Watching Kazuki move further away, even bandaging his wounds, it seemed he had given up trying to persuade her.

With no fresh blood to threaten her, Tsunade, whose hemophobia was gradually subsiding, was somewhat stunned.

No, where is this going?

I just threw out some tough words, and now you're leaving?

What happened to the attitude you had when you were insulting me just now?

"Wait."

Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Tsunade called out.

"Has Tsunade-hime changed her mind?"

Kazuki turned around in surprise.

"You wish!"

Tsunade's face darkened, and she cut in sharply:

"I just want to ask, is the situation between the village and the Uchiha really as dire as you say?"

"Worse than I said."

Kazuki shook his head:

"Under the village's long-term pressure and various surveillance, the Uchiha have suffered a lot of unfair treatment. Long-term pressure has led some clansmen to unite and form a hardline faction aiming for a coup. Currently, the hardliners' momentum has reached its peak."

"Like dry firewood, as long as there's a spark, it can explode at any moment."

"Whether the village strikes first or the clan's hardliners act first, the end result will be mutually assured destruction. The Uchiha won't fare well, and might even face extinction, but the village won't fare well either, given the Uchiha's strength."

"You're exaggerating."

Tsunade approached Kazuki, who was wary of her, fearing she might suddenly attack, and couldn't help rolling her eyes.

"Even if the hardliners are willing to stage a coup, not everyone will follow them."

If it were really as dangerous as Kazuki said, the coup would have happened long ago. Tsunade wasn't sure about other things, but she understood Uchiha Fugaku pretty well.

Given Fugaku's temperament, he wouldn't allow the hardliners to wreak havoc.

So what Kazuki said is probably highly unlikely.

"Hahaha, under a collapsed nest, how can there be any unbroken eggs left? Once the hardliners launch a coup, do you think the Uchiha still have a chance?"

Kazuki couldn't help laughing. The likelihood was small, but did it make a difference?

Once the hardliners act, it's the end for the Uchiha.

"In addition to the hardliners who want a coup, there's also a mysterious masked man who claims to be Uchiha Madara, as well as Shimura Danzō who's always causing trouble, inciting discord. At this rate, the conflict between the Uchiha and the village is only a matter of time."

"Perhaps I shouldn't have expected anything from you. Instead of relying on a woman who doesn't care about her clan's heritage and glory, it's better to think about what to do to prevent the Uchiha from being wiped out."

"You damned brat, that's enough!!!"

Tsunade's blood pressure began to rise.

He keeps saying I don't care about my clan's heritage and glory. How does he know I don't care about these things?

Damn it, he's making me so angry!

"Fine~ Fine~" Kazuki waved his hand:

"Saying these things is meaningless. Let's go, we should head back. But Tsunade-hime needs to first figure out how much she needs to compensate."

"Tsk tsk tsk, such a domineering presence. One kick and you've destroyed a whole street. I hope these people don't run to Konoha to complain, otherwise Tsunade-hime will be burdened with even more debt."

"....."

Did I really just destroy a whole street?

Tsunade's face turned green.

Compensating for a whole street... no matter how she looked at it, it was more frightening than the gambling debts she had accumulated.

Oh no!!!

It was at this moment that Tsunade realized she was in deep trouble. Kazuki hadn't hit her, but she had needlessly incurred a massive debt.

As she thought of the people whose homes were destroyed running to Konoha to complain, Tsunade's heart sank.

Wait, why should I have to pay?

This isn't solely my fault!!!

This debt can't just be left to Uchiha Kazuki!

It's all his fault. If he hadn't said those hurtful things, why would I have lost my temper?

"Stop!!!"

Seeing Kazuki getting further and further away, and not heading back to the town, Tsunade suddenly panicked. Kazuki was trying to escape!!

Only an idiot would stop.

I'm not rich. Why should I stay and pay?

As Tsunade spoke, Kazuki decisively quickened his pace.

He wasn't planning to return to the town. If the residents whose homes were destroyed want compensation, they can find him. Kazuki didn't care.

Apart from compensating for the houses, the damaged goods weren't good, and there were various injuries... hopefully no one died.

The Art of Body Flicker Technique is really terrifying.

"Jiraiya-sama, should we just run?"

Shizune thought it would be best for them to run away early. If they really stayed, the angry residents would definitely kill them.

"I also think leaving directly is a good idea, but we can't leave. We have to save people."

Jiraiya-sama also wanted to run, but he didn't dare.

Tsunade caused trouble, and he needed help wiping his ass, as well as having Shizune, a medical ninja.

As long as no one dies, that's good. As for the damaged goods and houses, they can only be compensated at a price.

Just thinking about compensation made Jiraiya-sama's heart ache as if he couldn't breathe.

His wallet would be drained.

"Tsunade is killing me."

Shizune frowned and treated the injured residents, while Itachi and Jiraiya-sama helped out, saving people and moving things around. Among them, Jiraiya-sama also needed to calculate the losses and prepare for compensation.

Kazuki flew all the way, quickly leaving the scene.

What he didn't expect was that Tsunade had actually followed him.

"Someone seems to have no money for compensation, so they're running away."

"....."

Damn this brat. I really want to shut his mouth!!

Tsunade's blood pressure started rising uncontrollably again. Although what Kazuki said was true, didn't it hurt her pride?

If I had money, why would I run away? I would just apologize and pay.

But... who will clean up this mess?

Thinking of the compensation for a whole street, Tsunade had a headache.

Shizune can save people, that brat named Itachi and Jiraiya-sama can help with the aftermath, but compensation?

Tsunade admitted that Jiraiya-sama made a lot of money, but compensating for a whole street is not something one person can bear.

I'm afraid that Jiraiya-sama would be bankrupt.

Even if it's not a bustling street, it's still a lot to enjoy.

Just running away like this would be unkind. If others run to Konoha or to Daimyo to complain, the situation will only get worse.

Tired from running, Kazuki stopped running.

He casually threw a shuriken, picked up the wild rabbit he caught, found a place with water, and prepared to eat something to fill his stomach.

Kazuki stopped running, and Tsunade also stopped, sitting aside lost in thought.

Even Tsunade has days like this?

She's probably agonizing over how to compensate for so much money.
