Chapter 235 Are You Still Wasting Time Here?
"Sunagakure's people have already arrived, how can we explain to them?" Danzo asked with a gloomy face, "Does it mean that Konoha no longer has the qualifications to be an alliance?"
"Konoha's status and value do not depend on the Nine-Tails." Tsunade tapped her forehead on the table and emphasized, "When did the Nine-Tails become Konoha's strategic weapon?"
"Whether it was before or now, my opinion has never changed." She spoke loudly, and her beautiful eyes scanned the four seats, "Kyuubi is always just a sealed tailed beast."
Due to Tsunade's pressure, the two advisors and Danzo also fell silent. The granddaughter of the first generation, she is very tough when speaking. Who asked her grandfather to distribute tailed beasts one by one back then.
I couldn't afford to argue, so I simply changed the topic.
"What about Sunagakure?"
"What should we do?" Tsunade stood up impatiently, leaving everyone behind, "What to do, what to do, if the alliance is dissolved because of a mere tailed beast, there will be no hope for Konoha."
With that said, Tsunade stepped on her high heels and left.
"This mark is a bit special." Naruto was in the secret room repairing the second-generation space ninja tool and pondering for a long time, "Isn't it a random teleportation?"
"Damn it, if it's randomly teleported, doesn't that mean you have to test it over and over again? The problem is that you can't come back after it's been teleported!"
He scratched his head, feeling depressed.
He almost didn't go out in the past two days, just staying in this secret room. He and Jiraiya agreed to take about ten days, and now it's been two days and they still set off.
If it drags on any longer, the only way to get to the Land of Snow is to get out of the boat and go to the sea.
"What junk thing the Nidaime tinkered with can't be made better." He complained and kicked the ninja tool, but the ninja tool started to turn like a tractor.
"No way?" Naruto's eyes widened slightly and he took two steps back.
In the secret room, the clanging sound continued for a while, and finally stopped. The broken copper and iron of Dongdongdong rotated for a while, leaving the repaired Flying Thunder God's mark shining there.
With a crash, the door was opened, and Shizune, the secretary in black stockings, walked in and asked.
"How's it going? Is it fixed?"
"No." Naruto sighed and whispered, "It will take some time, maybe a day or two."
"Then continue to practice. I will come every day. If you need anything, just tell me." Shizune smiled. "Don't be too anxious. You can spend more time cultivating."
"The mission to the Land of Rain can be postponed. Master Jiraiya and Master Tsunade will help speak."
"Huh?" Naruto noticed something was wrong and asked with a frown, "Why did you suddenly let go? Did something happen?"
"It's nothing," Shizune said. "Tsunade-sama announced the news that Konoha no longer has the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki. There has been a lot of noise in all aspects."
"Tsunade-sama means that this is Konoha's internal mismanagement and has nothing to do with you. If the ninja tool is successfully repaired, you can go to the Snow Country to perform the mission first."
This is to let him avoid the limelight, which is clear.
Naruto thought for a while, although he wanted to do something for Tsunade. But when I thought about the Snow Kingdom mission and the more important Rain Kingdom mission, I decided to finish it first, so I nodded and said.
"okay, I get it."
"Well, I'll go first." Shizune waved her hand.
The public opinion outside and the pressure facing Konoha have nothing to do with him for the time being. He knows very well that Tsunade and Jiraiya are more capable than him. As long as the two are still in Konoha, Konoha will not be able to overturn the world.
Another day passed and there was still no progress in the repair process.
On the fourth day, Naruto corrected the coordinates and finally teleported a paper ball. The approximate location is locked in the Kingdom of Rain, or possibly the Kingdom of Grass.
At the same time, a ball of paper fell lightly from the high tower where Payne was located, and was soon wetted by the rain.
Pain Tiandao raised his head, flew into the rain curtain, and caught the paper ball. He unfolded it in his hand and wrote a few few notes.
"I'm Danzo. I'm going to your house tonight."
With a snap, the wet ball of paper was thrown out. Flying into the rain, falling from a tall tower, he soon fell to the ground and disappeared and dissolved.
Day five.
A rabbit fell over the Land of Grass, a live fish fell over the Land of Yu, and a chicken fell over the Hidden Cloud Village. Scenes of animals falling from the sky are repeated in various places, but do not attract much attention.
Yunyin Village.
The fourth Raikage Ai was sitting in the Raikage's office, listening to Daru Yin's story about a chicken, and suddenly became angry.
With a bang, Ai couldn't bear it and hammered the desk hard.
"I'm asking about the news about Konoha's Nine-Tails. Are you telling me the story of a chicken? The world is so big, what's the matter with a chicken falling from the sky? What a fuss!"
"Sorry, there is no more news at the moment." Daruyin said nervously, "Our people have been sent to the Konoha border to investigate the truth. We will report the results when we have them."
With a snap, the Fourth Raikage Ai slapped his forehead with a very painful expression.
"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense from now on."
"Where are Samyi and the others? You should also go to the border to see and put some pressure on Konoha."
"Yes." Daruyin walked out of the office.
Raikage Ai sat back in the office chair and rubbed his temples painfully. Since the death of the fourth generation of Konoha, he has become the fastest man in the shinobi world.
The Kingdom of Thunder is located overseas, and Yunyin Village is even more isolated from the world.
As one of the five great ninja villages, Cloud Hidden Village is actually quite powerful, probably only slightly weaker than Konoha. It has two tailed beasts, and both of its two tails and eight tails can transform into tailed beasts.
This means that having two mobile tailed beast jade cannons has a certain deterrent effect on all major countries. But compared to Konoha Nine-Tails, it is still inferior.
Now that Kyuubi disappeared, it was a blow to Konoha. But for Yunyin Village, it is an opportunity, an opportunity to become bigger and stronger.
The Kage of the Five Great Ninja Villages, Raikage Ai is an ambitious man.
As time goes by, Konoha gradually declines, and the ninjas who run rampant in the ninja world disappear one by one. On the other hand, under his leadership, Kumogakure Village has overcome the predicament of nepotism and nepotism that existed during the Third Raikage Ai era.
Konoha was in decline, and Kumogakure was slowly rising. He believed that the ninja world needed a more powerful voice, and that voice was destined to come from Kumogakure.
Lei Yingai stood up, walked to the window, and looked out at the top of the sea of clouds.
"After finding out the true and false, put some pressure on Konoha. Even the legendary Sannin is a thing of the past. The tailed beast Jinchuriki doesn't know how to develop it. It's really a cruel thing."
Day six.
"Aren't you going to live again?" Shizune was about to cry without tears, grabbing his shoulders and breaking down, "Do you know how many live chickens I caught for you in the past two days?"
"Thirty-five! A total of thirty-five! There are also live fish, more than 40 of them, so slippery that I feel sick to my stomach when I see the fish."
Naruto could only scratch his head and laugh. It was indeed inappropriate to let the beautiful medical director catch his chicken in person, but...
"Sister Shizune, didn't you say that I need your help?" Naruto said, "Besides, I have a small favor that I need to ask Sister Shizune to help me with."
"Even though I say this, I don't want to catch chickens or fish anymore." Shizune's face turned pale.
"I've fixed it. I don't have to catch fish anymore." He lowered his head and said with some embarrassment.
"What is that?" Shizune was stunned for a moment and asked.
"Sister Shizune, can you bring over the mission client, Fuji Kazue? I'm going to start the mission." Naruto rubbed his chin and said, "It's best to bring over my fox dog."
Fenghua Xiaoxue spent the past few days hiding in the busy tavern and getting drunk. Listening to the rumors circulating around her, she became increasingly upset. She didn't doubt Naruto's strength, she was just worried out of instinct.
"What on earth did I say about that fox demon brat? He brought bad luck to the village, and now he says he is not the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki." A group of people in the tavern were boasting drunkenly.
"What else could happen? It must be another smoke bomb from the Hokage Building gang."
"If you say that kid is innocent, I won't believe it to death." One person said with a loud tongue, "What are you doing living with such a terrifying thing in your body?"
"You guys! Don't go too far!" Fenghua Xiaoxue couldn't stand it anymore and smashed a cup with a bang.
As an actor, she knows better than anyone how harmful rumors can be to a person. No matter how powerful a person is, he will be completely wounded by rumors.
She has seen too many situations like that.
It was precisely because of this that she felt bored. No matter how powerful Naruto is, he is still essentially a young boy, and his status does not seem to be very high.
"Excessive? What is too much?" A drunken man pulled out a chair and walked towards Fenghua Xiaoxue, "Why do you look so familiar to me?"
"You shouldn't be from this village, right? Why are people from other villages meddling in other people's business?"
"She looks like some kind of celebrity!"
"What? Are you drunk? You're out of your mind. She's a celebrity. She's obviously a crazy woman. What do we think has to do with her?"
Fenghua Xiaoxue looked at the people approaching and suddenly woke up. She touched the self-defense bracelet spray and swallowed nervously while retreating.
With a crash, the curtain in the tavern behind him was opened.
A slender figure walked in. Fenghua Xiaoxue's eyes were dazzled. It took her eyes a while to adjust to the flash of light. Turning around to look carefully, I was suddenly a little surprised.
It was a female ninja, wearing an animal mask, purple hair, and carrying a short sword behind her back. When I first glanced around at everyone when I came in, I saw that the uniforms of ANBU ninjas were extremely oppressive.
The bustling drunken crowd immediately shut their mouths, the ANBU group of lunatics.
"Princess Fengyun?"
The other party called out her character's name, and it was someone who had seen the movie, but I guess it was true. The Princess of the Wind movie is still very popular within the Fire Nation.
"Yes." Fenghua Xiaoxue forced herself to stand up, her hangover making her a little unsteady.
Mao Yue Xiyan breathed a sigh of relief, showed a piece of paper with a swipe, and said seriously.
"This is your mission order. Konoha's top brass, Uzumaki Naruto, has officially accepted your mission and informs you to follow me to the Hokage Building as soon as possible to start the mission."
"High-level officials of Konoha? What?" Fenghua Xiaoxue was stunned. She stood there for a long time and asked again with some uncertainty, "You mean high-level officials of Konoha?"
"Yes." Maoyue Xiyan said, glancing at the circle of drunken men. "Internal information has been made public at 8 o'clock this morning."
"Are you still wasting time here, Princess Fengyun? The mission is about to begin."
