Ryosuke faced Tsunade's angry roar, feeling a bit speechless in his heart. He was just trying to intimidate this daimyo's envoy a little. Let the other party understand that cutting funding is a very dangerous move. It looks like the other party has already been quite scared.
Now he also had to give Tsunade some face, after all, they were all his people. Closing the Mangekyō Sharingan, he smiled and said, "I was just greeting the daimyo's envoy. After all, it was the daimyo's envoy himself who proposed to meet me."
"Don't you agree, envoy?"
With the Mangekyō Sharingan closing, the daimyo's envoy instantly felt his pressure drop sharply. Even his breathing became smooth. Such a terrifying person. Someone like this cannot be made an enemy.
Forcing a smile, he said, "You are right."
"As expected of Konoha's strongest right now. With a strong person like you protecting Konoha and the Land of Fire, there's no need to worry about invasions from other countries."
Ryosuke was very satisfied in his heart. Looking at Tsunade, he said, "Tsunade-sama, you see, even the daimyo's envoy says so."
Tsunade's face was ashen. Threatening the other party right in front of her. Otherwise, why would the envoy have this expression?
"You bastard, get out."
Lest this guy stir up trouble here. He was completely ruining Konoha's image, leaving the daimyo's envoy with an impression of extreme tyranny.
Even she, Tsunade, was not this domineering—only when provoked would she strike with heavy fists.
Ryosuke naturally agreed. He didn't want to stay here anyway. Going back to sleep was more important. Did they really expect him to entertain this so-called daimyo's envoy? Forget about that.
Before leaving, he still looked at the daimyo's envoy and said, "Go back and properly inform your daimyo. Think this matter through carefully. After all, with too little money, Konoha might not have much fighting spirit to protect the Land of Fire."
No money, no work.
The entire Land of Fire's borders were protected by Konoha. This was an extremely difficult task. Who would do it without money?
Hearing this, the daimyo's envoy quickly responded, "Alright, I will convey the message to the daimyo. I believe the daimyo will seriously reconsider."
This was a blatant threat. The daimyo's plan this time might fail. If they forcibly pushed forward with this plan, Konoha might have other thoughts. Not only could they slack off on protecting the Land of Fire, but they might even stop protecting it entirely.
This would be greatly detrimental to the Land of Fire.
However, this wasn't something he needed to worry about. Even if the daimyo's plan fell through, his treatment would just not improve, that's all. Right now, it was still not bad.
Tsunade felt a bit helpless seeing that even before leaving, Ryosuke was still threatening the daimyo's envoy.
This was not like dealing with enemies who didn't need mercy—at least these people were subordinates of Konoha's cooperative partners.
She could only say, "Hurry up and leave, Ryosuke."
Hearing this, Ryosuke immediately left. Tsunade was still too kind. If one didn't show enough strength to such people, how would they submit? But it looked like Ryosuke wouldn't dare cause trouble anymore.
Sasaki only relaxed once he saw Ryosuke leave. Why did he have to be curious about this person in the first place? He was indeed terrifyingly strong. Even though he hadn't really made a move, just a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan had made him feel completely uncomfortable. And he was definitely not someone to mess with.
But still, Tsunade-sama—truly worthy of being the heir of the Senju Clan—had the courage to suppress the strongest Uchiha with such arrogance.
He felt admiration in his heart. Otherwise, something bad might have happened in the Land of Fire. Who knew if this clan would grow dissatisfied with the daimyo and seek more changes?
It seemed that making Tsunade the Fifth Hokage was indeed a great choice.
Shikaku, watching this scene, realized something remarkable. His eyes narrowed. Logically speaking, Uchiha Ryosuke being treated like this by Tsunade-sama should make him furious. But he wasn't.
This completely contradicted his usual way of doing things. The impression he had left before was of someone who feared neither heaven nor earth.
He had kicked the Third Hokage and punched Shimura Danzo. Those two were once the highest-ranking figures in Konoha.
So why had he changed so much? Could it be that he had a good relationship with Tsunade-sama?
If they weren't close, given his personality, there was no way he would tolerate this.
Shikaku also recalled how Tsunade's face had become more radiant after returning to the village. Before, he didn't believe Tsunade had any man—because no other man could conquer her.
But now, he couldn't help but wonder… Could these two have gotten together?
And thinking about it, it made perfect sense. Other than Uchiha Ryosuke, someone so powerful, who else in the village could possibly conquer a woman like Tsunade?
Could it be… that this was actually true? The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
If they weren't involved, Uchiha Ryosuke wouldn't treat Tsunade so kindly.
He was instantly shocked—what a terrifying man. Even Tsunade, the most beautiful and fiercest flower of Konoha, had been conquered by him.
His heart was filled with both admiration and envy.
Compared to Shikaku, Fugaku's face remained calm. Ryosuke had done well, of course. Without some threats, the daimyo might never realize how foolish his decision was.
After a great war, money was naturally needed to rebuild the village, yet they wanted to make Konoha's shinobi suffer instead of the daimyo's officials?
After Ryosuke left, Tsunade finally smiled and said, "Since the envoy has decided to report back to the daimyo to reconsider supporting Konoha's funding, the village won't keep the daimyo's envoy here any longer. Handling official matters is more important."
Shikaku's earlier suggestion to let the envoy stay in Konoha for a few days was naturally void now. The envoy, Sasaki, felt bitter in his heart. He really had to report this to the daimyo.
After traveling all the way to Konoha, now he had to rush back again. This was truly exhausting. He didn't gain anything from this trip at all. And once the daimyo reconsidered, he might have to come again.
Such a loss. He could only reply helplessly, "Alright, then I will take my leave."
Helplessly, he left with his subordinates.
Tsunade watched the daimyo's envoy leave, then smiled and said, "The problem is solved, so let's adjourn the meeting."
