Chapter 18 You don’t want anyone to know that you hit someone, right?
Tsunade saw the gate from afar, and a trace of sigh and memories flashed in her eyes.
"The former Lei Shou..."
"He died while on a mission. The ones guarding the gate now are Haneda and Tsuchihara, two newly promoted Chunins."
"Newly promoted, no wonder I haven't seen him before."
After more than a year away, Konoha is still the same Konoha, without much change, but the person standing at the door has changed a lot.
She sighed.
The face that originally showed expectation now showed a trace of loneliness, and the mood became dull.
however.
To the village entrance.
"Lady Tsunade? Lady Tsunade is back!"
"what?"
Two people at the entrance of the village exclaimed.
Immediately.
At the door, all the ninjas and villagers passing by stopped and swarmed in.
"Tsunade-sama!"
"Master Tsunade, you're back!"
"Where is Lady Tsunade? I want to see, I want to see..."
Amid the noisy sounds, accompanied by the voices of parents comforting their children, children were lifted up one by one and looked towards the village entrance from afar.
Most of these children have only grown up in the past one or two years, and they have no impression of Tsunade before.
But it's obvious.
Under the influence of their parents, they still knew Tsunade's name and admired her deeply.
In just a blink of an eye, the fairly spacious entrance to the village was already surrounded by the crowd that was gradually pouring in.
Tsunade was stunned.
She had unspeakable emotions in her heart, and the words were stuck in her throat, unable to be expressed.
"Don't block it, spread out."
Haneda waved.
The crowd outside finally made way.
Jiraiya walked up behind Tsunade and the group made their way inside.
Kakashi, who is usually calm, was so excited that his forehead turned red. You can see what kind of expression he had under the mask.
Sunset Red is also...
but.
In such a scene, few people can remain calm in the center of attention.
In this generation, many people were protected and treated by Tsunade. Even in the era of Naruto in later generations, there were still many people who admired Tsunade very much. This is a clear example.
Go all the way.
When they arrived near the Hokage Building, the crowd gradually dispersed under the organization of the ninjas.
Entering the building, Tsunade couldn't help but lean against the wall and look at Jiraiya.
"You go back and report. I won't go."
"it is good."
I never forced it.
"The C-rank mission is not very important. We don't need to report together. Kakashi, Hong, you can go first. Go back and have a good rest. We will gather for training tomorrow."
"I took a break, too."
Tsunade yawned.
Jingyan quickly asked: "Tsunade-sama, are the words you said before still valid?"
"what?"
Tsunade was stunned for a moment, then recalled what had happened, then understood immediately and said with a smile, "Do you really want to be beaten?"
"A ninja like you, we Genin have never had the chance to learn from you, so how could we not want to!"
Jingyan speaks quite directly.
Shizune couldn't help but admire in her heart——
If she had not seen Tsunade's strength, she would have thought that Jingyan's words were just the result of ignorance and fearlessness.
but.
Even though he had seen Tsunade's power and knew the difference between them, he still dared to bring it up...
That's quite courageous!
Tsunade smiled and said, "Good boy, you are very brave."
She paused and looked at Kakashi and Kurenai Yuhi.
"What about you two?"
"We also want your advice!"
Kakashi and Kurenai Yuhi responded quickly.
Tsunade put her hands on her hips and said, "Well, we have nothing to do anyway. Tomorrow morning at 7 o'clock in the Death Forest, don't be afraid to come!"
"Definitely arriving!"
Everyone shouted in unison.
Jingyin was envious, but she didn't ask to join them.
She had been wandering and traveling with Tsunade, and had long been half a student of Tsunade's. She had received a lot of guidance, so there was not much point in her getting involved this time.
……
Hokage's office.
Jiraiya informed the Third Hokage of the situation on the road, and at the same time lifted the seal and took out one of the bodies.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked serious.
"In your opinion, what are the chances that they will come for Tsunade?"
"It's hard to judge."
Jiraiya shook his head.
At that time, he was not at the first scene, so a lot of information could not be fully collected.
"One thing is certain, the other party must want to capture them alive. The target may be Tsunade, Shizune, or Kyohiko, Kakashi and others. The first wave of ninja tool attacks were not poisoned, so the possibility of murder and framing is not high."
"Is that so?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes.
Then, he looked at Jiraiya: "What do you think next?"
"I promised Matsuyama Koji that I will go to Wave Country later and observe the situation carefully, but I also hope you can help investigate."
Jiraiya said.
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.
"I'll arrange this."
"I'm leaving!"
"Now that Tsunade is back, you better be careful and don't do anything ridiculous again."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said.
Jiraiya's face froze, then he coughed lightly, waved his hand and jumped out of the window.
……
The next day, at the tenth training ground in the Death Forest.
This time, there was no need to prepare the examination room in advance, and the three of them were not taking the exam together, but——
One on one!
Tsunade stood there very comfortably.
"Will you guys go up one by one, or all together?"
Tsunade pointed at the three of them.
Kakashi and Kurenai looked hesitant.
Going together tests teamwork, going one by one tests individual strength...
"Can I have them all?"
Jingyan whispered.
Although he is still a child, as a spiritual adult——
I have to be all!
Tsunade laughed in silence, and then said unhappily: "You are too greedy, little brat. Be careful that you will be beaten so hard that you can't get out of bed today."
"Not afraid!"
Jingyan mustered up his courage.
Of course I'm afraid.
but.
If you back down from a free Kage-level ninja sparring match due to cowardice, you’d be a fool.
Ninjas are fearless!
Kakashi and Kurenai Yuhi also nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Jingyan's answer.
"You're not afraid, but I don't want to waste any more effort. Let's go one-on-one between the three of us. Who will go first?"
There's nothing wrong with Tsunade.
Come here.
There is no difference between beating him once and beating him three times, but when it is one against three, it is still a bit tricky.
"I'll come first!"
Kakashi reacted quickly and immediately took a step forward.
Jingyan withdrew his foot regretfully.
It seems——
In terms of innate reaction ability, Kakashi is still much better than himself.
He thought to himself.
"very good."
Tsunade raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and then drew a circle on the ground with her left foot, "I just want to beat people up, and I'm too lazy to move much, so I'll only use one hand, and you will win as long as you can find a way to force me out of the circle."
Kakashi looked intently at the battlefield.
The circle is very small, with almost no space on the left and right.
Such a range...
"Can the detonating talisman be used?"
"Of course, ninja tools are also part of a ninja's strength."
Tsunade's lips curled up slightly.
Kakashi nodded, "I'm fine now."
"Then let's get started."
The voice just fell.
Tsunade stared at Kakashi with a rather casual attitude, but——
Kakashi's forehead was covered with sweat.
His lips were trembling, his hands were shaking, and he stood there motionless.
Xiurihong was confused.
"Illusion? But I don't sense any chakra fluctuations!"
"It's not an illusion, it's just pure murderous intent."
Jingyan's expression was serious.
In the anime, Kakashi was twice so oppressed by Orochimaru's murderous aura that he dared not take action.
By that time, he was already a jonin.
nowadays--
Kakashi is just a Chunin, but he has to face the oppression of a Kage-level ninja like Tsunade. The pressure he is under can be imagined.
