Chapter 129: As expected of my child

"Who else could it be? Of course, it’s those people from the Police Force!"

Tsunade Senju threw a large pile of dispute incident reports onto the table in annoyance.

Conservatively estimated, there are dozens of them.

They are all reports from civilians complaining about the Police Force.

Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye picked up a few to look at and soon knew what was going on.

It was nothing more than Danzo secretly implementing the policies of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, constantly driving a wedge between the Uchiha clan and the village.

Tobirama Senju established the Police Force and handed it over entirely to the Uchiha clan to manage.

It looks like trust in the Uchiha, but in fact, it was for this very moment.

Civil disputes are the hardest things to handle.

Everyone feels they are in the right and will not obey the judgment of the Police Force at all.

Naturally, the civilians who were punished or even imprisoned by the Police Force hated the Police Force because of this.

With the accumulation of small things into big ones, although the Police Force is not yet a street rat that everyone shouts to beat.

But their reputation among the villagers has plummeted to the point of being despised by thousands.

"There is no need to pay too much attention to this matter."

Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye put the reports away and continued to massage Tsunade Senju.

"Just let Danzo and the Uchiha clan bite each other."

"As long as they don't unite, they are not worth mentioning."

Even if they united, Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye wouldn't be afraid.

Just relying on the few people on Danzo’s side, and the Uchiha who are only left with arrogance?

It would be hard for them to even scrape together a Kage-level powerhouse if they united, while he has a bunch of Kage-level powerhouses here!

This is also the reason why Hiruzen Sarutobi is slacking off.

Besides the fact that Danzo’s daily behavior of wanting him to take the blame made Hiruzen Sarutobi very unhappy, he also saw the situation of Senju Senju Senju Senju Xingye’s power clearly.

Having grown accustomed to the days of riding the fence, Hiruzen Sarutobi’s judgment is actually very good.

At least he couldn't see any chance of winning on Danzo and the Uchiha’s side, so he simply slacked off.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have danced shamelessly in public that day.

Later, Hiruzen Sarutobi was also invited to the mansions of several nobles and made a fortune with that enchanting dance.

Now that he had bought a Senju villa with the money he’d earned, his daily life of leisure was extremely comfortable.

Danzo said bluntly: "Itachi have fallen!"

Upon hearing Senju Hoshiya’s words, Senju Tsunade’s eyes flickered slightly.

She simply hadn't paid attention, but once her husband said this, she quickly understood the ins and outs of the matter.

It still stemmed from her second granduncle.

"Sigh..."

"Why does Second Granduncle hate the Uchiha so much?"

Senju Tsunade couldn't figure it out no matter how she thought about it.

Although the Senju clan and the Uchiha clan were like fire and water before the village was built.

But since they had already worked together to find a path of peace in the chaotic world, why was the inside of the village like a pile of loose sand?

Senju Hoshiya smoothed out her furrowed brows for her.

"This is a problem left over by history; it’s not something we juniors need to consider."

"We just need to ensure the clan continues to survive."

Senju Tsunade straightened up and leaned back into Senju Hoshiya’s embrace.

"Itachi’ve worked hard. If it weren't for your efforts, I fear the Senju clan would have disappeared in our generation."

Senju Hoshiya smiled.

"Why are Itachi being so polite with me? We are all one family."

"Mm..."

Senju Tsunade responded, then closed her eyes and said nothing more.

…………

Back home.

Senju Hoshiya saw that Ye Cang was already able to get up and move around.

"Are Itachi leaving?"

He looked at the clothes Ye Cang was wearing, his brows slightly raised.

Seeing Senju Hoshiya’s face, Ye Cang blushed and subconsciously averted her gaze.

"Yes, thank Itachi for saving my life, but I must go and get a clear explanation from Rasa."

Senju Hoshiya sighed.

"Although I don't want to stop your choice, but..."

"Have Itachi really thought it through?"

"Since Itachi know this was done by Rasa, what do Itachi think Itachi will face after Itachi go back?"

Ye Cang was stunned, and her expression dimmed immediately.

At this moment, Senju Hoshiya took a bounty notice from his pocket and placed it in front of Ye Cang.

Ye Cang took one look, immediately snatched the bounty notice, and stared with wide eyes, full of disbelief.

"This is impossible... Why?!"

The person on the bounty notice was none other than her.

"Rasa was prepared long ago. I’m afraid that among the Hidden Sand ninja, Itachi are already a detestable traitor who abandoned the village's interests."

"If Itachi go back like this, Itachi will die."

Ye Cang still couldn't believe it.

"I was betrayed only today, he clearly..."

She suddenly froze, instantly understanding many things.

Why had the bounty notice already appeared when she had only been backstabbed by her subordinates today?

And given the distance between the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire, how could this bounty notice be in Senju Hoshiya’s hands?

A single day was simply not enough!

This was enough to show that this bounty order had been created several days ago.

Suddenly, Ye Cang thought of a possibility.

"Could it be that they only... because of this bounty notice?"

"...No."

Senju Hoshiya dispelled her thought.

"The bounty order only spread to the major ninja villages today."

"They couldn't have obtained this information in advance."

"Therefore, they must have been bribed by the Kazekage."

Ye Cang, who had still held a glimmer of hope, was now extremely disappointed.

She hadn't expected her subordinates to betray her so easily.

"If Itachi are determined to leave, I will not stop Itachi."

"But I still advise Itachi to stay here for a while."

"If Itachi want revenge, Itachi must at least survive, and then look for an opportunity."

After he finished speaking, he brushed past Ye Cang.

As for what choice Ye Cang made, that was her own business.

No matter what decision she made, Senju Hoshiya would respect her.

"Have I... nowhere left to go?"

Ye Cang said in a low voice, her expression dejected.

Just at this moment, raindrops fell from the sky, seemingly reflecting her current mood.

Overcast, with rain.

"Auntie, it's raining, here's an umbrella for Itachi."

Luffy held an oil-paper umbrella and handed it to Ye Cang, asking curiously.

"Why aren't Itachi using an umbrella, Auntie? Getting a cold from the rain will be very uncomfortable."

Ye Cang looked down at the delicate palm extended toward her by the two-year-old child, Luffy, and felt a bit dazed for a moment.

She crouched down, not taking the umbrella, but instead hugging Luffy tightly.

"Thank Itachi, thank Itachi..."

Tears streaked down her cheeks, mixing with the rain as they fell to the ground.

Luffy asked in confusion.

"Is Auntie crying? Is there something sad?"

"Tell Luffy, Luffy will help Itachi beat up the bad guys!"

"Luffy is very strong!"

Luffy said proudly, trying to comfort the crying adult in his own way.

But Ye Cang only hugged him tighter.

Under the eaves, Senju Hoshiya saw this scene, a faint smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

Worthy of being my child, truly excellent!
