After traveling through time, I became friends with Tsunade

"Yusuke, you've done well enough. If you're tired, go to sleep."

"Ok!"

Seeing that Hatake Sakumo caught him, Yusuke could finally lie down with peace of mind.

The moment he finished speaking, he lost consciousness.

"Where's the medical ninja?"

Hatake Sakumo picked up Yusuke and returned to the remaining team, shouting. At this time, a medical ninja of the Jonin level hurried over to check Yusuke's body.

"how's it going?"

Others also rushed over and asked.

"Master Yusuke is fine, he's just overdrawn and needs to rest."

After the examination, the medical ninja breathed a sigh of relief. The others were also relieved.

"Shikama, arrange two teams, and you lead them to escort Yusuke back to the camp. Also, after returning to the camp, dispatch more people. The camp is guarded by Tsunade, and the Sand Ninja cannot withdraw personnel to attack the camp now.

The rest of you, follow me to chase the Sand Ninja! While Chiyo's strength is damaged, let's see if we can drive them back to the Kingdom of Wind in one fell swoop!"

After confirming that Yusuke was safe, Hatake Sakumo finally felt relieved. He immediately gave orders to the people around him.

Afterwards, he released his clone and took the lead with the remaining team, chasing in the direction where the Sand Ninja fled.

In the Konoha camp, since Konoha did not put all its efforts into this battle, many people were still left in the camp. When they saw Nara Shikama with a group of people and the unconscious Yusuke, they immediately rushed over to inquire about the situation.

"Lord Shikama, what happened to Lord Yusuke?"

"Yusuke defeated the Sand Ninja Chiyo, and now he is exhausted and needs to rest!"

Nara Shikama smiled as if he had defeated Chiyo. Ignoring the shocked looks of others, he first had the team send Yusuke to the medical department, and then gave the order to assemble and prepare for the final battle with the Sand Ninja.

Medical Department.

"Tsunade-sama, Yusuke-sama has been carried in again."

After a ninja from the medical department learned about the situation, he immediately reported it to Tsunade.

"What happened? Is he hurt?"

Tsunade heard the news and immediately put down her work. Aren't they still fighting against the Sand Ninja? Why did they come back so soon? How was the battle going? Tsunade was full of questions and she quickly ran to Yusuke's bed.

"How is this going?"

Tsunade asked hurriedly as she watched the ninja who was treating Yusuke walk out of the ward.

"Master Yusuke fell into a coma due to excessive physical exhaustion. I have already injected him with a lot of medicine, and we need to wait for him to recover on his own."

Excessive consumption of physical strength? Tsunade immediately thought of the Eight Gates that Yusuke used yesterday. It seemed that he used it again on the battlefield.

Tsunade looked at Yusuke lying on the hospital bed with a look of disappointment on her face. Looking at his peaceful face in his sleep, she sighed helplessly.

Then he waved over a ninja who had escorted Yusuke back and asked, "How was the battle going? Why was Yusuke carried back?"

"Lady Tsunade, the Sand Ninja are now in full retreat, and Lord Sakumo is leading the troops in pursuit."

The ninja replied excitedly.

"Why so fast? Where's that old woman Chiyo?"

Tsunade was surprised. She had fought with Chiyo many times and knew Chiyo's strength, so she couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"Master Yusuke defeated Chiyo of the Sand Ninja, which led to the withdrawal of the Sand Ninja."

"Can you say that again?"

Tsunade couldn't believe what she heard, she thought she must have heard it wrong. Until the ninja repeated it again.

"Tell me the whole battle process in detail."

"Yes!"

……

Konoha Village.

Hokage's office building.

Tuk-tuk-tuk!

After completing the mission, Yuhi Shinku finally returned to Konoha. After dismissing the team members, he picked up the mission report and came to the Hokage Building.

"Lord Hokage!"

After opening the door, Yuhi Shinku saluted Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"You're finally back, Hong."

Seeing Yuhi Shinku, Sarutobi Hiruzen put down the documents in his hand and a smile appeared on his face.

"Yes, the escort mission is completed. I just returned to the village today."

Yuhi Shinku put down the scroll in her hand and prepared to leave.

"Wait, tell me about the mission."

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had been looking at documents all day, stood up, pointed to the area next to him, and said to Yuhi Shinku.

"OK……"

Yuhi Shinku looked at the scroll on the table helplessly, then followed Sarutobi Hiruzen to the reception area.

……

"This is what happened. We rested and recuperated at the front for a while, and only returned to the village after confirming that everyone was safe. Since some personnel were not suitable for long-distance travel, we returned a little late."

After Yuhi Shinku finished speaking, he finally drank the first sip of tea despite being thirsty. During the whole process, Sarutobi Hiruzen remained silent, smoking his pipe, sometimes frowning, sometimes relaxed, and sometimes pleased.

"Do you think this is a coincidence or did someone in Konoha leak the secret?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's words were like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, and Yuhi Shinku stood up excitedly.

"Hokage-sama, are you suspicious of anyone?"

"Hehehe!" Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes and looked at him, "Do you think I would doubt my own disciple?"

"how do you know?"

Yuhi Shinku was halfway through her words when she suddenly covered her mouth and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen in shock.

"Hahaha, don't be nervous. Before you returned to the village, I had already received an emergency contact document sent to me by Sakumo, which just mentioned the reason why Shikama suspected Yusuke."

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up, patted Yuhi Shinku's shoulder, and motioned him to continue sitting down.

"Do you think it's credible?"

After Yuhi Shinku sat down, he suddenly found that he could not see through Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Shikama has this kind of personality, and you know him well. Because of his personality, there are almost no spies infiltrating the front lines. He remembers every ninja on the front lines clearly, and this is also his advantage."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Yuhi Shinku, who rarely lost her composure in front of him, and said with emotion, "I didn't expect that the bond between you and Yusuke would be so deep after just one mission."

"Because he is my most respected junior, I will never believe Lu Zhen's guess."

Yuhi Shinku said with a serious face. Sarutobi Hiruzen just stared at him, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"A few days ago, the village caught a Sand Ninja spy."

Changing the subject, Sarutobi Hiruzen said to Yuhi Shinku while making tea: "The interrogation department has obtained relevant information from his brain, including how he passed on the intelligence of your escort team."

When Yuhi Shinku heard that the spy had been caught, his eyes were slightly red. Although he was not very familiar with those sacrificed ninjas, he might not even have spoken a few words to them.

However, he was the one leading the escort mission this time, and he felt extremely guilty about the casualties. At this moment, he wanted to kill the spy immediately to avenge his dead companion.

"Lord Hokage, there is an urgent report from the front!"
