Konoha: The Gu Master Creates the Hokage.

Chapter 171 Tsunade is acting strangely (First and Second Updates)

Fengying's office.

Gaara is handling work.

On both sides of the desk, stacks of documents were piled high.

The Sand Village was in a state of chaos after its defeat in the Chunin Exams, coupled with Fugi's interference.

Gaara has not rested since taking office.

Fortunately, having undergone training with Shukaku, he was already quite used to sleeping little.

Even so, it's impossible to finish, it's simply impossible to finish.

However, unlike Tsunade, he showed absolutely no signs of slackness or escapism.

Just then, the door was pushed open.

"Gaara, something's happened!"

Temari said in a flustered manner.

"What happened?"

Gaara's heart skipped a beat.

For Temari to be so flustered, it must be no small matter.

Why is Sunagakure so plagued by disasters?

"Do you remember when you suddenly sensed a powerful chakra fluctuation yesterday?"

Temari took a deep breath and barely managed to regain her composure.

"Remember."

Gaara nodded and said, "I even asked you to investigate back then."

"It's the legendary dragon vein."

Temari paused for a moment, then said, "But that's not the point. The point is that Kakashi Hatake and the others have disappeared in the Dragon Vein."

"What?!"

Gaara jumped up, instantly losing his composure.

"According to our investigation, the anomaly in the dragon vein was caused by them. But after the anomaly disappeared, they vanished without a trace."

Temari said gravely, "I've sent out all the Anbu to search, but so far we've found nothing."

"..."

Gaara remained silent.

For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

If it were an ordinary Konoha ninja, their disappearance wouldn't be too troublesome.

Because this matter actually has absolutely nothing to do with Sunagakure.

But the identities of these four missing people are all quite unusual.

Especially the oil-loving Zhihui.

He is a student of the current Hokage, Tsunade.

If the village is targeted by the enemy's anger, it may face another unpredictable disaster.

"What should we do now?"

Temari glanced at Gaara instinctively.

"Notify Konoha immediately."

Gaara said seriously, "Only by explaining the whole story as soon as possible can we clear Sunagakure of suspicion."

"I'll have Kankuro get there as fast as he can!"

Temari realized what was happening.

This is something that cannot be delayed or concealed.

Once suspected, it's impossible to completely clear your name.

As for why Kankuro was chosen, it's because he has a puppet that can move quickly.

"Send out all available ninjas from Sunagakure to expand the search area and find them as much as possible."

Gaara sighed and said, "That's all we can do."

"OK."

Temari nodded.

Seeing his expression, he seemed hesitant to speak.

To be honest, Sunagakure's behavior was entirely due to their fear of Konoha, which would be a loss of face for the Five Great Villages.

But when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

Temari turned and left the Kazekage's office.

She found Kankuro and explained the situation.

After the initial shock, he rushed outside.

Under normal circumstances, it takes three days to travel from Sunagakure to Konoha.

But thanks to his efforts, it only took him half a day.

The Hokage's office.

Tsunade looked at Kankuro and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

The main problem is that his condition is really bad.

His face was pale, his lips were cracked, and his whole body was covered in sand and dust.

It gave Tsunade the feeling that he had just escaped from some den of thieves.

"Mute".

Tsunade casually said, "Pour him a glass of water."

Shizune was holding a water glass, but before she could go forward, Kankuro snatched it away.

Without saying a word, he chugged it all down.

"Lord Hokage."

Kankuro put down his water glass, bowed slightly, and said, "Please forgive my rudeness just now."

"Speak, what is it?"

Tsunade waved her hand dismissively.

"They...they've disappeared..."

Kankuro gritted his teeth before mustering the courage to speak.

"Who's missing?"

Tsunade stopped moving and subconsciously sat up.

She already had a bad feeling.

"Class...7".

Kankuro said with difficulty.

The next second, he felt himself being suspended in mid-air.

Tsunade grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up.

Her face fell, and she asked, "How could they have disappeared?!"

By the end, his face was contorted with rage, and he had lost all control of his emotions.

An astonishing killing intent enveloped Kankuro.

terrible!

Terrible!

Kankuro had the illusion that he was facing a crazed Gaara.

It was like a runaway tail.

The next second, he will leave this beautiful world.

His body trembled uncontrollably, but the thought of Sunagakure gave him a chance to pull himself together.

"It's... a dragon vein..."

Kankuro's face turned red.

He felt his collar getting tighter and tighter, making him feel like a fish dying of thirst.

"Lady Tsunade!"

Shizune grasped Tsunade's wrist, her voice trembling slightly, and said, "Let him go first, let him finish speaking!"

She still retained a sliver of reason.

But my mind was just as chaotic.

The only saving grace was that Kankuro said "missing," not "dead."

Otherwise, she could hardly imagine how she would lose control.

Tsunade silently released her grip.

She realized that she had just lost her composure.

Kankuro landed and, without even catching his breath, immediately recounted the entire incident verbatim.

It was mainly Tsunade's gaze that gave him the creeps.

He felt that if he spoke too slowly, the entire Sunagakure village would suffer.

Kankuro couldn't help but wonder, were their teacher-student relationship really that good?

"That brat!"

Tsunade said through gritted teeth.

She knew immediately that You Nu Zhihui was acting on her own initiative again!

Because the mission she issued was clearly to capture Centipede and reinforce Minato Namikaze's seal.

"Lady Tsunade, I remember the Fourth Hokage also carried out a mission related to the Dragon Vein!"

Suddenly remembering something, Shizune quickly said something.

"Go and fetch the mission report from Minato regarding the dragon vein."

Tsunade sat back down in the Hokage's chair, rubbing her forehead in frustration.

"Yes."

Silently ran out.

In less than a minute, they brought back a roll.

Tsunade opened the scroll, quickly read through it, and then fell silent.

Minato Namikaze and Shiki Aburame had some similar experiences.

However, the above makes no mention of the internal situation of Loulan.

"Lady Tsunade?"

Shizune couldn't help but shout.

Seeing Shizune's worried expression, Tsunade handed her the scroll.

"So, Zhihui is alright?"

After reading it, Jingyin asked with a look of surprise.

"..."

Tsunade couldn't guarantee it.

The two situations are not entirely the same.

"Although the Fourth Hokage's team is strong, Team 7 is not bad either, so they are not in any danger."

"Silently, I can comfort you," she said.

Upon hearing this, Kankuro collapsed to the ground.

We're saved!

He really thought Tsunade was going to kill him.

"Let's head to Sunagakure now!"

Tsunade suddenly slammed her hand on the table, making a loud noise.

Shizune and Kankuro were both startled.

"Get ready!"

Tsunade thought she could calm down and wait, but she found she couldn't.

Even with Minato Namikaze's experience as a precedent, this is still the case.

Moreover, she always imagines the worst possible outcome.

In particular, she gambled with Zhihui, the oil lady.

This caused her to constantly see images of blood in her mind.

Tsunade clenched her fists, and her body began to tremble slightly.

"Lady Tsunade?"

A chill ran through Jingyin's heart.

This situation resembles a relapse of hemophobia.

"I'm fine."

Tsunade composed herself, then said angrily, "When I see that brat, I'm going to teach him a lesson!"

Kankuro took two steps back.

He realized that although there were four people in Team 7, Tsunade and Shizune only discussed one person, namely Shiki Aburame.

He now dares not even think about what will happen to Sunagakure if Shiki Aburame gets into trouble.

Shizune left the Hokage's office.

After explaining the situation to Nara Shikaku, she and Tsunade set off for Sunagakure.

Kankuro was the worst.

He didn't even have time to rest before he had to set off again.

Fortunately, he encountered two top-tier medical ninjas this time, so at least he won't die.

The ruins of Loulan.

The place where the dragon vein is sealed.

"Lord Hokage."

Gaara took out a kunai.

"This is the Flying Thunder God Kunai."

Tsunade looked at the kunai in her hand, lost in thought.

She has already checked it once.

According to legend, this dragon vein should possess endless chakra.

But where is the endless form now?

It's at most equivalent to a weakened version of Shukaku.

What caused the dragon vein to consume so much chakra?

With the addition of the Flying Thunder God Kunai, she felt that they might have entered some strange space similar to the three holy lands.

After all, Minato Namikaze and his group did the same thing back then, disappearing for a period of time before reappearing.

"I have a general understanding of the situation."

Tsunade snapped out of her daze and said, "This matter has nothing to do with your Sunagakure village."

Gaara's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.

"You guys go back."

Tsunade waved her hand and said, "I'll wait here."

Gaara and Temari exchanged a glance, then helped the dying Kankuro away from the Loulan ruins.

"Yugao, prepare the tent."

"Tsunade gave the order."

Uzuki Yugao and the other ANBU ninjas quickly set up a tent.

"Give me the mead that brat gave you."

Tsunade looked at Shizune.

"..."

Silent looked hesitant.

Knowing that the dragon vein would cause a delay, You Nu Zhihui provided a batch of honey wine in advance.

However, instead of giving it to Tsunade, she had Shizune keep it and designated her to drink one bottle a day.

I've already drunk one bottle today.

"Give me!"

Tsunade said sharply.

Left with no other choice, Shizune gave her a bottle.

Tsunade silently took a sip of sake, then a second sip, and soon the bottle was empty.

A blush appeared on her face.

But why am I still so irritable?

Tsunade staggered into the tent and lay down on the bed.

"Lady Tsunade?"

Shizune looked at her with a worried expression.

She had never seen Tsunade like this before.

Suddenly, a rebellious thought popped into her mind.

This seems like a breakup.

"You can leave now."

Tsunade's voice carried a hint of drunkenness.

"Yes."

Silent hesitated for a few seconds, then turned and left.

"Ugh, you brat!"

Tsunade scratched her head, and her neat blonde hair suddenly became messy, just like a cat with its fur standing on end.

She stared at the unfamiliar ceiling and suddenly realized something was wrong with her.

She fell silent for a moment.

……

A corner of Loulan.

Uchiha Sasuke looked at the familiar face in front of him, feeling completely confused.

Where am I?

What happened?

Although Sasuke Uchiha had never seen Minato Namikaze in person, he had seen his portrait on the Hokage Rock countless times.

The person in front of me is clearly a younger version of the Fourth Hokage.

Looking at the other two young men who took off their masks, aren't they Akimichi Choza and Aburame Shimi?

Especially the latter.

Sasuke Uchiha had seen Aburame Shiki on several occasions when he went to see her.

But still the problem.

They are younger.

"I think I understand the situation."

After listening to Uchiha Sasuke's words, Namikaze Minato said thoughtfully.

"How so?"

"I can't believe it," Akimichi Choza asked curiously.

"He is a ninja from Konoha Village twenty years in the future."

Minato Namikaze exclaimed in shock.

"What?"

Both Akimichi Choza and Aburame Shii showed expressions of surprise.

Uchiha Sasuke gave up thinking altogether.

"You are people of the future, you should not stay in the past, otherwise, the future will surely change drastically."

Minato Namikaze said in a deep voice, "From your account, the key person is Centipede, who is now the Loulan Minister An Lushan."

"But doesn't Loulan have two ministers?"

Qiu Dao Dingza asked, puzzled.

"Two people?"

Sasuke Uchiha was slightly taken aback, and quickly asked, "Could it be Shiki?"

He recalled that when the dragon vein erupted, Aburame Zhihui was standing with Centipede.

"Zhihui?"

Aburame Shiki suddenly spoke up, "Could this name be from my Aburame clan?"

"He is your son."

Uchiha Sasuke answered.

"what?"

A subtle expression appeared on Aburame Shiki's face.

He hasn't even found a girlfriend yet, and he already has a son?

Congratulations!

"That's what Choza Akimichi said jokingly."

"It's not Zhihui."

Minato Namikaze shook his head and said, "His name is Shi Siming."

"Shi Siming?"

Sasuke Uchiha wondered, "What a strange name."

"Let's ignore that for now."

Minato Namikaze looked at Shizuka Aburame and said, "Shizuka, find Kakashi and the others."

"OK."

Aburame nodded slightly and said, "I can just take a look at what Kakashi will look like in twenty years."

Aren't you curious about your son?

"I asked with a smile," Akimichi Choza said.

"..."

Yu Nuzhi glared at him and released a large swarm of insects.

A few minutes later, he raised his hand and pointed north.

"Let's go there."

Minato Namikaze took out a Flying Thunder God kunai.

Uchiha Sasuke experienced the legendary Flying Thunder God Technique for the first time.

There's only one word: fast.

"teacher?"

Kakashi Hatake stared blankly at Minato Namikaze.

"He really does look just like Kakashi."

Minato Namikaze suddenly raised an eyebrow, about to speak, but then stopped.

He wanted to ask him what was wrong with that eye, but the more he knew, the more it would affect time and space.

Let me explain the situation to you first.

Minato Namikaze suppressed his curiosity and shared his guess.

"Is...is that so?"

Kakashi Hatake turned around as he spoke.

His body trembled slightly, and his eyes instantly filled with tears.

Minato Namikaze was slightly taken aback.

He exchanged a glance with Choji Akimichi and Shiki Aburame, and they all understood what was going on.

"Kakashi, the future has caused you a lot of suffering."

Minato Namikaze stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said gently.

Two chapters combined, plus a daytime update.
