Chapter 260: Tsunade: These Two Akatsuki Members Look Familiar
It was inevitable for Pain to be exposed.
After Kirigakure was attacked, the new Fifth Mizukage, tried to launch a plan to use Rokubi Jinchuriki to ambush Akatsuki’s organization. Unfortunately, Konoha was attacked by Kakuzu and the others and the plan ended in failure.
However, Terumi did not give up on Rokubi Jinchuriki and even sent people to persuade him to return to the village.
However, the disheartened Rokubi Jinchuriki refused Terumi’s proposal. Utakata believed that he had the ability to protect himself and it was more dangerous to return to Kirigakure to face those who discriminated or tried to deprive Bijuu.
Terumi was really helpless.
The entire Kirigakure had been broken through by Akatsuki’s organization. What could a mere Rokubi Jinchuriki do? Wouldn’t he be sending his heads to Akatsuki if he stayed outside at this time?
Unfortunately, Terumi’s authority was really not enough.
Moreover, Terumi’s methods were relatively mild. He only sent a portion of Ninjas to monitor and protect Rokubi Jinchuriki, continuing to persuade him to return to the village.
Unfortunately, in the face of an enemy of Six Paths of Pain’s level, it was not easy for those Kiri Ninja who was in charge of protecting and monitoring to escape to send a few letters back. At least they brought back information about a new member of Akatsuki’s organization.
Strictly speaking, the blame should be split between Uehara and Danzo, or even more.
If not for killing Danzo and rewarding him with Dark Harvest, Uehara would not have destroyed a village for the sake of Dark Harvest’s power.
If Uehara did not destroy Kirigakure, Terumi would not deliberately be hostile to the Akatsuki organization, and would not deliberately protect and monitor the situation of Rokubi Jinchuriki.
Now that Terumi had received the information about the new Akatsuki member and Rokubi Jinchuriki capture, she sent people to give these two pieces of information to her ally villages. Because of the alliance, Sunagakure, Kirigakure, and Konoha shared each other information.
In Konoha.
Tsunade was in the Ninja School, which was very rare for Tsunade. She was the type of Hokage who had to take time to deal with government affairs.
“Ha!”
Tsunade suddenly turned around and stepped on the ground. The huge force on her feet directly destroyed the floor, and the entire empty field was instantly turned into ruins!
A group of Ninjas who had not graduated looked at this scene in a trance. They did not feel the warmth of the will of fire and only felt the violence of a Hokage.
“Hey, what are you standing there for? Applause!”
Tsunade looked at the group of little kids with dissatisfaction.
The students of the Ninja School were scared silent for a second by her words, then scattered applause sounded, which was even more awkward than the scene just now.
Most of the boys were scared and did not know what to do.
Most of the girls were Fifth Hokage’s little fans.
Tsunade looked at the excited girls in a circle with satisfaction. She stretched out her palm and rubbed the little girl in the front, “Hanabi is eleven years old this year, right? You will graduate and become a ninja next year. You have to work harder!”
“Yes, Tsunade-sama!”
After nodding seriously to Hanabi, he suddenly said, “Tsunade-sama, can I become your disciple?”
“Huh?”
A question mark appeared on Tsunade’s head. She squatted down and looked at Hanabi and smiled, “When I saw you training Hyuga Soft Fist, you were already a genius ninja! Do you still want to become a medical ninja?”
“No.”
Hanabi calmly shook her head, her hair slightly fluttering. Even if she was only eleven years old this year, it could be seen that she would definitely become a beautiful female Ninja in the future.
Hanabi’s face became solemn, and her eyes became a little determined, “I want to learn Tsunade-sama’s strange power to kill Uehara Naraku and avenge father!”
Three to four years ago, in the Konoha Collapse Plan during the Chunin Exam, Hiashi was beaten by Uehara and become disabled in order to protect a group of Genins.
Therefore, the entire Hyuga clan was forced to promote another Ninja of the Hyuga clan, Hinata, to become the clan head.
At that time, she was still a Genin.
From then on, the Hyuga clan gradually began to keep a low profile.
Her father and sister actually doted on her very much. She was also a little genius and could be said to have had a good childhood life.
After the Chunin Exam ended, all of this changed.
Because of his disability, Hiashi had become depressed. He had placed all his hopes on his two daughters. Hinata’s att.i.tude when she was outside was very tough, but she always secretly shed tears in the middle of the night.
After all, all the members of the branch family of the Hyuga Clan hoped that Hinata, the head of the family, could shoulder the burden of the family and Hyuga’s reputation!
Hanabi had been watching all of this and deeply remembered the name of her enemy in her heart, as well as her practice dummy.
Uehara Naraku!
Uehara Naraku!
Tsunade heard Hua Huo’s words and looked at the determination and hatred on Byakugan’s face. The smile on Tsunade’s face gradually disappeared.
“I won’t promise you.”
Tsunade shook her head.
This sentence made Hanabi’s face turn ugly.
After a while, Tsunade slowly stroked Hanabi’s head and whispered, “If one day you don’t want revenge, but to protect your family better and in order not to let Konoha’s tragedy repeat itself, come back to me at that time!”
“…”
Hanabi was silent for a while.
A moment later, the little girl nodded and said, “Yes, Hokage-sama.”
After leaving the Ninja School.
Tsunade looked up in boredom and sighed, “Really, at such a young age, you shouldn’t be bound by hatred! Wouldn’t that be the same as that little brat Sasuke, who is willing to do anything for power?”
“This is the result of war…”
Shizune, who was beside Tsunade, hugged a little pink pig and sighed, “The last time Uehara came, I saw Konohamaru secretly hiding on the side to a.s.sa.s.sinate Uehara. He always clamored to avenge the Third Hokage!”
Sakura, who was walking on the other side, stroked his hair and whispered, “I clearly felt that Uehara-senpai wasn’t a bad person!”
“Well, are there pure good people and bad people in this world?”
Tsunade snorted and said with dissatisfaction, “That little brat is also doing this for his own village. This kind of thing is understandable. After all, he is just a ninja who accepted the orders of his superior. Don’t mention this topic again.”
It was good not to mention this matter.
At the mention of this matter, Tsunade couldn’t help but want to scold Danzo.
Unfortunately, Danzo was suspected to have died in battle and before he died, he added a big problem to Konoha.
“Hokage-sama!”
An Anbu appear in front of Tsunade and respectfully said, “Kirigakure’s messenger is here. They brought the latest information about Akatsuki’s organization!”
Another Dark Group Ninja also flew in front of Tsunade and said in a deep voice, “Lord Hokage, the information about Earth Country has just arrived. Iwagakure was attacked by Akatsuki and suffered heavy casualties. Gobi Jinchuriki was captured by Akatsuki’s organization!”
Another Anbu Ninja appear in front of Tsunade and whispered, “Hokage-sama, Iwagakure’s messenger is here negotiating. They hope to use the information of a member of Akatsuki’s organization that has yet to appear to exchange for our information about Akatsuki’s organization!”
“…”
Tsunade’s forehead could not help but jump.
Just as Tsunade was about to rush to the Hokage building, another Anbu appeared in front of her and said in a deep voice, “Hokage-sama, the leader of Takigakure Shibuki has sent a message. It is also about Akatsuki!”
“…”
Tsunade’s emotions gradually became irritable. She clenched her fist and punched the wall next to her!
After doing all this, Tsunade gritted her teeth and squeezed out a few words from her teeth, “I will immediately go to Hokage Building to see what is going on! Why did the group of people from Akatsuki suddenly make such a big move?”
Country of Earth, Country of River, and Country of Water.
Tsunade’s heart was covered with a shadow. If her guess was right, the news sent by Kirigakure and Takigakure should be the news of Jinchuriki’s robbing.
The truth was as Tsunade expected.
In the Hokage Building, Tsunade met Kirigakure’s messenger and immediately learned that Rokubi Jinchuriki, was captured by Akatsuki and an enemy with the legendary Rinnegan has appeared.
The information sent by the messenger of Takigakure was relatively miserable. Before the whole village could have decent resistance, several members of Akatsuki’s organization rushed in and captured Nanabi Jinchuriki Fu.
This was not unexpected to Tsunade.
After all, Takigakure did not have the strength to protect Nanabi. Tsunade once mentioned protection, but unfortunately, Shibuki did not dare to agree.
But now, their Jinchuriki were directly captured by Akatsuki’s organization.
Iwagakure’s messenger was more interesting.
This messenger of Iwagakure might have been inspired by Onoki, and they wanted to get the location of Akatsuki’s organization through negotiation.
“…”
Tsunade was speechless.
Who the h.e.l.l knew where Akatsuki’s base location was?
If Tsunade knew where Akatsuki’s base location was, would she still be sitting in Hokage Office and listening to the bad news? She would have already started to organize Konoha Ninja Army to attack Akatsuki’s base.
Iwagakure’s ninja was a little hesitant, and he stuttered, “But according to the information we got, Konoha and Sunagakure jointly took back the Fifth Kazekage Gaara who was taken away by Akatsuki…”
“That’s because…”
Tsunade wanted to say the credit of Uehara and Amegakure, but fortunately, she was still political sensitive and immediately swallowed the name of Uehara.
After all, once Iwagakure took this opportunity to build a friendly relationship with Amegakure, it would be a very bad situation for Konoha.
“Alright!”
Tsunade slapped the table and said coldly, “If you are willing to negotiate, then bring the information you have! Maybe the member of Akatsuki you know is already on our list of information!”
“This…”
The messenger was not very good at negotiating.
A moment later, he remembered the order of Third Tsuchikage and said in a deep voice, “In addition to the information Konoha can give us now, we also ask Konoha to inform our village when they find Akatsuki base in the future!”
“Don’t worry.”
Tsunade looked at the Iwa Messenger with dissatisfaction and said with contempt, “The more teammates there are, the better. If we want to encircle Akatsuki, it is not possible to succeed with just a single village!”
“… I hope Hokage-sama can keep her promise.”
The Iwa Messenger gritted his teeth and put the scroll on Hokage’s desk then whispered, “This is the information about Akatsuki and our Iwagakure’s contact.”
“Huh?”
Tsunade couldn’t help but smile and mock him, “We always thought that Iwagakure and Akatsuki were close partners!”
Back then, in the Country of Gra.s.s, Iwagakure used Akatsuki’s organization to add many casualties to Konoha, and Tsunade remembered it very clearly.
Seeing that Iwagakure was also destroyed by Akatsuki’s organization, Tsunade’s mood couldn’t be more comfortable, especially since this group of people still needed help from Konoha. If not for the big picture, Tsunade really wanted to kick this Iwa Messenger out.
“Huh?”
After Tsunade opened the scroll, she couldn’t help but frown, “Is this woman Amegakure’s traitor?”
Tsunade rubbed her forehead and looked at the sketch on the scroll, “Why does she look familiar? I think I have seen her somewhere before.”
“Has Hokage-sama seen her before?”
The Iwa Messenger had just received the information given to him by Konoha.
To be honest, the Iwa Messenger was a little rude. If Tsunade knew the woman on the scroll, wouldn’t their information be meaningless?
“Don’t worry.”
Tsunade looked at the Iwa Messenger and whispered, “This member is not on our wanted list. Your information is very valuable, and our agreement is still valid.”
After the Iwa Messenger turned around and left.
Tsunade continued to stare at the scroll, and her brow furrowed more and more.
On the scroll.
It was a female ninja with a cold face.
This female ninja was wearing an Ame ninja forehead protector and a black robe from Akatsuki’s organization. She looked like she was not easy to get close to.
Below the scroll was some information about her, such as light blue hair and light orange pupils. She often wore a bunch of paper flowers on her head. She was especially good at some kind of paper ninjutsu and could ignore physical attacks and so on.
Just as Tsunade was thinking, a tall, white-haired old man walked into Hokage’s office with a yellow-haired youth. He said excitedly, “Hey, Tsunade, we are back!”
“Jiraiya? Naruto?”
Tsunade subconsciously put down the scroll in her hand and looked up at them in surprise, “Why are you back? Did Naruto succeed in Sage mode? Didn’t you spend many years…”
“Shh, shh, shh!”
Jiraiya quickly raised a finger on his lips and slowly walked to Hokage’s desk. He sighed and said, “In any case, his Sage mode can be considered as training’s success! It’s just that the duration of Sage mode is a bit troublesome…”
The Kyuubi, who was in Naruto’s body, did not allow other Summoned Beast to share Naruto’s body like Jiraiya with the two toad sage. This led to Naruto’s Sage mode, although training had succeeded, it could not last too long in battle.
Fortunately, this little fellow had another shortcut.
After talking about Sage mode, Jiraiya glanced at the scroll in front of Tsunade and asked in surprise, “Well, what are you looking at? Why is your expression so ugly just now?”
“Oh.”
Tsunade subconsciously frowned again. First, she handed the intelligence scroll that Iwagakure gave to Jiraiya, then she took out a copy of the intelligence scroll that Kirigakure gave her and handed it to Jiraiya.
Tsunade’s expression was not good. She whispered, “This is the information we just got. Akatsuki organization has two hidden members. I seem to have seen them before…”
