Hokage Assassinated! Wait, It's Tsunade, Never Mind

The autumn sun hung high in the sky, and withered yellow leaves detached from the trees, dancing in the wind as they fell onto the street.

A striking figure moved swiftly across the rooftops of the buildings lining the street, her light yellow ponytail bobbing up and down behind her.

Before long, Tsunade, having received the news, arrived at the entrance of the Police Department from Konoha Hospital. Her beautiful eyes scanned forward, and she immediately spotted Qingguang waiting for her at the entrance.

"Big Sister, thank you for your trouble."

Tsunade placed her palm on Qingguang's shoulder. While she appeared calm, inside, she had already thoroughly cursed those scoundrels who sold fake medicine.

"It's no trouble. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid there would have been many more patients in Konoha Hospital suffering from stomach aches due to fake medicine in the future."

"Lead the way."

She had already decided that after inspecting this batch of medicine, she would immediately go find that old man Hiruzen Sarutobi for a "grilling" to vent her anger!

Konoha's Medical Department could not be in the hands of vermin!

Qingguang led the way, taking Tsunade to the place where the medicines were stored. As they passed by the training grounds, he also saw Akiya and Yashiro of the Inuzuka Family under a tree, engaging in some rather intimate behavior.

"Qingguang, what's going on with those two?"

"Big Sister, in less than a month, they'll be holding their wedding. I'll invite you over for drinks then."

Qingguang even quietly leaned close to Tsunade's ear and whispered, "Elder Shifang has some aged good wine hidden away. I'll find a way to get him to bring it."

Hearing this, Tsunade's mood immediately improved significantly. She wrapped her fair arm around Qingguang's neck and pressed her other hand onto his hair, ruffling it thoroughly. "Big Sister hasn't doted on you all these years for nothing. You truly are my good little brother~"

"Let's go, we have important matters to attend to first. With me here, not a single fake medicine will escape my fiery eyes!"

Upon arriving at the warehouse, Tsunade rolled up her sleeves, put on rubber gloves, and her expression shifted as she entered a focused state, beginning her inspection one by one.

Qingguang, meanwhile, got a bento box from the Police Department's cafeteria and placed it on a table outside the warehouse door.

At this hour, Tsunade likely hadn't even had lunch yet. By the time she finished her inspection, it would probably be evening.

Afterward, he rushed to the interrogation team. After preliminary screening and questioning, the completely unaware shop assistants and the innocent owner were quickly released.

Although they had unintentionally sold fake medicine, according to the legal provisions of the Police Department, it was still considered an operational error. They were required to pay a fine and compensate for all the expenses incurred by the patients during their hospitalization and treatment.

Despite some objections, after Qingguang's persuasion, they all realized their dereliction of duty.

As for the remaining few who stubbornly refused to confess, Qingguang no longer intended to waste time. He directly sent someone to the Yamanaka clan to invite a few ninjas to assist.

Soon, a result was obtained.

The source of the mastermind pointed to the Medical Department.

This outcome surprised him. He had initially thought it was a plan by one of the Great Nations' ninja villages to sabotage Konoha during the war.

But in the end, it turned out to be a case of corruption caused by their own people.

It left him momentarily speechless. It was the work of the Great Nations, but it was the work of their own people within Konoha Village...

Just as Qingguang was feeling somewhat helpless about this, the warehouse door opened. Sweat had dampened the corners of Tsunade's temples, and her hair clung to the sides of her face.

As soon as she stepped out, she saw the bento box on the table by the door and Qingguang, who looked troubled.

Without a word, she stepped forward, picked up her chopsticks, and began shoveling the food into her mouth, completely disregarding whether it was hot or cold.

After a few bites, she held the lunchbox and looked at Qingguang, her cheeks bulging as she asked, "Why the long face? Give Big Sister a smile."

Tsunade used the tip of her chopsticks to lift Qingguang's chin.

Qingguang forced a somewhat strained smile.

"How did the interrogation go?"

With a sigh, Qingguang's expression turned serious. "We got the information. The problem originated from the Medical Department."

As he spoke, Qingguang placed a list on the table. It listed the names of three directors from the Medical Department, all of whom were medical ninjas from the Utatane Clan.

Crack.

The bamboo chopsticks snapped in Tsunade's grip, and she threw the bento box onto the table, her appetite vanishing instantly.

Tsunade had initially thought that the medicine dealers had simply strayed from the path for profit. She never expected the problem to originate from the Medical Department!

She immediately got up and walked towards the door.

"Big Sister, your meal..."

"You eat it, don't waste it. I'm in a bad mood and need to go find someone to vent my frustrations on!"

Qingguang was left alone, looking at the half-eaten bento box and silently holding his forehead.

Just then, the cafeteria aunt who delivered meals to the interrogation team happened to push her cart over. She scooped two large spoonfuls of vegetables directly into the lunchbox.

"Child, it's gotten cold. Auntie will add some hot dishes for you. You must be tired today, right?"

"Eat more. If it's not enough, I'll add more. There's plenty."

"Here, chopsticks."

Under the aunt's gaze, Qingguang had no choice but to accept and began to eat with some reluctance.

Huh? Come to think of it, the aunt's cooking today is really good. No wonder Big Sister ate so heartily just now.

At the Hokage Building, the two ninjas on duty downstairs saw someone approaching and intended to stop them.

Because Hiruzen Sarutobi had personally issued an order that no one was to be seen today, as he had important matters to attend to.

But upon seeing that it was Tsunade, they silently turned their heads the other way.

She was the Princess of Konoha, the granddaughter of the First Hokage; who would dare to stop her...

Thump, thump, thump. Her feet, adorned with bright red nail polish, stepped in flat high heels, ascending the stairs.

Arriving at the door of the top floor, Tsunade immediately kicked it open!

BOOM!!!

If it had been anyone else making such a commotion, the ninjas on duty today would surely be punished, and the Anbu ninjas lurking nearby would have already been dispatched to apprehend the intruder.

But as Hatake Sakumo, who had been hiding nearby, was about to reveal himself, he saw it was Tsunade and silently returned to the trees outside the building to lean against one.

"So it was Tsunade. I thought someone was trying to assassinate the Lord Hokage."

Inside the office, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been reading an erotic magazine, was so startled that his soul nearly flew out of his body. He quickly stuffed it into a drawer.

There was only one person in all of Konoha who would dare to do something like this.

And that was his disciple, Tsunade.

"Tsunade, why are you here? Did you finish checking the Police Department's medicine so quickly?"

Slap!

Tsunade slapped the list she was holding directly onto the desk. With one hand on her hip, the anger on her face was not hidden at all; it was all directed at this Hokage.

"I'm asking you, how do you plan to handle this matter!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi knew very well that Tsunade had come to vent her anger at him. No matter how he answered, he would probably be scolded severely.

But unfortunately, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, Tsunade's status was undeniable. Her reputation in Konoha was no less than his own as the Third Hokage, perhaps even greater.
