Chapter 117: Vortex
The golden afterglow of autumn still shines on the leaves. The autumn leaves of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info are fluttering like waves on this stone-paved road, and in the blink of an eye, it is late autumn close to the end of October. The whole village is also busy, not only because it is harvest season, but also because the middle ninja exam is about to be held.
The Chunin exam is held twice a year, once in January and February after spring break, and once in July. Because the exam in July this year was disrupted by Orochimaru, in the end, Sasuke and Shikamaru were only hastily selected. So after Konoha and Sand Shinobi discussed, the two villages decided to advance the first middle ninja exam next year, and the venue was still in Konoha.
Compared with the previous Zhongnin exam, this special event seems to have a much stronger political meaning. It is no longer a microcosm of the war between the allies, but it is like a proof of the good relationship between Sand Shinobi and Konoha to the ninja world. The corresponding assessment method has also changed.
But none of this has anything to do with Sasuke. He is already very forbearant and does not have to take the exam, and most of the members of the eleventh class cannot participate in this exam because of their identity. Nakashinobi is a formal ninja and is the backbone of every ninja village. If you want Tayuya and them to take the exam, it is estimated that the village will have to inspect it for a year, even if they already have the strength to surpass the ordinary middle ninja.
Early in the morning, the air was still wet and cold. As the Hokage, Tsunade was in the office early on to handle government affairs. Emotionally speaking, she was very reluctant to start working so early. But under the pressure of three generations and others, Tsunade can only fight the spirit.
"Well, here's this morning's document. I hope that Tsunade-sama will be able to complete the approval quickly. There was still something to do in the medical department, so I left first. ”
Sasuke's vacation stalled research in the medical department, and Shizun had to go to the medical department to help out while working as Hokage's secretary. Looking at the silence of the half-human-tall document and hurriedly leaving, Tsunade looked around with a probe, then rested his head on the document and began to take a nap.
She drank a little wine last night, and she couldn't get up so early today. To be honest, at this moment, how happy she was that her apprentice was sick and could give herself a chance to be lazy.
"Knock knock!"
The rhythmic and crisp knock on the door shattered Tsunade's dreams.
"Who is it in the morning? I don't remember having an appointment today! ”
The door opened, revealing Sasuke's smiling face.
"Tsunade, I'm looking for you."
"What, it's Sasuke. Don't smile so disgustingly and close the door quickly. ”
When Tsunade saw that it was Sasuke, the nerves that had been tense immediately relaxed. He threw the pen aside and piled up the papers in front of him and put them on his stomach again.
"Don't use documents as pillows. No, don't sleep, I'll give me a good job when I'm the Hokage. ”
Sasuke stepped forward to hold Tsunade's shoulders and shook back and forth, but was shaken away by a huge force.
"What are you doing, you don't know your pain if you're not in your place. But you, aren't you sick anymore? ”
Disturbed by Sasuke's sleep, Tsunade looked angry and said that Sasuke was pretending to be sick in one bite. Sasuke smirked, sure enough, this matter was not hidden from Tsunade, but fortunately, she did not continue to pursue it.
"Well, don't talk about that again, I know it's wrong. You see, I brought an apology gift today. ”
Sasuke smiled pleasantly, shaking a weather-beaten bottle in his hand by the way. The sound of tinkling water came out, making Tsunade feel for a while, and his eyes lit up.
"Oh? Is it wine? ”
"How is it possible, you drunkard wake me up!"
Sasuke struck Tsunade three times on the head with a hand knife. Tsunade didn't get angry, but instead looked at the bottle with a curious gaze.
"This is a sand iron bottle for making tea, specially used for you as an alcoholic to make sobering tea."
The so-called iron kettle is actually a kind of kettle used to make tea, which is directly placed on the fire to make tea, similar to the kind of kettle. The characteristic of the iron kettle is that the longer it is used, the better the taste of the tea will be.
And the iron kettle that Sasuke brought over is an old iron kettle made of sand iron, which is a high-end item in the iron kettle, and the price is generally more than 200,000 taels. Such a thing as an apology is not unforgiving.
"Cut, I think I'm going to be some kind of good wine."
Tsunade had a complaining tone on his lips, but his hands honestly pulled the iron bottle into his arms.
"Tell me, what's the matter with such a heavy gift so early?"
In an instant, his eyes and tone became formal, and Tsunade also entered the role of his Hokage, not just the master who was arguing with his apprentice. Sasuke also straightened up slightly when he saw this.
"I want to apply to leave the village for Class 11."
"The village is about to hold the middle ninja exam, where are your classes going?"
"Anyway, the middle ninja exam has nothing to do with us." Sasuke pouted as he spoke. "We're going to see the ruins of the Vortex Country."
Going to the country of Vortex was an idea Sasuke had before he went to meet Kurama Yakumo. And this idea became more and more firm after the eleventh class fought against Kakashi, Asma, and Red the three shinobi a few days ago.
In terms of qualifications alone, Sasuke's three subordinates are the best of the best. Tayuya and Zuojin used to be the guards of Orochimaru, and Xiang Ryu is a descendant of the Vortex clan and Asura. But in terms of strength, these three people can be said to be developmentally deformed at the moment. Aside from the impoverishment of the surgery, the incense is one of the biggest weaknesses.
The difference in strength is too far, and this can no longer be made up for by teamwork. Even though Kaori only exists in Sasuke's squad as a support ninja, he is so weak that he can easily be found and defeated by the enemy. And Sasuke, who values his partner, abandons Kaoru and ignores it, which may lead to the collapse of the entire team.
Illusion is more than Yuya, the backbone is close to the left, perceiving the incense, and dispatching himself in the center. It would be a shame if this perfect formation collapsed because one corner was too brittle. So Sasuke wants to focus on strengthening Kario's strength, at least to make her reach the average as soon as possible.
Then the ruins of the Vortex Country are a must-visit place for Class 11. Sasuke doesn't have much to guide in terms of Kao's talent, but maybe the inheritance of the Vortex Clan can be found in the ruins of Vortex Village. Moreover, the powerful sealing technique of the Vortex Clan may also allow Tayuya Zuo, who was already good at sealing, to redevelop a formation suitable for the team.
Of course, there are two very important reasons why Sasuke is buried in the bottom of his heart. One is to collect information about "life force", and the other is to break the seal of death on the souls of the four generations of Hokage.
"I see, you're not asking too much. But I will send someone with you, lest you learn badly outside. ”
Tsunade pondered for a moment and came up with this plan, apparently it was Sasuke's actions last time that frightened her. And Sasuke's eyelids jumped and he didn't object, and he didn't dare to object in this case.
"You only have two weeks at most. The first session of the November half-middle ninja exam is about to begin, and I hope you will be my representative as an examiner. This time can't be postponed any longer, and spring break will be in the future. ”
As the most promising lower ninja candidate in the last game, this one appeared as an examiner, which should also be a gimmick. No matter how you think about it, his Uchiha identity can attract the attention of those daimyos.
"And yes."
Speaking of which, Tsunade grinned evilly and elbowed Sasuke's soft underbelly.
"The third sister and brother of the Sand Country will also come, don't you have to prepare early?"
Sasuke's face couldn't help but flush when he heard this, and he broke free from Tsunade.
"Nosy, what do I have to prepare. When that's all said and done, I'll go first. ”
The door slammed shut, and Tsunade smiled happily as he looked at Sasuke's embarrassed figure. After the office was quiet, Tsunade's face suddenly became cautious, and he sensed that there was indeed no one around, so he quietly opened the lid of the iron bottle.
Looking through the narrow mouth, you can faintly see three small bottles, next to some crushed ice for refrigeration. Tsunade took a drunken breath, his face flushed.
"Three bottles of chilled Daiginjo, what a ghost you really deserve!"
