"Lady Tsunade."
Kakashi Hatake's tone remained unchanged, showing little emotional fluctuation.
Why are you all standing outside?
Tsunade asked with some curiosity.
"They are reuniting as mother and son, and we shouldn't disturb them."
Kitazawa replied.
"Too."
Tsunade nodded slightly and said, "In that case, you will come with me to see the Hokage."
With a bang.
Tsunade kicked open the door to the Hokage's office.
"Is the mission complete?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi asked with a calm expression.
He had long since gotten used to the door being kicked so many times.
"Kitazawa".
Tsunade waved her hand and said, "You come to report on the mission."
"Yes."
Kitazawa stepped forward and recounted everything that had happened in the past few days.
"You killed three Jonin and three Chunin from Iwagakure?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi was surprised after hearing this.
"What's so strange about that?"
Tsunade casually remarked, "Kakashi and Kitazawa are both elite Jonin; dealing with three ordinary Jonin shouldn't be a problem for them."
Has Kitazawa's strength reached this level?
Hiruzen Sarutobi realized he had made the mistake of relying on impressions.
But we can't blame him.
The main problem is that Kitazawa updates his version too quickly.
In Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind, he was first and foremost a teacher with excellent teaching skills, and only later a Jonin who had learned ninjutsu such as the Rasengan.
"Alright, the mission is over. You can withdraw your secret service now."
Tsunade paused for a moment and then said, "Also, keep an eye on Shimura Danzo. I don't want to see him target Nonou again."
"Don't worry, it definitely won't happen."
"I assure you," Hiruzen Sarutobi assured.
He was, after all, the Hokage, and could perfectly suppress Shimura Danzo in terms of power.
But all along, he has turned a blind eye.
Konoha is one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, and sometimes it needs to resort to unconventional methods.
Since it was inconvenient for him to become Hokage, the task was handed over to Danzo Shimura and his Root organization.
"I have classified this mission as S-level."
Tsunade continued, "If you have no objections, then distribute the rewards according to the rules."
"Since it involves Jonin from Iwagakure, it should indeed be classified as S-rank."
After a moment's thought, Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "As for the reward for the mission, it will be 1.2 million ryo."
"can."
Tsunade didn't say much.
The usual reward for an S-level mission is one million taels of silver, and this is an extra two hundred thousand taels.
"Lord Hokage."
Kitazawa took out a summoning storage scroll and said, "These are the corpses of six ninjas from Iwagakure."
"very good."
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded in satisfaction and said, "You did a good job."
The corpses of the three Jonin from Iwagakure are quite valuable.
If you're lucky, you might even get the secrets of Iwagakure.
"In addition to the 1.2 million taels of silver reward for the mission, you are also allowed to choose one A-rank ninjutsu."
Hiruzen Sarutobi instructed, "Kakashi, you and Kitazawa go to the Anbu now to collect your mission reward."
"Yes."
Kakashi Hatake immediately responded.
Kitazawa realized that they were being sent away.
Hiruzen Sarutobi will most likely discuss some confidential matters with Tsunade.
But no matter what, having an extra A-rank ninjutsu is a huge win.
He intends to whitewash the dark arts this time.
If he could use the Dark Travel Technique when fighting against the Jonin of Iwagakure, he was confident he could end the battle much faster.
"Kitazawa, don't leave after you've received your mission reward. Wait for me in the Anbu office."
Tsunade seemed to have thought of something and spoke up.
"Ok."
Kitazawa paused for a moment, then agreed.
After saying that, he and Kakashi Hatake left the Hokage's office.
"Old man, just say what you need to say quickly, don't waste my time."
Tsunade said without any politeness.
"Look at you..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly stopped.
"Lord Hokage."
Haru, an ANBU ninja, knocked on the door and came in, saying, "Lord Danzo will be here soon."
"I know, you go down first."
After she left, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly smiled and said, "Danzo is most likely here to interrogate me."
"To demand an explanation? Does he have the right to do so?"
Tsunade asked with a disdainful look.
A few seconds later, Danzo Shimura appeared.
He walked slowly and deliberately to Tsunade with a serious expression.
"Hiruzen, I'm going to sue Tsunade."
Danzo Shimura spoke slowly.
"Sue me?"
Tsunade couldn't help but laugh and said, "You really know how to twist the truth."
"Yakushi Kabuto is a spy that I planted in Iwagakure by Root."
Danzo Shimura said in a deep voice, "But Tsunade sent people to forcibly bring him back, which destroyed Root's years of hard work!"
"Didn't you sell information about Kabuto Yakushi to Iwagakure?"
Tsunade countered with a question.
"That's slander!"
Danzo Shimura, leaning on his cane, declared righteously, "I will absolutely not betray Konoha!"
"Then let me ask you, was it you who used the orphanage to coerce Nono?"
Tsunade snorted coldly and asked.
"What kind of coercion?"
Danzo Shimura narrowed his eyes slightly and explained, "I provide funding for the orphanage, and Nono is working for me voluntarily."
"What nonsense!"
Tsunade's expression darkened, and she asked, "The orphanage is an institution of Konoha. When did it become your place to provide funding?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi appeared slightly embarrassed upon hearing this.
Under normal circumstances, he should be allocating funds to the Konoha Orphanage.
However, after Shimura Danzo intervened, it became a Root Foundation grant.
"This is the end of the matter."
Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but speak up.
He worried that if he continued talking, it would bring up more problems related to Danzo Shimura.
If Tsunade were to investigate later, it would be troublesome.
"Let's not talk about this for now."
Danzo Shimura looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi and said, "Kabuto Yakushi is a member of Root. Now that he has returned to the village, he should return to Root."
"Kabuto Yakushi is a medical ninja, he should be under my jurisdiction!"
Tsunade stated unequivocally, "Konoha Hospital is a better fit for him than Root!"
"Tsunade is right."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said seriously, "Medical ninjas are already scarce, so neither he nor Nonou need to return to Root."
"Sun Slayer!"
Danzo Shimura gripped his cane tightly, his body trembling slightly.
This old friend who is usually very tolerant of him is now teaming up with Tsunade to bully him?
Chapter 138 Yakushi Kabuto Wants to Become Kitazawa's Apprentice
"Here is six hundred thousand taels."
Kakashi Hatake handed Kitazawa a bankbook.
"Thank you."
Kitazawa took the passbook, then, as if remembering something, asked, "How come it's 600,000 taels? Shouldn't a portion be handed over to Konoha?"
Once a task is completed, the reward received must be split in two.
Konoha takes a small portion, and the remaining reward belongs to the ninja team.
"We don't need ANBU ninjas."
Kakashi Hatake shook his head and said.
"No wonder so many people want to join the Dark Division."
Kitazawa paused slightly, then said.
"With your strength, you only need to speak to the Hokage to join the Anbu."
Kakashi Hatake pondered for a moment and said, "I can also help you with introductions."
"Need not."
