Starting from the root of Konoha, he was the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 12 Tsunade! (Seeking monthly ticket)

When Sarutobi Atsushi and the other two arrived, they were relieved to see Hayami Mari subdued.

But it was inevitable that they felt that this mission was a bit too easy. After three missions in a row, they seemed to be of no great use.

The three people did not doubt the wooden thorns stuck in Hayami Mari's limbs. After all, there were broken wood everywhere around them, so they would not think of using Wood Release at all.

Even the opponent, Mari Hayami herself, did not notice that Hoshita Hide used Wood Release in the confrontation that ended in a flash.

The secret technique of Wood Release has become a legend since the time of Hashirama Senju, and there are very few people who have seen it with their own eyes.

After pulling out the wooden splinter, Xingxia Xiu instructed, "Bandage her up, don't let her die."

"Fly, use your bugs to make sure she doesn't do anything bad on the way."

Sarutobi Atsushi and the other two immediately nodded and started to get busy.

After a while, the three of them dealt with Hayami Mari.

Xingxiaxiu didn't say much, waved his hand and left.

But he stopped not long after, and the three Sarutobi Atsushi behind him also stopped immediately, took out their ninja tools, and prepared for battle.

Soon, a figure came into the sight of the four people.

"Senior Jiraiya..."

Sarutobi Atsushi immediately recognized the person.

Under the mask, Xing Xiaxiu was also a little surprised, but then he understood.

It was obviously the flare that attracted Jiraiya.

Jiraiya had already stopped and looked at Xingxia Xiu and the other three: "Anbu..."

"Looks like I don't need your help!"

At present, there is no particularly big difference between the Root and the Anbu directly under the Hokage, and Jiraiya is unable to tell the difference.

Xing Xiaxiu responded calmly: "Indeed, it is not necessary."

Jiraiya nodded and stepped aside.

Hoshita Hide nodded and leaped forward, with Sarutobi Atsushi following closely behind.

Jiraiya's eyes passed over Hayami Mari's graceful body and he couldn't help but mutter, "What a pity for such a beautiful woman. How cruel!"

However, although he said this, he had no intention of interfering at all.

After watching Hoshita Hide and the others disappear into the forest, Jiraiya scratched his head and said, "It's time to reunite with Tsunade and the others, or we won't get beaten again."

Jiraiya shuddered at the thought of Tsunade's fist.

Yes, he heard about the beautiful scenery nearby when he was returning from a mission, so he left the team to appreciate it, and he was not disappointed.

……

An hour later, Xingxia Xiu and his group stopped and rested by a river to replenish their energy and water.

But less than ten minutes after resting, three figures appeared by the river.

"Captain, it's Jiraiya-senpai, along with Princess Tsunade and Orochimaru-senpai!"

Sarutobi Atsushi was the first to notice and spoke up to remind them.

Xing Xiaxiu, who had been resting with her eyes closed, opened her eyes and looked around, and three figures came into view.

And the next moment, his eyes were locked on the most beautiful figure.

Tsunade!

Tsunade is only twenty-two years old.

Not that mature, not that fierce, but very strong!

Jiraiya didn't expect to meet Xingxia Xiu and the others here again. He whispered to Tsunade and the others, "I have met them before from the Anbu."

Orochimaru had a blank expression on his face, and Tsunade nodded slightly, but her brows were slightly furrowed because she felt Xingxia Xiu's scrutiny of her.

The look is too aggressive!
Xing Xiaxiu withdrew his gaze and had no intention of going forward to say hello.

Tsunade and the other two also did not come over, but rested by the nearby river.

However, unlike Hoshita Hide and others who ate Bingliangwan, Jiraiya and his friends went directly to the river to catch fish, then grilled the fish and made fish soup.

Soon the fragrance filled their noses, making Sarutobi Atsushi and the other two swallow their saliva.

want to eat!

Hoshita Hide was unmoved. He was a Root ninja trained by Danzo himself. This temptation was nothing to him.

Twenty minutes later, Xing Xiaxiu set off with his men.

Watching the four people go away, Jiraiya couldn't help but ask, "Hey, who do you think that woman is?"

Orochimaru said calmly: "This has nothing to do with us."

Jiraiya was unhappy: "Orochimaru, you are too boring."

Orochimaru then asked back, "You've seen them twice, what do you think?"

Jiraiya rubbed his chin and speculated, "He must be a spy, right?"

"She's so beautiful, could she be a ninja who rebelled against the village?"

Tsunade curled her lips, "Only you men would fall for something like this!"

Jiraiya immediately retorted after hearing this: "Tsunade, aren't you going too far?"

"I, Jiraiya, am a very serious and upright ninja. How could I be fooled by such a trick?"

Tsunade nearly rolled her eyes at that.

Seriously, it's barely acceptable.

But seriously... hehe!
Jiraiya also knew that his words were not very convincing, so he immediately changed the subject and said, "The guy leading the group seems to be no ordinary person. I went to the battlefield they left behind. It was a one-on-one fight, and the battle was over very quickly."

Tsunade wasn't surprised: "People in the Anbu are all elites."

"However, this guy's eyes are not very pleasing."

Orochimaru's eyes flashed, and he said, "Those are a pair of very ambitious eyes!"

Tsunade stretched and said, "I don't care if he has ambitions or not. Let's get back to the village as soon as possible. I can't wait to go back and take a bath."

Jiraiya immediately smiled and said, "This place is also fine!"

"Don't worry, I will keep an eye on this guy Orochimaru."

Orochimaru watched quietly.

Tsunade snorted coldly: "The one I'm most worried about is you, a lecherous guy!"

After saying that, she stood up and said, "Let's go!"

……

There was no conversation along the way. Hoshita Hide and his group returned to Konoha smoothly without any accident. They then sent Hayami Mari directly to the interrogation department, and then returned to the Root base to report to Danzo.

"well done!"

Danzo was very satisfied with Xingxia Xiu's performance.

Several tasks were completed very quickly and perfectly in a row, and Hashirama's cells were not wasted.

"Go down and rest!"

Danzo emphasized again: "We must hurry up and practice Wood Release!"

Wood Release is an important chess piece for him to control the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki, and he cannot afford to lose it!

Hoshita Hide hastily assured, "Yes, Danzo-sama."

……

Returning to his residence, Xingxia Xiu recalled Danzo's last emphasis: "Wood Release, especially incomplete Wood Release, is not the most important for Konoha, but the suppression of the Nine-Tails."

"I should have thought of it earlier... Danzo has already set his sights on the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."

"But Uzumaki Mito isn't dead yet, but he will be soon."

As he pondered, Xingxia Xiu suddenly thought of a way to allow himself to straddle darkness and light.

"There's no rush."

Xingxia Xiu thought calmly: "I must not let Danzo know my hidden thoughts. I must let him know that everything I do is for the Root, for him, Danzo."

Wash up and go to bed!
Xingxiaxiu fell asleep quickly and slept until seven o'clock in the evening.

After washing up, he was ready to go to practice in high spirits, but as soon as he went out, Shimura Daichi came to him.

Another mission!

Xing Xiaxiu agreed, but in her heart she couldn't help but snort: "You really don't treat us as human beings!"

"I have to carry out missions intensively, and I also have to master the Wood Release technique as quickly as possible..."

"Sure enough, no matter where you are, the boss is always the same!"
