Meanwhile

Two days later.

In Konoha, Tsunade dug out the standard Konoha Jonin vest she had not worn in years and rushed frantically toward Sarutobi Hiruzen's office.

"Bang!"

Princess Tsunade clenched her five fingers into a fist and blasted the Hokage Office door to pieces with a Chakra Enhanced Strength punch, then stormed up to Sarutobi Hiruzen and sat down with a murderous expression.

Tsunade truly was a genius at playing dumb.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed. Ignoring
