Anko and Shizune took turns picking up food for Senju Chen, and even Kurenai Yuhi joined in at the back to watch the fun and not take it too seriously.
Tsunade just hit Senju Chen with righteous words yesterday and told him not to let Shizune down. As a result, today, it was like a Konoha beauty fair was held at home.
Tsunade was eating and holding a glass of wine. He didn't say anything, and looked back and forth between Senju Chen, Shizune, Anko and Kurenai Yuhi with a teasing look like "Oh, my brother is coming up."
Senju Chen was originally as thick-skinned as a city wall, but after being looked at by his sister, a "melon-eating crowd", for a long time, he felt a little guilty and felt the hair on his back.
Sister, the look in your eyes almost says "Will this melon stay ripe?" written on your face!
But what also surprises Senju Chen is that Shizune, Anko, and Kurenai Yuhi, these three women with completely different styles, actually get along quite harmoniously. After a meal, Yakumi didn't even get angry at all.
In fact, he didn't know that in the five years since he disappeared, Anko relied on his Anbu background and thick skin to go to Senju's mansion the most frequently. At first he came to inquire about information, but later he found that although Lady Tsunade was majestic, he was not difficult to get along with in private, and then he became bolder.
Sometimes she was afraid that she would appear out of the blue when she came alone, so she asked her best friend Kurenai Yuhi to accompany her. After this back and forth, the three women of similar ages actually developed a solid "revolutionary friendship" around the common topic of "Senju Chen".
Compared to the undercurrent here, Kakashi seems out of place.
He was used to being alone, used to the life of mission, Memorial Stone, and home. Today, first he was bombarded by Senju Chen with shocking secrets that made his world view collapse, and now he was surrounded by the chattering of a room full of women. The expression in his dead eyes was filled with "Who am I, where am I, and why am I here."
He could clearly feel that except for Tsunade, the topics and attention of the other three women on the table were almost entirely focused on Senju Chen.
Pouring wine, picking up food, joking softly... that's all meticulous attention to detail.
Kakashi was eating his meal silently, his admiration for Senju Chen in his heart reaching a new level.
'This guy... not only has unfathomable strength, but his ability to deal with such a scene is also at the Jonin level?'
Just like yesterday, Yamato and Shizune worked hard to clear away the dishes.
In the living room, five people, Senju Chen, Tsunade, Anko, Kurenai Yuhi and Kakashi, were sitting around enjoying tea.
"Chen." Anko sat cross-legged on the tatami, playing with a bamboo stick in his hand. Gate of Opening asked bluntly, "Where have you been in the past five years?"
Senju Chen had no choice but to retell yesterday's "script" again, but this time the part about the blood conflict was naturally hidden, and he only said that he was following the teacher to conduct cutting-edge research at a secret base overseas.
"Research? Five years of research, and you don't even bother to write a few more letters?" Anko snorted dissatisfied, his tone full of resentment.
Kurenai Yuhi, who was standing next to him, was holding the tea cup and took an elegant sip. With a faint smile on his lips, he lightly added, "Anko, you can't say that. Chen-kun is a busy man. Maybe there are a lot of new 'research materials' overseas in the past five years that require his attention."
As soon as these words came out, the air instantly froze.
Even Shizune, who had just cleared away the dishes and brought tea, paused in his steps, his cheeks were slightly red, and there was a trace of nervousness and vigilance in his eyes.
Kurenai Yuhi, you look dignified and generous on the outside, but you are actually a "stormtrooper" on the inside!
Good guy, a direct attack and a flanking attack, right?
Look at me...
"Lady Tsunade!" Shizune put down the tea and sat next to Tsunade. He looked directly at Senju Chen with a pair of soft eyes and said softly, "Little Chen...Anko is right. You should at least always report that you are safe. I... we are all very worried about you."
Let me go, my Sister Shizune, why did you suddenly join in?
The next post-dinner refreshment instantly turned into Senju Chen's "criticism meeting"...
Tsunade has completely entered the "audience mode". The aunt's smile on the corner of her mouth is not too big to watch the excitement, and she just grabs a bag of melon seeds and starts cracking them on the spot.
Senju Chen felt that he was not under so much pressure when facing Third Raikage.
He knew that any explanation at this moment was pale and getting darker and darker.
If you want to break the situation, you must change the topic!
"Kakashi..." As soon as Senju Chen started speaking, Kakashi stood up quickly.
"Lord Hokage, Chen, I still have a mission, so I'm going to leave first." Before Senju Chen could finish speaking, Kakashi stood up to say goodbye first, and then left this "place of right and wrong" as if running away, leaving Senju Chen, who had just opened his mouth, alone and messy in the wind.
"..."
Seeing the unkind Kakashi, not only did he not save himself, but he also fled the scene as fast as he could. Senju Chen's head was full of black lines. I told you the news that your father was alive. Is this how you, a traitor, repaid me???
Seeing that Kakashi could no longer be counted on, he had no choice but to think of another way.
"Ahem, okay, okay, it's my fault, my fault." Senju Chen raised his hands in surrender, with a perfectly apologetic smile on his face, "One day, I will personally cook and make an 'apology banquet' for you, okay?"
As he spoke, he calmly took out the scroll that changed Kakashi's life from his arms.
"Let's not talk about this for now. Sister, I have something here that I need you to take a look at."
He gently placed the scroll with the "Top Secret" seal on the table in front of Tsunade.
The living room suddenly became quiet.
Anko, Kurenai Yuhi and Shizune all looked over curiously. They all knew that Senju Chen was changing the subject, but they were still attracted by the top secret seal format of Konoha.
The smile on Tsunade's face also faded. She glanced at her brother in confusion, then reached out her hand and untied the scroll.
When she saw clearly the title at the beginning of the scroll - "Reinvestigation Report on the Failure of Mission "Konoha's White Fang" Hatake Sakumo", her brows furrowed tightly.
She continued to look down.
From the true purpose of the mission to how Konoha High Command manipulates public opinion, a hero with outstanding merits is driven to a dead end step by step...
The contents of the report are tearful every word and heartbreaking every sentence!
Tsunade's breathing began to become rapid.
The air in the living room seemed to have been drained out, making it so oppressive that people could not breathe.
The joints of her hand holding the scroll turned white due to excessive exertion. A terrifying Chakra wave began to escape from her body uncontrollably, making the surrounding air thicker.
The curiosity on the faces of Anko and Kurenai Yuhi has long since disappeared, replaced by solemn expressions. Although they could not see the content, they knew that something big was going on just by feeling the murderous aura emanating from Tsunade!
When Tsunade's eyes fell on the cold conclusion at the end of the report - [... it is recommended to guide the villagers' emotions], and the bright red "Shimura Danzō" signature below.
Tsunade stood up suddenly, his chest heaving violently, and his amber eyes were burning with unprecedented rage!
She stared at the scroll in her hand, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth:
"Danzo...Shimura Danzō!!!"
"Good! What a 'root'! What a Konoha... elder!!"
Tsunade slammed his palm on the table!
"Boom--!!!"
A loud bang!
The extremely hard table made of precious Land of Fire ironwood, under her angry blow containing Monstrous Strength, could not even utter a cry, but with a "bang", it instantly fell apart and turned into sawdust on the ground!
"Ah!"
Shizune, Anko and Kurenai Yuhi were all frightened by this sudden scene, and they all exclaimed.
