He was in Konoha, and his domineering aura was overflowing.

"The base's defense was entirely the responsibility of your subordinates; I was only in charge of research. But it seems your subordinates haven't done a good job with the defense. My recently completed research and the research data stored in this base have all been destroyed. You need to give me a reasonable explanation and compensation for this."

"You! Hmph!" Danzo glared angrily, snorted coldly, and said nothing more.

After all, strictly speaking, he was in the wrong in this matter.

He was so frustrated!

In other words, he looked away in frustration and didn't see the smile that appeared in Orochimaru's eyes.

To be honest, he somewhat understood how Fifty Strings Song felt when it first faced him.

Whether it's pleasant or unpleasant to point fingers at others from a superior position is another matter, but he's quite happy to see Danzo suffer.

Just then.

An ANBU member approached Danzo and said, "Lord Danzo, the Hokage requests your presence at the Hokage Building."

Danzo's face turned ashen, and he coldly snorted, "I understand."

Chapter 57 Rolling Eyes

Konoha spent a night filled with the howling of the wind and the cries of cranes.

When the time came, they only cared about killing and didn't care about burying.

Anyway, Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi are best buddies, so this incident just means that Hiruzen Sarutobi is keeping a slightly stricter eye on Danzo.

As for how painful this so-called "little bit" was for Danzo, that was not something Ichigen needed to consider.

He was only concerned about whether the control was too lenient, which was not in line with Danzo's identity.

Isogen was happily drinking warm milk, his feet dangling in the air.

There was no way around it; although he slapped the Jonin Uchiha, captured the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, verbally greeted Orochimaru, and precisely destroyed the Root base.

None of this changes the fact that he is just a child.

Hmm, let's go back and find a few more nobles to give some sword music, then have Orochimaru investigate Danzo's Sharingan hoarding, and find some Uchiha to stockpile some high-quality explosive tags, so we can send Danzo away in one go.

Wouldn't it be too easy for him to get rid of them all at once?

Perhaps we should find an opportunity to breed him. After all, Danzo's genes must be quite good, since he was valued and taken in as a disciple by Tobirama Senju. The resulting ninja dogs might be able to form a Paw Patrol.

Breakfast time at the Senju House is peaceful.

Mito Uzumaki, who gets up early for the elderly, looks at the drowsy, disheveled Kushina Uzumaki and the cheerful Yuka Igogami sitting next to her with a kind expression.

"Eat more to replenish your energy and you'll have plenty of vitality."

Meanwhile, inside the sealed space, the nine-tailed fox, wrapped up like a rice dumpling, grinned with its teeth bared.

"Mito Uzumaki, you've seen how twisted this kid is, and you still dare to encourage him? Aren't you afraid he'll tear this village apart one day?"

He also witnessed part of the process from Mizuto's perspective.

The violent explosion that shook the leaves could be felt by anyone who wasn't in a vegetative state.

No, you're ignoring such a dangerous little devil, but you're taking care of a fox like me who's dozing off in the deep mountains and forests?

Even if I complain to the Six Paths Old Man, I'm in the right, okay?

Mito Uzumaki calmly took a sip of matcha.

Yes, drinking matcha first thing in the morning is a wonderful thing.

The Nine-Tailed Fox's Roar?

Well, foxes are canines after all, so it's understandable that they can be a little mischievous sometimes.

"Oh~~ What's good to eat?" Tsunade, who got up later than a child, walked over completely relaxed.

Kushina rolled her eyes at Tsunade, who looked as relaxed as a homeless man.

Now, Tsunade's mature, composed, and mature image has completely collapsed in front of children.

"A glass of hot milk."

Under Kushina's incredulous gaze, Isogen handed Tsunade a cup of hot milk.

Mito Uzumaki glanced at it.

Taking the milk, Tsunade took a big gulp and patted his full chest with satisfaction.

"Phew, that kid's pretty sensible, I approve of you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she instantly snapped out of it and chuckled, "So, any thoughts about going out today?"

"Ahem, time to eat."

Mito Uzumaki coughed lightly, issuing a warning.

Tsunade shrank her neck and obediently picked up a piece of tamagoyaki and put it in her mouth.

Silently, she rubbed her forehead.

Lady Tsunade, even I can see through your thoughts.

Is that because you care about others?

You're just after other people's money, wanting them to help you make money. You're despicable!

Just then, Tsunade made a questioning sound, picked up another piece of tamagoyaki, and put it in her mouth.

Chew, chew, chew.

"This tamagoyaki has no flavor."

Kushina blinked and subconsciously said, "No way, I just ate one."

Tsunade was suspicious; it just didn't taste like anything.

Suddenly, she realized what was happening and stared at the half-empty milk.

Her intuition told her...

"Taste is the biggest enemy of weight loss, you're welcome," said Ishizaki, drinking milk in a peaceful tone.

Gangshou suddenly realized, his eyes widened, and anger surged.

"You wicked little brat!"

Woohoo!

Golden lock binds hands.

Mito Uzumaki calmly said, "You're such a grown-up, why are you arguing with a child? Go and catch up on the schoolwork you've missed. Mute."

"To!"

"Keep an eye on her, and tell me if she dares to run away."

"Yes!"

Jingyin was overjoyed.

She had been struggling with this for a long time.

What normal person would take a little girl who can't even get into a ninja academy to a smoky casino?

In particular, Tsunade often told her that her gambling skills were inherited from her great-grandfather.

Silent contemplation.

Tsunade's grandfather was none other than the First Hokage.

This is outrageous! How dare you tarnish the image and reputation of the First Hokage like this! Even if you are Tsunade, you can't do this!

Seeing Shizune's unusual excitement and eagerness, Tsuna felt a pang of sadness.

Mitsune, you've changed. You're no longer that cute girl who listened to me!

There are still fifty strings!

A flame ignited in his gaze as he looked at Gyūgen.

Tsunade was filled with grief and indignation.

This naturally wicked brat actually managed to get Grandma Mito to side with him and bully her weak and helpless granddaughter. The sky over Konoha has fallen dark!

After breakfast, Kushina pulled Isogen along as they walked towards Konoha Hospital.

I was quite moved by what happened at the dinner table along the way.

"This is the first time I've ever seen Tsunade so furious and helpless."

She'd wanted to do that for a long time!

"The cricket's tail is not worth mentioning."

"It's nothing. But you've got quite a knack for this cricket, haven't you?"

"The old lady will cry if she finds out."

"Tsunade isn't that fragile," Kushina retorted. "Besides, it's her own fault for always borrowing money from me and never paying it back."

Yes, that's right, Tsunade is just that despicable.

Back when Uzumaki Village still existed, the Uzumaki clan easily established some industries based on their relationship with Konoha. Even after Uzumaki Village was destroyed, these industries were not confiscated.

The brilliance of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha was so dazzling that many people overlooked Mito Uzumaki, a seemingly weak woman who could easily defeat the Nine-Tails with one hand.

Although Kushina is a refugee from Uzumaki Village, her ancestors are still alive, and she naturally has a share in the Uzumaki clan's businesses. The little girl doesn't need that much money right now, so Tsunade took advantage of the situation to trick and ambush her.

Relying on Mito Uzumaki's desire to have a good chat with Hashirama Senju, who had already gone to the Pure Land, about his powerful shamelessness, Tsunade actually managed to get a good deal from the then naive Kushina.

When money is mentioned, Kushina thinks of Isogen's feat of going out and bringing back hundreds of millions of yen in cash.

It must be acknowledged that there are differences between people. For example, she could not have imagined taking money from the vaults of the nobility, let alone that just a few nobles would have so much cash to gamble at the casino.

Using the strange phrase "fifty strings" is...

'Who invented this "aristocratic" contraption? It spits out money the moment it's hit.'

As they spoke, they arrived at Konoha Hospital.

tread.

As Wu Shixian stepped into the hospital gate with his left foot first, invisible ripples spread out in a fan shape, covering the heads of everyone in the hospital.

Those who lived through that period had solemn expressions.

The boy has returned.

"Welcome back, Yuuka." Yukino Kagura greeted Isogen, who had returned to inspect the territory, with a smile.

Pharmacist Nonou wore a white coat and round-framed glasses, radiating a gentle aura.

Besides her identity as a top-tier ninja spy known as the 'Wandering Shrine Maiden,' Yakushi Nonou also possesses remarkable medical ninjutsu skills.

For Konoha, where medical ninjas are scarce, he is undoubtedly an important talent.

Pharmacist Nonou herself is very satisfied with this arrangement.

Having to deal with the treacherous Danzo, and with the high wages at Konoha Hospital, it's practically paradise compared to my previous life.

After all, he had already confessed what he needed to confess, and besides...

Her gaze toward Isogen was complex.

The day she returned, the Hokage pulled her aside and talked to her for a long time.

For example, she is the anchor point that maintains the spirit of the Fifty Strings. The Fifty Strings will not listen to anyone else but will listen to their own words. Even if they do not listen to everything, they will take it as a reference.

This shows the special nature of the Fifty Strings in the Hokage's eyes.

She wasn't surprised.
