"You all are questioning my decision?", sunade's gaze turned cold.
Koharu Utatane showed no fear, "Tsunade, acting like this will chill the hearts of all those who shed blood for Konoha!"
Homura Mitokado, at this moment, had wisely chosen not to speak further.
Because he noticed that Tsunade's expression was starting to look wrong, and only then did he suddenly recall, 'Tsunade is not like Hiruzen. Even if Hiruzen got angry, he would just vent at Danzo.'
'If Tsunade gets angry, she wil actually start throwing punches.'
He still remembered that time when Jiraiya, that guy, seemed to have had several ribs broken...
Sure enough—
BANG!
Tsunade suddenly stood up from the Hokage's seat and slammed her fist onto the desk.
Immediately, the whole desk cracked into pieces.
"Koharu Utatane! Mind your status!"
"Right now, I am the Hokage. You, an old thing living on a title without doing anything, have no right to say this kind of thing to me!"
She stared directly at Koharu Utatane.
Koharu Utatane was immediately frightened and took a few steps back, her face extremely pale.
Just now, she even thought the other party was about to punch her too.
Gulp~
Koharu Utatane swallowed hard with difficulty. Right now, she really wanted to say, ["According to procedure, you're not officially the Hokage yet."]
But she didn't dare, because the other had the truth in her hands.
Homura Mitokado saw the situation getting out of hand and tried to play mediator.
"Tsunade, Koharu was just worried about your reputation. If the villagers knew that you just took office and then—"
"You think I didn't scold you just now?"
Tsunade glanced coldly at Homura Mitokado, instantly blocking the words in his throat.
Her tone became even sharper, "All day long, you only joke around, fish in troubled waters, hold onto a high position without any achievement, just seeking benefit for yourselves."
"It's because you two are rotten that a huge part of Konoha is also rotten. Right now, I really wish I could directly remove you both!"
In an instant, both Koharu and Homura were speechless.
Neither dared to speak again.
Seeing the two of them looking like frightened quails, Tsunade's mood improved quite a bit.
She sat back down in her seat, arms crossed, long, plump legs crossed as well.
"You want to know why I locked Danzo up?"
Homura and Koharu simultaneously nodded, looking quite comical.
"Go look in the interrogation room yourselves!"
The two quickly left in a hurry, and soon returned just as quickly.
Their expressions were even more anxious than when they first arrived.
"Tsunade, that Danzo is absolutely fake!"
Koharu's face could no longer be described as anxious, it was practically fearful.
Tsunade only gave her a glance, "Already checked. That's definitely Danzo himself."
"This… how is that possible?"
Homura's face was equally shocked.
"Danzo must've been controlled by evil Uchiha genjutsu," Koharu gritted her teeth.
"The Uchiha must be severely punished!"
"The interrogation unit has checked. No sign of genjutsu at all," Tsunade rubbed her brow, her patience was running thin.
So many annoying issues at once, and these two old things were still pointing fingers.
"That's impossible, then why would Danzo turn out like that?"
"I don't know either. We're still observing."
"What if—"
"Enough!", Tsunade took a deep breath and said sharply, "Either be quiet or get out!"
"You!", Koharu was furious, but her tone softened a lot, "We are Hokage advisors, we have the duty to help manage the village."
"You two going home and lying down would be the greatest help to me," Tsunade thought this advisor role was absolute trash.
If the advisors were capable, then maybe they'd be useful.
But people like Koharu just limited the Hokage's power and couldn't help at all.
In the end, under Tsunade's "truth" (fist) threat, the two left disgraced.
Many times, fists still worked best.
Now, in all of Konoha, Tsunade's fist was the strongest.
Even without the two's interference, Tsunade still spent a long time finally wrapping up the handover of Hokage duties.
By the time she got off work, she was physically and mentally exhausted.
Looking at it this way, the Hokage advisors did serve a purpose—but the personnel needed replacing.

[Senju Ancestral Home]
Shizune was in the kitchen preparing dinner, while Aoba was sitting cross-legged on the living room sofa.
Behind his butt, a tail had grown out.
This 'tail' kept coiling and extending around Aoba.
Rather than a tail, it looked more like a flexible arm. But it was actually a chain.
He manipulated the chain as if it were his own limb, swinging and waving it through the living room.
Sometimes smacking Tonton's butt, sometimes tying up the escaping Tonton and pulling it back, messing around in all kinds of ways.
So much so that the pig let out grumbling sounds.
"Aoba, stop teasing Tonton, it already came to complain to me," Shizune called from the kitchen, a bit helpless.
"Shizune-nee, can you really understand what Tonton says?", Aoba asked curiously.
"Of course. Tonton isn't just an ordinary little pig," Shizune's voice carried a trace of pride.
Even so, Aoba didn't stop and kept poking Tonton with the end of the chain.
Click!
The sound of the door lock turning echoed.
Tsunade, exhausted, came in from outside.
Weakly, she said, "I'm home..."
Aoba looked over and smiled, "Sensei, welcome back."
"Mm… huh?"
Tsunade, who still looked exhausted, suddenly widened her eyes when she saw the scene in the living room.
She didn't even bother changing shoes and stepped barefoot on the floor, quickly walking toward Aoba.
When she reached him, she grabbed his 'little tail' with one hand.
Stopping him from teasing Tonton any further.
"What is this?"
"I suddenly awakened it last night," Aoba answered truthfully.
"Suddenly awakened?", Tsunade looked confused, 'This is something you can suddenly awaken?'
"Anything else awakened?"
Aoba scratched the back of his head, "Also awakened a rather powerful sensory jutsu."
"..."
Tsunade didn't speak, just squinted her eyes and stared at Aoba.
As time passed, Tsunade still said nothing, just stared.
Aoba got a bit awkward, "Sensei, say something..."
"Lift up your shirt!"
"Huh?", Aoba blinked, thinking he'd misheard.
'So direct right off the bat?'
Seeing that he didn't move, Tsunade did it herself, lifting his shirt and placing her warm, soft palm on his lower abdomen.
Then Tsunade's eyes opened even wider.
"There's this much more?"
She could feel that the chakra in Aoba's body had increased several times compared to the last time she checked.
Almost more than hers now.
'Is it really the Uzumaki bloodline?'
Tsunade's expression became quite complex. While shocked in her heart, she also had some doubt.
Before, Aoba's chakra was indeed far beyond the average person's, but still within a reasonable range, not really like someone with the Uzumaki bloodline, 'So how did it suddenly explode overnight...'
She'd never heard of the Uzumaki clan's chakra quantity needing to be awakened later, after all.
