The man standing at the top of the ninja world

After listening to Nagato's words, Tsunade's first reaction was to reject his request.

The target of this mission is a veteran Jonin who has been a ninja for decades and has rich experience. However, Nagato is just a novice who has graduated less than a year ago. It is too dangerous for him to search for the other party's traces alone.

After all, this is just a B-level wanted mission. Even if it fails, it's not a big deal. But if something happens to Nagato, it will be a truly unacceptable loss for the Leaf Village.

Tsunade opened her mouth and was about to say no, but suddenly hesitated.

Nagato cannot always be under the protection of Konoha. The Third Hokage and several advisors spent so many resources to train him in order to allow Konoha to have another powerful person like the first Hokage. Re-conquer the world.

And if you want to become the strongest, talent alone is not enough, you also have to go through a lot of training, and even the test of life and death. Her grandfather Senju Hashirama also grew up little by little in the cruel war. After countless battles, he finally became the invincible ninja god.

In the last finals of the Chuunin Examination, Nagato had already proven that he had a fighting strength comparable to that of a Jonin. According to the intelligence of the Third Hokage, Oshiba Yuki had been seriously injured and his strength was greatly reduced. For Nagato, it was A very suitable opponent.

Of course, this alone was not enough to make Tsunade change her mind. There was another reason why she hesitated.

Because she was the leader of the first team, Tsunade not only knew about the Rinnegan, she also knew a secret, which was told to her by the Third Hokage.

Nagato and Uzumaki Kushina are related to the Samsara Eye and Nine-Tails, which are extremely important to Konoha and are irreplaceable. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of the two of them, whether they are in Konoha Village or out. When performing tasks, there were always two ANBU ninjas beside them to protect them secretly.

And these four Anbu ninjas are all proficient in hidden types of ninjutsu, so the Third Hokage does not have to worry about being discovered by Nagato or Uzumaki Kushina's perception ninjutsu.

Tsunade knew very well that the ANBU ninjas were hiding dozens of meters away behind the four of them. They would only come to the rescue when the first team encountered a huge crisis that she could not solve.

If Nagato alone searches for Oshiba Yuki, even if the latter is seriously injured, there is still a high risk of failure, but with the addition of two ANBU jounin, it is different. In this case, even if Nagato is seriously injured, Even if Men really met Ochai Yonghui and fought with him, he would not have encountered real life danger.

Moreover, the process of searching for Oshiba Yuki can also increase Nagato's ninja experience. In this case, it might as well take this opportunity to let him exercise.

Thinking of this, Tsunade changed her original idea and nodded to Nagato, "Okay, Nagato, what you said makes sense. The efficiency of four people acting together is indeed a bit low. Since this is the case, let's act separately. ."

"But Nagato, you have to remember that compared with completing the mission, your own safety comes first, so you must be more vigilant when acting alone, and if you really find Oshiba Yuki, don't If you act rashly, it’s best to inform us first.”

"In addition, in three hours, regardless of whether we find any trace of Dachai Yonghui, we have to come back here to rendezvous."

Nagato nodded solemnly, "Yes, I understand."

"Tsunade-sensei." Uzumaki Kushina standing next to Nagato blinked, looked at Tsunade, and said: "I also want to search for Oshiba Yuki alone like Nagato did. We can divide into three groups and search like this The speed is even faster.”

Although she knew that she was far behind Nagato in terms of strength, Uzumaki Kushina never gave up the idea of ​​overtaking Nagato, so in order not to lose to Nagato, she also made the same request.

"No." Tsunade did not hesitate this time and decisively rejected Uzumaki Kushina.

"why"

With a speechless expression on her face, Tsunade stretched out her hand and tapped Kushina Uzumaki's head lightly, "Kushina, don't forget, only you and Nagato here can sense ninjutsu. If you go alone, If we act, Zhao and I will become blind, so you must act with us."

"Well, that's it, okay then." Uzumaki Kushina nodded angrily.

Tsunade looked around and found that she and others were currently standing in the center of Blazing City. She thought for a few seconds and said, "Kushina, Zhao, let's search the northern part of Blazing City, Nagato, and the southern part." give it to you."

"No problem." Nagato nodded again.

Watching Tsunade and the three of them walk away, Nagato turned around and opened his mind's eye again, and dozens of chakra auras appeared in his perception.

Except for the three Tsunade people who have not yet stepped out of the range of perception, most of these breaths are very unfamiliar to Nagato, but there are two that are different. Not far behind him, there are two that are very familiar to him. Chakra breath.

This is the aura of the ANBU ninjas who have been following him to monitor and protect him. More than half a year ago, when he left Konoha for the first time to complete his mission, these ANBU ninjas also followed him out, and they were not absent from every subsequent mission. .

Nagato himself was not very surprised by this. When he was in Konoha Village, the Third Hokage couldn't trust him, so he had to send ANBU ninjas to follow him. After he came out of Konoha, it was even less likely that he would be reassured, so these ANBU There’s nothing surprising about following him out.

According to his guess, these ANBU ninjas who secretly protected him and Uzumaki Kushina should have specially learned the ninjutsu of concealing their aura, which can block the detection of ninjutsu.

The reason why Nagato had such an idea was because of Uzumaki Kushina. Uzumaki Kushina and the perception ninjutsu he learned were the same as the mind's eye, but he had never found any trace of these ANBU ninjas around him.

Uzumaki Kushina is only a ten-year-old child, and it is impossible to deliberately disguise like Nagato, so the only explanation is that she really knows nothing about these ANBU ninjas.

And this can also explain why the Third Hokage knew that Nagato had learned the sensory ninjutsu, but was not worried at all that he would detect the monitor around him.

But what the Third Hokage didn't know was that these ANBU ninjas could not hide from Nagato's perception.

It is true that these ANBU ninjas cannot be sensed by the simple mind's eye, but Nagato's mind's eye, like his other ninjutsu, is greatly strengthened by the samsara eye. Both the perception range and the intensity of perception far exceed B-level ninjas. The limit of his technique, but he is usually not satisfied with showing it.

After being strengthened by the Samsara Eye, Nagato's spiritual eye has cracked the ANBU's concealment techniques and detected their traces.

At the same time, Nagato also knew one thing. In addition to these two ANBU ninjas, there were other monitors around him, and that was the White Zetsu who were responsible for collecting intelligence under Madara Uchiha.
