Uchiha Dan knew what Tsunade was thinking, but he did it on purpose.

As long as the starting point was not to harm others, but to protect himself, he believed that the understanding Tsunade would understand.

Don't know when it started, Uchiha Dan increasingly did not want to deceive Tsunade.

So Uchiha Dan turned his head and said to Tsunade, "I was forced to deceive you a lot before."

"But from now on, I will never lie to you again. It was you who allowed me to keep living, and it was you who made me no longer need to hide and sneak around."

Tsunade's face turned red as her thoughts were seen through by Uchiha Dan. She quickly said, "Who cares about you, you jerk!"

However, she believed Uchiha Dan's words.

When she asked today, Uchiha Dan revealed everything about his departure and the reasons behind it.

He even called out Hatake Sakumo in front of her to have a conversation.

No matter how much Uchiha Dan had schemed against her in the past, it was only for survival.

Moreover, Uchiha Dan had been genuinely good to her for the past month, so why bother to dwell on it?

"So, Hatake Sakumo, my offer to help and save you is sincere," Uchiha Dan continued to Hatake Sakumo.

"Hmph, I can't be bothered with you!" Hatake Sakumo immediately used Body Flicker Technique and returned to the large tree not far away.

"Big brother, remember this, I will be your firm ally in the future. You can come to me with any problems, and I will do my best to help you."

Uchiha Dan shouted in the direction of Hatake Sakumo, scaring him out of his wits and breaking him out in a cold sweat.

If anyone heard this, what would happen in the future?

"You bastard, shut up!" Hatake Sakumo responded, his whole body chilled.

"He's anxious, Tsunade, look, he's anxious!"

"When you were watching the moon with me, you called me 'young master,' but now times have changed, and you're calling me a bastard."

Hatake Sakumo clenched the tree branch tightly, gritting his teeth in anger, his fingers turning pale.

What moon watching? When did I ever call you 'young master'?

"Dan, that's enough. Senior didn't offend you," Tsunade quickly interjected. She didn't want Hatake Sakumo to truly lose his temper.

"Alright!" Uchiha Dan stopped provoking Hatake Sakumo, after all, he was one of his own from now on.

Since Hatake Sakumo didn't kill him, he had leverage over him for twice knowing and not reporting it, making it impossible for him to ever side with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

It had to be said that Hatake Sakumo's personality was truly unsuitable for the Anbu.

He was too upright, and his own ideas were too numerous and firm.

But Hiruzen Sarutobi intended to use this method to control him, so placing him elsewhere would be even more inappropriate, which was why he was forcibly recruited.

Because once Hatake Sakumo was released, with his strength, his reputation would be completely unstoppable.

In addition, although he was angry with Hatake Sakumo for blocking him and preventing him from escaping, Hatake Sakumo's secret care for him was real.

"Dan, I will verify what you said," Tsunade said seriously after a long pause. "If all of this is true, I promise you, but until then, you cannot leave."

Tsunade didn't disbelieve Dan, but the matter was of great importance. Making the decision to become Hokage was not something that could be done overnight.

"Alright, but if you can't make up your mind, I will leave quietly."

"However, you don't need to overthink it. You can discuss it more with Lady Mito. You can tell her anything I say."

"She is much clearer-headed than you and sees things more transparently."

"I understand!" Tsunade nodded solemnly.

After the two parted ways, Uchiha Dan did not go home but went to a private residence near the Ninja Academy.

At this moment, in a bedroom of the private residence, Namikaze Minato was shivering under the covers.

He had been constantly sensing Uchiha Dan's chakra signature, knowing that he had gone to find Sister Tsunade, and then... he was heading towards him.

Having been influenced by Uchiha Dan's various schemes and tricks since childhood, how could he not guess that the matter had been exposed? Cold sweat poured down his face!

"Minato, are you okay?" Minato's classmate asked, seeing him like this, with some concern.

"Rin, I'm going to die, what should I do?" Namikaze Minato asked in a panic.

Miyagi Rin beside him was startled and quickly touched Namikaze Minato's forehead, asking doubtfully, "You don't have a fever!"

Just then, there was a knock on the door, which made Namikaze Minato tremble all over.

"Who is it?" Miyagi Rin's father asked with some displeasure.

"Uncle Miyagi, I am Uchiha Dan, here to find my younger brother!" Uchiha Dan's voice sounded from outside the door.

Miyagi Jin quickly put on his clothes and rushed to the door.

"Doctor Dan, I didn't expect you to come. It's an honor, a great honor. Please come in!"

Miyagi Jin's life was saved by Uchiha Dan. He wouldn't be rude to anyone, and he certainly wouldn't be displeased with Uchiha Dan, greeting him with extreme enthusiasm.

It was precisely because of this that Namikaze Minato and Miyagi Rin had a very good relationship and could always borrow his home to stay.

"Uncle, I apologize for visiting so late. However, I won't come in. There's something going on at home, and I've come to take Minato back," Uchiha Dan explained with a smile.

"Oh, okay, Minato, your brother's here, come out quickly!" Miyagi Jin hurried towards his son's bedroom, speaking as he went.

"Marala!" Namikaze Minato was completely despairing.

However, he knew that this tribulation was bound to happen and couldn't be avoided, so he reluctantly walked out.

Upon seeing Uchiha Dan, Namikaze Minato forced a smile that looked worse than crying.

"Brother..."

Uchiha Dan just let out a sinister chuckle, causing Namikaze Minato to flinch.

After greeting Miyagi Jin, he grabbed Namikaze Minato and left.

Late at night in the training grounds, Namikaze Minato shivered in the gentle breeze.

But before he could even try to argue... no, explain.

Uchiha Dan directly grabbed him and spanked his butt fiercely: "I'll teach you to talk nonsense, you brat, what's wrong with you? Let's see if you dare again!"

"Brother, it hurts, stop hitting me!" Namikaze Minato's shrill screams echoed through the training grounds.

"Tell me, why did you set up your brother?" After spanking Namikaze Minato for a while, Uchiha Dan asked fiercely once his anger had subsided somewhat.

"Brother, didn't you tell me that Tsunade-nee can be trusted?" Namikaze Minato said aggrievedly.

"You dare talk back? Just because she can be trusted doesn't mean you can talk nonsense?" Uchiha Dan immediately prepared to strike again.

"No, no, no, that's not it!" Namikaze Minato dangled from Uchiha Dan's hand, clutching his bottom tightly with both hands, speaking urgently and emotionally, "It's because I can't bear to be apart from you, brother!"

At these words, Uchiha Dan's hand immediately froze, and his heart couldn't help but ache.

"Didn't I tell you I'd leave after I mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique?" Uchiha Dan said, still a little angry. "I'll come back to see you often then."

"But that's different!" Namikaze Minato said, his eyes welling up with tears.

"How is it different?"

"It's just different!" Namikaze Minato said sadly, "Even if I can see you often, brother, I still feel like you're very far away."

"But if you could stay in Konoha, even if we couldn't see each other every day, I would be very content."

Hearing this, a wave of sadness also surged in Uchiha Dan's heart. He put Namikaze Minato down, tidied his clothes, and chuckled, scolding him, "Don't think I don't know what you're up to."

"You caused trouble, so you're trying to make up for it this way, right?"

"Hehe!" Knowing Uchiha Dan's personality, Namikaze Minato knew he had passed this hurdle and became shameless again. "Didn't you tell me that if you can't solve a problem, you should use a bigger problem to divert attention?"

"You have no idea how angry Tsunade-nee was. The moment I said you were leaving, she immediately became less angry."

Uchiha Dan was amused and angered again. He rubbed Namikaze Minato's face vigorously and cursed, "You little brat, although I taught you to use your brain more since you were little, I didn't mean for you to use all your tricks on your brother!"

"Brother... it hurts... let go..."
