An hour ago, Hokage's office. [Read the novel with no wrong chapters, search on google]
【I regret it so much...】
Tsunade crumpled the official document she had just written into a ball with her hands and threw it towards the corner. The already overflowing trash can was surrounded by another burden that she couldn't bear.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, the usually tough and resolute Hokage changed his normal attitude, picked up the dead body lying in the corner, and started the thought mode.
"If I hadn't let Shizune be the director of Konoha Hospital, she wouldn't have stayed there all day long.
"If Shizune hadn't happened to be at the hospital that night, she wouldn't have performed the hydrostatic surgery on Uchiha who had returned from a serious injury.
"If Shizune didn't perform the water-stopping operation on Uchiha herself, she would have no reason to go to the ward all day long to explore the condition.
"If she didn't explore her condition, then the two people wouldn't be in love with each other and have a good impression of each other.
"If two people didn't like each other, they wouldn't get married, and Shizune wouldn't be pregnant now.
"If Shizune wasn't pregnant, I wouldn't have to think so much now. It would be a matter of course for her to be transferred here to help me deal with these messy things!!!"
The Fifth Hokage thought as he processed 76 files all morning.
[It’s such a boring, tedious and boring job, but the old man was still reluctant to leave before he disappeared? 】
She has reached the point where every time she reads a word, her brain goes blank and reloads the picture.
While Tsunade was in a trance, Doudo suddenly twisted his body and escaped from her arms, jumped behind the sofa in the office and hid.
Tsunade suddenly frowned: "Do you even want to avoid me, a lazy guy like you?"
She was about to get up and chase after him, relaxing and stretching her muscles, when there was a knock on the office door.
"Hokage-sama, I am Kurosawa from the market research department. I am here to report on the general decline in the price of explosive charms in various countries. Can you come in?"
"And I, Hokage-sama, I'm here to ask about the modification of the details of Shadow Rock!"
"Hokage-sama, the third generation grandson Sarutobi Konohamaru graffitied in school again and attacked the teachers!"
"Hokage-sama, some publishers from Earth Kingdom are very dissatisfied with the list of books for sale approved by Elder Fugaku!"
"Hokage-sama, there are people from twelve debt collection companies who are crying in the reception hall of the Hokage Building and they can't be driven away. They must see you!"
[Here it comes again! Just finished processing one batch and here comes another batch!]
As soon as she heard these things, Tsunade felt a lack of interest.
However, she couldn't completely ignore her responsibilities.
Therefore, Tsunade did not answer immediately, but took out the gambling equipment from the drawer and took out the dice, then put the tea cup on it and shook it vigorously on the desk for a while, without using any cheating techniques.
Then she took three deep breaths and suddenly opened the tea cup. Her eyes lit up immediately, and she even felt that the whole room was lit up——
There are actually three 6s on the table! This is the maximum value that can be shaken out under normal circumstances!
【Big success.】
Seemingly supported by fate, Tsunade confidently shouted out the door: "I'm very busy now! Go to Elder Fugaku or Elder Shikaku. If they can't handle it, come to me again!"
The people outside seemed to hesitate for more than ten seconds, and finally left muttering. I don't know what they were complaining about, but they definitely didn't suspect that the Hokage was gambling at work.
However, before Tsunade behind the desk had time to relax, she heard joking laughter from the window: "Hahaha, I wonder if the old man would feel regretful if he saw this scene just now?"
Tsunade was not surprised, because she was very familiar with this voice, and the owner of this voice was one of the people she trusted most in the world.
"This is the passage I left specially for the ANBU directly under my control, Jiraiya."
"I'm sorry, because I saw a lot of people queuing at the door before, so I decided to go through the window."
Jiraiya stepped in from the window sill and placed a drink with a golden fat sheep on Tsunade's desk. This is a must-have drink in many casinos and is said to have the effect of improving luck.
"In addition, I may have some precognitive abilities. When I passed by Tanshu Street this morning, I prepared an apology gift for you. Please don't blame me for such a trivial matter."
Tsunade didn't say anything, she opened the mouth of the drink cup and sniffed it gently.
“Specially asked for the non-alcoholic version.”
Tsunade then poured the drink into the tea cup with confidence, took a sip, and then quickly glanced at Jirai: "How was it this time? Did you find any useful clues?"
"No. I went to the places that the old man always loved to go to. I even visited the Country of Whirlpool, but I didn't find any traces."
Jiraiya leaned on the bookcase and shook his head slightly, "But I'm not surprised, after all, he is a person called 'Doctor of Ninjutsu'.
"Even Orochimaru can disappear without a trace. If the old man is determined not to be discovered, unless he asks me to wake up Toad Sennin for divination, he can only wait for him to show up."
"Could it be another possibility..." Tsunade frowned slightly, as if she had many bad associations.
"I really like what the boy named Xingjuro said."
Jiraiya interrupted confidently: "If something bad doesn't actually happen, don't always fantasize about it.
"That is the old man who taught the Sannin of Konoha. No matter whether it is physical or mental, he will not be so indestructible.
"Sansho Hanzo has ruined the country like that and is still alive and well. Although the old man is not as good as the second generation, he is still much better than that guy. There is no way he can't think about it."
"..." Tsunade pondered for a while, finally agreeing with Jiraiya's point of view, "I hope I'm worrying too much."
The day she took office was the day Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly disappeared from the world.
I thought the old man was in a bad mood and went out to change his mood, but he never came back.
Starting about a year ago, Jiraiya would ask for news about the Third Hokage every time he went out, but this news... was too complete.
"Well, although there is no result in finding someone, I passed by the Valley of the End last night and happened to meet Yuhi Kurenai and the others investigating the earthquake. I eavesdropped for a while while I was taking a nap."
Jiraiya stepped forward, picked up a pen and drew a simple diagram on the back of an abandoned document: "Not only was Orochimaru resurrected, but he also used the Yaki no Jutsu he had stolen to fight others.
, at least seven of the heads were chopped off. His battle with the opponent created a small pit one kilometer wide, and the Valley of the End has now turned into a large lake."
"Destructive power on this scale..." The first thing Tsunade immediately thought of was the man who had killed Orochimaru once: "Do Yuhi Kurenai and the others think that this is most likely the work of Uchiha Giyu?"
"That's what they think. However, in recent years, analysis of battle traces of Uchiha Giyuu from various places have mentioned traces of water erosion and cutting."
Jirai obviously didn't think so, "But considering the intensity and duration of the earthquake at that time, I feel that the pit should not have been cut slowly, but directly blasted out by the powerful energy output instantly, otherwise it would not have been possible."
There will be such a big movement.”
"You mean, tailed beast jade?!"
The thought of a wild tailed beast or a Jinchuuriki from another country that might be operating within the Fire Country made Tsunade's forehead tense with worry.
"If it weren't for the Tailed Beast Jade, it would have been a super-super-large Rasengan. But even I can't make a Rasengan of this size."
Jiraiya originally thought that telling a joke would make Tsunade relax, but it had the opposite effect.
"It's Orochimaru again, the tailed beasts and jinchūriki, plus other messy things, the Fire Country is really going to be a mess."
Since there are only seven heads left in place, there is a high probability that Orochimaru managed to escape.
After Tsunade complained angrily, she took out a document from the thick stack and handed it over, "This is a letter I received this morning from Uchiha Itachi, who is a civil servant in the Daming Palace. Please read it.
.”
If Uchiha wants to be Hokage, he must have the endorsement of a daimyo, so they must send someone to stay in the Fire City to have a good relationship with the daimyo.
It happened that Uchiha Itachi didn't want to be a ninja, so Fugaku saw that the eldest son was getting angry at every turn, so he simply sent him over.
Nowadays, Itachi has become a message relay between Konoha and the Daimyo - because although the Hokage and the Daimyo are relatives, they don't get along very well, so when they contact each other, the words and sentences they use always highlight one being domineering and arrogant.
In order to reduce conflicts between each other, Uchiha Itachi would often polish the letters after receiving them, and only then presented them to both parties after successfully reducing the offensive statements in them.
"Someone attacked four gold exchanges in the Land of Fire and stole the intelligence they had collected over the years."
Jiraiya quickly summarized the important content after taking it: "The attacker was masked in black robes and had a teenage build. The weapon he used was a samurai sword hanging from his waist. It was indestructible and was suspected to be the legendary Kusanagi sword. The attacker fished by showing off his samurai sword.
The method caused a melee, and then found a reason to launch a counterattack...
"Many veteran jounin are no match for their superb sword skills. If the person who attacks them is a vicious ninja, the opponent will kill them on the spot without mercy..."
He glanced over it repeatedly, and finally said uncertainly: "Although this letter was sent back by Uchiha Itachi, according to my understanding, the only person who can meet these descriptions is Uchiha Giyuu."
Jiraiya once heard from Tsunade that although Giyuu's current sword is not a Kusanagi sword, it is probably not much stronger in terms of strength. It is normal for it to be considered a Kusanagi sword.
"It's not impossible. But if you look at this again, you also received it this morning..."
With a speechless face, Tsunade handed Jiraiya a mission authorization letter, which was the same one that Jiraiya showed to Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura an hour later.
"That Kado from the shipping company? It's actually a big business..."
After making a noncommittal comment, Jiraiya turned over the power of attorney and immediately saw the two portraits.
"I remember this mask. It seems that there is a similar style one at Naruto's house..."
"This is a mask designed by Giyuu Uchiha himself. You can't find it anywhere else."
Tsunade pointed to the two portraits, "And among the two masked men, the shorter one also has a knife on his waist like Uchiha Giyuu; the taller one seems to be as tall as Infernal Anjuro in the Land of Fire recently.
The active clones match.”
"you mean……"
"The Valley of the End, the Money Exchange and the Country of Waves may all be the work of Uchiha Giyuu.
"But I think about it carefully. As you said, the first one is more likely to be done by a jinchuriki. As for the second one, if Uchiha Giyuu wants to do it, he probably won't use cunning methods like fishing; so
Among them, the most likely to be related to him is this third one."
Tsunade handed Jiraiya a writing brush, "It just so happens that I have a letter delivery task to give to Kakashi. He only needs one person to do it. As for this mission to the Land of Waves, you will take it.
Naruto, Sasuke and Haruno Sakura should go there."
"I understand what you mean." Jiraiya's expression became rare and serious, "But even if you are worried that Orochimaru or others will take action against Konoha..."
"Although I don't want to say it, the place around Purgatory Anjuro and Uchiha Giyu is a safer place for Naruto than Konoha. When I find out what happened with the other two things, I can eliminate the potential
If they threaten you, it won’t be too late for you to bring them back.”
Seeing what Jiraiya wanted to say, Tsunade directly played her identity card and said without any doubt: "This is the Hokage's order, execute it."
"You said so..." Jiraiya scratched his head, "Now, I have no choice but to comply. But, can I ask? Of course, it has nothing to do with the mission."
"What?"
"I can guess the reason why you put Naruto and Sasuke into the same class. But this Haruno Sakura seems to have nothing to do with them..."
[In terms of potential, they are not at the same level, so they will fall apart sooner or later...]
"One reason is... Haruno Sakura is the one who has made the fastest progress in the graduating medical ninja crash course, and can supplement the team's shortcomings."
Tsunade gave the answer, but it wasn't complete.
After a moment of silence, she gave another reason: "In addition, she is the only one among the recent graduates who has a dual spirit."
"That's it." Jiraiya suddenly realized.
Dual spirit sounds useless to the ears of ordinary ninjas. It feels like the dual personality in a child's mouth, a bit silly.
But for those who practice the "Spiritual Art", dual spirit is as crucial as Sharingan to Uchiha Shurikenjutsu.
If Kato Danya had a dual spirit back then, and could partially leave his body while relying on even a small part of his remaining spirit to barely control his body in order to avoid and deal with attacks on the body and delay time, maybe history would be
Rewritten.
"Don't worry, Tsunade! I know how important this child is to you."
Jiraiya patted his chest grandly, "Even if I can't finish this novel now, and the protagonist can't lose weight and has to be a virgin for the rest of his life, I will definitely take good care of these three brats!"
"I scratched the prize this morning and said thank you for your patronage. I think you will be fine."
"Then I'll lend you some good advice." Jiraiya stepped out of the window with one leg and turned around and asked: "On the other side, about the money exchange..."
"I've already thought about it. Since the robbers are sword masters, I'd better send an expert to investigate."
Tsunade lifted the tea cup and took a sip of the drink: "It just so happens that Shizune hasn't reached the critical stage of pregnancy yet, so I'll let Uchiha Shisui be busy for a while longer. I can just take care of her myself."
