Naruto Neji: I can see chakra!

There simply aren't enough people.

There are no surplus personnel to be deployed in various positions, which is just as Tsunade expressed, except for the minimum number of jonin and other ninjas in Konoha Village, all ninjas like Might Guy have been sent out to perform tasks.

There is no mobile force available in the village. Otherwise, if a mere Uchiha Sasuke runs away, we can just send a random senior ninja to catch him.

You know, Kakashi Hatake has been cured.

When Neji Hyuga followed Izumo Kamijou to the Hokage's office, he found that there were only a few people in the huge office.

Tsunade sat behind the desk with a tired look on her face, the Hokage's hat placed on the table.

Gang Zitie and Shen Yue Chu Yun stood by.

And the only subordinate in the field below was the pineapple-headed Nara Shikamaru.

Seeing this, Hyuga Neji came back to his senses and had an idea of ​​what was about to happen.

"Hey, Shikamaru--" Hyuga Neji greeted the pineapple-headed guy with a smile.

Hearing someone calling him, Nara Shikamaru turned around in surprise. After seeing Hyuga Neji, his expression changed.

I used to look troubled and have a headache, but suddenly I felt a lot more relaxed.

His face relaxed as Nara Shikamaru smiled and replied, "Oh! That's great, Neji, you weren't sent out of the village on a mission. I think the Hokage is very wise."

Tsunade also nodded with a smile, then leaned back. Under the vibration, two huge waves surged and attracted people's attention.

This made Gang Zitie and Shen Yue Chu Yun, who were standing by, blush instantly and stare at the door, as if the mottled patterns on the wooden door opposite them concealed some mysterious ultimate ninjutsu.

Tsunade didn't take it seriously because she is a carefree person. Besides, she was born like this, so isn't a good figure meant for people to see?

So it doesn’t hurt to take a look.

Moreover, due to her powerful strength and high prestige, and her magnanimous personality, no man has ever had any disrespectful thoughts towards her, and they all have more thoughts of admiration for her.

Although Tsunade looks like a 20-year-old girl now, she is actually the same age as Jiraiya, and is already in her 50s.

So it is normal to call Tsunade grandma.

So Hyuga Neji pretended to be confused and looked at the Fifth Hokage Tsunade who was behind the desk.

After all, logically speaking, Hyuga Neji didn't know that Uchiha Sasuke had defected from the village.

Tsunade didn't keep the suspense, because every minute of delay now - well, it wasn't that urgent.

Anyway, the longer the delay is, the more likely Uchiha Sasuke is to run across the border. If he runs across the border, it will be difficult to hunt him down because Konoha Village has always advocated its upright style of having a reason and a legitimate reason for everything.

We can't just send ninjas across the border into other countries, right?

This will cause diplomatic conflicts and damage its international image.

"Uchiha Sasuke has been bewitched and deceived by Orochimaru, and has now defected from the village. I need you, Neji, and Shikamaru to go with him to bring Uchiha Sasuke back. Shikamaru's intelligent brain is what we need, so let him make the overall arrangements, so you have to protect the safety of the rest of our companions."

Hinata Ning said solemnly, "I will make sure all my companions who went out to fight return safely."

pat-

Looking at the backs of Hyuga Neji and Nara Shikamaru who quickly walked out of the room, closed the office door and went to search for members of the team, Tsunade's eyes were wandering, and no one knew what they were thinking.

Nara Shikamaru took Hyuga Neji around the village within 30 minutes, and finally gathered Uzumaki Naruto, Akimichi Chouji and Inuzuka Kiba as team members at the gate of Konoha Village.

"What? I still can't believe it. How could this kid Sasuke defect from the village? He is already so strong, why does he still need Orochimaru to give him strength or something?" Uzumaki Naruto looked confused.

Unlike in the original film, he didn't yell.

Because in the original work, Uzumaki Naruto was just a loser in the class at the beginning who had no one to teach him well and had poor strength. He was almost at the bottom of the class. It was only after he went through a series of battles that he was able to grow rapidly and gain the strength to compete with Uchiha Sasuke.

In this situation, Uzumaki Naruto naturally wanted to prove himself in front of the genius Uchiha Sasuke, even a loser could be stronger than a genius.

But this is what happened in the original time and space. However, in the current world, Uzumaki Naruto was influenced by Hyuga Neji at a very young age and was supported by the Hyuga clan, so his growth was relatively smooth. From the beginning, he was much stronger than Uchiha Sasuke in school.

Although Uzumaki Naruto doesn't like Haruno Sakura now, and only likes the well-behaved, cute, quiet and powerful Hyuga Hinata, the Team 7 composed of Haruno Sakura, Uchiha Sasuke and Hatake Kakashi does occupy a considerable place in his heart, and he has forged a deeper friendship with Uchiha Sasuke.

Although it is not as corny as in the original work, Uzumaki Naruto is now very sad and angry about Uchiha Sasuke's defection.

As the teams work together to carry out missions one after another, the bond formed between Team 7 is as strong and tenacious as in the original story.

"Well, maybe he has his own ideas. Although I don't like his cocky look, he is a member of our Konoha Village and a ninja of our Konoha Village. Lady Tsunade has already said that Orochimaru is only based on Uchiha Sasuke's Blood Limit Sharingan. He may want Uchiha Sasuke's life. So no matter what, we have to stop him from going astray and let him return to the village safely. This is our most important goal."

Nara Shikamaru took out a piece of paper and a pen, then squatted down and kept drawing up and down on the ground.

"Some of our stronger ninjas, including most of the jonin and chunin, have been sent out to perform various missions. So I didn't look for the unfamiliar ninjas who were still staying in the village, because I'm not familiar with them and it will affect my next arrangements. We have all lived and fought together, so we may not be the best in terms of strength, but when we are combined, our role is the greatest."

Looking around, Uzumaki Naruto, Akimichi Chouji, Inuzuka Kiba, and Hyuga Neji all nodded in approval. So Nara Shikamaru quietly encouraged everyone and continued to talk about the actual marching arrangements.
