[Tsunade's Ho]
Aoba and Shizune had already finished preparing dinner, waiting for Tsunade to return.
"Aoba, if you're hungry, just go ahead and eat first. Who knows when Lady Tsunade will be back."
Shizune glanced at the dishes on the table. If they didn't eat soon, they might get cold.
Aoba shook his head and said, "Let's wait a little longer."
He was thinking at the mont, and a suspicion had already ford in his heart.
During this ti period, Shimura Danzo would take Root mbers and make a move on soone in the forest, and suffer heavy losses.
There could only be one target of that move.
Uchiha Shisui.
Recalling this event in the original work, Aoba felt a bit of a headache.
First, the Uchiha clan planned to launch a coup.
Then, on the eve of the coup, Uchiha Shisui went to et Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo.
He even told them about the Uchiha clan's coup information, his own Mangekyō Sharingan, and the eye technique of the Mangekyō Sharingan.
At that ti, he even revealed his plan: to use Kotoamatsukami to control Uchiha Fugaku and stop the Uchiha clan's coup.
It's hard to say whether Uchiha Shisui was just too straightforward or too naive.
He didn't hide it at all and directly said that his eye could invade another person's brain and change their will without them noticing.
Wasn't this openly telling Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo that, as long as he wanted to, he could control them anyti?
So as soon as he left, Shimura Danzo secretly followed.
In the end, relying on Izanagi, Shimura Danzo caught Uchiha Shisui off guard and snatched his right eye.
To avoid having his left eye taken, he entrusted it to Uchiha Itachi and then committed suicide.
And witnessing all of this, Uchiha Itachi successfully awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan.
However, the Uchiha clan's coup was indeed delayed for a while.
But looking at it now, in just another year or two, the night of the Uchiha clan's annihilation would arrive.
BANG!
The main door was pushed open forcefully, and Tsunade walked in with a grim expression.
It was obvious that she was in a bad mood.
But when she saw Aoba and Shizune sitting at the dinner table waiting for her, her expression softened quite a bit.
"Why didn't you eat first?", Tsunade asked as she changed her shoes.
"We were worried about you, so we didn't have much of an appetite."
Aoba looked worried, "Did sothing happen? Shizune-sis and I can help you think of a solution."
Shizune also looked at Tsunade with so concern.
Tsunade's expression froze slightly, then she suddenly laughed.
She walked up to Aoba and rubbed his little head with her hand.
"Adult matters, you little brat don't stick your nose in!"
The relationship between the Uchiha clan and the village was a lingering problem. Ever since Uchiha Madara left Konoha, it had been left unresolved.
Just like what Sarutobi Hiruzen said, she was now just a bystander, and had no qualifications to criticize the decisions of the higher-ups.
She was once again feeling like leaving Konoha.
As for the Hokage position or whatever, that was simply impossible for her.
Hemophobia had already bound her tightly.
If such a weakness were to be known by people from other villages, it would be a disaster for the entire village.
Aoba struggled to break free from Tsunade's claws and raised his small fist.
"Teacher, I'm not that young anymore. If we really fight, even Shizune-sis wouldn't be my match!"
Shizune: ?
'Why'd I suddenly get dragged into this?'
"I'm a dical ninja!", Shizune's face turned red. It was bad enough to be surpassed by a six-year-old, but now he had to say it out loud too? Can't a girl have so dignity?
"I'm a dical ninja too. And so is Teacher," Aoba answered truthfully.
Shizune: …
There was no need for her to stay in this household anymore.
Tsunade laughed. Joy doesn't disappear, it only transfers.
"In that case, Aoba, if your teacher were to leave Konoha, would you be willing to leave with ?"
"Lady Tsunade…", Shizune got anxious first, 'Days of not getting enough to eat, please don't let them co back.'
But before she could finish, Tsunade stopped her with a look.
Aoba fell silent after hearing that.
After a long while, he looked seriously at Tsunade, "Teacher, why do you want to leave Konoha?"
Tsunade snorted coldly, "Hmph, the higher-ups of the village are already full of vermin. I can't stay in a village like this!"
Aoba's eyes lit up, "Then Teacher is going to bring down Konoha? If that's the case, I'm the first to support you. Besides, I still have…"
Thud!
Before Aoba could finish, he was interrupted by a light punch from Tsunade.
However, this ti Tsunade didn't use force, she just tapped him lightly.
"Stop talking nonsense. Words that undermine unity, say them less in the future. Now answer , are you going with or not?"
Aoba was speechless, 'Who is the one who just said words that undermined unity?'
'Double standards!'
He shook his head, then nodded.
Tsunade's eyelids twitched, "Answer seriously!"
"I don't know either. If I don't go with Teacher, I might never see you again. But if I go with Teacher, I might never see my friends again," Aoba answered seriously.
Tsunade also fell silent. This was exactly what she was concerned about.
She had no attachnts in the village, but this little brat was different. She didn't want to leave him behind either.
Besides, if she wasn't around, and this kid one day revealed his Wood Release, he'd definitely be in a very dangerous situation.
"Teacher, if you think the current village has let you down, then why not beco Hokage and change it yourself?"
"As the granddaughter of the First Hokage, disciple of the Third Hokage, one of the Legendary Sannin, and the founder of Konoha's dical system, if Teacher wanted to beco Hokage, no one could stop you," Aoba spoke as if it was a matter of course, because it was the truth.
"You little brat's mouth is sweet today," Tsunade directly sat beside Aoba, leaning lazily against the backrest.
"In theory, there's no problem with that."
"It's just a pity—I'm not suitable to be Hokage."
"Why not suitable?", Aoba looked puzzled, "Is it because the Third Hokage disagrees?"
"That old man, I don't even know what he's thinking. Maybe he agrees," Tsunade recalled what Sarutobi Hiruzen had said to her in the Hokage building earlier. In that environnt, she couldn't tell what his intentions were.
"Have you heard of hemophobia?"
"Hemophobia? What's that?", Aoba pretended to be confused.
"It's a condition where you beco afraid just by seeing blood!"
Tsunade's mood suddenly soured. Talking about her weakness in front of her student, this was really a loss of face.
"So earlier this afternoon, when Teacher suddenly started trembling, it was because you saw blood?"
"Yeah, that's what it was," Tsunade looked a little dejected.
"Can't it be cured?"
"If it could be cured, wouldn't I have done that already?", Tsunade gave him a look like he was an idiot.
Aoba was speechless. He did know a way to cure it, but it might be a bit painful.
Not painful for Tsunade, but for him. If he got stabbed right in front of her, maybe her hemophobia would be cured.
