in the operating room.

Tsunade grabbed Xiang Li's arm, stared at the tooth marks on the latter's arm, and questioned the disciple sternly.

She could see at a glance that the way Kari treated Sasuke was not a medical ninjutsu at all.

"Tsunade-sama, I'm actually...... With a special physique, as long as others bite me, they can absorb the Yang Dun Chakra in my body, thus healing the injury. ”

Xiang Lian was a little panicked and cautiously explained.

"Why haven't you ever told me about this before?" Tsunade asked, frowning.

"Before I came to Konoha, I was captured by the ninjas of a small ninja village because I accidentally exposed my abilities, and was reduced to their medical kits, and then I managed to escape...... Since then, I have been hiding my abilities from fear of being targeted again. ”

Xiang Li's eyes were dim, and he told a tragic past that could not be looked back.

When Shizune, Sasuke and the others heard this, they couldn't help but be moved.

Seeing the pitiful appearance of the disciple, Tsunade didn't have a seizure anymore, let go of Xiang Li's hand, and his tone softened a little:

"Xianglian, you shouldn't be a civilian. Tell me, what's your last name? ”

Out of intuition.

Tsunade has a hunch in his heart that there is some connection between Xiangren and Sasuke's attack, and Xianglin's true identity may be the key to answering this question.

Xiang Ryu may have some kind of hardship, so he doesn't want to answer, but Tsunade must know.

Because, only by knowing what trouble the disciple was in could she find a way to help the former solve it earlier, instead of waiting for the East Window incident to happen, maybe it would never be too late.

"I ......"

Xiang Ryu hesitated, not knowing whether to tell the truth or not.

When she first came to Konoha, she even deliberately dyed her conspicuous red hair black, and she was always careful to hide her identity.

It was at this time.

"Her last name is Uzumaki, Uzumaki incense."

A voice suddenly came from outside the operating room, followed by a clang, and the door was pushed open.

Kakashi and Itachi rushed in with five or six shadow ninjas and surrounded Kaori.

It's finally here.

Sasuke was relieved to see the reinforcements coming, and his mission was accomplished.

And Xiang Lian's face changed instantly, and his body trembled involuntarily.

Tsunade noticed the strangeness of his disciple, his heart suddenly sank, and he asked again: "Xianglin, are you really from the Uzumaki clan, why do you want to hide this kind of thing?" ”

She didn't understand.

In Tsunade's view, the fall of the Uzumaki clan, Konoha, the so-called ally, must definitely bear some responsibility.

It's Konoha who owes it to the Uzumaki clan.

"Tsunade-sama, here's the thing."

Kakashi stepped forward and handed Konan's paper crane to Tsunade and told the truth.

Originally.

The whirlpool incense in front of him turned out to be a spy member of the Xiao organization. The reason why she approached Tsunade was also to spy on Konoha through the latter.

As for why Xiang Lian refused to reveal her true identity, it was because her superior, the current leader of the Xiao Organization, was the demon fox imp in Konoha Village.

Naruto Uzumaki.

The two are of the same race.

Xiaonan's paper crane is the amulet of Xianglian.

It's over.

Xiang Lian knew that the general trend was gone, and he also knew that with his own strength, even if he fought for his life, he would not have any chance to escape from here.

But it must not fall into the hands of the Konoha shadows.

When the time comes, not to mention being tortured, Xiang Ryu is worried that he will leak the information of the organization and betray Naruto and Konan-sensei and others.

Come to think of it.

A pill slipped out of her sleeve, ready to kill herself.

As long as she swallows this pill down her throat at the right time, not only will she die violently on the spot, but even her brain tissue will be destroyed by the drug, leaving Konoha's intelligence department helpless.

However.

Just when Xiang Ryu was sweating profusely and decided to commit suicide by taking medicine.

"Kakashi, do you think it's appropriate to charge my disciple with such a big crime just by relying on an inexplicable paper crane, and he also led people into the operating room to arrest people?"

Tsunade said that, in front of everyone, he placed the crane on the flame of the alcohol lamp and watched it burn to ashes.

Then, she protected Kakaru behind her, and herself stood in front of Kakashi and Itachi.

This......

No one expected Tsunade to come out like this.

Kakashi's face changed, and then he persuaded:

"Tsunade-sama, please don't embarrass us.

If you are not at ease, you can go to the Intelligence Department with us and watch the interrogation of Xianglin throughout the whole process, and I guarantee that the interrogation process will be absolutely fair and impartial.

If she is really innocent, I, the head of the dark department, am willing to take all the responsibility. ”

Tsunade didn't eat this set, and immediately frowned, and said coldly:

"Are you threatening me, Kakashi. And you, Uchiha Itachi, it was Karen who saved your brother, but you took revenge to arrest her, don't you think you've gone too far? ”

As soon as the words fell.

Rumble.

A powerful air current, without warning, erupted from Tsunade's body and immediately swept through the entire operating room.

Click.

In an instant, a cobweb-like crack appeared in the ground beneath her feet, spreading along the floor and onto the wall.

The faces of all the shadows present, including Kakashi and Itachi, changed drastically for a while, and they involuntarily retreated.

Domineering exposed.

This is the power of Tsunade's momentum, and without using his hands, he can make his opponent tremble and not dare to step forward.

"Tsunade-sama......"

Xiang Rin looked at Tsunade's back blocking in front of him, and his eyes were already moist unconsciously.

Five years ago, she volunteered to leave the Akatsuki organization alone and came to Konoha to become a spy.

After a brief investigation, she set her sights on Tsunade.

Thereupon.

From the top grades of the ninja school, showing amazing medical ninja talent, to attracting the attention of Tsunade, and passing the latter assessment, he was accepted as a disciple.

Along the way, Xianglian's plans have been going very smoothly.

Maybe it's because she has a high talent in medical ninjutsu, maybe it's because her personality has a lot of appetite for Tsunade, or maybe it's because Tsunade is getting older and becoming lonely.

In short, Tsunade cares about the disciple of Xianglin, and invests a lot of time and energy in the latter, raising him like a daughter.

And the incense.

Since her mother's death, it was the first time in so many years that she felt mother's love from Tsunade.

However, for the sake of the organization, she had to use Tsunade to spy on Konoha information from the latter.

This made Xiang Li's heart very tormented for a while, under that seemingly optimistic and lively appearance, in fact, she lived in pain and self-loathing every day.

Therefore, death is not a relief for Xianglian.

At this time.

When she saw Tsunade standing up to protect her without hesitation, knowing that she was a spy, Kaori could no longer control herself, and tears of emotion welled up in her eyes.

Then, her voice rang out behind Tsunade.

"Tsunade-sama, they're right, I'm a spy for the Akatsuki organization. I've been lying to you all along, I'm sorry. ”

Karyo stepped forward, breaking the tense silence in the conference room, and then said to Kakashi and Itachi, "Two adults, Tsunade-sama has no idea about my identity from beginning to end, I hope you don't embarrass her." ”

Although Tsunade is determined to keep the incense.

But Xianglin didn't want to involve Tsunade because of herself, this is for her...... A woman who is also a teacher and a mother.

"Xianglian, you ......"

Tsunade grabbed his disciple's arm again and glared at the latter with an angry face, as if he was about to have a seizure in the next second, but in the end-

She slowly let go of her hand.

Xiang Lian himself admitted his identity as a spy, and even if he was Tsunade, he couldn't keep this disciple.

But.

Kakashi and Itachi didn't step forward to arrest them immediately, but after glancing at each other, they turned sideways and got out of the way.

Followed by.

An invisible and huge pressure poured out of the door like a tide, filling the entire operating room, making people feel like they were under a hundred meters of water.

Almost suffocating.

Before the person appeared, the aura came first.

Moreover, an existence that is even more powerful than Tsunade's momentum, there is only one person in the entire Konoha area.

The sixth generation of Hokage Uchiha is broken.

A tall and majestic figure slowly walked into the operating room, like a ghost descending.

Thump.

Xiang Lian fell to the ground on the spot, trembling all over, and his expression was full of horror.

In front of the break, she couldn't even stand firm.

Tsunade was also pale.

The sixth generation of Uchiha Broken, who is privately said by many to be the greatest Hokage of all time, is also the laziest Hokage.

He never cared about the big and small affairs in the village, and almost all of them were handed over to his subordinates.

But at this moment.

Even this guy was there in person, which is enough to show the seriousness of this matter.

Xiang Lian, it's dead.

However.

The next development of events once again surprised everyone.

The broken gaze swept through the operating room, and finally fell on Xiang Lian, and an inexplicable look appeared in his eyes.

After a suffocating moment of silence.

"The choice is yours, Uzumaki Incense."

Duan suddenly opened his mouth and said something inexplicable.

Select ...... What? Xiang Lian looked up at this man who was as majestic as a god and spoke tremblingly.

"It's up to you whether you go or stay."

The assertion was shocking, and he promised Xianglin, "If you promise to cut ties with the Akatsuki organization, stay, and continue to stay by Tsunade's side, nothing will happen." However, if you want to go, you can go, and no one will stop you. ”

When the words fell, the eyes of everyone present widened.

Ignoring the shocked crowd, he walked to the chair on the side and sat down, and crossed Erlang's legs:

"I'll give you a minute to think about it."

After saying that, he clasped his hands on his chest and began to close his eyes and recuperate.

And then.

Boom.

All eyes fell on Xiang Li, waiting for her to make a decision.

The conditions that Hokage-sama gave to Kaori were simply extremely lenient.

As long as she betrays the Akatsuki organization and takes refuge in Konoha, she will not be held accountable for the crimes she committed before.

On the contrary, if she wanted to leave, she could also leave with her whole body without any punishment.

Time keeps ticking.

Ten seconds, thirty seconds, fifty seconds.

This minute seems to be short, but it is incomparably long in Xianglian's heart.

It stands to reason that after hearing the broken promise, she shouldn't have any hesitation, and she can walk out of this room and leave Konoha on the spot.

After all.

At the beginning, it was Naruto and Konan-sensei who rescued Kaori from the demon cave in Kusanobu Village and gave her a new life.

She couldn't help but repay the favor.

But when I think of Tsunade-sama, I think of the other party's care and love for me over the years, and I think of her desperate to protect herself just now......

Xianglian's heart fell into a fierce struggle for a while.

Finally.

"It's time."

He said lightly and opened his eyes again.

Xiang Lian clenched his fists, and after a fierce battle between heaven and man in his heart, he finally looked at Tsunade and used all his courage to say:

"I'm sorry, Tsunade-sama."

Then.

Without waiting for Tsunade to respond, Kaori rushed to the window and jumped out.

"Burnt ......"

Tsunade muttered out the name of his disciple, apparently taking a big blow, and sat on the stool as if he had been drained of all his strength.

Quiescence.

In the operating room, it was deathly quiet, and no one spoke.

A moment later.

"Take Sasuke to the ward to recuperate."

Shizune spoke first, got Sasuke into the cart, and took him to the ward.

Kakashi and Itachi looked at each other, then bowed to the Broken and retired with the rest of the shadows.

In the operating room, only Tsunade and Broken were left.

And a long time passed.

"That kid has a personality that looks like mine. It turns out that she is a member of the Vortex Clan, so it's no wonder that she has a hot temper and goes straight to ......"

Tsunade spoke suddenly, remembering Kari, and finally sighed, "I've always treated her as my own daughter. ”

Broken glanced at Tsunade, and his face was puzzled:

"If you want a daughter so much, give birth to one yourself, and your own child will not betray her mother."

"Not necessarily. Didn't the ancestor of your Uchiha clan, the Six Paths Immortals, betray his mother and seal the other party into the moon? ”

Tsunade sneered, as if he had found the punching bag, and said sarcastically, "And your daughter Marisa, I heard that she is very rebellious, and she has been working against you as a father everywhere at a young age, and when she grows up, I am afraid that sooner or later she will betray you." ”

Hearing this, he shook his head:

"No, it's just a game between us father and daughter, it's a lot of fun. You won't understand, you'll know when you give birth to a daughter. ”

"With whom?"

Tsunade rolled his eyes and asked angrily.

Broken is very enthusiastic, and spreads his hands to Tsunade:

"Honestly, for the sake of our friendship over the years, I can help you. It can also be regarded as helping others for pleasure, and continuing the incense for the thousand-handed family......"

"Get out!"

Before he could finish speaking, Tsunade stood up and scolded angrily, interrupting his nonsense.

"Okay."

It was originally to distract Tsunade and make her feel better, but now that her goal has been achieved, she stands up and prepares to leave.

However, he had just walked to the door.

"Wait!"

Tsunade stopped and said a little dejectedly, "Are you free, accompany me for a drink or two." ”

Since quitting gambling.

When encountering this kind of unhappy thing, it seems that the only way left is to use wine to drown your sorrows.

After thinking about it, he spoke:

"I have a few bottles of good wine in my office, paid tribute by the wealthy merchants of the Land of the Wind, and I heard that they are fifty years old."

"Let's go."

Tsunade strode past the broken side, and was the first to walk out of the operating room.
