Chapter 191 Comforting Nohara Lin

Chapter 191 Comforting Nohara Lin (th update)

Hanekawa closed his eyes.

With him as the center, the situation around him all appeared in his mind.

Under normal circumstances, the mind's eye can only sense the target's direction, number, speed and characteristics.

But this time was different, he could even hear the voices of the nearby Konoha Village ninjas chatting.

The reason is the entry he just obtained today.

B-level entry 'Perception Special Jonin', the effect of perception ninjutsu increases by 100%.

Hanekawa's heart moved.

In his perception, Tsunade was getting closer and closer to him.

The sounds of walking, breathing, and even heartbeats became clearer and clearer.

"Hanekawa, go to the meeting."

Tsunade walked into the tent and spoke.

"Is there any movement in the Iwagakure Village?"

Hanekawa opened his eyes and asked.

Two days have passed since the Four-Tails Jinchuriki Lao Zi was captured alive.

These two days were absolutely calm, with not even a little friction occurring.

It seemed as if the Iwagakure Village had forgotten that such a Jinchūriki had been captured.

"As you expected, the Iwagakure Village launched an attack on the Kumogakure Village."

Tsunade said directly without hiding anything.

"how many people?"

Hanekawa raised his eyebrows and asked.

"A rough estimate is tens of thousands of ninjas."

Tsunade sounded a little surprised and said, "This time, Ōnoki really spent a lot of money."

"But the Hidden Cloud Village won't let him have his wish."

Hanekawa stood up and said with a smile.

In the original work, although the Third Raikage died under the siege of tens of thousands of Iwagakure ninjas, it does not mean that the losses of the Iwagakure Village were not great.

Because after this battle, the Iwagakure Village did not make any major moves afterwards, as if their morale had been completely destroyed.

"The Third Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village is still here. It really won't be that easy for Ōnoki to win."

Tsunade nodded slightly and said.

"Did the Iwagakure Village send an envoy to us to ask for peace?"

Hanekawa followed her out of the tent.

"Not yet."

Tsunade replied, "But they sent a thousand ninjas to build defensive outposts in the Land of Earth. It seems that they are not planning to go to war with us."

If a war were to break out, it would not be in the Land of Earth, but in the Land of Grass.

After all, the five major countries have a certain tacit understanding to try not to fight on their own soil.

Unless we fall out.

For example, this time the Iwagakure Village entered the Land of Thunder.

"Tsunade-sama."

After Tsunade entered the main tent, a group of jonin took the initiative to shout.

Hanekawa was a little surprised.

He thought that they were just discussing the latest intelligence, but he didn't expect it to be a jonin meeting.

But when he saw Minato Namikaze returning from Konoha Village, he understood that most likely Sarutobi Hiruzen had some orders to convey.

"Hanekawa."

Hanekawa came to his senses and found that this group of jonin were greeting him.

He couldn't help but blink.

Does he now enjoy the same treatment as Tsunade?

In the ninja world, most people follow one principle: strength is respected.

Hanekawa captured the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Lao Shi, alive, showing strength that surpassed theirs.

In addition, he is Tsunade's student and a ninja from the Hokage lineage, so his future is limitless.

Now in their opinion, Hanekawa's status is indeed not much worse than Tsunade's.

"Let's have a meeting."

Seeing this, Tsunade raised her lips slightly and said.

She watched Hanekawa reach this point step by step, and she felt both proud and gratified.

"Tsunade-sama."

Namikaze Minato took a half step forward and said, "Old Zi has been successfully escorted back to Konoha Village."

"Thank you for your hard work, Minato."

Tsunade paused and asked, "Does the old man have any instructions?"

"Hokage-sama asked you to return to Konoha Village."

Namikaze Minato explained, "Because the Hidden Mist Village has been restless recently, a large amount of supplies have been prepared."

“Who’s in charge here?”

Tsunade asked again.

"Although it seems that the Iwagakure Village will not go to war with us again, there are still more than a thousand Iwagakure ninjas left at the border of the Land of Earth."

Namikaze Minato nodded and said, "Hokage-sama meant to let me stay in the Land of Grass just in case."

The meeting lasted another half hour.

Most of the content is about the handover of work between Tsunade and Minato Namikaze.

"The meeting is dismissed!"

After finishing the discussion, Tsunade waved her hand and said.

"Yes."

Many jonin left, and finally only Hanekawa was left.

"We'll return to Konoha after lunch."

Tsunade looked at Hanekawa and spoke.

"Ok."

Hanekawa replied, "I'll go inform Hong and Lin later."

"Ah."

Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief, a smile on her face, and said, "I can finally go home."

On the battlefield, the spirits are tense every day and there are battles from time to time, so naturally they cannot compare with Konoha Village.

Especially since you can't drink alcohol and can't gamble, it's very tormenting.

"Yes."

Hanekawa sighed and said, "Home is still the best."

"I just want to lie down on the couch and sleep now."

Tsunade said with a relaxed expression.

"Just go home and sleep?"

Hanekawa laughed and exposed her, "Aren't we going to the casino?"

"Little brat! You talk too much nonsense!"

Tsunade walked up to him and flicked her hand at his forehead in dissatisfaction.

"hiss!"

Hanekawa took a deep breath and couldn't help complaining, "Teacher, if you do this, no one will accompany you to the casino."

Tsunade looked at him, and somehow moved closer to him, kissed him lightly on the forehead, then took a half step back.

Hanekawa couldn't help but be stunned.

"Are you willing to go like this?"

Tsunade suppressed the strangeness in her heart and asked without changing her expression.

"go with!"

Hanekawa immediately grabbed her hand and said, "Since it's the teacher's order, I must comply!"

"let go."

Tsunade said with a snort.

"I don't know how long I can stay in Konoha Village."

Hanekawa didn't let go of her hand and changed the subject.

"That depends on when the Kirigakure Village sends out its troops."

Tsunade glanced at his hand and said without trying to break free.

"Too."

Hanekawa recalled the plot in the original work and said, "This time it will definitely be more troublesome than last time."

In addition to the greater number of ninjas, there will also be the involvement of Uchiha Madara.

In order to open Uchiha Obito's eyes, he controlled many ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village, even including the Three-Tails Jinchuriki.

No matter how Hanekawa thought about it, he felt that he and Nohara Rin would be the targets of Uchiha Madara.

Fortunately, the strength of Age Spots is far inferior to that of Impure World Spots.

Moreover, Hanekawa's current strength is not weak, so it won't be so easy for him to become the material for Uchiha Obito's eye opening.

"It's okay, it's just a Mist Village, not as troublesome as the Cloud Village."

Tsunade chuckled and said, "We have to thank the Iwagakure Village for helping us share the pressure."

Among the five major villages, the Sand Village and the Mist Village have the weakest overall strength.

The Sand Village is so deserted because of its harsh environment and the fact that it only has one tailed beast.

Although the Hidden Mist Village has two tailed beasts, the morale is too bad and the village practices bloody rule, which has led to many ninjas dying at the hands of their own people.

Hanekawa thought of Mei Terumi.

I don’t know if I can meet her this time.

"Let's go."

Tsunade withdrew her hand and left the main tent.

Hanekawa did not follow her, but came to Yuhi Kurenai and Nohara Lin's tent.

Ever since Uchiha Obito disappeared, Kurenai Yuhi was worried about Nohara Rin, so she lived with her.

Hanekawa raised his hand and knocked on the tent a few times.

"Please come in."

The voice of Yuhi Kurenai rang out.

Hanekawa walked into the tent.

He looked at Nohara Lin and saw that her complexion had improved a lot. "Hanekawa!"

Sunset Red is as energetic as before.

"I came here to inform you that we will leave for Konoha Village in the afternoon."

Hanekawa said with a smile.

"Great!"

Yuhi Kurenai said happily.

Nohara Lin was cheered up upon hearing this.

She was naturally very happy to be able to go home.

But she soon thought of the now missing Uchiha Obito, and her expression suddenly dimmed.

The time came in the afternoon.

At the entrance of Konoha Village headquarters.

"Kakashi."

Nohara Lin looked at Hatake Kakashi who was seeing him off and said, "Be sure to inform me when there is news about Obito."

"I will."

Hatake Kakashi nodded vigorously and said.

"You should also pay attention to safety."

Nohara Lin warned.

"Kakashi, and Gai, see you next time."

Hanekawa greeted them and turned to leave.

The four of them headed eastward, and by nightfall, they had entered the territory of the Fire Nation.

"Just rest here for one night."

Although Tsunade wanted to return to Konoha Village as soon as possible, she also understood the priorities.

"What to eat?"

After Hanekawa set up the tent, he took out various pots and pans.

"Are there any octopuses?"

Xiurihong had already sat down at the dinner table.

"Where are the octopuses now?"

Hanekawa rolled his eyes at her and said, "If you want to eat it, I'll make it for you when I get home."

"Ok."

Yuhi Kurenai stuck out her tongue at him.

"Lin, what about you?"

Hanekawa looked at Nohara Rin and asked.

"I also can."

Nohara Lin was stunned for a moment, then added, "Everything you cook is delicious."

"Why don't you ask me?"

Tsunade asked with a raised eyebrow when she saw Hanekawa turned around and started cooking.

"I know what the teacher likes to eat."

Hanekawa said without turning his head.

"..."

Tsunade seemed to want to say something, but in the end she said nothing. She just looked at his figure in a daze.

"Okay!"

Half an hour later, Hanekawa brought the dishes to the table and said, "One dish for each of you."

Tsunade took a look at her dish, which was her favorite tender chicken.

She asked curiously, "Where did you get the chicken?"

"I asked Minato-senpai to buy it for me."

Hanekawa said with a big smile on his face, "This is the only chicken in the ninja world that has used the Flying Thunder God Technique."

Tsunade couldn't help but laugh.

"What about my octopus?"

Xihi Kurenai put her hands on her hips and asked with some dissatisfaction.

"Because the Land of Grass doesn't sell octopus."

Hanekawa spread his hands and said, "There's nothing I can do."

"Ok."

Yuhi Kurenai looked at the dish in front of Nohara Lin and asked, "Why is this a dessert?"

"Strawberry Daifuku."

Hanekawa replied, "We can eat after dinner."

"No wonder."

Yuhi Kurenai tilted her head and said, "I remember Lin likes to eat strawberries."

"Thank you."

Nohara Lin said a little embarrassedly.

She didn't expect Hanekawa to be so thoughtful.

"nothing."

Hanekawa said nonchalantly, "Food is meant to bring happiness to the eater."

Nohara Lin was stunned.

She suddenly reacted.

Is he worried about me because Obito is missing?

Nohara Lin couldn't help but feel touched.

Dinner is over.

Hanekawa picked up his bowl and chopsticks and went to the small river not far away.

A few minutes later, the washed dishes were put into the sealed storage scroll.

The night is getting darker.

With nothing to do, Hanekawa started practicing the Hundred Heroes Technique.

He had been busy with fighting and perception ninjutsu, so his progress in the Hundred Healings Technique was still a little behind.

In addition to the Hundred Healings Technique, he has also mastered more than half of his Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

Maybe I can learn them all before going to the battlefield of the Hidden Mist Village.

Hanekawa's current goal is the Hundred Healings Technique, Lightning Release Chakra Mode and Wind Release Special Jonin.

After obtaining these three entries, he can focus on the Wood Release entry.

the reason is simple.

Wood Release has a very special meaning to Konoha Village.

If Hanekawa has Wood Release, he can basically rest easy in Konoha Village.

Even if the Hidden Cloud Village said he was a spy, no one would believe it.

Hanekawa suddenly had an idea, and he heard footsteps outside the tent.

Was heading outside.

The voice sounds like Nohara Rin.

Hanekawa hesitated for a few seconds, then stood up and left the tent.

He soon saw the familiar figure.

Nohara Lin sat on the ground with her arms around her legs, looking a little depressed.

"Are you worried about Obito?"

Hanekawa walked up to her, sat next to her, and asked softly.

"Ah."

Although Nohara Lin was a little surprised, she nodded and acknowledged it.

"Can you tell me something?"

Hanekawa turned and looked at her.

In the moonlight, he could clearly see the fair face and neck, and smell the faint fragrance.

"I have always regarded Obito as a playful younger brother..."

Nohara Lin met his gaze, her heart trembling slightly, and spoke slowly.

Hanekawa didn't interrupt, but just listened to her quietly.

Her feelings towards Uchiha Obito are consistent with the original work, and there is indeed no love between men and women.

If I really have to say I like him, I also had a good impression of Hatake Kakashi in the original work.

"Maybe crying will make you feel better."

Hanekawa thought about it and said comfortingly.

Nohara Lin bit her lip and tears flowed down the corners of her eyes.

Although Uchiha Obito is missing, there is actually little hope that he will survive.

Because at that time half of his body was paralyzed.

Even if he was captured by the Iwagakure Village, could he be saved? Wouldn't he be disabled after being saved?
All kinds of thoughts emerged in Nohara Lin's mind, making her subconsciously hug Hanekawa's arms tightly and cry even more sadly.

Hanekawa was slightly startled, then reached out and gently stroked her head.

how to say?

She is indeed gentle and kind.

It’s just that in the original work, luck wasn’t very good.

I don’t know how long it took, but Nohara Lin finally reacted.

She sniffed Hanekawa's scent, felt his movements, and her face gradually turned red.

"Thank you... thank you..."

Nohara Lin loosened her hands and moved back a little.

Hanekawa took out a tissue, reached out his hand, and wiped the tears from her face.

Nohara Lin was stunned for a moment, her whole body stiffened in place, at a loss as to what to do.

Soon, her neck and ears turned red.

Hanekawa looked at her and felt that she looked like some kind of strawberry cake, white with a hint of pink, very cute.

"me……"

Nohara Lin's voice was trembling and her pupils were shaking, but they reflected Hanekawa's smile.

She felt her heartbeat speed up uncontrollably.
