Chapter 154: Kakashi's Speculation
Kakashi and Asuna came to the door of the Hokage's office and knocked on the door, "Please come in." A woman's voice came from inside, and Kakashi opened the door when he heard the sound and led Asuna inside.
"Kakashi. Who is this?" Tsunade, who was originally dealing with the work at hand, was about to ask the other party what was the matter when he saw Kakashi come in, but he found that he was not the only one who came in, so he asked suspiciously.
"This is the princess of the Iron Country, Asuna. Kakashi introduced Asuna to Tsunade, and then said to Asuna, "This is the fifth Hokage. Senju Tsunade. ”
It's even more beautiful than in the pictures. Asuna thought about it after seeing Tsunade sitting in the position of the third Hokage two years ago, and compared herself with the previous photo on the black market, and then felt that it was rude for her to look at the other party like this, so she hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry." ”
"It doesn't matter. Tsunade looked at Asuna in front of him, smiled and said, "It's just that I haven't received any news about the Iron Country Princess's coming to Konoha before. Tsunade was puzzled by the sudden visit of the neutral princess in front of him.
"I didn't come to Konoha as a princess, but in my own name. Recently, I started training in the ninja world, but when I was on a mission a few days ago, I found a notebook, and when I opened it, I found that it contained the contents of the Hyuga clan's soft fist and white eyes, and I was going to ask Hinata to confirm the contents first. But I didn't expect her to be in Konoha right now, so I plan to wait for her father to come back tomorrow and hand it over to him. ”
Asuna stepped forward and placed the note in front of Tsunade, but Tsunade just looked at the note in front of him, and did not want to pick it up and open it to confirm whether the contents were true, but observed the note, "It seems that this note has a certain history, and it is still very well kept." "Looking at the traces left by the years, there is no damage.
"Hmm. Asuna nodded, "That's why I'm going to come to Konoha to check if the notes are true." ”
"You put this notebook away first. Higaku will be back tomorrow. Wait until tomorrow and hand it over to him yourself. ”
"I see. When Asuna heard Tsunade's words, she didn't refuse, but took back the notes that had been placed on the table, and said with a smile.
"As for the room, I'll have someone prepare it for you later. Even if you're not coming as a princess, there are some etiquettes that are essential. After Tsunade finished speaking, the sound of [knock] sounded. Then the door opened, revealing a woman with black hair holding a pink pig in her hand and a girl with cherry hair.
"Mute. How's Sakura's training?" Tsunade asked with a smile after seeing the two of them come in.
"It's good. Although there are still some flaws, Sakura's progress has been great. Shizune said with a satisfied smile.
"Sakura-chan, it's really you. After hearing their conversation, Asuna also confirmed that the girl with cherry blossom hair in front of her was Sakura-chan, whom she had met two years ago, and said happily.
"Are you Asuna?" Sakura looked surprised when she saw Asuna, she didn't expect Asuna to be here. "Why did you suddenly come to Konoha?" and was also excited and curious about Asuna's sudden visit.
"Hmm. Because of my experience in the ninja world, when I passed through Konoha, I wanted to visit everyone by the way. Asuna didn't talk to Sakura about the notes.
"I see. "Ahem" Just as Sakura and Asuna were chatting one by one, Tsunade coughed a few times at this time, "Sakura-chan, it's not too late, let's stop today's training." You can have a good chat, too. ”
"Hmm. Thank you, Master. "If it was before, she would definitely refuse, but today Asuna rarely came to Konoha, so she readily agreed. "See you tomorrow. Master. Kakashi-sensei. ”
"Hmm. See you tomorrow. Tsunade and Kakashi smiled in response, and Sakura pulled Asuna out of the office.
"What, do you feel uncomfortable watching your students improve?" said Tsunade as Sakura and the two of them left, looking at Kakashi's thoughtful eyes.
"How is that possible?" Kakashi said, but there was some frustration in his voice, "I'm just thinking about Asuna's question. ”
"The princess of the Iron Country, she's quite strong, and although I haven't fought against her, I can intuitively feel that she's very strong. Even stronger than you and me. Tsunade said solemnly after hearing Kakashi's words.
"You're stronger than Tsunade-sama?" Shizune looked at the two of them in shock after hearing Tsunade's words. I hope you can see from their eyes that the other person is just joking.
"It's true. But what I'm thinking about is not her strength, but why is she so sure that what is recorded in it is the white eyes and soft fists of the Hyuga clan?"
"She's seen the contents, so she's guessing it's white-eyed and jujiquan. What's wrong?" Tsunade remembered what Asuna had just said, and Asuna had said that she wanted Hinata to confirm first.
This is the biggest problem, when she said that it recorded white eyes and soft fists, there was nothing that could make people suspicious, but she was very sure that what was recorded in it must be what she said. ”
"What do you mean?"
"And she already knew that Hinata wasn't in Konoha before she came to Konoha. Kakashi continued before Tsunade could finish his words.
"The circus that Hinata escorts stops to perform in some towns to earn some money for their journey. Before the show, there would be some trinkets and the like, and Asuna didn't notice that the hairpin on her head was one of the accessories given by the circus. Kakashi recounted what he had observed when he brought Asuna here, "I thought she had taken it by while watching a circus show in the past, but this idea was quickly overturned by me, because the numbers on the hairpin proved that it was made in the last few days, and there was a little bit of blood on her pants, which from the color of her pants was accidentally stained recently, which made me even more sure that Asuna had been to the circus recently, and not more than two days." ”
"You mean she already knew Hinata wasn't in Konoha before she came to Konoha?" Tsunade said with a frown at listening to Kakashi's speculation.
"Hmm. And I'm sure she hasn't read the contents of the notebook. It says that the white eyes and jujiquan were told to her by others. ”
"You mean someone ordered her to do this?" This attention-grabbing way reminded Tsunade that Asakura had also infiltrated Konoha in this way two years ago, "Mute." Immediately send someone to the gate to see if there are any suspicious characters entering Konoha, especially those old people with inconvenient legs and feet, pay attention to it. ”
"Yes. Shizune heard it and left the gate to Konoha.
"Kakashi. Is there anything you want to say?" After leaving in silence, Tsunade closed his eyes and sighed and said, she knew a little about the relationship between Asakura Ha and him.
"Nope. Kakashi finished and left.
"Sakura-chan, you just called Hokage a master?" Asuna asked curiously after leaving the office.
"Hmm. After everyone left, I decided to learn from Tsunade-sama and let her teach me medical ninjutsu. It's you, how are you doing these two years?"
"It's good. It's just that when Lily trains, it's harder. ”
"Lily?"
"It's Alpha. As Sakura didn't know Alpha's real name, Asuna had no choice but to explain. "Lily is her real name. ”
"Oh. I see. Sakura nodded, and although she didn't know why Alpha was using a kana, she didn't ask much. "By the way, let's go find Ino together, after all, it's rare for you to visit. So he proposed.
"When I first came back to Konoha again, I met Terumi from Fog Hidden Village, so I asked him to help me inform the others to meet at the yakiniku restaurant. After all, it would be a pity if everyone didn't come out to get together in Konoha. ”
"Of course. Sakura smiled and said, "By the way, how did Asuna know A-Yi?"
"We've met once before. At that time, he and Naruto were planning to go to Casting Country. So we just met. After explaining again, Asuna asked her about her relationship by the way, "It's you, how are you and Sasuke?"
"Sasuke. Sakura looked up at the waning sunset after hearing Asuna's words, "He left Konoha." ”
"That's right. There are a lot of ninjas who "thought Sakura meant that Sasuke was out on a mission," no. He left Konoha to find Orochimaru. ”
"What do you mean?" He's become a traitor. Sakura nodded and acquiesced to Asuna's guess.
"I'm sorry, I" "It's okay. For Asuna's apology, Sakura smiled to show that she didn't care.
"Asuna, what kind of person do you think Terumi is? Sakura remembered that Terumi always talked about the threat theory of Asakura Ha, so she was curious to ask Asuna, who liked Asakura Ha, and was worried that she would quarrel with the other party because of Asakura Ha later.
"Sakura, you ask this because you're worried that I'll quarrel with Ah Yi because of Ah Ye's relationship later, right? But it was quickly explained directly by Asuna.
"Hmm. Sakura didn't bother to hide it, because she didn't want to see two friends arguing in front of her.
"Don't worry, I won't quarrel with him because of such a thing, after all, it is his speculation and thoughts, and I will not quarrel with him about this so-called future until it is confirmed. Asuna sighed.
"What's wrong?" sighed. Looking at Asuna's inexplicable sigh, Sakura asked curiously.
"Nope. Asuna shook her head, she was worried about whether Asakura had already entered Konoha because she always felt that Kakashi had sensed that something was wrong with her, "It's nothing. "Hurry up, if it's too late, it's not a good start to keep people waiting too long." Said to Sakura behind her. Sakura sped up and followed.
