events. As long as you're not involved, there won't be any problems. Moreover, the Hyuga clan leader has already dealt with his own clan's affairs, and all those involved have been arrested. Further actions will be taken based on the progress of the case."
Seeing this, Tsunade gestured for Nara Shikaku to leave, and then told him the outcome of yesterday's incident. She said that everything that needed to be dealt with had been dealt with, and that the ninja clans that were not involved did not need to worry. She said she would not escalate the matter, so everyone could rest assured.
"That's what Hokage-sama said."
Nara Shikaku had no objection and nodded decisively.
……
After Nara Shikaku left, Orochimaru appeared in the office.
He came because of funding; the research department's funding hasn't arrived yet, so he came to inquire, worried that the promised things haven't been fulfilled.
"Tsunade, here is the financial statement I requested. Please take a look."
Tsunade took it, glanced at it, and put it down. Then she looked up at Orochimaru and asked, "Jiraiya came to see you before he left the village, right?"
"That's right, so is there a problem with that?" Orochimaru didn't think there was a problem, so he asked in return.
In response, Tsunade continued, "He not only came to you, but also to Minato Namikaze. Didn't he say anything to you? Didn't he complain about the situation in the village?"
Orochimaru's eyes flickered, and after a moment of silence, he replied, "The matter is settled, and there's no point in complaining. Besides, he knows there's nothing he can do. The teacher has already been dealt with by you and Uchiha Hakumo, so what can he say?"
"Yes, I can't say anything, but... by the way, do you still remember Hiruko?" Tsunade crossed her arms, staring at Orochimaru, and said quietly.
"he?"
Orochimaru was stunned, and after a moment he asked, "What's wrong?"
"The daimyo is dead. He did it," Tsunade replied.
"What's the motive? Revenge? But it can't be that serious..." Orochimaru said subconsciously, but then stopped as if he realized something.
"Who can say for sure? People are just prone to extremes when it comes to some things," Tsunade shrugged and said calmly.
"Now that it's been determined, is it the Anbu who will handle it?" Orochimaru understood, but didn't care about the matter, and asked casually.
"Yes, Esdeath will take care of it. Your funds will arrive soon. The new daimyo will provide special funds. After all, this matter is too serious, and we must deal with it decisively. A portion of these funds will be given to you. I hope you can achieve results..."
Tsunade paused briefly, looked at Orochimaru, and then said, word by word, "This is Uchiha Hakubaki's intention."
"it is good!"
Orochimaru understood and nodded.
A wise man doesn't need to say more; he already understands.
……
It's been a busy day.
As soon as Tsunade entered the room, she asked, "Bai Mu, what are we having for dinner tonight? I need to replenish my energy; I've lost blood... Sigh, I've really had a tough time!"
Bai Mu walked out of the kitchen and saw Tsunade, barefoot on the floor, with her hand on the sliding door of the living room. She had an outstanding figure and was voluptuous and mature.
The taste is extraordinary!
After looking Tsunade up and down, he said meaningfully, "A feast, guaranteed to be plentiful."
Tsunade was used to these looks. Ever since she slept with Bai Mu, she had become quite familiar with them. They had been inseparable every night for the past few days. Since they were so familiar with each other, why should she care about these looks?
She glanced around and caught a sound coming from the kitchen. Her brows furrowed immediately, and she lowered her voice, "Does that Samui cook? Can you trust him?"
"You don't need to question my training methods, there's no need to question them," Bai Mu said with a shrug.
So confident?
Tsunade was quite surprised.
But then, thinking of Bai Mu's methods, she fell silent. He was indeed trustworthy, and no woman could resist him; she herself was the best example.
With that in mind, Tsunade walked into the living room, took off her coat, revealing a sleeveless undershirt, and even took off her capri pants, putting on loose shorts instead.
"It's really uncomfortable not having any alcohol to drink. It's really unpleasant not being able to drink alcohol..." Tsunade muttered, because her craving for alcohol was acting up.
"Drink less; it'll be good for you."
Tsunade wasn't the only one inside; Esdeath had been sitting there for a while. She knew all about Tsunade's grumbling and casually remarked.
"You do not understand."
Tsunade muttered something.
But then she realized something was wrong, her brows furrowed slightly, her gaze fell on Esdeath, and a look of surprise appeared on her face as she asked, "Oh dear, why are you back so soon?"
What's going on?
Logically speaking, this is not right.
Tsunade genuinely hadn't expected Esdeath to return even faster than her. It was clearly wrong; you shouldn't be faster than me, this doesn't make sense!
Chapter 124 You have so much confidence in me, I don't know whether I should be happy or not!
"Any questions?"
Esdeath shrugged, appearing nonchalant and casual, and said indifferently, "You're not qualified to order me around!"
Tsunade:"……"
Not qualified!
That was an unpleasant remark.
She simply started acting like a spoiled child, yelling, "I don't care about any of that, the point is you'll be back before me."
"Are you trying to cheat me?"
Esdeath's expression was strange.
Good grief, you're cheating on me, aren't you?
"That's not true, don't talk nonsense. I have a lot of things to do right now. Bai Mu is doing nothing and just hides here having a good time. I, as the Hokage, am really frustrated."
Tsunade is incredibly annoyed right now. Not only is she overwhelmed with work, but she also doesn't have time to gamble or have a drink. Even this one hobby of hers has been taken away...
Ugh, can you believe I'm so angry?
"How am I not doing anything?" Bai Mu asked as he walked in, listening to Tsunade's complaints.
Inaction?
There's no such thing as inaction. You say you're very busy with a lot of things to do, but actually it's Alice who's busy, and there's also Nara Shikaku, right?
Someone has already taken care of it for you, so why are you still busy?
A whole bunch of stuff? That's ridiculous.
Besides, I'm busier than you.
I'm leaving tomorrow.
He's temporarily leaving the Naruto world, and his target... Fairy Tail!
"I don't know what you're thinking, but given the current situation..." Tsunade stammered, unable to explain for the time being.
Bai Mu snorted coldly and said indifferently, "Unless there are special circumstances, you don't need to do anything. You're just feeling bored because you can't drink or gamble?"
Esdeath chimed in, "Yeah, gambling is harmful to both yourself and others. The key is that you can't even win. What's the point of gambling? You can't really lose Konoha, can you?"
"roll."
Tsunade glared at Esdeath, her eyes filled with displeasure.
Can't you speak properly? Losing to Konoha? That's utter nonsense.
Esdeath completely ignored Tsunade's words, responding instead with a nonchalant attitude: "It's no use me leaving. Besides, isn't this the Shiramaki family's residence? Why should I leave? Furthermore, you can't manage on your own without me."
Can you do it yourself?
It's not that I look down on you, it's just the truth.
"You don't need to worry about that. Besides, Alice is better than you." But Tsunade couldn't ignore it, especially after being mocked like that, so of course she retaliated.
"Alice? I don't approve."
Esdeath could tolerate everything else, but not this, so she was very unhappy.
"Whether you agree or not is not up to you. If I think it's better than you, then it's better than you." Tsunade frankly stated that it wasn't up to you to decide, but up to her.
Esdeath: “…”
I hate this woman.
Seriously, I hate it, I really hate it.
"Don't make trouble."
Seeing this, Bai Mu said seriously, "Remember my words. You need to be more careful. If there is any sudden change in Yunyin, just suppress it with force."
"What about Obito Uchiha? Isn't that a disadvantage?" Tsunade pursed her lips, then remembered someone and immediately asked.
You said that Madara Uchiha chose an agent for the Eye of the Moon Plan, then Obito Uchiha is undoubtedly a disadvantageous factor, and he is the biggest source of instability.
Given this, how do you think he can prevent it?
After all, he's a madman, isn't he?
You said it yourself!
"With Esdeath and Alice around, you don't need to worry, and you don't need to be afraid of him. Kamui only lasts for five minutes in ethereal form. You can wear him down completely now. With your Wood Release power, why should you be afraid of him?"
Bai Mu completely looked down on Uchiha Obito, and Tsunade had the ability to completely kill him; she could simply wear him down.
