The rest of the day passed peacefully, and Tsunade was currently sitting in her office while surveying the damage. Frankly, there was almost none.
No casualties. And not a single person who was heavily wounded. The worst damage was a few collapsed buildings, which, considering Konoha was attacked by multiple S-Rank shinobi, was neglectable.
Moments later, someone knocked on the door, causing Tsunade to sigh.
'More work, huh. Let's see what this is about.'
She was just about to allow the knocker to enter when someone appeared behind. Her first instinct was to attack the person without a moment of hesitation, but Tsunade quickly noticed that the person wasn't moving at all, making it rather unlikely for him to be an assassin.
The person had long black hair with blue streaks and was wearing an ANBU-style fox mask, giving Tsunade a relatively good idea of who it was.
"What are you doing here, Yuna?"
"Trust me; you will thank me for this one."
Tsunade's eyebrow rose due to Yuna's words. She pondered the situation for a moment before shrugging her shoulders.
"Fine, whatever. Enter!"
After Tsunade gave permission, the door opened, revealing an ANBU closely followed by a young man with spiky black hair and black eyes.
"Sasuke Uchiha has returned to the village and wanted to meet you, Hokage-sama."
Tsunade immediately was annoyed by that.
'That's fine and all, but why did you bring him here immediately while wagging your tail like a dog that wants to be praised. I guess a few people still revere the Uchiha clan. How annoying.'
Although Tsunade heard about his contribution during the battle, she didn't want to bother with that yet, since other things were more important. Well, since he was here anyway, she might as well get this out of the way.
"Thank you for informing me about that and directly bringing him here as well."
The ANBU flinched when he heard the apparent displeasure in Tsunade's voice. He just realized that by bringing Sasuke here directly, before informing Tsunade, he pretty much ignored Tsunade's opinion on the matter.
"T-That, I apologize, Hokage-sama."
Tsunade sighed again and waved the ANBU away, causing him to sigh in relief.
"Well, what can I do for you, Sasuke Uchiha."
Sasuke eyed the masked woman standing behind Tsunade for a moment before ignoring her and focusing on Tsunade instead.
"I want to become part of Konoha's shinobi force again."
Tsunade nodded in acknowledgment. After all, she pretty much expected that to be the case. Why else would Sasuke return to Konoha?
"Mhh, that is fine. Although you went rogue three years ago, there are no reports of you hurting any Konoha shinobi, so allowing you to come back should be no problem."
Sasuke nodded in understanding and resumed talking.
"Additionally, I killed two more members of Akatsuki outside of Konoha."
Tsunade's eyebrow rose when Sasuke made that claim. As far as she knew, the only members still left were Zetzu and the masked man Yuna claimes to be Obito. Did Sasuke really kill those two? She was a little skeptical about that.
Well, Yuna still hasn't told her that there were currently three Akatsuki members inside the Uzumaki compound, so she could only assume that Zetzu and Obito were the only ones left.
"Oh? You did? I assume you have the corpses?"
Sasuke nodded his head and unfurled a small storage scroll. He put it on the ground, and after injecting some chakra into it, two people in Akatsuki robes appeared.
Tsunade's eyes widened in surprise when she saw the two people. They were Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane, who previously had a spot as Konoha's elders, but were put into prison for all kinds of different crimes.
Tsunade was aware that the duo managed to break out of prison a while ago but did not expect to find them in such a fashion.
"I found them outside Konoha. Apparently, they helped Akatsuki with the infiltration of Konoha."
While Sasuke was looking smug, Tsunade couldn't help but frown. The prison break was already very suspicious, and this whole situation makes it even worse.
'Would these two really join Akatsuki and help them attack Konoha? How come Sasuke was conveniently in the vicinity when Akatsuki attacked. All of this is very suspicious. And, what makes me the most suspicious, is definitely Yuna's presence in this very room. What is she plotting, and how much of this whole situation was orchestrated by her.'
While Tsunade was deep in thought, Yuna leaned forwards and whispered in her ear.
"High contribution, war hero, hasn't been here for the last three years, and a glorious Uchiha."
At first, Tsunade had no idea why Yuna was whispering that kind of stuff into her ear, but moments later, everything clicked together as her eyes started shining.
'I can dump the Hokage position on him! He is still a bit young to do so now, but it's only a matter of a few years, hahaha.'
Meanwhile, Sasuke was becoming more dissatisfied by Tsunade's restrained reaction. He was just about to complain when a massive grin appeared on Tsunade's face.
"Really outstanding! To think you defeated three Akatsuki members by yourself. Truly impressive. Considering your strength, there is no problem with directly promoting you to Jonin. We planned to hold a festival due winning this fight. I planned to give the most significant contributors an award, and as the biggest contributor, you will naturally receive one as well."
Sasuke's facial expression immediately filled with arrogance, and he slightly lifted up his head. Tsunade couldn't help but get excited when she saw Sasuke's reaction.
'Gullible! He's so gullible that I almost feel sorry for him. I need to plan this out properly. I need to keep his contact with Yuna as small as possible and make sure that I always look relaxed when he enters my office. Hehe, poor little Uchiha, I hope you will enjoy all the paperwork and the mess Yuna occasionally causes.'
Sasuke felt a chill go down his spine, causing him to look around in confusion.
'Weird, what was that?'
Well.... AT least someone found some use for an Uchiwa other than organ-donor and fertiliser,, you know ?
Can he grow white hair because of an Uzumaki matriarch ?
Will Tsunade shair Iruzen's couch ?
What would she read to pass time ?
Other question, what will be Tsunade's bill for this help from Yuna ?
Another thought.
Can a Uchiwa go bald with stress ?
Now Il really want to see the picture.
Tsunade? Its already an obvious answer isn't it? Drunk & gambling ofcourse.
I don't think Uchihas go bald. In fact, I don't think they grow old at all. They probably die young from all the angst and stress, that is if they don't get killed by their own arrogance first. Which is perfect for fertiliser for the next generation of angst.
@dJava Iruzen reading po*n and Tsunade getting drunk and betting with him. The Hokage's office mood will be fun...
Side note
Do you think the Gods (#Maerry included) could send the Uchiwas to their perfect univers of existence ?
Where could such a band of weirdos could use their hatred to awaken their full potentials....
A new Sith clan is born...
There will be at least one more couch and a table so that Tsunade can drink and gamble with Hiruzen and 2 other unfortunate ANBUs.
Tsunade might open her Casino where she will bet her earnings inside so that she doesn't loose money as she is spending her salary entirely on her own Casino where her future descendants can keep investing and expanding while she also get dead drunk, wonder what her dao will be like and how it will grow after Sasuke becomes the Hokage.
@Ruiso she's allready a VIS (very important spender) in the Uzumaki's casino.
Don't try being Yuna's concurent...
@Xuan-Wu Yuna can basically makes her one of the mamagers, where she will spend all her earnings in her work place, basically no money loss.... if you don't count damage Tsunade can do when she is angry.
@Ruiso Will Yuna endotensei the first and second Hokage to inform them of the Hokage-candidate-in-formation's identity ? And past mist... Erh... Performances ?
@Xuan-Wu One thought for the road.
Does anyone think Moronchiwa Will one day understand and admit, he got the Hokage’s hat because no one wanted it, you konw ?
@Xuan-Wu
Will Yuna endotensei the first and second Hokage to inform them of the Hokage-candidate-in-formation's identity ? And past mist... Erh... Performances ?
Like why are you asking me? I don't know
Does anyone think Moronchiwa Will one day understand and admit, he got the Hokage’s hat because no one wanted it, you konw ?
He is young and stupid. He is also alone, like I am pretty sure, Tsunade will condition him to be the perfect Hokage, Yuna can also help with that, like maybe make a mini harem of capable woman trained to do the actual managing while Sasuke is the face that is there just to bring more Uchihas in to the world and look imposing for the other nations. Then they can pass the position to Sasuke's child, maybe Sarada?, and just let Sasuke worry about re-making the Uchiha Clan, with better management though so they don't end up being brooding time bombs...
@Ruiso OK, you just explained how Sakura Will go bald with stress...
As for conditioning an Uchiwa, it would take three time the Yamanaka full clan power
@Xuan-Wu when did I Explained Sakura's descent to baldness?
Also that is brainwashing which might not work on Sasuke as he is innately stupid. Tsunade can condition him into doing the right thing using the carrot amd the stick concept as he will think he is doing the cool thing while in reality he is doing the good thing. He can be conditioned with a decade or two of training, pretty sure that escaping the dreadful paper work is worth the extra effort.
@dJava *Dao of alcohol and bad luck
