92 TO THE COUNTRY OF TEA

We returned to the village, Kakashi then gave the mission report to Tsunade which dumbfounded her. Tsunade instantly called Scarlet to Hokage's office. Tsunade then personally asked Scarlet everything that happened in the mission. Scarlet then told everything to Tsunade, she did not hide about her forming an Organization as Tsunade was her master.

Tsunade's mood was like a roller coaster ride after she heard what happened. On one hand, she was happy that Scarlet became the princess of the land of snow, on the other hand, she was worried about Scarlet. Scarlet nearly killed 150 people in the previous mission, even though Yukie tried to suppress the news, the big people of the other shinobi villages might have already received the news.

Due to this Scarlet's reputation will increase but she will also become the target of other villages and have a bounty on her head. Tsunade asked Scarlet to go back and was thinking of a solution to this problem.

The village needed more funds in order to recover from the damage so Tsunade sent most of the jonin for missions. Suddenly she received an important mission from her acquaintance Mr Jurochou. After understanding the difficulty she had to assign the mission to team seven because of their superior number and due to the performance of scarlet in the last mission.

Tsunade then assigned the mission to Team seven. Soon the members of team seven were notified and they arrived to take the mission. All of them were excited to receive a new mission.

Sakura: I don't see Kakashi sensei anywhere.

Naruto: Is he going to be late again, as usual?

Tsunade suddenly interrupts \"No, Kakashi won't be coming\"

Seeing Tsunade coming Naruto shouts \"Grandma Tsunade\"

Tsunade replied \"Don't call me Grandma, why don't you call me Aunt Tsunade Scarlet does\"

Sakura asks Tsunade \"Hokage sama why is Kakashi sensei not coming for the mission\"

Tsunade replies \"As you know Kakashi and other jonin are on a different mission, so this time we are having the four of you do the mission. It is a B-rank mission which is to guard an important person. Of course, depending on the situation it can also be turned into an A-rank mission. Scarlet will be the team leader for this mission\"

Sasuke asks Tsunade \"So who do we need to guard?\"

Tsunade replies \"No idea\"

Naruto asks \"What do you mean by no idea?\"

Tsunade tells about the mission \"In the allied Country of Tea, there is an event called Todoroki Taisha dedication ceremony held once in every four years. We have accepted a mission to guard the runner who will run in the race at that ceremony. However, the messengers were defeated by the opponent's spy before they arrived here.\"

Sakura says \"Well, I still don't understand the point here?\"

Tsunade says \"Well for further details, go ask Mr Jurochou of the Country of Tea.\"

Scarlet asks \"You mean the one we met while gambling?\"

Tsunade replies \"Yeah that one, now that you understand hurry up and leave as you need to arrive at the Country of Tea today itself.\"

Soon Scarlet and others travelled towards the Country of Tea and arrived there by late afternoon.

Naruto asked \"Nee-chan, are you feeling hungry?\"

Scarlet \"A little\"

Naruto replied \"There is a Tea shop ahead, let's go and take a break there\"

At Konoha,

Tsunade was checking some documents in her office when suddenly Shizune barged as she shouted \"Tsunade sama! Tsunade sama!\"

Tsunade frowned at Shizune as she said \"What is it Shizune\"

Shizune: Tsunade Sama please see this.

She forwarded a paper to Tsunade, Tsunade saw the paper and instantly got up. She said \"Damn it how could this happen? Shizune immediately make the information related to Scarlet's mission confidential.\"

Shizune immediately went out following her orders, unknown to them there was a figure listening to their conversation who just disappeared.

Tsunade again frowns \"Damn it, who did it? Who placed this bounty on Scarlet?\"

She once again looks at the paper given by Shizune, on the paper, there was a picture of Scarlet with a bounty of 15 million Ryo.

At the root base,

The figure who disappeared after listening to Tsunade's conversation appeared before a gloomy man who had his bandages on his forehead, left eye and left arm.

He said \"Danzo sama everything happened as you planned\"

Danzo said \"Good, now send three root ninja to rescue her after she is injured. After that, she will be one of us.\"

He said \"Danzo sama are you sure she would join us, she the Hokage's disciple\"

Danzo replied \"If it was before I would not be so anxious for her but in her last mission she killed nearly 150 people, she also has hyoton and she is also jinjuriki of nine tails. If she joins us then no one will be able to stop, me from achieving my dreams\"

He asked, \"But Lord Hokage will definitely not agree with you, not to mention that if Scarlet finds out that you were the one who put the bounty on her she will definitely take revenge on you.\"

Danzo says \"I will handle Tsunade with the help of Homura and Koharu. As for Scarlet finding out, once I put the seal mark on her she will be my slave.\"

After saying this Danzo laughs arrogantly, his laughter resounds in the root base.
