Chapter 124: The Real Princess Hug

Late at night.

In the Hokage's office.

"Old man, go and rest," Tsunade advised, glancing at the haggard Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Yeah, Hiruzen, leave this to us," Danzo Shimura said, pretending to be concerned about his friend while actually in a great mood.

"I'm fine," Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand. "I'm a father, but first and foremost, I'm the Hokage. I won't let any personal feelings affect Konoha."

Danzo Shimura's face instantly froze.

Hokage! Hokage! So annoying!

"This can't be hidden. Make an official announcement," Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed as he skimmed through the documents in front of him.

Apart from the missing members of the Uchiha clan, all the other ninjas had sacrificed their lives.

Konoha's combat power had been weakened by at least ten percent.

"As for Sasuke Uchiha..."

Before he had finished, Danzo Shimura interrupted him.

"Hand him over to me!" There was a glint of danger in his eyes. "No one can be sure if Sasuke Uchiha will be the next Itachi Uchiha. Let him join Root. I'll train him into a blade loyal to Konoha that will never betray."

Itachi Uchiha's Mangekyo Sharingan was incredibly powerful.

Whether Sasuke Uchiha had the talent or not, it was best to keep him under control.

And having him around was like holding Itachi Uchiha's weakness.

It could prevent Danzo Shimura from waking up in the middle of the night to find a pair of Mangekyo Sharingan staring at him.

"Humph, handing him to you will only ruin a genius," Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a deep voice. "Let Sasuke Uchiha continue as usual. I'll find a good teacher for him."

"Hiruzen, you..."

"I won't regret it," Hiruzen Sarutobi interrupted him and then asked coldly, "What do you have to say for your unauthorized actions?"

Danzo Shimura was slightly stunned. He didn't have time to be bothered by this annoyance and quickly said righteously, "Everything I've done is for Konoha!"

"Enough! Konoha is not a tool for you to pursue personal gain!" Hiruzen Sarutobi was already furious because of Seinosuke Sarutobi's death. "From today on, Root will be dissolved on the spot!"

"What?!" Danzo Shimura was shocked. He quickly said, "I won't agree!"

"At the same time, you're no longer the leader of Root or the Hokage's advisor. Go back and enjoy your retirement, Danzo," Hiruzen Sarutobi said sternly with an ashen face.

Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane, who had been watching the drama, both looked surprised.

They hadn't seen such a decisive Hiruzen Sarutobi in a long time.

"Hiruzen?!" Danzo Shimura shouted in disbelief. "I've made contributions to Konoha! I've shed blood for Konoha! You can't do this!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at him, unmoved.

"You'll regret this, Hiruzen!" Danzo Shimura gritted his teeth, his face full of resentment, and rushed out of the room.

After walking out of the Hokage Building, his face was as gloomy as the night.

He used the Shifting Body Technique[b]Shifting Body Technique[/b] and disappeared, finally returning to the Root Base.

"Danzo."

Several figures knelt before him.

"Tatsuma, go to the Sarutobi clan's residence and get rid of Hiruzen Sarutobi's grandson. Do it cleanly."

Danzo issued his order coldly.

You could stay calm after losing Seinosuke Sarutobi.

What about another unborn grandson?

"Fu Yamanaka, go spread the news."

Danzo continued to instruct, "Say that the Uchiha clan was destroyed because they kidnapped and killed Seinosuke Sarutobi."

He didn't believe Hiruzen Sarutobi could hold on.

Moreover, he was a Hokage who valued his reputation highly.

A mix of true and false public opinions would undoubtedly make people doubt him.

After three mental blows, if he could still continue as Hokage...

Danzo could only admit bad luck.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi, if you're heartless, don't blame me for being unjust."

He closed his eyes and issued his last order, "Go and invite Orochimaru quickly."

The Senju Residence.

Natsume yawned as he was waiting for Tsunade to come back.

It was almost two o'clock in the morning. He couldn't help exclaiming.

They had been talking for so long. He wondered what they were really doing.

"Why not go to your room and sleep?"

Tsunade opened the door and saw Natsume on the sofa.

"I'm waiting for you."

Natsume rubbed his eyes and said, "If you didn't come back, I would fall asleep."

A warm feeling welled up in Tsunade's heart.

No matter how late she got home, there was someone waiting for her.

This was a feeling worth cherishing.

"Sorry, so many things happened tonight."

Tsunade walked up to him and said, "Go back to your room first. I'll take a bath."

"Carry me in your arms."

Natsume nestled on the sofa and refused to move.

In his past life, this was impossible.

But in the ninja world, Tsunade was a super-strong woman.

"Why are you still acting like a kid?"

She gave Natsume a sidelong glance, but her body betrayed her. She bent down and picked him up with both hands.

The Real Princess Hug.

Warm and comfortable.

Then he was mercilessly tossed onto the bed.

The rough action showed no trace of a princess at all.

Natsume twitched the corners of his mouth and thought to himself, 'What a bad woman!'

He lay in bed and waited for half an hour before Tsunade re-entered the room.

She was wearing white pajamas, and her hair had been dried, falling loosely behind her.

This chapter isn't finished yet!

Compared with her usual self, she was less heroic and more laid-back.

Tsunade turned off the light.

And was immediately embraced.

She didn't push him away. Instead, she felt the exhaustion she had accumulated tonight slowly fading away.

How nice!

Tsunade pressed her face against his, feeling his warmth, and fell asleep.

A new day dawned.

While the two were sound asleep, the news that the Uchiha clan had been massacred spread throughout Konoha overnight, causing a huge sensation.

Not only the villagers but also the ninja clans found it hard to believe.

Because the strength of the Uchiha clan was well-recognized.

Even those who disliked them wouldn't deny their power.

And yet, this ninja clan was completely massacred in one night, leaving only one survivor, Sasuke Uchiha.

How absurd!

[Due to your actions, the destiny of Konohamaru Sarutobi has changed. You have gained 100 points of destiny value.]

[Due to your actions, the destiny of Hiruzen Sarutobi has changed. You have gained 80 points of destiny value.]

Natsume was awakened by the prompt sounds.

He was a bit bewildered.

What's this got to do with Konohamaru Sarutobi?

"Lady Tsunade!"

Accompanied by Shizune's anxious voice, the door was pulled open.

She stood there, stunned.

Tsunade was in a deep sleep, her face pressed against Natsume's, and her arms wrapped around him.

Hearing Shizune's voice, she instinctively raised her head.

"S-s-sorry!"

Shizune realized what was going on, bowed deeply, and then turned and ran away.

She was extremely regretful at this moment.

She should've knocked on the door.

"…?"

Tsunade was petrified on the spot.

After a moment, her face flushed bright red, and she wished she could escape the ninja world.

"Um…"

Natsume scratched his head and was about to say something when Tsunade punched him, sending him flying into the far corner.
