From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 18 You Regret My Shadow
Not long after Uchiha Munetsuki left, another person entered the Hokage's office.

Boom!Boom!Boom!
The wooden stick struck the ground, producing a dull sound.

The Third Hokage, without even looking up from the sound, continued processing the mountain of documents, seemingly already aware of the visitor's identity. His tone carried a hint of impatience: "Danzo, what are you doing here? If it's about the Uchiha, I should have already given you an answer."

"Hiruzen, you were too careless."

The newcomer was Danzo, his expression grim, his voice hoarse and low: "What happened at the Uchiha base last night was definitely not that simple!"

The pen paused on the document, and the Third Hokage slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with indifference: "So?"

"Hand over that Uchiha brat to me!" Danzo said coldly, his tone chilling. "I guarantee I'll pry everything out of him!"

"No."

The Third Hokage snorted angrily and rejected his suggestion outright: "You are stirring up internal strife in Konoha. I will never allow you to do this, Danzo!"

"Hiruzen, you're too naive!" Danzo roared angrily. "The Uchiha clan has always been an unstable bomb. Our teacher thought so too. It's because of your weakness that they've become more and more arrogant. That Uchiha brat's genjutsu must be hiding some secret!"

"I'll say it one last time, Danzo!"

The atmosphere had become so tense that the Third Hokage simply dropped the pretense of friendship: "You are not allowed to interfere in this matter. I will make my own arrangements for Uchiha Munetsuki!"

Danzo gritted his teeth, but in the end he had no choice but to say hatefully, "You'll regret this, Hiruzen!"

"Danzo, I am the Hokage!"

The Third Hokage retorted coldly.

"Huh, okay!"

Danzo was speechless, and could only swallow his anger and slam the door shut as he left.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Uchiha Muneki arrived at the gates of Konoha, but after looking around for a long time, he still couldn't see the person the Hokage had mentioned.

"Could he have forgotten?" He scratched his head in puzzlement, but then thought it was impossible. Who in Konoha would dare to disregard the Hokage's orders?

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a beautiful scene.

"Hey, kid!"

Uchiha Muneki's head was suddenly pressed down and shoved directly into the soft waves.

Although it was soft to the touch and had a pleasant fragrance, its mature allure captivated him.

But... I'm suffocating.
Uchiha Muneki struggled to escape from the 'waves', gasping for fresh air: "That was close, I almost suffocated!"

"Hahaha, little devil, you're so cute!" A familiar female voice, with a hint of coquettishness.

"Lady Tsunade, please be mindful of your behavior. Please don't do this again next time, okay?" Uchiha Muneki said coldly, taking a half step back to avoid being 'suffocated' again. He added, "Furthermore, you shouldn't call me by my name. I am now an Anbu member. You should call me by my code name."

Although the identities of the Anbu are highly confidential, they are limited to ordinary ninjas.

It's not surprising that someone like the Sannin, a direct descendant of the Hokage, would know about his Anbu identity.

"Sorry, sorry, it's a habit." Tsunade patted her chest heartily, then trembled slightly. "I'll definitely be more careful next time."

Although she was a woman, her boldness was in no way inferior to that of a man. It could only be said that she was worthy of being called the "Queen of Doujinshi." Uchiha Munetsuki secretly praised her, and then changed the subject: "Lady Tsunade, at this time, you should be at Konoha Hospital, right? Is there something you need here?"

"Hmm, guess?"

Tsunade's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and her slender, jade-like white fingers gently touched her red lips. She tilted her head slightly and chuckled.

Wow! Even Uchiha Muneki, as a spectator, had to admit that a woman exuding mature charm, with a voluptuous figure and, most importantly, being very beautiful, making such a move was incredibly alluring, practically bursting with hormones.

appease!

Suppressing the agitated thoughts that had been stirred up, Uchiha Munegetsu said expressionlessly, "Lady Tsunade, I am on a mission."

"Tsk, what a boring brat." Tsunade curled her lip and rolled her eyes. "Fine, I won't tease you anymore. The old man sent me, now you understand?"

Uchiha Muneki had never been so speechless.

Was Hiruzen Sarutobi's brain blocked by the Golden Cudgel? How could he send Tsunade to assist him with his mission?
Is this assistance, or is he asking me to help take care of the 'child'?

The thought of Tsunade being even less reliable than Jiraiya, and having hemophobia, already gave him a headache.

"What? You have an objection?"

Seeing the boy remain silent for a long time, Tsunade became furious and punched him on the head: "I am one of the Legendary Sannin! Do you know how prestigious the Legendary Sannin are? I, Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin, am willing to assist you in your mission. You should feel honored, brat!"

The punch was very light, but Uchiha Muneki, who was hit, twitched at the corner of his mouth: "It is such an 'honor' to be able to go on a mission with you, Lady Tsunade."

"Hmph, that's more like it." Tsunade crossed her arms with satisfaction, seemingly unaware of the other party's deliberate emphasis on the words.

Uchiha Muneki didn't speak; he was feeling a bit melancholy.

If it were someone else, they could find a way to shake them off on the road, but not Tsunade. If she were to encounter enemy ninjas alone, her hemophobia would leave her completely vulnerable.

Not only do they have to complete the mission, but they also have to be distracted to protect Tsunade. Doesn't that make them at least SS-rank?
"Don't think that the old man asked you to take care of me." After the playful banter, Tsunade returned to normal, guessed his thoughts, and said meaningfully, "The dangerous people recorded in that scroll are basically all sealed by the Uchiha and Senju clans."

"There's something else the old man didn't tell you."

After saying that, she deliberately paused, waiting for the boy to show a hint of curiosity in his eyes, before continuing with satisfaction: "A very small part of the seal consists of people from the Uchiha and Senju clans."

"The sealed Uchiha and Senju?"

This news truly shocked Uchiha Muneki; this scroll actually contained such a huge secret.

"So, do you understand now? You brat from the Uchiha clan."

Tsunade chuckled, flicked the boy's forehead, and said with her sexy red lips, "There's also good news. Thanks to your treatment, my illness has improved a lot."

Oh?
This is quite an unexpected surprise! Uchiha Munetsuki showed a look of delight.

So, don't worry about me.

Tsunade revealed her former pride, patting her chest and promising, "I've got your back for this mission!"

Deep inside an unnamed cave.

The very old Madara Uchiha was barely clinging to life with the help of medical equipment, his breathing almost inaudible.

His back was covered with medical IV tubes. He was once a hero who could take on the ninja world single-handedly, but now he had become a frail old man with a body that was all bones and flesh.

Suddenly, he slowly opened his eyes, a barely perceptible hint of fatigue flashing across his face: "Black Zetsu, you're back."

A dark figure crawled into the cave, but its appearance was quite miserable, with only half of its body remaining. It raised its aggrieved face and cried out in a tearful voice, "Lord Banban...it's me! I'm back!"

Looking at Black Zetsu's miserable appearance, Madara's eyes twitched. After a long silence, he finally asked, "What happened to you?"

Didn't he send Black Zetsu to Konoha to find his successor?

Such a simple task, which doesn't even require combat, how did Black Zetsu, that piece of trash, manage to turn it into this mess?
"Lord Madara, it's like this."

Black Zetsu recounted the whole story, adding his own embellishments.

"."

After hearing this, even the well-informed Madara Uchiha was at a loss for words.

To be this unlucky, Black Zetsu must be quite something!
December 9th, sunny.

I recommend investing in very few projects. These gentlemen are as cold-blooded as the weather in the north. Let me think about how to get the money out of their hands.
