Chapter 190: Report of Assault

As soon as Tsunade returned to Konoha, she immediately began managing the aftermath of the "Akatsuki Attack." Naturally, both Kirito and Kakashi were dragged along to assist her.

"Lady Tsunade, here is the casualty report from the attack." Shizune greeted Tsunade promptly, handing her a small report.

It doesn't seem like there were many casualties this time...

Kirito noticed the thin report in Shizune's hands and deduced that the attack must not have been devastating. A large number of casualties would have resulted in a much thicker report.

Tsunade scanned the document quickly, her brows furrowing as she frowned.

"Lady Tsunade, what's wrong?" Kakashi asked upon seeing her serious expression.

Tsunade sighed heavily and rubbed her temples. "That kid Sasuke... He killed Danzo."

"What?!" Kakashi exclaimed in shock. "Danzo is dead?! Why would he do that?"

Kirito silently sighed. He had already anticipated this outcome. Obito was likely manipulating Sasuke, fueling his hatred by reminding him of the Uchiha clan's massacre. This deep-seated grudge was something that couldn't be easily erased, and it inevitably led Sasuke down this path.

"Honestly, I was never fond of Danzo," Tsunade continued. "I imprisoned him after his involvement in Orochimaru's escape and removed him from his position. But still, he was a member of Konoha and a former high-ranking official. What Sasuke did was unacceptable."

Shizune quickly leaned toward Tsunade, whispering, "Lady Tsunade, please keep your voice down! It would be bad if others overheard you saying this."

Kakashi sighed deeply. "I understand... But why would Sasuke specifically target Danzo? Did he harm anyone else?"

Tsunade shook her head and said, "No. It seems Sasuke was only after Danzo. Aside from that, he didn't attack any other villagers."

Kakashi visibly relaxed at that news. At least Sasuke hasn't gone completely astray... He knew Danzo had committed countless dubious acts in the shadows, and whatever Sasuke had done was likely a response to those actions. Danzo's death might have shaken the upper ranks of Konoha, but for most villagers, it wouldn't cause much turmoil.

Tsunade tossed the report onto her desk and leaned back. "I'll be issuing a warrant for Sasuke's arrest. Kakashi, go inform Naruto and Sakura. I'm sure they'll need time to prepare themselves for this news."

Kakashi hesitated. "Wait... Naruto? Isn't he at Mount Myoboku?"

"Not anymore. After Sasuke killed Danzo, Naruto was summoned back to the village through a summoning jutsu. He and Sasuke fought, and apparently, Sasuke has awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan. In the end, Naruto let Sasuke escape."

Kirito inwardly shook his head. Naruto's soft heart again… Sasuke slipped away, even after that.

Kakashi frowned, concern evident in his voice. "The Mangekyo Sharingan? Just what has Sasuke been through..."

Tsunade waved dismissively. "We'll discuss it once things settle down. For now, go and speak to Naruto and Sakura."

"Understood." Kakashi turned and left, his thoughts swirling.

Kirito stepped forward. "Master, I'll go check on the village to get more information about what happened during the attack."

Before he could leave, Tsunade stopped him. "Wait. You need to tell me something first. What's going on with Little Leopard?"

Kirito blinked, caught off guard. "What happened to Little Leopard?"

Tsunade explained, "During the attack, Akatsuki summoned a massive creature known as the Gedo Mazo. According to the intelligence team, it's likely the vessel they use to seal the Tailed Beasts."

She continued, "However, as soon as it appeared, Little Leopard suddenly grew to an enormous size and dragged the Gedo Mazo into the Forest of Death. From what our team observed, Little Leopard completely suppressed the Gedo Mazo—something with the power of multiple Tailed Beasts!"

Tsunade's eyes narrowed. "So, what is Little Leopard exactly? It's not just an ordinary pet, is it?"

Kirito sighed and asked, "How does the village plan to handle this?"

"Relax," Tsunade reassured him. "The village trusts you. You and Little Leopard have grown up under everyone's watch, and you've both proven your loyalty. The only reason I'm asking is so we can better understand the situation and be prepared."

Kirito nodded and explained calmly, "You can think of Little Leopard as something like a 'mini Tailed Beast.' It's incredibly powerful but much more docile than any of the Tailed Beasts. The reason it fought the Gedo Mazo was because my wooden clone ordered it to. It won't act without my instruction."

Shizune, holding her pet pig Tonton, gaped in surprise. "A... a mini Tailed Beast?!"

"That means I've been letting Tonton play with a Tailed Beast all this time?!" Shizune said incredulously.

Tsunade chuckled. "I had a feeling that pet of yours was unusual, but I never expected this. Still, thanks to Little Leopard, the village avoided further casualties. Konoha owes it a great debt."

She smiled thoughtfully. "We'll reward Little Leopard properly. Maybe it can have the Forest of Death as its territory permanently. I'll leave the details to you, Kirito. See what it wants as a reward."

Kirito nodded. "I'll check in with it later and let you know."
