There were things Kakashi and Guy naturally couldn't bring themselves to say.
But Naruto spoke without reservation.
"Betrayal? I wouldn't call it that."
"After all, Konoha is gone. Do they really have to die alongside a relic of a bygone era before you'll be satisfied?"
Calling Kakashi and the others traitors to Konoha wasn't entirely wrong, but there was nothing wrong with what Naruto said, either.
Konoha had already been destroyed. The idea that they had to die for it to prove their loyalty made no sense whatsoever.
Never mind that everyone's family, friends, and clansmen were currently in Naruto's Genesis World-even if their loved ones really had been killed.
What was wrong with choosing seclusion and a peaceful life instead of seeking revenge?
If Naruto hadn't spoken up, Tsunade could indeed have reprimanded Kakashi and the others for betraying the village.
However, Kakashi and the others were already his subordinates.
How could he tolerate someone else berating his people?
"Say one more word, and I'll kill you right here!"
Naruto's words enraged Tsunade completely. Her aura erupted, making Shikamaru and the others' expressions change.
"Oh? I'm not even allowed to speak in my own country? Can you really be a good leader with that temper?"
"Damn you!"
Seething with anger, Tsunade immediately clenched her fist and charged at Naruto.
"Tsunade, stop!"
"Stay out of this, Jiraiya! I'm going to teach this brat a lesson today!"
Facing Tsunade's furious punch, Naruto didn't retreat a single step. Instead, he unleashed his Taijutsu and threw his right fist out as well.
Though Tsunade was immensely strong, Naruto was no pushover at his current level.
With his overall power bolstering him, Naruto's strength was at least equal to Tsunade's, if not greater.
Bang!
Their fists collided, and a shock wave immediately spread out
