Push Comes to Shove-Part 3
Sure enough, the Elders were right about not liking Tsunade's decision regarding Naruto, and letting him do what he wanted should someone try to mess with him. It was quite the shock and wake up call for Konoha to see the boy they hated suddenly retaliate against them. The first to feel his wrath was the payroll department following his return to the village after killing Orochimaru and Kabuto while bringing back Sasuke. They had tried to cheat him of the full amount from the bounties and mission pay stating "demon tax" along with some other nonsense. All with cruel smiles on their faces since they had done it before to him without fear of being punished by the higher-ups and Tsunade's Hokage predecessor.
If anything, they were encouraged to do it.
Naruto's response? Beating them bloody before throwing their bodies in front of the hospital. Naturally, the idiots wanted to press charges against him, and make a big deal about it before the Hokage. And why not? The people usually bitched and complained to the Third about the brat, even when Naruto didn't do anything at all.
However, they weren't dealing with the Sandaime Hokage. They were dealing with the Gondaime Hokage. As a result, Tsunade said she had absolutely no problem pressing charges against Naruto...provided they admitted to screwing the boy over for years on his mission pay, and had no doubt tried it prior to the beating he dished out on them. It made them go pale in fear knowing full well that admitting to such things to the Hokage would result in prison time and all assets were liquidated before being transferred to Naruto.
In short, Tsunade effectively shut them up. And to prove there were no hard feelings, the idiots in question were transferred out to another department that didn't involve Naruto at all.
But with significantly reduced pay on their end.
Sadly, it didn't end there with those bakas. As time progressed, Naruto had not received a warm welcome from many of the people in the village and he was not inclined to stand there taking it. The end result was piles of bodies being sent the hospital every other day regardless if they were Shinobi or civilian. Naturally, people tried to pressure Tsunade into doing something to "bring the demon under control again" or anything that would return things to the status quo.
Which basically involved having Naruto as their punching bag again.
Tsunade told them no and that they were getting what was coming to them for their own mistreatment of the boy since it was unwarranted from the start. If they wanted to file charges, it was there right, BUT she reminded the "poor victims" that doing so would require an investigation on her part into their past, and any previous actions they did to provoke Naruto into attacking them in the first place. She would make sure to dig up every dirty trick, act, abuse, and horror the people had done to the boy no matter how insignificant it may appear.
After all...she had to hear both sides of the story and find out which side was telling the truth.
Various other Shinobi were targeted too. Kakashi for one. The evaluation spar had been one of many beat downs Naruto had given him due to the fact the man was the student of the blonde's Father. Instead of protecting him as a child or teaching him when on a team, the asshole taught next to nothing, and focused entirely on Sasuke during that time.
Speaking of Sasuke, the Elders were moving for the Uchiha to have his punishment from being one of imprisonment to that of house arrest. Tsunade of course, denied it, stating they might as well have pardoned Itachi, or even Orochimaru if the man were still alive for all their past misdeeds. The information obtained from various sources at the dead Sannin's many bases revealed the Uchiha had tested his skills against the many prisoners Orochimaru collected. Sasuke had killed, crippled, maimed, and tortured many people either for training or to satisfy his various dark appetites. So why give this Uchiha any leeway at all? Because of his bloodline? It wasn't as special as everyone made it out to be given all you had to do was use flash bombs or other various methods that hurt a person's eyesight. Tsunade knew there were Shinobi that didn't have Dojutsu bloodline and were 10 times stronger than the Uchiha at the brat's age.
