Kurenai Yuhi handed the recent records to Uchiha Kazama, which required Kazama's signature.
At the same time, Kurenai Yuhi leaned close to Uchiha Kazama's ear.
"Lady Tsunade and you..."
As a woman, Kurenai Yuhi was still quite sensitive to this aspect.
During the meeting, the look Tsunade gave Uchiha Kazama was not that kind of innocent look at all.
How to put it, Kurenai Yuhi had been intimate with Uchiha Kazama after all, so she still wanted to find out.
"I..."
"Kurenai Yuhi, come with me."
Just as Uchiha Kazama was about to say something, Tsunade's voice came from the doorway.
Hearing that voice, Kurenai Yuhi's entire body stiffened.
She turned around somewhat blankly and looked at Tsunade.
"Go ahead."
"Tsunade won't do anything to you."
Uchiha Kazama gently patted Kurenai Yuhi's back and spoke leisurely.
Although Kurenai Yuhi was somewhat worried, she still nodded and left this place.
Seeing the two women leave, Kazama felt a bit of confusion.
Did Tsunade already figure out his relationship with Kurenai Yuhi just like that?
How would she handle it?
However, judging by Tsunade's personality.
If she really wanted to solve this problem violently, she probably wouldn't call Kurenai Yuhi away, but would directly beat up Uchiha Kazama.
Since she called her away, though...
Meanwhile, the person feeling the most agonizing wasn't Uchiha Kazama, nor was it Kurenai Yuhi.
Rather, it was Hyuga Hiashi, who was still waiting in the Conference Room for Uchiha Kazama to speak.
Earlier when Uchiha Kazama wiped out the Konoha High Command, he hadn't worn an expression like this.
Right now, that deeply contemplative look on his face.
Was he thinking about how to deal with the Hyuga Clan!?
Thinking of this, Hyuga Hiashi's heartbeat accelerated.
"Lord Hokage, I..."
Hyuga Hiashi simply couldn't endure it anymore.
He took the initiative to speak up and break this heavy atmosphere.
"Huh?"
"Oh right, Department Head Hyuga Hiashi, you're still here..."
"That elder in your clan, whatever his name was, attacked me at the Daimyo Palace and has already been slain by me."
"I hope that henceforth, the shinobi within the Hyuga Clan will no longer do such things."
"So..."
Uchiha Kazama spoke calmly.
"Lord Hokage, I understand."
"I will manage my clansmen well."
"I will not let similar things happen ever again."
Hyuga Hiashi was still somewhat worried.
After all, given the things Uchiha Kazama mentioned, if it were any other Kage, doing something to their family would be considered normal.
Let alone Uchiha Kazama, who liked to wipe out clans at the drop of a hat.
"Then go back and work hard."
"There is still quite a bit of work in the Military Police Force."
After saying that, Uchiha Kazama turned around and left right then and there.
Soon, Uchiha Kazama returned to the Hokage's Office.
He was the Hokage after all, and still needed to handle some village matters.
Even though right now, most things were being handled by Shikaku and Jiraiya, still...
"You?!"
Stepping into the Hokage's Office, he immediately saw Tsunade and Kurenai Yuhi.
"Go get some rest."
"We'll handle the village's affairs for the time being."
"As for the Medical Department matters, I've asked Shizune to start planning them, and I'll go over tomorrow."
Seeing Uchiha Kazama enter, Tsunade spoke calmly.
It was as if nothing at all had happened.
Uchiha Kazama looked toward Shizune.
Yet Shizune's expression was completely normal at the moment as well.
The intense tension from earlier was entirely gone now too...
"Oh..."
Kazama nodded, then headed over to the lounge inside the Hokage's Office and lay down.
Something about this was rather strange...
Ichiraku Ramen.
"Boss, I'll take a bowl of signature ramen."
A young girl sat before the counter and ordered a bowl of noodles.
"Coming right up!"
"Just a moment."
Teuchi's voice drifted over.
Soon, Teuchi carried a bowl of noodles over and set it on the table.
"Is this your first time eating ramen at my place?"
"Are you a newly minted shinobi of the village?"
Teuchi looked at the young girl before him with a hint of curiosity.
"Yeah."
Konan was momentarily stunned.
She nodded anyway, however.
This was clearly an ordinary person without a single trace of chakra fluctuations, yet he could actually tell that she was here for the first time.
Could it be that this boss remembered every single person who came in?!
"That's wonderful."
"After becoming a shinobi, make sure to protect the village well!"
"It's only with the protection of shinobi lords that ordinary folks like us can live so peacefully here in Konoha."
"This bowl of ramen is my treat."
"Come patronize my little shop again next time after you earn your reward from completing a mission."
Teuchi spoke with a smile.
"Ah!?"
"Thank you..."
Hearing Teuchi's words, Konan froze for a second.
She instinctively uttered a thank-you, then began eating the noodles.
"Delicious..."
Having just taken her first bite, Konan could not help letting the word slip out.
"Glad you like it."
"You're welcome to come back anytime."
With that, Teuchi turned back to handling his ingredients.
A customer's simple compliment was his absolute favorite thing to hear...
After finishing the noodles, Konan still left behind the money.
She then stood up and left Ichiraku Ramen.
After walking all around the village,
it was already late in the night.
How could a village that had just undergone a political upheaval be so utterly harmonious?
The ordinary people in the village were the ones who best reflected a village's appearance.
Yet...
Regardless of whether they were passersby or shopkeepers.
It seemed they had not been affected by this change at all.
In fact, almost all of them wore smiles on their faces.
Just what kind of method had this Uchiha Kazama used to accomplish such a thing?
Wasn't he just a madman?
A madman... could also manage a village?!
Carrying her doubts, Konan walked into a dim alley.
"Paper God Technique: Manipulation!"
As Konan raised her fingers, a small paper doll appeared at her fingertips.
This place was very close to the Hokage Building.
After releasing the small paper doll, Konan directly concealed all the chakra throughout her entire body.
This was a special secret technique.
As long as this ninjutsu was released, she did not need any chakra of her own to sustain it and could still maintain a connection with the small paper doll.
In this way, she could prevent any other Sensor Type Shinobi from discovering her location.
It was also Konan's exclusive reconnaissance ninjutsu.
Very quickly, the small paper doll had already landed outside the window of the Hokage's Office.
"No one?!"
In the small paper doll's field of vision, no figure was discovered at all.
That wasn't right, at an hour like this, the Hokage had already gone back to rest?
Just as Konan was feeling puzzled, a series of decadent pants and gasps were transmitted into the small paper doll's perception.
"What is this!?"
Konan directed the paper doll to slowly approach the source of the sound.
When the small paper doll arrived, a shocking scene was imprinted into Konan's perception.
"This place is the Hokage's Office... and they..."
"There are even three people?!"
Such a visual impact almost caused Konan to leak her chakra...
