Naruto started to become stronger by becoming a disciple of Tsunade

A smile on his face.

As the Hokage's close aide, Hodai is responsible for all matters big and small in Konoha.

Once anything happens in the village, Hetai will usually be notified first.

As soon as Tsunade and others arrived at the village entrance, the person in charge of patrolling the gate sent someone to notify Hetai directly.

"It turns out that the teacher is back." Okamoto Dousuke's face was very calm.

After all, no matter what, Okamoto Dousuke is now the leader of a village, and it is a bit unreasonable for him to show his joy like before.

However, Okamoto Dousuke was a little surprised. He didn't expect Tsunade to return to Konoha so soon.

Although I knew Tsunade was coming back.

But in his mind, Tsunade must have spent quite some time playing on the road.

This is also the reason why Okamoto Dousuke did not come back with Tsunade.

If he had come back with Tsunade, he might not have reached the border of the Fire Country by now.

Besides, Jiraiya is here, and Tsunade's hemophobia has been cured, so no one should be so blind as to provoke them along the way.

"Hotai, go and inform Vice-President Ayase and the others to go and welcome Teacher Tsunade." Since Tsunade has returned, Okamoto Dousuke naturally wants her to feel how much Konoha values ​​her.

Grand but not cliché, this is what Tsunade wanted.

That's why Okamoto Dousuke asked Hodai to notify Tsunade's old subordinates to go and welcome him.

"I understand, Lord Doujie." Hetai immediately ran out happily.

After arranging Tsunade's return, Okamoto Dousuke looked at Kakashi.

"Kakashi, is there anything wrong with you?" Okamoto Dousuke asked Kakashi who was also a little anxious.

"Dousuke, look!!" Kakashi took out a forehead protector from behind his back.

"Ninja defection?"

When he saw the forehead protector, Okamoto Dousuke frowned slightly.

Because on the smooth surface of the forehead guard, there was a deep scratch that ran across the entire surface of the forehead guard.

Okamoto Dousuke stood up and walked to Kakashi's side.

He reached out and took the forehead protector from Kakashi.

"Is this for Sasuke?" When Okamoto Dousuke saw the forehead protector, the first person he thought of was Uchiha Sasuke.

Considering this time period, the only person who might defect is Uchiha Sasuke.

The white and rosy fingertips slid across the inner wall of the forehead protector, and a row of ninja numbers appeared in Okamoto Dousuke's perception.

It is indeed Uchiha Sasuke's ninja number.

"Yeah!" Kakashi nodded.

"When did you find out?" Okamoto Dousuke looked at Kakashi.

“Just discovered it.”

"But the scratch on the forehead protector doesn't look like it was left just now." Kakashi said, looking at the forehead protector in Okamoto Dousuke's hand.

“Who discovered it?”

"It was the patrol team of the Hyuga family. While patrolling this morning, they found a girl who had been knocked unconscious in the village."

"Haruno Sakura?"

"Yeah! Yes." Kakashi nodded.

"The patrol team found Sakura unconscious, and she was holding this in her hand." Kakashi glanced at the forehead protector in Okamoto Dousuke's hand.

"Have you asked?"

"I asked, and Sakura said she saw Sasuke last night." Kakashi sighed.

"Did he run away last night?"

"It may be too late." Okamoto Dousuke shook his head slightly.

"....." Kakashi didn't say anything, but his eyes were also very pessimistic.

Because what Dousuke Okamoto said was right.

In just one night, it was obvious that Uchiha Sasuke's defection was premeditated.

After one night, I had no idea where he had escaped to.

Unexpectedly, Uchiha Sasuke finally chose the path of defection.

Okamoto Dousuke placed Uchiha Sasuke's defection forehead protector on the table.

Okamoto Dousuke just sat down.

Just at this moment, there was a sudden knock at the door of the Hokage's office.

"Hey, Sakura, why are you here?"

Just as Okamoto Dousuke was about to call in, he heard Uzumaki Naruto's excited shout coming from the office door.

"Xiaoying, you must have known that I was coming back, so you waited for me here on purpose."

"I didn't expect you to care about me so much, Sakura."

"Hey Hey!!"

Naruto Uzumaki's narcissistic laughter sounded outside the door.

"Come in!!" Okamoto Dousuke couldn't stand Uzumaki Naruto's narcissistic laughter anymore.

As the words fell.

The office door was pushed open.

Tsunade and Jiraiya were the first to come in.

A little behind them are He Tai and Bai Cao.

The last ones to fall behind were Uzumaki Naruto and Haruno Sakura.

"Yes, he looks a bit like an old man." Tsunade couldn't help but raise her eyebrows as she looked at Okamoto Dousuke, who was wearing the Hokage hat and the divine robe.

Although Okamoto Dousuke still looks young, he has an aura of maturity, stability and majesty.

It seems extremely contradictory, but also extremely harmonious.

"Dousuke, we are back!!" Jiraiya nodded at Okamoto Dousuke.

"Welcome home, Teacher Tsunade. Teacher Jiraiya, Shizune." Okamoto Dousuke opened his arms with a smile, welcoming the return of the two Sannin and Shizune.

"Bad boy!!"

"You've learned the old man's tricks quite well." Seeing Okamoto Dousuke's look, Tsunade couldn't help but curl her lips slightly.

"Grandma Tsunade's return is all thanks to me!" As soon as Okamoto Dousuke finished speaking, Uzumaki Naruto boldly patted his chest to take credit.

"You idiot! Call me sister!" Tsunade grabbed Uzumaki Naruto's ear.

Okamoto Dousuke is now grown up and is the Fifth Hokage of Konoha, so Tsunade is naturally embarrassed to pull Okamoto Dousuke's ears like she did when they were children.

The appearance of Uzumaki Naruto just filled the position that Okamoto had previously held.

"Granny Tsunade, it hurts, it hurts!!" Uzumaki Naruto, whose ears were pulled, still called out to Grandma Tsunade without repentance.

In the Hokage's office, except for Kakashi and Haruno Sakura, everyone else couldn't help but smile.

Haruno Sakura, who was feeling worried, looked at everyone who was smiling.

The two little hands kept opening and clenching, clenching and opening.

Finally, Haruno Sakura seemed to have made up her mind.

Make fists with both hands and muster up your courage.

He took a few steps forward and stood in front of everyone.

"Hokage-sama!!" Haruno Sakura shouted at Okamoto Dousuke with all her might.

Hearing Haruno Sakura's shout, everyone present looked at her.

Everyone looked over there.

For a moment, Haruno Sakura was a little shy, and her fair cheeks turned red in an instant.

But Haruno Sakura still forced herself to suppress the nervousness and uneasiness in her heart and said, "Hokage, please save Sasuke."
