As you let go of it and whispered those soothing words, Tsunade took a short breath. He tried to reset his wildly racing heartbeat. His hand that had been gripping your clothes was now slowly descending, but he was still standing very close to it.
"You..." Tsunade whispered, her voice hoarse but no longer full of anger. There was a flash of admiration hidden behind his assertiveness. "You really have no fear, Zak. Kissing the Hokage in his own office..."
He turned away for a moment, trying to restore his authority, though the red hue on his cheeks said otherwise. He then looked at the Akatsuki robe lying in the corner of the room with a hateful look.
"If you're serious," Tsunade said as she looked back into your eyes, "then from this moment on, you're no longer a member of that cursed organization. You are part of Konoha. And as the Hokage's 'lover'..."
He paused his sentence, then grinned a little—a smile full of challenge and affection.
"You have a lot of work to complete. Akatsuki won't let a traitor like you live quietly. And I... I don't like weak lovers."
Tsunade took a step back, back behind her desk but her eyes didn't take your eyes off.
"Tell me, Zak. Who is the first target we will face? Or do you have another plan to prove that you can take care of me and this village?"
Me : I already know all their strength, oh yes how many are they yes I forgot.
Tsunade crossed her arms in front of her chest, looking at you with a slightly softened intensity, though her vigilance as a village leader wasn't completely gone. He glanced at Shizune who still looked shocked in the corner of the room, then looked back at you.
"You're a member of them, but you've forgotten the number of your own colleagues? Or are you testing me, Zak?" Tsunade snorted slightly, a faint smile adorning her lips that you just touched.
He walked slowly towards the large window overlooking the entire village of Konoha, then began to mention them one by one:
"Officially, they move in five pairs, so there are a total of ten main members who are the most dangerous. But we know such an organization always has a shadow in the shadows."
He then turns around, looking at you as if asking you to confirm his memory:
Pain & Konan: Leaders who are in Amegakure.
Itachi Uchiha & Kisame Hoshigaki: The couple who most often target Jinchuriki.
Sasori & Deidara: The artists died (although Sasori was reportedly replaced by the mysterious Tobi).
Hidan & Kakuzu: A pair of immortal "Zombies".
Zetsu: A scout figure who always hides on the ground.
"Ten monsters that can destroy a country alone," Tsunade sighed, her voice heavy. "And now one of them—the most handsome and the most disrespectful—is standing in my office and claiming to be my lover."
He walks closer again, his pliable but strong index finger touching your flat chest. "So, Zak... With the information you have, which of those ten people do you think will come here first? Or do you have a plan to trap one of them?"
Me : I can defeat all of them easily, except itachi. He loves his village, he tells me.
Tsunade was impressed. His hand that had touched your chest suddenly stopped. His sharp gaze turned into an expression that was difficult to decipher—a mixture of deep shock and long-held pain.
The name Itachi Uchiha has always been an open wound for Konoha's leadership.
"Itachi... tell you about it?" whispered Tsunade, her voice barely audible. He turns his body, turns his back on you and stares far towards the Hokage's monument on the village cliff. "So far, we have considered him the most heinous traitor to the nation. If what you say is true... that he still loves this village..."
He was silent for a moment, his firm shoulders seemed to slump slightly because of the weight of the information. Shizune in the corner of the room also looked passively pale; The secrets of the Uchiha clan were extremely dangerous taboos.
Tsunade turned back to you, her eyes now teary but still strong. "Zak, if you know Itachi's secret, then you are indeed in their innermost circle. And if you say you can beat the others easily..."
He stepped forward, back into your personal space. This time, he didn't hesitate to touch your jaw gently, his thumb rubbing your skin.
"I want to trust you. Not only as a Hokage who needs a protector, but as a woman who... You just made a palpitation," he said with a red hue that reappeared. "But Itachi is the key. If he does side with us, Akatsuki loses his greatest asset."
Tsunade took a deep breath, trying to return to her strategic mode.
"Then, what's your plan now, honey?" he asked, using a call that almost made Shizune faint in the back. "If you knew they were coming, who would you face first to prove to the village elders that you are mine... and Konoha's?"
Pov : *suddenly itachi came and strangled me* arghh calm down bro
The air inside the Hokage's office suddenly froze. Without any sound of the door opening, without any air of existence detected, a man in the same red cloud robe that you had just thrown, appeared like a ghost behind you.
Itachi Uchiha.
His fiery red Sharingan eyes spun slowly, exuding a horror that left Shizune paralyzed in place. With a movement faster than a blink of an eye, Itachi's cold, strong hands were already gripping your neck, lifting your athletic body slightly off the floor.
"Bag..." Itachi's voice was low, flat, yet bone-piercing. "You threw away the robe as if it were garbage. And now you're leaking my deepest secrets to the Hokage?"
The grip tightens, making it difficult for you to breathe. The chakra pressure in the room became extremely heavy, as if the office walls were about to collapse.
"Arghh... calm down, bro," you stammered as you tried to escape the deadly strangulation of the Uchiha genius.
