Starting from traveling through Naruto, who says archers are weak

Although they were also worried about Kakuzu, at least they knew what Hidan was doing.

Things had to be done step by step.

Tsunade quickly sent Konoha's intelligence department to search for information about the Akatsuki organization.

Then she used encryption to pass the same message to Jiraiya.

Next, it was time to hold Asuma's funeral.

The Sarutobi family had a really bad time recently.

A few years ago, the Hokage and clan leader Sarutobi Hiruzen just passed away.

Now his son has followed in his footsteps.

They have been able to develop to where they are now all because of Sarutobi Hiruzen's selfishness and opening the door to convenience.

Originally, when the third generation died, they still had Asuma, an elite jonin, to support them.

At least they would not be without a say. But now even Asuma has died in battle.

There is no strong man in their family who can show off.

The only child left in Sarutobi Hiruzen's line is Konohamaru.

The white-haired old man who came to the office this morning is the current chief elder of the Sarutobi family.

Originally, Tsunade did not make things too difficult for the teacher's family after the death of the third generation.

Even when the power recovery plan was implemented, they helped, even though they were on the same front as Danzo at the time.

However, this chief elder is really confused and does not remember the old friendship.

He was even easily instigated by Koharu to ask Tsunade for benefits.

He completely used Asuma's death as a bargaining chip to gain more benefits for them.

So Tsunade was so angry early in the morning.

After announcing the date of the funeral, Kakashi and others left.

On the way back, Shikamaru walked side by side with July.

"July, do you know what the 'jade' in the village refers to?"

Shikamaru asked a question inexplicably. Then he talked about it without waiting for July to answer.

"Asuma has never beaten me in shogi."

"Once, after he lost, he asked me a question."

"He asked me what the 'Jade General' would mean if shogi was brought to the village level?"

"He didn't let me answer immediately, but asked me to think about it carefully before telling him."

"But no matter how hard I thought about it, I couldn't understand what Asuma meant."

"The 'Jade General', a closely protected chess piece, played an important role in winning or losing in the rules."

"I thought of the Hokage, my parents, and my companions. But all of these are Not true.

“But Asuma told me the answer to this question when he was dying.”

“‘Jade’ refers to the future of this village, our generation, and our next generation.”

“It represents a kind of hope, so Asuma died generously to save us.”

“Do you think I am qualified to take on such a heavy responsibility?”

“I failed that time with Sasuke, and I failed this time with Asuma.”

“I am obviously afraid of trouble, but my strength is still so weak, why?”

After listening to Shikamaru’s emotional venting, July understood what he meant by the last question.

It’s just that there are too many things in it, and sometimes not all questions have answers.

"Shikamaru, people may change and grow in an instant."

"For some questions, I am looking for answers just like you."

"Since Asuma has entrusted you with the important task of protecting the 'Jade'."

"Then don't think about whether you are qualified or capable."

"If you don't try to take on the responsibility, you will never know whether you can do it."

"Don't learn to take all the reasons for failure on yourself."

"You are not the savior, don't think too much of yourself."

Shikamaru was stunned, and July left directly.

July felt that she was about to become the mother and psychological counselor of the entire Konoha.

After counseling Kakashi, Naruto, Sasuke, and now counseling Shikamaru.

Sometimes I can't say too harshly, I have to take care of their fragile hearts.

MD, I am just a teenager, and an orphan.

Why is there no one to counsel me?

Why are you all either saintly or tsundere?

Have you become so fragile? Will it break at the slightest touch?

Why do you have so many philosophical thoughts about life? Just live your own life first.

You haven't experienced anything yet, but you're worried about this and that.

Do you think you're an important person? In this ninja world, no one can stop the planet from rotating.

The sun rose as usual the next day.

Oh, I'm tired of complaining. Forget it. Let's go home and let my brain rest.

After returning home, QiYue did a big cleaning, and many things in the house should be thrown away.

She also re-planned the layout of the room.

After cleaning, July opened the refrigerator and took out a dozen eggs, milk, flour and other materials.

Prepared to make a cake by herself and grind a cup of coffee.

Sit quietly in the yard and have afternoon tea.

But man's plan is not as good as God's plan. July just put the cake in the oven and didn't have time to turn on the fire.

An Anbu came over and informed July to go to the Hokage's office for a meeting. There was an emergency.

Helplessly, July changed his clothes and came to the Hokage's office again. Kakashi was there.

Tsunade didn't say much nonsense and threw the scroll to July.

July took it and opened the scroll and began to read the contents.

Inside was the information sent by Jiraiya. After he knew that Asuma was killed in the battle.

He began to focus on investigating the whereabouts of Kakuzu and Hidan.

Finally, they found the traces of the two people at the border between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Lightning.

They went to the underground gold exchange there to accept the bounty mission, and were discovered by Jiraiya's informant.

"Tsunade-sama, what are you going to do?"

Tsunade pressed her temple hard. Now she really had a headache.

Although she knew the location of the two people, she didn't know whether she should send people to chase them.

This matter must be told to Shikamaru and the others, but Asuma's funeral has not yet been attended.

If Shikamaru and the others are sent to chase them after the funeral, I'm afraid that by then the opportunity will be gone.

No one knew where the two people ran to.

And Tsunade really didn't want to rashly send people to chase them without Kakuzu's accurate information.

This was too risky. Considering the identities of Shikamaru and the others, Tsunade was really entangled now.

Finally, July gave a suggestion, which was to let her and Kakashi track the two people first.

Then wait until the funeral is over, and then let Shikamaru and the others set off.

At that time, everything will be handled according to circumstances. If you can win, then fight. If you can't win, then fight.

With her Flying Thunder God, at least their lives are not in danger.

It's a good opportunity to collect information about Kakuzu and prepare for the future.

After listening to Nana's suggestion, Tsunade thought about it carefully for a while.

Finally agreed to this action.

So Kakashi and Nana, who received the order, set off secretly.

Before leaving, Tsunade specifically told Nana to bring them all back safely.

Because in this operation, Nana's Flying Thunder God is the key.
