Please answer Naruto

News that Sasuke killed Orochimaru reached Konoha.

In the Hokage's office, Tsunade sat sullenly behind a pile of documents, tapping her fingers on the table, frowning and thinking about something.

Shizune stood aside and calmly arranged the pieces of information.

"The potential of that Uchiha boy is really scary." There was another person in the office, Jiraiya who was staying in the village, leaning against the wall on one side and said with emotion.

"Hmm." Tsunade stared at the desk and seemed to be speechless.

The death news described in the intelligence is like the obituary of a former friend. Although the companion has long since parted ways on the opposite side, they were once Sannin, which can't help but feel complicated.

"Destroyed on the road to eternal life..."

They still have a lot to do. Putting aside unnecessary emotions, Jiraiya said: "Tsunade, how are you going to deal with it?"

He walked over and flipped through the pile of information compiled by Shizune. It was obvious that this matter would trigger many aspects. Because of the powerful destructive power contained in it, Konoha could not sit idly by.

Tsunade rubbed her eyebrows and said, "Sasuke will look for Uchiha Itachi next."

"Haha, of course...well, the north, the south...it is said that traces of suspected Sasuke have been found in many places." Jiraiya looked at it, "The other party swallowed Orochimaru, and he inherited it in disguise. Inheritance, calmly wander around many secret places first...it seems that you have found some helpers."

"Finally towards the north of the Country of Fire..."

The Country of Fire is located in the center of the continent and has a vast territory. However, since this world is basically at the productivity level of an agricultural society, the population is far away from the capital circle and is far from dense enough. Therefore, even in a wealthy country like the Country of Fire, many places It is also covered by forests and has few villages and towns.

Tsunade thought for a moment and turned around to say something to Shizune when the office door opened.

But it was Naruto who came after hearing the news.

"Grandma Tsunade, did Sasuke kill Orochimaru? Then let's go and bring him back!"

Seven or eight seconds after Naruto rushed in, Kakashi walked in slowly holding a book of Intimate Paradise, "Well, Hokage-sama...Jiraiya-sama is here too, I stopped this kid."

The words are concise, concise and well-founded.

"Hahaha, it seems you have to deal with Naruto first." Jiraiya laughed.

This situation is not surprising anymore, Sasuke, Sasuke, Yubai, teacher, Yubai, teacher kept shouting... Behind Kakashi, Tsunade also saw Sakura carefully looking in through the crack in the door. She sighed.

…

The sky cleared up, but scattered dark clouds continued to drift by quickly or slowly. On this ordinary day, the Hokage's office was a bit lively. The adults stabilized the young boy who had a good heart, but in the face of the progress of the world, they Started preparations accordingly.

Because of Sasuke's whereabouts, looking for Itachi and then facing the entire Akatsuki; Naruto and others want to capture Sasuke, and Naruto is the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, belonging to Akatsuki's target; intelligence shows that Akatsuki is acting everywhere in order to capture the tailed beasts , has approached the territory of the Land of Fire... Due to various factors, Konoha is going to come up with a combat plan.

It would be reckless to attack hastily, but the initial intentions and decisions have already been made. Capture Uchiha Itachi alive to attract Sasuke, and send two teams in terms of numbers.

Mayi learned of the village's intention the next afternoon.

Fighting against Xiao, and brother Yu Bai currently belongs to Xiao. Mayi's heart was once again discouraged by Tsunade not allowing her to join Team 7, and became stronger.

This is in the same category as her intention. Zhenyi had strengthened her faith and did not want to just listen to the news from afar on a good or bad day.

People haven't set off yet, but it must be in the near future, and she is unwilling to miss it.

Sakura said that she would plead with her, but Mayi went alone in the evening. Her troubles should not bother her senior sister.

"Sister Shizune, let me in..."

"No, when Tsunade-sama heard that it was a request to participate in the battle, she said she had nothing to say and asked you to go home."

"I am already a ninja." At the door of a mansion, Mayi begged Shizune, who was wearing a kimono, "The reasonable request does not violate the village's regulations..."

Shizune looked at the sincere girl in front of her and shook her head, "Stupid, Tsunade-sama is the Hokage. You are so determined that you still argue with her."

Zhen Yi just stood at the door, refusing to admit defeat.

The girl's stubborn behavior made Shizune find it difficult to deal with. Ever since Mayi came to study under Tsunade, she could say that she had watched her grow up over the past few years, and she naturally liked her in her heart. However, she couldn't help him with what he asked for this time.

"Tsunade-sama, this is for your own good. Fighting against Akatsuki is a very dangerous mission. The enemy is far stronger than you think. Didn't you look at the black stone monument where we mourned together a few days ago..."

Shizune avoided the dead person and continued, "That happened after the battle with Akatsuki. You did make a lot of progress, and it can even be said that you got Tsunade-sama's true inheritance, but..."

These words sounded familiar to Mayi. When she first proposed it to Teacher Tsunade, the teacher was so understanding and reasonable, but she felt that it shouldn't be the case. She practiced diligently and studied hard, and she overcame some difficulties and bottlenecks one by one until today - if she hadn't missed the deadline, she might have become a chuunin.

After learning so many ninjutsu and completing so many tasks, isn't it just to become a ninja to achieve something? Just like the explanation of the will of fire in the textbook, she became stronger not just for the sake of becoming stronger. Get stronger day by day!

Otherwise, after all the hard work, she is still waiting in place... What is the difference between her now and the weak little girl in the fishing village in the past who could only hide in the hut and cry after her brother's accident?

"My strength is no problem, so is Uzumaki and Uzumaki Naruto. I think I'm stronger than him." Mayi said seriously.

In the barbecue restaurant, the yellow-haired boy talked shamelessly about chasing his companions. Mayi couldn't help but think of that sparkling scene. Their positions were the same.

"I know your performance in class is sometimes better than Sakura..." Shizune was angry and funny, but if it doesn't work, it just won't work.

"Then I will wait here until Tsunade-sensei agrees."

This is the last effort that Zhen Yi feels that she can make.

"..."

Shizune had no choice, seeing that her persuasion was fruitless, she thought that if she left the other party alone, she would give up.

The door is closed.

Zhenyi really waited there, until all the smoke in the village dissipated under the dark sky, and fireflies' lanterns were placed on the streets one after another.

Senior sister Sakura came. She entered the mansion but failed. Shizune led her out and said she was scolded.

Zhenyi waited, standing solemnly in front of the heavy wooden door. The stars were twinkling. Crowds of people outside the intersection passed by one after another. Some people looked at this side curiously and held on for a quarter of an hour at most. Disappeared without interest.

At night, veils are draped, and cheerful voices can be heard from several lively markets. Mayi waited, and Sakura stayed with her until she had to leave after the market closed. The other party also had to prepare for the departure of the mission.

Zhenyi gritted her teeth, but her posture didn't change much. It was late at night, and only the crescent moon was left in the sky, with dark clouds flying by.

Shizune came out to see him several times. She realized such extraordinary determination and left without saying anything like going back.

The difficult part was that it started to rain in the dead of night.

The raindrops grew from small to large, pouring down in a loud patter. Zhenyi's clothes were quickly wet, and the cold water vapor seeped into her skin. She shivered, but she pursed her lips and remained stubborn.

The heavy rain was coming, and Konoha Village, which originally had a lot of noise at night, was completely quiet. The only sound left in the entire street was the dense sound of rain. Water droplets splashed on the ground, repeating the short dance of blooming flowers over and over again.

The door was always closed, and the rain never stopped. It increased and decreased, falling on the ever-shaking shadow in front of the mansion. The two lamps under the eaves illuminated a small area of ​​darkness, and the sound of rain was like a steady stream. The girl was as quiet as the two squatting stone lions at the door.

***

Tsunade admitted that she underestimated her disciple's determination.

On a rainy night, she didn't fall asleep, wondering if she was too arbitrary and had done something wrong.

There is no doubt that Tsunade likes this disciple who has a good personality, great talent, and is almost perfect. At the same time, she also takes care of him as if he is hiding a piece of raw jade, waiting to be polished before he can safely show it to others.

"Squeak——"

Tsunade opened the door, expecting to see an empty street.

It was not the case. The steady rain that had weakened was pouring down tirelessly. The girl squatted on the ground with her legs crossed, her whole body soaked and her head buried deep in her head. When the other party heard the noise, he shook his body and raised his head, his hair sticking tightly to his forehead.

The moment he looked over was unforgettable. Tsunade opened the oil-paper umbrella and walked high up in front of the other party to block the rain.

Looking at it this way, the girl has grown up. Maybe she shouldn't only worry about herself, thinking that she made the right decision considering the other party, but she underestimated the other party's decision.

In fact, what the child said was right. She had the strength to stand alone. Tsunade knew that the belief held by the other party was not weaker than that of Team 7.

"I really thought I was acting in a stage play. I have to wait endlessly in front of the evil-hearted old woman." Tsunade said, "Read less monogatari novels. Also, I'm not that old."

"teacher……"

"Where's your brother?" Tsunade glanced around, a little angry.

Zhenyi sighed, blinked in confusion, and answered honestly, "I told him to go to practice and not come back..."

"Hey, after taking all this into consideration, I really came to practice."

Tsunade took a breath and said, "Okay, let's take a hot bath in the house and change clothes."

"After all, it's hard to go on a mission if you have a cold."

People high and low under oil-paper umbrellas formed a scene of night rain in front of the door.

"You mean..."

"Come in." Tsunade waved in annoyance and turned back.

As for taking some risks... Ninja ninja, in order to protect important people, is not too rare in the history of ninjas.

As a part of the history of ninjas, this is how she came before becoming a Sannin. In this case, Tsunade can only support such a persistent disciple on behalf of the history of ninjas.
