Chapter 122: A Ten-Hour Battle - Tsunade's Confrontation with Natsuo

"Tsunade-sama! What a surprise!" Natsuo said.

He looked up and saw Tsunade who couldn't contain her anger and fiercely threw a punch at Natsuo's face.

He raised his hand and easily caught Tsunade's full power blow.

"Bastard...!" Tsunade's eyes burned with anger. "You are stronger than Kage level..."

"You really are good at pretending." Tsunade said sarcastically.

Being able to casually block her punch like that, Natsuo was obviously not as simple as an ordinary Kage level.

In the end, she still didn't know how to feel about what happened. She feels great frustration about the situation as well as deep anger towards Natsuo. But she also feels pain and sadness since her daughter and being back in Konoha remind her of the people she lost in the past like her brother and Katō Dan.

"Well, circumstances forced me to do it." Natsuo responded relaxed and unconcerned about what was to come, internally he was surprised but he was not intimidated by Tsunade's unleashed fury. "Well, Tsunade, although I'm glad for your visit, I don't think it's good for the new Hokage to break into the Uchiha clan like this." Natsuo said with a smile.

Tsunade who was going through a series of emotions at this moment, shouted: "Natsuo, don't you dare speak so flippantly! You know perfectly well why I'm here!"

"Don't tell me you've forgotten what you've done!"

A pair of fists fiercely smashed over.

Natsuo sighed helplessly. Even though the Great Ninja War had already begun, why was this Hokage still so idle?

Tsunade threw punches with both fists, each punch carrying a gust of wind, and just one punch was enough to seriously injure an Elite Jōnin.

Natsuo defended himself while retreating.

"Fight back!" Tsunade shouted angrily as she continued to strike. "You had the guts to take advantage of me while I was drunk, but you don't have the guts to fight back!"

Natsuo could only smile helplessly. Although he was innocent, he was still in the wrong.

How could he possibly fight back in a situation like this?

"You won't fight back, huh?" Tsunade's eyes narrowed. "Alright, then I'll just kill you today!"

With that, she became even more ferocious in her attacks.

Natsuo's eyes narrowed. Although he felt responsible for what happened to Tsunade, that doesn't mean she can go too far...

Natsuo said to himself: 'It seems that I must show some strength, otherwise Tsunade will not be able to calm down and this situation may get out of control.'

And so...

[Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!]

Their figures intertwined, fists hitting flesh.

The more Tsunade fought, the more excited she became, as if she wanted to vent all the anger, frustration, shame, guilt, pain and sadness that she had accumulated during her year of pregnancy.

Seeing her like this, Natsuo decided to first let her vent, so he only focused on stopping and evading her attacks, retreating step by step.

The main residence of the Uchiha clan was being destroyed by Tsunade's strong blows.

The earth was cracking, covered in the footprints left by Tsunade's footsteps.

Trees, flower beds, and buildings. All turned into ruins!

Fortunately, the Uchiha clan had a large estate, with plenty of space, otherwise they would have ended up attacking someone else's home.

Tsunade suddenly leaped up, towering above, and fiercely threw a punch.

However, in the next second, her expression changed.

"Not good!"

Perhaps the noise here was too loud, Anko, holding her little son, curiously peeked out from behind the wall. But this position happened to be near Tsunade's attack!

Although it didn't hit her directly, even the residual force from the battle was not something a baby could resist!

Tsunade quickly restrained her power. Although she wanted to vent her emotions by hitting Natsuo, that didn't mean she wanted to harm others because of it, much less a baby.

And at this moment...

Natsuo's expression became serious, his pupils suddenly changed.

Susanoo's figure quickly appeared and stood directly in front of Anko.

[Bang!]

Tsunade's punch heavily struck Susanoo. However, Susanoo didn't even sway and directly withstood this punch.

"Anko, what are you doing here?" Natsuo frowned. "It's okay if you're curious, but bringing a baby... Do you really think that with all this commotion this is a safe place?"

"Alright, I'll leave now." Anko stuck out her tongue, knowing that she had made a big mistake by accident.

In fact, she had already received Natsuo's notification saying "Don't come near, no matter what noise you hear." 

But she couldn't resist her curiosity. Especially when she heard that the Fifth Hokage was coming with the appearance of 'catching a bastard', her inner spirit couldn't help but stir, completely forgetting that she still had a baby in her arms.

She is probably the most 'fearless' mother of the Uchiha clan. That her son could survive safely until now, he was considered to be a child favored by heaven.

Anko quickly ran away, knowing from Natsuo's expression that he was truly angry with her this time.

Seeing her leave, Natsuo tried to calm down and then turned his head to look at Tsunade, his eyes flickering with a dangerous light.

"Hokage-sama, it seems you've been a bit too reckless..."

"Maybe I should spank you hard to make you behave."

Tsunade: "...!"

She suddenly felt a sense of danger. Just as she was about to take action. Suddenly, she met Natsuo's eyes.

The next second, she felt dizzy, and before she could react, her body was firmly grabbed...

Natsuo's patience had run out at this point.

He understood Tsunade's anger, so he had been giving in all along.

But that didn't mean he was going to let her continue like this as long as she wanted. Furthermore she is a medical-nin, if she had not wanted to have the child, she would have been able to take action right after the incident.

But now that her rampage almost involved his son, although much of it is Anko's fault, it's time to stop this charade.

So Natsuo directly used the Genjutsu: Sharingan, taking advantage of the moment when Tsunade was suppressed by the Genjutsu, he rushed forward and tightly bound her.

Tsunade quickly regained consciousness from the Genjutsu, her face full of anger.

"You have a lot of nerve, daring to attack the Hokage!"

"Not only do I dare to attack the Hokage, I dare to do other things too!" Natsuo snorted: "Hokage-sama should be careful, don't beg for mercy later."

"Beg for mercy?!" Tsunade seemed to have heard a particularly funny joke: "Are you talking about me? Do you think the esteemed Hokage would beg for mercy from you?"

Natsuo: "How would you know if you don't try?"

Tsunade: "Delusional!"

Natsuo: "Very good, I hope you can maintain that attitude until the end..."

Saying that, he carried Tsunade into the bedroom.

"Wait! What do you want to do?!" Tsunade became a little panicked and shouted angrily: "Bastard! Let me go!"

One hour later.

"You dare to attack the Hokage? It's treason, I will kill you!"

Two hours later.

"Kid! I will definitely kill you! Kill you!"

Three hours later.

"Damn evil Uchiha! Grandfather was right! When Uchiha Itachi was killing people back then, how could he forget about you?!"

Five hours later.

"Damn it! Are you a beast?"

Ten hours later.

Utatane Koharu, Mitokado Homura, Jiraiya, Kakashi, and others wanted to see Tsunade urgently, but they didn't see her at all.

They waited for a long time and did not see Tsunade return, so they actively followed Tsunade's footsteps and tracked her to the Uchiha clan residence.

When they were about to enter the main residence of the Uchiha clan, they heard the sounds of gasping and stifled moans, the sound was melodious and pleasant...

Everyone: "...?!"

...

After a while Tsunade met the people who came to look for her at the Uchiha clan residence.

Tsunade was so upset her teeth were gnashing. But after her daughter was born, she had also considered this situation so although she felt various emotions towards Natsuo, such as anger, it was more of a superficial resistance, deep down in her heart she had accepted Natsuo. Although she wouldn't admit it easily.

But when she felt Natsuo's gaze, she instinctively stepped back, while saying to herself: 'This was too much! Fighting for ten hours straight! Is this guy an animal?'

Who wouldn't panic when facing such an enemy? However, as Hokage, she finally forced himself to maintain a dignified and elegant demeanor, looking at Natsuo from a high position and said: "You have great fighting strength and, in this war, please serve Konoha well and don't do anything like hide your true strength."

"Do you understand, leader of the Uchiha clan?"

Natsuo said nodding: "Ah...Yes, yes, everything Hokage-sama said is correct. I was petty before."

Tsunade was still feeling uncomfortable with the situation, so after discussing some trivial matters, she dismissed Kakashi and the others.

Today, she didn't plan to leave. Mainly because her body was weak, and she felt truly exhausted. And she did not want to continue dealing with the affairs of the village. 

So she planned to use the excuse of 'Konoha Village lacks military funds, the Fifth Hokage is preparing to have a night-long conversation with the Uchiha clan leader, hoping that the Uchiha clan can lend a hand to the village'.

However, after everyone left, her expression changed, and she solemnly spoke to Natsuo.

"Was it you who took action against the Third Hokage?"

Natsuo smiled faintly, took a sip of tea, and remained silent.

"I see." Tsunade sighed bitterly. "As expected..."

A powerful Kage-level expert and the leader of a clan, why would he hide his true strength?

How could someone like him not be able to uncover the true situation behind the destruction of his own clan?

Almost everyone at the Kage level is decisive and ruthless. How could a man like him not have any thoughts after discovering the plan to destroy Konoha?

"But I suppose it was his own doing, right?" Tsunade sighed lightly.

Killing the Hokage is definitely wrong, but you also have to consider the person's identity!

As the Hokage, Tsunade has the right to know the true circumstances of the Uchiha clan's annihilation!

You killed his entire clan, and now he has only killed you...

Tsunade can only lament that her own teacher brought this upon himself and cannot live, and then figure out how to use Natsuo's strength to protect the village.

After all, she can understand Natsuo's actions towards the Third Hokage...

When Nawaki died back then, she almost really went after the Third Hokage and Danzō.

And now, if she weren't the Fifth Hokage and couldn't do certain things for the sake of the village...

She would directly go after Danzō!

Tsunade shook her head, her twin ponytails swaying with her head. Her fine hair carried a captivating fragrance as it scattered in the wind.

Tsunade took a deep breath, her eyes no longer filled with anger. Or rather, as the Hokage, Tsunade understands very well what she should do now.

"Natsuo, the village needs funds." Tsunade said in a deep voice. "Ten billion, I won't hold you accountable for what you did before."

It is unclear if she is referring to the incident in which Natsuo killed the Third Hokage or the incident in which Natsuo imposed himself on her.

Tsunade smiled slightly. Tsunade seemed fierce and aggressive. But as the Hokage, she never prioritized personal matters over official duties.

In the end, compared to her personal honor and disgrace, she valued the village that the First and Second Hokage were proud of more.

"Alright." Natsuo nodded. "I will begin to mobilize the funds, but it is too large an amount so I will give you the funds in parts in a reasonable time."

'So readily?' Tsunade blinked her eyes. She had already made a big demand, and she thought there would be a negotiation, but Natsuo agreed without hesitation. 'It seems that I underestimated the financial resources of the Uchiha clan. Did I set the price too low...?'

But since they had already agreed, she wouldn't go back on her word.

"If I still want to obtain funds from the Uchiha clan, is that possible?" Tsunade asked tentatively.

The village had a large funding gap, including compensation for the ninjas, funds for village reconstruction, and military funding for external wars...

Although Konoha was really rich, but when she took over the village the first thing, she noticed was that the finances were a disaster.

She still doesn't know how much is the fault of her master and his group of 'friends'.

Natsuo replied: "That's possible, but it won't be without conditions."

Tsunade asked: "What do you want? On behalf of Konoha, I hope to receive another ten billion in financial assistance."

Natsuo didn't hesitate and said: "I want you to bear my child."

Tsunade: "...!"

'Is he trying to force the Hokage to sell herself?'
