Guaranteed Shimura Danzo delaminated leather.

"Hahaha....."

Thinking of Shimura Danzo being scolded so badly by her grandmother that he didn't even dare to say a word, Tsunade couldn't help but laugh and roll around on the bed.

Unfortunately, Uzumaki Mito had no intention of personally reprimanding Shimura Danzo.

With the identity and status of Uzumaki Mito, she could easily teach Shimura Danzo a lesson, and he truly wouldn't dare to respond. But doing so would be beneath Uzumaki Mito.

The important thing is that she doesn't want to deal with someone like Danzo, who is full of ambition.

Instead of doing it herself, it would be better to take the matter to the Hokage office and let the Third Hokage and the elders deal with it.

As a result, the Third Hokage, who was busy in the Hokage office, was summoned.

The Third Hokage immediately put down what he was doing and rushed to the Senju's ancestral house. Not long after, he left the Senju's ancestral house and returned to the Hokage's office with a dark face.

"Monkey, is there something important for you to summon me in such a hurry?"

After the First Ninja War ended and the Third Hokage firmly established himself as the Hokage, Akamichi, a big man, chose to downplay his position to seek better development for the Ino-Shika-Cho family.

He spent his days huddled in the family, studying food and focusing on the production of the Bingliang Pills mastered by the trio.

"Let's wait until the others arrive."

The Third Hokage nodded slightly and signaled Akamichi to sit for a while. Akamichi patted his big belly, looked at the small chair in front of him, and simply pulled a cushion and sat directly on the floor.

It was really difficult for him to sit on a chair with his huge body.

Soon, Koharu and Mito Homura also arrived at the Hokage office.

The two who walked into the office noticed Akamichi sitting on the floor and couldn't help laughing: "Fat man, you've gained weight again."

"There's no helping it," Akamichi laughed loudly, not forgetting to let Mito Homura pat his big belly to test its resilience.

Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.

Seeing that these two were still fooling around like old times, Koharu scolded them angrily: "What kind of status do you have? How can you still behave like this?"

Akamichi immediately turned serious and pretended nothing had happened.

Mito Homura also pulled up a chair and sat down, as if he wasn't the one patting Akamichi's belly just moments ago.

After the two calmed down, Koharu walked to the chair next to the Third Hokage and sat down.

"Hiruzen, is there something important that needed us here so urgently?"

Danzo hadn't arrived yet, so the Third Hokage chose to brief the three of them first.

"Mito-sama just came to see me. The reason is that Danzo warned Hyuga Shigeru not to get close to Kushina."

"Is he crazy?"

Koharu was a straight-talker, so she blurted out: "Isn't Kushina's situation already settled? Hyuga Shigeru was the disciple Tsunade trained and was recognized by Mito-sama. Why did Danzo turn around and warn him? Is he trying to break the agreement?"

Good grief.

Akamichi and Mito Homura looked at each other.

Others shoot themselves in the foot, but Shimura Danzo is shooting at his own people.

It's like making a promise with one hand, then breaking it with the other.

Where's the honor?

Shigeru was trained by Tsunade and recognized by Uzumaki Mito.

He's practically family.

If he weren't from the Hyuga clan, he'd be a pure Hokage loyalist, and the higher-ups had already reached an agreement with Uzumaki Mito.

Yet here was Shimura Danzo, causing trouble.

"Mito-sama is not happy about this," the Third Hokage said, wanting to strangle Danzo.

Where's your brain?

"Does this meeting have something to do with me?"

Shimura Danzo, arriving late, overheard his name being mentioned.

When he walked into the Hokage office, he saw that the Third Hokage looked grim, Koharu appeared unhappy, and Akamichi gave him a helpless look, warning him to be careful.

Did Hyuga Shigeru go complain?

Danzo considered the possibility.

"Danzo, what are you trying to do?"

Now that Danzo had arrived, the Third Hokage exploded on the spot: "We've already made internal decisions about Kushina. You were there. We reached an agreement with Mito-sama. Why did you do this?"

"For the stability of the village and control over the Jinchūriki."

Not backing down, Shimura Danzo retorted: "A Jinchūriki should not have romantic relationships. Whether Hyuga Shigeru is a main or branch member of the Hyuga clan is irrelevant; he's an unpredictable factor."

"You know how dangerous childbirth is for a Jinchūriki."

With that, Shimura Danzo looked towards Koharu and the others, hoping they would side with him.

But Koharu's face was stone-cold, offering no support. Mito Homura could only shake his head.

"Ahem!!"

Seeing that the ball had landed in his court, Akamichi coughed and reminded Danzo: "Danzo, Kushina is only six years old."

She's just a six-year-old girl, but you're already worrying about her growing up and having kids? Isn't that a bit premature?

"What do you mean?" Shimura Danzo frowned.

Are you playing dumb?

Akamichi was speechless; Danzo's old habit was back.

If something makes sense, hold on to it. If it doesn't, make excuses.

Akamichi said helplessly: "Danzo, we understand your concerns, but don't you think you're worrying unnecessarily? Kushina is only six years old. According to Anbu's investigations, Hyuga Shigeru seems more interested in Tsunade than in Kushina."

As he said that, Akamichi nudged Mito Homura.

"Homura, when you were thirteen, would you have liked a six-year-old brat?"

Mito Homura glanced at Shimura Danzo with a strange look. His face reddened, and he cooperatively said: "Of course not. Isn't it better to like a pretty big sister? Hiruzen liked that too."

"Enough!!"

The Third Hokage started to lose his composure, and Koharu couldn't listen anymore.

I'm still sitting here, and you guys are talking about random things. The conversation is getting more and more inappropriate.

Fortunately, although the conversation strayed, at least it was truthful.

"Okay."

Koharu, irritated, glared as the Third Hokage reeled the conversation back in before it went further off course.

Konoha's leadership was holding an important meeting, yet the main topic had become everyone's preference for older sisters. If this leaked out, it would be a joke.

"Danzo," the Third Hokage issued a stern warning: "From now on, all matters concerning Kushina, big or small, will be handled by me personally. Neither you nor the elders are allowed to interfere."

"Sarutobi, you..."

Danzo became agitated upon hearing this. This wasn't the outcome he wanted.

He aimed to gain more control, but instead, he was being sidelined.

"I won't argue about it, and I am the Hokage," the Third Hokage said, cutting Danzo off before he could object.

If you let Shimura Danzo speak, he'll never stop.
