Naruto: The dungeon I developed went viral throughout the entire ninja world.

Chapter 50 Tsunade's First Fire

Konoha Village, Hokage Building.

The atmosphere in the office was a bit somber. At this time, Shikaku was still handling the daily administrative work in Konoha. To be honest, Shikaku himself was also feeling mentally exhausted.

He himself is better at working behind the scenes, providing advice and counsel on various matters.

Koharu and Homura sat on the sofa, each holding a cup of hot tea, their posture perfectly appropriate.

They were also wondering if they could continue to serve as advisors if they didn't intimidate the acting Hokage at this time.

Nara Shikaku sat behind his desk, his brow furrowed.

There were piles of documents in front of him, all about the Third Hokage's corruption, Danzo's series of scandals, and the need to completely resolve the Daimyo's budget cuts to Konoha.

"Shikaku."

Mitokado Homura blew on his hot tea, his words filled with an arrogant air of seniority.

"Although the lord has entrusted you with handling government affairs, you are still relatively inexperienced."

"Many decisions that affect the very foundation of the village still need to be reviewed by us old folks."

Koharu, who was switching dorms, chimed in:

"That's right. For example, the power of the security forces cannot be completely given to the Uchiha. And the remaining forces of Root cannot be completely eliminated."

"Young people tend to act impulsively; we're doing this for your own good."

Shikaji was in a real bind; this wasn't about overseeing things, it was clearly a power grab.

The Third Hokage fell, and Danzo was rendered useless.

Instead of reflecting on their actions, these two former advisors tried to take advantage of the power vacuum to extend their reach even further.

This is utterly absurd. The major families are the ones fighting desperately at the forefront, while these advisors are left to reap the benefits.

Shikaku himself could not accept it, nor could the various families behind them.

"Two advisors."

Shika put down his pen, trying to keep his tone calm.

"The situation is critical. The daimyo's letter of accountability is still hanging over our heads, and the corruption of the three generations and Danzo's series of messes need to be resolved. We don't have time for internal strife."

"Internal strife?"

Xiaochun's expression changed drastically upon turning to her new room, and she became even less polite.

"We're maintaining the stability of Konoha! What kind of attitude is this?"

Just then, a loud bang was heard, and the entire Hokage Building seemed to tremble.

The heavy office door flew off instantly, as if it had been hit by a battering ram.

The door tumbled through the air and embedded itself directly in the opposite wall, which was cracked beyond repair.

Gravel and sawdust flew everywhere and landed in the consultant's teacup.

"Who?!"

Mitokado Yan jumped up in surprise, spilling tea all over herself, but she didn't care about anything at that moment, her heart was pounding.

As the smoke cleared, a blonde woman stood in the doorway.

She was wearing a green gambling robe, and her eyes seemed to be burning with anger.

Senju Tsunade.

Behind her followed Jiraiya, who looked helpless, and Shizune, who was trembling.

Naruto and Sasuke stood guard outside the door like two gatekeepers, their arms crossed and their eyes cold.

"Tsunade?"

Xiaochun, who was turning over in her new room, recognized the person who had come.

However, she didn't offer any words of comfort or concern; with the door smashed, she was clearly not in a good mood.

At this point, even Buddha got angry and roared in fury.

"What kind of attitude is that? This is the Hokage's office, not your casino!"

"You also know this is the Hokage's office?"

Tsunade showed no respect to the advisory group and strode in.

Every step he took was so heavy that the floorboards almost collapsed under his weight.

The sheer power and oppressive aura caused the two advisors to instinctively take a step back, feeling that this was no longer human, but rather a ferocious beast in human form.

"Now that you know this is the Hokage's office, what are you two old geezers doing sitting here?"

"Is this a place where you can point fingers and tell people what to do?"

Tsunade walked to the desk and took out a thick stack of papers from her pocket.

It also included the "Konoha Fiscal Deficit Statistics Table" provided by Roy, the details of the Third Hokage's embezzlement, and the huge gambling debts she owed in Tanabata.

She slammed the stack of papers on the table, making sure the advisory team could see them clearly.

"manner?"

Tsunade gave a cold laugh.

"I'm here to pay off my debts!"

"Open your dog eyes and look! What a mess this is! Is this the prosperous era you've created?"

"A deficit of three hundred million taels! And this widespread desolation!"

"How dare you sit here drinking tea? Are you kidding me!"

The two consultants looked at the bill and their faces turned ashen.

"But those were Hiruzen's faults, what does it have to do with us?" Mitokado Homura argued.

"Unrelated? How dare you say that?"

Tsunade slammed her fist on the table, and the sturdy desk couldn't withstand it, shattering into pieces with wood chips flying everywhere.

"You're advisors! You're supposed to be assistants! What were you doing when Hiruzen made mistakes? What were you doing when Danzo caused trouble?"

"Now that something's happened, are you trying to absolve yourself of all responsibility?"

"Such a good thing exists in the world? Dream on!"

Tsunade approached the two.

The terrifying killing intent made the two pampered old people tremble.

"Who dares to utter another word?"

Tsunade's words were icy cold, and she didn't want to waste any more time.

"I'll give these IOUs to Manager Roy and have him broadcast them live to the entire ninja world again."

"I've already thought of a title: 'Konoha Advisor's Retirement Life and Financial Black Hole'."

Roy, live stream.

Upon hearing those two words, the two advisors immediately fell silent.

They witnessed firsthand the fates of the Third Hokage and Danzo, their utter disgrace and complete humiliation, even their underwear was stripped bare.

What if I were also hung in the sky and publicly executed...

The consequences are enough to send chills down your spine just thinking about them.

"What...what do you want?" Koharu Utatane finally couldn't sit still any longer and was the first to give up.

Tsunade looked around the office.

This used to be where her grandfather and great-uncle worked, but now it's filled with the smell of decay.

"Clean".

Tsunade uttered the word without even thinking.

"The advisory board is disbanded, effective today!"

"All decisions are made jointly by the Hokage and the Jonin team."

"You two, go home and retire! Don't let me see you in the Hokage Building again!"

The two advisors stared wide-eyed.

"You have no right to do this! We were appointed by the Daimyo..."

"I'll talk to the Daimyo! Besides, do you really think the Daimyo cares about how Konoha operates? As long as we can give them what they want."

Tsunade interrupted them.

"Now, get out!"

Under Tsunade's intimidating presence, the two advisors slunk away, not daring to utter a single harsh word.

The office became quiet instantly.

Shikaku stood up and bowed deeply to Tsunade.

"Lady Tsunade."

"Thanks."

He had wanted to get rid of those two old guys for a long time, but he wasn't qualified enough.

Now that Tsunade has returned, she's swiftly and decisively tackling the problem. Although her methods are a bit unconventional, they are certainly gratifying.

"Don't thank me."

Tsunade waved her hand and walked to the window.

Looking at the desolate streets outside.

Although the budget cuts threatened by the Daimyo were temporarily suspended, the economy of Konoha suffered a severe blow due to the scandals involving the Third Hokage and Danzo.

With shops closed and tasks reduced, the villagers were filled with anxiety.

The biggest problem is the lack of money, and it's something she absolutely has to solve.

"Konoha is out of money?"

Tsunade looked out the window, her eyes hardening.

"Then let's go earn it!"

She stared at Lu Jiu as she spoke.

"Pass down the order: we will cooperate with the Illusionary Dojo."

"Launch e-commerce and paid movie viewing services."

Shikaku was stunned.

"Live-streaming sales? Watching movies?"

"That's right."

It's the expression on a gambler's face when they go all in.

"Since the entire ninja world loves watching Konoha's drama unfold, let's make them pay to watch!"

"We're not afraid of being laughed at. As long as we become famous, we don't care how famous we become. As long as we can sell our ninja tools, local specialties, and ninjutsu scrolls and make a fortune, that's enough!"

"They could even sell admission tickets for the Hokage Rock area!"

"Let's turn Konoha into the biggest entertainment center in the entire ninja world!"

Tsunade set the tone on the very first day.

"I'm going to usher Konoha into an era of massive infrastructure development!"

"Even if it means selling tickets, we must fill this 300 million tael hole!"

Lu Jiu looked at the domineering woman in front of him.

Although this plan sounds outrageous, and even a bit unlike what one would expect from a proper ninja village.

But for some reason, he suddenly felt that Konoha might really be saved.

"Yes, Lord Hokage!"

Lu Jiu responded loudly.

Outside the door, Naruto and Sasuke exchanged a glance.

"It seems so."

Naruto said in a low voice.

"Our village is about to become lively."

Sasuke nodded.

"As long as I can become stronger, I'm willing to do anything, even if it means performing for money."

A new era in Konoha was ushered in with a single kick from Tsunade.
