"Alas~"

In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi was standing by the window, the tobacco in his pipe had long been burned, and he looked into the distance at the scrolls that were piled up on the car and slowly pushed.

In each scroll, the body of at least one Konoha ninja is sealed, and since Zi Yuyi led the eight thousand cloud ninjas to invade the land of fire, Konoha has sent many ninjas to intercept it.

With his familiarity with the terrain, he has achieved good results, and he has not let Yun Shinobi wreak havoc in the territory of the Fire Country, but there are not a few Konoha ninjas who have died for this.

And the impact is far more than that, these ninjas who intercepted Yun Shinobi should have supported the team led by Uchiha and Sannin, and due to the temporary transfer, these two battlefields were also defeated one after another.

The team led by the three ninjas withdrew from the country of grass, and even gave up part of the territory of the country of fire, just for better defense.

The Uchiha side is a little better, and it is still at the border between the country of fire and the country of Sichuan, and the sand ninja is constantly pulling, after all, now the sand ninja group has no leader, whether it is Raksha, Karura or Hakura, they can't completely convince the public, and the pace of the counterattack is very messy.

"Hokage-sama, Danzo-sama has returned, already waiting in the conference room, asking for a short meeting."

A dark report, Ape Fei Ri nodded, he already knew the news of Tuan Zang's return, but he didn't expect Tuan Zang to directly ask for a meeting, did he find something?

"Inform Lu Yuan and go over together."

Ape Fei Ri Chop waved his hand, the dark part retreated, and Ape Fei Ri Chop also grabbed the direction of the pipe, grabbed the pocket on the side, put it on his head, and walked towards the conference room.

When he came to the conference room and pushed open the door, Ape Fei Ri Slash did not immediately step in, but also showed a look of surprise, looking at his old friend whose forehead, right eye, and right hand were all bandaged, he asked in surprise:

"How are you?"

"It's fine, it's just some minor injuries."

Tuan Zang didn't seem to care, Sarufei Ri shook his beard, but still walked in and sat opposite Tuan Zang, which was a small conference room, sitting around the table.

Both of them had very heavy faces, and they didn't communicate while the others hadn't come yet, and the others came quickly.

Mito Menyan, Nara Luyuan, and Yamanaka Otsukashi all worked in the Hokage Building, and transferred to Konoha Hospital temporarily, and the patriarch of the Akido and Akido clans, together with Hagi Sakushige, was out fighting against the cloud shinobi and would not attend the meeting.

Tuan Zang didn't continue to wait, and when Yamanaka Ying Zhong came in, he motioned to Sarufei Ri to take a look, and Sape Fei Ri Chop also asked in time: "What did you investigate during this time?" ”

Tuan Zang stretched out his left hand, reached behind his waist, several documents were taken out by him, and with a flick of his hand, they fell in front of everyone, and the ape Fei Ri opened the information, but did not look at it, but waited for Tuan Zang to tell.

And Tuan Zang didn't really wait for the others to finish reading, but when they opened it, he said: "In the past three months, I have mainly done two things, one is to investigate the sudden increase in the rebellion of the gold exchange in the Fire Country.

This matter has been ascertained, and it was financed and hired by Yanyin Village, and I also have some substantial evidence, whether it is pulling out the exchange place in the country, or condemning Yanyin Village, it can come in handy.

I haven't investigated the second thing yet, but it may also be inseparable from Iwain Village, in the country of grass and rain, there are one or more unspecified forces acting.

At present, I have only investigated two points, one is that they have a very strong sense of perception, and maybe not a single member has it, but a lot, even the old man, has not really caught them.

The second point is that there are extremely strong ninjas among them, and their methods are extremely strange, and I am still investigating.

This time back I also asked. In the name of the village, enter the Land of Rain and negotiate with Hanzo to investigate, the country of grass is currently completely controlled by Iwakuin Village, and it is difficult for me to infiltrate it. ”

Mito Menyan flipped through the information and asked curiously, "I can understand the gold exchange, but do the unknown forces of the country of grass and the country of rain have a great influence on us Konoha?" ”

"I have reason to believe that the riot of the Nine-Tails Pillar Force at the beginning, as well as an incident that you did not participate in not long ago, have their shadows, and my evaluation of them is extremely dangerous."

After Tuan Zang finished speaking, Sarutobi also nodded, and when Mito Menyan saw this, he muttered a few times in his heart and didn't take him to play, and then stopped asking.

Sarutobi looked at Tuanzang and said, "Yes, the old man has decided to temporarily restore the authority of the head of Shimura Tuanzang's roots, and if necessary, he can negotiate with other ninja organizations in the name of Konoha." ”

"I'm done talking about this side of the matter, now I want to ask the village. What did you all do?! How long has Tatsuma Sakamoto been missing?! Why hasn't the village come to the aid yet?! ”

Danzang said, suddenly angry, his left hand kept patting the table, and the ape Fei Ri's face sank, but it wasn't angry, it was more like. Guilty.

Yamanaka Ying Zhong took a deep breath and said, "The last time Chenma and the team he led sent back the news was twenty-one days ago, and they only said that they didn't need support, and they have continued to lose contact since then.

However, based on the ninja actions in the country of thunder, we can still judge that Tatsuma and the team he led are not at the end of the road. ”

"Fart! That's why you don't support it?! ”

Tuan Zang was about to slap the table again, but Sarutobi was faster than him this time, slammed his palm on the table, and said, "Tuan Zang!" Pay attention to your attitude! Do you think the village doesn't want to support?!

Do you think you're the only one in the village who values Tatsuma?! Don't forget, in addition to Chenma, the old man's sons, Lu Yuan, Ying Zhong and their children, are also still unknown in the land of thunder!

No need to support, it's Tatsuma's decision! The old man believed in him, believed that he could come back alive, and believed that he could bring good news to the village!

Also, what is the village going to support now?! Do you tell the old man to ignore the thousands of Yun Ninja who are operating in the territory of the Fire Country, or give up the war against Iwain Village and Sand Cain Village?!

Of course, the old man wants to save Sakamoto Tatsuma, if he is captured by Yun Ren, even if Yun Ren proposes that the old man and Tatsuma be exchanged for one, the old man will not hesitate to agree, but now. Please believe in Tatsuma, and trust the young people of the village.

It's like. The teacher trusted us like that. ”

Tuan Zang came with a lot of anger, how could it be that Ape Fei Ri had accumulated negative emotions every day for the past three months, not only him, but Lu Yuan and Ying Zhong's faces were also as dark as iron.

The actions of Tatsuma and the others are completely out of the control of the village, or in other words, it is very difficult for Tatsuma to let the village know their situation, after all, they are deep in the land of thunder, and thousands of cloud ninjas are encircling and suppressing them.

The analysis team led by Yamanaka Yingzhong, in addition to the necessary communication with other battlefields and squads every day, does the most is to dredge up the intelligence work, but so far, it can only be judged through the actions of Yun Shinobi in the Land of Thunder that Konoha's troops have not been completely annihilated.

But what about Tatsuma Sakamoto? How about Shinnosuke, Rope Tree? What about Lujiu, Haiyi, and Dingza? They are also ignorant of these things.

Compared with Tuan Zang, Ape Fei Ri Chop, Lu Yuan, and Ying Zhong are more qualified and angry, but they know that it is useless, and the only thing they can do is to believe in these young people.

was slashed by the ape Fei Ri and roared, Tuan Zang also fell silent, sat in his seat, clenched his fists, after a long time, the ape Fei Ri slashed a sigh, and his gaffe also recovered a little, and said:

"Tuanzang, let's go to Konoha Hospital first, your injury hasn't been properly dealt with at first glance."

"Hmm."

Tuan Zang nodded, and Sarufei Hizai also looked at Lu Yuan, and told him to deal with the news that Tuan Zang had brought back, and then stood up and planned to go back to his office.

But as soon as he stood up, the exhaustion of his body and mind made him a little dizzy, and he sat back in his place, waved his hand at Mito Menyan, who was close to him, and motioned for them to leave first.

Mito Menyan sighed a few times, patted Sarutobi on the shoulder, and walked towards the outside of the conference room.

In the conference room, there were only two people left, Ape Fei Ri Chop and Tuan Zang, Tuan Zang watched the others leave, and gradually revealed the tired Ape Fei Ri Chop, and said:

"I will rest in the village for seven days, and after seven days, there is still no news from Tatsuma, so I will go to the Land of Thunder first."

"What's the use of going? In vain, trying to fight against tens of thousands of cloud ninjas with the power of one person? ”

Ape Fei Ri Slash looked a little depressed, the eyelid of Tuanzang's left eye jumped, and at the same time, his breathing became heavy, he suppressed his anger and said:

"Ape Fly! If the teacher saw you like this now, would he regret dying?! Have you forgotten why you took the Hokage from me back then?! ”

Hearing this, Ape Fei Ri was silent, why did he get the teacher's approval back then, why did the teacher dare to stay calmly back then, and even why did he dare to die calmly?

Because he flew and slashed. Showed enough courage and determination, huh?

If you only talk about strength, talent, and combat record, Tuanzang didn't lose to him at all, but why did he become the Hokage? It's because of courage, right?

For this reason, Tuan Zang was obsessed with his arms for half his life, and even complained that he only spoke half a point faster at that time, otherwise, maybe the Hokage would be Tuan Zang.

But after so many years, he seems to have lost the courage he had at the beginning, but Tuan Zang seems to be. There is still a burning passion in my heart, even if it has been deep in darkness for many years.

The will to fire that burns may have changed, but it has not been extinguished.

But what about him?

"Tuanzang. Seven days later, the old man will go to the battlefield, Konoha will not take a step back, those damn Yun Ninja, still want to go further, unless they step on the old man's corpse, don't think about another half an inch! ”

There was no one who asked for it, but Ape Fei Ri Slash said it as if he had sworn an oath, Tuan Zang buried his head, and just said, "Hmph! ”
