Naruto: Fox and Cat

On the way back, Wu Cai suddenly remembered something and asked curiously, "Speaking of which, young man, who is that boy with the braided hair?"

Sasuke didn't say anything about her slowness, but just explained calmly, "Nara Shikamaru, I just happened to meet him when I went back to the village to get medicine last time."

"I see." Wu nodded, then looked at him with a slight frown, "But you came back with a lot of injuries last time!"

"Ah, I just went to visit the counselor in the village." Sasuke said calmly, but Shikamaru, who knew about it at that time, did not stop him and instead found a way to send him out of the village. It was strange no matter how you looked at it. .

[Did he know something? ], Sasuke frowned slightly, after all, the lazy-looking guy gave him a lot of antlers generously last time.

"Visited the consultant? Did they die?" Wu asked curiously.

"No, it just gave them nightmares for a few days." Sasuke said calmly, not caring whether the two people's hearts could bear it.

Immediately, he asked worriedly, "Wu, when will brother wake up? It's been nearly a week now."

"Please, don't you think about your brother's physical condition?" Wu rolled her eyes and said angrily, "He will wake up if he lies down for another four or five days, but remember to remind him not to use the Sharingan casually. Power."

"Ah."

"In addition, although the power of Xiang Phosphorus is very useful, the body still needs to be well taken care of." Wu said calmly, then frowned and said, "Also! Remember to remind your brother to take medicine!"

"Huh?" Sasuke was a little confused, "Itachi, brother, he drank obediently before."

"Yes, when you brought it to me before, you would drink it expressionlessly. After others brought it to you, they would secretly pour it away. The reason is that they don't like bitter drinks."

"I understand." Sasuke nodded seriously and made a serious note in his mind, 'Brother hates bitter food'.

"Also, don't allow him to eat sweets." Wu slowly gave her advice as a doctor. Anyway, as long as Sasuke is watching, it will be fine. "There are still many things to pay attention to. I will explain it to you when I return to the base. .”

"it is good."

"What? Sasuke is back???"

A shout of disbelief came from the Hokage's office. In the Hokage's office, only Tsunade, Kakashi and Sakura were here, and the loud roar was made by Sakura.Tsunade and Kakashi both looked at Shikamaru who brought the news back in surprise, a little hard to believe it.

Shikamaru, who had known this for a long time, waited until the sound almost stopped before he calmly put down his hands covering his ears and corrected, "It's not that Sasuke is back, he just came to Konoha with a girl."

After regaining her composure, Tsunade said in a deep voice, "Shikamaru, let's make things clear first."

Shikamaru explained briefly, deftly avoiding anything he shouldn't have said.

Sakura's brows furrowed more and more as she listened. After finally listening patiently, she immediately asked anxiously, "But Shikamaru, how did you meet Sasuke?! Why did Sasuke come back to send a message to you instead of me?! Or Kakashi-sensei?”

"Who knows, maybe I won't interfere with his stay," Shikamaru said. Although Shikamaru was a little surprised, it was not difficult to think of the reason why Sasuke came to him instead of Kakashi and the others.Not to mention that he occasionally extended a helping hand last time, the other reason was that he knew that he wouldn't care whether he stayed or went next.Although he is considered a traitor now, since he has done nothing detrimental to Konoha, he can still turn a blind eye.

Seeing his indifferent attitude, Sakura gritted her teeth angrily, "Why don't you interfere with his whereabouts?! Isn't Sasuke a friend from the same village?!"

"That's what I said, but obviously I can't beat him, right?" Shikamaru knew the difference in strength, so he didn't do anything in vain.

"It's okay to tell us! As long as we see him, we can convince him. Sasuke is obviously outside the village."

"To be honest, Sakura, I don't think you can convince Sasuke. And it's not a good thing if too many people go." Shikamaru said calmly, after all, this is also a fact.If that guy could be persuaded so easily, Naruto wouldn't have to put so much effort into it, and he wouldn't have to drag himself into the water.

Sakura slowly clenched her fists, and then rushed outside, "I want to find him! He must have just left not long ago!"

"The girl you are talking about who can create the smell-eliminating medicine is right next to Sasuke. I don't think there is a way to track their scent or chakra."

Shikamaru's words made Sakura stop suddenly. Only now did she remember that I said that Sasuke was bringing Sakura with him this time.

The hand that gripped the doorknob kept tightening, and then she just opened the door with a sullen face and left quickly.Since Sasuke has only been away for just over an hour, he can be found if he speeds up a bit!

"Sakura!" Kakashi couldn't help but frown, and then looked at Tsunade sitting there.

"Okay, we'll discuss these later." Tsunade said in a deep voice and asked Shikamaru seriously, "Shikamaru, are everything you said true?"

Shikamaru nodded, his face became serious, "Ah, that lady said that Payne is a dead person, and asked us to be careful not to let Naruto see Miss Feng. These two points have already proved many of our guesses. .”

"Is Pain a dead person?" Tsunade frowned slightly, "Is there no more detailed information?"

"No, that's what she said." Shikamaru shook his head, then raised a small white bottle and spoke with gritted teeth, "Then he gave me this thing!"

Kakashi glanced at the unusually familiar thing and couldn't help but laugh a little, "It is indeed Miss Mai's style. Without the bottle, you have to wonder if she is a fake."

"Ah, Kakashi once reported that Sakura Luofeng's sister Sakura Luofeng's personality is to sell aphrodisiacs to people everywhere. It seems to be true." Tsunade nodded, and then continued to the topic, "And From the second information, it seems that something happened to Ying Luofeng in Yuyin Village. That’s why her sister and Sasuke came together to remind us."

Kakashi thought for a while and then asked, "Shikamaru, did you ask about Uchiha Itachi? After all, Sasuke just fought him before, so something must have happened."

"Probably he is still alive, but since he also eliminated several members of [Akatsuki] and fought with Sasuke, it seems that he will not appear again for the time being. Moreover, he might still be alive."

Tsunade frowned slightly, "I have no idea what that man is thinking about."

"But just leave the Uchiha brothers' matters to them." Shikamaru put the bottle in his hand on the desk and asked, "Then Tsunade-sama, what should we do next?"

"In short, let's focus on investigating Payne's matter first. After all, this matter is already urgent. As for Sakura Luofeng, I believe Miss Wu and Sasuke will find a way. After all, if she is controlled by someone, it is very likely that she will Eye Technique, then it can only be left to Sasuke who can use the Sharingan."

"But will Sasuke help?" Kakashi was a little unsure. Although Sasuke was his student, his impression of him still remained when he left Konoha more than three years ago.He couldn't figure out what had become of the boy who was full of hatred at the beginning...

"Yes, Kakashi-sensei." Unexpectedly, Shikamaru smiled firmly, "Although I don't know what that guy has become now, but the last time I saw him, he was so cold and inhumane. The feeling is gone. And I still feel that he is just as unhappy as before."

Seeing Shikamaru's expression, Tsunade couldn't help but smile, "According to what you said, I am more curious about the changes in Uchiha Sasuke. What did Sakura Luofeng do?"

Kakashi also nodded in agreement, "That's right. Since the last time she took Uchiha Itachi away regardless of other people's misunderstandings, we have no news at all. And so many changes have happened suddenly, It really makes people curious about what Miss Feng did.”

After saying that, the two people's eyes moved to Shikamaru's hand. After all, the one who is related to Sakura Luofeng and Sasuke now, besides Naruto, is Shikamaru in Konoha.

In response to their probing glances, Shikamaru simply said, "I don't know what Miss Feng did, but knowing that it is definitely not a bad thing."

Two people with countless experiences just stared at Shikamaru in tacit understanding, saying nothing but giving people pressure silently.

Shikamaru still looked calm, although in his heart he began to want to stab the golden fox that had dragged him into this quagmire.

After Tsunade squinted her eyes and stared at Shikamaru for a while, she said calmly, "Forget it, I'll leave this matter to you, Shikamaru. I believe you do things in a measured way."

"Although I'm a little sad that my students don't come to me as a teacher, maybe it's because of the generation gap between people of different ages..." Kakashi sighed heavily, and then looked at him seriously, "Anyway, I'm begging you, Shikamaru."

Shikamaru nodded solemnly at their trust in him without asking for a reason, "I understand."

"Then you first bring the news to Shizune, and then combined with Jiraiya's code, maybe you can find Pain's identity soon." Tsunade said calmly, seeing Shikamaru nodding and getting ready. On the way out, he quickly added, "Also, take this medicine bottle with you."

Shikamaru's steps froze, and then he could only come back dejectedly and take away the bottle of medicine. He originally thought that this was how he would get rid of this troublesome bottle of medicine...

After Tsunade saw him going out, she whispered, "Kakashi, what do you think?"

"Although there are some things that I still don't understand, the only thing that is clear is that Miss Feng is in danger now."

"It always feels like those young people are planning something when we don't know it."

"But it may be a good thing. After all, if nothing happened, it would be impossible for Sasuke's character to automatically appear around Konoha." Kakashi said lightly, "And more importantly, that guy Naruto has never been around since After he came back last time, he no longer did things impulsively without a chance as before. And after what happened with Jiraiya, he became more and more stable and mature."

"That's right, but judging from the current trend, nothing bad should happen. However, Naruto probably doesn't know that Sakura Luofeng is related to Jiraiya's death, right?"

"No, there are only a few people who know about this. I have already reminded them."

"That's okay." Tsunade tapped her fingers on the desk. Suddenly remembering Sakura's expression before leaving, she immediately said seriously, "Kakashi, you go and talk to Sakura first. I always feel that she will be with Sasuke. I can’t think about it.”

"take things too hard?"

"Well, ever since Sakura saw Sakura Luofeng having contact with the [Akatsuki] member who might be Uchiha Madara, and seeing her rescuing Uchiha Itachi, something was wrong with her whole person. Especially last time When I found out that Sakura Luofeng was related to Jiraiya's death, I felt a faint murderous aura."

Kakashi frowned and immediately thought clearly about what Tsunade wanted to express.Especially after hearing that Sakura Luofeng being controlled by others may be detrimental to Naruto, and coupled with what Tsunade said, the decision Sakura will make can be easily guessed.

"I know, I'll go find her right now." After nodding, Kakashi jumped out of the window and left here.

"Leave it to you, I just hope there won't be any problems with this joint." Tsunade stood up and looked at Konoha outside through the transparent window, and couldn't help but frown slowly.

Thinking of the scene where the blond boy was willing to kneel down to save his beloved and his promise that he would take care of all the mistakes the girl made, and then think of the pink-haired girl just now who wanted to remove all obstacles because of her beloved. Determined, Tsunade felt a headache.
