Chapter 126 Planning the Route

Upon hearing Xingliu's words, Zhili's brows gradually relaxed, and his previously tense emotions were relieved.

Then, as if she had thought of something, she asked with some curiosity:

"Since the mission is to capture and kill Uchiha Madara, do you have any specific information?"

Xingliu chuckled awkwardly upon hearing this, then scratched his head.

In fact, there isn't much specific information about Madara Uchiha.

He accepted the mission mainly because he wanted to travel around and experience the various sights of the ninja world before becoming Hokage.

As for Madara Uchiha, time is on his side, and he'll be able to resolve this matter easily in the future.

Looking at his expression, the three women knew the answer.

Tsunade then asked, "So how do we carry out this mission?"

Xingliu didn't answer immediately. Instead, he stood up, walked to the side, and picked up a rolled-up map.

He spread out the map and said to the three women:

"Although I don't know anything about Madara Uchiha, don't forget that I've memorized his chakra information. We can find him by searching for him one by one."

"Alright, let's not talk about that guy anymore. Let's figure out which country we should go to first."

Upon hearing this, the three women stopped dwelling on the matter.

They huddled together next to the map and began to study it carefully.

Tsunade suddenly pointed to a spot on the map and said excitedly:

"How about we go to the Bird Kingdom first? I heard that you can find all kinds of birds from the continent there."

Upon hearing this, Xingliu said with a look of disgust:

"That's not good, birds are straightforward creatures, so many birds, ugh~ I don't even want to think about it."

As he said this, a look of disgust appeared on his face.

Upon hearing this, the three women turned their gaze to Xingliu.

Tsunade and Nono wore helpless smiles, while Osamu glared at him fiercely, as if blaming him for being so talkative.

Seeing this, Xingliu consciously shut his mouth and stopped talking.

After Xingliu's interruption, the three women stopped talking about going to the Bird Country.

They looked at the map for a while longer, and then Nono suddenly said:

"Why don't we go to the Land of Snow? We've never seen what a snowy landscape looks like, and we're ninjas, so we're not afraid of the cold."

Her voice was full of anticipation and longing, as if she had already arrived in that snow-covered world.

Her suggestion was approved by Tsunade and the government.

Once the first destination was determined, the rest of the itinerary planning became much easier.

They discussed and finalized the details one by one, taking into account the characteristics of each country, based on the map.

After Xingliu announced that they would be departing tomorrow, Zhili stood up and said that he needed to go home to pack his bags.

Before leaving, she glanced at Nono and Tsunade with a hint of envy.

But the thought of embarking on this journey with Xingliu starting tomorrow, spending every day together, brought a bright smile to Zhili's face.

She waved goodbye, then turned and left.

Xingliu was left standing there, completely bewildered, not knowing what had happened.

........

Inside the Hokage's office, amidst mountains of documents, Tobirama busily handled various village affairs.

Suddenly, a piece of intelligence in his hand caused his expression to change drastically, and his brows furrowed.

He sighed deeply, as if trying to expel all the troubles in his heart with that breath.

Then he said in a deep voice:

"Go and find the First Generation, the Fourth Generation, and Xingliu. Tell them I need to speak with them."

Upon hearing this, the members of the secret service immediately sprang into action.

They left the office silently, like shadows, to find the person whose name had been called.

Mito Uzumaki and Hashirama were nearby, so they arrived quickly.

Before he even entered the room, Mito's slightly reproachful voice reached Tobirama's ears.

"Tobirama, you are now a mature Hokage, and you should handle things on your own."

Upon hearing this, Tobirama nearly choked on his breath, thinking to himself, 'It seems like you're the current Hokage.'

However, he only dared to think about it in his heart, otherwise, given Mito's performance, he might have abdicated on the spot and given the position to him.

Although he can temporarily assume the duties of Hokage, he is ultimately a dead man and is still unsuitable to serve as Hokage.

Moreover, now is not the time to talk about this; he does have very important things to do.

So he cleverly changed the subject, saying, "Sister-in-law, there are two things I need to know about the reason I called you here today."

Mito didn't stand on ceremony, pulling Hashirama to sit beside her, and then said:

"Tell me quickly, what is it? I need to go shopping with Wood after I tell you."

Her voice conveyed a sense of ease and joy, and it was clear that she was very happy.

Hashirama stood to the side, his face blank. He thought to himself, the God of Shinobi, the First Hokage, what couldn't he withstand?

He couldn't hold on today and went shopping non-stop from morning until he went back for a meal.

Tobirama glanced at his elder brother with sympathy, then said seriously:

What exactly happened to the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi?

Upon hearing this, Mito's expression immediately turned serious.

"The official announcement stated that the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, had passed away due to illness. But in reality, things were not that simple. He crossed the village's bottom line and betrayed his duties as Hokage."

Even after six years, Mito still feels anger and disappointment when talking about Hiruzen Sarutobi.

She paused briefly, as if gathering her thoughts, before continuing:

"Hiruzen Sarutobi abused his power to cover up Danzo's actions. After the matter was exposed, he showed no remorse and tried to silence the child."

Upon hearing this, Tobirama's face turned ashen. He clenched his fists, veins bulging on his forehead, clearly struggling to control his emotions.

Finally, Tobirama could no longer hold back.

He slammed his hand on the table and said angrily:

"He actually attacked the children of his own village! This behavior is absolutely intolerable! How could I not have seen through his true colors and even covered for them? I even think it would have been better if they had just died there!"

His voice was filled with anger and self-blame, and he deeply regretted the wrong decision he made at the time.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo were both his disciples, but because of this, he also bore an inescapable responsibility.

That's why Tobirama is showing such anger and regret now.

It's just that Mito discovered it early, otherwise Konoha would have been completely destroyed by them.

Seeing him like this, Hashirama comforted him:

"Tobirama, you didn't do anything wrong, why blame yourself for this?"

Tobirama actually knew this, but he still felt like he was losing out.

He was wise all his life, yet he made a foolish mistake for a moment, and actually laid off his own forces for the sake of these two things.

Fortunately, things didn't get to the worst possible point.

Chapter 127 You haven't forgotten about the Tailed Beasts, have you?

Thinking of this, Tobirama took a deep breath, trying to calm his anger and disappointment.

He closed his eyes, and after a long while, he slowly opened them, his anger replaced by calm.

He adjusted his posture, and his voice regained its usual calm and steady tone:

"Forget about them. Actually, I have something more important to discuss with you all today."

Just then, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and a figure walked in.

Everyone looked up and saw Xingliu standing at the door with a puzzled expression, not knowing what had happened.

He glanced around, then looked at Tobirama and asked:

"Does Lord Tobirama need something from me?"

Upon hearing this, Tobirama nodded, gesturing for him to come in.

Then he continued, "Since you're here now, it wouldn't hurt to ask the person involved."

This made Mito Uzumaki ask curiously, "What is it? Don't keep me in suspense, just tell me."

Tobirama nodded upon hearing this, then looked at Seiryu seriously and asked:

"Six years ago during the Chunin Exams, Xingliu, where did you put those four tailed beasts?"

Xingliu was visibly taken aback upon hearing this.

He frowned, as if trying to recall what happened six years ago.

After a moment, he subconsciously replied:

"So what if he gets killed outside Konoha? What's the big deal..."

However, before he could finish speaking, he suddenly stopped, as if he had thought of something.

At the same time, Mito seemed to have thought of something. She and Seiryu exchanged a glance, and both of them had an awkward expression on their faces.
