Water bears at the beginning, wet bone forest eating old people

Jiraiya grinned at Gu Zang's teasing, but he couldn't laugh out loud, let alone refute anything.

Tsunade knelt beside him, tears in her eyes, and used the Palm Fairy Technique to keep him alive.

Jiraiya's upper body was almost blown to pieces, but fortunately he ran over in time. The external injuries, especially the back, were more serious, and only the chest and lungs were affected internally, so he would not die for the time being.

The moment the explosion spread, Gu Zang propped himself up and hid Tsunade under him to block it. What explosion? It was just high-temperature and high-pressure fire. For the tardigrades with maximum fire resistance, this thing was like a gust of wind.

The explosion outside was rumbling, but it was not so deafening after being blocked by Gu Zang's body.

Jiraiya reluctantly turned his head and looked at Tsunade who was crying, and his heart seemed to melt.

"I'm fine... Tsunade... I..."

"Don't talk, idiot!"

Jiraiya, whose spell was interrupted, finally couldn't hold on and fainted.

The severe pain from multiple burns on the body was a bit cruel for a seven or eight-year-old child.

"Mr. Gu...Mr. Gu Zang!"

"It's okay, it's okay~ The kid said he was fine, he just fainted~"

What good shit can Jiraiya hold back? Gu Zang expressed his disdain. It was just a trivial matter of a young man's youthful impulse with three or four characters.

Gu Zang recalled the events in his memory. Although Jiraiya was an old pervert, he was also a romantic man. He loved someone all his life, but never said it out loud until his death. This was probably a pity.

It seems that everyone knows it, including Tsunade herself, but no one will do this kind of thing for her. Jiraiya, maybe he and Tsunade are not destined to be together. ~ It is also not right for Gu Zang to interfere. After all, he is in this world, and the first thing he has to consider is his own survival.

Gu Zang believed that if he dared to interfere in Tsunade's emotional affairs and Senju Tobirama found out, he would definitely be hit by his top-notch hard-vortex water blade.

If he is not dead, the next step is to use multiple shadow clones and Flying Thunder God Slash, and multiply the detonating tags to make a blast. In the end, maybe the Impure World Reincarnation Pillar will come out and do a mixed doubles.

Gu Zang never doubted Senju Tobirama's suspicion and malice towards him. He really wanted to find a reason to kill him!

The explosion lasted for five minutes. Sarutobi Hiruzen stood at the foot of the mountain, watching the rumbling sound coming from the top of the mountain from time to time, his face darkening.

Tsunade is still there. She is the princess of Konoha, the descendant of the Senju family, and the granddaughter of the first and second generations.

Moreover, according to Orochimaru's description, there was almost no possibility that the bandit leader would bite randomly before dying.

This means that Konoha has been infiltrated and someone has reached out to the mission issuance office.

For ninjas, the size of their basic living space depends on the quantity and quality of ninja missions.

Most ninjas who are not orphans and are not in special positions do not have any salary, and their living expenses depend entirely on ninja missions. If the information in ninja missions is concealed or modified on a large scale, Konoha will be destroyed from the root.

The infiltration of the ninja mission may mean that other places in Konoha have also been infiltrated. After all, the mission issuance office is right at the foot of the Hokage Building, and whether important missions are accepted must be considered by the Hokage himself.

Five minutes later, Sarutobi Hiruzen breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Tsunade running down the mountain.

Tsunade was still holding the unconscious Jiraiya in her arms.

Jiraiya's external injuries have basically been treated, but some of his internal organs are damaged and he needs to be sent to the hospital after returning to Konoha for regional targeted treatment.

Hiruzen saw the two figures from afar and knew that Jiraiya was not dead.

Tsunade arrived in front of him, Orochimaru took two steps forward to pick up Jiraiya, and gave him a quick check to make sure there was nothing serious.

"Hiruzen-sensei..."

Tsunade's emotions have not yet been well calmed down.

"well-done."

Hiruzen nodded to Tsunade as a comfort, then looked at Kozang on Tsunade's shoulder.

He believed that in such a large-scale explosion, if it were not for Gu Zang's intervention, not only Jiraiya but Tsunade would definitely not have survived.

"Mr. Gu Zang, thank you very much!"

Hiruzen said, bowing to Kozo.

"Ah~ That's not the case. Tsunade is Hashirama's junior. As for that kid, he just has a stronger vitality~"

Gu Zang waved his front paws and leaned lazily against Tsunade's collar, looking as if he really had nothing to do with him.

The more this happened, the more Hiruzen admired Kozo's character.

"Mr. Gu Zang, may I ask you for a favor? This explosion has implications for the village, and I need to investigate personally. Please ensure that the three of them return to the village."

Hiruzen used honorifics in his conversation with Kozo.

"Easy to say, easy to say~"

Watching one is the same as watching, and chasing three is the same as chasing. This explosion is obviously not within the scope of C-level tasks. Gu Zang can also see some clues. When it comes to such things, just do Senju Tobirama a favor and protect the three people all the way.

Hiruzen trusted Kozō very much, and without saying anything more, he turned around and instructed Orochimaru:

"The mission has been accomplished. Return the same way you came and report back. Don't worry about anything else. Also, keep this explosion a secret for now."

"Understood, Hiruzen-sensei."

Orochimaru answered simply.

Seeing this, Hiruzen walked directly towards the top of the mountain.

The hill where the entire village was located was almost unrecognizable, with broken trees everywhere and the remaining fire still burning. Most of the buildings in the village had collapsed, and corpses were scattered all over the ground, most of which were burnt.

After the mission is completed, the ninja must make sure the target is dead.

Originally, this should have been done by Sanxiao, but in addition to making sure that all the bandits were dead, Hiruzen also had to use some remaining clues to find out who was behind this.

Tampering with C-rank characters, such a despicable way of destroying Konoha's lower-level ninjas.

If Hiruzen and Kozō were not there, any Genin team that came to carry out this C-rank mission would likely be wiped out.

There may be many similar tasks. The important thing is not to eliminate them immediately, but to find the mastermind behind them, otherwise the same thing will happen again and again.

At the entrance of the stronghold, Hiruzen found the bandit leader. He had no intention of escaping and was suffocated to death while facing the inside of the stronghold.

Hiruzen rummaged through the commander's clothes and found the flint to ignite the explosives.

Nothing else.

"Direct communication? It can't be that low-level."

Hiruzen muttered to himself and continued walking towards the village.

......

It took a whole day to get here, but on the way back, since Jiraiya was still unconscious, Tsunade and Orochimaru had to slow down, and out of caution, they tried not to rush at night.

The bonfire was slowly burning. Tsunade sat beside the fire, looking at Jiraiya, whose face looked like a ghostly scribble. For some reason, she suddenly laughed.

"What's wrong."

When Orochimaru heard the noise, he immediately asked softly from the treetop nearby.

"It's okay, look at Jiraiya, he's annoying when he's awake, but when he's asleep, he's actually quite cute..."

Orochimaru:"?"
