Chapter 62: Rescue Team and Clearance Troops
"This is the will of fire..."
After a long silence, a smile appeared on Tsunade's face, but it soon faded away and she said calmly: "You have no reason, I do. If you don't go, I will go."
"However, I hope that some of you will not regret the choice you made today when you think about it in the future."
She first looked at the ninja clan leaders present and said this, then looked at Danzo and her teacher and Said: "As a ninja, I have no reason to blame you, but I hope you can still do this when facing Grandma Mito."
After that, under everyone's indifferent, sarcastic or uneasy gazes, Tsunade stood up and left the conference room without looking back
"Old man, you..."
Jiraiya glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen and everyone with a complicated expression but hesitated to speak.
He could understand their difficulties, but he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out where it was.
Finally, under the signal from Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes, he sighed, got up and chased after her.
"Tsunade! Wait for me!"
After Tsunade and Jiraiya disappeared from sight, Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to say something when a figure suddenly stood up in the corner of the conference room.
"I'm sorry, seniors, and Third Hokage-sama."
The man bowed slightly to the people who didn't know what he was talking about, and explained in an apologetic and gentle voice: "I remember that I have some urgent matters to deal with. Can you allow me to leave for a while?"
Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes and recalled this person's identity information in his mind.
The newly promoted Jonin, Kato Dan?
He had a younger sister, but unfortunately she died in the war, so he was left alone.
"...Go ahead, we can't let the young man's blood run cold."
After thinking for a moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, as if he noticed something, and sighed: "The same goes for everyone else, do what you want to do. For other things, I will do what you say."
As soon as these words came out, Danzo behind him frowned. Just as he was about to say something, Sarutobi Hiruzen glared back.
Among the people present, the young jonin looked at each other subconsciously.
In the end, more than a dozen people stood up, bowed silently to the others, and then left the conference room together, leaving only a few ninja clan leaders and some people who didn't care.
Some old guys looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed.
They all thought of what Tsunade said about the will of fire. When the tree leaves dance,One shall find flames.
The fire's shadow will illuminate the village,And once again, tree leaves shall bud anew.
The meaning of this sentence is easy to understand.
The burning fallen leaves represent the sacrifices of the older generation, while the new Ieaves refer to the young people.
Young people are the hope of the future of the village. The older generation must trust the young people and protect them with their lives.
This is the core essence of Will of Fire.
However, looking at this scene now, it couldn't be more ironic.
----------------
"Tsunade!"
On the streets of Konoha, Tsunade walked quickly with her head down.
Although she was walking in the middle of this chaotic road, walking on the crowded roads and streets of prosperous Konoha, her whole body seemed to be wrapped in a thin layer.
The noisy crowd passed by her, isolating everyone's sight and sound, leaving only a quiet space amidst the noise.
The world is usually very big, but when it needs to be big enough to hide sorrow, it suddenly becomes very small.
She didn't want to stop and wait for the person behind her, so she kept walking quickly with her head down. Jiraiya behind her couldn't even run to catch up with her.
"Tsunade!"
Seeing Tsunade getting further and further away, Jiraiya could only form seals with his hands, and came behind her with a body flicker technique, grabbed her intact left arm and said: "Slow down, your injury is not yet..."
But after looking down at Tsunade, the words on his lips suddenly stopped.
The dim moonlight reflected on her face, reflecting the ugly, deformed crying face.
There is no greater sorrow than the death of one's heart, and nothing more sorrowful than silence.
Tsunade wasn't sad about their performance, she just felt unworthy of Naoki's death.
Hokage? Hokage is an idiot!
Anyone who wants to be Hokage is a super idiot!
Will of Fire? Will of Fire is bullshit!
Those who believe in the Will of Fire are idiots who talk nonsense!
The illusion she once had about the position of Hokage was completely shattered in her heart.
"You, don't cry..."
Looking at Tsunade with her head lowered, Jiraiya felt his scalp numb. He was a little at a loss for a moment. He turned around and said indifferently: "Didn't you say you want to go to the Country of Whirlpool? I can go with you..."
As he spoke, Jiraiya suddenly paused and looked down stiffly into his arms.
In the distance, Kato Dan stopped and looked at the two people with a wry smile.
"Jiraiya! You..."
At this moment, the young jounin behind him also caught up. They were about to say something, but they stopped when they saw him and asked a question to him.
"Why are you here?"
Kato Dan turned his head to look at them and said in a gentle tone.
"Ah, It should be the same reason as you."
The young jounin came back to his senses, pointed to the whirlpool symbol on his sleeves, and said with a smile: "Someone has to stand up. After all, they are our allies. It would be good to save even one, right?"
After saying that, he sighed again and said bitterly: "However, I hope we still have time..."
----------------
At the same time, on the border of the Kingdom of Whirlpool.
There were hundreds of people dressed as Kirigakure ninjas, speeding towards the direction of Uzushio Village.
It wasn't until they saw the figure appearing in the mist that the leading Kirigakure ninja stopped and gestured behind him to stop the team.
"I am Yuki Tsuki." The Kirigakure ninja, who was born in the Yuki Clan, said coldly, "Tell me the Secret code!"
After hearing the other party's accurately telling the secret code, he looked at the sensory ninja beside him.
"It's Lord Miyagi."
The sensory ninja nodded and sighed with certainty: "He even used up all his chakra. It's really admirable."
Hearing this, Yuki Tsuki remained on guard and walked into the mist.
Seeing the face of the figure clearly, Yuki Tsuki breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Mr. Miyagi. It seems that your operation went smoothly!"
He saw a man wearing triangular sunglasses, leaning lazily against the wall, his clothes covered with thick blood.
It looked like he had been baptized by a rain of blood from head to toe.
The long sword in his hand has been completely dyed red with blood. Every drop of blood dripping on the ground from the sword will make people horrified.
Whoosh!
Behind him, the red flare flew up into the night sky crookedly, its trajectory trembled by the wind and brought out a scarlet light. The whistling sound that cut through the night sky was like the long blast of a horn.
After seeing that signal, Yuki Tsuki became relaxed.
Because that is the signal that represents the successful completion of the beheading mission, a signal that only Suikazan Fuguki can send.
"Yes." Yuki Tsuki heard the man in front of him smile and say, "It went very smoothly."
"Next, let me take you to meet them."
