Trees Chapter 292 Tobirama: As Long As I Am Here, Konoha Will Return to The Right Path!

"Huh?"

Tsunade tilted her head, confusion written all over her face.

She couldn't understand why her grand-uncle suddenly yelled at her.

And it was because of an outsider.

"Grand-uncle... you might not know this, but Uchiha Itachi slaughtered his entire clan with his own hands."

"The situation he’s in now is entirely because Sasuke forced him to atone for his sins."

Tsunade was worried that her grand-uncle had just resurrected and hadn't figured out the situation yet, so she kindly explained Tobirama the whole story.

"Hmph!"

"The inherently evil Uchiha Clan actually dared to plot the downfall of Konoha!"

It would have been better if Tobirama didn't listen, but when he heard Tsunade say that, his anger rose rapidly.

‘As expected!’

‘The Uchiha Clan is a dog that can’t change its eating habits!’

Tobirama opened his mouth and started cursing.

Beside him, Itachi stood frozen, with his head bowed, not daring to utter a single word. He could only stand still and stare at his toes.

But Tobirama was observant. Noticing Itachi’s reaction from the corner of his eye, he realized his words might have been too harsh.

Turning to Itachi, his expression softened into something almost grandfatherly.

"Itachi, I wasn’t referring to you."

"You are inherently kind, unlike those inherently evil brats."

Tsunade: “???”

Naruto: “???”

None of the three people present could recover from Tobirama’s sudden shift in attitude.

Naruto had a strange expression, and looked indescribably uncomfortable.

‘Oh, fantastic.’

‘It seems that you, the Nidaime Hokage, are playing double standards now, huh?’

‘Calling Sasuke a ‘inherently evil Uchiha brat’, but Itachi gets to be ‘inherently kind’?

‘Why not just rename him Senju Itachi while you’re at it?!’

Naruto wasn’t the only one struggling to process this, as even Tsunade found the whole thing ridiculous.

"Grand-uncle, you......"

"Enough!”

Tsunade wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Tobirama before she could say anything.

"From today onward..."

"Uchiha Itachi is under my jurisdiction."

"Cancel all that nonsensical work you’ve been forcing on him!"

Perhaps Tobirama could empathize with Itachi's performance in women's clothing, so he opened his mouth to intervene in Itachi's performance.

"NO!"

The three people at the scene shouted at the same time.

Itachi's current popularity is not inferior to that of the Sannin idol grouo. so how could Tsunade, the mama-san, agree to let him leave now?

As for Naruto, he was worried that if Tobirama went through with this...

Sasuke would personally come to kick him in the ass.

As for Itachi himself...

Firstly, he wanted to follow the path of atonement his little brother had set for him, and secondly, he wanted to earn back the Uchiha Clan’s lost wealth.

But most importantly...

As long as he kept making money, Sasuke would definitely keep coming to ask him for money.

This was his way of making it up to him.

When Tobirama saw that even Itachi refused, he raised his eyes and glared at the yellow-haired man standing nearby.

From what he’d gathered these past few days…

The reason Naruto has such a bad personality now is because he has been hanging out with Sasuke for a long time...

‘That inherently evil Uchiha brat had corrupted him!’

"Fine, in that case......"

Tobirama rested his hand on the armrest of his chair, tapping his fingertips continuously. After a moment of deliberation, he turned back to Tsunade, "From now on, you will give him three days off per week."

Bang…

Tsunade slammed her fist onto the table, and the Hokage Tower, which had just been completed a few days ago, was shaking under her punch.

"NO!"

"One day at most!"

If she really followed what her grand-uncle said and gave Itachi three days off a week, how the hell was she supposed to make money?

Besides, what would the others think of her?

If even a guy who massacres his own clansmen can have three days off a week, why should they all work so hard?

Tsunade knew this precedent could not be set!

Hearing this, Naruto, who is standing behind Tsunade, felt a strange sense of déjà vu.

Because he discovered the way Tsunade was acting...

Was exactly like how he acted whenever he argued with her!

Moreover, Naruto could see a faint glimmer of excitement in her eyes.

It almost seemed like...

She had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

"Nidaime-sama…"

"I... I actually don’t need any days off."

When Itachi saw that the atmosphere was quite tense and the two Hokage were about to fight because of him, he quickly stepped forward to mediate.

"Itachi... you..."

Tobirama turned around and looked at Itachi, and the anger that had just appeared on his face gradually disappeared.

‘As expected!’

‘Uchiha Itachi is truly different from the others!’

Tobirama turned his gaze to Tsunade again and raised two fingers, with a hint of authority in his tone.

"Two days!"

“This is my final line!”

Tsunade’s brows furrowed deeply.

To be honest, she didn’t even want to give Itachi a single day off.

But no matter what, Tobirama was the one in charge now, so she had to show him some respect.

After all, it would be bad if he suddenly realized his mistake and quit, and then dump the Hokage’s position back onto her.

Seeing Tsunade so conflicted, Naruto gently nudged her with his elbow and subtly shook his head.

‘Don’t push the capitalist exploitation thing too far.’

Besides, Naruto believed that Itachi would voluntarily work overtime on his days off just to earn more money.

So it’s actually not a big problem.

"Fine."

"Two days it is."

Tsunade ultimately agreed to Tobirama's proposal, but she still felt bitter about it.

After thinking it over, she decided to go to her grandpa to complain later.

"Alright, Uchiha Itachi, get back to work!"

"It’s not your break time yet!"

Tsunade feels upset whenever she sees this guy.

‘If it weren't for him, grand-uncle wouldn't have quarreled with me over such a trivial matter.’

"Tsunade."

"Mind your tone."

"Uchiha Itachi has earned you plenty of money over the years."

Tobirama was displeased with his grandniece’s attitude, and immediately scolded her.

"Damn it…!"

Bang…

Tsunade really couldn't bear it anymore, so she raised her hand and punched the desk in front of Tobirama, breaking it into two pieces.

Naruto, standing off to the side, stayed unusually quiet.

He had to be quiet. After all, if he said anything now and angered Tsunade...

His white-haired teacher would undoubtedly become her punching bag for the next few days.

Tobirama’s frown deepened and he looked a little unhappy.

But faced with Tsunade's sudden outburst, he didn’t move from his seat.

"Are you done?"

"This desk is coming out of your paycheck."

"I'll have the Anbu send you the bill later."

Tobirama spoke in a strictly businesslike tone, which only infuriated Tsunade further.

‘Good, good, good!’

‘It’s just a desk, and you calculated it so clearly with me, grand-uncle!?’

‘Just you wait!’

‘I'll go find Grandpa and deal with you right away!’

"Hmph!"

"Naruto, let’s go!"

Tsunade snorted coldly, then grabbed Naruto, flicked her sleeves and left. She slammed the door shut, causing the entire building to shake again.

When Tobirama saw this scene, he rubbed his temples in exasperation.

For some reason...

He couldn’t help but feel that Konoha had been unlucky to have Tsunade as Hokage.

‘But fortunately, I have taken over the Hokage’s position again, so everything will return to the right path.’

Tobirama sighed softly when he thought of this. He massaged his forehead, and did not forget to instruct Itachi.

"Itachi."

"You should go back and rest for today."

"If Tsunade gives you any trouble, just tell her to come to me."
