Sasuke was in the middle of one of the major turning points in his life, and his best friend Naruto had just been called to Tsunade's office with his teammates and teacher.

What he did was naturally a request for help from Sand Shinobi.

"This mission is very important, just now the news came from the Sand Ninja side, they were invaded by the enemy, and the new Wind Shadow Force was defeated in the battle and was taken away, so now the Sand Ninja side can not have much combat power to dispatch, so they asked our Konoha for help." Tsunade's face was calm, and he didn't seem to be shocked or otherwise emotioned by the news.

But someone was shocked.

Naruto, for example.

"What? Who would dare to do such a thing? Even the shadow of the sand ninja dares to be taken away! I'm not going to spare this guy! Kakashi-sensei! Sakura! Let's go! ”

"Bang!"

Tsunade rubbed his white fist, which had not left a trace, and scolded Naruto, who was lying on the ground holding his head and shouting in pain, in an unkind tone: "Be quiet for me!" Naruto! ”

After rectifying Naruto, Tsunade's gaze swept over the few people in front of him in turn.

Kakashi, Sakura, and Sakai.

Not long ago, Sakai had become Naruto's teammate as a complement to the combat power of the seventh squad. Including the past events such as the rampage of the four tails in the face of Orochimaru, etc., have also passed, and now Sakai is a stable member of this team anyway.

Although this is only on the surface.

After all, Sakai's origin is a little, or there is really no way to reassure. Both Tsunade and Kakashi are well aware of this, Sakura is aware of it, but she doesn't really care, she cares more about Sasuke, who she hasn't seen for years. As for Naruto's words, if he could find this kind of problem, I'm afraid he would have already been promoted to a middle ninja, instead of still being the lowest combat power in the ninja world, a lower ninja.

That's right, his strength has already been at the upper ninja level, but he's a lower ninja, and every time he applies for the middle ninja exam, no one is willing to recommend him or he is rejected by Tsunade, even if there is a stalker who pulls Kakashi and Tsunade agree to the exam, and as a result, he is brushed down.

The reason, you can imagine.

Sai, Tsunade, and Kakashi from the root don't have much trust. What is the true purpose of this root member who was suddenly inserted by Tuan Zang, they are also very clear.

It's nothing more than spying on Naruto, for Naruto, the nine-tailed pillar force.

For so many years since the death of the fourth generation, Tuan Zang has not paid less attention to the nine-tails. At the first Konoha high-level meeting just after that disaster, Danzo blatantly proposed to hand over Naruto to him to raise, and then was forcibly suppressed by the three generations at that time.

After that, there were a lot of small movements in the group, and it wasn't until Naruto started to study at the ninja school that it was a little less.

This only meant that he had given up on cultivating Naruto as his loyal subordinate, rather than completely giving up on the idea of taking the Nine-Tails for himself.

……

At this time, Naruto suddenly shouted, and his voice was so loud that it wanted to lift the zenith of the Hokage's office: "Wait! Didn't the wind shadow on the side of the sand ninja be killed by Orochimaru at the time of the third generation of old men? Why did another wind shadow pop up? Who's that? ”

The corners of Tsunade's mouth twitched a few times.

Sakura still felt pity for Naruto, and quickly pulled him aside and said, "Naruto, why don't you be quiet, now the Kazekage of the Sand Shinobi was appointed recently, and it's my Airo!" You don't even know this, but you're still talking about being the Hokage! ”

"What! Is that guy who loves Luo already a wind shadow? Naruto didn't continue shouting at this time, "I don't even know!" ”

After saying this, Naruto didn't feel frustrated or disappointed because I had become the Kazekage and was far ahead of his goal of becoming the Hokage, but his emotions immediately began to rise again.

"Hahahaha, I'm already a wind shadow, and I can't lag too far behind! Tsunade old lady hurry up and give me another middle ninja exam, I will definitely succeed this time! ”

Sakura couldn't help but cover her eyes, and cursed in her heart:

What an idiot.

Naruto's mistake was that he was excited, and he made a mistake in addressing Tsunade.

This time he lay down, and he didn't get up again.

A ninja like Tsunade, and a senior or strongest medical ninja, knows very well how to hit people without causing harm, and the pain will be unbearable, and he can't stand up.

This grasp of proportion, since meeting Naruto, there have been too many opportunities to try, and now he has reached the pinnacle.

……

"The Wind Shadow has been taken captive, and the enemy's strength looks strong?" Kakashi also ignored Naruto, who was rolling around with his head full of bags, and asked directly.

"That's right, the enemy we have to face this time is not an ordinary thing." Tsunade returned to his desk and picked up the materials and looked at them and said, "There are three enemies, and the one who defeated Kazekage head-on and captured him is Deidara who appeared in the Yunnin invasion event. ”

"Deidara? Is that so? Kakashi muttered for a while, "What about the other two?" ”

"The Four Palaces Rain Hide and the Red Sand Scorpion!"

"Is it Yuzo?" Naruto immediately got up from the ground and asked in disbelief, "How could Yuzo do such a thing?"

"The information shows that it was Deidara and another person who did it, at least in the information we got, Shinomiya Yuzo did not do it directly, but there is nothing wrong with him being a companion with Deidara and the Red Sand Scorpion now." Tsunade had returned to his seat, reaching out to tease Piggy, who looked more like his pet than with a silent pet.

Naruto was silent, and at this time, what was in his mind was Ino.

In the past three years, at the beginning, Naruto often met with the three members of Ino and his team because of the problem of Yuzo, just like Sakura asked or even begged Naruto to help her find Sasuke, Naruto could also sense that Ino had such thoughts.

After all, he's not really stupid, he's just slow sometimes.

It's just that I don't know why.,Gradually, Ino seems to start talking about it anymore.,It seems to have given up.。 But his instincts told Naruto that it was impossible.

So he felt a little confused, but he couldn't go directly to Ino to ask why.

Seeing that Naruto was uncharacteristically quiet, Tsunade continued: "These three people are extremely dangerous characters, and it just so happens that although there are no spare manpower in the village to cooperate with you in this mission, there is still a team in the Land of the Wind that is carrying out another mission, so you have to join them first and then go on this mission together." I believe that with the pursuit force of the sand ninja, coupled with your strength, at least you will not be defeated by the other party! ”

"Who's that squad?"

"Class 10!"

……

At this time, in the tenth squad that had just finished the mission and was about to return to Konoha, Asma made a stop gesture.

The two of them stopped, only Ding Ji didn't seem to see clearly because he was so hungry, and shouted "I'm so hungry!" I'm dying! My chips, my..."

Then fell on the sand.

The reason for this is that Ino confiscated his snack reserves.

During the mission, although Ding Ci secretly cursed words such as tigress in his heart, he still obediently handed over his inventory.

Today's tenth class, Ino seems to have become the usual leader.

Asma didn't care about this, and took out a scroll from his ninja bag and stuck it on his forehead, and through this scroll, he realized spiritual communication with Kaichi Yamanaka who was in Konoha.

It was only after a while that he put down the scroll.
