"Lady Tsunade, Oura and Rikuto's conditions are relatively stable. I plan to wait until the medical room is fully equipped before performing the surgery."
Shizune is a very decisive person. Tsunade nodded and said, "You've done this kind of surgery a lot, so it'll be fine. You can decide for yourself."
Tsunade discussed some details with Shizune as they walked out of the clan compound.
At that moment, Kawasaki leaned against the door frame.
Seeing Tsunade and Jiraiya approach, he asked Tsunade, "Lady Tsunade, would you like to stay for dinner tonight?"
Tsunade paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Keep it. I want to eat stewed cabbage."
Kawasaki laughed heartily: "Alright, don't worry, Lady Tsunade."
"Lord Jiraiya, I have many matters to attend to at the clan, so I won't entertain you any longer. Please come again when you have time."
Kawasaki waved casually and turned to leave.
Jiraiya had witnessed Kawasaki's style a few years earlier, so he wasn't surprised.
However, judging from the aura emanating from Kawasaki, this guy has indeed become much stronger.
.....
Jiraiya and Tsunade left the Uchiha territory. As Tsunade walked, she discovered that there were eyes everywhere in the Uchiha territory.
Whether it was the ninja crows, ninja cats, or surveillance equipment, they protected the Uchiha clan almost impenetrably.
As Tsunade marveled at the tremendous changes in the Uchiha clan, Jiraiya recounted these changes to her over the years.
Although both of them could be considered wanderers.
However, being addicted to gambling and drinking, one's way of obtaining information is quite passive; in fact, Tsunade knows less than Shizune.
Jiraiya was different; he traveled the world and was particularly attentive to gathering intelligence.
Moreover, he is a true "Guardian of Konoha," and he never misses any information related to Konoha.
.....
Through his conversation with Jiraiya.
Tsunade then understood the reason for the changes in the Uchiha clan over the years.
All of this was triggered by the sudden emergence of Kawasaki.
Kawasaki's various decisions were aimed at preventing the Uchiha from getting entangled with the power structure of Konoha.
Instead, they focus on their own development.
While other ninja clans also have their own businesses, none have built their businesses to such a scale as the Uchiha.
This was the first time Tsunade had ever seen it.
Jiraiya also revealed that the Uchiha clan even made a deal with Orochimaru to make their business in the Land of Rice Fields so successful.
Tsunade then realized what the cooperation model between the Uchiha clan and Orochimaru was...
The Uchiha clan provides the secret recipe for the restaurant, while Orochimaru provides confidential assassins. The two parties jointly promote the restaurant and ultimately share the profits.
Tsunade then noticed that Kawasaki's image had suddenly become blurry.
Would Kawasaki, who's always so unserious, really have such a mind?
The two of them also passed by the fragrant Uchiha snack street in the novel group 89.
Looking at the bustling crowd, Tsunade finally understood why the Uchiha clan could live well even without doing missions.
Doing business on this street, even an ordinary person can earn more than a ninja, without taking any risks.
The Uchiha territory was not far from Konoha Village, and the two were agile, so they quickly returned to Konoha Village.
The two headed straight for the Hokage Building, and Jiraiya instinctively wanted to enter through the window.
He saw Tsunade walk straight towards the main entrance and glare at him.
He had no choice but to awkwardly jump down and follow behind Tsunade.
.....
In the Hokage's office.
The Third Hokage was already waiting for Tsunade in his office.
Unexpectedly, after many years, Tsunade's first return was to the Uchiha clan, leaving the Third Hokage with mixed feelings.
"Oh!"
The door was flung open.
Tsunade walked briskly ahead, with Jiraiya following behind, closing the door behind her.
"Old man, I've come to ask you something."
Tsunade was always straightforward; without even exchanging pleasantries, she went straight to the point.
Seeing that Tsunade showed no interest in reminiscing, the Third Hokage could only ask, "What do you want to ask?"
"In that experiment back then, was there a baby who survived? Was his name Tianzang?"
The Third Hokage nodded helplessly: "Yes, I'm in the Anbu now."
There's no denying that this was clearly something Kawasaki Uchiha told Tsunade.
Kawasaki directly intervened in that matter back then and even helped Tenzo.
Tsunade snorted and slammed her hand on the table.
"boom!"
The entire table split in two.
"Why did you use Grandpa's body for experiments without my permission?!"
At this point, the third generation could only shirk responsibility:
"I was unaware of this matter until I learned of it and sent people to capture Orochimaru."
"Then why don't you hold Danzo accountable?"
Tsunade asked, her voice tinged with dissatisfaction.
The third generation sighed:
"Back then, when Orochimaru defected, we all thought it was Orochimaru's doing."
“You weren’t in the village at the time, so I sent Jiraiya to investigate this matter.”
"Orochimaru has not been caught yet, and things have been delayed as a result."
Tsunade crossed her arms: "What are you planning to do about the Uchiha incident? Kawasaki came to me specifically to ask me to testify for the Uchiha."
"I've already written a personal letter back, why hasn't the village cleared things up for the Uchiha yet?"
The third generation took a puff of his pipe: "So much time has passed, there are many things that need to be reinvestigated, and that will take time..."
"The investigation is now complete, and a statement regarding the Nine-Tailed Night will be released soon."
Tsunade rolled her eyes; the Uchiha clan's affairs had been announced to the entire ninja world.
Your Konoha has only just finished its investigation; you probably have no choice but to make it public now.
"Was only one test subject alive in the experiment back then?"
The Third Generation frowned: "It seems that only Tenzo survived."
Tsunade stared into the Third Hokage's eyes:
"Then why can Obito and his accomplices also use Wood Release?"
The Third Hokage fell silent. He had previously visited Danzo, and judging from Danzo's words and actions, Danzo was definitely hiding something. (1)
"Old man, arrest Danzo immediately! We must find out how many secrets he's hiding!"
Tsunade said sternly.
The Third Hokage hesitated, saying, "It's not appropriate to arrest Danzo suddenly now." (1)
Tsunade stared intently at the Third Hokage, remaining silent for a long time.
Tsunade was extremely disappointed. How could her teacher have become like this?
When did this indecisive and hesitant decision-making style begin? (1)
Or perhaps he knew about what happened in the past, but simply didn't stop it?
Tsunade suddenly seemed a little listless, turned around, opened the door, and walked out: "I'm going home for dinner." (5)
Before the Third Hokage could finish speaking, he was cut off: "Tsunade, where are you going?" (5)
Tsunade did not answer him, but turned and went downstairs down the corridor.
Where does Tsunade live?
Linglong
The Third Hokage still didn't know why Tsunade went to the Uchiha clan.
Jiraiya gave a wry smile:
"Tsunade has been invited by Kawasaki to become a medical consultant for the Uchiha clan."
"What!?"
The third generation almost ripped his beard off.
Orochimaru being affected by Kotoamatsukami is one thing, but Tsunade was also persuaded by the Uchiha clan.
"Grandpa, I think we really need to investigate Danzo thoroughly."
The Third Hokage frowned:
"First, send out the arrangements for the Nine-Tails Night Uchiha. Let me think about Danzo's matter."
Kawasaki had retrieved Tsunade's handwritten letter, and the Third Hokage thought that was the end of it, but he didn't expect that even Tsunade herself would be brought back.
The Third Hokage had every reason to suspect that Jiraiya might be dragged into Kawasaki's clutches next.
In fact, the Third Hokage had already considered giving up on Danzo, but was still making some preparations.
