But forcing Tsunade to return to Konoha would indeed be asking the impossible.
Kawasaki frowned when he heard the first half of the sentence, but laughed when he heard the second half.
"Lady Tsunade may not know, but our Uchiha clan has moved away from Konoha Village and is now located five kilometers outside of Konoha."
Tsunade was quite surprised to hear this; she really didn't know the Uchiha had moved out.
Five kilometers away, isn't that outside Konoha's surveillance range?
"real or fake?"
Kawasaki smiled and said, "Of course it's true, and I have something else to ask you to do when you get back."
"What is it?" Tsunade asked, puzzled.
Kawasaki didn't answer, but instead pulled a wad of cash from the box and placed it in Shizune's hand:
"Miss Shizune, could you please arrange accommodations for tonight?"
Tsunade raised an eyebrow and actually dealt with Shizune first.
However, although Shizune has followed Tsunade for many years, Kawasaki is now the financial backer and he calls the shots.
The noise isn't a problem, but the money from Kawasaki came at just the right time; we haven't even figured out where to stay for tonight.
.....
Iron country.
After leaving in silence.
“Mr. Kawasaki, you can speak now.”
Kawasaki organized his thoughts: "Lady Tsunade, you know about Konoha's experiments with Wood Release, right?"
Tsunade nodded: "Of course I know, wasn't the Wood Release experiment already terminated?"
Kawasaki shook his head; it seemed Tsunade knew nothing.
"Konoha has been secretly conducting Wood Release experiments all these years, and they are extremely cruel human experiments!"
"Human experimentation!?" Tsunade frowned deeply. As a medical ninja, she abhorred such acts of cruelty to life.
Kawasaki added fuel to the fire: "Orochimaru's betrayal was due to the disappearance of sixty babies in Konoha, who were used as test subjects for Wood Release experiments."
Tsunade slammed her hand on the table, and with a loud bang, the table shattered into pieces.
Orochimaru is conducting human experiments?!
Kawasaki shrugged: "Lady Tsunade misunderstands. It was Danzo who did it. He wanted to obtain the power of Wood Release and planned the baby kidnapping."
"Orochimaru was only in charge of the experiments; he didn't know the source of the test subjects, but in the end, Orochimaru took all the blame."
Tsunade looked solemn, completely different from the alcoholic and gambling person she had been before.
Is there any conclusive evidence?
Kawasaki took out a secret letter from his person and handed it to Tsunade.
"I have some dealings with Lord Orochimaru, and this is a letter he wrote to you personally."
Tsunade frowned even more. How did Kawasaki get involved with Orochimaru?
Let’s see what’s going on first.
Tsunade took the secret letter and saw that it indeed contained their coded message.
The contents of the letter confirmed that Kawasaki's words were true, and that Orochimaru was cooperating with Danzo.
Danzo also found part of the First Hokage's remains for Orochimaru to experiment on, and surprisingly, some of the experiments survived.
"How dare they desecrate my grandfather's body! And someone even survived the experiment?"
Tsunade was furious, then shocked; she knew all too well how high the mortality rate was for human experiments.
Kawasaki nodded: "Not only did he survive, but he also inherited some of the First Hokage's abilities."
"Oh!?" Tsunade became interested. Her grandfather's strength was beyond question, and now someone had actually inherited Wood Release!?
Kawasaki continued, "This person was previously hidden in Root by Danzo, but was later rescued by Kakashi. He is now in Anbu and his name is Tenzo."
"Danzo even clashed with the Third Hokage because of this. In the end, the Third Hokage took that one away, and Danzo said that he was the only survivor."
"The only survivor Danzo mentioned?" Tsunade immediately grasped the key point.
"That's right, Lady Tsunade. A few days ago, our Uchiha clan was attacked, and two of the attackers knew Wood Release."
"He knows Wood Release!?"
"How can it be!?"
Kawasaki shrugged: "That's the truth. All the Uchiha people who are lying in bed right now are injured because of their Wood Release techniques."
"I suspect that Danzo and others had been researching Wood Release even earlier."
Tsunade's face was gloomy. Tenzo was already Danzo's doing, and now two more have appeared. What do they think of Grandpa's remains?
"It's pathetic Konoha. There are always people doing bad things in secret, and people cleaning up their messes. That's why I came to drag Lady Tsunade into this," Kawasaki said helplessly.
"Danzo did all this?"
Tsunade's impression of Danzo was still based on the past; Danzo was a typical militant who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
To achieve one's goals without considering the consequences.
"After the Nine-Tails' attack, Danzo has been targeting us Uchiha because he suspects that we Uchiha were the masterminds behind the Nine-Tails' attack."
Kawasaki then changed the subject: "But there's a loophole here that proves the Nine-Tails' rampage has nothing to do with our Uchiha clan."
Tsunade was aware of the Nine-Tails' rampage; she happened to be away at the time, and the incident almost forced her to return to Konoha.
Because of the Nine-Tails' rampage, Konoha suffered a severe blow, and the Uchiha clan was also ostracized, something Tsunade vaguely heard about.
Unexpectedly, Kawasaki said today that there are loopholes in it.
Tsunade gestured for Kawasaki to continue.
"Everyone knows that the Uchiha Sharingan can control tailed beasts, so Danzo targeted us Uchiha and suspected that the Uchiha were behind the Nine-Tails' rampage."
"But few people know that the ordinary Sharingan cannot control the Nine-Tails; only the Mangekyou Sharingan can."
"Lady Tsunade, as Hashirama Senju's granddaughter, you know that Madara Uchiha possessed this ability, but he has left..."
"During the Nine-Tails' rampage, only the Fugaku clan leader possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan, and all of the Fugaku clan leader's actions were under the watchful eyes of the Konoha leadership."
"Therefore, the Nine-Tails' rampage has nothing to do with the Uchiha clan of Konoha."
"As Hashirama's granddaughter, Lady Tsunade should know Madara very well."
"Besides Madara, which other Uchiha clan member has ever controlled the Nine-Tails?"
Tsunade raised an eyebrow, unexpectedly inspired by Kawasaki's use of the Long technique to prove the Uchiha's innocence.
"No one believes the words of us Uchiha, but when Lady Tsunade speaks..."
During the Nine-Tails' rampage, Obito easily pinned the blame on the Uchiha clan, causing them to bear a false accusation.
It's important to know that Madara had been missing for many years, and the villagers only knew that the Uchiha clan could use genjutsu to control the Nine-Tails.
Little did they know that only those with the Mangekyou Sharingan could accomplish that.
When Banli left the tribe, he took away a large number of books with him. Many things were unknown even to the younger generation of the tribe, let alone outsiders.
But Tsunade is still alive; her grandfather was Hashirama Senju, who fought the Uchiha clan his entire life.
Controlling the Nine-Tails requires the Mangekyou Sharingan, and Tsunade should be able to confirm this.
It's said that Itachi, Kawasaki, and Shisui all had kaleidoscopes? Itachi was only a few years old at the time, and Shisui wasn't much older either.
Although Kawasaki was older, he had been assisting non-combatants in their evacuation under Konoha's surveillance.
The Uchiha clan has drifted further and further away from Konoha. If Tsunade were to speak up for the Uchiha,
This is more advantageous for Kawasaki's next steps.
"The attacks a few days ago targeted our Uchiha clan and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."
"If they dare to touch Konoha's Nine-Tails, what else wouldn't they dare to do?"
"The Uchiha clan suffered heavy casualties, with many members seriously injured and unable to recover, including those two seriously wounded."
"Therefore, I want to form a medical team, since in the ninja world, the most skilled doctor is none other than Lady Tsunade."
Kawasaki didn't forget to say a few kind words to Tsunade.
"If Lady Tsunade could become our Uchiha medical advisor, with a stable salary and the opportunity to investigate Danzo, why wouldn't we want that?"
Tsunade tapped her fingers on the table: "Now that you've said that, how can I not go back?"
Kawasaki shrugged: "It's entirely up to Lady Tsunade to decide."
Tsunade closed her eyes, and the image of Hashirama Senju appeared in her mind, recalling the time when Hashirama took her gambling.
She opened her eyes and glanced at Kawasaki's money box.
Kawasaki cleverly pushed half of the money in front of Tsunade.
"Lady Tsunade, if you agree, these will be yours immediately. The tuition fee is 20 million for one year, and an additional 20 million will be added every year thereafter."
Tsunade was impressed by the Uchiha clan's generosity and finally nodded.
"Alright, but I can't guarantee how much you Uchiha will learn."
Learning medical ninjutsu is no easy task; many people spend decades without ever mastering it. In addition to having a master, talent is also required.
Kawasaki reviewed his subordinates' strengths and smiled in response.
Let's set aside the matter of Baihao and the Immortal Arts for now; the time isn't right. Let's get acquainted first before we speak.
Once Danzo is in dire straits, we'll pin the deaths of Nawaki and Dan on him and see how many lives he can pay in return.
.....
Inside Konoha Village, at the Uchiha training ground.
Sasuke didn't have to wait long before Itachi arrived at the venue.
"Brother, how is Father?"
