Skadi, returning to infinity

"I have received the information."

Jiraiya told Tsunade all the information he had gathered in Amegakure.

After hearing Jiraiya say that Skadi saved him using a summoning beast when he was near death, Tsunade covered her mouth and looked at Skadi.

Ti's eyes were full of gratitude.

She has already lost too many important people, and if she loses Jiraiya as well, she doesn't know what she will do.

Skadi, however, saved the most important person in her life, a debt of gratitude that filled her with immense appreciation.

"I originally wanted to discuss this with Lady Tsunade, but then I realized that this matter should be a matter for Konoha, so I had Kakashi discuss it with Lady Tsunade instead."

"Before I even received a response from Lady Tsunade, I was taken away by the people of 'Root'."

For Tsunade to take action against Root, the hatred must be directed at Root.

"I understand." Tsunade took a deep breath, her eyes sharpening.

"Jiraiya, you can still fight, right?"

Looking at Jiraiya, Tsunade asked seriously.

"Of course." Having partnered with her for so long, Jiraiya naturally understood what she meant.

"Operation to eradicate the root of the problem, begin."

The moment Tsunade issued this order, Skadi also received a mission from the system.

That was her purpose in enduring such grievances, and from the current perspective, she succeeded.

Hidden quest triggered: Annihilate the Root organization of Konoha. Completion grants 5000 Willpower. Defeating Danzo solo rewards 10000 Willpower. If you can help Sasuke...

If you kill the enemy in front of important characters, revealing the truth to Sasuke and others, you will be rewarded with one S-rank Sharingan.

"Interesting." The rewards for the missions were as expected, but the final reward mission—the Sharingan—surprised her greatly.

It seems I'll have to use some tricks to accomplish this.

P.S.: Please vote for me! If you have any monthly tickets, please vote for me too. Thank you everyone.

Chapter 8: My house is quite big, would you like to come over for a visit?

Of course, Skadi will also need a suitable weapon to complete this mission.

Without a staff, forcibly casting "Song of Different Paths Leading to the Same Destination" would have consumed her energy many times over.

Furthermore, she still has the power of her original body that she cannot fully utilize, so her combat power will increase significantly once she obtains a suitable weapon.

"Lady Tsunade, do you have any big swords here?"

Skadi didn't know how to describe it, so as she spoke, she went to the drawing board next to her and drew the approximate shape of the sword she wanted.

"We can have the blacksmith in charge of logistics forge one."

Tsunade glanced at it and immediately realized she didn't have such a weapon.

But she is the Hokage; to create a weapon, she only needs to issue an order.

"Okay. It's a bit of a pity that we can't make it in time for the extermination plan of [Root]."

Skadi was naturally happy to be exempt from the mission and receive a suitable weapon.

"This is not free."

Tsunade smiled and said softly, "You saved the most important person to me, and the operation to wipe out Root will also require your help. Consider this your repayment."

Reward.

"Tell me the shape and appearance of the weapon, as well as the required weight, and I will have the blacksmith forge it for you using the best metals from Konoha."

"I hope this can be of help to you."

Looking at Skadi, Tsunade's eyes held a hint of something unreadable.

"Thank you, Lady Tsunade." He bowed to Tsunade and then chatted with her for a while.

After leaving behind the specific shape, style, and patterns of her weapon, Skadi left the Hokage's office.

"Is this an unexpected bonus?" Losing his hat is a minor matter; not having a suitable weapon is the real problem.

However, judging from Tsunade's words, it will be difficult to obtain it in the next few days, and hopefully it can be obtained before leaving.

Skadi was walking slowly when she suddenly stopped not far from her house.

"Hanabi, what brings you here?"

Looking back, I saw Hinata Hanabi wearing a yukata.

She hid in the corner, looking at herself, appearing somewhat reserved.

"Skadi, are you alright?"

Emerging from the corner, Hinata Hanabi stood there, her small body looking at her.

"fine."

Skadi knelt down in front of her and reached out to stroke her head.

Have you been worried these past few days?

He nodded, then shook his head.

“I heard them say that it was very unbelievable when you became a rogue ninja.”

"Now that the truth is out, Skadi did not betray Konoha, and I am quite happy."

Hearing her say that, Skadi looked at Hyuga Hanabi's profile panel that appeared in front of her, and made up her mind.

"Would you like to come over to my house for a visit? I can make you dinner."

Skadi wanted to bring the fireworks into her home and then assimilate them into her own companions.

However, her idea was a bit naive, and Hanabi simply shook her head at her invitation.

"No, Father will be angry if he finds out. I just came to see Sister Skadi, and now I have to go back to my training."

She wanted to go, but the image of her father's stern face flashed before her eyes, making her hesitate.

"Ok."

I was too hasty.

Moreover, there are indeed risks involved in assimilating her now.

Even if the Hyuga clan's Byakugan didn't notice this change, Tsunade and the others would probably guess it.

So it's not too late to wait until it's almost time to leave before making your move.

"If you have time in the future, I'll accompany you in your training. My physical skills should be quite good."

Skadi stood up, waved to the departing fireworks, and extended an invitation.

"Yes, Skadi, see you tomorrow."

Tomorrow?

The operation to wipe out Root will begin tonight. Jiraiya, Kakashi, Guy, and the Anbu members are all ready.

I'm just slacking off here; I'll go over later.

"Suppress your impulses."

Just now, when I stroked Hanabi's head, [Haisi] was already itching to do something.

But she suppressed Hai Si's instincts, otherwise she would have completely disrupted her plans.

"Someone."

As Skadi slowly walked back home, she immediately noticed someone inside.

But she didn't back down. After opening and closing the door, she stood in the entryway looking inside.

"Miss Skadi, why did you do this?"

The person from "Root" who took her there a few days ago emerged from the darkness and looked at her.

"Yamato, there's no need to hide yourself."

Skadi immediately exposed his identity; she had guessed who he was from the very beginning.

"..." Removing his mask, Yamato looked at Skadi with a gentle smile. "How did you know it was me?"

“I knew from the beginning.” Skadi took off her boots, put on clogs, and walked past him.

Instead of wondering how I know, why don't you tell me about your or Lady Tsunade's plans?

Walking into the hall, Skadi went to boil water, sat on the tatami mat, lit the oil lamp, and asked.

This is quite different from the plot; after she learned that the masked man from the "Root" was Yamato, she kept guessing.

"A double agent? Are you serving Lady Tsunade, or Danzo Shimura?"

By the light of the lamp, Skadi looked at Yamato.

"Miss Skadi, please ask Lady Tsunade about this matter later."

When Yamato puts his mask back on, his voice becomes devoid of emotion once more.

"I haven't answered your question yet, so I don't understand what you want to ask."

Skadi showed no intention of letting him leave, throwing a kunai that stuck into the pillar next to him.

"This problem..."

"Don't be a riddle teller." A strange chant rang out, and Yamato's body paused.

In an instant, Skadi was in front of him, grabbed him by the neck, and slammed him against the wall.

"I can snap your neck before you can use your ninjutsu. You can try if you don't believe me."

Skadi's voice was soft, yet full of threat.

"Why did you cut your headband? You know you're not a rogue ninja, there's no need for that."
