Of course, after a few strange chakras disappeared into Kagura's mind's perception, the shadow clone Naruto slowly got up.

"You're almost back to strength, aren't you?"

"That's pretty good." With a light breath, Shikamaru stiffened a carp and patted his buttocks, "Are you going back with us?" ”

"Nope." Naruto smiled slightly, turned into a cloud of white smoke and disappeared directly in place.

Shikamaru stumbled, his physical fitness was there, and in just two or three minutes, how much could he recover.

"Long time no see, Sasuke."

On the top of the stone statue between the Thousand Hands Pillars, Sasuke Uchiha looked at the faces that were both familiar and unfamiliar, and for some reason, he only felt a sense of peace of mind.

It's a strange feeling, obviously their acquaintance has been so short.

Is it because I am the same kind of person as him?

Sasuke thought to himself.

"Why are you here?"

“…… Come and see you. After a moment of careful perceiving, Naruto said.

Wrong.

Ever since he met Sasuke, the inexplicable uneasiness in his heart has vanished in an instant.

It's like it never happened.

But he was sure that he did have worries about Sasuke in his heart before he met Sasuke, especially when he learned that he was in danger.

The two extreme psychological changes made him reaffirm that there must be something in him that neither he, nor even the Nine Lamas, could detect affecting his mood.

Possessed by ghosts? One body and two souls? Or did you fall for the illusion......

Naruto's mind instantly crossed countless speculations that unlike most people who were skeptical of the existence of ghosts, he had seen real ghosts.

Rin in Shuisheng Village, and the Yin spirit that appeared when the Yin and Yang of the reed name alternated, were all ghosts that he had seen with his own eyes.

"Really?" Sasuke was puzzled, what kind of reason was this.

The friendship between the two of them doesn't seem to be that good, does it?

Thinking of this, Sasuke couldn't help but feel wary, and the chakra in his body began to circulate.

Naruto glanced at him, and the changes in the chakra in his body were clearly visible in Kagura's perception.

Maybe before they met, he did have the idea of fighting Sasuke and trying to force something out of his body.

But after seeing Sasuke, for some reason, he had an inexplicable intuition - even if he buried Sasuke here now, that 'thing' would not interfere.

Naruto naturally wouldn't do anything without gain.

So he gave up the idea of trying the knife with Sasuke.

"See you soon!" With that, Naruto jumped off the top of the Uchiha Spotted Statue.

"By the way, watch out for the mark on your neck, it's eating away at your chakra......"

His voice grew quieter and quieter, and at the end it was even drowned out by the rumbling sound of the waterfall.

Sasuke looked at his vanished figure with black lines on his head.

What is this?

Is this guy really just here to see him?

Really?

Their friendship is already so deep?

How did he not know?

Kicking his mind full of doubts, Sasuke jumped over the Valley of the End and continued in the direction of Tanokuni.

As for the erosion of the Curse of Heaven.

As far as he is concerned, as long as he can gain great strength, he can defeat that man, the brother who slaughtered his own relatives.

Even if you give your body directly to Orochimaru, why not?

……

Konoha.

Hokage Building.

"You mean, you were saved by Naruto Uzumaki?" Tsunade asked with his hands crossed against his smooth chin and asked suspiciously.

"Yes." Shikamaru, who had just finished bandaging the wound in the hospital and rushed directly to report the situation, nodded.

Tsunade sat back in the chair behind him, his right hand kneading his eyebrows helplessly.

What is this?

A huge Konoha chased back a traitor, and it took the rescue of another traitor to save the lives of the chasing team......

Why didn't those old immortals lie in the coffin?

Tsunade thought viciously.

In order to prevent her from using the Hokage's powers indiscriminately, they must perform their duties as advisors, share the pressure of the Hokage, and temporarily help her manage some of the shadows.

If all the shadows are in her hands, let alone chasing a lower ninja, even if it is chasing an upper ninja, it will be easy.

Grandma's.

If it weren't for the fact that those old immortal factions were deeply rooted in Konoha, she would have sent those old immortals to retire with Jiraiya a long time ago.

Every time I think of this, Tsunade feels a burst of fire.

Born with a golden key, when did she suffer from this kind of wretchedness.

Especially the roots, the scale of a few hundred people, nominally belong to the dark department, under the control of her, the Hokage.

But what is the truth.

I'm afraid she can't even command the logistics of the roots.

Under the constraints of the Tongue Curse Eradication Technique, the root is directly a small Konoha and is still a small Konoha that Shimura Danzo said.

There's no denying it.

The roots during the Third Ninja World War, they did shoulder the responsibility of taking on the darkness of Konoha.

But now the roots already have a kind of tail that can't be lost.

Whether it is Shimura Danzo, or the two advisors Koharu and Mito Menyan, they have invested too much effort in it.

Even as the fifth-generation Hokage, she is powerless to abolish the roots.

There are so many interests at stake.

The ass decides the head, if she is still the former Tsunade, for the 'scourge' of the root, her solution is very simple, just flip the table and reshuffle.

It doesn't matter if he's Shimura Danzou or who.

But helplessly, she is now the fifth Hokage of Konoha, and her words and deeds represent not only herself, but also the vast majority of Konoha interest groups.

Ironically, the 'scourge' of the roots, which represents the interests of the vast majority of people, needs to be defended in a sense.

"That, the fifth generation ......" Tsunade sighed and sighed, Shikamaru was almost not frightened, and quickly recalled that he had said something wrong.

If you offend this woman, you will offend your job for the rest of your life.

Women can be offended, and the job bowl can be held.

"Oh, it's okay, you can go back first." Tsunade also reacted, there were other people in the office.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but after only a month in this position, she already feels like she has aged several years.

She is now reflecting on whether she promised Jiraiya too hastily.

didn't even let him serve as his head of the dark department......

Although that guy is a little old bastard, his ability is unquestionable.

Do you want to get him back together?

Tsunade pondered inwardly.

"Five generations, Ding Ji's injury?" Shikamaru asked cautiously.

The Nara clan and the Akido clan have been friends for generations, and each other's hole card methods are all known to the roots.

Therefore, compared to other companions, he knows better how urgent Ding Ci's current situation is.

"Don't worry, I've let Silent take care of it." Tsunade said with relief.

The secret medicine of the Autumn Dao clan is not so much a secret medicine as a special poison, and the specially refined poison can most effectively force out the physical potential of the Qiu Dao clan.

According to the different doses, the Akido family divides them into three types: green, yellow, and red.

The green elixir is the least toxic and can basically recover on its own; The red color is the heaviest, and it is basically eaten, and if there is no interference from foreign objects, the eater can find a coffin board and lie down.

This poison may be terrifying to others.

But for a doctor of Tsunade's level, that's the case.

In particular, the Akido clan also provides prescriptions for secret medicines, which can be easily solved as long as a treatment plan is made according to the toxicity of the drug.

Compared to the poison of Sagakure Chiyo, the secret medicine that was not refined for killing people in the first place is not so difficult to solve.

"I'm in trouble." Shikamaru breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and bowed and retired.
