Already Super Kage, and Still Expected to Reason with Chunin?

"Barrier Ninjutsu."

Xiang spoke to the three Anbu Ninja around him.

"There is no longer any need to set up a barrier."

"Sigh, they just used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave. What's the point of setting up this Barrier Ninjutsu then?"

After the cancellation, a member of the Anbu Ninja sighed slightly.

Xiang glanced at him but didn't say anything.

This Barrier Ninjutsu wasn't originally intended to trap Kanami, but rather to trap the other Ninja in the office, preventing them from escalating the conflict at this crucial moment.

Tsunade knew about Kanami's Flying Thunder God Technique, so she naturally understood that Barrier Ninjutsu couldn't trap Kanami.

Inside the office.

"Lord Hokage, now we..."

A Ninja asked timidly.

He didn't know what to say, but the atmosphere was strange. The other party's key personnel had all left, and they were the ones stuck here, unsure whether to leave or not.

Before Kanami appeared, they gathered here to discuss how to handle the situation of Kanami leaving with the Akatsuki Leader.

Unexpectedly, not only did they fail to reach a conclusion during the discussion, but the other side's appearance nearly resulted in the deaths of the Ninja who wanted to deal with Kanami and the Akatsuki Leader.

Tsunade frowned. "Dismissed. Go do what you were doing. Just pretend today never happened."

"Also, what happened today must not be revealed. No matter what, if it is revealed, you will all be punished, understand?"

"Yes, Lord Hokage!"

The Ninja responded in unison, their voices filled with passion as if they were about to leave work and be free.

Soon, a sparse crowd emerged from the Hokage's Office.

Just as only one person remained, Tsunade called out, "Wait a minute, Kakashi."

Kakashi knew he was likely to be called back, so he deliberately slowed his pace, keeping himself at the back of the group.

The moment he heard his name called, he stopped in his tracks, and Might Guy in front of him also stopped.

"Lord Hokage, Kakashi..."

Before he could finish speaking, Kakashi raised his hand and shook his head at Might Guy.

He was signaling to stop talking.

Seeing this, Might Guy didn't know what to do.

"Kakashi, you and the Lord Hokage have a good talk. I'll wait for you outside."

After saying that, he turned and left the Hokage's Office.

Kakashi faced the main gate, his back to Tsunade. He took a deep breath and then exhaled.

"Call..."

He turned to Tsunade, bowed, and said, "Lord Hokage."

Then there were no further words.

"Sigh..." Tsunade sighed as well.

She slowly sat back in the Hokage's chair. "Kakashi, I know that the suicide of your father, the Konoha White Fang, has always been a thorn in your side, but so much time has passed now..."

"I know, it's just that too much time has passed, and there's no possibility of redressing the injustice. Back then, the mindset was that the mission was more important than comrades. I understand that even if things have changed now, the difference won't be significant."

Kakashi calmly said, "I never intended to seek justice, otherwise I would have done so long ago. It's just that no one can insult my father in front of me, no matter who they are."

"I know, it's alright now, you can go back," Tsunade said.

Goodbye, Lord Hokage.

Kakashi nodded politely and left the Hokage's Office.

Outside the office building.

"Kakashi!" Might Guy greeted him with a smile. "Are you alright? Did the Lord Hokage give you any trouble?"

Kakashi saw that Might Guy was still there, and his eyes immediately reverted to their usual slightly resigned look. "It's alright, let's go."

The two walked faster and faster, gradually starting to run; it was clear they were silently beginning their umpteenth race.

Meanwhile, at Kanami's house.

Kanami and the others returned home.

"Are you really alright?"

Konan asked worriedly.

Kanami waved his hand casually. "It's nothing, just a minor disagreement. I'll be fine after a good night's sleep."

"Huh??" Konan asked, somewhat puzzled.

No, people are already dead. Two died on the spot, and one was seriously injured. Can this be considered a minor conflict?

This is already rife with contradictions!

When she turned to look at Hinata, Hinata Hyuga just gave an awkward smile, "It's okay, go to sleep, you've been up all night."

Two-Tails Matatabi slowly walked up. "Hinata- san, where have you been?"

"Nothing serious, it's just that I almost got into a fight with Lady Tsunade on this trip."

Matatabi:???

"This isn't a big deal?"

"These are all minor matters, not important. Tsunade will understand. Of course, I'm just setting an example, otherwise, all sorts of clowns would come and cause trouble in front of me, and I'd be driven crazy with annoyance."

Kanami said calmly.

He's trained for so many years and reached the Kage Kage-level. If he could still be provoked by a Chunin or someone like that, and still have to waste his breath reasoning Chunin them, then what's the point of training?

The meaning of cultivation lies in being able to directly suppress injustice when faced with it, rather than wasting time spouting a bunch of grand principles.

They're already at the Super Kage, why are they still trying to reason with Chunin?

As General Duanmu once said, "I'm too lazy to lecture you on grand principles; you're not worthy to listen!"

"My house is practically empty, very spacious, but it has a lot of rooms. You two can find a room to sleep in. Goodnight."

After Kanami finished speaking, he took Hinata's little hand and went up to the bedroom on the second floor, while the Two-Tails Matatabi quickly followed.

She was still worried that Nagato and Konan might do something to her.

In particular, Nagato's Rinnegan allowed her to always sense the Sage of Six Paths Paths' aura, which greatly influenced her.

Seeing Kanami and Hinata leave, Nagato and Konan looked at each other in bewilderment.

"..."

"How about we find a room and get some sleep first?"

"Okay."

Konan pushed the Nagato and chose a room on the first floor, choosing the one closest to her.

On the other side, Ōnoki and Kitsuchi, who had run back to Iwagakure overnight, were both exhausted and sweating profusely.

"They didn't chase after us again, did they?"

Kitsuchi asked, panting.

Ōnoki glared at him. "We're already at Iwagakure, what are they still doing chasing us for?!
