Tsunade wished she could pin Shizune down on the table and spank her just to vent.
Just when Yan was about to compliment Shizune, the already bad girl stabbed him with a remark:
"After all, Yan has already been after her, right? Hokage-sama, have you forgotten?"
Tsunade: "....."
Yan: "...."
That night, Shizune was left alone in the Hokage office, pitiful and ignored.
Meanwhile, just a moment ago, Tsunade, who was furious and ready to kill Yan, was now casually strolling with him to the barbecue restaurant.
Poor little secretary, she was targeted by both the Hokage and her assistant, so her extra barbecue treat was off the table.
"Can you please deliver this to the Hokage office for Shizune?"
At the barbecue place, Yan packed the grilled meat into a takeout box and asked the staff to deliver it to the Hokage building to satisfy Shizune's cravings and fill her stomach.
"You've got a bit of conscience, I'll give you that. Shizune has been thinking about you,"
Tsunade said, her face flushed from drinking a lot. She gave Yan an approving look.
Yan ignored Tsunade and put the meat the waiter brought onto the grill.
Tsunade was busy drinking and eating, so expecting her to grill meat was just a fantasy.
"Do you think this joint effort from the five great ninja villages can get rid of the Akatsuki?"
While eating barbecue, Tsunade couldn't help but voice her doubts.
"It's tough."
Putting down his chopsticks, wiping his mouth, and taking a sip of juice from the table, Yan shook his head confidently:
"The Akatsuki isn't as simple as it looks. Just look at Amegakure Village and the other members. They're just a few rogue S-rank ninjas, and they can't stir up much trouble! What's really scary about this organization is their leader."
As long as Nagato is well-prepared, the Six Paths of Pain definitely has the strength to take down a ninja village.
And this is against the five great ninja villages dealing with the Akatsuki.
The five great villages can't send everyone out; Yan wasn't sure what the outcome would be.
In any case, it's clear that there won't be any benefits for them.
Fortunately, Konohagakure is just there to cheer them on, with the main forces being Kumogakure Village and Iwagakure Village.
No matter how many people these two villages lose, Yan won't feel sorry for them.
"The power of the Rinnegan is definitely beyond our expectations. At least this time, Konohagakure is just playing a supporting role. If things look bad, we can just pull back."
"Can the Akatsuki really stand up to the five great ninja villages?"
Tsunade didn't believe that.
But how many of Yan's words could be false?
Tsunade had no choice but to take him seriously.
"You'll find out when the time comes. I think you'll be glad the village didn't get too involved; this time, the other villages might end up suffering."
"By the way, are you going to this joint operation?"
"I'm not going."
After thinking for a moment, Tsunade shook her head decisively:
"I'll stay in the village; you can handle things outside. Didn't we already divide the work between us?
There's too much going on in the village right now, and I don't have the energy to focus on that."
Hokage is always busy; that's how it's been for every Hokage.
Just look at the Third Hokage and Naruto—they were so busy they didn't even have time to eat dinner with their wives.
Tsunade was no different. Fortunately, after handing off external matters to Yan, she felt a lot lighter.
Although the Third Hokage wasn't too happy with this decision, Tsunade was not someone he could easily sway.
After failing to convince her, the Third Hokage acted like he didn't know anything and stayed home to relax.
"Is it 'the man handles outside affairs, and the woman manages inside'?"
Yan couldn't help but laugh:
"Such a serious matter sounds like you two are just dividing chores at home."
"....."
You really want to get hit, huh?
The veins on Tsunade's forehead bulged again.
"Brat, don't think I won't give you a chance. If you dare to admit it, I'll take you on!
Do you dare?"
You keep teasing me, always bringing up my age.
Do you really think I'm made of iron?
"Are you serious?"
Tsunade was drunk.
Hearing this, Yan knew she was pretty far gone.
Looking at the bottles on the table, he realized she was definitely tipsy.
Otherwise, Tsunade wouldn't normally say such provocative things.
"Let's go!"
Without caring whether the bottle broke, Tsunade tossed it aside and wrapped an arm around Yan's neck, pulling him outside.
"Hokage-sama, and the advisor..."
As they stepped out of the private room, they bumped into the staff of the barbecue restaurant. Seeing them like this didn't surprise anyone; with a smile, they asked,
"Excuse me..."
"Just put it on my tab. Hokage-sama is drunk."
"Sure, have a good night!"
Yan was a regular at the barbecue place, and it was common for him to keep a tab; they never worried about him skipping out on the bill.
"Are you serious?"
Back at home, Yan wanted Tsunade to let go.
But she was dragging him straight to the bedroom with incredible strength; he couldn't break free.
A woman practicing strength techniques is indeed powerful.
Her strength was beyond what an ordinary person could handle.
"Quickly, don't say a word."
Tsunade yanked Yan into the bedroom and kicked the door shut.
"???"
The next day, Tsunade showed up at the Hokage office with heavy dark circles under her eyes.
Shizune kindly brewed some hot tea for her:
"Did Hokage-sama not sleep well last night? Did you drink too much? Here, have some hot tea."
"Sleep, my foot."
After having a fight with Uchiha Yan, which lasted quite a while, she barely lay down before the sun came up!
As a responsible Hokage, Tsunade could only drag her tired body to work.
After sipping some hot tea, she felt a bit better and muttered to herself.
"What did Hokage-sama say?"
Noticing Tsunade's lips moving, Shizune tilted her head in confusion.
Tsunade paused and shook her head:
"Nothing. I just said that Yan got what he deserved last night, and finally learned his lesson."
"....."
Shizune, not fully understanding, smiled innocently:
"I hope you didn't break the house."
"....."
What puzzled Shizune was that for some time after, it seemed Yan and Tsunade rarely had conflicts.
Yan didn't snap back at Tsunade, and her temper had calmed down a lot.
Could fighting actually help stabilize emotions?
Shizune's little mind couldn't quite figure out what was going on.
Kumogakure Village acted quickly, giving the money and immediately turning to persuade the other villages.
While the other villages were hesitating, they pushed Konohagakure forward.
Among the five great ninja villages, both Kumogakure Village and Konohagakure agreed to take action against the Akatsuki. So, what are you still hesitating about?
After internal discussions, the other villages finally accepted Kumogakure Village's invitation.
Thus, the joint action of the five great ninja villages was set.
A joint action means there needs to be a meeting of the five Kages.
Tsunade really didn't want to participate in this meeting.
She could leave other matters to Yan, but if she didn't show up for the Kage Summit, it would attract criticism.
So Tsunade decided to attend the Kage Summit with Yan.
After the meeting ended, she would return to the village.
The remaining matters would be handled by Yan.
