"Tsunade's mother-in-law. Sasuke's defection, what's the news!? Could it be some kind of misunderstanding!? ”

Before the man arrived, Naruto's voice sounded first.

It's only been a little more than half a month since the defection of the face numb.

And now Sasuke has defected again!?

Naruto couldn't accept this kind of development at all.

"Naruto, calm down first, this is not 100% certain news, it is also possible that Sasuke has been taken captive."

To defect is to defect.

For other people, there is no other euphemism at all, but in the case of Mima, Sasuke, that is, there can be other results.

is still the same sentence, as long as the two are really willing to change their minds.

Tsunade is 100% confident that he can 'whitewash' the two of them.

Let the face Ma and Sasuke continue to wear the forehead guard of the Konoha Ninja and walk on the road of the Konoha Hidden Village openly.

This is also Tsunade's 'preference' for Naruto.

"Abducted? Is that so? Well, it must be like this, then we have to get Sasuke back immediately! Tsunade's mother-in-law! ”

Intellectually, Naruto actually understands it, but on the emotional level, Naruto can't accept it, it can also be said that this is Naruto's self-hypnosis, whether it's numb face, Sasuke, Naruto really regards the departure of the two as an 'involuntary choice'.

"Well, calling you here, that's for this, Naruto, now the manpower in the village is very tight, I can't arrange too many people to help you, I can only arrange one person, and the rest of the members, that is, you have to arrange it yourself, I must first say that the person who took Sasuke is Orochimaru's right-hand man, and his strength is very strong."

Tsunade crossed his hands on the table and said with a solemn expression.

"Well, I understand, you can rest assured, Tsunade mother-in-law, eh? A helper, who are you talking about? ”

Naruto nodded solemnly, then asked with a look of confusion as if he had just reacted.

"Oh, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here, come in."

At the moment when Tsunade was about to say the name of the person who helped.

Outside the door was the sound of footsteps.

and the crisp knock of "Peng Peng" that followed.

Tsunade shouted loudly.

The next second.

'Squeak', the door opened, and a familiar pigtail came into view.

"Oh!? Isn't this Shikamaru! ”

Naruto's eyes lit up and he shouted with a hint of surprise.

"Huh? It's Naruto, why are you here? ”

Shikamaru was also stunned the moment he saw Naruto.

"You're here just in time, Shikamaru, call you over because there's a task that needs to be handed over to you, Naruto is the same, the current lack of combat power in the village, this mission is currently handed over to the two of you to perform, the remaining helpers you can find by yourself, and then report it, the content of the mission, is to bring back the captured Uchiha Sasuke, there is the latest information collected by the reconnaissance team, Shikaku, Naruto, you can use it as a preliminary reference."

Tsunade said as he motioned for Shizune to deliver the information scroll he had received earlier to the two teenagers.

“！？”

Shikamaru suddenly heard the content of this task, and his eyes kicked out.

What the heck?

Sasuke was taken captive?

How does this sound like this, how do you feel very illusory?

Shikamaru subconsciously took the scroll, and when he scanned the contents inside, and saw the words of Otoshinobi and Orochimaru, Shikamaru's pupils also shrank suddenly.

If you are as smart as he is, you can naturally see the cattiness in this.

Abducted?

I'm afraid this is a big question mark.

However, Shikamaru will not say it to his face here, not mentioning that this is the tone set by his own five generations of Hokage-sama himself, just Naruto is on the side, Shikamaru will not talk much, and it will be regarded as being taken away.

"Well, I see, Hokage-sama, time is pressing, let's go, Naruto."

Although Shikamaru usually looks very lazy, in front of business, he will still enter the state immediately, which is also the practice of the Nara clan.

"Oh? Well!? ”

Naruto was about to say something at the moment.

Shikamaru saluted Tsunade and strode outside.

Sasuke and the others have been gone for most of the day, and if they don't chase after them quickly, it will definitely be too late.

They had to catch up with those in front of them in the shortest possible time.

Naruto and Shikamaru who left together.

It was also in the circle of the village at great speed, among the companions of the special operations team that they found, in terms of relationships, Ding Ci, Ya, and Shino were the first to think of it.

Then next, there are Xiao Li and Ning Ci who are willing to take the initiative to join in.

The former is completely warm-hearted by the ancient road, and the latter has a different attitude towards Sasuke purely because he was defeated by Sasuke.

Perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe it as obsession.

This is obviously a more luxurious configuration than in the original book.

But whether Sasuke can be successfully recovered in this life is still a big question mark.

And that is, just before the team is about to leave.

Sakura Haruno, who didn't know where to get the news, also appeared at the main gate of the village for the first time.

"Naruto-kun, I'm going to join the squad too!"

Sakura looked at Naruto with a look of determination and said.

Just like in the original book, Sakura in this life still has an almost obsessive attachment to Sasuke.

Sasuke's departure is completely unacceptable for the current Sakura Haruno, and she must join the team to personally save Sasuke.

That's right, it's to save, Sakura didn't believe that Sasuke was willing to leave Konoha on his own.

"Sakura-chan, I'll definitely bring Sasuke back, trust me, you can stay in the village."

Naruto said as he looked at Sakura with a look of determination.

"No, Naruto, I mean..."

Sakura's face was anxious, and she wanted to continue to say something.

"Sakura-chan, Sasuke left last night, and it's been a long time now, and we don't know where they're now, and we have to go full speed ahead to catch up, so..."

Naruto paused, but the rest of the words didn't come out.

But Sakura was able to get it right away.

After all, it is the gap in strength, and this gap is clearly in front of us.

Sakura's expression darkened instantly.

That thought had to be let go.

Sakura finally looked at Naruto with a look of pleading and said, "Naruto, please, please make sure you bring Sasuke back!" ”

"Well, I will, Sakura, it's my promise!"

Naruto gave a thumbs up to his right hand and said with a serious expression that he had never seen before.

And he even added a sentence in his heart, "Not only Sasuke, but also Miaoma, I have to bring them all back!" ’

It's just that Naruto didn't know that.

In this life, this promise of his will never be fulfilled.
