Chapter 329

"Lady Tsunade."

Kakashi Hatake's tone, as always, didn't have much emotional change.

"Why are Itachi standing outside?"

Tsunade asked curiously.

"They are mother and son reuniting, it's not good for us to disturb."

Kitazawa replied.

"That's true."

Tsunade nodded slightly and said: "In that case, come with me to see the Hokage."

With a bang.

Tsunade kicked open the door of the Hokage's office.

"Is the mission completed?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked with a normal expression.

Having had his door kicked too many times, he was already used to it.

"Kitazawa."

Tsunade waved her hand and said: "Itachi come and report the mission."

"Yes."

Kitazawa stepped forward and recounted everything that happened over the past few days.

"Itachi killed three jonin and three chunin from the Hidden Stone Village?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt surprised after hearing it.

"What's there to be surprised about?"

Tsunade said casually: "Kakashi and Kitazawa are both elites among jonin; dealing with three ordinary jonin is not a big problem."

Has Kitazawa's strength reached this point?

Hiruzen Sarutobi found that he had made an impression-based mistake.

But it can't be blamed on him.

It's mainly because Kitazawa's version updates too fast.

In Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind, he was first a teacher with excellent teaching skills, and only later a jonin who learned ninjutsu like the Rasengan.

"Alright, the mission is over, take your Anbu back."

Tsunade paused and said: "Also, keep Danzo Shimura in check; I don't want to see him targeting Nonou again."

"Rest assured, definitely not."

Hiruzen Sarutobi guaranteed.

After all, he is the Hokage and can perfectly suppress Danzo Shimura in terms of power.

It's just that he has always turned a blind eye.

The Hidden Leaf Village is one of the five major ninja villages, and sometimes it needs unconventional means.

It's inconvenient for the Hokage to do it, so it's handed over to Danzo Shimura and his Root.

"I have designated this mission as S-rank."

Tsunade continued: "If Itachi have no objections, issue the reward according to the rules."

"Involving jonin from the Hidden Stone Village, it should indeed be designated as S-rank."

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought for a moment and said: "As for the mission reward, it is set at 1. million ryo."

"Okay."

Tsunade didn't say much.

The reward for an ordinary S-rank mission is 1 million ryo, so this is 200, 00 ryo more.

"Lord Hokage."

Kitazawa took out a summoning storage scroll and said: "These are the corpses of the six Hidden Stone Village ninja."

"Very good."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded with satisfaction and said: "Itachi did well."

The corpses of three Hidden Stone Village jonin can be said to be of great value.

If lucky, they can also obtain secrets of the Hidden Stone Village.

"In addition to the 1. million ryo mission reward, Itachi are also specially permitted to choose one A-rank ninjutsu."

Hiruzen Sarutobi ordered: "Kakashi, Itachi and Kitazawa go to the Anbu to collect the mission reward now."

"Yes."

Kakashi Hatake responded immediately.

Kitazawa reacted; this is to send them away.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Tsunade probably want to talk about some confidential matters.

But regardless, having one more A-rank ninjutsu is a huge profit.

He plans to wash the Darkness Jutsu this time.

If he could use the Darkness Jutsu while fighting the Hidden Stone Village jonin, he would be confident in ending the battle faster.

"Kitazawa, don't leave after collecting the mission reward; wait for me at the Anbu office."

Tsunade thought of something and said.

"Okay."

Kitazawa was slightly startled and agreed.

After speaking, he and Kakashi Hatake left the Hokage's office.

"Old man, if Itachi have anything to say, say it quickly, don't delay my time."

Tsunade said unceremoniously.

"Look at Itachi..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly stopped.

"Lord Hokage."

Anbu ninja Haru knocked on the door and walked in, saying: "Lord Danzo will be here soon."

"I know, Itachi go down first."

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled after she left and said: "Danzo is probably here to hold us accountable."

"Hold us accountable? Does he have the qualifications?"

Tsunade asked with disdain.

A few seconds later, Danzo Shimura appeared.

He walked to Tsunade with a serious expression and unhurried pace.

"Hiruzen, I want to accuse Tsunade."

Danzo Shimura said slowly.

"Accuse me?"

Tsunade couldn't help but laugh and said: "Itachi really know how to reverse black and white."

"Kabuto Yakushi is a spy I planted in the Hidden Stone Village."

Danzo Shimura said in a deep voice: "But Tsunade sent people to forcibly bring him back, which destroyed years of the Root's hard work in one fell swoop!"

"Didn't Itachi sell Kabuto Yakushi's intelligence to the Hidden Stone Village?"

Tsunade asked rhetorically.

"That is slander!"

Danzo Shimura leaned on his cane and said righteously: "I would never betray the Hidden Leaf!"

"Then let me ask Itachi, was it Itachi who used the orphanage to coerce Nonou?"

Tsunade snorted coldly and asked.

"What coercion?"

Danzo Shimura narrowed his eyes slightly and explained: "I provide funds for the orphanage, and Nonou works for me voluntarily."

"Nonsense!"

Tsunade's expression sank and she asked: "The orphanage is an institution of the Hidden Leaf, when is it your turn to provide funds?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt slightly embarrassed upon hearing this.

Under normal circumstances, he should be the one allocating funds to the Hidden Leaf Orphanage.

But after Danzo Shimura meddled, it became Root funding.

"Let this matter end here."

Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but speak.

He was worried that if they continued talking, more of Danzo Shimura's problems would be involved.

It would be troublesome if Tsunade pursued it at that time.

"Let's not mention this matter for now."

Danzo Shimura looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi and said: "Kabuto Yakushi is a Root member; since he has returned to the village, he should return to the Root."

"Kabuto Yakushi is a medical ninja, he should be under my management!"

Tsunade said decisively: "The Hidden Leaf Hospital is more suitable for him than the Root!"

"Tsunade is right."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said seriously: "Medical ninja are already scarce; neither he nor Nonou need to return to the Root."

"Hiruzen!"

Danzo Shimura gripped his cane tightly, his body trembling slightly.

This old partner who is usually very tolerant of him, is now actually joining forces with Tsunade to bully him?
