Honestly, I'm Really Tired

Judging a person's threat by guesswork is something Danzo would do.

Danzo, based solely on speculation, that the Akatsuki, founded by Yahiko, Nagato, Konan, would threaten Konoha. That's why he joined forces with Hanzo to try and eliminate the Akatsuki.

However, Tsunade is not the kind of person who makes judgments about someone based on mere guesswork or things that haven't happened yet.

Hinata's record is still very clean, and she has never done anything to harm Konoha.

That being said, Hinata's threat is indeed real.

People are sometimes so contradictory.

Tsunade did indeed intend to groom Hinata to succeed as the Sixth Hokage. At that time, Hinata even had quite a few supporters... led by Kakashi.

After all, Naruto hasn't really shown any outstanding qualities yet, while Hinata's performance is far superior to Naruto's...

However, when Hinata resigned from her position as Hokage's secretary and did not follow the path Tsunade had laid out for her, Tsunade lost interest in having Hinata succeed her Sixth Generation.

Furthermore, Hinata's choice of clan is a free choice of her own will, and Tsunade will respect Hinata's choice.

The key issue is... Hinata is too strong.

Hinata has become so powerful that no one can stop her.

The more experiences one has, the more one understands that human desires cannot be satisfied, and that once the desires of the strong erupt, they often lead to irreversible and terrible consequences.

Tsunade can only hope that Hinata can restrain herself, just like Hashirama Senju, and refrain from doing anything that would harm the village or the Shinobi World.

"Hmm..."

After a moment's hesitation, Tsunade turned to Shizune and asked, "Kakashi will be back tonight, right?"

Shizune retorted mercilessly, "Lady Tsunade actually still remembers this..."

Tsunade ignored Shizune and announced loudly, "This time, let Kakashi and Hinata go on the mission to Sunagakure!"

Hinata once captured Gaara alive, and Gaara has now become the Fifth Kazekage of Sunagakure.

Sending Hinata to Sunagakure to attend Gaara's inauguration ceremony at this time would undoubtedly displease Sunagakure, who would believe that Konoha was intentionally intimidating Sunagakure.

But Tsunade also had her own ideas.

According to intelligence reports, Gaara is still very popular in Sunagakure, especially among the younger generation, where Gaara has almost become an idol.

Even if Hinata has no intention of succeeding Hokage, letting Hinata understand the responsibilities of a 'Kage' and see the village's expectations and trust in the 'Kage' will undoubtedly have some positive effects.

If one only sees the rights of a Kage but not their responsibilities, then one will end up like the Uchiha clan, attempting to seize power through a coup.

Hoping that Hinata can exercise self-discipline is one thing, but it doesn't mean that Tsunade doesn't have to do anything.

In fact, up to this point, Tsunade still trusts Hinata very much.

After all, Hinata voluntarily gave up the Hokage Position, rather than giving it up out of desperation because she couldn't become Hokage.

To be honest, if Hinata wanted to, many people in the village would support Hinata.

The real fear is that some members of the Hyuga Clan might harbor inappropriate thoughts because of Hinata's strength.

"Lady Tsunade..."

Just as Shizune was about to say something, Tsunade her Teuchi, saying, "I have my own thoughts on this matter, you don't need to say anything more!"

Hinata received the order in the evening.

She stumbled into the Hokage's Office in a daze... If Tsunade had summoned Hinata any later, she might have found Hinata in her pajamas.

People say that people who get up late must be night owls, because they are especially energetic at night.

But Hinata is different!

Hinata always goes to bed early and wakes up late; if she goes to bed late, she wakes up very late...

Looking at Hinata's confused expression, Tsunade smiled and explained, "Sunagakure just sent a letter that the Fifth Kazekage's inauguration ceremony will begin in a few days."

"As an ally, Sunagakure has invited Konoha to Sunagakure to attend the Kazekage's inauguration ceremony and to discuss the Joint Chunin Exam this July..."

"Kakashi, Hinata! You two represent Konoha at the inauguration ceremony!"

"Huh?"

Hinata was filled with reluctance, all her emotions written on her face. She retorted righteously, "Why me? Send someone else!"

For the first time, Kakashi felt that Hinata's words were full of profound wisdom. "Lady Tsunade, I just came back from a mission, and it was an S-rank mission at that... You're really giving me too much orders!"

Tsunade said calmly, "Putting aside the village relationship, Hinata and Gaara should have the best relationship... Oh! Gaara is the Fifth Kazekage!"

At this point, Tsunade glanced at Hinata.

Hinata still looked half asleep.

Tsunade continued, "Furthermore... although Konoha and Sand Village are allies, Sunagakure has never been peaceful. Hinata once captured Gaara alive, so sending Hinata to Sunagakure is also a kind of deterrent to Sunagakure."

Kakashi rolled his dead fish eyes and said listlessly, "Sunagakure will probably be very unhappy!"

Hinata wholeheartedly agreed, "Yeah, right! If I went, wouldn't that be provoking them?"

This mission to Sand Village is different in significance from the last one.

The last time Gaara went to Sunagakure, he wasn't the Kazekage yet. But now Gaara is the Fifth Kazekage, so sending Hinata to Sunagakure again would be a blatant provocation against the Sand Village.

Tsunade snorted and said loudly, "What do you think the Joint Chunin Exam are all about?"

"Peace between ninja villages has always been maintained by strength. Sending Hinata to Gaara's inauguration ceremony might make Sunagakure unhappy, but it will keep them in line for a long time."

Hinata continued to nitpick, "Even if the Sunagakure is outwardly law-abiding, they'll still do things behind the scenes!"

Kakashi nodded repeatedly, agreeing wholeheartedly, "Compared to overt dangers, covert dangers are far more terrifying!"

"When did you two start conspiring together?"

Tsunade on the table and roaring, "I am the Hokage of Konoha, and everyone listens to me!"

"Yes!"

Hinata and Kakashi obediently accepted the order, exchanged a helpless glance, and Kakashi said, "It's too late today, let's go back and rest for the night, and set off early tomorrow morning!"

Hinata sighed, "Let's leave the day after tomorrow!"

"Teacher Kakashi, I'll fly you there; it'll be much faster."

Kakashi pondered for a moment, sighed, and agreed, "If you could fly faster, we could actually set off the day after tomorrow..."

"Get out of here, you two!"

Tsunade's forehead veins bulged as she roared, "I want to see you at the Konoha Gate at seven o'clock tomorrow morning. I'll be there to wait for you myself!"

"Yes!"

Hinata and Kakashi helped each other out of the Hokage's Office, leaving Tsunade with only two lonely and tired figures.

"Kakashi just got back from a mission, fine... Hinata Hyuga!!! You stay home all day and never go out, what's so tiring about you!!!"

Even after Hinata had left the Hokage's Office, she could still hear Tsunade's roar coming from inside.
