Sand Ninja Village, five minutes after the explosion.
The pungent smell of gunpowder smoke filled the air, a large number of buildings on the edge of Sand Ninja Village collapsed, and the surrounding circular mountain walls were full of cracks.
"Help...help."
"Come on, my legs."
A huge boulder trembled and was pushed aside with a roar.
"Temari, are you okay?"
Chakra lines extend from Kankuro's ten fingers, and he is conducting post-war rescue work.
"Cough cough cough..."
Temari coughed repeatedly. When she raised her head and looked around, her first thought was: Where is this? Is this really the Sand Ninja Village?
There were several charred corpses scattered around Temari, and the ruined walls around her all stimulated her nerves. She seemed to suddenly think of something, and grabbed Kankuro's arm beside her.
"Where is Gaara?"
Hearing Temari's question, Kankuro lowered his head and gritted his teeth.
"Master Kazekage was...captured by Akatsuki's thieves."
A female Suna Ninja whose lower body was blown to pieces was gasping for breath. Her bloody hand reached out to Temari. Temari quickly stepped forward and grabbed the hand of the female Suna Ninja.
"We must...rescue...Feng Yingda..."
As she spoke, the female Suna ninja lost her voice and her arms dropped weakly. This was Temari's close friend and best friend.
"ah!!"
Temari looked up to the sky and shouted, tears falling from her cheeks. After a long time, her emotions calmed down.
"Kankuro."
"how."
Kankuro seemed to find something wrong with Temari.
"Find a way to ask for help from Konoha. Any request they make will be met. Akatsuki's thieves must pay the price."
"Well, Mr. Maki has asked for help. There is a peace treaty, and Konoha will not just sit idly by."
The light of hatred also appeared in Kankuro's eyes. The figure standing high in the sky holding a long sword in the night was imprinted in his mind. The moon behind him seemed to be dyed blood red, dyed red by the blood of the Suna ninja.
…
Konoha Village, inside the Hokage's office building.
Two hours after asking for help in Sand Ninja Village, the Fifth Hokage Tsunade learned the news.
"Shizune, did Suna Ninja Village provide any other information?"
Tsunade was wearing loose green clothes, but her big breasts couldn't be concealed. Although she was quite old, her appearance was not old at all, she looked like a mature woman in her twenties or thirties.
"Tsunade-sama, this is the specific information about the three people who attacked Suna Ninja Village."
Hokage's secretary Shizune handed over three pieces of information.
"This can't be a trap."
Tsunade participated in the Second Ninja War, and her impression of Suna Ninja Village was not very good.
"These three guys..."
A white-haired man sitting opposite Tsunade spoke, it was Jiraiya who had just returned to Konoha.
"What's wrong Jiraiya?"
Tsunade looked at Jiraiya in confusion.
"I have fought against these three people before."
"What!"
Tsunade sat up straight, picked up the three documents on the desk and looked at them carefully.
At this time, there were other people in the Hokage's office, a blond young man, a pink-haired kunoichi, and a white-haired masked ninja.
The three people are: Naruto Uzumaki, the protagonist of the plot, Sakura Haruno, the medical ninja, and finally Kakashi, who is known as the copy ninja.
None of the three people spoke, they just watched quietly.
At this time, Naruto was a little different from when he was a teenager. Although he was still a little impulsive when things happened, he would not make a fuss. After three years of training with Jiraiya, he was obviously more mature.
"The sand ninja village rebelled against the ninja scorpion, the rock ninja village rebelled against the ninja Deidara, and... the ninja Byakuya who doesn't use ninjutsu? Is this guy a candidate member of Akatsuki?"
Tsunade threw away Su Xiao's files and began to carefully look at the files of Scorpion and Deidara. These were both very famous rebellious ninjas.
The only information sent to Konoha from the Sand Ninja Village was that he was attacked and the Kazekage was captured. The specific information was not introduced because it was too embarrassing.
Jiraiya picked up Su Xiao's information on the table.
"Tsunade, this guy is not an alternate member."
Tsunade looked up at Jiraiya. Although ninjas who use "ninja swords" are not weak, ninjutsu and taijutsu are the mainstream fighting methods of ninjas.
Jiraiya hesitated for a moment and unbuttoned his clothes, revealing the wound that was still wrapped with a bandage.
After untying the straps, a terrifying wound that was more than half a meter long and deep enough to reach the bone appeared. This wound was very hideous, and there were faint traces of blood on the wound.
"This is what that guy left for me. If I hadn't dodged in time, my heart would have been cut."
Tsunade frowned when she saw the wound on Jiraiya's chest, a green light flashed on her hand, and she pressed one hand on Jiraiya's chest.
"This kind of injury..."
Haruno Sakura on the side was a little horrified when she saw Jiraiya's shocking wound. She was a medical ninja and knew how serious this injury was. Jiraiya's death only showed that he had tenacious vitality.
"My ribs are broken, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Tsunade looked a little unhappy.
"I've almost recovered. You were too busy after becoming Hokage, so I didn't bother you."
Jiraiya laughed brightly and scratched his head.
"idiot."
Tsunade cursed lowly and kept moving her hands. After a long time, Jiraiya's face became rosier and his stab wound healed a little.
"Tsunade, how are you going to handle this matter?"
Jiraiya was also hesitant about whether to go to support Suna Ninja Village in person, as he had other important things to attend to.
Seemingly sensing Jiraiya's thoughts, Tsunade whispered to Jiraiya: "How was the investigation of the previous matter?"
"There are already some clues. The home base of the Akatsuki organization is probably in the Rain Ninja Village. Of course, this is just my inference."
"Rain Ninja Village?"
"right."
Tsunade looked thoughtful. It was impossible to directly send troops to the Rain Ninja Village. It would cause diplomatic conflicts.
"This mission..."
"No."
Tsunade interrupted Jiraiya.
"Continue to investigate the Akatsuki. If the Akatsuki organization exists for one day, it is possible to attack Konoha. I always have a feeling that the Suna Ninja Village incident is just the beginning, and our support is just a statement, and the distance is too far."
Jiraiya nodded, and Tsunade thought with him that even if he supports the Sand Ninja Village, he may not fight. This is a matter of attitude.
"knew."
Jiraiya stood up and left. Although supporting the Suna Ninja Village was important, he had more important things to do. It was true that the Suna Ninja Village was an ally, but that was just an ally, not as important as his own affairs.
"The support will definitely come, but..."
Tsunade looked embarrassed. Now most of the Jonin team in the village are out on missions, and those who have not left must be stationed in Konoha. After all, the neighboring Suna Ninja Village has just been attacked, and Konoha needs to be more vigilant, not to mention that the Fire Country has recently been empty.
Many mysterious forces appeared.
"Grandma Tsunade."
When Naruto spoke, a hash mark seemed to appear on Tsunade's forehead, and her eyes seemed to say: 'If you dare to call me a mother-in-law again, I will hang you up and whip you.'
Women care about age, and Naruto is no exception.
"What's up."
Tsunade's tone was not very good, and Naruto laughed brightly, as if he knew he said the wrong thing.
"Let's go to Class 7."
Naruto had just returned to Konoha not long ago. He had gone out to practice for three years and was preparing to show off his talents.
"this……"
Tsunade hesitated. She had heard from Jiraiya before that the Akatsuki organization seemed to be plotting against the tailed beasts. Judging from the fact that the one-tail jinchūriki was kidnapped, this news had been confirmed.
A difficult problem is before us. There is no one available in the village and many jounin teams have not returned home. Team 7 seems to be the best choice.
Tsunade knocked on the desk, making a banging sound.
"Okay, you serve as the advance team to support us. Now rush to Suna Ninja Village."
"yes."
Kakashi nodded and left the Hokage's office with Naruto and Sakura.
"Tsunade-sama, is this really okay?"
Shizune seemed a little worried.
"What's okay?"
Tsunade looked at Shizune in confusion and smiled.
"Just ask Naruto to provide support."
After listening to Shizune's words, Tsunade shook her head.
"It takes three days to get to the Suna Ninja Village from Konoha. Even if Kakashi is on the road without sleep, it will still take about two days. Our sending people to the Suna Ninja Village is just an attitude. After the Akatsuki organization captures the Jinchuuriki, it will not
So arrogant that he stayed near the Kingdom of Sand."
