Since he was already here.
How could he possibly leave?
Listening to Tsunade's words, Rokuro coughed and said, "I can't go back right now!"
Tsunade looked at Rokuro in confusion. "What do you mean? Is the old man not letting you go back?!"
Rokuro threw his hands out. "People from the Uchiha clan want to kill me, and they're currently blocking my way home. The old man told me to come find you so you could protect me on the way back!"
Hearing this from the side, Shizune exclaimed, "How is that possible? How could Lord Hokage allow such a thing to happen?!"
As soon as Shizune finished speaking, Tsunade glared at her. "Don't talk about these things here!"
Finished speaking.
Tsunade looked at Rokuro and said, "Take me to see your master. Don't talk about this here!"
Rokuro cast a glance at the people staring at them inside the tavern, nodded, and turned to lead the way. "Follow me, Master Kuro is over at the south exit!"
Tsunade and Shizune followed behind.
Once they walked out of the commercial street and entered the less populated residential area, Shizune couldn't help but ask Rokuro, "Rokuro, what you just said—is that all true?!"
Rokuro looked back at Shizune and said, "Why would I need to lie to you about this kind of thing? You'll know as soon as you look into it. Master Tsunade should also have her sources of information, right?!"
Tsunade didn't have her own information network.
But Konoha Village definitely did.
And as an important combat asset of Konoha Village, how could they possibly leave Tsunade outside without any supervision?
In fact, personnel from the Konoha Intelligence Department stationed in various regions frequently contacted Tsunade in secret.
Tsunade cast a glance at Rokuro and said to Shizune, "It's all thanks to the 'good deeds' of that old geezer, Danzo. This little brat being hunted is just taking the fall in Danzo's place."
Danzo?
Shizune didn't like Danzo either.
She looked at Tsunade hesitantly and said, "Even if Danzo did something wrong, the Uchiha clan shouldn't kill people from Konoha Village, right? Isn't doing this going a bit too far?!"
Tsunade said calmly, "Danzo killed Uchiha Shisui, that genius ninja of the Uchiha clan. The fact that the Uchiha clan hasn't rebelled is already giving Konoha Village a lot of face. Right now, they're only hunting down this little brat; this can be considered getting off lightly. I figure the old man also knows that if he doesn't let the Uchiha clan vent a little, they will rebel, which is why he's ignoring it!"
Hearing this, Shizune looked at Rokuro with some sympathy, while also unable to help but complain, "That old geezer Danzo never does any good deeds all day long, and he even drags a child into his mess!"
Tsunade didn't mind too much. She looked at Rokuro and said, "We don't need to involve ourselves in the village's matters; they have nothing to do with us. You shouldn't worry about them!"
Shizune froze for a moment. She looked at Rokuro and asked, "Then Lady Tsunade, are we going to escort him back?!"
Tsunade looked at Shizune like she was an idiot. "You actually believe what this smelly brat says? There's absolutely no way the old man would ask me to escort him back to Konoha. He's definitely spouting nonsense!"
Uh!
Shizune felt somewhat awkward. She glared at Rokuro and said, "You little brat, you actually dared to lie to me!"
Rokuro cast a glance at Shizune and curled his lip. "What do you mean, 'lie'? Shouldn't seniors like you protect a Konoha genius like me? Escorting me home isn't exactly a huge deal. What's wrong with escorting me a bit? You won't lose a piece of meat over it!"
Shizune became somewhat exasperated. "Thank goodness Lady Tsunade refused to take a smelly brat like you as a disciple last time. As expected, you're no good, already knowing how to lie at such a young age."
Tsunade patted Shizune on the shoulder. "Alright, don't let a little brat control your pace. Ninjas shouldn't be swayed by emotions. Just pretend this little brat doesn't exist!"
Shizune looked at Rokuro and snorted coldly. "Truly an annoying brat. Don't even think about becoming my junior brother!"
Rokuro curled his lip. "If I can't be your junior brother, then forget it. I'll just be your man instead. Once I grow up, I'll marry you as my second wife. What do you think, Big Sister Shizune?!"
Shizune was driven mad with anger.
This smelly brat was too detestable.
Being so perverted at such a young age, and even asking her to be his second wife—it was simply going too far.
Unable to hold back, Shizune wanted to teach Rokuro a lesson, but before she could make a move, Tsunade stopped her, saying, "Alright, you can't beat this kid. He's not simple. If you try to look for trouble with him, I estimate you'll only bring humiliation upon yourself!"
Shizune was somewhat stunned. She looked at Rokuro, then looked at Tsunade, asking in disbelief, "Lady Tsunade, is this kid really that incredible? He's not even six years old yet, right?!"
Tsunade shot a glance at Shizune and said, "Why do you think no one objects to him calling himself Konoha's number one genius? Isn't it because he actually has the strength? Otherwise, he would have drowned in other people's spit long ago!"
Uh!
That makes a lot of sense!
Shizune stared at Rokuro, still feeling somewhat indignant.
