Chapter 33 The Biggest Crisis Since Taking Office
Chapter 33 The Biggest Crisis Since Taking Office
Although the Konoha Police Force was established during the Second Hokage's reign, this police force building was constructed when he took office.
Over the years, apart from the day the building was completed when the Third Hokage sent two trusted ANBU members to congratulate him, no other high-ranking Konoha officials have ever visited his office.
But now.
The eldest princess of the Senju clan.
The granddaughter of the First Hokage.
The student of the Third Hokage.
He could be considered the most upright and righteous person in the entire Hidden Leaf Village, yet he suddenly appeared here.
What exactly is going on?
Fugaku Uchiha was completely unable to comprehend the current situation.
Tsunade, who was looking at her cards, heard the sound and glanced over with her beautiful eyes.
Upon seeing that the visitor was Uchiha Fugaku, she slightly raised her eyebrows and continued to look down at the cards in her hand.
"What, you're not welcoming me?"
Tsunade's voice wasn't loud, but it reached Fugaku Uchiha's ears very clearly, making his already somewhat awkward smile appear even more stiff.
"How could that be?" After a two-second pause, Fugaku Uchiha forced a smile and said, "The gates of the security force are always open to Lady Tsunade..."
"Oh?" Tsunade interrupted him, her voice slightly nasal. "But you don't seem very happy?"
"This..." Fugaku Uchiha opened his mouth, but the words he had finally managed to organize were stuck again.
Fugaku Uchiha was still completely baffled as to why Tsunade had suddenly come to the police force.
But at least one thing is very clear to him.
That is, this second-generation firefighter is not in a good mood.
Who on earth provoked her?
Who would dare to provoke her?
Fugaku Uchiha was lost in thought when he felt a slight itch on his head.
But despite the confusion, the search for answers must continue.
"We are certainly delighted that Lady Tsunade has graced our guard unit with her presence..."
Fugaku Uchiha carefully considered each word in his mind before speaking slowly, making sure there were no problems.
Unfortunately, even so, he still couldn't finish his sentence.
"It exploded!"
Snapped!
With a thud, Tsunade slammed all the cards onto the table, extended her hand to the black-clad girl sitting opposite her, and beckoned with her finger: "Hand over the money!"
"But Lady Tsunade..."
Shizune, her face contorted in a grimace, pulled her empty wallet from her pocket: "I'm the one who won..."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Tsunade snatched the wallet that Shizune was clutching tightly.
Tsunade unzipped her jacket and started counting her bills, declaring confidently, "I never said the person who explodes loses. Whoever surpasses the points first wins!"
"Waaaaah..." Shizune cried, hugging her arms and sobbing as she embraced the pink pet pig in her arms.
"Tuntun, we're going hunting again tomorrow..."
Having finally graduated from the ninja academy, I thought that with the monthly stipend, I would never have to go out hunting and fishing again.
As a result, not a single banknote in her wallet belonged to her!
Having a guardian like Tsunade-sama is truly despairing...
"What's there to be afraid of?" Tsunade rolled her eyes and said generously, "I'll take you guys out for something delicious tomorrow!"
"Then forget it." Shizune muttered, head down, "Neither Tonton nor I are shameless enough to dine and dash..."
After she finished speaking, the pink pig in her arms also nuzzled and grunted, clearly agreeing with its owner.
"hehe!"
Tsunade sneered and glared at Shizune: "Say one more word, and I'll take you guys out for roast suckling pig tomorrow!"
The man and the pig on the other side instantly fell silent, not daring to utter a single word.
Fugaku Uchiha: "..."
He stood there, looking at the trembling Shizune and Tonton, then at the smug Tsunade, and a bizarre feeling inexplicably arose in his mind.
He felt like he was the guest.
The blonde beauty sitting on the sofa is actually the owner of the office.
But this is his office!
What are you doing here at the medicine shop?
Fugaku Uchiha roared inwardly.
As if hearing his thoughts, Tsunade looked up at him.
Fugaku Uchiha, who dared not speak out against his anger, immediately forced a comical smile.
Not interesting.
Tsunade curled her lip in boredom, tossed her wallet back into Shizune's arms, crossed her arms, leaned back on the sofa, and said lazily:
I came here to find someone.
Looking for someone?
Fugaku Uchiha frowned subconsciously, silently pondering the meaning of those two words in his mind.
First of all, the fact that Tsunade came to him specifically to find someone means one thing:
This Princess Senju is looking for members of her Uchiha clan.
Otherwise, Tsunade could have just gone straight to the Hokage Building and done it.
When the ninjas at the Hokage Building heard that Tsunade needed help, they had no choice but to bow and scrape and work overtime until they found the solution for her.
Secondly, Tsunade didn't even know the other person's name.
Otherwise, Tsunade wouldn't have needed to come all the way here; she could have just gone to the clan's territory and summoned him.
But... that's strange.
Why would Tsunade, one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha, want to find an Uchiha whose name she doesn't even know?
And then there's the factor of Tsunade being in a bad mood...
Fugaku Uchiha's brows furrowed almost together; he had a rough idea of what had happened.
There must have been some foolish clansmen who dared to defy Tsunade outside the clan's territory.
And considering Tsunade's drinking and gambling addiction over the past few years...
Fugaku Uchiha understood; he understood completely.
When this foolish clansman got drunk, he ran into Tsunade, who was also drinking at the izakaya, and the two got into an argument...
Moreover, this clansman probably said something too offensive, to the point that Tsunade disregarded the consequences and insisted on dragging him out of the clan's territory...
Thinking of this, Fugaku Uchiha couldn't help but take a deep breath, his chest heaving.
The radical faction within the clan had been quite restless lately, and he, as the clan leader, had been struggling to maintain the relationship between the village and the Uchiha clan.
As a result, this clansmen suddenly did him a big one.
Fugaku Uchiha felt like his head was about to explode; this was probably the biggest crisis he had faced since becoming the clan leader!
"Hey, what are you muttering about over there?"
Tsunade glared at Fugaku Uchiha, who was muttering to himself, and slammed her pale knuckles on the table. "Are you going to help me find that person or not?"
Fugaku Uchiha pursed his lips; Tsunade's impatient expression made him even more uneasy.
Ever since the elder representing the hawks, Uchiha Setsuna, was released from prison, the hawks have been secretly plotting something.
Although he didn't know what they were up to, Fugaku Uchiha knew that if this wasn't handled well, the hawks would probably explode!
By this point, Fugaku Uchiha had a general plan in mind.
Find the clansman who offended Tsunade as soon as possible, and then personally bring him to Tsunade to apologize.
This way, the impact can be minimized.
Fugaku Uchiha straightened up, bowed to Tsunade with a serious expression, and said:
"Lady Tsunade, please rest assured, I will definitely drag him out of the clan's territory!"
