Itachi hurried to the medical department and asked if a child was injured, but received an answer - Tsunade was operating on the child.
After hearing the news, Itachi knew that the injured child was Naruto.
When an ordinary child was injured, it would definitely not be the turn of a medical ninja of Tsunade's level to take action. She took the initiative to come here for two reasons: First, Naruto's position in the village is very special. He is the orphan of the Fourth Hokage.
No matter from what point of view, the village will try its best to ensure the safety of their lives.
The second reason, perhaps more important, is that the Nine-Tails sealed in Naruto's body is a dangerous factor. If Naruto dies, the "Nine-Tails Rebellion" of that year may happen again - even if it does not happen, Konoha Village will also
In a short period of time, no suitable jinchuriki could be found.
Many factors were intertwined, forcing Tsunade to take Naruto's injury seriously.
At this point, Itachi and Tsunade's expectations were the same, and he did not want Naruto to be in trouble for his life.
On the one hand, he did not want to see the "Nine-Tails Rebellion" appear again. On the other hand, Naruto may have met the person who abducted Sasuke, which was what he was most concerned about at the moment.
I originally thought that the results would be available within an hour or two at most, but I didn't expect that Tsunade, who had been busy until dawn and looked tired, came out of the operating room.
During this period, Uchiha Fugaku also came here.
After only one night, Itachi could clearly feel his father's fatigue.
Although he was usually strict with Sasuke, if something happened to Sasuke, Fugaku would be hit no less hard than him.
After simply patting Itachi on the shoulder and saying "I'll leave this to you", Fugaku left the medical department again.
Yesterday, many unbelievable things happened - the chunin exam was interrupted, Sasuke was kidnapped, and Danzo's mansion was burned - these made Fugaku feel physically and mentally exhausted, and he didn't even have time to think about Yusuke.
Uchiha Itachi understood his father's mood. He would rather be busy himself and let fatigue numb him. In this way, he would not have the energy to think about Sasuke. However, he could not just get lost in confusion.
He wants to save his brother.
Itachi waited outside the operating room with difficulty until Tsunade came out.
When Tsunade saw Itachi, she was also stunned. Then she turned around and glanced at the operating room behind her. Someone was already preparing to push Naruto out.
"Tsunade-sama." Itachi bowed deeply, "Naruto, is he okay?"
"Saved my life." Tsunade licked her lips.
After a busy night, it would be more comfortable if there was a bottle of sake, right?
"Are you drinking?" Tsunade asked.
Itachi shook his head.
He doesn't drink, and he's even less in the mood to drink now.
"Don't be so reserved. Maybe in the future, you won't have the chance to drink." Tsunade shook her head.
"Tsunade-sama, I..."
"I know what you are here for. My suggestion is to wait for him to wake up. However, I advise you not to have too much hope."
"Why?"
"You have to consider the possibility of amnesia. It's hard not to be scared when a child sees a dead person, not to mention, he was also seriously injured..." Tsunade put her hands in the pockets of her white coat and passed by Itachi, "If
If you want to know more, you might as well bring a bottle of wine and come to my residence."
"What do you know?" Itachi asked quickly.
"I don't know anything, but I think someone should know."
"Who is it?" Itachi asked quickly.
Tsunade waved her hand and said no more.
Itachi scratched his head.
Wine? Do you want to buy some snacks to go with the wine?
He was in a very irritable mood.
If possible, he hoped to know Sasuke's whereabouts as soon as possible.
With a bottle of wine and a tender chicken, Itachi knocked on Tsunade's door, but was surprised to see that Tsunade's cheeks were a little red and she smelled strongly of alcohol.
"Okay...come in?" Tsunade walked in front and led Itachi to the living room.
Itachi put the wine and chicken on the table, but unexpectedly saw Shizune lying in the corner.
"Is she... okay?" Itachi asked.
"Yeah. It's just that my body is a little tired, and after being locked up in the dungeon for a long time, and suddenly coming outside, it takes some time for my eyes to adapt... He is too rough." Tsunade clenched her fists.
Whether he was imprisoned in a dungeon or dragged Shizune directly to the forest of death, Orochimaru was outstanding in his roughness.
"I really envy her..." Itachi said with emotion.
It sounds strange, but to Itachi, Shizune finally survived despite suffering so much. At this moment, no one knows what Sasuke's fate is.
Thinking of this, Itachi became more and more sad.
In order to inquire about Shizune's movements, Konoha Village used almost all the resources within its capabilities, but there was still no news. If she hadn't suddenly appeared in the Forest of Death, Tsunade might not be able to find any news about Shizune until her death.
Thinking about Sasuke's whereabouts, Itachi felt desperate.
"She almost died, if someone hadn't saved her." Tsunade poured the wine into the cup.
"Someone rescued him? Who?" Itachi asked quickly.
"You really forgot... I remember that when you were competing with Orochimaru, there was a masked man who kept reminding you, right?"
"Wait a minute, you mean the person who imprisoned Shizune is Orochimaru!?" Itachi said in surprise.
"Yes, and the person who saved her was the masked man."
"But why did he want to save Shizune?" Itachi asked in confusion.
"Who knows? But do you know the identity of the masked man?" Tsunade asked.
Itachi shook his head.
"Terauchi Yusuke."
"What!?" Itachi couldn't believe it.
He had been looking for Terauchi Yusuke's movements, but he never thought that Terauchi Yusuke was in Konoha Village.
"Yes, if you have time and you are willing to wait, maybe you can wait for him." Tsunade explained.
"Will he come?" Itachi asked.
"I guess it will come." Tsunade nodded.
"But what does this have to do with Sasuke?" Itachi asked confused.
"I don't know either. But I think if it's related to Orochimaru, he might know something. What do you think?" Tsunade poured another glass of wine, "By the way, I also learned something about it from Shizune.
Are you interested in hearing any clues about Yusuke?"
With Sasuke's whereabouts unknown, Itachi found it difficult to calm down, but there were no other clues now. Even Naruto was unconscious, so he could only be patient and listen to Tsunade's account of Shizune's experience in the Forest of Death.
"So, after the ninja who was chasing them appeared, Shizune and Terauchi Yusuke separated?" Itachi asked.
"yes."
"Then how did you know he would show up?"
"Guess. After all, after the stalemate between him and Orochimaru, it is impossible for him to follow Orochimaru again. But given the current situation in Konoha, unless he has a way to leave Konoha, it is unlikely that he will find a stable place.
Easy." Tsunade said.
At this moment, the window was suddenly pushed open and a figure rushed into the room.
Tsunade turned her head, her sleepy eyes saw the figure, and she suddenly became energetic: "What did I say, Yusuke Terauchi, he will come, right?"
