"Tsunade-sama, Tsunade-sama!"

Shizune ran along the wooden corridor of the hotel, opening the door to the room and calling out to Tsunade who was sleeping in the room.

"Something is going wrong, Tsunade-sama!"

He ignored Tsunade who was sleeping and shook her directly from her sleep.

"What? It's Shizune. It's noisy here early in the morning. Can't you just let me sleep for a while?"

Tsunade rubbed her eyes and glanced at the sun that had just risen outside the window, with a slightly dissatisfied look on her face.

"Now is not the time to talk about such things, is it?"

"What's wrong? I just kept saying something bad...is the end of the world coming?"

Tsunade looked like she hadn't woken up yet, and was about to lie down and take a nap.

"Please be serious, Tsunade-sama, something big has happened in the village!"

Shizune looked serious and held Tsunade's arm to prevent her from lying down.

Tsunade frowned: "I told you..."

Seeing Shizune's extremely serious face, it seemed like she wasn't joking.

Tsunade woke up a little and did not directly ask Shizune what happened. Instead, she stood up and walked out of the room.

"Tsunade-sama, what are you doing?"

"Wait for me here, I'll go out and buy a newspaper."

"Newspaper? At this time..."

Before Shizune could speak, Tsunade's figure had disappeared from the corridor outside.

Shizune had no choice but to sigh helplessly, and waited quietly in the room for Tsunade to come back from buying newspapers.

Shizune was not kept waiting for long. About a few minutes later, Tsunade came in from outside holding a newspaper.

As soon as she entered the room, she walked towards the cabinet in the corner, opened the drawer, and took out a piece of paper.

"Is this the lottery ticket Tsunade-sama bought a while ago? What are you looking at?"

Shizune looked puzzled.

"To me, this is an artifact that predicts good and bad luck."

Tsunade responded to Shizune with a solemn expression.

Then she picked up the lottery ticket and compared it with the winning numbers published in the newspaper, and her body stiffened.

"All? All hits!?"

Shizune's eyes widened.

Seeing that the lottery numbers were exactly the same as the winning numbers published in the newspaper, it was the first time she had seen Tsunade win such a big reward after following Tsunade for so long.

Because Tsunade usually never encounters the word "winner" by chance.

"I probably know what level of bad news you mean by 'bad news'."

Tsunade smiled bitterly.

To her, winning the lottery means something bad will happen.

Once the winning amount is bigger, it means things are getting worse.

"The winning amount is worth 150 million taels. It's really a disaster."

Tsunade sighed.

"Tsunade-sama..."

Tsunade waved her hand and said:

"Forget it, no matter how bad things are, it can't get much worse. Tell me, what happened in the village?"

Tsunade was mentally prepared for something bad to happen in the village.

However, she couldn't think of anything bad happening in the village.

It's impossible for Kumogakure to break through the eastern defense line of the Fire Country and directly invade Konoha headquarters, right?

"Lord Orochimaru has defected."

Shizune took a deep breath and told Tsunade the news of Orochimaru's defection.

This news has already spread in major countries, but they are on vacation now and are living in small and remote countries, so they got the news a little later.

After Shizune finished speaking, she looked at Tsunade worriedly.

After all, Orochimaru has been Tsunade's friend since she was a child, and she has been a companion through life and death... The impact this incident had on Tsunade can be imagined.

Sure enough, after hearing the news, Tsunade's mind was buzzing and she went blank.

"You, what did you say? Orochimaru...he defected from the village? Are you kidding..."

It's not that Tsunade doesn't believe it, but this kind of thing really makes her unbelievable.

Suddenly, my heart felt like it was being torn apart, and it hurt so much.

This feeling of betrayal reminded her of the betrayal five or six years ago.

The student he had always trusted suddenly betrayed the village.

Now Orochimaru has also embarked on this path... which makes Tsunade want to personally question Orochimaru why he did this.

But her rationality told her that there must be some reason behind this.

A guy like Orochimaru couldn't betray the village for no reason, there must be some hidden agenda.

"It's absolutely true, Tsunade-sama. Orochimaru-sama did human experiments on ninjas from the same village, killing many innocent people. After the incident was exposed, he ran away from the village. Now he is as dangerous as Shiraishi-senpai."

An incomparable S-class defector ninja."

Shizune also sighed with a complicated expression.

"Damn it! What on earth is that bastard Orochimaru doing?"

Tsunade punched the ground without hesitation.

With a click, the ground of the entire hotel began to shake, and an extremely exaggerated crack extended toward the wall of the courtyard. It did not stop extending until the wall was neatly divided into two halves.

Shizune swallowed her saliva. If a fist with such force hit a human body, she would be punched to death.

"Where's Sarutobi-sensei? Why did he let Orochimaru leave the village?"

Tsunade's eyes were filled with anger at this moment.

"Hokage-sama... I heard that he was injured when he intercepted Orochimaru-sama."

"That old thing!"

Tsunade yelled angrily, and Shizune was frightened by Tsunade's angry expression.

This was the first time she had seen Tsunade so angry.

When Shiraishi betrayed Konoha, he wasn't so angry.

"Well, Tsunade-sama..."

Shizune wanted to persuade Tsunade to calm down, but found that she didn't know how to persuade Tsunade.

"If he wanted to stop Orochimaru, how could Orochimaru injure him and escape from the village? What was going on in his mind?"

Regardless of the reason for Orochimaru's defection, no matter how you look at human experimentation, it doesn't seem like Orochimaru's cautious style.

What made Tsunade most angry was Orochimaru's plan to betray Konoha and the indecision of his teacher Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Doesn't he know what a terrible disaster Orochimaru will cause Konoha to suffer once he escapes from the Land of Fire?

Orochimaru is different from Shiraishi, he is the real high-level leader of Konoha.

His knowledge, technology, and intelligence will bring huge losses to Konoha.

He was injured by Orochimaru and was unable to stop him... It looked like he was shirking responsibility. He was the Hokage of Konoha.

Faced with such a serious matter as defection, how can one abandon public service for personal reasons?

Shizune didn't dare to say a word at the side. Her body was shaking under Tsunade's anger.

What a terrifying murderous aura!

At this moment, Shizune seemed to see a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood before her eyes.

After all, he is a Sannin. Even if he is careless at ordinary times, it is definitely very scary when he is serious.

Especially in this angry situation.

"Let's go! Shizune!"

"Go? Where are you going, Tsunade-sama?"

"Whatever, as long as it's not the Fire Country."
