Konoha: Otsutsuki from the Earth

"What do you want from me?"

In the conference room of the Hokage Building, Tsunade leaned on the sofa carelessly and looked at the two elders in front of her who took the initiative to come to her and asked.

"We are here mainly for Naruto's affairs this time."

"We believe that Naruto, as a Jinchuuriki, can no longer perform any tasks related to Akatsuki in the future, and that a four-person team with Naruto as the center should be reorganized to monitor and protect Naruto."

Sitting opposite Tsunade, two aging elders of Konoha - Mizutotoro and Koharu who had transferred to the dormitory - put forward their goals straight to the point.

Tsunade just listened for a while and then said bluntly: "I refuse!"

"Why, don't you know the importance of Naruto? He is no longer a child, and it is impossible to let him do whatever he wants."

"What if Naruto is caught by the Akatsuki organization for leaving the village, can you bear the consequences?"

Facing the questioning of the two elders, Tsunade explained with firm eyes: "Naruto is a person who may become the mainstay of the village in the future, how can he be locked up in the village all the time.

"Furthermore, in the incident at Sunagakure Village, Gaara, as the Kazekage, was plotted by the Akatsuki organization even though he was in the core safety zone of the village, and he almost lost his life in the end.

"So, letting Naruto stay in the village will make the village a target of attacks by the Akatsuki organization. Only by continuing to perform tasks can the Akatsuki organization be unable to grasp Naruto's specific movements.

"Finally, I believe Naruto will not die."

In Tsunade's mind, she recalled the bet that Naruto had made with her and won the necklace from her, the necklace that symbolized the dream of the broken and rope tree.

"But you still can't guarantee the serious consequences it will have on Konoha when Naruto fails."

"If you make such a hasty decision, can you still be called Hokage?"

Facing Tsunade's explanation, the two elders did not accept it very much and remained aggressive.

Tsunade was not angry about this, but smiled and said: "Humph~ I knew you would say this a long time ago, so isn't Team 7 short of a man now? I already have a safe candidate."

"You mean?"

"Fly together."

After hearing Tsunade's arrangement, the two elders became a little uneasy and asked directly: "Are you crazy? If Qi Fei is sent out, who will guarantee the safety of Konoha?"

"But isn't Qi Fei's strength the best candidate to ensure Naruto's safety?"

"What about the third class? Isn't Qi Fei originally a member of the third class?"

"It's the break time of the third class recently, and Qi Fei only participates in Akatsuki-related tasks with Naruto to ensure Naruto's safety. Isn't this okay?"

Tsunade sat up straight and added seriously: "And Qi Fei still has the same powerful Wood Release Blood Sequence Limit as his grandfather. Even if Naruto can't suppress the seal of the Nine-Tails, there will be no problem with Qi Fei here.

"

"That's it..." The two elders couldn't say anything else about Tsunade's choice.

Of course they knew "Qi Fei", Tsunade's new apprentice. The strength Qi Fei showed also surprised them. It can be said that he is an all-round and perfect ninja with no shortcomings.

Because of this, if it weren't for Qi Fei's refusal and Tsunade's insistence, the two elders would have even wanted to let Qi Fei enter the ANBU directly and then train him as the successor of Hokage.

Although they failed, they still had high hopes for Qi Fei, treating him as the village's insurance and trump card.

As for the issues of loyalty and recognition, the two elders are not worried because they know that Qi Fei's ability to pass Tsunade's assessment is a complete guarantee in itself.

Now that the reasons and arrangements given by Tsunade were impeccable, the words they had originally prepared were stuck in their throats.

But when they thought of the arrangement they had negotiated with Danzo before, they had to say: "Then if Qi Fei and Naruto's failure causes disaster and loss to Konoha Village, can you bear this responsibility?"

"Furthermore, Qi Fei is a member of the third class. Even if he becomes an elite Jonin, he has never left that class. It is difficult to determine whether he will obey this arrangement."

"You don't have to worry about Qi Fei, I will tell him personally." Tsunade replied seriously, "If Konoha is really in trouble because of the problems between the two of them, as the Hokage, I will definitely risk my life to protect him.

All of this!"

This time, the two elders have confirmed Tsunade's determination to force Qi Fei into Team 7, and it is no longer possible to find someone to replace Qi Fei.

The two of them turned their heads and said, "I remember Qi Fei and Haruno Sakura are both medical ninjas. Wouldn't it be too useless to have two medical ninjas in the same class? I propose to replace Haruno Sakura."

"Are you kidding! Naruto, Sakura and Sakura are the core members of Team 7. If you replace one of them, what would you call Team 7?" Tsunade immediately objected.

By this time, Tsunade also realized that something was wrong. The intentions of the two elders were too obvious. They clearly wanted to force a member into Team 7.

"Why are they so obsessed with arranging vacancies in Class 7, but do they have any suitable candidates? No, they don't, but one person does..."

No matter what, Tsunade decided to oppose it to the end. She was not sure what the two people's plans were, but instead of cautiously paying attention to each other's intentions, it would be better to arrange it with someone she was familiar with and take the initiative in her hands.

What's more, there is no more suitable candidate in Konoha than Qi Fei, and Tsunade feels that her arrangement is impeccable.

"Well, since you have given your guarantee as Hokage, we will not interfere with your decision anymore."

"But Qi Fei is only a temporary arrangement for this task after all. In the future, other candidates will be needed for the vacancies in Class 7. Let's discuss suitable candidates at that time."

Seeing that there was no way to change Tsunade's arrangement, Mito Kaden and Koharu had no choice but to get up and leave.

Although I'm sorry for Danzo, they have tried their best. There really is no better choice than Qi Fei.

After glancing at the two elders leaving, Tsunade sat on the sofa and meditated.

As the two of them said, Qi Fei's arrangement is only temporary, and the vacancies for Class 7 will definitely have to be searched again in the future.

And she couldn't force Qi Fei to stay in Class 7 all the time. Qi Fei would definitely not accept it without mentioning Naruto and the others.

"Forget it, let's deal with the matters related to the Akatsuki organization first..."

There were too many things, so Tsunade decided to take it one step at a time. She asked Shizune beside her: "Has the torture department gained anything?"

"Yes!" Shizune immediately looked through the documents and replied, "I haven't received a reply from the Torture Department yet, so I guess there hasn't been any real progress."

"Really, let them hurry up." Tsunade stood up and said, "By the way, I will inform Qi Fei to come to the Hokage's office to find me."

"yes!"
