Tsunade's voice rose with each word, her shock turning into anger as she looked toward the Hokage's office, her fists clenching.
Sitting in his office, the Third Hokage saw Tsunade's reaction and immediately knew he'd been busted.
'Cough, cough. It's just a misunderstanding, he thought, desperately trying to convince himself. I've been so busy, where would I find the time to do something like that?'
Quickly putting away his crystal ball, the Third Hokage pretended nothing had happened, opening a scroll on his desk to distract himself.
"You dirty old man!" Tsunade seethed. Now certain of her target, she ground her teeth in fury.
Xin pretended nothing had happened and continued walking home with the groceries, while Kushina quickly followed behind.
"Xin, why did we buy beef bones?" Kushina asked.
"For ramen, of course," Xin replied.
"Like the ramen from Ichiraku?"
"Not exactly. You'll see soon enough."
'These two are really trying to distract me' Tsunade thought, watching their casual conversation with growing amusement.
"Wait, wasn't the village strict about the Hyuga clan using the Byakugan in public? What's with the double standards now?" Xin remarked with a hint of sarcasm.
"..."
Tsunade's temple throbbed as she listened to Xin's biting comments.
"You two go on ahead. I'll be back soon," she said, her face darkening as she stormed toward the Hokage's office.
With a single powerful kick, Tsunade blasted the office door open, leaving the Third Hokage staring in surprise.
"Tsunade, what brings you here?" He asked, feigning ignorance.
"Don't play dumb with me, old man! You know exactly what you've done. Even Kushina knows-thanks to Nine Tail ratting you out!" Tsunade snapped.
How embarrassing!
If it had been anyone else, Tsunade would have made them eat her fist. Unfortunately, she couldn't hit the Third Hokage, so she held back her anger.
"You ban the Hyuga clan from using their Byakugan around the village to avoid exposing any secrets, yet you're constantly spying on people with that disgusting jutsu of yours!" She accused.
"Cough, cough!" The Third Hokage, now visibly nervous, tried to defend himself.
"Tsunade, listen to my-uh-explanation. I only did it for the good of the village. The Uchiha have been getting closer to Xin, especially Fugaku Uchiha. His position is too sensitive, so I hoped you'd understand."
"Understand, my foot!" Tsunade retorted, her anger only growing. Why is it that whenever something shady happens, you guys always claim it's "for the good of the village"?
"For the good of the village, could you at least stop doing things that make us look bad? What will people think of Konoha if this gets out?"
