Escape From Konoha

The contact with the daimyo messenger did not take much time.

The arrival of the messenger is only to ask about Konoha's current situation on a regular basis, and then inform Tsunade that Daimyo has an important military matter to invite her, Hokage, to go to Daimyo to discuss. And I hope she can set off as soon as possible, and must arrive in Daming before March 2.

Although there was not much time left for Tsunade, considering that Konoha Village could reach Damingfu in about half a day, Tsunade did not seem too anxious. Just replying to these messengers, she will arrive at the Daming House on time before March 2, and join the Daming.

Before going to Daming Mansion, Tsunade felt that it was necessary to frighten the restless people in the village, so as not to make some people feel that there was an opportunity to do some unruly things while she went to Daming Mansion to discuss important matters.

Although in the various departments of Konoha, his own power has only deeply penetrated into a few limited departments such as Anbu and the medical department, but as long as she occupies the name of Hokage, then Konoha Village has at least half of the power, she Can be mobilized in the name of Hokage. And these powers are the deterrent power that Hokage has based on the top of the village.

Departments such as Anbu and the medical department are only important voice channels for Naruto to issue their own decrees, but the specific implementers are tens of thousands of ninjas in the village.

With this foundation, Hokage is Hokage.

That being said, Tsunade does not dare to underestimate the power of the ninja clan today. The ninja clan who were greatly stimulated by the incident of the Uchiha clan and began to radically seek power in order to stabilize their family status are now everywhere. It can be said that her teacher Sarutobi Hizan has left her with a very difficult problem.

There is also the handling of the Sarutobi clan... Although most of the members of Anbu have been replaced, there are still some important positions that are firmly held by the ninjas of the Sarutobi clan. Asking them to obediently return the Anbu position that should belong to Hokage's jurisdiction is not a smooth solution.

If one goes wrong, it may lead to bloodshed.

If it was going to get to that point, Tsunade would undoubtedly be unwilling to see it.

"Lord Hokage, the list of guards has been drawn up. Do you have anything else to add?"

At this time, Lu Jiu's voice rang in his ears, and he came to Tsunade with a list.

Tsunade took the list and quickly glanced at it.

The names of the people on the list are all the guard ninjas who will accompany her to the Daming Palace next, and all of them are elites selected from Anbu.

Apart from Lu Jiu, the squad leader of the Shangnin who had to accompany him, there were 17 remaining guards, which was exactly the number of Anbu's detachment.

The leader is Tianzang, a blood-based limit ninja with a wooden escape.

"Replace Tianzang and choose another squad leader to take over."

After Tsunade put down the list, he instructed Shikahisa.

"Replace Tenzo? Hokage-sama, with all due respect, Tenzo is one of the very few high-powered ninjas in Anbu. With him and the rest of Anbu, we can be sure of everything."

Kakashi was slightly taken aback.

"No need, just do it."

Tsunade thought about it and decided to replace Tianzang.

"Can you tell me why, Hokage-sama?"

Kakashi asked incomprehensibly.

From his point of view, he does not think that there is a problem of loyalty in the wooden ninja Tianzang.

"It's not what you think, I have never doubted Tianzang's loyalty, but next I plan to let him take over the position of the seventh class's guide."

Tsunade knew what Shikaku had misunderstood and explained.

"So it is."

Hearing Tsunade's explanation, Lu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief. He thought there was something wrong with Tianzang.

Although there are some problems inside Konoha, he can't completely fall into the trap set by the enemy, and he becomes suspicious and lacks trust in anyone.

And if even Hokage himself begins to become suspicious, then there will easily be a crisis of trust inside Konoha, causing the village to collapse from within, which is extremely detrimental to Konoha's future development.

"What do you think, let Tianzang be the new captain of the seventh class?"

Tsunade picked up the pen in his hand and tapped it on the table twice, and after making a crisp sound, he asked Shikahisa's opinion.

As for Tsunade's question, Shikaku said without hesitation: "I think it's feasible. Tianzang is the only wooden ninja in the village, and like the Shakun, he has the restraint power to suppress the tailed beast. Let him be Naruto. The **** is undoubtedly the best candidate."

The seventh squad has now lost a captain and a team member, and there are only two people left, and they are simply unable to undertake the responsibilities of the seventh squad.

Then, at this time, it is necessary to reorganize the seventh class.

However, considering the particularity of Naruto as a human pillar, the general ninja is simply not qualified for the position of the captain of the seventh squad. After all, while protecting Naruto, he can also quiet down the power of the tail beast in his body. Such a ninja is even more difficult to find in Konoha Village.

Apart from Tenzo, Lukisa couldn't think of anyone in Konoha who was more suitable than him to be the leader of the seventh squad.

"Then it's settled. Let Tianzang take office tomorrow and lead the seventh squad to carry out the mission, and then...forbid them to temporarily leave the country of fire. The scope of the mission is only within the country of fire."

Tsunade pondered for a while and gave the scope of activities for the seventh class.

"this……"

Kakashi's face was hesitant.

"What's wrong?"

"Actually, when Naruto first joined the seventh class to carry out the mission, among the senior management, except for the three generations of adults, Naruto was forbidden to leave the Konoha Village area. They believed that Naruto, who is the pillar force, should leave Konoha's sphere of influence. Besides, it is too risky. If it is lost, Konoha will suffer heavy losses.”

"It's ridiculous, Renzhuli is not only the weapon of the village, but also a member of the Konoha Ninja, with his own will. If it is not tempered, no matter how powerful a weapon is, it will rust. If you just blindly hide Renzhuli in the snow In the village, if he is not allowed to experience the wind and rain, in the end he is just a container with powerful chakra energy."

Tsunade sneered at this explanation.

Lu Jiu knew that he couldn't use this explanation, so Tsunade was convinced. And his purpose is not to convince Tsunade, but to remind Tsunade to do so, which may lead to objections from the advisory group.

But since Tsunade is ready for this, he naturally has to choose to support it.

He is the squad leader of Shangnin, and his direct supervisor is Hokage, not the advisory group.

And he also very much agrees with Tsunade's point of view, a ninja who has not experienced wind and rain, even if he has excellent qualifications, it is difficult to become a ninja on his own.

Naruto has a huge potential to be tapped. If you just protect him inside Konoha Village and give him the best protection, what you will eventually cultivate is the flowers in the greenhouse.

And the current Konoha does not need the human column strength cultivated in the greenhouse.

Putting Naruto on Konoha for protection is undoubtedly the biggest loss of Konoha.

"Lu Jiu, go and handle this matter well, let Tianzang be fully prepared, and don't be influenced by the people in the advisory group. By the way, take Anbu to the severe punishment room, visit the old guy in Danzo, and warn him The minions, just shrink in the dark, don't stretch out where they shouldn't."

If it weren't for the lack of strength today, the first thing Tsunade wanted to do would not be a painless warning, but to uproot the roots from the inside of Konoha.

Let the decades of shadow that shrouded Konoha be completely erased from Konoha.

Unfortunately, such an idea is only a fantasy that exists in the mind, and it is difficult to put it into practice.

"Yes."

Seeing Tsunade's resolute attitude, Lu Jiu nodded and sighed inwardly.

If it was just a warning, he didn't think the roots would stop there.

But for now, we can only delay like this, and the next focus is on the meeting in Daming House.

Things in the village can only be decided after coming back later.

If after returning, there is still this leisurely leisure.

"Okay, that's it. Notify the people on the list to gather at the main gate at five o'clock tomorrow morning, targeting Daming Mansion."

"Then I'm going down, Hokage-sama."

Lu Jiu took over the list again and turned to leave the office.

◎

The next day, it was just dawn.

Naruto dragged his exhausted body, set off from home, and arrived at the meeting point drowsy.

The gathering place is a practice field at the corner of Konoha Village, surrounded by dense trees. In some places, rusty barbed wire can also be seen, which accurately divides the area of ​​the practice field from the free area of ​​the village. .

When he came to the training ground, he found that someone had already taken the lead.

The other party has long cherry-colored hair and a box lunch in his hand.

It's Sakura.

"Sakura, good morning."

While yawning, Naruto walked over weakly and started to say hello to Sakura's back.

"Good morning... Naruto, are you going to stay up late again?"

Seeing Naruto's listless appearance, Sakura turned around with dissatisfaction on her face.

"I can't help it. Recently, I have been dragged by the lecherous immortal to practice body skills with him, so I have no time to rest... It sounds ugly, but it is actually a beating. When I think about it, my body still hurts."

Naruto patted his cheek hard, trying to refresh himself.

Hearing Naruto's explanation, Sakura's expression softened.

During the time she received Tsunade's strict training, Naruto was not simply wasting time, but also followed behind another Sannin, doing very strict training.

Based on Naruto's hard work and the cheating practice of shadow avatars, Sakura estimated that Naruto's strength should have grown a lot compared to a few months ago.

"Sakura, hasn't the new captain of our squad come yet?"

Naruto looked around and found that there was no third person except himself and Sakura.

"I haven't seen anyone else, so I probably haven't come over yet. After all, there's still half an hour before the meeting time. You don't have to worry too much, Naruto."

Sakura took out the small alarm clock that she brought with her, glanced at the time on it, and calmed down.

Since January and February this year, many teams have resumed work, started taking tasks and earning rewards.

However, there are also a lot of teams that are still in a state of waiting to attack. Due to various reasons, they cannot receive their rewards smoothly and still need to wait for time. The seventh team is one of them.

First, because the seventh squad lacks two members, it is impossible to form a standard team that goes out to perform tasks. If you take the task directly, it is easy to cause frequent accidents due to the lack of personnel. Second, there is no Shangnin to lead, only two sub-groups exist, and even the deployment is a very big problem.

In view of these two points, when the rest of the teams have already participated in the mission, the seventh squad can only stay in the village and wait for orders.

It wasn't until yesterday afternoon that I was informed that a new Jōnin would be arranged above, who would serve as the guide for the seventh class, and would be the part-time captain. And under the leadership of Shinjoin, you can go to the Hokage Building to receive tasks.

Naruto and Sakura, who heard the news, were both excited.

Although it is not bad to keep burying their heads in cultivation, but instead of blindly burying their heads and working hard, they also want to test their own growth through tasks, how is it compared to the previous year.

They were looking forward to it.

"Speaking of which, what kind of person will the new captain be?"

Naruto tilted his head to explore this question.

"I don't know, but he should be an excellent Joinin."

Sakura didn't know who the new captain of their seventh class was, so she could only answer like this.

"Hopefully she is a gentle beauty, just like Teacher Hong."

Naruto began to fantasize.

"Naruto...don't think about such disgusting things."

Sakura looked at Naruto contemptuously, from his mind, he really couldn't think of anything serious.

At this moment, a voice suddenly intervened:

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, I'm not a beauty."

Hearing this sentence, Naruto and Sakura turned their faces and looked at the person who came.

It's a man, wearing the uniform of Konoha Jōnin, and wearing a protective ninja forehead on his forehead. He is about twenty-six or seven years old... How can I say that the smile on his face is a kind of creepy. A gentle smile gives the impression that it is quite subtle.

This man is Tianzang.

In Anbu directly under Hokage, the elite Joinin is the leader of the division.

As soon as he came here, his eyes swept over Naruto inadvertently, then he stood still in front of the two and smiled slightly.

"You are……"

Naruto and Sakura looked at him in surprise.

"From today onwards, I will be the supervisor of your seventh class, the part-time captain. As for the name..." Tianzang, who was standing in front of the two, paused and continued: "You call me Yamato. , or you can call me Yamato Captain, or Yamato Sensei."

"Yawa? What a weird name."

Compared to Naruto's strangeness, Sakura thought that the name Yamato was probably a pseudonym.

Because of the way the other party paused just now, she felt that the other party had concealed her true identity.

"If that's the case, then I'll come and introduce myself. My name is Naruto Uzumaki. My favorite food is Ichira Ramen. My dream in the future is to become a Hokage!"

Naruto opened his mouth to introduce himself to Tianzang as if he wanted to activate himself.

Tianzang nodded in approval, and seemed to recognize Naruto's self-introduction, without the slightest impatience.

Sometimes, the team really needs an active person.

"It's my turn next. I'm Haruno Sakura. I'm good at medical ninjutsu... I'm also learning how to use Taijutsu to fight. Please give me more advice, Captain Yamato."

Compared with Naruto's introduction, Sakura's introduction is more formal, and it also briefly and comprehensively explains his advantages as a ninja, instead of just talking about his own preferences and dreams like Naruto.

"Your introduction is very good, I probably understand your situation."

Tianzang continued to nod and praised the behavior of the two.

But in fact, even if the two did not introduce themselves, he knew the information of the seventh class well.

"In order to celebrate the establishment of the new seventh class, I have accepted a B-level task to train your hands."

Tian Zang smiled.

"B-level mission?" Hearing Tianzang's words, Naruto's eyes suddenly lit up: "Is it true, Captain Yamato?"

Naruto's enthusiasm is beyond Tianzo's expectations, and in the information, he is a ninja who is simple and easy to understand, but occasionally has miraculous consciousness operations.

There is no way to speculate with common sense.

"Yes, it's a B-level mission."

"Great!" Naruto was so excited that he almost jumped up, completely motivated by the gimmick of the B-level mission.

In contrast, Sakura was much calmer.

"Captain Yamato, I would like to ask, what is the content of the B-level mission..."

Under the anticipation or apprehension of the two of them, Tianzang smiled slowly: "The content is very simple, you all use your full strength to fight with me. In order to improve the cooperation of the team, I need to actually understand the fighting ability of the two of you!"

◎

The land of fire, the famous palace.

Located in the center of the capital city of the Kingdom of Fire, Damingfu is a city within a city.

Tsunade, who came to the gate of the city in the city, raised his head and looked at the magnificent and tall city wall in front of him, and couldn't help but smile with emotion.

"It's been a long time since I came here. No matter how long it has passed, the city walls here are still as magnificent as ever."

Beside her, Lu Jiu was the only one accompanying her, and when he heard Tsunade's sigh, he smiled and said, "No matter what, it's also the mansion where the daimyo lives, and in terms of the prosperity here, even our Konoha can't find it. It can be reached. The only one that can surpass this is the city of Ziyuan in the land of ghosts.”

"That's not necessarily the case. According to my on-the-spot investigation, the country of ghosts is not only the center city of Ziyuan City."

Tsunade meant something.

Lu Jiu silently remembered it in his heart and did not refute.

Compared with Tsunade, who has been out and about all the year round, the information he has obtained may be a little behind for the outside world.

On the bright side, only Tsunade, Hokage, and Shikahisa as a follower were the only people who came to visit Daimyo this time.

But in the dark, there is another team of Anbu, a total of seventeen elite ninjas quietly hiding in the surrounding hidden corners, always protecting the safety of Tsunade and Shikahisa.

Entering the mansion where the daimyo was located, there was already a waiter waiting in front of him, receiving Tsunade and Shikahisa, and leading them to meet the daimyo.

Tsunade had no intention of appreciating the scenery along the way, she was full of thoughts, what was the important thing to discuss when the daimyo invited herself over at this time.

It is absolutely impossible for her to come over to recount the past, and after the final process of Hokage's succession, she must have other intentions.

Thinking like this, I followed the waiter.

Soon, the waiter took her and Lu Jiu to a relatively secluded courtyard.

Around this courtyard, samurai with a large number of swords are strictly guarding the entrance and exit, scanning the surroundings with sharp eyes like falcons, not letting go of any corner.

In the dark, there are still an unknown number of ninjas surrounding the place and turning the yard into an iron barrel, which further improves the security and privacy of the yard.

Seeing the surveillance of such a secret courtyard, Tsunade couldn't help but take heart.

With such a powerful guarding force, this place was surrounded by an airtight 'prison', one can imagine how high the level of secrecy Daimyo has for this meeting with her.

Burning text

But now that he's here, it's impossible to go home again.

In the corridor, the waiter stopped in front of a room door and knelt down on one knee.

Respectfully said to the person in the door:

"Lord Daimyo, Hokage-sama and Mr. Shikaku have already brought them here."

"It's hard work, let's go down."

The old voice unique to the name of the country of fire came from the room. Although the voice was old, the voice was very clear, giving people a feeling of being full of energy.

"Yes."

The waiter stepped back, leaving Tsunade and Shikahisa behind.

After the waiter withdrew, Tsunade took the initiative to step forward and pushed open the door, and at first glance he saw Daimyo of the Land of Fire sitting in the room.

On either side of him, there are additional cushions and tea tables, with tea and refreshments on them, apparently for entertaining distinguished guests.

"Young, it's been a long time, Tsunade, no, I should call you Hokage now. I heard that Konoha's life has been steaming up under your guidance recently. Sun Zhan is even better~www.readwn.com~ The moment Tsunade came in, the fire country daimyo opened his folding fan and smiled with his face half-covered.

"You are too good, Your Excellency, compared to the teacher, I have many shortcomings as a Hokage."

In the face of such polite words, Tsunade has long been accustomed to it, so it is very natural to accept the words of praise from the great name of the country of fire.

The famous name of the Kingdom of Fire smiled, not caring about Tsunade's modesty, but just waved his fan and motioned for the two to sit down.

Tsunade had to obey the other party's wishes and sat down. The old fox!

Lu Jiu also followed, but as the squad leader of Shangnin, he could only sit at the back of Tsunade, with Tsunade at the head.

"Although I also want to take care of you alone, Tsunade, and celebrate your becoming the fifth Hokage, but the rest of the guests arrived yesterday, and they can't wait. Therefore, the banquet of taking in the wind and cleaning the dust will wait until the event is over. Host it for you."

After Tsunade sat down, the famous name of the country of fire frowned.

Tsunade looked at the other party's embarrassed expression that he didn't know whether it was true or not, and he didn't reveal it. People sitting in this position naturally couldn't be easily guessed by others.

"guest?"

Compared with the so-called banquet, she is more interested in the "guests" in the words of the fire country daimyo.

The name of the country of fire smiled mysteriously, and before he had time to speak, a voice came over first, with a bit of bad ridicule.

"It's really a nobleman forgetting things, Princess Tsunade. The old man has been waiting here for a long time."

The sound entered Tsunade's ears seriously, and her expression suddenly changed, she turned her head, and looked in the direction of the sound source.

Then Tsunade's eyes widened instantly, as if she saw something, which surprised her very much.

"The two-day scale... Onogi!?"
