"Tsunade, you—"
The Hokage began to speak, but his words faltered when he saw Tsunade's scrutinizing gaze. Her stern expression silenced him momentarily. After a brief hesitation, the Third Hokage sighed deeply, reaching for the Hokage seal and placing it on the table before her.

At this moment, a single thought lingered in the Third Hokage's mind: desperation.
He couldn't imagine what would happen if the contents of the scroll were to spread throughout the village. It wasn't just him—Koharu Utatane, Mitokado Homura, Danzo Shimura, and even the families supporting them were all implicated.

Nara Shikashin almost burst out laughing. Of all times, Fugaku, why are you trying to curry favor now? 2024-12-24 05:23:17 +0000 UTC View Post
