Jiraiya didn't linger for a moment longer. He was already out of the village before Tsunade could come after him. He figured if he stayed away for a while, by the time he came back, Tsunade's anger would have cooled off, and he'd be safe again.
"Where's that bastard Jiraiya?!" Tsunade stormed into the Hokage's office not long after, her face red and her clothes stained with alcohol and food. The Third Hokage could only sigh in exasperation.
"Tsunade, you're the head of the Logistics Division. This is work time-at least wait until after hours to drink."
"Jiraiya already left the village. Now come help me handle this scroll."
"Lucky for him!" Tsunade muttered, still fuming.
This had been one of her favorite outfits, and now Jiraiya had ruined it. Didn't he know how hard it was to clean clothes?
The Third Hokage unsealed the scroll and released both the body and the stolen goods inside. "This man should be Fuguki Suikazan, one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and the wielder of Samehada," the Hokage said, glancing at the goods.
"Why has Mist Village been attacking Fire Country's merchant ships so frequently?"
"Whatever the reason, this is a direct provocation. We need to send a formal inquiry to Mist Village about this."
Tsunade didn't care about Mist Village's reasons for targeting Fire Country's ships and trade routes. All she knew was that Mist Village was provoking Konoha.
"You're right," the Third Hokage agreed. "Summon the Intelligence Division. Have the Yamanaka Clan extract whatever secrets they can from the body."
Even though Fuguki Suikazan was dead, it didn't matter. As long as the body was intact, there were plenty of ways to dig out its secrets.
And Konoha needed more information about Mist Village. This corpse had arrived at the
perfect time. Given that Fuguki was one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, his knowledge of Mist Village would be vast.
"Those three kids really did an outstanding job."
"By the way, the man's dead, but where's Samehada?"
Fuguki had been killed, so his weapon should have been taken too, but the sealed scroll contained no trace of Samehada.
"I don't know," Tsunade replied with a dismissive wave, her drunkenness clearly affecting her.
"They probably kept it. It's just a weapon-consider it their spoils of war. Anyway, old man, you deal with this. I'm going home to sleep. Let me know if anything important comes up."
Working while drunk? Yeah, that wasn't going to happen.
