Chapter 627 Chips

"This is the result of the pursuit?"

On the second day, in the special ward of Konoha Hospital, Tsunade, who had led Anbe back to the village, rushed here at the first time. What he saw was Naruto, who had lost an arm and was lying unconscious on the hospital bed. His face was definitely not good-looking.

Leaving aside the failure of the pursuit mission, during the pursuit process, not only did the tailed beast go berserk, but Naruto, who is Jinchuriki, suffered such a severe trauma... Tsunade couldn't help but sighed out of helplessness or disappointment.

Tianzang in the ward is naturally full of guilt. At this time, no excuses can be used to hide his dereliction of duty.

For example, it would be too irresponsible for Jonin to put the blame on the reason that the enemy is too strong.

"Well, you can't say that. After all, most of this batch of Anbu are newcomers without years of experience. After two years, maybe the situation will be much better."

It was Jiraiya who rescued Tianzang.

At this time, his abdomen and arms were wrapped with bandages, and his face looked a little pale. It was obvious that he had experienced a fierce battle with someone not long ago.

The opponent in the fierce battle is naturally Naruto who has entered a state of rampage.

The power of the nine tails in the state of five tails, combined with his Sannin who arrived in time, and Tianzang's wood escape ninjutsu, barely suppressed it.

Fortunately, Naruto's gossip sealing technique is relatively complete. Even if his emotions break out out of control and reach the level of five tails, it is almost Naruto's limit.

If this is not the case, things may turn out to be the same as fourteen years ago. Only after heavy losses can Nine Tails be suppressed again.

"I just said it casually. It's a blessing in misfortune that the worst result didn't happen."

Tsunade glanced at Jiraiya.

The power of Nine Tails, she is the most clear of Hokage.

In her childhood, she basically grew up under the care of her grandmother Uzumaki Mito, the number one person in Konoha Nine Tails Jinchuriki.

I have heard a lot of anecdotes about Kyuubi.

As the only tailed beast that lives in Konoha among the nine tailed beasts, it is also the most powerful existence among the tailed beasts. The power of the nine tailed beasts has always been synonymous with natural disasters in the grandmother's retelling.

Ordinary sealing techniques cannot suppress Nine Tails at all. Similarly, as a sealed container, Renzhuli has extremely harsh conditions.

If something really happened to Naruto, then Konoha couldn't find another Uzumaki clansman who could accommodate Nine Tails.

After all, Naruto is only fourteen years old, and has not yet left any heirs to inherit the blood of the Uzumaki clan. If this only Uzumaki heir is lost, Konoha may lose control of Nine Tails.

This is very fatal to Konoha.

Considering that the little girl named Hinata from the Hinata clan seems to be interested in Naruto... In the future, maybe I can also consider it.

Just the identity of the clan, it will be a great trouble.

"Yeah, but it was a blessing in disguise. I arrived at the battlefield later. According to Tianzang, Naruto seemed to have killed Chiba Shiraishi's psychic beast that could use Thunderbolt when he was in a berserk state. It can be regarded as defeating one of the opponent's generals."

Zilai also said with a smile.

There have been various good news that are not good for Konoha these days, and now some of the haze above the head has finally been lifted.

The thunder ninja beast, which resembles a cub, is so strong that even an elite johnin at the level of Tianzang is difficult to deal with alone. To be able to break it, for Konoha, it is undoubtedly good news that can be used to encourage people.

It's a bit tragic to say this, the ninja beast that was accidentally killed by Naruto is the highest level of Konoha's ability to destroy the kingdom of ghosts.

"But now the medical department has almost stopped functioning, plus the loss of a vice president... It is not that simple to choose a successor."

Tsunade was troubled by this.

If it is purely based on medical ability, the silence brought out by myself is not inferior to Asami Masumi, and her medical ability is definitely qualified.

However, the position of vice president not only requires excellent medical ability, qualifications and management are equally important.

Different from the "gold-plated" medical ninja like Shizune, Asami Masumi is a real medical ninja who has stepped up to a high position step by step.

From the most grass-roots medical ninja, then joined the pharmacy department, then entered the drug development team as the team leader, deputy director of the pharmacy department, and then continued to become a full-time employee...and finally won the position of vice president of Konoha. Over the past twenty years, the management experience and reputation accumulated by the other party are far beyond the reach of a junior like Jing Yin.

Let Jing Yin manage the pharmacy department, she has already been under a lot of pressure... If Jing Yin continues to be promoted in the medical department, it will be impossible to do it within a few years.

And the result of the forced promotion may make many staff in the medical department dissatisfied with her as Hokage, such as bad rumors that public and private are not separated.

In this way, it will not be so easy to hold the medical department in your hands.

Zilai also expressed helplessness.

There are quite a few junin in the village who can use medical ninjutsu, but they are either not capable, or have insufficient qualifications and management capabilities. It is very difficult to find an existence comparable to Asami Masumi in the huge medical department.

"Forget it, it's useless to talk to you old pervert. Did you bring Naruto's severed arm back?"

Tsunade asked the real question.

Losing an arm will greatly reduce the strength of the ninja.

Especially for a ninja like Naruto who can't make one-handed seals, if one arm is permanently lost, the reduction in strength will be visible to the naked eye.

"I have already brought it back. Don't worry about this. I heard from Boss Fukasaku that before his death, the Great Toad Immortal put the Immortal Talisman from Mount Miaomu in Naruto's body. If there is a life crisis, the Immortal Talisman will automatically take effect."

Jirai also said so.

"Amulet of Immortal? Is that thing inside Naruto?"

Tsunade took a breath, looking slightly shocked.

As for this secret treasure that can bring the dead back to life, she had seen it with her own eyes back then.

"After all, he is the son of prophecy, and the Great Toad Immortal has placed all his hopes on him. That thing can only be activated after signing a contract with Miaomu Mountain. Even if outsiders get it, they cannot use it."

Zilai also expressed emotion, in his opinion, this is the only possibility.

"in addition"

Speaking of this, Jilai also looked hesitant.

"What else?"

"I want to ask you one thing, which has to do with Perfect Inchuriki."

"Perfect Jinchuriki?"

Tsunade was taken aback.

"Yes, I heard that the fourth generation of Mizukage Yakura of Kirigakure Village can perfectly control the power of the tailed beast. If you can get the perfect jinchuriki training method from him, then you can solve the problem of Naruto's nine-tailed rampage once and for all."

Tsunade made this suggestion.

"I will consider it, but it's best not to have too high expectations for this kind of thing."

The secret of the perfect Renzhuli cultivation method is too amazing. The country or village that masters this technology will never disclose it to outsiders.

The power of the tailed beast is already amazing, if it is perfectly controlled, it will be tantamount to causing trouble for its own people in disguise.

The Fourth Mizukage does not seem like a benevolent ninja.

After a few words of care, Tsunade glanced at the comatose Naruto's face, considering that Naruto still needs to rest at this time, and the operation to connect the broken arm should be done after he wakes up, so he left the ward with Tianzang.

She still has some questions to ask Tianzang for clarification.

In the corridor, there was only the sound of her and Tianzang walking.

"Are you sure? The identity of the Haruno family's spy?"

Tsunade left the ward, his face became extremely gloomy, as if water was dripping, and there was a manic and restless breath agitating all over his body.

Tianzang was terrified by this, but he had no choice but to tell the truth: "Yes, the identity of the Haruno couple as spies has been basically confirmed. But Sakura... Haruno Sakura, she should not be a spy. She left Konoha because she was held hostage by her parents, and she didn't act spontaneously."

Tianzang also felt extremely sorry for this.

Even if I am used to betrayal and conspiracy, when I think of the students who have been together for nearly a year, their parents will be spies from the kingdom of ghosts, and I will also fall into the hands of the kingdom of ghosts at this time. The result after that is not difficult to guess.

It is true that everyone in Muye Village has a very deep bond with the village.

But the kinship that blood is thicker than water is not inferior to this kind of bond, and because of the blood relationship, the bond between the village and the villagers, in many cases, cannot be compared with the blood kinship of family.

If Haruno and his wife firmly stand on the side of the Oni Nation, even if Sakura's heart is for Konoha, she will have to consider her parents' position in the end and fall into the embrace of the Oni Nation.

Rather, this possibility is very high.

"I see."

From the tone of his voice, he couldn't hear Tsunade's joy or anger, so he just nodded lightly.

However, Tianzang understood that Tsunade must be quite annoyed in his heart at this time.

Just like he lost an excellent subordinate who he could trust, Tsunade also lost a student with a bright future.

And also took away the unique forbidden technique system that she created.

If those secrets fall into the hands of the high-level officials in the Kingdom of Demons...

Tianzang thought that in this war, among the information that kept coming back, some ninjas from the ghost country not only awakened Mu Dun's blood succession limit, but also mastered the forbidden technique originally recorded in the Konoha Seal Book, which shined brilliantly in their hands. It troubled the Konoha ninja who encountered them.

Originally used to deal with foreign enemies, the forbidden art and blood succession limit, but now the allied army Ninja Village headed by Konoha has suffered a lot.

Although he understood this point, Tianzang could only bury it in his heart.

At this time, it is not happy to find Hokage, and it is really an act that deserves a beating.

I just hope that in the future, the ninjas in the kingdom of ghosts will not see the ability belonging to Tsunade.

"Concerning the cause and effect of this incident, summarize a report and submit it to me. Go on."

Tsunade walked to the wall, and seemed to have signs of being uncontrollable. He pressed his brows tightly, and felt a headache.

"yes."

Tianzang heaved a sigh of relief.

Before leaving here completely, there was a sudden bang behind him, and the whole building seemed to vibrate. Hearing the explosion, Tianzang's body also trembled, his heart beat faster, and he left even faster.

You don't need to think about it, but this Hokage-sama must have greeted all the high-level people in the kingdom of ghosts in his heart.

As Tsunade and Tenzo expected, at this time Sakura had woken up from a coma.

She didn't know what happened when she was in a coma, and she didn't know that she was only a thin line away from death, and walked before the gate of hell.

But what is known is that she is now on a warship of the Kingdom of Ghosts sailing in the sea.

The warship is sailing in the direction of the west port of the ghost country, and will arrive at the western port city of the ghost country on time in the morning about three days later.

Of course, the point is not this matter.

What she couldn't accept, and what made her brain extremely confused, was that her parents... no, more precisely, it was her father, Haruno Ouji, who was a spy planted in Konoha by the kingdom of ghosts.

My mother didn't know about it until later...and her daughter was the last to know about it.

If the man in front of him is not her father and has an inseparable blood relationship, Xiao Sakura really wants to twist his neck lightly, so that the other party's neck will make a crisp sound of bones being twisted.

At the same time, in this separately displayed lounge, she also really looked at this existence called 'Father'.

Such an honest man can actually do such delicate work as a spy... And he has kept it so secretive all these years, even her own daughter, she has not revealed anything.

Honestly speaking, Sakura shouldn't have had any expectations of her 'good-for-nothing' father, but the truth is, this father who has been just a 'good-for-nothing' junin in her eyes since she was a child has really shocked her now.

At least from the outside, the other party doesn't look like a spy at all.

It may be because of this passer-by-like trait that he is more suitable for this dangerous and delicate work.

"I'm sorry, Sakura. Even if you want to beat my father up now, it doesn't matter."

Looking at her father kneeling in front of her, Sakura struggled with a slightly painful expression on her face.

Her chaotic thoughts made it impossible for her to think calmly and rationally.

She is just a fourteen-year-old girl.

Even after two years of ninja career, her experience is definitely not rich compared to those experienced ninjas.

Both outlook on life and values are in an extremely important shaping period.

Especially since entering the ninja school, she has been studying and firmly believing in the will of fire... But now she is told that her parents are spies of the enemy country?

This funny and cruel scene made Sakura stand there dumbfounded, not knowing what expression to make.

If she could beat her father hard, Sakura wouldn't mind beating his father's head into a pig's head.

But the question is, even if you beat your father into a pig's head, will things change?

the answer is negative.

If Konoha had acted faster, maybe even his own arrest warrant would have been issued.

The defection of Hokage's students... This news, just the sound of it, has a somewhat explosive effect in it.

"Get up and tell me everything."

Sakura asked her father to get up, no matter what, this guy is her father.

Whether it's a "trash" Chunin or a so-called spy, the blood is thicker than water, and the family relationship cannot be parted after all.

Looking at the shame and guilt on his father Haruno Zhao's face, Sakura took a deep breath, the majesty on his face was quite like the head of the family.

Powerful strength, the violence that can break a boulder with one fist, even facing the existence of her father, she also has the courage and confidence to face the opponent squarely, instead of just being the daughter of an obedient and following the crowd.

"yes."

Haruno Zhao didn't feel anything wrong.

Fourteen-year-old girls, in this era of extremely low life expectancy, can already start a family and start a business, and they can no longer be treated as children.

Especially if the opponent is a talented ninja, his sense of independence is even stronger.

Want to change their will in a short time, Haruno Zhao is not so naive.

In the past, he was also a Konoha ninja who firmly believed in the will of fire, but due to survival and threats, it took a lot of time before he began to change his will.

Therefore, Haruno Zhao revealed to Sakura the "family history" of their Haruno family's refuge in the kingdom of ghosts.

After listening, Sakura's expression became more complicated.

The matter of Haruno Zhao disrupted all her next arrangements.

According to her next plan, she will improve her medical ability and strange power while growing up with her companions from class 7, so as to contribute to the village in the complicated ninja world in the future.

But now it's better, the Haruno family has been branded with the imprint of the kingdom of ghosts.

She thought of her master Tsunade and her companions in the village, what expressions they would show after learning about this...

Go back?

Sakura began to feel pain and annoyance again.

Honestly speaking, she doesn't have a good impression of the Oni Country, because of the war, most of the Oni Country also has a negative opinion of Konoha's subjective prejudice.

After all, the kingdom of ghosts provoked many small civil wars in the ninja world. In order to stop the violent civil wars in the small countries, Konoha united with other ninja villages to curb the ambitions of the kingdom of ghosts, which is completely justified...

"I want to go back to Konoha."

Sakura stared at Haruno Zhao and said this sentence.

Haruno Zhao glanced at Sakura in embarrassment.

He was indeed wrong in this matter, but letting Sakura go back to Konoha, the consequences would be absolutely disastrous.

"Sakura, the matter of returning to Konoha..."

"I have to go back!"

Sakura stared at Haruno Zhao's face, her attitude was extremely firm, she was not discussing with Haruno Zhao.

She doesn't want to go against her will.

She has no feelings for the ghost country, where she cannot survive.

Even if they return to Konoha, there is a high probability that they will be monitored and interrogated, but what if a miracle happens?

That was the place where she had lived for fourteen years, and she couldn't let go of it all.

"This kind of thing can't be done. There is no way for this ship to go to the kingdom of ghosts."

A male voice suddenly came from behind.

The door of the room opened at an unknown time.

Attracted the attention of Haruno and his daughter who were in the room.

"Shiro, Shiro, Shiraishi-sama!?"

After Haruno Zhao saw who was coming, he immediately opened his mouth wide, his tone of voice was full of unhappiness, and he began to stammer.

Obviously shocked and nervous by Shiraishi's sudden arrival.

Facing such a dangerous existence is still too exciting for him, an ordinary Chunin.

In terms of status, the status of the other party is completely comparable to that of the Five Kages of today.

At the same time, it was also the first time that he formally confronted the immediate superior of his immediate superior.

"You are..."

Different from Haruno Akira's uneasiness, although Sakura also felt a little nervous, she was barely able to restrain herself, keeping her voice calm and not disturbed by her mentality.

Maybe it's because I've spent a lot of time with Tsunade, the Hokage's master, one-on-one these days. Even if I meet some 'big shot', I won't let myself lose my composure completely.

"You are a student of Tsunade-sensei. In terms of seniority, you can be regarded as my junior sister. In the past, I also received a lot of favors from Tsunade-sensei. She saved me a lot of detours on the road of medical ninja."

Shiraishi wanted to get rid of the vigilance in Sakura's eyes by using an approach.

However, following his words, the vigilance in Sakura's eyes became even stronger.

Sakura's body trembled nervously, not knowing how to respond.

Intuition told her that she had no chance of winning in a head-to-head confrontation with the man in front of her.

"Live in the land of ghosts with peace of mind. With your current situation, even if you go back to Konoha, there is a high probability that you will be monitored and spend the rest of your life in prison. If you don't want to be enemies with Konoha's ninjas, that is your personal choice, and I will not force it."

Compared with the combat power acquired by Sakura's cultivation of strange power, he pays more attention to the opponent's status as a medical ninja.

Therefore, even if Sakura cannot be trained as a combatant, its role is still very huge.

"I am Konoha Ninja..."

Sakura wants to express her attitude and position.

"I can tell you about Sasuke Uchiha."

Shiraishi's words were like a stone that instantly smashed into Sakura's heart lake, causing ripples to appear in her.

Seeing the sudden stupefied expression on Sakura's face, Shiraishi smiled slightly. Konoha is not the only one who has chips.
