Is Tsunade Karmic Fire's Wife?

Inside the clan head's office, the atmosphere had originally been peaceful.

But as Uchiha Baru's words fell, the atmosphere in the office instantly froze.

The elder council's chief, Uchiha Hōka, along with Yashiro, Inabi, and the other elders, did not know how to smooth things over.

Before Uchiha Gōka could speak,

the curvaceous Tsunade could no longer stand it. She frowned and fired back sharply:

"I can help the clan head handle the hospital, medical scrolls, financial management, real estate, and everything else you just mentioned!"

"When it comes to hospitals and medical matters, is your Police Force better than me?"

Tsunade stepping forward took everyone by surprise. Even Uchiha Gōka had not expected it.

Hearing Tsunade's words, Uchiha Baru stammered, unable to come up with a response.

After all, Tsunade's medical ninjutsu was famously exceptional throughout the ninja world. She was known as the Saint of Medical Ninjutsu.

The Konoha Police Force simply could not compare to Tsunade in medical matters.

At that moment, another Police Force member stepped out from behind Uchiha Fugaku—Uchiha Naka.

Uchiha Baru and Uchiha Naka were both fiercely loyal to Uchiha Fugaku and served as his right-hand men.

In truth, the two stepping forward had been tacitly approved and directed by Uchiha Fugaku.

Uchiha Naka walked up to Tsunade, his gaze icy as he confronted her head-on.

"What is your status?"

"You're an outsider. What right do you have to manage the affairs of our Uchiha Clan or tell the Uchiha Police Force what to do?"

Tsunade's brows twitched, and a trace of anger appeared in her eyes, but she said nothing.

After a brief silence in the office,

the aged elder council chief, Uchiha Hōka, stepped forward to defuse the situation for Tsunade.

"Ahem... This is Clan Head Karmic Fire's wife."

The moment those words fell, everyone froze.

A look of astonishment immediately appeared on Uchiha Gōka's face.

"Tsunade is my wife?"

Tsunade's beautiful eyes widened, her face blank with bewilderment as she stared at the elder council chief, seemingly asking, What are you talking about???

Once the elder council chief said it, Uchiha Yashiro, Inabi, Tekka, Yakumi, and the other elders did not react too strongly.

After all, the elder council chief and the other elders, including Yashiro, had personally seen Tsunade staying at Uchiha Gōka's home last night.

It had been so late, and they were still living together.

If they were not husband and wife, then what else could they be?

Upon hearing the elder council chief say that Tsunade was Karmic Fire's wife,

Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Baru, and Uchiha Naka all shuddered inwardly, their faces filled with shock.

The office was utterly silent, so silent that things became awkward.

Seeing that no one spoke, the elder council chief added:

"As Clan Head's wife, it is only natural for Tsunade to help Clan Head manage affairs such as the hospital, medical scrolls, financial management, and real estate."

After hearing the elder council chief's words, Uchiha Naka was rendered speechless. He stared blankly at Tsunade, not knowing what to say.

Enraged by the words of Uchiha Naka, Baru, and the others, Tsunade unleashed her full firepower:

"Who gave you the authority to point fingers at the Uchiha Clan's clan head?!"

"Stop wasting my time!!!"

"Hand over all the Uchiha Clan's resources—the hospitals, ninjutsu scrolls, medical scrolls, equipment warehouses, clan genealogy and roster, funds, real estate, businesses, farmland, and everything else!!!"

Facing the aggressive Tsunade, Uchiha Baru and Naka met her blow for blow as they fired back:

"These important resources of the Uchiha Clan have always been managed by the Uchiha Police Force."

"If they're suddenly handed over to Karmic Fire, I'm worried he won't be able to manage them all at once!"

"Karmic Fire only needs to handle the Uchiha Clan's daily affairs."

Tsunade's beautiful eyes blazed with anger as she slammed her palm hard onto the clan head's desk.

Bang!

With that ferocious palm strike, the clan head's desk instantly exploded. The sheer dominance of her aura made everyone present shudder inwardly.

A hint of anger and imperiousness showed in Tsunade's gaze.

"Who gave you the right to call the clan head by name!!!"

"Listen carefully!"

"From now on, you will address him as Clan Head!"

"Besides the hospitals, ninjutsu scrolls, and other resources I mentioned, the position of captain of the Konoha Police Force must also be handed over!"

Hearing Tsunade's words, Uchiha Fugaku's expression darkened slightly.

Uchiha Baru and Uchiha Naka argued:

"Hmph! The captain of the Konoha Police Force is not only elected within the clan, but more importantly, must be appointed by Konoha's higher-ups!"

"Karmic Fire... Oh! Clan Head has no right to hold the position of captain of the Konoha Police Force without an appointment from Konoha's higher-ups."

Tsunade shouted furiously, "Are you all trying to rebel?"

At this moment, Baru, Naka, and the other Police Force members led by Uchiha Fugaku clashed fiercely with Karmic Fire and Tsunade, neither side willing to yield...

This was a tug-of-war for power.

The office was thick with the smell of gunpowder.

Tsunade had even nearly come to blows with Baru, Naka, and the others.

The elder council chief, Uchiha Hōka, along with Uchiha Yashiro, Inabi, Tekka, and the others, did not know how to persuade them.

Tsunade and the Konoha Police Force faced off coldly, unable to reach any conclusion...

At this moment, an imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of Uchiha Fugaku's lips, as though he were saying, Uchiha Gōka, even if you've become clan head, you still have no real power.

The Uchiha Clan's true power is still in the hands of the Konoha Police Force.

Uchiha Baru and Uchiha Naka openly showed disdain on their faces.

The two were certain that Uchiha Gōka and Tsunade would have no way to deal with their Konoha Police Force today.

Make the Konoha Police Force hand over the Uchiha Clan's real power?

No way!!!

In the eyes of the elder council chief, Uchiha Hōka, and the other elders such as Yashiro and Inabi, the Konoha Police Force appeared to hold the upper hand.

Because if this deadlock continued, so long as the Konoha Police Force refused to voluntarily surrender its authority,

Uchiha Gōka and Tsunade truly seemed to have no choice but to swallow the loss.

The elder council chief, Uchiha Hōka, wore an expression of worry and helplessness as he thought to himself:

Right now, the Uchiha Clan is facing exclusion from Konoha's upper ranks and is gradually being pushed out of Konoha's core circle of power.

We must unite as quickly as possible to resist Konoha's oppressive policies!

At a time like this, how can we fight among ourselves?!!!

Uchiha Yashiro also frowned and let out a soft sigh.

"Sigh! What are we supposed to do now?"

"How can this situation possibly be resolved?"

Uchiha Inabi shook his head slightly.

"The elder council chief really had the foresight."

"The elder council chief had predicted it before—never mind whether Karmic Fire could lead us in reviving the Uchiha Clan."

"Even whether Karmic Fire could completely grasp the clan head's real authority was a huge question mark."

"Now, it seems that Uchiha Gōka will find it difficult to truly take over the clan head's authority from Uchiha Fugaku."

Just as tensions reached a breaking point and the situation became impossible to contain,

a figure suddenly darted out.
