Three days later.
The Konoha higher-ups still hadn't thought of a solution, and they and Jiraiya were still 'working hard' in the Hokage's office!
But, unfortunately.
What the Konoha higher-ups didn't know was that the Uchiha's supporting plan had already started three days ago.
The spies of the Uchiha and countless ninja clans had long been cooperating with the Police Force to spread the news of the inquiry letter among the villagers, but it was still in the fermentation period for the time being.
In a private room of an izakaya.
At this moment, Tsunade was already slightly tipsy, and there were empty wine bottles everywhere in the private room.
"Tsunade-sama, you've drunk enough!"
Shizune was very helpless. Looking at Tsunade in front of her, she also had a real headache.
In response to this.
Tsunade had a face full of disdain: "Putting it on the village's tab openly, such an opportunity is very rare. Of course, I have to take the opportunity to drink more!"
After speaking.
She downed another mouthful of wine, a trace of bitterness appearing in her eyes.
Yes!
She wasn't born an alcoholic; she was just drowning her sorrows in alcohol.
Actually, a long time ago, she was only fond of gambling and rarely touched alcohol. But since the deaths of Senju Nawaki and Dan Kato, she began to be crazily obsessed with alcohol.
After all...
Only when drinking could she temporarily forget the bitterness in her heart.
Not to mention that this time, in order to force her to become the Hokage, the village even made a decision that her expenses during this period could be put on the village's account. Even though she still hadn't thought about becoming the Hokage, she might as well take advantage of this benefit.
Shizune was very helpless about this.
Finally, she couldn't be bothered to think about these things and started eating on her own.
On the contrary, Tsunade became more and more annoyed as she drank.
"What are those guys outside arguing about? Can't they let people drink in peace?"
"Shizune, go check it out!"
Tsunade, who was drinking, threw the empty wine bottle away and said angrily.
In response to this.
Although Shizune was very helpless, she still left the private room helplessly.
However.
When she returned a moment later, her face instantly turned very pale.
"Tsunade-sama, let's go."
"Those people outside are very strange; they seem to be plotting to smash the Hokage Building!"
"Let's go back quickly!"
Shizune was a little terrified, her eyes full of panic.
There was no helping it.
Although her medical ninjutsu was good, she had no confidence in her strength.
And, to be honest.
She was taken away from Konoha by Tsunade since she was a child, so she naturally had no feelings for the village. If Tsunade hadn't chosen to come back this time, she wouldn't have even thought about coming back.
So for someone like her who had no feelings for the village, facing the current situation, her first thought was to leave.
On the contrary, on the other side.
Hearing these words, Tsunade's hazy eyes instantly cleared up.
"Smash the Hokage Building?"
"Yes!"
Hearing Tsunade's inquiry, Shizune spoke immediately.
Tsunade was bewildered.
Good heavens!
She really found it hard to imagine that ordinary people had this courage?
No.
Something is very wrong!
She immediately threw away the wine bottle in her hand, left the private room, and went to the hall. Then she saw someone roaring loudly.
"Friends, compatriots!"
"Many of our ninjas shed their blood and sacrificed their lives for the village. Countless relatives and friends died on the battlefield, but the pensions have not been issued for two or three years."
"Advisor Nara found out some time ago that all the money allocated by the Daimyo to the village has inexplicably disappeared. He even submitted an inquiry letter a few days ago to check the accounts, but there is still no news from the Hokage Building."
"What does this mean?"
"It means that the village higher-ups know there is something fishy about the finances, but they still dare not let us check the accounts. This proves that it is possible that the Konoha higher-ups are the ones with problems."
"Think about the dead comrades, think about our war commissions. are you willing to let the money we earned with our lives be embezzled directly by some village higher-ups?"
"No, I absolutely do not accept it!"
"Those who are willing to follow me, come with me to smash the Hokage Building directly!"
After speaking.
The leader waved his hand and left the izakaya first.
Others followed one after another.
There was anger burning in everyone's eyes. After all, the money embezzled by the village higher-ups was exchanged for the lives of their relatives and friends. That money was stained with their blood!
On the other side.
Tsunade, who watched the whole thing, sobered up instantly. She immediately reminded Shizune to use the Transformation Technique, and then she also turned into an ordinary ninja and left the izakaya behind the crowd.
Immediately after.
She was completely dumbfounded!
She saw a fire burning in the hospital not far away, and even many shops opened by the clansmen of the Hokage higher-ups were smashed. Even the Mission Hall and the Anbu Building had villagers making trouble.
Tsunade's face was pale, and her scalp tingled.
Shizune was also frightened by this scene and couldn't help but say: "Tsunade-sama, are we going to help?"
Tsunade shook her head and said nothing.
At this moment, she was very sure in her heart that this was definitely not organized by the villagers themselves. There must be someone fueling the fire behind the scenes.
So, who was it?
She almost didn't need to think; it must be the Uchiha!
However.
Thinking of Senju Nawaki, Dan Kato, and the tragically dead Senju clansmen in her heart, did she really want to risk her life for these Konoha higher-ups shrouded in darkness?
To be honest...
She just wanted to escape now!
But, unfortunately.
She knew she couldn't do it. That bastard Jiraiya would definitely look for her.
So.
Since this matter could not be avoided, in order to avoid being entangled by Jiraiya, she finally made up her mind completely.
"Shizune, do you trust me?"
"Tsunade-sama, I trust you!"
Shizune's face was very calm, and then she said directly: "Where you go, I go!"
"Okay, let's go then!" Tsunade heard this and said directly: "To the Uchiha!"
Shizune was bewildered: "Tsunade-sama, what did you say?"
"Uchiha!" Tsunade's tone was calm.
After speaking.
She turned around and headed directly towards the Uchiha clan grounds. Although Shizune's mind was blank and she couldn't figure out why Tsunade made this decision, she eventually followed behind Tsunade.
Yes!
Her feelings for the village were not deep, and her only relative was Tsunade in front of her.
Naturally, whatever Tsunade chose, she would follow unconditionally.
Not long after.
Before Tsunade and Shizune stepped into the Uchiha clan grounds, they were directly stopped by a patrol squad.
However, fortunately.
There was a Nara clan member in this patrol squad, and he recognized Tsunade's identity.
"Tsunade-sama?"
"Do you have any business coming here today?"
