  The otion at the I had reached a fever pitch, but Shin and his team were already ba Konoha.

  "Tsunade, why are you looking at us like that?"

  Shin asked, notig Tsunade's strange expression.

  "Shin-nii, did you fail the mission?" Konan rushed over, her face full of worry.

  "Fail? No way! We destroyed Iwa's supplies!" Kushina decred proudly.

  They might not have destroyed the supplies during transport, but they had pleted the mission heless.

  "Huh?" Tsunade was fused. "The whole camp is saying you failed."

  "Yeah, I even heard some people badmouthing Shin-nii! They were bming him!"

  Konan said, her eyes filled with anger.

  "Is that so?" Shin pohe situation.

  News of his mission failure had spread even before he returned? Someone must be behind this.

  "Someone's spreading rumors." Tsunade said, her voice ced with anger.

  "No, it's not that simple."

  Shin shook his head.

  "The mission was actually going to fail. We went to the location provided iel, but the Iwa transport never showed up. The intel was fake."

  If this had happened before, Shin would have assumed it was just faulty intel. But now he knew better. The intel was deliberately false.

  Someone had sabotaged him. His mission was meant to fail.

  If he hadn't received the System mission, he wouldn't have attacked the I aroyed their supplies. The mission would have failed.

  "The intel was fake?" Tsunade frowned.

  "Yes, it was fake. The Sandaime Hokage gave me false intel. He must be trying to damage my reputation."

  Shin analyzed the situation.

  He had been otlefield for a while now. He knew his reputation among the Konoha Shinobi was high.

  Perhaps Hiruzehreatened by his popurity.

  This i was definitely reted to Hiruzen and Danzō.

  And this tactic seemed familiar. It reminded Shin of Sakumo Hatake's tragic fate.

  "No wohey only gave me a mission scroll for su important mission."

  Hiruzen should have given him a proper briefing. But he had just handed him a scroll. He must have known Shin would fail.

  Unfortunately for Hiruzen and Danzō, Shin had infiltrated the I aroyed their supplies.

  "Shin, do you think this is reted to the Sandaime?" Tsunade asked.

  "What do you think?" Shin tered.

  "I think it is. And Danzō is probably involved too," Tsunade said angrily.

  "Let's go front that old man!"

  Tsuood up.

  "No need. He'll e to us soon." Shin pulled her back down.

  "That old man Hiruzen, always ag so kind and benevolent. I 't believe he'd do such a thing," Kushina said angrily, then g Tsunade.

  "Kushina, what are you looking at me for?"

  Tsunade frowned. She didn't like the look in Kushina's eyes.

  "Hiruzen is a bad guy. And I remember you're his student."

  Tsunade grabbed Kushina. She uood what Kushina was implying.

  "Kushina, don't fet, you're my student too. Aren't you insulting yourself?" Tsunade gred at her.

  "I was just kidding, Tsunade-nee! Let go of me!"

  Kushina quickly surrendered. She couldn't win against Tsunade like this.

  "Shin, what are you going to do?" Mikoto asked.

  "We pleted the mission. There's nothing to do. As for the future... we'll see. We always leave Konoha."

  Shin said with a chuckle.

  "It's not that serious, is it?"

  Tsunade looked at Shin, her aowards Kushina fotten.

  "It is. If Konoha doesn't want me, I won't stay. You know I'm not that attached to this vilge, Tsunade."

  Shin's expression was serious.

  "No matter what you choose, I'll support you," Tsunade said with a sigh.

  Shin waited for Hiruzen to arrive, but he didn't.

  ...

  Instead, it was Danzō.

  "Uzumaki Shin, I'm here to hold you atable." Danzō gred at Shin.

  "Danzō, have you fotten how you groveled before me st time?"

  Shin activated his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, his aura pressing down on Danzō.

  Danzō might be ag calm, but the sweat on his forehead betrayed his fear.

  "Uzumaki Shin, what are you doing?"

  Danzō didn't dare meet Shin's gaze. He was afraid of Shin's Genjutsu.

  Tsunade looked at the fearful Danzō, then remembered the st time Shin had used Genjutsu on him and she had beaten him up. She uood why he was scared.
