The compliant procedure for settling a surviving spouse and the top-secret sealing of rehabilitation records

Inside Hokage's Office, the door Fugaku Uchiha closed when he left made a slight and dull hinge sound.

That sound seemed to bring an end to a silent wrestling match.

Shikaku Nara Just when he was about to say something, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

Tsunade walked in.

She didn't knock on the door.

The iconic green coat on her body was gone, and she was just wearing a medical ninja uniform that had been washed a little white and was tightly stretched around her body. There was a lingering gloominess on her face, and the dark blue under her eyes showed long-term fatigue.

In her hand, she only held a thin folder.

Tsunade walked straight to the desk and slammed the folder on the table.

There was a muffled "pop" sound.

The corners of the folder were slightly rolled up due to excessive force.

Baishi and Shikaku both looked at her.

Tsunade took a deep breath and his chest rose and fell, as if he was calming down his emotions in this way.

"Lord Hokage."

Her voice was hoarse, with an unnoticeable tremor.

"This is the resettlement report about the survivors of Namikaze Minato...Uzumaki Kushina."

Baishi's eyes moved away from Tsunade's face and landed on the folder. The cover was Konoha Hospital's standard kraft paper, with a line of words written on it in black ink. The handwriting was very sloppy and full of emotion.

He didn't go to get it immediately.

"Lady Tsunade, thank you for your hard work." Baishi's tone was very calm, without any disturbance. "Sit down and talk."

Tsunade didn't move, still standing there, like a tense statue.

"I'm not here to listen to polite words." Tsunade's voice became louder, "Kushina's situation is very clear in the report. She was injured while protecting a nurse during the riot in the hospital, and her emotions have basically calmed down. I think she no longer needs 'special care'."

She paused and looked directly at Baishi.

"I apply to lift her 24-hour supervision and restore her freedom of movement in the village. After all, she is the widow of Fourth Hokage and a heroic family member of Konoha. We cannot treat her like a prisoner."

These words were said with sincerity.

Shikaku stood aside, lowering his eyelids slightly, looking at his toes, as if he was studying the texture of the floor.

In the office, there is only the sound of the second hand of the clock on the wall moving, click, click, click.

Baishi finally reached out and took the folder over. He opened the first page and his eyes moved slowly on the paper. His reading speed was very slow, and his fingers would occasionally unconsciously rub the edges of the paper.

"Emotions are basically stable..." Baishi read out the words in the report softly, then raised his head and looked at Tsunade, "Lady Tsunade, the word 'basically' is used very strictly. This shows that you can't guarantee 100% that her emotions will not get out of control again, right?"

Tsunade moved his lips, but could not say anything to refute.

"Her behavior in the hospital has been classified as an 'accident' by the Publicity Department and treated coldly." Baishi continued, his voice still calm, "But we all know internally that it was a small-scale Chakra rampage. If she hadn't retained a trace of sanity at the last moment, the consequences would have been disastrous."

He turned the folder to the next page, and attached was a Chakra fluctuation monitoring chart. The red peak curve was like a dazzling sharp knife.

"What's more, she is Jinchuriki of Nine-Tails. Her emotional stability is not only her personal matter, but also related to the safety of the entire village."

Baishi Close the folder, place it gently on the desktop, cross your fingers, and lean forward slightly.

"Lady Tsunade, you should know better than me the provisions of Chapter 3, Article 7 of "Severe Trauma Family Psychological Intervention Regulations"."

Tsunade's pupils shrank suddenly.

That is an extremely unpopular regulation. It was established during the Second Hokage period to deal with the large number of mentally broken ninjas and their families that appeared after the war. No one has used it for many years.

"The regulations clearly stipulate that any ninja family members who have experienced major changes and are highly dangerous themselves (such as Jinchuriki, those who master Forbidden Jutsu) will lose control of their emotions or Chakra After abnormally fluctuates, you must receive professional, systematic, and mandatory psychological intervention and rehabilitation treatment." Baishi spoke slowly, but every word was like a nail nailed into Tsunade's heart.

"You want to lock her up?" Tsunade's voice was full of disbelief.

"It's not detention, it's treatment." Baishi corrected, without any change in tone, "It's for her good, and it's also for the good of the village. We can't wait until the next accident happens before regretting it."

He looked at Shikaku.

"Shikaku, please remember. According to the evaluation report of "Severe Trauma Family Psychological Intervention Regulations" and Medical Department, I have given instructions: Uzumaki Kushina will be immediately transferred to 'Special-Grade Sanatorium' directly under the jurisdiction of ANBU for the first phase of three-month closed rehabilitation treatment."

"Special-Grade Sanatorium?" Tsunade sneered, "You and I know exactly where that place is."

That is a place where ANBU uses it to house arrest and "treat" important people who have mental problems but whose identities are extremely sensitive. Those who go in will never come out without Hokage's order.

"There are the most advanced medical equipment, the most professional psychological counseling experts, and... the most reliable security measures." Baishi completely ignored Tsunade's sarcasm, "I believe that there, Kushina can get the best care, and her privacy can also be protected with the most thoroughness."

He paused and added.

"All recovery files about Kushina will be listed as S-Rank Top Secret from now on. All access applications will be reviewed and approved by Hokage's Office. Externally, it is claimed that the fourth generation widow is too sad and needs to rest."

Shikaku took out the notepad he carried with him and started recording. The tip of the pen scratched the paper, making a rustling sound.

Every word, in legal terms, completely deprives Uzumaki Kushina of his freedom.

Using the most humane medical regulations, the most ruthless practice of house arrest was used.

Tsunade looked at the scene in front of her, looked at Baishi's face that was so calm and almost indifferent, looked at Shikaku's business-like attitude, a huge feeling of powerlessness seized her.

All her emotions, anger, and unwillingness seemed so pale and ridiculous in front of this set of strict systems and rules.

She lost.

Total loss.

Tsunade's chest heaved violently, he clenched his fists tightly, and his nails dug deeply into his palms.

For a long time, she seemed to have used all her strength to squeeze out a sentence from between her teeth.

"Okay. Since it's treatment, there must be an attending physician."

She raised her head, her eyes burning with the last stubbornness.

"I apply that I will personally serve as Kushina's attending physician and be fully responsible for her rehabilitation plan."

This is her final bottom line. She must defend her right to contact Kushina.

The air in the office seemed to solidify because of these words.

Shikaku stopped writing and raised his eyes to look at Baishi.

Baishi looked at Tsunade without any surprised expression on his face. He seemed to have expected that Tsunade would make this request.

He unhurriedly pulled out a copy of Red-Header Document that he had already prepared from another pile of documents at hand, and gently pushed it in front of Tsunade.

"Lady Tsunade, I have never doubted your professional ability. It's just..."

Baishi's mouth curved in an imperceptible arc.

"Medical Department has just reported Personnel Adjustment Plan, and we need you, the former minister, to check it."
