Naruto: I traveled through time with the Samsara Eye.

No, would you go there in person for such a thing?

Isn't this person fine?

Although he was injured, isn't it common for ninjas to get injured while on a mission?

Who can guarantee that they will not get hurt?

Even Tsunade, a medical ninja, couldn't do it. Tsunade didn't expect that the Third Hokage would be so anxious and wanted to make the trip in person.

"Tsunade."

The Third Hokage looked at her with a somewhat pleading look.

"........"

Tsunade was a little numb to the Third Hokage's move. She felt goosebumps all over her body and waved her hands quickly:

"Okay, old man, stop looking at me like that. It makes me feel uncomfortable. If you want to go, go ahead. I will go to the Hokage's office tomorrow to help with official business until you come back. Okay?"

The Third Hokage knew that Tsunade liked to be lazy, and if he didn't use this method, Tsunade would definitely not be happy to help him.

Even when sitting in the Hokage's office, she would deal with the big things and put the small things aside, waiting for him to come back and figure them out slowly.

This is not what the Third Hokage wanted. He hoped that Konoha would be able to operate normally after he left, including the Hokage's office.

"Well, take the Hokage seal with you. You will need it when handling official business."

The Third Hokage was a decisive man. He directly handed the Hokage seal representing himself to Tsunade.

"........"

I'm speechless. I've brought so much trouble upon myself for no reason.

But the Third Hokage insisted on going to the border camp, what could she do?

You can't just ignore the affairs of the village.

My damn sense of responsibility!!!

Cursing herself for being soft-hearted, Tsunade reluctantly picked up the Hokage seal and left.

After Tsunade left, the Third Hokage also made a series of arrangements. That afternoon, he left the village with the Hokage Guard, some medical ninjas, and various medicines, and headed straight for the front-line camp.

Koharu Utane and En Mitokado were resting in the border camp. He hoped to be of some help to them, and he had some questions that he needed to ask them in person.

The Third Hokage left Konoha.

But Konoha continued to operate as usual. When many ninjas came to the Hokage's office, they were stunned when they saw Tsunade sitting on the Hokage's throne, but they quickly reacted and pretended they knew nothing.

We should do things the same way now as we did before.

Those who need to report should report their work, those who need to arrange tasks should arrange their tasks, and those who need to ask for opinions should ask for opinions.

The Hokage Office Building did not fall into work stagnation or chaos due to the departure of the Third Hokage.

The impact of this incident on Konoha was minimal.

Everything was as usual. Tsunade was able to keep the situation under control. Her sitting in the Hokage's office would only make people surprised but not arouse any doubts.

It’s just a pity that Tsunade has to work day and night every day.

This is quite painful for her who is a bit lazy.

Fortunately, Nara Shikashin handles the affairs of the Anbu, and Tsunade only needs to inspect the Anbu base occasionally. If Tsunade is responsible for managing the Anbu as well, she will definitely have a headache.

In today's Konoha, whoever sits in the Hokage's office will be responsible for the management of departments such as logistics and medical care.

This job is not easy.

When the second day's work ended, it was already late at night. Tsunade, who was dragging her tired body away, was almost crying.

"Old man, old man, when will you come back? The village cannot do without you, so hurry up."

"........"

The members of the Anbu team responsible for protecting Tsunade were all in a daze.

My dear minister, what are you mumbling about?

Pray that Hokage-sama will return to the village soon?

At this moment, the Third Hokage had already arrived at the border camp and successfully met his two old friends, Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En.

"Men Yan, you guys......"

Looking at Mizuto Menen's face which was almost unrecognizable, the Third Hokage took a breath of cold air. The injury was not serious, but it was a blow to his dignity.

"Heh~~ I was injured by the enemy while trying to save Xiaochun, and I couldn't get the best treatment so this happened."

Mitokado En still has a lot of resentment towards Utatane Koharu, and it has not diminished even after returning to the safety of the Land of Fire. On the contrary, after calming down, he hates Utatane Koharu's willfulness and stupidity even more.

Facing Mitomon Yan, who was sarcastically speaking in the conversation, Koharu lowered her head in shame.

"It's my fault. If I hadn't been so willful and angry, we would have been able to return to the village long ago, and Men Yan and I wouldn't have been injured..."

Looking at her bald palms, Koharu Utane felt very regretful.

The palm of her left hand had to be amputated to save her life because there was no cure and the environment in Bear Country was harsh.

Losing a palm is almost the same as having a broken hand.

Looking at the two people who were ashamed and angry, the Third Hokage sighed:

"Tell me, what happened to you along the way that led to this situation today."

The number of times the scroll can be used for communication is limited, and the content that can be recorded in the scroll is also limited. Some things need to be explained orally, which is why the Third Hokage hurried to the border camp.

"What else could have happened? It's all your own fault!!!"

Mizuto Menen smiled self-deprecatingly, but unfortunately the smile made the scar on his face look extremely hideous and scary.

"We entered the Kingdom of Wind smoothly. In order to trap Hyuga Shizuka, Xiaochun and I decided to split up our forces and let Hyuga Shizuka destroy the more difficult and dangerous target."

With no outsiders around, Mitomon Yan spoke these things bluntly.

And we made it clear that our purpose was to trick Hinata Shizuka.

It is not clear whether they cheated the other party, but they were cheated by themselves anyway.

"Our mission started off well, and we destroyed a lot of targets along the way. But as time went on, we were eventually discovered, so the Third Kazekage personally led people to hunt us down, wanting to surround us and completely crush us in the Kingdom of Wind."

"Ah."

The Third Hokage knew all of this because they were still in normal contact when these things happened.

"But everything has changed since we turned to Bear Country!!!"

Mito Kado En's eyes looked as if he wanted to eat Utane Koharu.

"Koharu felt that the mission was not completed successfully. She was afraid of being laughed at by Hyuga Shizuka, so she couldn't swallow this breath. She wanted to take the opportunity to drag the Third Kazekage to the Bear Country and open up a third battlefield. It was at this time that our intelligence ninja in charge of liaison died, and liaison became difficult."

"In the ensuing stalemate, Xiaochun was also injured. In order to hold back the Third Kazekage, we paid a great sacrifice."

"In the end, we didn't get any reinforcements!!! The so-called reinforcements came two days later and killed us!!!"

"Hiruzen, you need to give us an explanation!! Where are the reinforcements!!!"
