Tsunade sat in the Hokage's office, rubbing her forehead.
Shizune obediently brought a cup of tea and quietly retreated behind Tsunade.
Ever since Tsunade returned to Konoha Village, she hasn't smiled cheerfully again.
Sure enough, Tsunade at the gambling table shouldn't have so many worries.
The door was opened, and an old man in a hat stood up. When he saw Tsunade smiling, he put his hands behind his back and strolled to the Hokage's seat.
"Hokage-sama." Tsunade stood up quickly.
The old man waved his hand, "There are only two of us here... I want to hear you call me teacher."
Tsunade stared at the old man, took a deep breath, and said, "Sarutobi-sensei."
Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes and smiled, "How's it going? It's been a month since you came back. Are you still familiar with this place?"
"Compared to before I left, many things have not changed, but many things have changed." Tsunade said.
"Talk about it."
"The scenery and objects have not changed, but the people have changed. By the way, there is Minato's face on the Hokage Yanyan." Tsunade said absentmindedly.
"He is a good boy, very enthusiastic, and he is the same as Hokage. Originally, Konoha Village should have become more vibrant because of him." Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a smile.
"Jiraiya also likes this child very much." Tsunade said regretfully, but her eyes showed sadness.
Sarutobi's mouth opened slightly, but some words remained unsaid.
The person who was most saddened by Minato's death was probably Jiraiya.
"That incident...has no result since then?" Tsunade asked, "If such a tragedy occurs within Konoha Village, someone should be responsible, right?"
"The police force is run by the Uchiha clan. If something like this happens, the Uchiha clan will definitely not be held responsible," Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a deep voice.
"Is this what you mean?" Tsunade frowned slightly.
"This is what everyone means." Sarutobi Hiruzen said.
Tsunade crossed her fingers, her palms already sweating.
If it was just Sarutobi Hiruzen who had an aversion to the Uchiha clan, she could adjust it. But if the higher-ups in Konoha had this attitude, then the matter would probably be too complicated, and she wasn't sure whether she could do it on her own.
Solve this crisis.
"Can you be more specific? This 'everyone' means all the top brass of Konoha, including you, or some other group of people." Tsunade said.
"Is this important?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked.
Tsunade said nothing.
"You came back this time because of the Uchiha clan?" Sarutobi asked again.
Tsunade closed her eyes, calmed down for a long time, and then said: "The reason why I came back is because I met Kakashi. He helped me, and at the same time, he also told me something. Uchiha Shisui, die
Already."
"yes."
"he……"
"We found his body in the Nanga River, and his eyes were gouged out." Sarutobi Hiruzen said with emotion in his heart.
Uchiha Shisui is a ninja that he is very optimistic about. In terms of strength and inner structure, Shisui has surpassed most Konoha ninjas.
Such a person should have represented the future of Konoha Village, but he died in the Nanga River.
If the conflict between the top management of Konoha and the Uchiha clan was completely triggered by the "Kyuubi Incident", then the death of Uchiha Shisui definitely added another fire to the already tense atmosphere.
For the Uchiha clan, Shisui is almost the leader of the younger generation, a person admired by many young ninjas, and a capable general of the Uchiha clan.
The death of Shisui significantly damaged the Uchiha clan's strength, and Sarutobi Hiruzen also regretted the lack of a bridge to communicate with the Uchiha clan.
So far, it is difficult for him to find someone in the Uchiha clan who is as trustworthy as Shisui.
Tsunade was silent.
A young master of the Uchiha clan had his Sharingan dug out when he died. This... is so sad.
"How did he die?" Tsunade asked.
"From the known information, it seems that it is suicide." Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at Tsunade, "For me, it would be best if I could resolve the conflict with the Uchiha clan... but it is difficult."
Tsunade took a breath, it seemed that Sarutobi Hiruzen should be sandwiched between the two.
"The Uchiha clan is very important to Konoha Village. In the recent war, the Uchiha clan contributed a lot, not only Uchiha Shisui, but also other Uchiha clan members who have died. They fought for Konoha Village.
A lot of blood was shed. If the Uchiha clan is labeled as a 'traitor'...how should the dead ninjas of the Uchiha clan feel?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled, "I just know what you are thinking. This matter may be far more complicated than you imagine."
Tsunade put the teacup on the table, "I'll take my leave now."
"If there is anything you need me to do, just ask." Sarutobi Hiruzen said.
Tsunade nodded, glanced at the photos of past Hokages hanging on the wall, and then opened the door and left the Hokage's office. Shizune followed closely, bowed deeply to the Third Hokage, and then closed the door.
Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at the door, but his expression was not relaxed.
The Uchiha clan's affairs cannot be solved by just Tsunade, but her sudden return has indeed added some uncertain factors to the whole incident. It's just hard to say how much impact this uncertainty will have on the Uchiha clan.
.
After all, as time goes by, the Uchiha clan's position in Konoha Village becomes more and more embarrassing, and the conflicts between the two parties become deeper and deeper.
"Tsunade-sama...wait for me..." Just as Shizune closed the door, Tsunade had already gone down the stairs, and she quickly chased after her.
Tsunade didn't respond, but she kept thinking about the Uchiha clan in her mind.
From the beginning of the establishment of the village, the Uchiha clan has been somewhat incompatible with the Leaf Village. When Senju Tobirama was the Hokage, he handed over the police force to the Uchiha clan. It seemed to be a reuse, but in fact it was not a precaution. Otherwise, Uchiha
How come no one from the Wave clan has entered the upper echelons of Konoha Village?
The conflicts between the two sides gradually accumulated and reached their peak in the "Kyuubi Incident". Moreover, the Uchiha clan did have reason to be suspected - the Kyuubi suddenly went berserk. Is there really no one who was obstructing it?
Tsunade's thoughts became disordered, and she suddenly thought of Yusuke Terauchi.
If he didn't mention the Uchiha clan, she might not come back.
Terauchi Yusuke's suggestion is to find someone trustworthy among the Uchiha clan... But after Uchiha Shisui's death, who else is trustworthy?
After leaving the Hokage Building, a ninja about ten years old passed by her. When he noticed her, he stopped and bowed, which was very polite.
"What's your name?" Tsunade asked curiously.
"Hello, my name is Uchiha Itachi." The young man looked calm.
Uchiha Itachi...the child of the Uchiha family.
Tsunade recited the name silently and glanced at the boy again. The boy had disappeared into the crowd.
