Red sand dust

In the Hokage's house, Tsunade was sitting in the office, looking through the bright window at the members of the Suna Ninja Air Combat Force passing through the air and disappearing into the distant sky before pulling down the curtains.

Although the "Quick Rescue Team" has not completed any iconic tasks, some trivial things still require manpower to do.

Basically, everything that is a little more difficult is left to the Iwa ninja. They need to perform the most and not give other villages an excuse to over-squeeze the four-tailed Jinchuuriki Lao Zi.

Most of the people sent by Sunagakure Village are members of the air combat unit. They are extremely high-tech ninjas who are popular in the ninja world. If they need to run errands or have time-sensitive tasks, they are given a lot of rewards.

At this point, other villages are jealous and there is nothing they can do about it. Who can tell them that they are really capable?

In fact, Konoha Village also has a number of well-established air combat teams, but there is still a big gap between them and the Suna Ninja, and their competitiveness is still far inferior.

This attack was to respond to the fleet that was attacked by giant sea beasts in the Eastern Ocean and lost power and was on the verge of despair.

In previous missions like this, when the ninjas arrived, the objects that needed to be saved were basically out of the cold. Only the ultra-high-mobile ninjas galloping in the sky had a chance to complete the mission.

If we can't catch up in this regard in the future, it will be impossible to compete with the Suna Ninja in many similar urgent tasks.

This is a crushing blow in a realistic sense. It is not that it cannot compete, but that it has been eliminated from the source.

Therefore, Tsunade would rather pay the price in advance to win over Sunagakure Village and form an air combat force for Konoha Village.

It's not enough to fight in a small way, but to become a truly large-scale and combat-effective ninja army.

Looking at the delivery note that had just been sent from Sunagakure Village in his hand, the fifth generation of Hokage couldn't help but tremble in his hands.

"The price is really not subtle at all!" 』

Tsunade, who felt a little regretful and helpless, naturally understood that if she couldn't use her own skills, she would have to be willing to be slaughtered if she wanted to ask for help from others.

The Suna Ninja's quotation was actually very sincere. I heard that the Tsuchikage and Raikage were so angry that they smashed up the office after seeing the price given by the Suna Ninja.

During this period after the year, Konoha Village ordered a total of more than 60 wing armors from Sunagakure Village, of which 35 were standard models and 15 were specially customized.

Forget about the former, the price is clearly marked, no kidding; the key is customization, even the Hokage, who doesn't care about details, knows that it is definitely not cheap.

If the former Konoha Village can barely imitate a few of them regardless of the cost, then it will be completely incapable of manufacturing the latter customized models.

In addition, there are ten more jointly developed engineering machines that will be distributed to various departments or ninja clans in the future for use in testing experiments.

This kind of expense is even more staggering. The nominal joint development is actually Konoha Village spending money to learn technology, just to look good.

Tsunade also understands this. Money is spent, but the result cannot be guaranteed. The final result depends entirely on the Suna Ninja's "conscience" and how much "dry stuff" he is willing to put out. In addition, it also depends on the comprehension ability of the Konoha ninja. The Suna ninja finally let go of learning. If he can't learn it, it will be in vain.

For this "cooperation" with an unprecedented scale and a shocking transaction amount, Konoha Village also followed the example of Sunagakure Village, and exchange students composed of ninja school graduates and failed apprentices went to Sunagakure Village for internships, that is, Learn how to operate wingsuit armor and lay the foundation for future large-scale selection.

This kind of incidental experience, which is similar to being a "commissioned student", is definitely not free. It has to be paid by the Leaf Village, and it is a lot of money.

No matter how distressed she was, Tsunade knew that she had to spend what she needed.

Sometimes, you are lucky to be able to buy it with money. Fortunately, Sunagakure Village and Konoha Village are allies. The Tsuchikage Sandaime was so anxious that he had no way to buy it with money!

Such a comparison made Tsunade's heart feel a little more balanced.

In addition to the money thing that makes people anxious, there is another thing that makes Tsunade a little unsure.

Pressed at the bottom, the letter of help from Kirigakure Village was really troublesome.

I don’t know what the mysterious Kirigakure Village is now, but Mizukage Fifth Generation Terumi Mei actually wrote to Tsunade, asking for the "Rescue Team" to help find the missing three-tails of Kirigakure Village.

The previous three-tailed Jinchuuriki was the Fourth Mizukage Yagura, and Tsunade knew that.

After the fifth generation of Teru Mimei came to power after a successful coup, Yagura committed suicide in shame.

These are all information that has been circulated and are highly credible.

But what makes people confused is why Terumi Mei, who already had control of the overall situation, didn't pull away the tailed beasts, but let Yagura commit suicide, causing the three tails to be implicated and disappeared?

It's not too late to commit suicide after settling the tailed beast. The fourth generation of Naruto, Namikaze Minato, and his wife, Kushina Uzumaki, also settled their son and entrusted it to the third generation of Naruto, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and "cooked" the Kyuubi for a while. dead.

"Three tails are missing, and we have to seek help from other villages to find them. It's really..."

Tsunade had a headache. After pressing her forehead, she said to Shizune who was waiting for instructions,

"Leave it to Kakashi and ask him to send out people to search. Regardless of whether he can find it or not, at least show some dedication..."

"knew!"

The conscientious secretary promised.

The "Quick Rescue Team" was originally established to solve the troubles caused by tailed beasts and jinchūriki. Terumi Mei's commission was just within the scope of its promised services. What's more, Kirigakure Village also paid for the task, even if Not too much, but not shabby either.

The deposit has been paid in advance. If we refuse, the purpose of the "Rescue Team" will be gone.

"By the way, Danzo's request to send people to participate in the operation is approved! Also, let Tenzo go and handle external affairs..."

Mu Dun is still very powerful in suppressing tailed beasts, and having him there makes people feel more at ease.

At this moment, an ANBU suddenly appeared. After presenting the information, he quickly disappeared.

Tsunade, who was not surprised at all, looked at the documents in hand and frowned gradually.

"What's wrong, Tsunade-sama!"

Shizune asked cautiously to her boss who seemed to be in a bad mood.

"Test report, about Daimaru's blood sample!"

"There is such a secret test? 』

Although she was surprised, Shizune didn't ask.

After reading the report several times, Tsunade became more and more confused.

"There is no blood connection with the Senju family, and it is not even related to the existing families in Konoha Village!" However, the traces of the Mudun Blood Succession Boundary have been confirmed to be real..."

Apart from Wind Escape and Yin Escape, Magnetic Escape and Wood Escape are more obvious, but they are not derived from blood.

In addition, the most surprising and reasonable thing is that it can be clearly understood from the affinity of natural energy and the vitality of cells...

"Sunagakure Village has definitely mastered the Sage Mode!" 』
