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

At the end of the Jonin Conference, after discussing internal matters, it was natural to discuss external deployments.

The Uchiha had been sent to the front lines by Sarutobi Hiruzen, but it was not enough.

The person in charge on the front line of the Wind Country is an Uchiha elder, but that elder is too lazy. The war has stagnated, and the damage on both sides is relatively low, so it has entered a stalemate stage.

This wouldn't work because Konoha was fighting two enemies, the Sand Village and the Iwagakure, on its own, and the longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would become.

Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen ordered Uchiha Fugaku to replace the commander of the Wind Country front. The commander was still an Uchiha clan member, but Fugaku was a pro-war faction.

At the same time, on the front line of Rain Village, Hiruzen temporarily appointed Orochimaru as the commander-in-chief to lead a new batch of ninjas. The pressure that Hanzo brought to Sarutobi Hiruzen was no less than that of Sand Village and Iwagakure.

Jiraiya and Tsunade were naturally sent there by Hiruzen as well and set off that same day.

As for the Iwagakure, Akimichi Norifuze went there in person to supervise the battle. However, the battle line in the direction of the Iwagakure was too long and difficult to attack, so they could only withdraw their troops. They did not seek to achieve any merit, but only to avoid making any mistakes and not suffer a complete defeat.

Once the arrangement was made, Konoha's old machine began to run like crazy as if it had been filled with fresh oil.

After the conference ended, Tsunade walked out of the Hokage Building in disappointment.

"Tsunade."

A gentle voice sounded from behind.

"Break."

Tsunade turned around and saw it was Kato Dan.

"Don't be sad, Tsunade. Although the medical ninja's suggestion was not adopted, I support you very much."

Kato Dan said to Tsunade with a smile. His gentle smile was like a little sun, constantly warming Tsunade's heart.

"Medical ninjas are very important. No one will deny this. Even if you can't be adopted now, you must persist. I will become the Hokage's Tsunade. When I become Hokage, I will definitely adopt your advice."

Kato affirmed Tsunade with certainty. He held Tsunade's shoulders so that she could look at his determined face.

"Broken..."

For a moment, Kato Dan's face kept overlapping with Nawaki's in his mind.

Tears were rolling in Tsunade's eyes. She knew that it was difficult to have a medical ninja join the team because of many disadvantages. But...Duan was the only one who recognized her and comforted her.

"So don't be too sad, just hang in there, Tsunade."

The two were chatting, and Kato Dan seemed a little worried about Tsunade's condition, so he sent Tsunade all the way back to the Senju residence.

Tsunade blushed when she arrived at the Senju residence.

"Duan, I want to give you something."

"what?"

Kato Dan looked at Tsunade in confusion. The two of them had already confirmed their relationship, but had Tsunade prepared a gift in advance?

"Bow your head."

Kato Dan lowered his head upon hearing this.

Tsunade took out the precious necklace from her arms and gently put it around Kato's neck.

"This is what my grandfather left behind. It carries the will of the First Hokage. Dan, you will definitely become Hokage."

Kato was stunned for a moment, picked up the necklace pendant on his chest and took a look at it, then looked at Tsunade.

He smiled and gestured to Tsunade with the pendant between his two fingers.

"Of course, Tsunade, I will be Hokage!"

Kato Dan was assigned to the Iwagakure front, while Tsunade went to the Raingakure front with Orochimaru and Jiraiya. The two parted ways in front of the Senju residence.

......

On the other side, Mitarai Toumaru was following behind Orochimaru and talking nonstop.

"A ninja like me can actually be promoted to a jonin~"

"Ah."

"Although it's only a special jonin, it's still a jonin! This means that the distance between you and me is getting closer, Orochimaru! Don't let your guard down!"

"it is good."

"Why was I assigned to your side? The Sandaime-sama clearly knew that you and I were at odds. Seriously~"

"Ah."

"Orochimaru, I probably won't be able to find a wife, but I do have a younger sister~"

"Ok?"

Orochimaru turned his head and looked at Mitarai Toumaru, "Do you want to listen to what you are saying? You beast?"

"Um... I mean, my son can't be your apprentice anymore, but my nephew can always be your apprentice! Hahaha~"

"Oh."

In fact, Orochimaru wouldn't care that much if Mitarai Toumaru became a beast, but this guy is so procrastinating and his presence is really noticeable.

......

......

"Mr. Gu Zang."

Tsunade knocked on Gu Zang's door immediately after returning home.

"Huh... Tsunade-chan, you're back."

Gu Zang pushed open the door, still looking old. He had just breathed a sigh of relief because, like Tsunade, he had also rushed back from the Jonin Conference and was even kept by Hiruzen for a while. If Tsunade and Kato Dan had not hesitated at the door for a while, his shadow clone would have been discovered.

"Well, Mr. Kozo, what kind of person do you think Kato Dan is..."

Tsunade sat on the steps at the door of Gu Zang's house, hugging her knees and asked, while Gu Zang slowly crawled to Tsunade's side.

"Broken..."

How would I know? Kato Dan is your partner, not mine!

"Duan is probably a gentle person. He's been like that since the first time I met him. He's kind to everyone, a problem solver, and someone who works hard to do everything well."

“Very similar~”

Gu Zang rolled his eyes and said, "No matter what nice things I say, you will think it sounds like it!"

This is what a woman in love is like. She is willing to believe anything that is said to her. Sigh...

"Mr. Gu Zang, I'm going to the front line tomorrow. Please take good care of yourself at home."

"Don't worry, little Tsunade. Ahem... I haven't been back to the Wet Bone Forest for many years. Seeing how big you are now, it's time for me to go back and visit."

Gu Zang's old voice was full of nostalgia, and for a moment, it brought Tsunade's thoughts back to the past.

She was still young at that time. She would hold the dice cup in one hand and Gu Zang in the other, and ride on Gu Zang's back to play. When she was tired, she would sleep on Gu Zang's back.

Yes, so many years have passed, great grandfather, second grandfather, Shengshu...

Gu Zang returned to the Wet Bone Forest? That was complete nonsense. The next time Gu Zang returned to the Wet Bone Forest would be when he could beat up that old woman, the Slug Immortal. Before that, forget it!

This is because Shinzo's body was also sent out, and Konoha really was short of manpower. Moreover, for Shinzo to be promoted to Jonin, he really needed achievements other than those so-called hidden contributions.

Being promoted to a jonin is not important, and even Shinzo's body is not important before it completely becomes Guzo's human body. What is important is that Guzo is more interested in Sand Ninja's poison and puppet.

The place where Gu Zang was sent was actually the front line of the Wind Country.

Hiruzen also kept him and mentioned another personal mission to him - to keep an eye on Fugaku.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not trust the Uchiha, nor did he trust Uchiha Fugaku. The Uchiha were still harboring evil intentions, and Sarutobi Hiruzen was particularly worried about Fugaku, the rising star of the Uchiha family and the possible future head of the family.

If Fugaku shows any signs of malice, kill him!

The Anbu ninja will also monitor the Uchiha, but the Anbu are almost exposed on the front lines of the Wind Country because they are so lacking in combat power.

In this case, the Anbu is likely to have been infiltrated by the Uchiha, especially that old fox, the elder Uchiha.

And Shinzo's strong belief is the key to Hiruzen's ability to trust him.

Since Shinzo was sent out, Guzo naturally could not stay in Konoha. Wouldn't he be discovered sooner or later?

"I hope that fewer people will die in this war..."

Tsunade left Gu Zang's house and stopped disturbing him to rest. She went back to prepare to leave.

Gu Zang didn't have any preparations. He had his own system space, and it was not Gu Zang who set off, but Xin Zang.

Early the next morning, Tsunade came to say goodbye and found that Gu Zang was no longer in the room.

Looking at the open door of the house and the familiar mats and low table inside, Tsunade smiled slightly.

"Mr. Gu Zang, see you after the battle~"
