Tsunade glanced at Hatake Sakumo and Nara Shikashige, her heart filled with doubts. Then, in front of everyone, she undid the seal on the scroll and spread it open.
"Bam!!!"
A few seconds later, as everyone was wondering what the scroll contained, Tsunade's expression turned dark. She stood up in a rage and slammed her hand down on the table.
Hatake Sakumo jumped, instinctively grabbing the map, while Nara Shikashige's hand shook, spilling tea all over the table.
The wooden table cracked under Tsunade's force, shattering into a pile of broken wood on the floor.
"Emmm...."
Who on earth upset this lady?
"This is just too much!! Why are they targeting him like this?" Tsunade seethed.
"Ahem, Tsunade, what happened? Can you share it with us?"
Seeing Tsunade fuming and about to explode, Hatake Sakumo quickly tried to calm the situation with a cough, hoping to ease the tension.
At the same time, he was curious about what could have happened in the village to make Tsunade this furious.
Could it be Nawaki?
No, that didn't make sense. In Konoha, who would dare target Nawaki?
Even though the Senju clan had faded away, their influence remained strong. As the grandson of the First Hokage, Nawaki still enjoyed special privileges.
No one would dare mess with him, and even if they did, the Third Hokage would never allow it.
After all, angering Tsunade could lead to serious trouble, potentially reaching the Daimyo, which would be a huge embarrassment for Konoha's leadership.
"That useless Danzo,"
Tsunade cursed, showing no restraint. "He was supposed to represent the village and negotiate with Hanzo, but instead, he was chased and nearly killed, causing heavy losses to both the Root and Anbu."
Tsunade was merciless, her scorn for Danzo evident.
"And now, despite everything, the old man still tried to pass the mission to Xin. After being refused, he even questioned why Xin wasn't willing to serve the village. Is that reasonable?"
"Hasn't Usagi Xin done enough for the village? Hasn't he gone to the battlefield? Hasn't he earned enough merit?"
"Uh..."
The entire command room was silent, everyone stunned by Tsunade's outburst.
Even Hatake Sakumo and Nara Shikashige didn't dare say anything casually, as Tsunade had just openly criticized the Third Hokage.
Tsunade might dare, but they certainly didn't.
And as for calling Danzo useless-that was pretty bold, considering he was one of Konoha's advisors.
Everyone exchanged looks, and soon, all eyes turned toward Hatake Sakumo.
Why are you all looking at me? Hatake Sakumo thought, exasperated. I'm the frontline commander, but I don't deal with things like this!
Besides, this wasn't really his responsibility. However, seeing Tsunade ranting about the village leadership wasn't a good sign, so Sakumo had no choice but to step in and try to defend the Third Hokage.
