Early morning, Third Hokage's office.
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, pondered for a moment.
"Alright! Let's put an end to the matter of the four ANBU ninja being seriously injured."
"Um... as for whether we should continue sending ANBU to monitor Uchiha Gōka..."
Danzo Shimura cut off the Third Hokage, his old face grim.
"Uchiha Gōka is a dangerous man!"
"We cannot let Uchiha Gōka out of our sight!"
"Hiruzen, this time, four ANBU ninja were seriously injured."
"Have you forgotten how Uchiha Gōka put us on the back foot during the last Konoha regular meeting?"
Just moments ago, the Third Hokage had still been hesitant about whether to continue sending ANBU to monitor Uchiha Gōka.
But after hearing Danzo Shimura's words—
The Third Hokage still agreed.
"Fine!"
"Then continue sending ANBU ninja to monitor Uchiha Gōka."
"However... the ANBU ninja must keep a certain distance from Uchiha Gōka."
After everyone chatted briefly for a while longer—
Danzo Shimura, Orochimaru, Koharu Utatane, and the others prepared to leave...
Danzo Shimura, with bandages wrapped around his forehead and right arm, had just reached the door and was about to open it.
Bang!
Suddenly, a violent crash came from the door.
Danzo Shimura's pupils abruptly shrank as he saw it—the Hokage's office door was flying straight at him...
It was too close!!!
Danzo Shimura had no way to dodge.
Before everyone's astonished eyes—
The flying door slammed directly into Danzo Shimura.
Carried by the force of the door's momentum, Danzo Shimura was sent flying along with it.
Bang!
With a heavy impact—
Danzo Shimura's old face was pressed against the flying door as he smashed heavily into the Third Hokage's desk.
Everyone stared at Danzo Shimura, who had been viciously flung to the ground, their faces full of disbelief.
After all, Danzo Shimura was extremely suspicious by nature and ruthless in his methods.
In the past, Danzo Shimura had never suffered such a loss.
Astonished, everyone looked in the direction the door had come from...
They saw Tsunade standing at the doorway, her brows furrowed and her face full of fury.
Behind Tsunade stood the Great Elder, Uchiha Hōka, Uchiha Setsuna, as well as Yashiro, Inabi, and the others.
Clearly, Tsunade had kicked the Hokage's office door flying with her monstrous strength.
When the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, saw Tsunade's manner, he cried out inwardly that things were bad. He knew Tsunade had come to make trouble.
Tsunade strode aggressively up to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Were you the one who sent ANBU to monitor Karmic Fire and me last night?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi was caught off guard by Tsunade's question and did not dare answer.
If he answered yes—
Then Tsunade would naturally assume that the ANBU ninja had infiltrated Karmic Fire's home under Hiruzen Sarutobi's orders as well.
How could Tsunade possibly let him off easily then?
At that moment, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, actually stammered when facing Tsunade.
"Uh... well..."
Last night, because of those four ANBU ninja—
Uchiha Gōka had suffered backlash from using the Resurrection Technique.
Tsunade had been bottling up her anger, with nowhere to vent it.
After a long while, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally forced out a sentence.
"Uh... this kind of thing will not happen again."
"On behalf of the ANBU, I apologize to you and Clan Head Karmic Fire."
Tsunade raised her hand and slammed it down on the Third Hokage's desk.
Crack!
Accompanied by a sharp smack—
Hiruzen Sarutobi's desk shattered with a crash.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression turned ugly. Knowing he was in the wrong, he did not rebuke Tsunade.
The people around them stared at Tsunade in shock.
The Great Elder's old face trembled slightly.
"Clan Head Karmic Fire's fiancée actually dared to lose her temper directly in the Hokage's office?!"
Uchiha Setsuna's sinister face was filled with astonishment.
"Even when I come to the Hokage Building, I don't dare act recklessly."
"Tsunade truly has guts and nerve. She dares to act and is afraid of nothing!"
Even Orochimaru, Koharu Utatane, and Homura Mitokado were dumbfounded.
Koharu Utatane could not stand it any longer. She stepped forward and sternly questioned her.
"Tsunade, is the Hokage's office a place for you to behave so outrageously?"
Tsunade snorted coldly.
"Hmph! Old woman, as a senior advisor of Konoha Village—"
"Tell me, what reason did the ANBU have to infiltrate Karmic Fire's and my home?!"
At Tsunade's question—
Koharu Utatane was instantly left speechless, not knowing how to answer.
Danzo Shimura, who had just been sent flying, had blood streaming from his nose.
After wiping it off roughly, Danzo Shimura stood up, his heart filled with fury.
Damn Tsunade. She actually sent this old man flying.
Danzo Shimura knitted his brows, his gaze vicious as he pressed her harshly.
"Tch!"
"Tsunade! The ANBU ninja were monitoring Uchiha Gōka, not you!"
"They infiltrated Uchiha Gōka's home in the dead of night, not your home!"
"What does this have to do with you?"
"What right do you have to come here and make trouble?!"
Faced with Danzo Shimura's domineering interrogation—
Tsunade froze for a moment, suddenly at a loss for words.
Homura Mitokado stepped forward at the right moment and questioned her.
"Tsunade, this is a matter between the ANBU and the Uchiha Clan."
"You have no right whatsoever to interfere."
After hearing Danzo Shimura and Homura Mitokado's words—
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, looked much better, as though he had found an excuse to absolve himself.
"Um... Tsunade, I will not blame you for this."
"You should go back."
Suddenly, as if she had been pushed too far, Tsunade's expression hardened.
With her hands on her hips, she could not help raising her voice.
"I am Uchiha Gōka's wife!"
"And you say I have no right to interfere in this matter?!"
Everyone's expressions changed upon hearing Tsunade's words.
Then, Tsunade stared coldly at Danzo Shimura and pressed him.
"I am Karmic Fire's wife. Tell me, do I have the right to interfere in Karmic Fire's affairs?"
The door Tsunade had kicked out had just sent him flying.
And now Tsunade was pointing at his nose and grilling him.
Danzo Shimura's old face turned sullen, and he could not say a word.
Tsunade did not let the matter rest there.
"Danzo, let me ask you!"
"Did you force the Uchiha Clan to buy the land where the Senju Clan once lived, along with the Senju Clan's abandoned houses?"
Danzo Shimura's old face darkened, several dark lines appearing across his forehead.
"The Senju Clan's remaining assets belong to my cousin Senju Chengshui and me."
"What right does Danzo Shimura have to sell them off!"
Seeing Danzo Shimura holding back until his old face turned red without saying a word—
Tsunade turned to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Old man, tell me, what right does Danzo have to sell off the Senju Clan's assets?"
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, knew he was in the wrong and held his tongue.
Seeing Hiruzen and Danzo remain silent—
Tsunade put her hands on her hips, swept her gaze over Hiruzen, Danzo, Koharu Utatane, and the others, then raised her voice.
"Hand over the money you made from selling the Senju Clan's land and properties, now!"
"Otherwise! I'll tear down the Hokage's office today!"
