Kanpū run all the way to the top, and within a few minutes, he arrived at the place where he just met the old woman. But unfortunately, there is no one there.
"This is…"
Suddenly, Kanpū saw a small circular pit on the ground not far away, twenty centimeters deep and one meter in diameter. The inside was densely packed with cracks like spider webs, as if it had been hit by a meteor.
Kanpū walked to the round pit, crouched down to observe it, and found two vague footprints in the crack of the spider webs in the round pit.
A picture flashed in his mind: 'A woman stood here, clenching her fists and accumulating power. When she burst out, a powerful force accompanied by Chakra instantly squeezed the ground, forming such a round pit.'
'Is it Tsunade?'
Kanpū remembered the old woman with dull yellow hair, wrinkles and hunched figure he met just now. And it was really difficult for him to connect her with Tsunade.
'Did she really use Henge no Jutsu (Transformation Technique)?'
For a Shinobi at Tsunade's level, even the most common three basic techniques are definitely not something that Kanpū can see through now.
But Kanpū couldn't figure it out, 'With Tsunade's status, why did she use Henge no Jutsu on us, young students?'
Kanpū got up and continued to observe the surroundings, but found nothing.
'Strange.'
Kanpū frowned. Regardless of whether the old woman is Tsunade or not, through the round pit and the loud noise just now, Kanpū confirmed that the old woman had attacked someone, 'Then, who did she attack?'
'Why are there no traces of fighting all around?'
Kanpū walked around for a long time and found nothing.
"Kanpū Kanpū, come down quickly, it's time to eat!"
"Woof woof, woof woof woof~!"
Tsukasa and little puppy Shiramaru came over.
"Oh, I'm here."
Kanpū put away those thoughts for now and turned back to go down the hill.
…
On the other side of the hill, Tsunade was holding the tree with one hand and covering her forehead with the other, her face is a little pale.
"I didn't expect you have not overcome your fear of blood."
Orochimaru is standing behind Tsunade, his right shoulder is a little sunken, and scarlet blood seeped out of his clothes and spread around.
"No wonder you stopped doing missions these years." Orochimaru's eyes flickered, "Tsunade, I can help you overcome your blood phobia."
Tsunade was silent.
Orochimaru understands what Tsunade's silent means. Although he is a little unwilling, he couldn't do anything about Tsunade.
The reason he came to Tsunade today is very simple. Now that Konoha and Sunagakure are at war, Orochimaru wants to bring the Sannin together to the battlefield and expel Sunagakure from the Land of Fire, 'But, it's a pity!'
Orochimaru contacted Jiraiya before, and Jiraiya said that he was tired of the war. Unless the Shinobi of Sunagakure breaks into the village, he will not go to battlefield again, 'And he also said that he would look for bullshit savior who can completely solve the wars, like a lunatic.'
Then he came to Tsunade, only to find out that Tsunade's blood phobia was not getting better, and she gave up on the treatment, so what can Orochimaru do?
At the time of melancholy, Orochimaru suddenly remembered the wartime of Second Shinobi World War. At that time, although the three of them had not yet grown to their peaks, the time when they fought together and doing mission together is really nostalgic.
'It's just that…' At this time, Orochimaru suddenly had a strong premonition that he might no longer be able to fight alongside Tsunade and Jiraiya in the future.
When he left the North Hill, Orochimaru's injuries had almost recovered.
Back at his home, Orochimaru just walked into the entrance when he was stopped: "Why are you here, Danzō."
In the shadows, spicy man was standing with his head lowered, and asked in a condensed voice, "How's that going?"
Orochimaru shook his head.
"Both Jiraiya and Tsunade rejected you?"
Danzō is very dissatisfied, "Hmph, after those two became famous, they didn't do anything all day, bastards!"
When the war broke out, Danzō hurriedly discussed with Orochimaru, and worked out a "perfect" plan to get the Sannin to reappear on the battlefield.
With Sannin's powerful strength, it is perfectly possible to lead Konoha's Shinobi to destroy Sunagakure's Shinobi and drove them out of the Land of Fire!
This is the fastest way to end this war. It will not only minimize the loss of Konoha, but also deter other countries and Shinobi Villages, so that they dare not act rashly. Of course, the most important thing is that if Sannin really gets into battlefield, Danzō can make a wave of fierce operations in the village, making Orochimaru the number one in the 'gossip talk', thus gaining reputation and prestige far surpassing Tsunade and Jiraiya, in order to win the Yondaime Hokage's position.
In Danzō's view, Sarutobi Hiruzen does not yet know that his direct disciple Orochimaru, has already made an alliance with him, so if Danzō tries to increase Orochimaru's reputation fiercely, Hiruzen would definitely not stop him. When Orochimaru becomes the Yondaime Hokage, even if Hiruzen realized it, he will not be able to change anything!
Unfortunately, the plan is already dead before it could even start.
"So, what are you going to do next?" Orochimaru asked.
"There are two less Sannin now. If you are alone, you can't beat Sunagakure's Shinobi in a short time."
Danzō analyzed, "So, you can't go to the battlefield until the final decisive moment!"
The meaning of Danzō's words is very clear. Orochimaru either does not go to the battlefield, or if he does, he must decide the victory in one fell swoop, in order to gain fame and prestige beyond ordinary people.
Orochimaru nodded, looking a little absent-minded. Now that he was 'rejected' by Jiraiya and Tsunade, he was a little disheartened and wanted to be alone.
"Then, goodbye."
Seeing that Orochimaru seemed to be in a bad mood, Danzō didn't say much. His figure hid in the shadows and slowly disappeared.
...
At the foot of North Hill.
Kanpū and the other boys have no love for desserts, so they start with all kinds of balls, especially the spicy beef meatballs.
It's just that…
After Kanpū ate a spicy beef meatball, he felt that his mouth was about to explode!
'This f***er is too spicy!'
Kanpū was busy filling a bowl of sweetened red bean paste slowly.
"Anko!!!"
Iruka ate one, and stuck out his tongue in pain, "You did it on purpose! Why are the beef meatballs so spicy!!!"
"Anko!!!"
Anko snorted dissatisfiedly: "I asked the boss to make it spicy because you always said that you want to eat spicy food. But now you blame me, hmph, I will never buy spicy meatballs again!"
"Can you stop laughing when you say that?"
Kanpū snarled.
"Nonsense, I didn't laugh!"
Anko adjusted her facial expression and said earnestly, "Now you all know how delicious red bean paste is. "
Izumo and Kotetsu were also pouring the hot red bean paste. But hearing Anko's words, their hands stopped moving.
Tsukasa was sitting on the grass, drinking red bean paste, and eating takoyaki, and then she said with a smile: "Iruka, Kanpū, Izumo, Kotetsu, you should accept your fate."
"Woof woof woof~!"
Shiramaru squatted beside Tsukasa, wagging its little tail, expecting its little master to give it a takoyaki.
Except for the super spicy beef meatballs, the six people talked, laughed, and finished all the red bean paste and balls they brought. At this time, it was already 5:30, and the sky was gradually darkening.
"It's almost time to go home."
Tsukasa looked up at the sky, picked up the little puppy who was a little unhappy after only eating two balls, and said, "Everyone, let's clean up."
Kotetsu immediately put all the trash into the bag, ready to find a trash can to throw it away.
When Kanpū saw this, he hurriedly stopped him: "Kotetsu, what kind of trash you, you, you just put them together? How can you do that? Dry trash, wet trash, and recyclable trash must be separated!"
"Huh?"
Kotetsu was confused: 'Why can't I understand Kanpū's words?'
"Let me do it!"
Kanpū personally take action and divided the trash in the bag into three parts, dry, wet, and recyclable. Only then did he satisfactorily hand over the three parts of garbage to Kotetsu, and then said earnestly, "Trash sorting is everyone's responsibility!"
