Chapter 24: Unfulfilled Promises
In Naruto's ward, Shikamaru asked about Sasuke's situation at the time, and Naruto was distressed, "He's gone, and Jingzang and I tried our best, but we couldn't stop him." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Sakura outside the door just heard this sentence, and the loss in her heart can be imagined.
Outside Dingji's ward, Ino saw Akido Dingza, it turned out that he couldn't visit Dingji at this time, and Dingji hadn't woken up yet. Ino knew that Ding Ji's life was not in danger, and it was only a matter of time before he woke up, so he was relieved. Ding Zuo sighed, "If it weren't for Tsunade-sama, if it weren't for you and Shiro taking first aid measures in time and sending Ding Ji back, Ding Ji would only be afraid of ...... now."
Tsunade walked towards the hospital with a depressed face, just now he transferred Koharu and Mito Menyan to the Hokage's office and criticized Tsunade fiercely, nothing more than accusing Tsunade of improper scheduling, and sent a group of half-baked shinobi and a new middle ninja without any experience to perform A-level tasks, but the task was upgraded to S-level and ended miserably.
The two advisors easily grabbed Tsunade's handle, and naturally they wouldn't let her go easily, and they spat out there...... "Sharingan fell into Orochimaru's hands, you should know how serious the consequences are!" "If you had temporarily suspended some of the missions at that time, let Kakashi lead the team, and send 5 shinobi, this kind of thing would definitely not have happened!" "In short, if you encounter such an emergency in the future, you must discuss with us first, and don't make a rash decision!" Even your teacher, Ape Fei Ri, had to follow our advice back then, you are still young, and you still have a lot to learn!"
The two of them continued to count all kinds of inconsistencies since Tsunade became the Hokage, ranging from task decisions to Tsunade's drunkenness and mistakes. In fact, the two of them were just dissatisfied with Tsunade's lack of respect for the elderly, and they were unwilling to discuss things with them, which made the two of them feel like they were in power. Green tendons appeared on Tsunade's hand, "These two old immortals are here again relying on the old and selling the old, pointing fingers, and they even think I am the little girl back then......" Shizune found that Tsunade couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to go crazy, and hurriedly said, "Tsunade-sama, it's time for you to go to the hospital, that Jun Maro's illness hasn't been cured yet!"
Koharu and Menyan also remembered this, so they let Tsunade go, "Hurry up and cure that captive, Orochimaru's information is the first priority." "If there is any difficulty, you can discuss it with us, maybe we will have a solution, our experience is not comparable to you." Tsunade nodded in agreement, and after the two left, an angry Tsunade struck hard, and all the glass in the office was scrapped. Silent had to arrange for someone to reinstall the glass with a bitter face, this is not the first time, the workers who installed the glass are already familiar with the road, and even the prepared glass is ready.
Tsunade walks into the hospital and sees Sakura in a daze outside Naruto's hospital room. Tsunade pushed the door open, and the two entered. When Naruto saw Sakura, he was speechless and turned his face away, and the discomfort in his heart can be imagined. Tsunade laughed, "You're quite energetic!" Naruto finally spoke, "I'm sorry, Sakura-chan!" Sakura was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Why do you want to apologize?" Sakura walked to the window, "You must be messing around again, aren't you? Naruto Nono said, "Sakura-chan, isn't that ......" Sakura shouted, "It's been a nice day!"
Naruto was anxious, "Sakura-chan, I'll definitely keep my promise...... Because I said it was a lifelong promise. Sakura said lightly, "Thank you, Naruto, that's enough...... Shikamaru said, "Sakura-chan, this guy, because ......" Naruto interrupted Shikamaru and smiled, "I've always done what I say, this is my ninja!"
The sun shines into the ward, and the whole room is filled with warmth. Naruto's laughter quickly infected Tsunade, Shikamaru, and Sakura. Naruto looked at Sakura and secretly vowed, "Keep you away from grief and pain...... I just want to protect your smile. Sakura, however, felt that she was too useless, and would only cry when something happened, relying on Naruto and Li, but she didn't do anything.
"Naruto, what are you bragging about?" Jing Zang walked in with the help of Shiro and Chinatsu, "No matter how you explain it, this time everyone pursued Sasuke, but they actually lost their troops and lost their success. Hinata and Yakumo held hands and followed, Naruto angrily, "You like to splash cold water on me, really, Sakura finally laughed." Yakumo also said, "That is, in fact, this operation, we have at least reduced Orochimaru's strength. ”
Chixia nodded, "Yes, the four members of the Otoshinobi were all killed by us, and they are Orochimaru's elite subordinates. Shiro asked, "Tsunade-sama, didn't they capture a captive with Jingzang?" Shikamaru also remembered, "Yes, if we know the information about Orochimaru from him, we still have a chance to get Sasuke back." ”
Naruto immediately became excited, "Let's go and ask right away!By the way, who is the captive?" said Akira Masase, "Kaguya-kun Maro, the one who wiped out all of your shadow clones." In terms of strength, he already has the strength of Shangnin, and he is a respectable opponent. Naruto remembered, "It's the guy who plays with bones, he's really strong." How did you defeat him?"
Jing Zang smiled bitterly, "Jun Ma Lu's chronic illness attack, and we were defeated together, otherwise, the outcome is unpredictable!" Tsunade also had a headache, "Jun Ma Lu's blood disease is very troublesome. He's still in a coma, and I'm trying to figure it out. The old man and the elder group also attached great importance to this person, but the information of the Kaguya clan was too small, and it was not easy to save his life now. ”
Bai didn't remember Jun Malu for a long time, after all, they hadn't seen each other for nearly ten years, and they met by chance back then, and they didn't ask each other's names. Shikamaru said, "Can you please ask Uncle Kaichi to do something?" Tsunade shook his head, "It's too risky, if Jun Mario suddenly dies halfway, it will put Yamanaka Kaichi in danger." ”
Jing Zang also said, "And the living will always know more things than the dead, so you can't use such an extreme method." But I'm worried that Orochimaru will take steps to move his current stronghold. Tsunade nodded, "I've thought about this too, I just hope that this person can be healed as soon as possible." In short, a few of you should take good care of your injuries, and the others should strengthen themselves as soon as possible, and we will take action at any time. ”
Everyone is thinking about the reason for the failure of the last operation, mainly because of the lack of strength, and they were forced by the opponent to fight separately. Seeing that the atmosphere was a little solemn, Jing Zang laughed at Naruto loudly, saying that Naruto was like a dried corpse mummy, half-dead. Naruto was so angry that he ridiculed Jing Zang's half-body failure, and he had to be supported by a girl when he walked.
The tail of the pair of living treasure cranes blamed each other in the ward, and Jing Zang laughed, "Naruto, you are really incompetent, the dignified future Hokage was actually flattened by someone...... Naruto immediately fought back, "You are not the same, you occupy the right time and place, and you were almost made off by that glasses, it seems that the glasses are also a shinobi, right?"
Jing Zang feigned anger, "Bastard, are you mistaken, I saved you, if I hadn't arrived in time, you would have been clicked by the glasses!" Naruto pouted, "You can use the Shadow Clone, it's not all about borrowing my chakra." If you don't have me......" The quarrel between the two began to escalate, and the mess was pulled out, and everyone couldn't help laughing.
Tsunade went out, "I'd better go and see how Kimimaru is doing!" Shikamaru also said, "I'll go and see if it's better for Dingji." Sakura walked outside, "Li's injuries should be almost healed!" Bai apologized in a low voice, and together with Chinatsu, he helped Jingzang to walk to the other ward, "Don't be embarrassed here, okay?" Yakumo also sighed, "Really, if you two don't play treasure for a day, you will feel uncomfortable!" Hinata flicked her fingers slightly, "Jingzang and Naruto are so energetic, they are so energetic after being seriously injured!" Jingzang and Naruto were speechless, Hinata really thought differently.
Everyone went out, Naruto wondered, "Who sent the flowers in front of the bed, why didn't you see them?, how do I remember these little things...... The most important thing now is to heal his injuries quickly, and as soon as there is news from Junmaro, he will immediately go and bring Sasuke back to the village. ”
There was a loud noise outside the Konoha Hospital, Naruto opened the window and looked out, and Jiraiya appeared outside standing on a huge toad that he had never seen before. "The legendary ninja, the erotic novelist, and the master of the four generations of Hokage...... Ahh Jiraiya decided to officially accept Naruto as a disciple, and in the next 3 years, he should train Naruto well and make him a top master.
Jing Zang returned to the room and lay down on the bed. He didn't bother to look at the loud noise outside the window, "It must be the good-lust immortals who came to see Naruto, regardless of them." I want to eat apples......" Shiro chuckled and sat in front of the bed peeling apples, and Hinata fiddled with the flowers on the table, which was a flower arrangement technique. Chinatsu opened the window, and the setting sun shone in, and then sat on the other side and listened to Jingzang brag unashamedly about the truth about the three battles of the end valley in Konoha history.
Yakumo took out his sketchpad, listened to the birds chirping outside, smiled and began to paint, and the whole room was immersed in a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere. Jingzang was a little depressed as she spoke, and Qianxia asked, "What's wrong? Isn't it uncomfortable?" Jingzang was a little distressed, "I boasted in front of Ino that I would definitely be able to bring Sasuke back, isn't this a dishonesty?
Bai stuffed a piece of apple into Jingzang's mouth, "Okay, I've already explained it to Ino for you, and Ino also knows that everyone did their best, so I didn't blame you." Jingzang chewed the apple, "That's good, when I'm well, I'll apologize to Ino in person." I can ask Ino and Sakura to go for a cold drink together......" The five of them were discussing which cold drink was better when there was a knock on the door outside, and Chinatsu walked over and opened the door, and Sarutobi walked in.
Jiraiya received Akatsuki's exact information, and their target was Naruto. Naruto was annoyed, "Let them go! there's no time to waste now." Naruto thinks that if he doesn't hurry up and recover Sasuke now, Orochimaru may take over Sasuke's body, and Kimimaro used to talk about these things during the fight.
Jiraiya sighed, Naruto already knew the true purpose of Orochimaru to get Sasuke. Jiraiya told Naruto not to underestimate his intelligence network, he had investigated Orochimaru's immortality technique, and he had to be reincarnated into a new body again after 3 years, and Orochimaru did not wait for Sasuke, so he had to be reincarnated urgently in Phantom Pill, which means that it doesn't matter if he has 3 years in the future. Naruto suspected that Jiraiya was deliberately lying to himself, "You didn't lie to me, did you?" Jiraiya told Naruto with certainty that this was indeed the truth, and there was not a word of falsehood.
Naruto breathed a sigh of relief, and Jiraiya reminded Naruto, "You better forget about Sasuke! A big reason why you failed this mission is that Sasuke volunteered to find Orochimaru." No matter what you do, his heart will not change. I've seen too many ninjas like this, and Sasuke and Orochimaru are the same kind of people. Give up the idea of bringing him back, and die before it's too late, for only a conceited fool would do it. Naruto was furious, "He's nothing to you, but Sasuke is my friend!"
Jiraiya got angry, "Do friends hurt their partners? Look at your miserable situation now, think about the other partners who were scarred and almost killed in order to help you recover Sasuke, how long will you be stupid?"
Jiraiya recalls that he chased Orochimaru back then, and he also chased it to the vicinity of Ending Valley, hoping to try his best to convince Orochimaru not to leave, because they have been good friends since childhood. Orochimaru laughed at Jirai, who was also a rotten good person who lacked roots, and didn't notice anything. Jiraiya also asked Orochimaru to think again, and Orochimaru rushed up, "It's ridiculous, there must be a limit to stupidity!" A fierce battle took place, and in the end, no matter how much Jiraiya pleaded and persuaded him, he couldn't stop Orochimaru's departure, and the painful ending was all his own powerlessness and regret.
Jiraiya said, "I don't want you to repeat my mistakes." If you want to chase Sasuke, you don't have to talk about cultivation. However, you are now under the watchful eye of the shadows, and you are forbidden to leave Konoha Village. You are not an ordinary imp, but a nine-tailed human pillar force that is targeted by Xiao. If you don't listen to me and act on your own, I have only one way, to hand you over to the shadows and lock you up in the village. One day, you will face an opponent who is more powerful than Orochimaru, give up Sasuke! This is a fate that is destined sooner or later, don't add unnecessary torment and pain to yourself. Forget him, give him up!"
Jiraiya emphasized that in addition to ninjutsu and strength, ninjas must also have accurate judgment and an eye for choosing affairs, "If you want to survive as a ninja, you have to learn to be smarter." It's not okay to be stupid, and the painful hardships are the reality of this world. Naruto said, "If that's how smart it is, then I'd be stupid for the rest of my life." Even if it's a person, I'll study more powerful ninjutsu, and I'm going to save Sasuke, and I'm going to beat Akatsuki to pieces. Don't abandon or give up, this is the spirit of Konoha Flow! This sentence seems to have been taught to me by Jingzang, hehe......
