Chapter 164: Can’t Learn
“The Daimyo of Wave Country is dead?”
Konoha, Hokage's office, the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, had just received the news of the death of the Daimyo of Wave Country. She was surprised, but she didn't take it to heart.
Daimyo and ninja are more like people from two different worlds.
Even if you go to mourn, it's the Fire Nation's business, and it's not the turn of ninja villages like them.
“It’s really useless that he died from excessive drinking.”
Tsunade, who grew up in a wine jar since she was a child, was very disdainful of the way the Daimyo of Wave Country died.
When it comes to vegetables, don’t hold on.
After commenting, Tsunade was about to reveal the matter.
Shizune, the assistant on the side, reminded: "Tsunade-sama, it's not over yet. The Country of Fire hopes that Konoha will send a team of ninjas to protect the envoy who is about to go to the Country of Waves to mourn. The reward for this mission has been delivered to the village. "
“That’s it.”
Since it was business, Tsunade took out a thick roster of ninjas and prepared to select available and suitable ninja candidates.
At this moment, something suddenly occurred to her. She paused her palms and said:
"By the way, didn't Kakashi Ban go to the Land of Waves more than two years ago? He also made quite a name for himself. I've heard about that Naruto Bridge many times."
“So, let Kakashi Ban go to the Land of Waves again?” Hearing Tsunade-sama say this, Shizune immediately understood her plan.
Just Shizune thought for a while, shook her head and said: "Since Kakashi Ban came back from Suoqian Village, Naruto has been practicing hard with the assistance of Yamato Jōnin, and the same is true for your disciple Sakura, Lord Tsunade. During this time period , I’m afraid it’s not easy to disturb them.”
“Penancement?”
Tsunade thought of the depressed and unwilling expressions on Naruto and Sakura's faces when they came back from Suoqian Village some time ago, and even worked hard to improve themselves.
And the person who caused all this, Uchiha Sasuke.
“It looks exactly like Orochimaru back then.”
Same talents and pursuit of power.
In the end, they all chose to rebel against the village, and behind each of them, there were always idiots chasing them, hoping to take them home.
That idiot back then was Jiraiya.
Now, it’s Naruto and Sakura.
Tsunade's feelings towards Orochimaru were very complicated back then. She was not as persistent as Naruto and Sakura, but she could understand their thoughts.
"In that case, let Asimaban go." Tsunade changed her mind and said.
As a former member of the Twelve Guardian Ninja Warriors, Asuma had dealt with many officials from the Land of Fire, and he was a suitable candidate at the moment.
Zhiyin immediately went to inform.
But before that, Tsunade asked:
“How’s it going, Kakashi?”
Kakashi did not lead the team to Suoqian Village because he received another important mission to find the missing Seven-Tailed Jinchuurifu.
Some time ago, Konoha and Suna Ninja held another joint Chunin exam after the Chunin exam that year.
Not only the genin from all major ninja villages participated, but also the Nanao Jinchuurifu from Taki ninja village.
However, after the chuunin exams were over, the departing Nanao Jinchurifu and the two accompanying Taki ninja village jounin did not return to the village, and the three disappeared completely.
Taki Ninja Village noticed something was wrong, and immediately sent people to search. At the same time, they also sent a request to Konoha and Suna Ninja, hoping that they would help find it.
The jinchūriki are at stake.
Konoha did not refuse, so Kakashi was asked to replace Kurenai, who was on maternity leave, and lead Team 8, who was good at tracking, to investigate the Seven-Tails Jinchuuriki.
Counting the days, half a month has passed.
Shizune was about to shake her head, indicating that she hadn't received the message yet.
At this time, a ninja from the intelligence class arrived quickly and handed over Kakashi's latest mission report.
“The place where the Seven-Tailed Jinchuuriki last disappeared has been found. There are many traces of battle on the field. After judgment, the Seven-Tailed Jinchuuriki side was defeated.”
Tsunade opened the scroll, glanced at it quickly, and frowned quickly.
The Seven-Tails Jinchuuriki was actually defeated?
And finally. "According to the investigation, it is suspected that a person in a black-and-red-cloud uniform appears near the place where the Nanao Jinchurifu disappeared."

“Xiao?”
Tsunade frowned tightly.
In the past two years, the Xiao organization has become much more settled.
I thought the other party would continue to be content, but unexpectedly, it showed its edge now.
Unsurprisingly, the Seven-Tailed Jinchuuriki has fallen into their hands.
Think again of the Suozeng Village where the entire village has been evacuated, and the Hagoromo clan, the remnants of the Uchiha, and Hagoromo Genzuki behind it.
Tsunade looked out the window.
The sky is blue, the sun is shining, it looks like a good day.
But far away, the troubled days of thunder and lightning and dark clouds may be approaching.
“It’s time to contact Jiraiya.” Tsunade quickly decided.
In addition, she glanced in the direction of the training ground.
“Naruto, grow up quickly.”
Tsunade did not tell anyone else.
From Naruto, she not only saw the silhouettes of Dan and Naoki, but also felt similar qualities to her grandfather from him.
She has no doubt about Naruto's future achievements.
The only worry is whether there is enough time.
"drink!!"
At the training ground, hundreds of Naruto's shadow clones cheered for themselves. After cheering themselves up, they held leaves one by one with both hands and continued to practice the wind attribute chakra with serious expressions.
“Sharp! Thin! Tear!”
Thinking of the characteristics of wind and the powerful destructive power called "Wind Release: Spiral Shuriken" in the hands of Hagoromo Genzuki, who was still a filthy earth body at that time, Naruto, who had a clear goal, began to practice with the help of the multi-shadow clone technique. Very quickly.
“Although I have seen it many times, I am still shocked every time I see it.”
On the side, Yamato sighed as he watched all this.
He witnessed with his own eyes Naruto's rapid progress in wind attribute chakra, and even knew the method, but he couldn't do it.
Not only him, but no one in the ninja world can do it.
Hundreds of shadow clones practice together. When the shadow clone ends, hundreds of memories and fatigue pour into the main body. Others would have been overwhelmed and died suddenly.
Even Hagoromo Genzuki, to be honest, would not be able to come over and over again like Naruto without showing any signs of fatigue.
When he usually practices and researches, he rarely uses shadow clones.
Although the efficiency will be improved temporarily by doing this, it will lead to multiple times of fatigue and multiple times of rest time afterwards.
After all calculations, the overall efficiency is not much faster than practicing alone.
It’s not just him.
In the entire ninja world, there are so many ninjas who know the art of shadow clones, but no one has ever seen anyone use shadow clones to speed up their practice.
Naruto is the only one.
"What an exaggeration! Is this the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki?"
Yamato can only think so.
He didn't know that the reason why Naruto could do this without any scruples was not only because of the Nine Tails, but also because of the whirlpool physique, and most importantly, Asura's reincarnation.
There is no way, the immortal human body is just too buggy.
“Sasuke!!”
With waves of inner cries, Naruto, who had unknowingly carried the hopes of many people, began to practice hard day after day as he shouted "Sasuke".
Dark clouds and sunshine, moving forward simultaneously from this moment on.
