In Konoha's ninja hospital, Tsunade, who is the Hokage, walked out of Shikaku's intensive care unit with a tired face.

Shikaku's physical injuries have stabilized, but trauma from the inner level is not an area that Tsunade is good at.

But this is inevitable, after all, after experiencing the grief of losing a child and a close friend, even this man who has always been known for his sanity cannot be completely calm.

But even so, this former wise man of Konoha has not completely lost his mind.

In the end, he told Tsunade about the two members of the Akatsumi organization.

The immortal man called Hidan was buried alive by Shikahisa in a deep pit called Shikabayashi of the Nara clan, but the body of the Kakuto was brought back by the accompanying shadows and is now stored in the cold storage of this hospital.

According to the information revealed by Shikaku, the corpse of the member of the Akatsuki organization contained a lot of information, so in the end, Shikaku still suggested that Tsunade dissect the corpse that was brought back.

As for the immortal who leaked out of Lujiu's mouth, he has been buried alive, and now he is under the surveillance of the Nara clan, and he will not be given a chance to appear again.

Although Tsunade has different views on the issue of supervision, but when he thinks of the cause of Shikamaru's death, Tsunade who still wants to say something can only be silent, after all, as Tsunade who has experienced all this, he can still understand Shikaku's revenge as a father and best friend, so at this point, she chose to compromise.

However, in the face of the fact that the Akatsuki organization has lost three members, Tsunade is still not optimistic.

Because the losses are proportional, Konoha has not suffered a lot of losses for a while, the only remaining son of Mr. Sarufei died in battle, and the combination of pigs, deer and butterflies has also been unable to form a perfect combination in a short period of time due to the sacrifice of Shikamaru and Dingza.

In connection with the current complicated situation, Konoha can't come up with a few ninjas who can take charge on their own, except for Kakashi.

Maybe there was Akai before, the nervous but unusually reliable man.

But as early as two years ago, because of the relationship with his disciple, the proud Konoha beast had already given up his identity as a ninja because of his body.

At the thought of this, Tsunade couldn't help but frown.

Because at this time, as the fifth generation of Konoha Hokage, she has to face a problem, that is, the current Konoha is seriously lacking ninjas who can take charge of themselves.

Once upon a time, Konoha, who was known as the strongest in the ninja world, would also feel nervous because of the relationship between talents.

You must know that in Tsunade's era, not only was there not only Hachiki Shuo Shige named Konoha White Fang, but also Sannin, who was the mainstay of Konoha in the back, and later there was even a golden flash that could completely block their light.

Even after the sacrifice of the fourth generation because of the sealing of the Nine Tails, many good seedlings appeared in Konoha one after another.

But now, with those ninjas who have grown up to be able to take charge of themselves die in battle or quit the ninja ranks because of other willingness, Tsunade realizes that at some point, as the Hokage, she has reached the point where no one is available.

And at this moment, it will take some time for the newcomers led by Naruto to fully grow up, so at this time, Tsunade can't help but feel a sense of crisis.

Walking through the streets of Konoha, Tsunade absentmindedly returned to the Hokage's office.

Tsunade was at a loss as to the predicament the village was currently in.

At this time, she just wanted to talk to her former companion, the man who was also one of the three ninjas.

But then, as she approached the door of her office, Naruto's impatient voice from inside came out.

Behind Naruto's somewhat noisy voice, Tsunade could still hear the voice of his own comforting voice.

Here's the trouble!

Tsunade shook her head helplessly, as the Hokage, she naturally understood Naruto's intention, it was nothing more than the recent disappearance of Sasuke and Sunagare.

There was a helpless sigh in his mouth, but Tsunade pushed open the door to the office.

……

Compared with Tsunade's headache, Ning Ci, who is in the newly established Craftsman Ninja Village, also encounters things that must be faced.

That's the issue of human pillar power, and due to the recent downsizing of the Order's members, Payne has been urging more than once about the recovery of the Tailed Beast.

However, the information about the tailed beast is not so easy to obtain, even if Ning Ci has the memory of his previous life, he can't go straight to the ninja village with the tailed beast, after all, no matter which village it is, the tailed beast is an important strategic weapon for them.

Such a reckless move would not only have no effect, but would make them step up their efforts to protect the human pillar force, so Ning Ci had not acted rashly.

But with the dark activities sent out, the information about the tailed beast finally reached Ning Ci's hands.

Another person in Iwakuin Village, known as the 'Steam Ninja', Han, the one with the five tails, has recently been discovered by the shadows who were sent out.

So at this time, it was time for Ning Ci to set off.

In the country of wind at sunset, as the afterglow of the sun fell on the golden gravel, Ning Ci, who was dressed in a red floating cloud robe, pressed the hat above his head with his left hand obliquely, accompanied by a pleasant wind chime, he had already taken the beginning of the steps.

According to the information transmitted by the dark department not long ago, the five-tailed human pillar force named Han is a withdrawn guy, although his strength is good, but as a human pillar force, he is still faintly rejected by the villagers and his companions.

Like the old purple who was brought back by the ghost shark, as human pillar power, they can't escape a problem, that is, he has extreme power, and he is no longer regarded as a companion by his former kind, and that kind of gaze, whether it is hostile or fearful, has made the two of them deeply understand a fact.

That is, their existence is no longer accepted by the village they once were.

So whether it is Lao Zi or him, they are all wandering alone in the wild, but this also creates a very good opportunity for Ning Ci, at least he no longer has to face the power of human pillars, and at the same time, he has to deal with those annoying flies.

In this way, Ning Ci rushed towards the location in the intelligence.

And at this moment, in the Hokage's office in Konoha, Tsunade, who is the fifth Hokage, is arguing loudly with Naruto on the side.

"Naruto, I'm not going to approve this request of yours!"

Tsunade cupped his forehead and glanced at Naruto, who was still stubborn, and said it in a tough manner.

"Why, Tsunade-in-law, Sasuke has already dealt with Orochimaru, so what's wrong with us going to him?"

Having held back most of the impatience in his heart, Naruto looked at Tsunade who had turned his back with a puzzled expression.

"There's no why, Naruto, you should also be open, you can't be naïve like this forever."

Tsunade, who has been entangled by annoyances recently, really doesn't want to continue to entangle with Naruto on this issue, so Tsunade's expression has a hint of impatience at the moment.

"Sasuke has what he insists on, it's impossible to turn back so easily, and with the current state of the village, there is no way to get out of the redundant manpower!"

Saying this, Tsunade glanced at Naruto, who was still holding on, and told the true state of the village at the moment.

But with Naruto's temper, it's not so easy to give up.

With a moment of silence, Naruto suddenly raised his head, his pale blue eyes staring at Tsunade not far away, and the corners of his mouth opened up to say something more childish.

"If it's a personnel problem, it's enough for me to go alone!"

"Naruto!"

Jiraiya, who was on the side, watched the situation get closer and closer to being out of control, and slapped his left hand on Naruto's shoulder, who was already a little uncalm, trying to make him sober up.

Feeling the sudden multiplication of strength on his shoulders, Naruto gritted his teeth, and understood the willfulness of what he had said before.

No matter how unreliable it is, three years have made Naruto understand the special nature of his identity, so he also understands the naivety of what he said just now.

But he was inexplicably worried about Sasuke in his heart, and he still couldn't give up his decision to find Sasuke.

So in the midst of a violent struggle in his heart, Naruto suddenly turned around and left the Hokage's office.

When Tsunade and Jiraiya saw this scene, they both shook their heads secretly, but Jiraiya on the side was a little helpless and could only nod slightly to Tsunade, and then quickly followed, so as to prevent that hot-blooded fool from doing anything outrageous.

"Alas!"

Tsunade who was left in the office sighed faintly.
