Chapter 317 Return to the Village
Tsunade certainly would not give up her plan just because of Danzo's excuses. After the latter refused to cooperate, she used the name of Hokage.
"Elder Danzo, the Hokage has the authority over all power in Konoha."
"I am the Hokage."
Never imagined.
It would have been fine if she hadn't said this. As soon as she said this, Danzo, who had originally had a relatively calm expression, suddenly jumped up as if his backstage was stolen!
"Tsunade!"
"Don't talk to me like that!"
"When it comes to seniority and ability, you are not qualified enough!"
"Konoha, not your Tsunade's Konoha!"
"The stability of the village is inseparable from the roots! The responsibility of lurking in the darkness and protecting the village lies on my shoulders, Danzo! The people in the roots cannot be moved just because you want to!"
"If I hadn't disdained to compete with the young, it would be uncertain who would be the Hokage!"
Tsunade was furious.
But still enduring it.
until…
"Tsunade, don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you are Hashirama-sama's granddaughter!"
"My contribution to the village is no less than yours!"
"If you really want to interfere with my Root, don't blame me for being ruthless. If you force me into a corner, even if Konoha is temporarily in turmoil, I will still fight with you!"
Danzo said sarcastically: "Hokage-sama~ha."
"You don't want the current village to have internal disputes again, do you?"
With that said, he walked away.
The scene is still vivid in my mind.
Looking at the preliminary investigation list on the table, Tsunade's breathing became more rapid.
"Bang!" Another punch came down, and a deep crack suddenly appeared on the heavy Hokage's desk.
Shizune, who had just cleaned up the broken cups, looked up at this scene and immediately revealed an expression of despair.
"I'm just calling it maintenance... Never mind, I'll just hammer in a few nails myself later."
Shizune went out to find tools, leaving Tsunade alone in the office.
The rapid breathing gradually calmed down.
Tsunade looked at the table in front of her, and after a while, she brought the roster in front of her again.
Looking at the information above, his face was conflicted, but soon, a look of determination flashed in his eyes.
Dry!
The fight for the power of the Root is not just for her power as Hokage.
The village needs more power.
The bloodlines and young ninjas of the various ninja clans in Konoha cannot keep their mouths shut forever.
If she turns a blind eye to everything, then what is the difference between her, the Hokage, and that withered and smelly old man?
But she needs time.
More strength and help is needed.
While deep in thought, a figure flashed through my mind.
"After my strength improves, I can help you deal with the constraints of the advisory elders."
"I am an ANBU directly under the Hokage, your confidant."
"Hokage-sama, you don't want to be short of people and be restricted everywhere, right?"
"If those old guys make you unhappy, just bear with it and deal with it."
"We'll talk about everything when I get back."
After a while, Shizune, who had returned with a nail and a hammer, heard Tsunade's roar before she even opened the office door.
"Tell that bastard, if he doesn't come back, he will never come back again!!!"
……
Outside Konoha Village.
On a hillside.
The person Tsunade was thinking about was standing opposite a man.
"You came?"
"I am coming."
"when did you come?"
"The night before yesterday."
“…Have you eaten?”
Momochi Zabuza: "..."
"Ahem~" Being looked at by the other party as if he were a moron, Suzumiya Musashi scratched his head to ease the awkward atmosphere.
"That... um... I've accepted the ninjutsu information. Thank you for your hard work."
Momochi Zabuza: "No need to say these polite words, I promise you."
Suzumiya Musashi said: "Oh, that's right."
Momochi Zabuza: "Does the three-year agreement you promised me still count?"
"It counts! Why doesn't it count?" Suzumiya Musashi said, putting away the ninjutsu information in his hand, and said to Bai beside him: "Let's go, you are free."
Momochi Zabuza breathed a sigh of relief.
Bai's expression was a bit complicated. He had almost forgotten the agreement made three years ago. Momochi Zabuza finally came to pick him up. He didn't know whether he was more happy or more nostalgic for his friends in Konoha.
He walked quietly towards Zabuza Momochi, and then walked to his side skillfully.
I feel more familiar and at ease.
Konoha might be warm, but this was where he belonged.
Suzumiya Musashi: "Okay, that's it. From today on, you can go wherever you like."
As they were about to part, Bai's eyes flashed with reluctance. In the surprised look of Momochi Zabuza, he suddenly took half a step forward and said, "Musashi-senpai."
Suzumiya Musashi turned around: "What's wrong?"
Bai took a breath and said, "Thank you for taking care of me during this time."
"It's not about taking care of me. I'm just doing ninjutsu research."
"Thanks for your cooperation during this period. I hope your future will be more exciting."
"I will." Bai nodded seriously.
Momochi Zabuza looked at Bai, whose temperament was somewhat unfamiliar, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
After saying goodbye to Suzumiya Musashi, the latter turned to Uzumaki Karin and Tenten, and in the reluctant eyes of the two, he said: "Karin, Tenten, I will miss you."
"I wish you can become the strongest female ninja in the ninja world soon."
“I hope we’ll see each other again one day in the future.”
The two girls' eyes suddenly turned red.
"Okay, it's just a farewell, I'm not going to die." Suzumiya Musashi couldn't help but say, "It's a good time to leave now, so that the old man won't miss me."
Before leaving, Suzumiya Musashi seemed to remember something and reminded Bai: "Bai, don't forget what I told you."
Bai: "Musashi-senpai...what did you say?"
Suzumiya Musashi smiled slightly: "Be brave to try new things, and you will discover something different."
After saying goodbye to Haku, Suzumiya Musashi returned to Konoha with Uzumaki Karin and Tenten.
After saying hello to Kamijutsuki Izumo and Gang Zitetsu whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and walking quietly on the familiar bustling streets, Suzumiya Musashi finally felt like he was home.
"Let's go back to our homes!" At the crossroads, Suzumiya Musashi announced the disbandment of the team.
Tiantian was a little surprised: "Teacher, didn't you say that the Hokage was anxious to find you?"
Suzumiya Musashi turned and looked at Tenten, his eyes full of disbelief: "Hokage?"
"Silly child, when you come back from a long trip, the first thing you should do is take a hot bath!"
"As for the Hokage-sama, of course you have to clean yourself up before you go to see him. This is the only way to show respect to the Hokage-sama."
"Okay, go home quickly, your parents probably miss you so much."
After sending Tenten away, Suzumiya Musashi took Uzumaki Karin and walked towards his own home.
I just got home after three years of traveling, so of course I'm not in a rush to get back to work.
Nothing is as important as seeing my sister.
Thinking of Acorus at home, Suzumiya Musashi became a little excited and couldn't help but quicken his pace.
