"The Memorial Stone!!?"
"Are they heading for the Memorial Stone?"
Looking in the direction Sora and the others were going, Tsunade and the others were very surprised.
"It seems so, Tsunade-sama. Look, doesn't Kushina-sama have chrysanthemums in her hand?" Kurenai said to Tsunade.
"Chrysanthemums!!?" Hearing Kurenai's words, Tsunade also noticed what Kushina was holding.
However, after seeing what Kushina held, Tsunade noticed even more.
"Those chrysanthemums aren't from just anywhere… they're from the Yamanaka Flower Shop!" Tsunade said gravely.
"Yamanaka Flower Shop!!?" Hearing Tsunade's words, the nearby Kurenai was very puzzled, not understanding why Tsunade specifically mentioned this.
And there was another issue.
"Chrysanthemums are available everywhere, Tsunade-sama. How can you be sure they're from the Yamanaka Flower Shop?"
"Because I've bought them, many times, right after returning to the village!" Tsunade answered bluntly: "And the famous Yamanaka Flower Shop of Konoha... I observed them carefully when I got them."
"Through years of the Yamanaka Clan's selection and cultivation, the chrysanthemums from the Yamanaka Flower Shop have vibrant colors and relatively large petals. Even though they're chrysanthemums, they always give a bit of a sunflower impression."
"So, I can confirm those chrysanthemums are from the Yamanaka Flower Shop."
Tsunade explained seriously: "As for why I think there's a problem with them being from there..."
"Because Kushina can practically be considered my younger sister. I know she was friends with Yamanaka Rino and that group."
"Meaning the person before us is indeed Kushina, and Kushina's identity has been confirmed by Rino."
"Bu then, Rino didn't report this to us."
"Between the village and her friend, it seems Rino chose her friend." Tsunade said.
However, hearing Tsunade's words, Kurenai still didn't understand.
Looking at Kurenai's confused red eyes, Tsunade sighed.
She had previously considered grooming Kurenai for important roles, but it seemed this Genjutsu Specialist Jonin was strong in Genjutsu but lacked some tempering in understanding people's hearts!
But that was normal. After all, Yuhi Shinku, despite his great reputation, died too early!
Remembering the days of fighting alongside Shinku, Tsunade gave a hint: "Kurenai, you're also a teacher for this graduating class. So, do you remember Naruto?"
"Naruto!!?" Hearing Tsunade's words, Kurenai recalled. She looked at the nearby Kakashi: "Isn't he Kakashi's student?"
"Hinata in my team really likes that little guy Naruto. To be honest, Naruto is an interesting person."
Thinking of Naruto, Kurenai smiled. Her impression of Naruto was good.
But Kurenai failed to notice.
After Tsunade said this, the expression of the nearby Kakashi suddenly changed.
No longer with his previous lost and despondent look, Kakashi clearly remembered something that posed a huge problem for him!
"Tsunade-sama, do you mean..." Kakashi looked at Tsunade in disbelief.
"That's exactly what I mean!" Tsunade nodded gravely.
Seeing Tsunade's attitude, instantly, Kakashi's face turned ashen: "Then I... sigh... I have no words to face Sensei's wife."
Kakashi let out a long sigh and lowered his proud head.
Seeing this, Kurenai, the nearby Asuma, and even Guy were bewildered.
If Kakashi's previous dead-fish-eye state was just slacking off, Kakashi's current state was one of utter despair from the depths of his heart. They all wondered what was going on.
Exchanging a glance with Kurenai, Asuma couldn't help but ask: "Tsunade-sama, what on earth does this mean?!?"
"Yes, Tsunade-sama!" Kurenai and Guy chimed in one after another.
Hearing their questions, Tsunade shook her head helplessly, giving Asuma a disappointed glare.
"Asuma… Kurenai and Guy might not know, but don't you know?" Tsunade scolded him without mincing words: "Do you think you're any better off than Kakashi?"
In Tsunade's view, if Kushina was really acting as she suspected, Asuma would be even worse off than Kakashi!
After all, the sins of the father would be bear by the son.
But clearly, Asuma was still completely in the dark at this moment.
Hearing Tsunade's words, Asuma grew even more confused!
"No, what do you mean? Tsunade-sama, what exactly is going on? Just give it to me straight, please!"
Asuma pleaded for clarity.
And he got exactly what he asked for.
"Hmph!" Tsunade snorted coldly and continued: "Let me remind you all. Over the years, under the Third Hokage's rule, the treatment of Uzumaki Naruto within Konoha… as the Fourth's orphan, the village's hero, and the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki!"
Bringing this up reminded her of past events, and Tsunade gave Asuma another cold look: "Asuma, I am the old man's student, so I can be considered your senior sister."
"But, your senior sister has to say this: That old man did some truly despicable things!"
"Things that are contemptible! Even disgusting! Both physically and psychologically."
