Tsunade looked at the Third Hokage's helpless expression. She knew her precocious genius of a younger brother had given him a massive headache, but as a devoted older sister—and a woman—would she listen to reason?
With a BOOM, Tsunade smashed the Third Hokage's desk to pieces with her Strength of a Hundred Fist. "No matter what! If my little brother gets hurt or anything happens to him, I'll never forgive you! You old geezer!"
Hearing that he had been demoted from "old man" to "old geezer," the Third Hokage felt deeply wounded. It was all that sly brat's fault. What a headache!
But for now, he had to calm Tsunade down. Ever since this female student of his learned the Konoha Six Powers, even he found her hard to handle. Her attack power, speed, defense, and recovery had all increased dramatically. He guessed that in just a few years, this increasingly violent student would be able to match a monster like the Third Raikage in Taijutsu. Teacher, why is everyone in your family a monster? the Third Hokage complained inwardly to the Second Hokage, who was in the Pure Land.
Giving his now thoroughly wrecked desk a pained glance, the Third Hokage spoke to Tsunade amiably. "Tsunade, there's no need to worry too much. Nawaki is quite capable, and Clan Head Torifu is leading the team. To be on the safe side, I also had Sakumo take a squad of Anbu along to protect them in secret. I don't think there should be a problem."
"Hatake Sakumo? Hmph! At least you have a little conscience!" Hearing that the Third Hokage had sent the White Fang himself to protect her brother, Tsunade finally relaxed. Sakumo was her senior, and she had great confidence in his abilities. Even now, she wasn't sure
