This was a private occasion, a normal family dinner.
It's still the same people, Hitomi is collecting the dishes and chopsticks.
Seeing Tsunade's distracted look, Miki asked, everything was as normal as before.
Tsunade took a deep breath and said, "It's nothing."
Asking questions knowingly.
"Is it trouble at work?" Mei Ji continued to ask, looking unconcerned.
"Almost." Tsunade looked at Miki and said.
"If it's really difficult, you might as well give up temporarily, which is a wise choice." Looking at Tsunade intentionally or unintentionally, there was something in Miki's words.
I advise you to give up, idiot.
"If the problem is not solved, just giving up will have no effect." Tsunade said.
"Really?" Mei Ji said, "Then come on, I can't help you with work issues."
"As long as you don't hinder me, I'll be grateful." Tsunade smiled.
"It sounds like I've been messing up." Mei Ji smiled and said, "Who will hinder your work?"
Open your eyes and tell lies.
Tsunade opened her mouth and said, "Then it'll be fine."
Mei Ji nodded and said, "It's best to be fine."
The evening news was broadcast on the TV. Jiri looked around at the subtle atmosphere, squinting slightly and thinking thoughtfully. Hitomi quickly cleared the table and hummed happily.
"The latest news will be broadcast below."
"The fire at the Animal Breeding Center at about 9 o'clock last night has the latest progress."
"According to the investigation by the Guard Fire Brigade, it was an accidental fire accident."
"An unknown explosion caused by a gas leak."
The TV screen flickered, and fluorescent light shone on their faces, flickering on and off.
"Miki." Tsunade said softly.
"Huh?" Meiji responded softly.
"Do you remember what you said before?"
"I don't remember." Mei Ji said, "First of all, you have to point out which sentence it is."
"Konoha is everyone's Konoha." Tsunade said.
"That's right." Meiji said, "Is there any problem?"
After a moment of silence, Tsunade said: "It's nothing, I just remembered the past for a moment."
"It's really sentimental." Mei Ji said, stood up and said, "Is there anyone who wants to go for a walk?"
"Me, me, me!" After hearing this, Hitomi, who was in the kitchen, immediately leaned out and said.
Miki looked at Tsunade.
Tsunade shook her head and declined Miki's invitation.
"I'm tired from work."
"Then you go to bed early."
"Um."
For the next few days, everything was business as usual.
It seems to have been given up for now.
But since childhood, Tsunade has never been a person who gives up easily unless she encounters an extremely serious blow.
"An order personally signed by the fourth generation, nationwide laboratory safety inspection and rectification."
The leading ninja showed the Hokage's scroll order book in front of the person in charge of the laboratory.
After being stunned for a moment, the pharmacist Nonoyu said generously: "Welcome to check, I will fully cooperate."
"This is best." Ninja said: "The lessons from the laboratory fire in the past few days have made His Highness particularly worried. He has decided to carry out safety hazard inspections in all laboratories. If there is any offense, please forgive me."
"You're welcome." Nonoyu said.
The inspection work was carried out normally. I was busy with this matter all day long, looking at everything clean inside and outside.
"I will make it clear to His Highness that you are doing a good job and there is nothing unusual about it."
“If there is any problem, we will come back.”
"This is all my responsibility." Nonoyu pushed up the round glasses on the bridge of his nose.
It's not that he has a problem with his eyesight, but that he deliberately dressed up in order to look mature and calm his subordinates.
Without too much politeness, the inspection personnel left.
Watching his leaving back, his eyes flashed deeply under the lenses.
Turn around and return to the laboratory.
He ordered his staff to take a break for the time being and began to close the laboratory.
Anyway, let’s wait until this storm has passed.
As the operation of the laboratory stopped, the lights were turned off, and I walked in the blue corridor. Then I stopped, pressed my fingerprint to verify my identity, and the hidden door of the living body in front of me opened.
Nonoyu walked into the hidden operating room and immediately opened the living body storage chamber.
Accompanied by the sound of muscle squirming, the slits opened one after another, sliding to reveal the experimental animals stored inside.
"very good."
"The number is correct."
"So."
Raising his hand and sliding it in front of him, Nonoyu performed the next operation.
Destroyed on site.
The living storage chamber will be filled with digestive juice, leaving no trace behind.
"Don't you think it's too wasteful?" At this time, a female voice sounded in my ears.
Nonoyu said in shock: "Ms. Chongji!" Then he explained: "I'm afraid of what might happen."
"There is no need to feel guilty." Mei Ji said: "A crime that is not discovered is not a crime. Besides, in recent times, it has not been easy to get these experimental animals."
"The world is getting better and better, and fewer people are taking desperate risks. Nowadays, with the mortality rate falling off a cliff, it's hard to get rid of even corpses, let alone living people."
"Then me." Nonoyu said.
"Business as usual, let the laboratory operate normally." Mei Ji said: "Closing the laboratory at this time would seem problematic."
"Ha! I understand!"
This kid, Nonoyu, has never been engaged in espionage-related work. He has been staying in a safe and secure laboratory, and he is a bit stupid.
People will indeed change as the environment changes.
In the next two months, laboratory inspections were carried out repeatedly.
However, there are no big problems, but there are some small ones.
Frowning, Tsunade looked at the work report in her hand.
For example, safety issues such as fire protection have been ordered to be rectified.
The biggest problems are nothing more than funding corruption, academic fraud, and illegal transactions in laboratories.
The contents of the transaction include male sperm, female eggs, etc., as well as illegal experimental supplies purchased from illegal channels.
The relevant person in charge was captured for investigation, confessed, and uncovered a secret illegal transaction chain.
But what Tsunade wanted to see, she didn't see it.
Apart from her name, Meiji has nothing to do with these things.
The laboratories under Miki's name are all affiliated with Konoha officials and receive research funds from Konoha to maintain their normal operations.
It is not an organization funded by Mei Ji privately.
So the source is pointed out comically.
"Myself?"
Tsunade squeezed the report in her hand.
Some Konoha departments also collaborated and played a disgraceful role.
Under the crazy expansion in the early days, most research institutions were bloated and both good and bad were accepted.
The personal quality of some researchers is really worrying.
Some people who are not ninjas are not subject to strict ninja regulations compared to ninjas, so they are particularly courageous and temptations are everywhere.
Meiji still had time to deal with one or two cases. When there were more cases, it was not that it was too troublesome, but that it was not time.
Nowadays, Miji does not need a large and bloated research institution team in order to achieve the rapid and comprehensive development of Konoha.
The time has come when the birds are gone and the dogs are cooked.
Many things have been devolved to the private sector, and success or failure is determined by the free market.
Therefore, with the help of Tsunade's hands, a group of guys with not very honest hands were wiped out.
"She did it on purpose."
Tsunade noticed this.
It could have been done very cleanly, but some dirty things were exposed to her.
