Tsunade shook her head and asked "What's the use of this head?". I said "Apparently this guy's soul and body has merged into one. So he doesn't die if his head is severed." Then I lifted my feet off his mouth. He started cursing "I'll kill you all you bastards". I then again stomped on his mouth and said "See, he's very much alive". Tsunade nodded and gestured an anbu to take the head to the interrogation department. Then finally, the cursing head of Hidan left the room. Tsunade asked Asuma to submit the details of the mission soon. Asuma nodded and left.
I stayed behind after Asuma left and asked "Tsunade san, what's happened all this time while I was gone? Can you fill me in?" Tsunade rubbed her temple and sat down, then she said "Many things happened since Naruto came back. It'll take a lot of time to explain". I also sat down and said "It's fine Tsunade san, I'm free anyway. Just tell me everything that happened. And by the way, where's Naruto and Sakura?" Tsunade said "They are on a mission with Kakashi. Now where do I start". Then she started telling me all that happened from the Kazekage incident to danzo and everything else.
Elsewhere, Kakashi, Naruto & Sakura were moving in search of Danzo. The said person in question was having his arm treated by Kabuto in one of Orochimaru's old hideouts. After Danzo left the village, he escaped to the Rice country to hide in one of Orochimaru's hideouts that he knows about. As he arrived there, he found Kabuto who was transformed into a snake like creature doing some experiments. He looked at Danzo and said "Well, look who's here, if it isn't Danzo sama. Looks like you have been found out and managed to escape". Danzo frowned and said "It's all because of Orochimaru's incompetence that he died in the hands of the Uchiha and this happened". Kabuto laughed and said "All of us underestimated the Uchiha kid and the son of the 4th Hokage". Danzo nodded and said "Now, treat me and we will get revenge".
At the Hokage's office, after hearing everything, I said "So, the 3rd Hokage has been exposed as well, that too publically and his face removed. It's sad. Anyway, what was the reaction of the people? Didn't it bring distrust among the villagers?" Tsunade shook her head and said "It was Shukaku's idea to let the villagers decide the sentence to the elders and the 3rd Hokage. So we did as told by the the unanimous decision of the people". I nodded saying "I see. So there was no issues. Anyway, it's sad that even after death, the 3rd Hokage was punished so badly".
Tsunade rubbed her temple and said "We did it to prove to the people that the village will punish even the Hokage if they do wrong". I nodded and said "Well, that's good and all, but I just pity that old man. This is what happenes if you are hungry for power. The old man always supported Danzo. I learnt that even he planned on controlling Minato behind the scenes, which backfired. So after Minato's death, he himself came back to power to avoid the next hokage finding out their plots. And I also learnt about the deaths of Sakumo Hatake and your brother Nawaki was due to Danzo".
Hearing this, Tsunade shouted "WHAT?!! What do you mean Sasuke? Explain clearly". I said "Hold your horses Tsunade san. Calm down. I'll tell you what I learned, but I don't have any proof about it". Tsunade sat back down and said "Fine, lets hear it". I nodded and said "I'll start with Sakumo Hatake. During the 2nd shinobi war, Sakumo became the war hero as he fought the sand village and was the best candidate for the next Hokage. Hiruzen and Danzo knew that they can't control him in anyway, so they sent him on an impossible mission along with the shinobi trained with Danzo and made him loose the mission, blaming him in front of all the people and watching him with anbu, making him look like a traitor and that led to him killing himself".
Tsunade nodded and asked "Now, about Nawaki. What did my little brother do to be killed?" I nodded and continued "I'm coming there Tsunade san. The next possible candidate to become the Hokage after the 3rd ninja war was the Senju princess Tsunade. Everyone knows that you cannot be controlled by someone. So Danzo & your sensei wanted you out of the village. What better option is there than plan and kill your loved ones? Also at that time, Danzo required an wood user to control Kushina too. So he worked with Orochimaru supplying orphans to him and when there was no progress, Orochimaru demanded a pure senju body. So your brother came into the picture. Two birds with one stone really. As they thought, you left the village & they got a senju body."
Tsunade frowned hearing this and shouted "Danzo, I'll get you for all this". I gestured her to stop and said "Tsunade san, you are the Hokage now. Calm down. What's done is done". Tsunade leaned back and muttered 'Sorry. It was all because of me. Nawaki'. I left her to her own thoughts and suddenly we heard a knock on the door. Tsunade sat properly and said "Come in". Kakashi, Naruto and Sakura entered. I looked at them and said "Yo, long time no see guys. How are you doing?" Sakura jumped yelling "Sasuke" and hugged me. Kakashi & Naruto asked "Sasuke, when did you get back?". I patted Sakura and said "Just got back in the morning. Then we all exchanged some pleasantries.
