The news of Sasuke's killing of Orochimaru reaches Konoha.

In the Hokage's office, Tsunade sat behind a pile of papers with a calm face, his fingers tapping on the table, frowning and thinking about something.

Silent stood aside, calmly sorting out the pieces of information.

"The potential of that kid from the Uchiha family is really terrifying." There was also one person in the office, who stayed in the village, and he leaned against the wall on one side and said with emotion.

"Hmm." Tsunade stared at the table, looking silent.

The news of the death mentioned in the intelligence is like the obituary of a former friend, although the companion has long since parted ways on the opposite side, they used to be the same three ninjas, and it can't help but feel complicated.

"Destroyed in the way of his own eternal life......"

They still have a lot to do, and putting aside their superfluous emotions, Jiraiya said, "Tsunade, how are you going to deal with it?" ”

He walked over and flipped through the pile of information from all sides that Mute had put out, and this matter could obviously trigger many aspects, because of the powerful destructive power contained in it, Konoha could not sit idly by.

Tsunade rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Sasuke's next step is to find Uchiha Itachi." ”

"Hehe, of course...... Hmm, north, south...... It is said that traces of Sasuke have been found in many places. Jiraiya looked at it and said, "The other party devoured the Great Snake Pill, and inherited the inheritance in disguise, so he calmly went around the many secret places first...... Looks like I've found some help. ”

"Finally ...... in the direction of the northern part of the Fire Country"

The Land of Fire is located in the center of the continent and has a vast territory, but the world is basically at the level of productivity of an agricultural society, and the population is far from dense enough after being far away from the capital area, so even in a rich country like the Land of Fire, many places are still covered by forests, and villages and towns are scarce.

Tsunade thought for a moment and turned his head to say something to Shizune when the office door opened.

But it was Naruto who rushed to hear the news.

"Grandma Tsunade, did Sasuke kill Orochimaru? Let's go out and bring him back! ”

Seven or eight seconds after Naruto rushed in, Kakashi walked in slowly with a book of intimacy heaven in his hand, "That, Hokage-sama...... The adult is also here, I stopped this kid. ”

Be concise and reasonable.

"Hahaha, it looks like you're going to have to get Naruto done first." Jiraiya laughed.

This situation is not strange, and it has been Sasuke Sasuke Yubai Teacher Yubai Shouting ...... Behind Kakashi, Tsunade also saw Sakura-chan looking carefully through the crack in the door, and she sighed

……

The sky cleared, but scattered dark clouds continued to drift by, fast or slow, and on this ordinary day, the Hokage's office was a little lively, and the adults stabilized the young man who had their best friend, and in the face of the progress of the world, they began to prepare accordingly.

Because of Sasuke's whereabouts, he looked for Itachi and then faced the whole of Akatsuki; And Naruto and the others want to capture Sasuke, and Naruto is the Nine-Tails Pillar Force, which belongs to Xiao's target; Intelligence shows that Akatsuki has approached the territory of the Fire Nation in order to capture the Tailed Beasts...... Linked by various factors, Konoha is going to come up with a battle plan.

It was naturally reckless to rush into action, but the initial intentions and decisions had already come down. Capture Uchiha Itachi alive to attract Sasuke, and send two squads in numbers.

It was the next afternoon that Makai learned of the village's intentions.

Facing Xiao's battle, and Brother Yubai is currently Xiao's belonging. Mai's discouraged heart at Tsunade not allowing her to join Class 7 is pulled again and becomes intense.

This is in the same category as her intentions. Makai has been firm in his beliefs, and he doesn't want to just listen to the news from afar in some good or bad weather.

People haven't set off yet, but it must be in the near future, and she can't afford to miss it.

Sakura said that she would intercede with her, but Mayi went alone in the evening, and the things she was bothered shouldn't be entangled with her sister.

"Sister Shizun, let me in......"

"No, Tsunade-sama heard that it was a request to participate in the battle, so he said that there was nothing to say, so you should go home obediently."

"I'm already a ninja." At the door of a mansion, Mao begged for silence in a kimono, "The reasonable dispatch does not violate the rules of the village......"

Shizune looked at the sincere girl in front of her and shook her head, "Stupid, Tsunade-sama is the Hokage, and you're really determined that you still have a theory with her." ”

The real clothes are at the door, and they don't admit defeat.

The girl's stubborn performance made Shizune feel difficult, since Zhenyi came to study under Tsunade, she can be said to have watched the other party grow up for a few years, and she naturally loves it in her heart, but she can't help with the other party's request this time.

"Tsunade-sama is for your own good, the battle against Xiao is a very dangerous mission, the enemy is far stronger than you think, you didn't look at it the other day...... The black stele we mourn together......"

Shizune avoided the dead and continued, "That happened after the battle with Akatsuki, and you did make a lot of progress, and it can even be said that you have received the true inheritance of Tsunade-sama, but ......"

Listening to these words, Mayi was very familiar, when she first proposed it to Tsunade-sensei, the other party was also so affectionate and reasonable, but she felt that it shouldn't be. She practiced diligently and studied, with hardships and bottlenecks, and overcame them one by one to this day - if she hadn't missed the date, she might have been in the middle of the year.

After learning so many ninjutsu and doing so many tasks, isn't becoming a ninja just to be able to do something, just like the explanation of the will of fire in the textbook, she became stronger, not stupidly to become stronger day by day in order to become stronger!

Otherwise, after so many efforts, they are still waiting in the same place...... What is the difference between her now and the little girl who was weak in the fishing village in the past, and who could only hide in the hut and cry after her brother's accident?

"My strength is fine, that Uzumaki, isn't Naruto Uzumaki okay, I think I'm stronger than him." Mai said seriously.

In the barbecue shop, the yellow-haired boy was talking about recovering his companion, and Mao couldn't help but think of the glittering scene, and they were on the same side.

"I know your schoolwork is sometimes better than Sakura......" Mute is angry and funny, but if it doesn't work, it just doesn't work.

"Then I'll wait here until Tsunade-sensei agrees."

This is the last effort that Mao feels he can do.

“……”

There is no way to mute, seeing that the persuasion is fruitless, I think that if I hang the other party, I will know that it will be difficult to give up.

The door closes.

Makai really waited there, until all the smoke in the village dissipated in the dark sky, and the lanterns of fireflies were lit on the streets one after another.

Sister Sakura came, she went into the mansion once, but she didn't succeed, and she was led out by Shizune, saying that she was scolded by a stinking person.

The real clothes waited, standing solemnly and solemnly in front of the heavy wooden door, the stars blinking, the crowd outside the intersection walked by batch after batch, and the crowd eating melons looked at this side curiously, and at most held on to a quarter of an hour before they dispersed boringly.

At night, the veil is draped, and cheerful voices can be heard from several lively markets. Mai waited, Sakura accompanied her, and had to leave after the strike, and the other party had to prepare for the departure of the mission.

Mao Yi gritted his teeth, and his posture didn't change much. It was late at night, and the sky was only a crooked moon, and dark clouds were flying.

After Mute came out and looked at it a few times, she realized such an extraordinary determination, and without saying anything like going back, she closed the door and left.

The difficulty was that in the dead of night, it rained.

The raindrops poured down from small to large, and the clothes of the real clothes were quickly wet, and the cold water vapor seeped into the skin, and she shivered, but she pursed her mouth, and her stubbornness was still the same.

The torrential rain was sudden, and Konoha Village, which had been making a lot of noise at night, was completely quiet, and the whole street was only left with the sound of dense rain, and the water droplets crackled on the ground, repeating the short dance of flowers blooming over and over again.

The door was always closed, and the rain never stopped, increasing and decreasing, falling on the fluttering shadows in front of the mansion, and the two lamps under the eaves shone a little dim, and the sound of the rain was like a note, and the girl was as quiet as the two squatting stone lions in the doorway.

***

Tsunade admits that she underestimated her disciple's determination.

On the night when the rain rustled, she didn't fall asleep, wondering if she was too arbitrary and doing something wrong.

There is no doubt that Tsunade likes this disciple with a good personality, good talent, and almost perfection, and at the same time, she also cares for it, like a hidden jade, waiting for the polishing to be completed before she can show it to others with peace of mind.

"Squeak-"

Tsunade opened the door, hoping to see the empty streets.

The fact is not, the rain that has weakened is tirelessly dripping, and the girl squats on the ground with her legs crossed, soaking wet and burying her head deeply. When the other party heard the movement, he shook his body and raised his head, and his hair was tightly pressed against his forehead.

I can't forget this moment when I looked at it, and Tsunade opened the oil-paper umbrella and walked up to the other party to block the rain.

In this way, the girl is grown up. Maybe she shouldn't just worry about herself, thinking that she made the right decision for the other party, but she despised the other party's decision.

In fact, what this kid said is right, she has the strength to take charge of herself, Tsunade knows that the belief in the other party's hand is not weaker than the seventh class opposite.

"I really thought that I was acting in a stage play, and I was waiting for a bad-hearted old woman in the future." Tsunade said, "Look less at the story, and besides, I'm not that old." ”

"Teacher ......"

"What about your brother?" Tsunade swept around, a little angry.

Ai Aidi, who blinked his eyes in confusion, still replied honestly, "I told him to go to practice and not ......come back."

"Yo, this has all been taken into account, and I really came to practice."

Tsunade took a breath and said, "Okay, let's take a hot shower and change our clothes in the room." ”

"After all, it's not good for you to set off on a mission if you have a cold."

The people who are high and low under the oil-paper umbrella constitute the picture of the night rain in front of the door.

"You mean ......"

"Come in." Tsunade waved in annoyance and turned back.

As for taking a little risk...... Ninja ninja, in order to protect important people, is not too small in the history of ninjas.

And as a part of the history of ninjas, she didn't come over like this before she became the three ninjas, so Tsunade can only support such a persistent disciple on behalf of the history of ninjas.
