Konoha Thief

Chapter 344 Excessive remarks

"I didn't expect you to know medical ninjutsu." Hiruzaru Sarutobi breathed out the smoke and said with a smile, "However, regarding your mission, it's not that you join the medical team, but let him serve as Tsunade's bodyguard. This is a very important task.”

At the end, his tone became visibly serious to show that what he said was true.

"Protect Tsunade-sama?" Xia Shu was surprised for a moment, before asking any further questions, he said solemnly: "I will risk my life to protect Tsunade-sama!"

"Hehe! I know that you will definitely have doubts about this task, so I will speak bluntly, but you must not tell others about this." Hiruzaru Sarutobi said solemnly.

"Yes!" Xia Shu replied seriously.

Mentioning this matter, Tsunade frowned slightly, with an irritable expression on his face, turned his head away, then turned and walked to the window.

That graceful back suddenly looked sad and weak.

"Alas!" Hiruzaru Sarutobi sighed sadly, looked away, and said to Natsuki: "During the Second Ninja World War, Tsunade suffered from hemophobia for some reason, and he couldn't see blood, otherwise he would lose all his power , unable to resist any danger, so this time you go to the front line, you must protect her well, and at the same time keep this secret."

"Yes!" Xia Shu hurriedly said with such a secretive expression.

"En." Hiruzaru Sarutobi nodded in satisfaction, and said: "The medical team has been mobilized from the medical class, and it will start at [-]:[-] in the afternoon. From now on, you will follow Tsunade."

Xia Shu looked at Tsunade's back, and silently stepped aside.

Seeing him like this, Hiruzaru Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura did not shy away from it, and discussed how to deal with Sagakushi and then move to the defense line of Yunyin and Iwagakure.

"Let's go, are you going on the road on an empty stomach?" When Xia Shu was fascinated by listening, Tsunade suddenly pulled him away, and said casually.

Following Tsunade to leave the Hokage Building, Xia Shu didn't ask where he was going, but just followed silently, as if he had already started to perform the protection task.

"Just eat ramen, brat." Tsunade stopped outside Ikraku Ramen, his nose moved a few times, and he suddenly felt a sense of whetting his appetite. He put his waist in and said sideways: "You have won so much money from me, and you are the only treat." gone."

After finishing speaking, regardless of whether Xia Shutong agreed or not, he went straight into Yile Ramen.

Xia Shu smiled helplessly, and walked in.

"Slap uncle, it's still the same." Xia Shu sat down beside Tsunade who was looking at the menu, pulled out his chopsticks, and waved to the smiling hand.

"Wait a minute, Brother Xia Shu!" Handa raised his head to look up, and replied with a smile.

"Give me the same one." Tsunade dropped the menu and said directly.

"Please wait a moment." Hand nodded.

"Come here often to eat ramen?" Tsunade asked absently.

Xia Shu glanced at her, pondered for a moment, and said: "Don't worry, Tsunade-sama, I will protect you well, even if you are in danger, I will stand in front of you."

"Huh?" Tsunade raised his eyebrows in confusion, then looked at Xia Shu's serious expression, couldn't help but patted him on the head, and said, "What are you talking about, brat? Do you think I'm afraid of the battlefield?"

"Uh...cough cough! Of course not." Xia Shu looked slightly stunned, as if he knew that he had misunderstood the other party just now, coughed twice in embarrassment, and then turned his head away hastily.

"I am Tsunade Hime, one of the Sannin who became famous in the Second Ninja World War. You actually think I will be afraid of fighting." Tsunade rolled his eyes at him, turned his head with a flash of sadness in his eyes, and said, "I It’s just that I don’t want to see so many people die in wars.”

Xia Shu didn't say any more, but she also knew that Tsunade was thinking of the tragic deaths of Kato Dan and Senju Nawaki. It was these two people who were extremely important to Tsunade who died in the war that made her suffer from illness. Hemophobia.

"As long as the five great powers still exist, the war will not end completely." Xia Shu said with emotion.

Hearing this, Tsunade couldn't help looking over again, and said, "You are indeed a subordinate of Danzo, even your thinking is so radical."

"It's not that I'm radical, but that's the truth." Xia Shu shook his head upon hearing this, and said earnestly: "From the Warring States period to the One Village One Country era, it was never pure hatred that inspired wars, but interests."

Tsunade frowned slightly. It's not that she has never heard of such words, but it is unprecedented for someone as young as the boy next to her.

"Interests are the root of the war. Because Konoha is located in the land of fire with the richest resources, it has become the focus of the attacks of the major ninja villages. If it is not for the temptation of interests, why not Iwain, who has a long-standing grudge with Sandin Crossing the border to attack the Land of Winds? Wuyin, who has a blood feud with Yanyin, why didn't he attack Yanyin?" Xia Shu shook his head and sneered: "The one-village-one-country system established by the first generation was indeed applicable to the era when the Warring States ended at that time. The world has completed a gentle transition. However, as the major ninja villages completed their accumulation, wars in the ninja world broke out one after another. Although they no longer fought independently as in the past, they expanded the flames of war to the point that they spread to the entire ninja world. The degree of destruction is undoubtedly even greater than before..."

"Are you questioning the first generation?" Tsunade frowned slightly, dissatisfied.

"Of course not." Natsuki shook his head indifferently, and said, "It's just that the ninja world is not what it used to be... In fact, judging from the current situation, even Konoha, who has the deepest foundation, would not be able to end the one-village-one-country system." Might be done, so unless..."

"Unless what?" Tsunade waved his hand to interrupt the words, amused by Natsuki's words, and sarcastically said mercilessly: "You are just a Konoha jōnin, maybe even Hokage wouldn't even dare to say something like this now." Think, dare to discuss the end of the one-village-one-country system pioneered by the first generation? How ridiculous!"

"Is it ridiculous?" Xia Shu's expression remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "Perhaps when the first generation came up with the idea of ​​ending the troubled times, they also encountered such ridicule."

"Enough!" Tsunade slapped the table and stood up, and shouted in a high voice: "Do you know what you are talking about?!"

"Sorry, my words offended the first generation, but..." Xia Shu raised his head, with a firm light shining in the depths of his eyes, and said: "If there is no such thing that you dare not even think about it, how can you do it? Peace, It has never been a light word, just like the current Ninja world, people die every day... Sorry, I seem to have said too much, too much."

When he said this, he had lowered his head and murmured: "I thought the granddaughter of the first generation might be able to read my thoughts..."

As for this, it is impossible to say any more.

However, the last deep words shocked Tsunade, and she suddenly felt an unprecedented tallness from the young man in front of her.

Even though she could look down at the top of the other person's head, the indescribable feeling made her feel small.
