During peacetime, there wasn't much for the Logistics Division to do, which was why
Tsunade felt free to sneak out and drink.
"....."
The corpse was soon delivered to the Intelligence Division, but what surprised the Hokage was that Danzo showed up shortly after, requesting to speak with him.
"Sarutobi, I need this corpse for some research," Danzo said, his voice calm and unwavering. "Of course, only after we've extracted all the information from it."
What did Danzo want to do with a corpse?
The Third Hokage didn't think much of it and agreed right away.
Once all the secrets from Fuguki Suikazan's body were uncovered, the corpse wouldn't serve much other purpose anyway. Since Danzo had asked for it, it was only natural to let him have it.
Danzo didn't press for anything else and left without further discussion.
Puffing on his pipe, the Third Hokage took a deep drag and mused to himself, "It seems putting Tsunade in charge of the Logistics Division was the right call."
After Tsunade took control of the division, she had seized the upper hand over Danzo and the Council. They didn't dare to provoke her or cause any trouble with the Hokage, afraid that Tsunade might withhold resources from them.
Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado managed to make do, but without the lucrative perks of the Logistics Division, they were left scrambling to find benefits for their clans elsewhere.
But for Danzo, it was different. Without access to the Logistics Division, his Root operations were crippled―he had to rely on the division for every supply: weapons, equipment, even medical supplies.
And now that Tsunade was in charge, Danzo would have to be crazy to make an enemy of her.
At first, the Third Hokage had been hesitant to hand over the division to Tsunade, but now, it was clear that the decision had been spot-on.
Ah, my judgment is always sharp, he thought, allowing himself a brief moment of self- congratulation, since no one was around to see him gloat.
As for confronting Mist Village about their actions, that would have to wait until they extracted all the secrets from Fuguki Suikazan's corpse.
In Mist Village, routine patrols usually lasted three to five days. With no survivors left to report back, Mist Village remained completely unaware that Fuguki Suikazan was already dead.
