Chapter Eighty-Four: Deliberation
"So, I'm very hopeful that Naruto is the Child of Prophecy right now, not that Payne."
Fukasaku Immortal sighed, but he didn't have much confidence in his heart.
"I don't know what the Child of Prophecy is, but I don't think Naruto is worse than others." Shikamaru said seriously when he saw this.
Although Shikamaru didn't understand the meaning of the Prophecy Child at this time, he did see Naruto save the hearts of many people when he was growing up.
From Hinata at the beginning, to Airo not long ago, and Sasuke and Sakura, who are still wandering outside, Shikamaru has witnessed it with his own eyes.
Therefore, Shikamaru believes that Naruto, even though his strength may not be as good as that Payne, but spiritually he will never lose to him.
"Anyway, Naruto's current strength is still too weak compared to Payne, so I came to Konoha." Fukasaku Immortal shook his head, then looked at Tsunade seriously, and said:
"We've decided to teach Penn the art of immortals before he makes a move on Naruto!"
Tsunade was slightly stunned, then frowned and thought for a while, gritted his teeth, and said, "Okay, I agree to let Naruto go to Myoki Mountain!" ”
Again, Naruto is a nine-tailed pillar force, and he can't go out of the village alone. In addition, now that Jiraiya is "dead", the Konoha high-level will not let him out.
But it was Jiraiya's "death" that Tsunade had to agree to Naruto's going to Myoki Mountain to practice.
To put it mildly, Konoha doesn't have anyone who can beat Payne right now. If Naruto doesn't practice the immortal mode, then his situation will be very dangerous, Konoha can't protect him, he can only become stronger and protect himself.
"Well, when Naruto is ready, let him come to Myoki Mountain to find us, as soon as possible, we don't know when Payne will come." Fukasaku Immortal nodded and said seriously.
"Then, if nothing else, I'll go back first."
After speaking, Fukasaku Immortal slammed into smoke and returned to Myoki Mountain.
"Tsunade-sama, then I'll quit first, I'll go see Naruto." Kakashi wanted to turn his head and go out as he spoke, and Shikamaru was about to follow suit, but before he could speak, he was stopped by Tsunade.
"Wait a minute, you're not done yet."
Kakashi looked back suspiciously, Shikamaru secretly screamed in his heart, and remained silent on the surface.
"Kakashi, please seal the door with a dirt escape, and by the way, engrave a ban on entry." Tsunade said, looking at Kakashi.
The door to the office had been blasted by Naruto before, but now it was empty, and the dog's head on the wall of Kakashi's earth-flow was lifelike, and it wouldn't be a problem to carve a few words.
Kakashi was puzzled, but he also realized that what Tsunade was going to say next was not simple, so he did as he was told, and added a small perceptual ninjutsu to the earth flow wall.
Tsunade stood up, closed the curtains behind him, took out two scrolls from his arms and handed them to the two, and said, "Take a look, compare them." ”
These two scrolls are record scrolls, one was given by Sakura Haruno, and the other was spit out by the frog before, and they were both information about Payne.
Kakashi and Shikamaru glanced at each other, and one of them took a scroll and looked at it.
Kakashi took a detailed version given by Sakura Haruno, which recorded Nagato's various abilities, from the Heavenly Way to the Outer Way.
And at the end, it is deliberately marked with ultra. The technique of the Shinra Celestial Expedition, the description of the technique, uses Konoha as a unit of measurement.
Well, 1 Konoha = 1 super. HRE Celestial Sign.
Kakashi frowned more and more as he looked at it, shocked by what was recorded on the scroll, but also doubtful about the scroll's provenance.
Next to him, Shikamaru's expression was similar to his, and his brows were furrowed.
Although Shikamaru's scroll has less information, it has a full record of Jiraiya's battle with Rokudo Payne, and it has been analyzed by Fukasaku Immortal and Shima Immortal, which can make people understand Payne's horror more intuitively.
After the two looked at it, they exchanged glances, silenced each other, and exchanged the scrolls in their hands.
Subsequently, the expressions of the two became more complicated.
Tsunade was not in a hurry, and quietly waited for them to read it.
After a long time, Shikamaru let out a long sigh, and he vaguely guessed why Tsunade had called him.
This thing in his hand needs to be analyzed, but if you guess it right, you can't see it.
Originally, this kind of task was done by his father, but it happened to be a mission......
Kakashi also finished reading the other scroll, glanced at Shikamaru, put the scroll away, and put it back.
Tsunade glanced at the scroll and said, "Shikamaru will report the situation." ”
Tsunade specially called Shikamaru and Kakashi for this moment.
"In general, these two pieces of information are not the work of one person. The first, the detailed one, the one who wrote it, obviously knew everything about Payne, and all his abilities were written clearly, but it was precisely because it was so detailed that it made people suspicious. ”
Shikamaru touched his chin and thought about it.
"The second part is from the perspective of the two immortals, showing some of Payne's abilities, which was collected by Jiraiya-sama in the battle step by step, which is very real."
"But the problem is that the overlap between the first and second parts is roughly the same, that is, at least in the field of the second part, the first piece of information is credible."
After Shikamaru finished speaking, he looked up at Tsunade and asked, "Tsunade-sama, is the source of this second piece of information reliable?" ”
"How can I say it......" Tsunade was a little entangled, although Sakura Haruno had already known about Sakura's matter, but this information was too detailed, and she didn't think it was very reliable.
"The way this information is written, it's Sakura." Kakashi said calmly from the side.
Sakura Haruno gave them the information about Deidara last time, which was listed one by one, clearly and unambiguously, and there was no collection process written like a normal ninja, only the results.
Shikamaru was stunned, closed his eyes and recalled what he had just now, and then compared it with the information he had seen in Sha Yin before, and sure enough, it ......
Tsunade glanced at Kakashi and nodded, just in time for her to say more, so he asked again:
"What do you think?"
Shikamaru frowned and said:
"If it's Sakura, this information must be taken seriously, and I think it's better to believe it than not to believe it."
Although Shikamaru did not participate in the battle against Scorpion and Deidara last time, judging from the description of the combatants afterwards, that information was very useful.
"I think so too, even though Sakura is...... Rebel, but I don't think Sakura will fool us with this method. Kakashi said after a pause.
Shikamaru glanced at Kakashi, then lowered his head slightly, as if he hadn't heard.
"Alright, Kakashi, Shikamaru, I'll give you an S-class top-secret mission." Tsunade said without changing his face.
"Please." Kakashi replied.
Tsunade pushed the two scrolls towards Kakashi, and said with a serious face: "With Kakashi as the main and Shikamaru as the auxiliary, formulate a tactical strategy to deal with Nagato, focusing on the defensive counterattack after the opponent's attack on Konoha!" ”
Kakashi and Shikamaru were slightly stunned, what Tsunade's last sentence meant......
Tsunade nodded helplessly and said, "She said that Payne would attack Konoha in the near future. ”
It's just on another scroll, and Tsunade didn't take it out because it involved Danzo.
"So Kakashi, you still have a mission, to appease Naruto as soon as possible and let him go to Myoki Mountain to practice and not stay in the village."
"I see." Kakashi nodded and took the scroll from the table.
"Shikamaru will go back first, Kakashi will stay." Tsunade waved his hand and let Shikamaru go first.
Shikamaru nodded, sighing slightly in his heart, roughly guessing what Tsunade was going to say, he sighed because, he also wanted to hear it......
Kakashi unraveled the Dorobi and waited for Shikamaru to go out, and was about to seal it again, but was stopped by Tsunade waving his hand.
"No, the next words are not classified."
Kakashi nodded, turning back to face Tsunade.
"Kakashi, do you have a grudge because of what happened three years ago?"
Tsunade asked, but it was clearly affirmative.
Kakashi was silent for a moment before saying, "That was Hokage-sama's decision. Nature is right. ”
"Stop talking that nonsense." Tsunade waved his hand and said, "I admit that three years ago, it was me who did wrong, and I apologize to you." ”
Kakashi didn't speak, silent, and his thoughts went back to three years ago.
Three years ago, after the middle shinobi exam, Konoha suffered a heavy blow, Konoha entered a critical state, almost all of the middle shinobi ran out to do tasks, and there was only a bunch of shinobi left in the village, and then Tsunade took over the mess.
And at this time, Sasuke and Sakura Haruno defected at the same time while taking advantage of the emptiness of Konoha. Tsunade had no choice but to send a team led by Shikamaru to chase Sasuke, who was of Uchiha blood, and Sakura Haruno could only let it go for the time being.
Later, Shikamaru's pursuit team returned with serious injuries, and Sasuke did not chase back.
At that time, the top management of Konoha decided to position Sakura Haruno and Sasuke as traitors, but Naruto strongly objected.
Naruto's opinion was useless, but Tsunade, who had an excellent relationship with Naruto, was different.
At that time, Tsunade directly made a decision, leaving Uchiha Sasuke in the village, and Sakura Haruno...... Condemned as treason.
Naruto was very dissatisfied with this and went directly to Tsunade to make a fuss, but it was Kakashi who persuaded him to do his best, saying that Sakura Tsunade had done his best.
But...... This can only deceive Naruto's naivety.
Whether it's Kakashi or Shikamaru, who has a good relationship with Sakura Haruno, they all know that Tsunade is not impossible, but unwilling.
She left Sasuke's village registration just because Sasuke's surname is Uchiha, the only Uchiha in Konoha, it's as simple as that.
And Sakura Haruno has only one side to Tsunade, although he is a genius, but after all, he violated the rules of Konoha.
Kakashi knew in his heart that he had also approached Tsunade in private, but he couldn't convince her after all.
"Tsunade-sama did the right thing, Sakura-chan did betray the village."
Kakashi shook his head, three years had passed, and it was too late to say anything.
Moreover, Sakura Haruno's mistake was clear to him three years ago, and he never thought Sakura and Sasuke's defection was correct.
But Sakura Haruno is his disciple after all, and in his heart he is the same as Sasuke, there is no difference. Tsunade's way of dealing with the difference, he can accept it intellectually, but he doesn't like it emotionally.
"After that, I will secretly restore her village registration, but she has a special status now, and on the surface she is still a traitor." Tsunade said calmly.
She didn't care what Kakashi thought, since she opened her mouth to admit her mistakes, that is, she really felt that she had done something wrong, and she had to correct what she had done, and Kakashi's thoughts didn't matter at this time
Kakashi was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Tsunade's words.
You know, Haruno Sakura has done a lot of bad things outside in the past few years, and Blood Sakura's reputation has spread all over the world, and Tsunade dares to accept her?
"Thank you, Tsunade-sama." Kakashi said solemnly.
"Remember to keep it a secret."
