Chapter 118 You actually dared to ambush Lady Tsunade! Naruto returns to the village, open the can!
Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, Danzo's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
He truly never imagined that one day he would hear the words "you need to understand" from Hiruzen's mouth.
"Then at least some resources need to be allocated."
Danzo said in a deep voice, "Otherwise, the Anbu base cannot be built, which would be a huge loss for the village."
Hiruzen Sarutobi: "."
Hiruzen Sarutobi was speechless upon hearing Danzo's words.
Before seeking resources, focus on building the foundation, without letting yourself know.
When they need resources, they say they're building a covert operation.
He still doesn't know where this "dark branch" base is, Danzo said it was for the sake of the dark branch.
However, considering the recent situation at Root and the loss of ninjas, Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded: "Don't worry, I will allocate some resources to you, so you can start building."
"Don't go to the ninja tool shop anymore. If you want shuriken, I'll give you some. These resources need to be managed together."
"Danzo, you absolutely mustn't do anything reckless again!"
In the end, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Danzo very seriously.
"I understand."
Danzo felt a sense of relief upon hearing that Hiruzen Sarutobi was willing to approve a batch of resources.
He then gave a cold reply and turned to leave.
Hiruzen Sarutobi: "."
The Third Hokage was speechless as he watched Danzo leave without warning.
Is this guy born in the Year of the Dog?
Shaking his head, the Third Hokage stopped thinking about it and prepared to sit down and continue dealing with the matter.
"Woof!"
Just then, the sound of dogs barking rang out.
A small dog was climbing in through the window, with a scroll hanging from its mouth.
After entering, it was handed over to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Upon seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately broke into a smile.
Kakashi finally managed to send the message back.
Immediately, Hiruzen Sarutobi went up and patted the dog's head before unrolling the scroll.
"You're back so soon?"
"So that's how it is."
"The threat has been dealt with by the rogue ninja from Kirigakure? The person being protected is no longer in mortal danger, and Naruto and the others have already grasped some basics, so they're already on their way back?"
"It seems its adaptability is beyond my expectations, so things should be going well soon."
Looking at the information recorded on the scroll, Hiruzen Sarutobi's tightly furrowed brows relaxed.
It turned out to be the case.
No wonder Kakashi didn't send back the information in time; he had been exhausted and passed out after fighting a rogue ninja from Kirigakure.
It's only now that I've recovered.
"Is Zabuza Momochi such a great threat? Has Kirigakure still not dealt with him?"
"This guy is dangerous."
Looking at the information Kakashi had written in the intelligence report, Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned, realizing that Gato of the Land of Waves had likely been dealt with by a rogue ninja from the Hidden Mist Village who had been hired by him.
What exactly is Kirigakure doing?
They didn't bring this dangerous guy back immediately.
"If all else fails, we'll have to send in the secret service."
"However, he is a rogue ninja from Kirigakure, and still a Jonin. It would be a thankless and exhausting task for Konoha to do this. There's no need for us to do it."
"But this guy is too dangerous."
"This is not how a ninja should act."
Looking at the information about Zabuza Momochi and the Land of Waves, Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned, sensing a troublesome situation.
That's what Hiruzen Sarutobi was thinking.
The country of waves.
In front of the bridge that is not yet completed.
Naruto Uzumaki waved excitedly at Kakashi, "Let's go, Kakashi-sensei! Let's work harder and we'll be able to get back to the village tomorrow!"
Yesterday, in order to return to the village as soon as possible, he and Sasuke Uchiha were able to spar briefly on the water without falling in.
Therefore, they are now in a position to return to the village.
He immediately grabbed Kakashi and tried to take him back to the village.
After all, going back to the village means you can open the jars!
"I know, I know, don't worry."
Seeing Naruto's excitement, Kakashi sighed and said, "Naruto, are you sure you want to go back to the village so soon? It won't be so easy to leave the village next time, or the time will be very short."
"Our mission is complete. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we have the right to remain in the mission for an extended period."
"We could have waited until the bridge was finished before going back to the village."
"If you go back to the village now, you won't be able to stay idle."
"Huh?"
Upon hearing this, Naruto Uzumaki looked astonished; "What do you mean?!"
"Idiot, Kakashi-sensei means we can slack off during the mission's deadline!"
Sakura Haruno looked at Naruto Uzumaki speechlessly: "As a mission, even some missions have a time limit. If you complete them quickly enough, then the remaining time is yours to use as you please. You can relax and do whatever you want. When the time limit is almost up, you can go back to the village to hand in the mission or explain the details of the mission."
"What Kakashi-sensei means is that we can stay in the Land of Waves for a long time without worrying about the missions in the village."
"I didn't say that."
Upon hearing Sakura Haruno's words, Kakashi narrowed his eyes and vehemently denied it.
"Let's go back. There's nothing fun in the Land of Waves."
Sasuke Uchiha glanced at the Land of Waves in the distance and shook his head, saying, "There aren't even many ninjas, and some things are scarce. Whether it's food, drink, or training supplies, they can't compare to the village. We might as well go back sooner."
The Land of Waves is a small island nation connected to the outside world by only one bridge. It has almost no ninjas, a poor economy, and its people live in poverty.
"That's right, that's right."
Hearing Sasuke's words, Naruto nodded in agreement: "Let's go back to Konoha as soon as possible, I want to eat Ichiraku Ramen!"
I haven't tasted Ichiraku Ramen in a long time.
Moreover, once he got back, he couldn't wait to find the shop owner to open the jar.
If we calculate the time, as long as we return to the village tomorrow or the day after, we can catch up with the progress of opening the jar.
"OK."
Seeing that everyone said so, Kakashi nodded: "In that case, let's go back to the village."
"Compared to coming here, we can go downstream by boat, but going back might take twice as long, which is two days."
"Get ready to camp out in the wild tonight."
"Sleeping outdoors."
Upon hearing this, Sakura Haruno's heart skipped a beat.
Since she came out, she has never lived in the wild.
Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto, however, disagreed.
It's just camping in the wild, there's nothing difficult about it.
Immediately, everyone left the Land of Waves.
Compared to the downstream boat journey, the return trip required traversing rugged mountain paths.
Along the way, the mountain path was winding and tortuous, surrounded by towering trees with dappled shadows. Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled patterns on the ground.
From noon to afternoon, and then to evening.
As the sun set, the sky gradually darkened, and the surrounding temperature began to drop.
Kakashi decided to set up camp near a stream.
Because there is clear water and enough trees to shelter us from the wind and rain.
"On the way here, we were protecting an ordinary person and it was quite easy. But the return journey has been much more troublesome."
As Naruto sat down, he complained, "This is terrible! Can't we just use chakra to travel?"
"Of course you can, but that kind of rush isn't worth it."
Hearing Naruto's words, Kakashi calmly replied, "After all, you've only just graduated and are still genin. Once your chakra is depleted, your mental and physical strength will be exhausted, making you slower than ordinary people. That would delay your return trip."
"Huh? Is that so?"
Upon hearing Kakashi's words, Naruto's expression froze.
Yes.
He has a lot of chakra, but Sakura and Sasuke don't.
"Alright, let's rest here tonight."
Seeing that Naruto understood, Kakashi stopped, looked around, and said, "Let's get some firewood first."
Hearing this, Sakura Haruno breathed a slight sigh of relief.
She was genuinely afraid that she would have to spend the night in the open wilderness with no cover whatsoever.
Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha immediately put down their backpacks and began gathering firewood to prepare for cooking.
"Naruto, go find some firewood. Sasuke, Sakura, you two go prepare dinner."
Kakashi arranged the tasks methodically.
Then he went to find some branches and leaves suitable for setting up a tent.
Night fell, and the sky became completely dark.
The campfire in the camp burned brightly, dispelling some of the chill.
The four sat around the fire, eating simple food.
Naruto, in particular, talked incessantly about his "great achievements" in reminding Kakashi-sensei, as if he had defeated Zabuza and Haku.
Sasuke simply gave a cold snort, unimpressed by Naruto's boasting.
"Alright, finish your meal and get some rest. We have a long journey ahead tomorrow," Kakashi said lazily, yawning.
He thought of the manga in Naruto's pocket.
Let's see if we can take advantage of today to secretly get our hands on it again.
Time passed, and the mountain forest was quiet and still at night, with only the occasional chirping of insects and the rustling of leaves in the wind.
Under the soft moonlight, Naruto and the others lay quietly in their sleeping bags, gazing silently at the night sky.
Although Sakura Haruno was a little scared, she felt more at ease knowing that Kakashi-sensei was keeping watch and Sasuke was nearby.
Time passed slowly, and the next morning, the sky began to lighten with the first hint of dawn.
Kakashi propped his chin on his hand, looking at Naruto with a speechless expression.
Where did that kid put that thing?
I was thinking of checking my pockets late last night, but it wasn't there.
If Naruto hadn't been holding the sealed scroll so tightly, he would have opened it to see what was inside.
Unfortunately, there was no chance.
"We can only wait until we get back to the village."
Kakashi shook his head and then woke up Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha.
Sakura Haruno also woke up to Kakashi's gentle call, rubbed her eyes, and yawned.
"We can speed things up this morning and try to get back to the village before noon."
Kakashi looked at the sky gradually brightening and said with a smile, "If you make it in time, you can still have lunch; otherwise, you'll have to go back to the village this afternoon."
Upon hearing this, Naruto leaped to his feet, his spirits high, and exclaimed, "Then let's hurry up and go! I can't wait to get back to Konoha!"
Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura packed up and followed Kakashi towards Konoha Village.
As they approached Konoha Village, the air in the mountains was refreshingly pleasant.
Sunlight filters through the treetops onto the path, scattering across the dew-covered grass blades and reflecting a rainbow of colors.
Time flies by.
When Naruto and the others returned to the entrance of Konoha Village.
It was already close to noon.
"Ah, I'm finally back!"
Looking at the familiar outline of Konoha Village, Sakura Haruno wiped the sweat from her forehead and let out a long sigh: "I need to go back and take a good shower."
When you're on a mission outside, it's not even convenient to take a shower.
"Then let's disband for now."
Kakashi said, "I'm going to hand over the mission. You guys wait for me at Ichiraku Ramen. I'll treat you to some ramen."
"Of course, you can go back and rest for a while, and meet at Ichiraku Ramen in half an hour."
"good!"
"I'll go back and take a shower first, then head to Ichiraku Ramen."
Upon hearing Kakashi's words, Sakura Haruno quickly said, "Kakashi-sensei, you go ahead."
Kakashi: "."
It was somewhat strange to hear such words coming from Sakura's mouth.
Kakashi then shook his head and walked into Konoha Village.
"Sasuke, Sasuke, we're on the same path."
Sakura Haruno immediately looked at Sasuke Uchiha and quickly said, "We can take a walk together."
To Sakura Haruno's words, Sasuke Uchiha remained expressionless: "Whatever."
With that, he left first.
"Naruto, see you in half an hour."
Sakura Haruno's face lit up with joy, and she immediately turned around to say goodbye to Naruto Uzumaki.
They discovered that Naruto Uzumaki had already disappeared into the distance, leaving without a word.
Sakura Haruno; "."
Seeing this, Sakura Haruno was speechless.
What urgent matter is Naruto so busy with?
Sakura Haruno was speechless, then quickly followed in Sasuke's direction.
"Open the can! Open the can!"
"No, we should go back first and unroll the scroll. Otherwise, if we go straight to Mr. Lin Mo's place as soon as we get back to the village, it will attract too much attention."
"Go back first, get the money out, then open the jar. After that, go to Ichiraku Ramen and wait for Kakashi-sensei."
At this moment, Naruto Uzumaki was filled with thoughts as he carried the little dragon straight home.
After returning home.
He immediately closed the doors and windows and decisively unsealed the scroll on his back.
"Hmm, release the seal on this scroll."
Following the method given away for free, Naruto Uzumaki began to imitate the hand seals.
"Bang!"
The sealing scroll was opened, and then a "whoosh" sound rang out as gold and silver treasures poured out, exciting Naruto Uzumaki.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"
The next second, Naruto Uzumaki formed hand seals and summoned shadow clones to quickly clean up the scene, placing gold and silver treasures in various corners of his house.
After doing all this, Naruto excitedly packed up the money he had prepared, picked up Charmander, and left.
He's going to open the jar!
"Hehe, not only do I have the money for this jar opening, but I won't lack money for opening jars for a while."
Naruto Uzumaki thought to himself as he ran excitedly.
Last time I got a comic book, I wonder what I'll get this time.
At this point in time, Mr. Lin Mo must have already opened the door!
"Before I knew it, it's already the second week."
Just as Naruto Uzumaki rushed over excitedly.
In the jar shop.
Lin Mo sat by the door, gazing at the sun outside, squinting his eyes.
Time flies.
Tomorrow it'll be Hinata and the others opening the jar again.
We can sell jars again.
If I remember correctly, it was Silent who opened the jar this time last week.
I wonder if this child has found Tsunade yet.
How well are the fruits of surgery used?
As Lin Mo was thinking this.
the other side.
In a dense forest in the Land of Fire.
The trees are towering, their dense foliage blocking out the sun, with only a few rays of sunlight filtering through the gaps in the leaves.
Shizune and Tsunade stopped and looked ahead.
A few figures could be vaguely seen in the woods ahead.
Enveloped in a black robe, he stood in the middle of the road, blocking their way.
Tsunade stopped in her tracks, her brows furrowed, and her sharp gaze fixed on the black-robed ninja in front of her.
Shizune squinted and asked, "Who are you? How dare you ambush us in a place like this?"
Shizune truly never imagined that she and Lady Tsunade would encounter an ambush while traveling.
are you crazy?
You should know that when Lady Tsunade traveled around the ninja world, she never tried to hide anything.
As one of the legendary Sannin, no one dared to cause trouble for Tsunade.
Apart from some creditors.
Now she and Lady Tsunade have been ambushed in the middle of nowhere?
She didn't believe the other party wouldn't recognize Tsunade.
This is also why Mute frowns.
Since they were able to surround and trap Lady Tsunade, they must have been confident.
"We just want you to go back the way you came."
A leader shrouded in black robes said in a deep voice, "We have no intention of making enemies of Lady Tsunade."
"Hey, you charlatan!"
Upon hearing this, Tsunade snorted coldly, not bothering to say anything more, and suddenly threw a punch forward.
"boom!"
The fist, carrying immense wind pressure, moved with incredible speed, producing a muffled explosion in the air.
Even though those people shrouded in black robes formed hand seals immediately, causing the ground to crack and the rock walls to rise, they were instantly shattered.
Along with the wind pressure, their black robes were also shattered.
"Bang!"
One by one, the black robes ripped apart, and fragments of fabric flew everywhere, revealing several figures.
"The eighth note is the hallmark."
Upon seeing these people, Shizune's pupils constricted sharply, and she exclaimed in surprise, "You're from the Sound Village?!"
"Could it be the Sound Five?!"
"No, that's not right. If it were a group of five, there should be five of you, but you only have four!"
"The ninja village built by Orochimaru?"
Upon hearing Shizune's words, Tsunade, who was standing next to her, immediately narrowed her eyes.
She was well aware of this ninja village.
It was created by Orochimaru.
"I didn't expect that even Tsunade's attendants would be able to recognize us."
Upon hearing Shizune's words, Jirobo took a deep breath and looked at Tsunade and Shizune warily: "As I said, we have no intention of being enemies with Lady Tsunade. We came to see Lady Tsunade on the orders of Lord Orochimaru."
While Jirobo was speaking, the people next to him immediately tensed up and formed hand seals, as if they were ready to deal with any sudden danger.
