Hokage: I really don't want to work hard!Kakashi

Itachi was sitting on a tree stump to rest. Although he had been unsteady just now, his condition at the moment was not bad. His unsteadiness just now was just because of excessive consumption on the mental level. Not only was there no consumption on the physical level, he even felt worse than It was much better before. If I could take a nap, I would feel refreshed when I woke up.

"I'm sorry Kisame, that ANBU is very strong. I couldn't defeat her in Tsukuyomi. If it were later, we would definitely be surrounded. You shouldn't have the means to defeat Uzumaki Naruto, right?"

Kisame's eyes widened in disbelief. He had seen the power of Itachi Tsukuyomi. Because of this, he knew how strong Tsukuyomi was. He couldn't even imagine what kind of person could survive after being hit by Tsukuyomi. Resist.

"What? Even you can't defeat her? Who is she?"

"An old friend."

Having said this, Itachi smiled, his smile was so gentle that Kisame was confused.

After sending Sasuke to the hospital, Naruto asked Izumi to leave Konoha. Originally, Izumi was brought by Naruto to deal with Itachi. Now that Itachi's matter has been resolved, leaving her in Konoha for one more minute will increase the risk of exposure. , might as well send it away early.

Izumi didn't want to stay in Konoha at first, so he left after making sure that Sasuke was fine.

At night, Quan sat alone on a branch blowing the evening breeze, smiling, her long hair dancing with the breeze, and the moonlight reflected on her face, adding a bit of color to her.

"You seem to be in a particularly good mood today."

Zabuza's voice sounded behind Izumi. Izumi looked back at him, nodded and looked up at the moon.

"Yeah, I'm really in a good mood today. What's wrong? Do you want to discuss with me?"

"I don't dare to ruin your good mood, but I am interested in knowing where your good mood comes from. Is it just because of meeting Itachi?"

"Of course not, Itachi is a very careful person."

Zabuza was stunned. In his opinion, this sentence was simply incomprehensible.

"What do you mean?"

"I was recognized by him."

"Are you happy because of this kind of thing? It's not a good thing for you to be exposed."

Zabuza suddenly regretted coming to talk to Izumi at this time. In fact, he wanted to come and ask Kisame, but he couldn't ask directly, so he just said a few polite words first, but he didn't expect to go off topic by going around. .

Quan shook his head, the smile on his face not diminishing at all.

"Being recognized doesn't mean you're exposed. There are some things you won't understand."

"Yeah, I don't understand anymore. I'm going to bed. You should also go to bed early."

Zabuza jumped down from the tree and left with some displeasure.

A few days later, Naruto received news that Kakashi and Jiraiya had found Tsunade, and the three were already on their way back.

Naruto breathed a sigh of relief and was finally able to put down his burden. Just as he was about to relax and take a rest, there was a sudden knock on the door of the house, and the knocking sound was very urgent. It was obvious that the person who knocked on the door was very anxious.

"Come on, come on, I'm just getting ready to take a rest, why are you in such a hurry?"

Naruto complained as he opened the door. The person who came was an ANBU, and it was the ANBU squad leader who first contacted Naruto, Gray.

"Huh? It's you, what's the matter?"

"Captain! Uchiha Sasuke may have defected!"

Gray was excited and even a little panicked, but Naruto was overjoyed after hearing this.

"What did you say? Sasuke defected? Quick, take me there!"

Naruto was also excited, and those who didn't know thought he was the same as Hui, but in fact he almost laughed.

Hui didn't dare to neglect, and quickly led the way. The two rushed to Sasuke's ward. Sasuke was no longer in the ward, and there were only two ANBU and Sakura.

"Sakura, what's going on?"

Naruto pretended to be anxious and called Sakura. When Sakura saw Naruto coming, she seemed to have found her backbone and pounced directly on Naruto.

"Naruto, Sasuke, Sasuke is gone."

"I know, don't worry, tell me the situation first, when did he leave, and what happened before that?"

Sakura's mood gradually stabilized and she said:

"I often come over to visit Sasuke these days. As soon as Sasuke woke up, he asked where you were. I said I didn't know. You have to manage ANBU affairs every day, so I couldn't disturb you. I just said that you would wait until he was discharged from the hospital. I'm going to find you. He was able to get out of bed this morning. I was very happy at first, but Sasuke didn't know what was irritating him. He kept saying that he was too weak and wanted strength or something, and then ran away from the window. At first I thought he just ran out to vent, but soon an ANBU came over and asked why Sasuke suddenly left the village."

"Hi~~That's it..."

Naruto frowned, pretending to be distressed, and Hui immediately stepped forward to ask.

"How's it going? Captain, do you want to chase me?"

"Chasing? Why should I chase? The Hokage is not here, and I have no right to mobilize the ninjas in the village. The ANBU's current task is to guard the village. What will you do if you chase the village? Give me some brains!"

"Yes Yes……"

Hui shrank his head and stepped back. Naruto rubbed his forehead with a "headache", took several deep breaths in succession and then looked back at Hui.

"How many days until Kakashi and the others can return to the village?"

"At least two more days."

"Two days? Doesn't that mean the day lilies are already cold?"

Naruto pretended to be angry and slapped his hand on the railing beside the bed. Sakura bit her lip, looking like she was hesitant to speak.

Naruto stood up and paced back and forth in the ward, and it took nearly a minute before he stopped.

"In this case, I will send a message to Kakashi and the others first, asking them to come back as quickly as possible. After Princess Tsunade becomes Hokage, I will go after them myself."

"But sending letters also takes time. It's only two days' journey. Going back and forth doesn't save much time."

Gray questioned, but Naruto ignored him. He found a piece of paper in the ward and wrote down the general situation of Sasuke's defection. Then he bit his finger and pressed it on the ground. A blue one that was nearly one meter long appeared. Frog appears.

The frog first looked around, then his eyes fell on Naruto.

"Oh! It's Naruto-kun!"

The frog was very happy to see Naruto and nuzzled Naruto with his head. Naruto smiled and touched the frog's head and handed the paper to it.

"I remember you were only as big as a finger when I fed you. Are you already this big now?"

"Haha! Of course, we frogs grow very fast."

"Let's not talk too much. Please help me deliver the letter. It must be delivered to Kakashi or Jiraiya. It's urgent, please."

"Okay! I'll go right now!"

The blue frog answered solemnly and then turned into white smoke and disappeared. Naruto breathed a long sigh of relief. Although he didn't know what method the frog used to contact the person who signed the contract with them, he knew that Miao Mushan must be There is a way, not to mention that he was just pretending to do it for these people to see. It doesn't matter whether it is useful or how useful it is.
