Chapter 185: Cistanche
Tsunade is one of the best medical ninjas in Konoha Village, and there are too many casualties in the battle with the Land of Thunder this time, and he needs some precious medicinal materials to use in his medicine.
There is a kind of medicinal herb called Cistanche, the stem is fleshy, the upper part is tapered, the leaves are numerous, scaly, spiral-arranged, pale yellowish-white, no petioles; The lower lobes are tightly arranged, broadly ovate or tri-ovate, linear-lanceolate. bracts linear-lanceolate or ovate-lanceolate, sparsely hairy or nearly glabrous; calyx bell-shaped, lobes nearly ballpoint pen-shaped; The corolla is cylindrical bell-shaped, the flowers are yellowish-white, light purple, and turn tan after drying, with 2 longitudinal bright yellow protrusions in the tube; The ovary is superior, with yellow dense glands at the base, the columella is slender, the apex is folded inward, and the stigma is nearly spherical.
This herb is very effective for the wounded, but it is very harsh on the growing environment, only growing in the desert Gobi environment. It is known as 'desert ginseng'.
There is almost no desert in Konoha Village, so they can't find this precious medicinal herb in Konoha. They were looking for a place in the desert Gobi, so they preferred the land of sand.
In the natural Gobi Desert like the Land of Sand, Cistanche is the most numerous. So Tsunade took Hachiki Shuoshige, the first-class master of Konoha Village, to the border of the Sand Country.
They just want to find more Cistanche and try not to harass the Land of Sand.
So there were only two of them, and they were lightly armed and didn't bring anything aggressive, that is, Qimu Shuomao brought a knife.
It took the two of them nearly a month to reach the junction of the Land of Fire and the Land of Sand.
"Tsunade-sama, why did you choose me to go with you?"
Tsunade said in a deep voice, "White Fang, am I old?" I'm almost the same generation as you, so why do you call me Lord or yours? ”
Tsunade is a straightforward person. She doesn't like kind words, and she doesn't like compliments.
Konoha has a nickname called "Konoha White Fang".
"Konoha White Fang" does not mean that this person's teeth are white, but that the knife he brought is called White Fang.
As long as you see that knife, you know that it is Sakumo Qimu of Konoha Village.
The Junction is a desolate desert with nothing.
But Tsunade is not in a hurry, knowing that such a precious medicinal herb as Cistanche is not as easy to see as expected.
"Tsunade-sama, I don't think I've found anything."
Sakumo Hachiki has said Tsunade-sama twice in a row.
Tsunade was a little angry at this time, she turned her head sideways, and said in a deep voice, "Why do you have to call me Lord." ”
"Because you are a master disciple of the three generations of Hokage, and you are also Lord Jiraiya, Orochimaru-sama is known as the 'Konoha Sannin', and you are also a medical ninja expert in the village. Shouldn't such a person be an adult? ”
Qimu Shuomao's words are a bit sycophant, but they are understandable. After all, it's all the truth!
Tsunade couldn't stand these compliments, and she smiled: "Next time, just call me Tsunade Ji, you don't have to be so rigid about these etiquette." ”
The two of them continued to look for Cistanche, and Tsunade's eyes lit up, and there was a Cistanche plant in front of him!
She called Shang Shuomao, "Let's see, is that Cistanche, or am I mistaken?" ”
Qimu Shuomao's eyes also widened, and the appearance of Cistanche was swaying in the wind.
"Yes, that's Cistanche!"
Tsunade was overjoyed, and pulled Shuo Mao to pick it.
But Sakumo Hachiki is a very cautious person, and he found a big problem, that Cistanche plant grows in the land of sand.
If you go rashly, I am afraid that you will give the enemy a suspicion of harassing other countries.
He told Tsunade about this.
Where can Tsunade manage so much, he must get what he sees. This is at stake for the lives of thousands of people in the Land of Fire!
"Isn't it just a small border? We are not going to harass the enemy, but to collect medicine. ”
"Tsunade-hime! I still don't think it's appropriate, it will have an impact on the relationship between the two countries! ”
Tsunade pointed to the small basket of Qimu Shuomao and said, "Shuomao! Don't forget our purpose, do you want to go home empty-handed? ”
Qimu Shuomao carried a small basket on his back, and of course he also hoped to pick more cistanche. He hesitated, but he acquiesced to Tsunade's approach.
So the two of them crossed the border and went to the land of sand to pick cistanche.
Soon they succeeded.
"Let's go!"
Accept it when you see it, this is the principle of Qimu Shuomao.
It is also a prudent approach, but also a life-saving approach.
But Tsunade saw something else.
It turned out that the cistanche plant was just the tip of the iceberg, and there was a piece of cistanche behind it.
That's the real victory.
Tsunade said in a deep voice: "Shuo Mao, do you just want to take a cistanche plant back to the leaves?" ”
"But ......"
Shuo Mao wanted to retreat, but in the face of Tsunade's repeated insistence, he had already picked one plant, so why not pick a few more?
So Hagi Sakushige was once again moved by Tsunade's words.
He knows that there is danger, but in the face of huge national interests, he will still do it without hesitation!
So he followed Tsunade to pick Cistanche inside.
One by one, one by one, and soon the small baskets were full.
However, they had gone some distance deep into the country of sand, so when they wanted to go back, they suddenly turned back and had a few kunai!
"Who are you?"
"You don't look like you're dressed like we're from the Land of Sand."
Although Tsunade and Hachiki Sakumo are ninjas of Konoha Village, they do not wear Konoha Village ninja clothes, nor do they bring Konoha Village's special weapons.
So Shuo Mao smiled and said: "We are past pharmacists, and we came here to collect medicines, and there is no malice, please believe us." ”
Not only did he smile, but he also raised his hands to show that he was not an enemy.
And Tsunade had her hands in her hands, if she had to fight, these sand country sentinels would have been killed a long time ago.
This time, there were 4 people in the secret post of the Sand Country, two of them with shuriken and kunai in their hands, and the other two came to search their bodies.
If Shuo Mao or Tsunade makes other moves, then the two people with shuriken and kunai can make corresponding moves!
Shuo Mao was very confident, because he and Tsunade were not here to invade the country of Sand in the first place, but Tsunade had a disdainful expression on his face.
"Hey, hey, can you have a woman in the search. I'm a girl, and I don't want other men to touch me. ”
There are differences between men and women, and they are present in all countries.
The Sand Country Secret Sentinel with a weapon gave a look. So both of them concentrated on searching Shuo Mao's body.
After all, women have been a vulnerable group for a long time, so they are not so wary of women.
Shuo Mao kept smiling, and he didn't think there should be any surprises.
But the unexpected happened!
