Chapter 319: The Current Situation of the Two Pillars

~7 min read 1,231 words

At the entrance of Konoha Village.

Tsunade and Chinatsu, who were ready to go, met Kakashi who had been waiting for a long time under the gaze of many Konoha ninjas and residents.

At the same time, Naruto, Yamato and Kagura also arrived.

Wherever Naruto appears, there must be Yamato and Kagura who can suppress the existence of the Nine-Tails in Naruto's body.

This has become the norm in Konoha.

It was only last time that Pain invaded Konoha. Because of Qianye's obstruction, he didn't go to stop it.

Seeing Tsunade coming, Kakashi and the other three were scratching their heads.

"Kakashi...Naruto, Yamato, Kagura?" Tsunade crossed her arms and stared at the four people with a strange look on her face, "Tell me, what's going on. "Hearing this, Kakashi and the other three looked at each other. Their faces showed a trace of guilt, and finally they all looked at Kakashi. Among the four of them, except Yamato, they all had selfish motives. It goes without saying that Naruto wanted to see the Raikage. Kakashi wanted to help Naruto, help his teacher's son, and help his own students. As for Kakashi, she just wanted to take this opportunity to see if she could see the lady Qianye she had been thinking about. "Haha... How should I put it, Lady Tsunade, anyway, Naruto just talked with the two messengers of Kumogakure, and learned about Qianye and Sasuke from them. Naruto wanted to go and see the Raikage. At present, those Kumogakure ninjas already have Yamato's Wood Release seeds on them..." Kakashi laughed awkwardly. I don't know if it was because he felt guilty for taking the initiative, or because he was afraid that Tsunade would refuse. In that case, the plan would be ruined. "I knew it was like this. "Tsunade sighed helplessly, suddenly raised her head, and refused with a smile, "Of course... no."

"Why is this the case, Tsunade-san, please." Naruto rarely acted like a spoiled child, his eyes were wide open, tears flashed, and his pupils were full of innocence.

If a cute girl showed this expression, few people could refuse.

But Naruto... Ugh!

Tsunade gave Naruto a big slap, "Listen to me, let me finish my words." The latter had a big bump on his head.

"Kakashi needs to go with me to the Five Kage Talks. You are now the focus of Akatsuki's arrest. I don't feel at ease with Kagami and Yamato alone."

Tsunade looked at Kakashi: "How is the situation of Kai's team?"

Kakashi replied, "Ningji, Tenten, and Rock Lee are fine, they were just hit by Qianye's illusion and have recovered. Kai is more seriously injured and needs some time to recover. "

Tsunade nodded, thought for a moment, and said solemnly: "Now I order as the fifth Hokage that Team Gai and Team 8, as well as Yamato and Kakashi, will form a team to escort Naruto to see the Raikage."

"Because Gai's injury has not healed and Team 8's leader Kurenai Yuhi is on vacation, Yamato will be the team leader. Meet at the entrance of the village in half an hour."

"Thank you, Tsunade." Naruto was overjoyed when he heard this, and pulled Kakashi and Yamato to run to gather people.

"This guy is as energetic as ever." Looking at the three people going away, Tsunade's face showed a relieved smile.

"This is Naruto." Kakashi also smiled, "But by the way, Tsunade-sama, I haven't seen Kurenai for a long time. Is she on vacation? When?"

"She's been on vacation for several months. "Tsunade sighed and looked up at the sky. She couldn't really tell the truth about Kurenai's pregnancy.

There was no way to tell.

Who told Yuhi Kurenai to be pregnant with Qianye's child, just like her.

.................

A spacious and dim stone chamber somewhere in the Land of Hot Springs.

"Finally recovered. It's really troublesome that there is no medical ninja in the team. I can only rely on simple medicine and chakra stimulation to recover."

Suiyue simply moved his hands and feet, removed the bandages on his body and complained.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Sando was captured by Konoha's ninjas long before he met Uchiha Itachi."

The speaker was Jūgo. He had the strongest recovery ability among the three members of the Eagle Team, and he was the least injured.He had been communicating with birds to find out the hidden Kumogakure pursuers.

"Sandou, that idiot, is good for nothing except gambling. In the end, he didn't play any role at all." Shuiyue complained.

"Don't say that. After all, he was our former companion. At least he didn't betray us, right?" Shigeo corrected.

Shuiyue made a "tsk" sound and looked towards the innermost part of the stone chamber, where a figure was sitting on a giant stone step, looming in the darkness. "Sasuke-kun, your injury should be almost healed."

"Ah..." Sasuke's voice came from the darkness, and his eyes opened to reveal a pair of scarlet three-magatama Sharingan.

He slowly stood up and walked straight to the cave entrance.

"Where are you going?" Shuiyue asked in surprise.

"First find a companion with perception and medical ninjutsu, and then go to Konoha." Sasuke paused.

Shuiyue was stunned, "Konoha? Aren't you waiting for that masked man? I remember you said you wanted to kill that guy called Dan something, who is in the hands of Akatsuki."

"It's Danzo." Sasuke turned around, his scarlet Sharingan eyes were cold, "I'm tired of waiting. Before the Fifth Hokage took office, there were four Konoha high-ranking officials, including the deceased Third Hokage and Danzo who was forced to defect by Qianye."

"That is to say, there are still two high-ranking officials hiding in Konoha."

"At that time, the four of them held the highest power in Konoha. Although the order to exterminate the Uchiha clan was issued by the Third Hokage and Danzo, the two high-ranking officials were undoubtedly accomplices."

"Another point is that it is still unknown whether Danzo is in the hands of Akatsuki."

"Therefore, before finding Danzo, I decided to snipe them first."

In fact, the real purpose of going to Konoha is only known to Nijira himself. It is not the so-called sniping of Konoha high-ranking officials.

It is to avenge the entire Konoha.

Avenge the Konoha that gained the so-called peace at the cost of sacrificing the Uchiha.

He only told Obito about this.

He lied because he knew that if he said he wanted to take revenge on the entire Konoha, the members of the Hawk Squad would definitely not agree.

They did not have the capacity to challenge a big country.

It was easy to use the excuse of sniping the top leaders of Konoha, but once they were involved in the battle, they would not be able to get out of it.

Shuiyue sighed and said, "It's up to you. Anyway, I can only follow you to the end."

Jūgo said from the side, "You are the reincarnation of Kimimaro. Your will is Kimimaro's will. No matter where you go, I will follow you to the death. This is the agreement between Kimimaro and me."

"Then let's go, the target is Konoha."

The corner of the second pillar's mouth slightly raised, and the three walked out of the cave.

Passing by a forest, before they could walk far, they were blocked by a figure.
