"Tsunade-sister, who were the man and girl just now?"
In the temporary accommodation in Caoyin Village, Toneri let his shadow clone take Reika, whose hair had been taken care of, and the young kitten, and quietly left Caoyin Village.
Originally, the place where she lived was on the edge of Kusakure Village, and the not-so-strict guarding had shifted due to the arrival of their Konoha ninjas.
It is not very difficult to leave with someone.
Tsunade rolled her eyes at him angrily, "That is the leader of their Kusanagi Village, and the girl you are fighting is his daughter.
Fortunately, you defeated her, Caoyin Village has officially signed an alliance contract with us."
"Then Taki-nin..."
"Taki Ninja naturally has Kusanagi to deal with it. We only need to provide supplies to Kusakure Village."
Small countries naturally have small countries to deal with. Just like the Iwagakure Village controls Taki Ninja behind the scenes to interfere with the connection between Kusanagi and Konoha, Konoha of course also uses Kusanagi to deal with Taki Ninja.
This is how small countries survive between big countries.
They themselves do not have many resources. In order to survive, they sometimes have to rely on some big countries, and accordingly, they should pay a price.
This has nothing to do with the so-called kindness. This is not my race, and its heart must be different!
Small countries like Taki Ninja, Kusanagi Ninja or Rain Ninja, as long as they have the opportunity, of course they wouldn't mind taking a big bite out of these big countries so that they can become nourishment for their own growth.
And such a premise requires them to survive well.
The same is true for the Country of Grass, the same is true for the Country of Taki, and the same is true even for the Country of Rain, which has the top combat power "demigod" Sansho Hanzo.
"This... is probably the current situation of this world. I don't know why, but I seem to understand what Yahiko and the others think."
Shiren sighed silently in his heart and said nothing.
As if feeling Toneri's mood, Tsunade patted his shoulder helplessly, "Don't think too much, what we need to do is to do our best to protect our companions, although
Sometimes, even just wanting to do this is a luxury.”
Nodding silently.
...
...
"Let's go back to Konoha!"
Tsunade left Kusakure Village with Toneri's three little ones. Both the three little ones and herself had completed their mission.
When leaving, you don't have to follow the caravan slowly, and the speed suddenly increases a lot.
No one spoke a word along the way.
Uchiha Yoshinari and Nara Yoshino saw blood in this mission, and also fought life and death battles with ninjas from other villages.
This is their progress and growth.
It was my first time to do a mission, and it was a B-level mission. It was impossible not to be excited.
According to the speed they are moving at this time, they will probably reach Konoha before nightfall tonight.
"I don't know if Lingxiang and the others have settled down, and the shadow clone has not dissipated. I don't know what the situation is.
But that's right, I deliberately injected more chakra into the shadow clone. According to the daily consumption, it should be able to last for a while. It is not a good thing if the shadow clone disappears prematurely."
While rushing on the road, Toneri was thinking about what he should do to bring Reika into Konoha, or simply let her stay outside.
Although Konoha is much safer, it will also lose personal freedom.
As long as Reika reveals her identity as a Uzumaki clan member, it is not difficult to enter Konoha.
But, is Konoha really the right place for her?
With her status as a member of the Uzumaki clan, coupled with her own special physique and abilities, it is inevitable to become a ninja, but... there is no guarantee that Danzo, her teacher Orochimaru, etc., will be interested in her.
"I can't think of it for now. Let's let her live outside first. And it depends on her own choice. If she doesn't want to become a ninja, then give her an ordinary life."
Put aside your hesitation for the time being.
When he regained consciousness again, the sun had already set, and the gate of Konoha was right in front of him.
"Toneri, follow me and go to the Sandaime to report on the mission. Yoshinari and Yoshino, you two will be dismissed on the spot." Tsunade said to the three of them.
The three of them nodded.
This was the first time they had left the village for such a long time, and they wanted to go home quickly to inform their families about their situation.
Toneri followed Tsunade and quickly rushed towards the Hokage's office in the middle of Konoha.
"Is it because this time you went out and came into contact with a small country like the Country of Grass, and saw the lifestyle of the people at the bottom of this world, it was a little hard to accept it for a while?"
Tsunade asked, keeping herself and Toneri at the same speed.
As a lower-class resident of the Kingdom of Thunder, Toneri thought that was already the lowest level in the world. However, when he went to the Kingdom of Grass, he discovered that the real lowest level was still the residents of small countries, especially small countries that were at war.
Toneri turned his head and looked at the expressionless Tsunade, shook his head and said: "No, I just think what you said makes sense, Sister Tsunade. What we can do is to try our best to protect our companions around us. This world is too big.
War continues, and if a crisis does not occur, it may threaten the entire world.
It is impossible for hidden villages and countries of all sizes to unite and change the world."
What he was thinking about at the moment was the Fourth Ninja War brought about by Madara Uchiha decades later.
But to be honest, what do these things have to do with him?
All he wants is to live peacefully, and it would be great if he could have a few close companions around him.
The two came to the Hokage's office.
He saw Hiruzen Sarutobi calmly putting away the crystal ball on the table.
"Ah, it's Tsunade and Toneri. Are you back? It seems the mission is completed." He picked up the pipe on the table and lit it skillfully.
"Old pervert!"
Tsunade would not care about Hiruzen Sarutobi's reputation as the Hokage. She had long known the function of Hiruzen Sarutobi's crystal ball.
Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression became a little embarrassed, and his old face turned red, but he quickly recovered.
In terms of shame, he has never lost to anyone.
"Ahem, so it seems that Kusakure Village has agreed to cooperate with Konoha, right?" He coughed twice to ease the embarrassment.
Nodding, he took out the scroll with the contents of the contract from his pocket and placed it on Sarutobi Hiruzen's desk.
I opened it and took a few glances.
This was the content of the contract that he and several consultants had drawn up from the beginning. He thought he would have to argue with Kusagakure Village for a few days, but he did not expect that with the help of Takigakure Village and Iwagakure Village, the signing of the alliance would become so complicated.
smoothly.
Put the scroll in your hand into the drawer.
"Toneri, your performance is also good. Tsunade will tell me about your situation every day."
While he was talking, a blue and white slug the size of a palm crawled out from Sarutobi Hiruzen's shoulder.
That's why he agreed to let Tsunade take the three little guys and start the first mission from B level.
After all, Toneri is the second-tailed Jinchuuriki, and he needs Tsunade to report on the situation every day.
The strength of the three little guys is not weak, especially Toneri, who almost has the strength of a chunin.
"Some arrangements...should be taken seriously." Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was holding a pipe in his mouth, thought silently.

ps: Jinmu is really... I can feel that it is slow to heat up, but it is fast, and the ground is almost laid. After it is released, the explosive pace will be much faster, and there are only five days left in the countdown! Please vote for recommendation!
