Naruto is in my heart

It's early spring, and although most of the green flowers and trees planted in Konoha Village are evergreen species, under the bright rays of the rising sun, the sprouts that burst out of the skin look very green.

"Shizune, after a busy period, Konoha Village is now full of vitality. After all, the reconstruction work has been completed."

Tsunade looked out the window at the early morning scenery and couldn't help but stretch.

At this time, Shizune specially made a cup of tea for Tsunade to relieve her fatigue after working all night.

"Tsunade-sama returned to the village and has been paying attention to the restoration and reconstruction of the village. Even the construction of the Hokage Yanyan was delayed. Now the village has returned to its former appearance, which is inseparable from your efforts."

Shizune brought the teacup in front of Tsunade.

"What kind of efforts? Isn't this the result of the joint efforts of the villagers? I'm just talking here, but you keep saying good things about me."

Tsunade took the teacup handed over by Shizune, took a sip, and exhaled slightly.

"Yes, yes, our Hokage is right."

Shizune naturally knows Tsunade's temper, so she will not just say good things to praise Tsunade casually. However, after these few months of busy work, it was not until this morning that the negative impact of the attack on Konoha Village was completely removed from people's mind. The clean streets, tidy houses, and people who gradually got up early appeared on the streets. It was completely different from the scene Tsunade saw when she came back a few months ago.

Shizune has been wandering around with Tsunade since she was a child, and she is regarded as Tsunade's goddaughter. Tsunade is naturally willing to listen to her words of praise, but because of her face, she is thin-skinned after hearing them too much.

"dong dong dong"

"Come in"

There was a knock on the door. It was not yet time to issue a task request during the day. Naturally, there was an emergency, so Shizune directly asked the reporting ninja to come in. If Tsunade usually worked overtime, she would sleep in the office the next morning. , mute will block some unimportant messages, today

"What's the matter?" Tsunade didn't notice the nervous look of the visitor because she was in a very good mood.

"Tsunade-sama, the Suna Ninja Village was attacked. Many Anbu personnel were killed and a student was kidnapped by the enemy. According to the news from the senior management of the Suna Ninja Village, the enemy's target was the Jinchūriki of the Suna Ninja Village, Sandstorm Gaai. Luo"

"Where's the enemy's information?" Tsunade's originally relaxed face turned serious.

"It seems that they are using strange ninja tools. The information of several intruders matches the ninjas of the Artisan Village."

"Yesterday, I sent Kakashi to investigate the Craftsman Village and reported back the news. Didn't it say that the Craftsman Village had been destroyed?"

Shizune immediately found the important records from yesterday's Hokage's office and handed them to Tsunade.

"The Artisan Village Mana is a neutral place that has long provided ordinary ninja tools to the five major countries. Not long ago, there was news from the ANBU that the Artisan Village can forge legendary and dangerous ninja tools, which may threaten the security of the five major nations. We Then I sent Kakashi to investigate carefully, but I didn’t expect that after that, there was no one alive in the village.”

"Then with the current combat power in the village, are there any suitable candidates sent to support the Suna Ninja Village, Tsunade-sama?" Shizune waited for Tsunade to make a decision. After all, the relationship between Konoha and Suna Ninja is gradually getting warmer, especially last time. In the case of Sasuke's defection, he also received support from Suna Ninja Village, and now plans for the long-term merger of the Chunin Examinations of the two villages are also on the agenda.

"The Anbu is not suitable to intervene in this matter. After all, we are not the only ones paying attention to the Artisan Village. We can only send the personnel of the ninja squad to execute it."

Tsunade suddenly remembered that all the jonins were sent out. The jounin who now reported that he had completed the mission was Hatake Kakashi, who was on his way back to the village. Another jonin who might have completed the mission, Metkai

"Shizune, inform Nara Shikamaru and order him to organize a team of existing genin personnel to support the three Suna ninja siblings. The time has come for them to repay their kindness."

Tsunade made this bold decision after thinking about it

"In addition, notify the ANBU outside Konoha. If you see Kakashi or Metkai, convey the Hokage's order to assist Nara Shikamaru's team and carefully handle the subsequent events in the Craftsman Village."

"Understood"

Shizune and the ninja who came in to report immediately went to work in the organization.

"It's hard to relax these days, it's really frustrating." Tsunade picked up the cup she just drank from.

"Whoops!" An ANBU directly under the Hokage landed directly outside Tsunade's window.

"Reporting very urgent information, Hokage-sama, on the border of the Land of Fire yesterday evening."

"Nani"

After Tsunade heard that name, the cup in her hand cracked.

By noon, Jiraiya, who had learned the news yesterday, rushed back from the border.Keita Shisan, who was informed of the news, also rushed back from outside.

"Tsunade-sama, I got it from the ninja hawk in the communications class."

After opening the door, Keita Shisan found that only Tsunade and Jiraiya were standing at the table. In the center of a storage scroll on the table were quietly placed blood-stained ANBU costumes and half a cat's face. mask

"Is it Thirteen?" This was the first time Jiraiya saw him after leaving the village. After all, he was in the same class as Morino Ihiki.

"Jiraiya-sama this"

"I'm sorry for the mission he performed. I'm very sorry." Jiraiya bowed deeply in the middle between the table and Keita Jusan.

Keita Shisan didn't say much, and even though his face was trembling a little, he didn't show an overly sad expression. He walked quietly to the table, picked up the clothes with both hands, and stared at the tatters on it.

"Any clues at the end?"

"Except for the information he protected, he left nothing behind. As you know, he left ANBU's unique technique on his body and the last information was that his psychic beast was delivered to the support team members."

After seven border garrison ANBU arrived at the scene, they thought they would find no trace. They discovered that among the pile of rocks that were gradually melting away the corpses, a mouse crawled out with a special test tube in its mouth and placed it in the hands of the ANBU who came.

"The art of psychic dependence, this kid hahaha"

While Keita Shisan smiled softly, the tears he had tried so hard to lock in his eyes could no longer hold back and flowed down, splashing on the clothes in his hands.

"I see, that's when I noticed the talking panda when I was in a coma." Ming Yin, who was hiding outside the door of the Hokage's office, said with a sullen face.

"Although it's not completely certain yet, according to the information provided by the ANBU who arrived at the time, the enemy's backs are three guys carrying special ninja tools. Combined with the information Jiraiya received from special channels, it has been determined that the three are Kirigakure some time ago. When the coup happened, three of the new Seven Ninja Swordsmen fled from the Kingdom of Water."

Tsunade took over Jiraiya's previous words and analyzed in detail the opponent's possible current position and subsequent arrangements.

"Finally, I must remind you that the Kirigakure coup in the Land of Water is inseparable from Akatsuki's secret operations behind the scenes. These three people may be thugs of the Akatsuki organization. I hope you don't act out of emotion, otherwise Fourteen will pay for it with his life. Intelligence and efforts are wasted.”

Jiraiya took out the special test tube and handed it into Thirteen's hands.

"I have taken away the information. Let me keep this object as a souvenir."

"In addition, pay attention to that little guy during this time. After all, he is his mentor. If he knows, although the kid tries his best to hide his inner feelings and usually has many strange thoughts, I can feel that he is an extremely emotional person. Maybe he is no different from Naruto at heart."

Jiraiya patted Keita Jusan's shoulder and walked out of the door.

"Maybe this time when Naruto comes back, it's time to take him out to experience for a few years. Akatsuki's plan has begun to transition to tailed beasts, and it's becoming more and more unsafe to stay in the village. I hope it's not too late." Jiraiya thought of the big beast again. The Toad Immortal’s prophecy about himself, “The son of prophecy is the one who determines the future of the world.”

In the office, Tsunade continued to talk to Keita Shisan.

"Your brother is one of the subordinates whom the third generation pointed out to me. Although I just found out about it not long ago, from the internal information of ANBU, it can be seen that he is a very good ninja and a subordinate with very high execution ability. Although His funeral cannot be public, but if allowed, I hope I can be there on the day of the funeral."

"I would like to thank you first for my useless brother. Now I have to help him pay off all the store debts."

After saying that, Keita Thirteen rewrapped the relics and left the Hokage's office.

"I didn't expect that the two brothers with the worst relationship in Konoha's reviews would have this kind of hidden concern. This is also a kind of bond between brothers."

The corners of Tsunade's mouth turned up slightly inadvertently, and two lines of clear tears flowed down her fair cheeks.

"Tsunade-sama, there is news from the ninjas outside Konoha"

Just after Keita Shisan left with the relics, Shizune suddenly broke in.

"What's wrong Shizune?" Tsunade secretly wiped the tears from her face before turning around.

"Huhu", Shizune took two breaths, "Tamayama Akira, who was originally going to report on the inspection of the village's defense facilities, somehow appeared in the outer area of ​​Konoha, knocked out two ANBU sentry posts, and then headed towards the border. "

"Did he hear it outside the door when he came to report on work just now?" Tsunade's eyes widened.

"Well, I remember that Keita [-]th did serve as the guiding jounin of Class Zero. How did he pass such a strict sentry?"

Shizune remembered that after the incident of Sasuke's defection, Tsunade redid the patrol route of the peripheral ANBU sentries every three days, and set the switching time to every two hours. If something happened like this, it would be discovered within at least two hours. The news won't be too far apart.Moreover, the current route map was newly issued this morning. There are almost no dead ends on the intersecting patrol routes. It is impossible that the news of leaving is coming just now.

"I'm afraid that guy has to use his original ninjutsu that was banned by my order at the cost of his own body."

Tsunade suddenly realized something, "Block the news and don't pass the news of Tamayama Akira's departure to others, especially Tamayama Snow, otherwise there will be big trouble."

"Then don't you need to send people to chase them back?"

Tsunade thought about it for a while and decided to give up the idea of ​​calling Keita Jusan. After all, losing one person was already a headache. If he went again, he could not guarantee that the person sent would not be incited to rebel. After all, among the personnel left behind by the third generation , the evaluation of Yu Shanming is

"See through all things and understand people's hearts"

Tsunade immediately came to the top of the Hokage building and snapped her fingers in one direction. After a while, a cat-faced ANBU came to Tsunade.

"Tianzang, I can only ask you to take a trip."
