" .... "
The atmosphere immediately turned tense.
Danzo was so confident that one more push and he would be able to at least weaken Tsunade's position.
But now, it seemed the situation had been turned back on him.
He didn't know how Tsunade was able to know about this thing, but one thing is for sure, he must not be discovered, or it will be the end for him.
" Tsunade, we are still talking about you, so can you please not shift the topic away?"
Danzo tried to keep his calm. However, the more he tried to shift the topic, the more Tsunade could feel that there was something wrong with this.
For some reason, her instinct as a woman kept telling her to get to the bottom of the topic.
The moment everyone shifted their attention to Danzo, Tsunade decided to pull something.
It might be considered crazy, but for this one, she decided to trust Sanada.
She used activated total concentration breathing, and with a swift, she disappeared from her current seat.
" Fast...."
At this exact moment, almost everyone was late to react.
In fact, even Jiraiya believed that he would not be able to tolerate this speed without his sage mode.
Tsunade reappeared right in front of Danzo, and her hand was ready to strike at Danzo's bandaged eyes.
" Damn Tsunade, what are-"
*Screech*
Before Danzo could even finish his words, Tsunade had already torn open the bandage in his eyes.
Everyone was actually shocked by this act of Tsunade, and the two Counselors were ready to scold Tsunade as they felt Tsunade had done an impolite act toward her elder.
However, when they saw the shocked face in both Hiruzen's and Jiraiya's faces, they knew there was something amiss here.
Out of curiosity, the two counselors also turned their attention to Danzo, who now used his hand to cover one of his eyes.
" Danzo, speak, what do you mean by this!"
Yup, just now, the situation was reversed.
The predator became the prey, and Danzo was in a very pitted situation.
But very worthy of Danzo, even in a time like this, he was still very calm.
" This is a gift from one of my trusted subordinates. Before he died, he told me to use his eye to see the world and protect Konoha. For that kind of request, I would be impolite if I were to refuse, wouldn't I?"
A really irrefutable argument.
Since all the Uchihas except Sasuke were dead anyway, the other people here could only let Danzo go.
Still, it wasn't without any benefits to Tsunade.
After this, Danzo quickly withdrew, saying that he had some matters to attend, and Tsunade was free from the questioning of the old geezer.
Tsunade sat back on her seat and sighed relief. Nonetheless, it had given birth to a question on his mind.
Just how could Sanada know things like this?
The situation in Konoha turned back to its previous situation.
But everyone in this room knows that it would only be a temporary situation. The Pandora box had been opened, and the storm was already brewing.
The storm would soon envelop Konoha, and nobody knew how this storm would impact Konoha later.
. . . . . .
In the meantime, the perpetrator of all this, Kaedehara Sanada was actually enjoying his time in Kirigakure, fishing with Hibachi and Karin.
" Yosh, this is my second fish for today!"
Sanada shouted full of excitement as he pulled the rod in his hand.
Seeing this, Hibachi and Karin could only shake their head helplessly.
For some reason, their Sensei seemed to be different since leaving Konoha. It felt like... he was more free?
Not that they complained, though. They could see the refreshed face of their Sensei, and they also became happy for him.
However, there was one thing that troubled the two of them.
" Sensei.. until when will we stay here?"
Karin said while dodging Sanada's eyes.
Even though she pretty much enjoyed her vacation here, she also had started to miss Konoha.
The last few months in Konoha had been the best time in her life, and it couldn't be helped if she started to have the feeling of belonging to Konoha.
" Hmm? Why? Do you want to quickly return to Konoha to marry Hibachi?"
"Sensei!!!" x2
Two people immediately shouted at Sanada as Sanada displayed a funny look.
Well, after staying for a few days with them, it was clear that there was something special between the two of them, and if Sanada wasn't wrong, it wouldn't be long until Konoha got it next generation of Uzumaki.
Oh, talking of Uzumaki, there was another reason why Sanada had brought Karin here.
The matter of delegation had long been finished, and Kiri had agreed to become Konoha's ally.
Sanada also had begun to slowly spread his wing in Kiri.
For Kiri, Sanada decided to take another approach from Suna.
He continued as a merchant and sold a lot of foreign specialties here in Kiri.
And for Kiri, who has been closed for so long Sanada selling foreign specialties seemed to be like a breath of fresh air to them, and it had made Sanada's pamor increase to a whole new level.
Not long after, a figure appeared behind Sanada, Karin and Hibachi. But from the look of it, it seemed that his arrival had long been expected by Sanada.
" You are late you know, Chojuro?"
