"You three bastards got drunk in the tavern, refused to pay, and injured many people in the tavern, including the tavern owner!

After people from our police department arrived, not only did you refuse to cooperate with law enforcement, but you also insulted us, and even insulted our young patriarch and old patriarch!"

Even if he is insulted, even the young and old patriarchs of the family are insulted, as long as he is an Uchiha, he cannot tolerate it.

So the arrest process was a little more forceful, which resulted in the situation we now face.

"Not bad, you dare to insult even the young patriarch and patriarch of other families, and you forgot your own last name after drinking a few ounces of wine?"

Tsunade looked at the three patients with somewhat unfriendly eyes.

She wasn't a member of F4, and she had no personal issues with the Uchiha. In situations like these, it was purely business, and she wouldn't take sides just because the higher-ups were targeting Uchiha.

Too bad.

Seeing Tsunade's expression change, the three patients who were brought to the hospital quickly became pitiful.

"Ah, my hand is broken. My hand is broken. It hurts so much. The people in Uchiha viciously beat the villagers."

"That's enough," Tsunade said coldly, not showing any sympathy because they were injured. "Carry them in immediately for treatment, and they will pay for their own medical expenses."

"Uchiha Fugaku, right?"

"Tsunade-sama."

Not being directly targeted, Uchiha Fugaku breathed a sigh of relief. When Tsunade called his name, he quickly stepped forward.

Tsunade said seriously to Uchiha Fugaku, "Although the other party crossed a line, you shouldn't have been so harsh. After the treatment of the three of them is completed, take them to the police department and decide how to deal with the matter.

Also, send someone to the Hokage office to report this."

Since they caused trouble, beat people, resisted arrest, and insulted others, they needed to be punished. Injuries wouldn't let them escape their due consequences.

This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.

After the treatment of the patients, they would receive the punishment they deserved.

As for the Police Department, they also needed to send someone to the Hokage office. Whether or not the Third Hokage punished the Police Department was not something Tsunade had to worry about.

"Yes."

This outcome was fair to Uchiha and didn't take sides.

Uchiha Fugaku accepted it obediently.

"Alright, alright, let's all disperse. There's nothing more to see."

Tsunade quickly resolved the matter.

If possible, she didn't want to get involved in this nonsense.

But she knew that if she hadn't stepped in, the issue would have escalated, and Uchiha would have faced harsher consequences from the higher-ups. The villagers who insulted Uchiha's young and old patriarchs wouldn't have it easy either.

Don't think Uchiha is an easy target. If you cross the line, they might find a few excuses to make you pay.

Not to mention, they could even deal with you quietly.

As long as there was no evidence, who could prove Uchiha was responsible?

Uchiha might overlook ordinary insults. After all, the police department's work easily led to conflict, and they were used to offending people.

But it was a different matter if you insulted their young and old patriarchs.

That was asking for trouble.

After handling this absurd incident, Tsunade and Shigeru left the hospital together.

As soon as they stepped outside the hospital gate, Tsunade began to complain: "The dissatisfaction with Uchiha in the village is growing louder, and the Hokage office and elders haven't stepped in to address it. If this continues, something bad will happen sooner or later."

Complaints aside, Tsunade had no way to intervene.

Although she had a special status, this was a matter for the Hokage and the elders to handle. She couldn't cross the line.

"To be precise, dissatisfaction with several ninja clans is rising," Shigeru reminded her.

Do you think F4 is only targeting Uchiha?

No, you're wrong.

Most ninja clans are under pressure, except for families allied with the Hokage, like the Sarutobi, Shimura, and Yamanaka clans.

"The Hyuga clan too?" Tsunade, who rarely paid attention to these matters, was surprised.

It was expected with Uchiha, considering they ran the police department. Enforcing the law meant clashing with villagers, leading to widespread resentment.

But Hyuga?

"It's always been there."

Shigeru shook his head. "Many villagers feel that the Hyuga clan act superior and don't respect them. However, the Hyuga also have their faults. They are too isolated and arrogant."

It didn't seem right.

Tsunade didn't understand why the Hyuga clan would face such issues.

Could it be...

Instinctively, she glanced towards the Hokage office building.

It was likely the work of the Hokage office.

"What's more interesting is that clans like the Sarutobi and Shimura are becoming more popular in the village."

"…"

Don't try to manipulate me, Tsunade thought. She wasn't naive.

After hearing this, she gave Shigeru a sharp look.

"Have you found a house? Do you need my help?"

"Yes, I found one. We're moving tomorrow."

Shigeru laughed, changing the topic.

"That's good. I'll help you move some things tomorrow. Now hurry up; I'm starving."

"???"

Wait, you're hungry, so go eat. Why are you following me?

You've become addicted to eating for free, haven't you?

It turned out Tsunade was indeed addicted.

Watching her devour her food, Shigeru thought that if she hosted a mukbang show, no one would suspect she was faking it.

How could she fit an entire, spicy chicken leg into her mouth without choking?

"Why are you staring at me? Aren't you hungry?"

With one quick bite, she spit out clean bones onto the table.

A big chicken leg in, only a bone out—this was ventriloquism at its finest!

"Your future boyfriend is going to be very happy."

With an inexplicable sigh, Shigeru joined the food fight, knowing if he didn't grab some, it'd all be gone.

As the evidence showed, he had cooked for four, but Tsunade was finishing it all on her own.

"Kid, I suspect you're thinking something inappropriate." Tsunade's instincts told her the boy in front of her was up to no good.

"No, definitely not. I'm complimenting you."

"Ha! You think I'll believe that?"

"If you don't believe me, I'm sorry, but you don't have a boyfriend anyway."

"…"

That was a bit harsh, and Tsunade felt like stabbing Shigeru with her chopsticks.

He really knew how to press the wrong buttons.
