Chapter 69 Hiruzen: Tsunade, I'm so glad you're back! Tsunade: It's too early for you

This little devil!!!

I really want to beat him to death!

"Hey! Uchiha Hiko."

Tsunade was full of anger early in the morning, but she could only hold it in:

"I've thought about it carefully, and I can't agree to your proposal last night.

I will return to the village with you, and I will investigate it myself when we get back.

If it's as serious as you say, I'll help.

I just hope that by then, you Uchiha won’t think I owe you too much money.”

"Oh."

Yan's reaction was very calm because the reward did not make him feel very good.

To him, the reward was more important than the mess between the Uchiha and the village.

This is related to his future success and must be taken seriously.

In comparison, the village and the Uchiha's trivial matters have to be put aside.

What do you mean?

His reaction was so bland, could it be that this kid had changed his mind?

Veins bulged on Tsunade's forehead, and she almost forgot how many times she had the urge to beat Yan up.

Tsunade's wish to vent her anger by beating Yan up was ultimately not fulfilled.

Because Yan knew that this girl was very aggressive and was very angry, so he didn't give her any chance and quickened his pace back to Konoha.

This resulted in Tsunade having to follow with gritted teeth.

"came back."

Looking at Konoha's iconic walls and gates from afar, Yan couldn't help but stretch.

At this moment, he urgently wanted to go back, change into clean clothes, take a hot bath, and have a good meal.

As for reporting to the police department? We'll talk about it tomorrow.

Compared to Yan, Tsunade's inner emotions were very complicated. She finally returned to her home after being away for a long time, but she felt indescribable feelings in her heart.

Even she herself couldn't believe that she would return to Konoha in this way.

Lady Tsunade is back.

At the gate of Konoha, the Anbu ninja hiding in the dark rushed straight to the Hokage's office building.

"Well, let's say goodbye here. If you've made up your mind, you can come to the police department to find me. Just tell me my name."

After returning to the village, Yan Chao and Tsunade gestured for a moment, then waved their hands and left.

As for where Tsunade should go, it has nothing to do with him.

"Hokage-sama, Tsunade-sama has returned to the village."

In the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage stood up excitedly when he heard this.

The Third Hokage was undecided as to whether Tsunade was willing to come back.

What happened back then hurt her too deeply, otherwise Tsunade wouldn't have been running around and hiding from the people in the village all these years.

"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back."

After walking a few steps in the office excitedly, the Third Hokage asked:

"Go inform Tsunade and Jiraiya and have them come see me."

The matter of Daming Prefecture cannot be delayed any longer. If it is delayed any further, daimyōs from various countries will come here.

"Yes."

The ANBU ninja responded respectfully and was about to leave, but suddenly he was stunned and froze in place.

"how?"

The Third Hokage looked at him in confusion. Didn’t I ask you to notify them and ask them to come to the Hokage office building?

"Hokage-sama......."

The ANBU ninja was silent for a few seconds, then lowered his head and answered:

"I did not see Lord Jiraiya."

"So Tsunade came back alone?"

"No, they came back with Captain Uchiha Hiko of the Police Department. They were the only two of them."

As he spoke, the ANBU ninja lowered his head even more.

"........"

I was wondering why you were hesitating. This is how feelings work.

That’s not right, why is it Uchiha Hiko?

Although he has a mission, the person who should accompany Tsunade back to Konoha should be Jiraiya!

Is there a conflict?

Or was there an accident?

Where is the kid named Shizune who was with Tsunade?

No matter what, the most important thing is that Tsunade comes back, and everything else can be put aside.

"You must immediately notify Tsunade and ask her to come to the Hokage's office building."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

The imagined anger did not appear, the Anbu ninja breathed a sigh of relief, left the Hokage office building and went to find Tsunade.

At this time, Tsunade was still hesitating at the entrance of the village. She didn't know whether she should go to the Hokage office building or go back to the Senju clan's territory first.

Although the Senju clan had long been popularized, their ancestral home in Konoha was still there, but most of the valuable things had been sold by her.

Thinking of her crazy gambling addiction over the years, Tsunade slapped her forehead in annoyance.

"Tsunade-sama, Hokage-sama asked you to go to the Hokage's office."

The arrival of the Anbu ninja helped Tsunade solve the problem of difficult choice.

"I know, I'll be there right away."

Since I am so hesitant, I might as well not make a choice and go to the Hokage office building first.

Without the reassurance she gave, the Third Hokage would never be able to feel at ease.

Having made up her mind, Tsunade headed straight for the Hokage's office building.

Without knocking, the office door was already opened. This seemingly rude move was actually something the Third Hokage had been looking forward to for a long time.

The three disciples of the Third Hokage all seemed to act somewhat out of place.

Tsunade opened the door without any hesitation, Jiraiya liked to climb through the windows, and Orochimaru, who was gloomy like a poisonous snake, was the most polite one.

"Old man, you are really old."

Tsunade closed the door casually, took a look at the Third Hokage who was smiling happily, and sighed.

"Tsunade, everyone grows old, and I'm glad I can still see the young you."

"Tsk! Come on, you're already old."

Not to mention the Third Hokage, even the Three Ninjas are already quite old.

Only because of the Yin Seal can Tsunade maintain the appearance of being in her twenties.

It was the same with Uzumaki Mito in the past. It was not until she got old and her health deteriorated day by day that she began to look old.

"I won't say more. I was able to return to Konoha not because of Jiraiya. I don't want to get involved in the Daimyo's affairs. I want to take a break and collect some information. I hope I won't be too disappointed."

Knowing that the Third Hokage would soon mention the matter of the Daimyo's Mansion, Tsunade spoke first to block his mouth.

"Forehead........"

Tsunade was able to return to Konoha not because of Jiraiya’s persuasion?

The Third Hokage couldn't help but be stunned.

In the blink of an eye, Tsunade had already opened the door and left.

In front of the Hokage's office building, Tsunade began to struggle again. Where should she go? Home or...

"Shizune, we......"

He opened his mouth out of habit, but the little follower who had been following him for several years was nowhere to be seen.

Tsunade then realized that she had run back to Konoha with Yan alone, and Shizune should be with Jiraiya.

Sure enough, habit is a terrible thing.

With a self-deprecating smile, Tsunade took a step forward. She did not go to the Senju ancestral home because she did not want to be reminded of the past.
