On the sixth day, to Sasuke's surprise, Tsunade announced that she would return to the village, saying she realised that the village would be in greater mess if the medical department nefariously took over it instead, where she stopped the bet she had with Kakashi, admitting it was childish to have made it in the first place.
Kakashi's temporary team knew who she was referring to.
Danzo Shimura, the darkness of Konoha.
It was no surprise why Shino and Hinata knew Danzo, being heirs to their clan(in Hinata's case, a disputed heir to her clan), whose fathers had an extremely terrible view of him and the Root after certain incidents to the point of prohibiting anyone from their clan to have any contact with Root and informed them immediately if they knew anything related to Danzo.
Shizune, who knew Danzo through her master, understood and agreed with her reasoning and went to pack their bags they had left. (which were just thoughts and prayers)
Sasuke, however, who had the privilege of being the transmigrator, found her excuse hard to believe, doubting someone who would throw away Nono and Kabuto would have any interest in the medical department in the first place.
'Maybe Kakashi informed her about Yamato's origin, compelling her to go back and confront Danzo about this.' Sasuke deduced, believing Kakashi had to convince her somehow rather than continuing a bet that he would obviously lose.
He still wondered why he felt a sudden burst of Kakashi's chakra in the forest but didn't bother in the end when they packed their bags to go back to Konoha, thinking Kakashi was just practicing Purple Lightning and he was just overthinking things for no reason

When night fell, they began to set up a camp to sleep before continuing their way back to Konoha.
Unfortunately for Sasuke, he was the only one setting it up, when Shino and Hinata fell asleep, and the adults were already too intoxicated from drinking on their way. He was impressed by how smoothly they used the Body Flicker technique on the way while being drunk, giving him some interesting ideas.
'I should suggest Naruto use Body Flicker while training with his clones to speed up his training.'
Sasuke believed Naruto would be a true munchkin protagonist if he used it alongside his clone, multiplying his gains to several levels.
Unlike others, who develop a pseudo PTSD when using shadow clones for training, learning the hard way (source: Sasuke Uchiha), Naruto has the best vitality, where he casually uses multiple shadow clone jutsu as if he was using E-rank jutsu.
Though he may vomit a lot initially, he will thank Sasuke later for making him OP faster than usual.
'Phew, it's finally done.'
After a while of struggling, he managed to make a camp for six of them.
Considering both his teammates were in deep sleep, he carried them individually to their tent.
Shino was easy to carry, where the bugs were cooperative enough not to stay on Shino's body for the time being until he was finally laid on the tent.
Hinata however was extremely heavy, where Sasuke facepalmed.
'I forgot to tell her to remove the weights, no wonder her movement was sluggish.'
Sasuke was contemplating removing the weight by himself, particularly her chest region where the weight vest was worn, having no malicious thoughts, until he unzipped her cream-coloured hooded-jacket.
"Fuck." Sasuke cursed, and quickly zipped her jacket and escaped the tent with his reddened face.
'No horny thoughts, no horny thoughts, no horny thoughts!' He wished his hormones did not make him feel like that, considering mentally, he was far older than her, making him feel disgusted towards with himself.
Chanting his prayers, he collided with Tsunade, who seemed to have a fouler mood than usual.
"Did you sip from the bottle?"
'Huh? Oh yeah...she is drunk…'
"Ah yes." Sasuke lied, while distancing himself from the tent.
"Tsk-Tsk-Tsk, it seems you have beaten me and Kakashi already, truly his apprentice," Tsunade remarked in a self-deprecating tone, while chugging a wine bottle she had in her hand when she took it from Kakashi who slept after having just one sake.
'I think I should start my own sake selling business.'
While thinking of ways to sell alcohol to Tsunade to turn a profit, he was unprepared by her unfiltered sentences.
"The elders were truly corrupt to the core, having no remorse for massacring your clan by using your own brother while using my granduncle's prejudice to excuse their means."
Sasuke, who was embarrassed earlier, had already forgotten about it, and was staring at her with a bewildered expression.
"Sometimes I wish I could just slap my granduncle for raising snakes like them who in the name of prioritising the village, my grandfather and him died defending, simply enriched themselves and pushed their once allies to their grave if it endangered their interest."
Drunk Tsunade was seething, no longer able to restrain herself.
"If they continue any longer I won't be surprised if only their people remain, leaving others to die in the next shinobi world war."
She was on board with the Kakashi plan, feeling responsible for not reminding them of their place.
"Ack!" She softly cried when she looked at Sasuke's eyes.
'Sorry Lady Tsunade for my distasteful act, but my curiosity got the best of me.'
He thanked himself for gathering Senjutsu chakra in the middle of Tsunade's monologue, enhancing his Genjutsu for his EMS to take the opportunity.
'Should remember to weaken my prey's mental fortitude with alcohol, a side of strong depression and helplessness next time.'
Shutting down her consciousness, he began to dive deeper into her memory, representing it as a library.
Unlike the one he had seen from mercenaries, it was humongous, having all sorts of knowledge you can expect from the legendary healer.
But he wasn't interested in it, only focused on memories of yesterday to find the person who revealed the truth and had a smile after seeing her memory.
'Didn't think Raijin no Ken had the ability to store information like a video recorder around its surroundings, albeit it required you to be extremely good at controlling lightning like him to see and display content properly.'
Of course, the main focus was the information Kakashi shared with Tsunade, regarding Uzushiogakure
