Konoha: Who's the good guy?

"The rain outside the window keeps pattering, it's been falling for three days and three nights, just like you, my dearest, who hasn't come home for three days and three nights..."

Singing a version of "The Rain Is Still Falling" with lyrics he'd improvised, Shan Zhongjing walked briskly toward the tribe's territory.

"The lyrics are so melancholic, yet you sing them so happily. Are you deliberately trying to distract me?"

Tsunade, whose thoughts were interrupted several times, slapped Yamanaka Kei's arm in annoyance.

That little rascal has no sense at all. Didn't he see that she was seriously thinking about the problem?

"...You don't understand, this is just a little tune for a side job."

Shan Zhongjing rubbed the spot where he had been hit, secretly marveling at how incredibly strong his older sister's grip was.

If anyone tries to date someone like that in the future, one "little punch to the chest" and they'll be sent away on the spot.

Oh, she doesn't have a boyfriend!

That's all!

"A side hustle? Your barbecue restaurant plays this kind of music? Don't bother me while I'm thinking."

Tsunade glanced sideways at Yamanaka Kei, too lazy to pay attention to his nonsense.

After forcibly occupying half the space under the umbrella, she bit her thumb and continued to recall the medical reports that had just made her feel uneasy.

"Eating nail polish is bad for your health."

"Can you take a beating?"

Tsunade's forehead creased into a deep frown as she glared angrily at Yamanaka Kei, her teeth clenched.

How many times has this happened? How many times has it already?

Why is it so hard for her to concentrate on something?

"What's bothering you? Tell me, and I'll try to figure it out for you."

Yamanaka Kei didn't take Tsunade's threat seriously at all.

joke.

What is his current strength?

It's fine for them to joke around normally, but if Tsunade really wants to get serious, he can throw her to the ground in no time.

Do you really think the red keyword "Zero Frame Start" is just for show?

"...The rejection reaction in Danzo's medical report is very strange. Do you know what a rejection reaction is?"

Tsunade glared fiercely at Yamanaka Kei.

Her medical ninjutsu is so good that if she claims to be second only to Konoha, no one dares to claim to be first.

Although the data in those test reports fluctuated only slightly, there was indeed some rejection reaction.

As stated in the case report.

These rejection reactions were simply due to Danzo's right eye being destroyed in his early years, and the implanted prosthetic eyeball that was placed there to prevent facial deformity.

It seemed reasonable, and there were no major problems with the data, but Tsunade still had a lingering sense of unease.

So she repeatedly considered the data, hoping to figure out what was wrong.

"Without Uchiha blood, yet possessing a Sharingan, how could there be no rejection whatsoever?"

Yamanaka Kei scoffed, casually revealing Danzo's true colors.

Danzo was indeed very cautious in his actions.

The bandages wrapped around his head were reinforced with sealing techniques that could conceal his aura, enough to mask the Sharingan's extremely unique chakra aura.

To prevent Tsunade from noticing anything amiss during his treatment, he even gouged out the Sharingan again.

In addition, this guy never used the Sharingan in front of others when he was in Konoha, so no one would naturally make any connection to that.

Therefore, this secret has remained undiscovered for many years.

However, rejection reactions don't lie.

Kakashi has such strong talent, he even unlocked the Mangekyou Sharingan, but he still can't freely control the Sharingan's activation due to the rejection reaction, which causes him to run out of chakra in every battle.

"Sharingan? You...you're sure?"

Tsunade's pupils contracted, and she was shaken to her core, staring incredulously at the mountain scenery beside her.

Danzo? Sharingan?!

Where did he get his Sharingan from?

How is that possible?

Isn't he afraid of facing the wrath of the Uchiha clan after being exposed? How dare he?

"Don't look at me like that. He dug it up in advance so you could get checked and treated. Who knew you only glanced at the medical records and test reports and didn't do any further tests? It was all for nothing."

The smile on Yamanaka Kei's lips widened even further.

Regardless of whether anesthesia was used when Danzo gouged out his eyes, he must have been in pain during the recovery period!

The body has been mostly healed, so it needs to be put back on!

It's such a hassle to go back and forth!

Why can't I suppress this unruly smile of mine?

Are you sure?

Tsunade was clearly still in shock and asked another question.

Believe it or not.

Shan Zhongjing had no intention of explaining further.

He was too lazy to tell others these things because he knew that even if he did, most people probably wouldn't believe him.

And even if Danzo were exposed in public, what difference would it make?

It's true that the hawks in the Uchiha clan are very arrogant, but now the doves are in control of the discourse, and most people in the clan are also doves.

They were not targeted during the Third Shinobi World War, were not marginalized by the Nine-Tails' attack, were not subjected to rampant rumors in the village, and did not suffer various injustices.

Even if the Uchiha clan wanted to take back that three-tomoe Sharingan, they would never choose to completely break ties with Danzo, one of the high-ranking officials of Konoha.

Given the other party's current status in the village, it's more likely that they're just looking for an excuse that's acceptable on the surface.

For example, "This was given to me by my dear friend Uchiha Kagami to protect the eyes of Konoha."

Then, by obtaining certain benefits or promises from the Third Hokage and Danzo, the matter can be reduced to a minor issue and resolved peacefully.

"That damned old bastard Danzo, can't he just go home and lie down and wait to die?"

Tsunade cursed viciously.

He almost couldn't resist turning back and beating Danzo so badly that he couldn't take care of himself.

But she knew that they had already dug out the Sharingan.

Without solid evidence, she had no way to deal with the other party.

Moreover, the Root ninjas wouldn't just stand by and watch their leader get beaten, and the Third Hokage wouldn't sit idly by either.

The Root ninjas are alright, but the Third Hokage... she can't beat him!

Damn it!

"Hey, hey, hey, walk properly! What's with you staring at my feet? If you want to vent your anger, go find Jiraiya."

Feeling Tsunade's increasingly dangerous gaze beside him, Yamanaka Kei glanced at her speechlessly.

Why are you taking your anger out on Danzo?

"Who wants to see that pervert! You've peeked at my chest so many times, what's wrong with charging you a little interest!"

BOOM!

A powerful stomp created a spiderweb-like pattern of cracks in the ground.

With this stomp, Shan Zhongjing's left foot turned into water mist and exploded in all directions.

Unfortunately, neither physical skills nor Tsunade's monstrous strength, which she was so proud of, could harm the Water Transformation Technique.

The next second, Yamanaka Keimai's left foot had fully recovered thanks to the torrential rain.

In such a rainy environment, unless there is a large-scale lightning release attack, few ninjas can harm him in his water-transformed state.

"Sister, when did I peek? If you keep doing this, I'm going to sue you for defamation!"

"You won't admit it?"

"What do I admit to? I looked at it openly and honestly! What's wrong with appreciating beautiful things?"

"Tch~ Save your sweet talk for Kushina, but you're still too green to fool me!"

Tsunade unleashed a flurry of punches, splashing water everywhere.

Shan Zhongjing didn't even bother to dodge, letting the rain of fists fall on him, still marveling at how incredibly effective the water-transforming technique was.

It's not just immune to physical attacks, it can even hydrate clothes.

Besides, who says sweet talk is useless?

Tsunade's strength this time was obviously much less than that kick from before, okay?

Ah, women!

"Phew, let's go home for dinner!"

After venting her anger and feeling satisfied, Tsunade turned and headed towards the Yamanaka clan.

That's my house, damn it!

The mountain scenery was so high that Tsunade's words left him speechless.

But after hesitating for a moment, I only complained about it in my heart.

The person's household registration booklet only has one page left.

Please be understanding.
