Konoha: Who says that hunters can't play in the ninja world?

Tsunade and his party were ready to return to the village. Because they had completed the expected mission and even received an increase in military funding, which was an unexpected gain, Tsunade was in a good mood and was already planning how to vigorously develop the village after returning.

"Everyone, on the way back to the village, I hope you can show your concentration as if you were on an S-level mission. When we came here, Lady Tsunade was assassinated. On the way back, it is the last chance for those people. They will strike at all costs, so, everyone, show your full strength." Without Shikaku in the team, Kakashi is the only captain. Guarding the Hokage has never been an easy task, especially now.

"Ah~, Kakashi, don't be so nervous, just deal with it normally." Jiraiya saw that Kakashi was a little too vigilant, so he spoke up to calm everyone down.

"The route back to the village is so long. I still say the same thing, put in the energy you would put in an S-level mission. After we return to the village, I'll treat you to a barbecue, Q. But before that, please give it your all." Kakashi's usual life-despairing face and lackluster tone were all restrained, and his tone was unusually serious.

"Hi" xx. Being ignored, Jiraiya touched his nose awkwardly and chose to walk away. His subordinates were working hard, so it was difficult for him to steal the show. In his opinion, with his strength, it would be no problem for him to protect Tsunade.

The team of average strength jonin moved very quickly. Kazama, who was hiding in the middle of the team, was used like a radar, with the perception technique fully activated. Nobuko and Ichiro's two sword perceptions also checked for omissions from time to time, and all the summoned beasts were released. It looked like they were ready to start a battle at any time.

"Aren't you going too far?" Tsunade looked at her nervous subordinates and felt that they were making a big deal out of nothing.

"If Lady Tsunade feels that we have gone too far, there is actually a safer way. It depends on whether you are willing to use it." Kazama didn't want to be so tired. He kept the perception technique on, but it was very tiring.

"What method?" Kakashi responded immediately. Guarding the Hokage was really a job that required one to keep one eye open even when sleeping, and he was not willing to be so serious.

"Reverse Summoning Technique. I think that Tsunade-sama and Jiraiya-sama both have summoning beasts from two of the three holy places. Reverse Summoning Technique is a very easy method. They can directly return to the village through space ninjutsu. I think that even if the Six Paths Sage comes, he probably won't be able to ambush Tsunade-sama." Kazama made a suggestion. The reliability of this suggestion almost made Kakashi agree immediately. It was safe, convenient and fast. Is there a better way than this? No.

But the person involved is Tsunade, a woman with a bold and willful style of doing things. I don't know if Tsunade would agree to such a somewhat shabby way.

"Lady Tsunade?" Everyone looked at Tsunade. Especially Kakashi, he was the captain of this trip. If anything unexpected happened to Tsunade, he, as the captain, could commit suicide to apologize.

"Are you scared?" Tsunade frowned as expected. The worst situation had occurred. Kakashi's mood sank and he considered how to convince Tsunade.

"It is our duty to protect Lady Tsunade, even if it costs our lives, but..." Zao Ma stepped out and took over the conversation.

"It's just that there is a better way, and we hope that Lady Tsunade will adopt it." Asuma continued: "If Lady Tsunade is worried that our escape will be laughed at by the enemy, then Lady Tsunade should use space ninjutsu to return to the village. If you return to the village, we will have no worries and we will have plenty of means to deal with the enemy. Those present are all the elites of Konoha. What they fear is never the enemy, but that our weaknesses will be discovered by the enemy, and they will be afraid to act rashly." The relationship between Asuma and Tsunade can actually be regarded as that of a junior and senior brother.

Among the people present, besides Jiraiya, only Asuma was qualified to say this. The others were subordinates and could not speak so directly.

"Ha, I have become your weakness. Asuma, you are so bold to say that." Tsunade didn't seem angry at all.

"It would be great if I could go back early to soak in the hot springs and drink some wine. Why shouldn't I accept this plan? The reason I ask this is because I need you to help me eliminate the enemies on the way back. They are the strength of those three. In order to fight against those three, the first thing we need to do is to reduce their wings. In order to deal with us, it is useless with fewer people, and with more people, their actions are not secretive enough. Only the real trusted elites are qualified to participate in this battle. So please, help me eliminate them." After saying that, Tsunade bowed deeply.

"So that's what Lady Tsunade planned." Akai realized it later. When it comes to such calculations, Akai always seems a little slow.

"Since it's Lady Tsunade's request, we have to do our best this time." Asuma laughed and his tone returned to being relaxed.

"Yes, Lady Tsunade's request is not common. But what I care about is that if we can handle this time, in addition to completing Lady Tsunade's request, can Kakashi's feast also be realized?" Kurenai Yuhi also helped to drum up support.

"Speaking of this, Kakashi, this miser, has never treated us colleagues to dinner. We can't refuse, so he just treats us to Ichiraku Ramen, and he often doesn't pay..." When Kai said this, so much pain surged in his heart that he couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Huh~, Kakashi, you are such a person." Everyone else looked at Kakashi with disgust, as if they had gotten to know Kakashi again.

Kakashi looked so depressed. What happened? He was just discussing important matters seriously, but in the blink of an eye, he became the target of public criticism and had to pay for a big meal. Is there any room for reasoning?

"Hey, hey, hey, as long as you can come back alive, there will be a feast for you." At this time, Kakashi can't play dead, this is how morale is boosted. Since he has already promised to go out, it is better to avoid breaking his promise, especially when everyone is staring at him.

"Oh, it's rare that Kakashi is so generous. I want an all-you-can-eat barbecue..." Akai was already excited.

"It's really rare," Asuma also sighed.

The others watched the fun with a smile on their faces.

"In that case, I will wait for your good news in Konoha Village. Lord Slug, do you have the coordinates of Konoha Village?" Tsunade asked.

"Of course there is, but we need to return to the Ryuchi Cave first, and then summon back to Konoha Village." The slug on Kazama's shoulder answered decisively after receiving the question. The slug is now the mobile liaison officer between Kazama's summoned beasts. Fortunately, it doesn't take much chakra to maintain a palm-sized slug, otherwise Kazama really can't handle it.

"That's all, everyone. See you in Konoha Village." Tsunade waved her hand, then formed a seal and her body disappeared from the spot, leaving only a white gas that slowly dissipated.
