Shizune was unhappy.
And Tsunade didn't say anything more.
Some people were just born strong; there was nothing anyone could do about it.
Shizune's talent might be good, but compared to Rokuro, she was lacking by several tiers.
With an issue of talent like this.
Even if Tsunade wanted to comfort her, it would be hard to find an excuse.
She couldn't exactly say, "Don't compare yourself to geniuses, compare yourself to ordinary people," right?
If she did, Shizune would probably feel even more depressed.
Looking at the indignant Shizune, Tsunade shook her head, kicked Rokuro, who was walking in front, and asked, "How are Yumi and the others doing now? They should be living quite well, right?"
Rokuro cast a glance at Tsunade and curled his lip. "If you want to ask, just ask. Why kick me?!"
Tsunade kicked Rokuro again and snorted coldly. "If you speak any more nonsense, I'll let you taste my fist!"
Rokuro was very speechless. Looking at Tsunade, he said, "Bullying a child—are you even human?!"
"A child?" Hearing this, Tsunade sneered. "Are you even worthy of being called a child? When we first met just now, where were you staring? A little brat like you actually has the nerve to call yourself a child!"
"Cough, cough!" Rokuro was somewhat embarrassed. He hurriedly quickened his pace and said as he walked, "Master Tsunade, you might have misunderstood. I was merely reminiscing about my mother. Hers were just as big as yours; you simply reminded me of my late mother!"
Tsunade was utterly speechless and directly began scolding him, "Smelly brat, your excuse is way too trashy! Using your own mother as a meat shield—are you even doing right by your dead mother?!"
Rokuro said nonchalantly, "My mother loved me so much. If I use her as a meat shield, she would only feel very happy. However, what I just said was entirely true. I'm not using my mother as an excuse. Lady Tsunade, don't let your thoughts wander into the gutter!"
"Hmph!" Tsunade was highly disdainful. "There'd be a ghost if anyone believed you. Little brats like you are the most detestable!"
Rokuro shook his head and sighed. "Alas, I shine my bright moon upon you, but you only see a ditch. None of you understand me!"
Tsunade cast a surprised glance at Rokuro.
She truly hadn't expected this smelly brat to be able to spout such poetic words.
However!
It seemed he was using them in the wrong place!
Wasting a phrase like this on him was simply throwing it away.
The three of them chatted as they walked forward for a distance, already not far from the town entrance.
After pondering for a moment, Tsunade spotted Kuro looking at them from the town entrance.
As a ninja of the same generation.
Tsunade still afforded him some respect. Arriving in front of Kuro, she bowed to him and said, "Kuro, you really have it hard. You're about to retire, yet you still have to bring this little brat along!"
Kuro smiled and patted Rokuro's head. "Without him, I probably wouldn't even have the chance to retire. Thinking about it that way, I don't feel like it's hard work at all!"
Tsunade fell silent for a moment and sighed. "That old geezer Danzo simply doesn't treat people like human beings!"
Kuro waved his hands repeatedly. "Elder Danzo also does it for Konoha Village. Princess, please do not blame Elder Danzo!"
Tsunade was helpless. "Forget it, let's not talk about him. Just hearing that old geezer's name makes my heart uncomfortable. Tell me, what exactly is the situation right now?"
Kuro shook his head, cast a glance at Rokuro, and said, "Lord Hokage only had Asuma, who is at the Daimyo's estate, inform us that a squad from the Uchiha clan left the village and is gathering herbs right on our necessary route back. He didn't state anything else explicitly. It is highly likely that even Lord Hokage doesn't know exactly who left the village from the Uchiha clan!"
Tsunade frowned. "Is the relationship between the Uchiha clan and the village already this tense right now? To the point where they don't even report who leaves the village to the old man? Doesn't this mean something bad is about to happen?!"
Kuro fell silent for a while and sighed. "Ever since Uchiha Shisui died, the Uchiha clan has been constantly clashing with the village. Recently, the Konoha Police Force has arrested quite a few Konoha ninjas and thrown them into prison. They only released them after Lord Hokage stepped in personally!"
Tsunade couldn't help but rub her head. "By the looks of it, things are very difficult for the old man right now too!"
Kuro nodded. "Indeed. Lord Hokage has already held several rounds of negotiations with the Uchiha clan recently. This time, he probably didn't want to make the relationship with the Uchiha clan even stiffer, which is why he found it inconvenient to block their request to leave the village and gather herbs!"
Tsunade sighed!
Things had gotten so complicated.
Just thinking about it gave her a massive headache.
If she were asked to go back and resolve this matter, she estimated she would go crazy.
