Tsunade twitched the corner of her mouth and gave a cold smile. She straightened up from the back of the chair, put her hands back on the table, pressed her fingertips on the emergency notification paper, and pressed out two shallow wrinkles.
"They didn't take the wrong medicine, they were afraid Uchiha Yongye."
"Not sending Yugito to apologize is already considered audacious!"
Jiraiya was stunned for a moment, suddenly realized, and then his face became extremely confused.
Pain bulldozed Konoha on his own, and was pushed to the ground by Uchiha Yongye on his own.
The noise of that battle was so loud that it was impossible for Kumogakure's spies not to see it. The Barbarians gang of Kumo ninjas were indeed bellicose, but they were just brutal and tough, not really brainless.
Tsunade tapped her fingers twice on the edge of Scroll, tapping her knuckles on the paper, making two short and one long soft sounds. Her eyes moved away from Jiraiya's face and landed on Shizune.
"Reply to Kumogakure and ask for fifty times the compensation! The wording must be harsh, severe, and severe!"
"Tell them, if they don't give it, we will send Uchiha Yongye to ask for it!"
"We will not be responsible for any serious consequences that may occur at that time!"
Shizune's back straightened suddenly, his heels came together, and he made a crisp sound.
A smile quickly broke out on her face, the corners of her mouth turned up, the fine lines at the corners of her eyes widened, and her voice was half a degree higher than before.
"Yes!"
She turned and walked towards the door, her steps a little faster than when she came, her heels making a series of short sounds on the wooden floor.
"Don't worry!"
Jiraiya's voice came from the side. It wasn't loud, but it was enough to stop Shizune in her tracks. Her toes had already turned halfway, stopped at the edge of the threshold, and turned back to look at Jiraiya.
Jiraiya's hands returned to his chest, his back was slightly arched, and his body's center of gravity moved from the heels to the forefoot, with a tangled face.
His eyes were fixed on Tsunade's face, and the corners of his mouth were pulled to both sides and then pulled back, as if he had just swallowed a mouthful of bitter coptis.
"Talk some more, talk some more."
"Fifty times is too outrageous. Those Barbarianss can't possibly agree!"
Tsunade's brows furrowed again. Her eyes moved away from Shizune's face and landed on Jiraiya's face. She raised her chin slightly, with a hint of impatience in her voice.
"What else is there to talk about?"
"This is Yun Ninja's test, we must fight back hard! If we show any weakness, the next time they come will not be just one Jinchūriki, but the entire elite of Kumogakure."
"Moreover, our Konoha has suffered a lot of losses recently and is in urgent need of extra money to make up for it!"
Jiraiya's eyes flickered for a moment, then drifted to the window and then back again. His fingers tapped lightly on the crook of his arm twice, and his voice was half a degree lower than before.
"What if Uchiha Yongye doesn't want to? What if he..."
Tsunade's brows furrowed even more tightly, and the veins in the corners of her eyes twitched. She interrupted Jiraiya, her voice raised half a degree, with an impatient tone of "Are you having trouble with your brain?"
"Whether he wants it or not!"
"As long as the news spreads, I don't believe those Barbarians are not afraid."
"They are so talented, I will do whatever it takes to let Uchiha Yongye take a real trip!"
"That brat has been very angry lately... It would be best to let him torment foreign enemies!"
She paused, and her eyes swept around Jiraiya's face, stopping at the bitter smile at the corner of his mouth that had not been completely withdrawn.
"What on earth do you want to say?"
Jiraiya's body leaned slightly back half an inch, his chin slightly retracted, his eyes moved away from Tsunade's face, and landed on the urgent notification that had not yet been closed on the desktop.
"What if...Uchiha Yongye is no longer here?"
The air in the office suddenly became quiet for a moment. The sound of the wind outside the window became particularly clear at that moment, squeezing in through the gaps in the window frame, carrying a dry grassy smell.
Tsunade's eyes were fixed on Jiraiya's face, and his pupils shrank in the sunlight.
She loosened her fingers from their interlocking state and placed them on the table. She pressed her fingertips lightly on the wooden table and her voice turned cold.
"What did you say? Speak clearly!"
Jiraiya took a deep breath, his shoulders lifted slightly with the inhalation, and then slowly fell.
He raised his eyes again and met Tsunade's gaze with determination.
"When fighting outside, you must first be inside! Your bottle of poison is not used to deal with Orochimaru, it is prepared for Uchiha Yongye."
Tsunade looked annoyed at first, but soon turned into extremely contemptuous.
"You want to deal with Uchiha Yongye with just a bottle of poison, you really know how to dream!"
Jiraiya shrank his neck and lowered his voice.
"There are also Shisui Uchiha backstab sneak attacks, and..."
"Impure World Reincarnation, summons Master First and Second."
"Three consecutive kills, that kid is dead!"
Bang!
Tsunade's right fist was pulled up from the waist. Chakra condensed a very light film of light on the fist surface, and then hit Jiraiya's chest.
Jiraiya's body was like a kicked sandbag, his feet lifted off the ground and flew backwards. His back smashed into the window frame behind him, sawdust and broken glass exploded in the air, and his whole body passed through the gap in the window and hit the grass below the exterior wall.
He made a shallow pit in the turf, the soil rolled up, and grass clippings spread out from the bottom of the pit, falling on his messy clothes.
"Ahem..."
Jiraiya lay on the ground, propped up his elbows, turned his body from lying to his side, coughed twice, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
Tsunade jumped down from the window break and landed on the grass, leaving two shallow pits on the soles of his shoes.
Her hands hung by her sides, her fingers opened and closed, and her eyes were fixed on Jiraiya's face. The anger burned from her eyebrows to her cheekbones, and then from her cheekbones to her neck. The veins on the side of her neck were slightly raised under the skin.
"You idiots!"
"Do you know what you are doing?"
"I still want to use Impure World Reincarnation!"
Tsunade was so angry that he gnashed his teeth, stepped on Jiraiya, and cursed.
"It's true that more success than failure leads to failure!"
"A bunch of rubbish, only good at holding you back!"
"What makes you think that Shisui Uchiha is still on your side? He is Uchiha!"
"Even if Shisui is on your side, why do you think you can keep Uchiha Yongye?"
"Four Violet Flames Formation just want to trap him?"
"Last time, his Shadow Clone easily exploded the big ball in the sky. Didn't you see it because you were blind?"
"Even if you are just lucky and everything goes well, and you really kill him, what about the threats from other ninja villages?"
Jiraiya finally found a chance to refute.
"The threat from other ninja villages is just a small hidden danger. At the worst, it could mean ceding land and paying compensation. There is always a way."
"Uchiha Yongye is the real trouble!"
"Great Toad Sage said that he will harm the entire ninja world!"
"We must get rid of him as soon as possible, at any cost!"
The worst case scenario is ceding territory and paying compensation?
Tsunade was so angry that he was speechless!
She stared at Jiraiya coldly, and for the first time, she felt real murderous intent in her heart!
It would be fine if she wandered outside and kept out of sight. Now she is personally in charge of Konoha, shedding blood and tears, and will never allow anyone to harm the interests of Konoha.
