The two met again with Danzo Shimura in the secret room.
The anger that had been on Shimura Danzo's face just moments before was completely gone.
He calmly took a sip of hot tea, glanced at the two people at the door, and said in a deep voice,
"Sarutobi has taken the bait; this time, we must teach him a lesson he won't forget!"
"Only when he realizes his own foolishness will he agree to let us establish the [Hokage's Assistant]!"
Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado exchanged a glance. Koharu Utatane then spoke.
"Isn't it too risky for you to tell the people of Kumogakure about the future Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"
Upon hearing this, Shimura Danzo immediately looked up at her, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
Mitokado Homura jolted, and quickly tried to salvage the situation.
"Does Xiaochun mean that it's not a good idea for us to reveal the information about the future Jinchūriki?"
"Yeah!"
"That's what I meant!"
Xiaochun, who was turning over in the dormitory, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and readily agreed.
Shimura Danzo snorted coldly and said in a deep voice,
"A mere Jonin with three Chunin thinks they can kidnap a future Jinchuriki?"
"What a joke!"
"So what if the Jinchuriki is really kidnapped?"
"An orphan of the Uzumaki clan?"
"Humph!"
"As much as you want!"
In the Hokage's office on the other side.
Hiruzen Sarutobi quietly puffed on his pipe, and after a long while, he tapped the table.
After two short and one long sound, a masked member of the Dark Guard appeared instantly in the office.
Sarutobi slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and said in a calm tone,
"Go and fetch Minato Namikaze."
"Yes!"
…………
The land of rain.
Tsunade and the others appeared quietly with Bai Hao's spirit.
Tsunade did not conceal her whereabouts.
As soon as they stepped into the rain, Nagato sensed them.
In the dark cave,
Nagato suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Konan beside him, and said softly,
"Minami, Jiraiya-sensei's companions have arrived."
Konan turned and glanced at the Rinnegan, which was emanating an eerie aura, and said succinctly,
"Who?"
"Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin."
"Tsunade?"
Xiao Nan's body stiffened.
Nagato looked him up and down; he was emaciated, completely incapacitated, and could only barely survive by relying on the Gedo Mazo.
Seeing Konan lost in thought, Nagato immediately understood what she was thinking and gently shook his head.
"If I had received Tsunade's treatment when I was first injured, I might have had a sliver of hope."
"But now there's no possibility at all."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Nan fell silent...
Looking at Konan's dejected expression, Nagato softened his tone, as if he were a brother comforting his sister, and said gently,
"Konan, go and see Lady Tsunade."
"After all, she was Jiraiya-sensei's companion."
"It's been over a decade since we last met, so it would be nice to say hello to her."
"..."
Xiao Nan was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"it is good."
After saying that, she turned into pieces of paper and disappeared from the spot.
The little frog, who was taking a walk on the street, suddenly looked up at the eaves of the house next to it.
Suddenly, a beautiful woman with blue hair, dressed in a black robe with red cloud patterns, appeared.
Tsunade noticed the frog's unusual behavior and immediately looked in the direction of her gaze.
Although they hadn't seen each other for over a decade, she immediately recognized Xiao Nan when she saw her delicate features and the paper flowers on her head.
"Xiao Nan!"
"Tsunade-sama."
Unlike Tsunade's obvious joy, Konan's eyes only flashed with a hint of nostalgia before returning to calm.
Seeing this, Tsunade remembered the information Bai Hao had told her, and a look of heartache appeared in her eyes.
He sighed softly and said gently.
"Konan, you and Nagato have suffered all these years."
"..."
Xiao Nan was at a loss for how to respond to this concern from her elders, and felt somewhat bewildered.
But years of living on the edge allowed her to quickly recover.
Tsunade only mentioned her and Nagato just now?!
How did she know Yahiko was dead?!
Xiao Nan subconsciously went into a state of alert.
Tsunade, however, seemed unconcerned. She sighed again and cut to the chase.
"Take us to see Nagato."
"Perhaps we can heal his injuries."
As she spoke, she turned and glanced at the frog cub and Duoduo.
Bai Hao had given instructions beforehand.
The frog has a common healing skill called "Life Drop," which isn't particularly overpowered, but the frog is just too strong.
It is very likely to have an effect beyond imagination.
And Duoduo possesses an extremely powerful [Horse Talisman]!
Although its level is only [A], its healing effect is extremely powerful!
With those two around, Nagato's [severed leg from over a decade ago] and [excessive lifespan] are nothing at all!
Once Nagato is rescued, the subsequent ninja world cleanup plan will be much simpler.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Nan's eyes grew even more wary.
They weren't particularly close to Tsunade, so it was impossible for her to be so enthusiastic towards them.
Most importantly, Nagato's information is top secret!
Few people even know about [Xiao], let alone outsiders!
How did Tsunade find out?!
Thinking about it!
Xiao Nan grew increasingly worried, wishing she could just turn around and leave.
Shana's eyes flickered slightly, and she spoke.
"She tried to run away."
"?!!"
