Naruto: Starting from Tsunade-san.

Tsunade didn't know how many times she had sighed today. She felt that she had sighed more recently than in the whole year: "Anyway, let's go find Mr. Sarutobi and see what he suggests. He is the Hokage. There should be many more connections than me.”

"This is the only way it can be."

Aokiji and Tsunade team up to find Sarutobi Hiruzen, intending to see if he has any connections and treat them both.

Hokage's office.

The Third Hokage clasped his hands together and put them on the table with a solemn expression. He had been having a hard time recently because of the affairs of his two disciples: "Tsunade, Aokiji, I now have two tasks for you two."

Tsunade looked displeased, and for the first time in her ninja career, she refused to perform a mission: "Now that Orochimaru and Jiraiya are like this, how can I be in the mood to carry out any mission?"

"Tsunade, let Master Hokage finish speaking first." Aokiji glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen: "I think this mission must be related to the treatment of Jiraiya and Orochimaru."

"Yes."

After hearing the news, Tsunade felt a little better: "Really, you could have just said no, Sarutobi-sensei."

"You didn't even give me a chance to speak."

"..." Tsunade coughed: "Then what kind of mission is it?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of cigarette: "In order to treat Orochimaru and Jiraiya's injuries, I used various connections to find famous doctors. Among them, Chiyo, the senior executive of Sunagakure Village, made me feel the most reliable. She She is a master of poison and the best medical ninja today, so I plan to ask her to help me treat Orochimaru and Jiraiya. If even she can't do it, then I'm afraid no one in the world will ever treat Orochimaru. With Jiraiya."

When it comes to Sunagakure Village, Tsunade has the impression that it is a village as famous as his Konoha Village. It is a village belonging to the five major countries and belongs to hostile forces:

"Sunago Hidden Village in the Country of Wind? They seem to have frequent conflicts with us in the Country of Fire. Would she be so kind to help us?"

"Of course, it's impossible to be so kind, so we in Konoha Village need to do something for her and the village she represents."

"whats the matter?"

"Assist the ninjas of Hidden Sand Village to arrest a person. The mission location is in the Kingdom of Wind, a country called Loulan."

Chapter 125 Konoha White Fang

"Loulan?"

Qing Zhi asked aloud. The name sounded a bit impressive, and he couldn't remember it for a while.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "This is one country, China."

"The country of China? I heard you right. This country seems to be within the territory of the Kingdom of Wind. It established a country within its own territory. Does the Kingdom of Wind allow such a country to exist?"

"This has historical origins, so I won't go into details here. You can simply understand that this country donates a large sum of money every year in exchange for the blessing of the Kingdom of Wind."

Qingzhi nodded and understood, then asked: "So what is the specific target of this mission?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen continued to provide information: "The target of this mission is called Viper. She is female. She is an elite Jonin of Sunagakure Village. She is very powerful. Because the assassination of the Daimyo of the Wind Country failed, the Wind Country is fully wanted."

Assassination of a daimyo?

When Qing Pheasant heard this, his favorable impression increased greatly.

He was very unhappy with the fact that the Daimyo was a carbon-based creature.

Unfortunately, the two sides have different positions and cannot allow personal feelings to be substituted into the task.

"What are his powers?"

When performing missions, the intelligence of enemy ninjas is a very important part.

"In addition to the ordinary wind release ninjutsu, he is also good at using poisons, puppet techniques, and a secret technique that uses the tattoos on the body as an entity to fight."

After hearing this, Aoki couldn't help but want to praise him. He knows a lot of ninjutsu, and he deserves to be an elite jounin.

The strength of ninjas at this level of jounin is uneven. The lower limit is high and the upper limit is also high. Since Sarutobi Hiruzen evaluates him as an elite jounin, then this woman named Viper should be quite strong. To be honest, even with Aokiji's current strength In addition, Tsunade is probably not sure of winning.

Seemingly sensing the other party's worries, Sarutobi Hiruzen took the lead and said: "This mission is not just for you and Tsunade, there are two other people."

This mission was related to the future of Orochimaru and Jiraiya. He thought Aokiji should be aware of the importance and follow the instructions of his superiors during the mission.

After finishing speaking, he added: "Because the enemy knows the situation of Sunagakure Village very well, if the ninjas from Sunagakure Village rush to Loulan, there may be the possibility of alerting the enemy, so we, the ninjas from Konoha, are assigned to go there."

"I see……"

While Qing Zhi was talking, two more people came into the office, one big and one small, wearing masks.

Sarutobi Hiruzen introduced the two of them: "These two are your companions on this mission."

Aokiji and Tsunade looked at the two of them. Except for their white and black hair and a pair of eyes leaking out of the mask's holes, the other parts were completely covered by the mask. Their faces couldn't be seen clearly, so naturally they didn't know their true identities.

Judging from the masks these two people were wearing, they were probably ANBU members who had not escaped.

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked the two men to take off their masks.

The two looked at each other and fell into silence for a while.

As an ANBU member, he will only take off his mask when facing the Hokage alone, and must remain mysterious at other times, even when facing friends from the same village.

"It doesn't matter, they are not outsiders."

After this mission is over, Sarutobi Hiruzen does not intend to let them continue to serve as ANBU members. He wants his direct descendants to join ANBU, so whether these two people wear masks or not will not have much impact.

"I see……"

A mellow voice came from the mask of the tall ANBU ninja, and then he took off the mask, revealing his true appearance. He was about forty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a square face, a wide forehead, and a beard. If it weren't for knowing As an ANBU member, when you walk on the street, you will think that he is an honest person at first sight.

After he took off his mask, the short man also took off his mask. He had white hair and a mask on his face. The lower half of his face could not be seen clearly, but judging from his facial features, he should be second only to Aokiji. Handsome guys, in terms of age, they should be about the same age.

"Ah, Uncle Sato."

The moment Tsunade saw the tall man taking off his mask, she couldn't help but cover her mouth in surprise.

Aoki looked at Tsunade with questioning eyes.

Tsunade introduced Aokiji: "I'm telling you, even though he looks like an honest man, he is actually a disciple of the First Hokage."

As an honest person, Sato shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Hey, Tsunade, do you just come up and introduce the elders like this?"

Aoki glanced at Sato specifically, with a look of surprise on his face. He didn't expect that the First Hokage actually had a disciple.

Hearing Tsunade comment that he is an honest person, and as the disciple of the first Hokage, he was not interested in the position of Hokage at all after the death of the second Hokage, and even helped Hiruzen Sarutobi. To a certain extent, he is indeed innocent. He seems like an honest person, just like the first Hokage back then.

The difference is that he doesn't have the strength of the first generation, and he doesn't have a good brother to advise him.

Tsunade didn't take it seriously: "I don't know who listened to a five-year-old girl who said that if you throw an ax into the lake, a lake spirit will appear, and then she will tell people whether it is your golden ax or a silver ax... "

Sato said with a dark face: "I am just here to play with you..."

Tsunade looked at the white-haired boy.

Sato smiled slightly and introduced: "He is my disciple, Hatake Sakumo. He is two years older than you, and he is very strong."

(PS: The original work did not mention White Fang’s specific age. Kakashi was 29 in the first film, and Tsunade was 55. She gave birth to children in her s and s. The logic makes sense.”

Tsunade disagreed.

She didn't take it seriously, while Aokiji was very surprised.

White Fang?

That Kakashi's dad?

After listening to the introduction just now, he finally understood why White Fang was a little confused later on.

White Fang is the proper successor to the Will of Fire.

In the original novel, White Fang couldn't bear the accusations from the villagers that he died, and he had a heart of glass.

But in his opinion, it is not so much a glass heart as a collapse of faith.

The main reason is that the mission is really tricky.

"Hello, my name is Hatake Sakumo."

White Fang took the initiative to greet Tsunade and Aokiji.

Even though I'm in the dark area, it doesn't feel dark.

"Ah hello."

Qing Pheasant responded politely.

"It seems that you all understand each other, so let's go on the mission right away." Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled, and then looked serious. The future ninja careers of his two beloved disciples depended on this mission.

"Yes."

The four of them accepted the mission and set off immediately.

The territory of the Kingdom of Wind is barren and gives the impression that there is nothing but desert. However, this country is not completely landlocked. There are still places bordering the sea in the territory.

The country they are heading to now is a place relatively close to the sea. If Qingzhi and others want to get there as quickly as possible, it will be much faster if they take the waterway.

The four of them rushed to the seaside location of the Kingdom of Fire as quickly as possible, took the boat, and set sail.

If you take a boat, it will take at least two or three days to get from here to Loulan if you go at full speed.

During this period of time, Qing Pheasant spent most of his time on the boat. When he felt irritable, he would occasionally choose fishing to calm his mood, so as not to involve his emotions in the task later.

"The bait is hooked..."

Tsunade reminded from the side.

Qing Pheasant's brows sank. Judging from the strength transmitted in his hands, this fish was indeed very powerful.

If he only relied on his own strength to catch it, it would take a lot of effort. In order to save time, he directly chose to catch it.

"Tsunade, you are strong, come on."

After that, he handed the fishing rod to Tsunade.

"It's really useless for you."

Tsunade's mouth was scornful, but her body was very sincere and her physical strength was amazing. In a moment, he broke the water and fished out a big fish, which fell on the deck.

The fish had just jumped around a few times when Aoki pheasant pulled out Yama and killed the fish with one strike.

Sato, who was standing aside, saw this and recognized the extraordinary origin of the sword. He looked surprised and stepped forward, wanting to take a look at Aokiji's ninja tool.

Qing Pheasant handed it over casually.

Later, the other party was shocked, and then Qingzhi Versailles said: "Oh, actually I don't want it either, but the elders of the family insist on giving it to me, and there's nothing I can do about it.

After listening to Aokiji's faint pretense, White Fang silently looked at his special chakra dagger.

Tsunade joked: "You are really wasting your resources, using a ninja like the Kusanagi Sword as a kitchen knife.

"I think those ninjas who like to use ninja tools know this. I'm afraid they want to kill you."

Qing Zhi looked indifferent: "The sword is meant to chop things, no matter what it does."

Compared to the Kusanagi sword, Aokiji actually wants to get the decapitating sword more.

This weapon has the effect of drinking blood and being reborn. If you kill a pig with a broken decapitation sword, you will definitely be able to produce a lot of high-quality metal. If you sell it as scrap metal, you will probably make a lot of money.

"You can't say that..."

Although Tsunade didn't know much about swords, after hearing Sato's praise of the Kusanagi sword just now, she knew to some extent what an amazing ninja tool the weapon Aoki used was.

"A sword is a sword. It's a tool used for cutting. If I don't use it to cut things, why should I keep it as an ancestor?"

Aoki Pheasant said in his mouth, but his hands were not idle. He opened the belly of the fish. In addition to the internal organs, there were some undigested food and some messy things inside.

For example, this current one.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 126 Loulan

"Huh? What is this?"

It is a semi-elliptical shape with a cylindrical bulge at the upper end. The whole thing feels like an excavated fossil and has a sense of age.

If you look carefully, there is a large circle on it, with a square inside it. Inside the square are nine circles of the same size, arranged in a nine-square grid, giving people a rather mysterious feeling.

Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, feeling like he had seen this thing somewhere before.

But he just can't remember it. Generally speaking, the things that are impressed in his mind are probably not simple.

There will definitely be a big difference between the two-dimensional things and the three-dimensional appearance.

Tsunade took it over, took a look at it, and said, "It looks like some broken stone. Throw it away."
