Chapter 428 Diplomatic Mission

"There's something wrong with your chakra."

"Ah."

"Your chakra usage skills are also extraordinary. A normal person, even if you are an Uchiha, shouldn't be able to do that."

"Softer than Youlv."

"I'm asking you something serious!"

The little Nine-Tails was held by Sasuke and taken to a high place in Yakumo Castle to enjoy the breeze. There were many things Naruto didn't know, but he knew a lot, but the more he knew, the more he didn't know.

It would be very troublesome to explain it from the beginning, and it is impossible to tell everything from my heart.

Rubbing the fox's head, Sasuke also rubbed the chakra with memories into the Nine-Tails' body. After a moment, Sasuke felt a noticeable tremor in his heart.

"I have my own preferences, but I can't treat all nine of you equally like he does. After all, he was the one who created you, not me..."

"The old man is not dead!"

It would be a lie for Nine-Tailed Fox to say that he had no doubts about the memories he received, but the situations of the Six Paths Sage, Four-Tailed Fox, and Two-Tailed Fox do make sense.

"It's just that he's not completely dead yet, and he has a residual soul or something like that."

"When you reach his level, even if you die, you can still find a way to stay alive for a long time."

"Sun Wukong can call him out, why don't you give it a try, Jiu Lama?"

"..."

"If you didn't lie to me, then we've already met. Why would there be any need to say goodbye?"

Jiuwei said one thing and thought another, but he immediately seemed to sense something. He raised his head and looked at the sky, not at the stars or the moon. He was absent-minded for a while and then relaxed.

"He's looking for you?"

"Hmph, just a greeting."

"I called him but he ignored me."

"The old man said you were trouble."

"What did you do to him?"

“A respectful greeting from the younger generation to the older generation.”

Okay, Sasuke can understand that there are elderly people who are afraid of being talked about. But it's just that the learning of various abilities cannot be certified by the Six Paths and go through a clear path. At this point in time, it's just a trivial problem.

"Aren't you going to tell Naruto about your plan?"

"You've taken the initiative to care about Naruto. After all, the Ten-Tails wants you, not the Jinchūriki."

"It's up to you whether you tell it to Naruto or not, but I'll have to inconvenience you a bit when the time comes."

"That kid won't just sit there and wait for death."

So in order not to complicate things, Nine-Tails also chose not to tell Naruto too much.

Everyone chose to be more or less reserved towards Naruto, and for this reason, Sasuke did not speak up for Tsunade on Naruto's behalf on this matter.

-

It was a short fierce battle, during which Naruto and the Nine-Tails' chakra were completely depleted. After a night's rest, he was still a little weak, but otherwise he was fine.

I talked to Kushina about returning to Konoha.

As a mother, she was naturally a little worried, but she also supported Naruto's decision. She also had the dream of becoming a Hokage. Although she had been treated unfairly due to the current situation, if she could really become a Hokage as he said, she would have gotten rid of her anger. Naruto was a little naive and confused. If he messed up Konoha, it would be Konoha's own fault. Kushina would not feel sorry for Konoha.

The next day, they set out from Yakumo Castle again, this time heading straight for Konoha. There was no one else but Sasuke to go with them, just to send Naruto over, but he didn't want to expose his ability to cross space.

After watching Naruto disappear into the clouds, and nothing else to do, Kushina said goodbye to her teacher and disappeared as tiny specks of chakra.

Konoha has been in ruins for so long that not much has changed. More groundbreaking will probably have to wait until after the war. It is a bit impolite to enter or leave Konoha without going through the main gate, but in order to avoid attracting onlookers, we chose to go directly to the Hokage Building.

From a height of several hundred meters, he landed on the rooftop of the Hokage Building with ease. Before Naruto could announce the success of his parachute jump, four black shadows surrounded him. They were naturally the Anbu who were on guard around the Hokage Building and came to check the situation. It was a bit against the rules, but it was not a problem as they could see who was coming.

"You want me to go with you to see the Hokage?"

"I'm not a child, why do I need you to accompany me everywhere?"

"gone."

Seeing that Sasuke actually left without hesitation, the leading Anbu quickly stepped forward and called out to stop him.

"Sasuke-sama, the Hokage may have something to ask you. Why don't you go meet him with Naruto..."

"understood."

Sasuke responded calmly, but Naruto thought about it for two seconds and suddenly got angry.

"Why are you calling me Sasuke-sama! Why don't you just call me by my name!"

The Anbu nodded at the two of them. It was a title they had come up with on their own, and it was not easy to explain to Naruto, so they just avoided the topic and left with their men.

"Let's go. When you really become Hokage, I will naturally call you sir."

Naruto cursed all the way as he walked to the Hokage's office with Sasuke. Tsunade naturally noticed their movements from the beginning.

"Hokage-sama, what can I do for you?"

"How did you two fight yesterday?"

"Sparring practice. Naruto's condition is best for him to rest for two more days."

Going through the process and knowing that there is such a thing, I have to express my concern. I joined in halfway, and I don't know the cause, but as long as there is no conflict at this critical juncture, it's fine.

Tsunade didn't waste any words.

"I contacted the Raikage yesterday. He said he wanted to check with you about something. I just said you were away on a mission. If I contact you again, how about you come forward and participate?"

"What happened in Ghost Lantern City?"

"He didn't say."

"Video conference or face-to-face interview at the front line?"

"It shouldn't be necessary to make a special trip."

"You guys decide on a time, and then ask Huoshou to call me."

Are you in a hurry to leave?

"Why not wait in Konoha for a day and send a message to Kumogakure Hidden Eagle, so that we don't have to make another trip later?"

"It's all right."

"What about me? Didn't you say yesterday that there was an important task that needed to be completed by me?"

There is no hope for him to be so enthusiastic about completing tasks.

But it may also be that the previous courses taught that you have to complete enough tasks to get promoted...

"of course."

Tsunade pushed a task onto the table.

"An S-rank mission. On the one hand, I will learn how to control the tailed beasts from the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of the Hidden Cloud Village."

"But I already..."

Sasuke cast an illusion to signal Naruto to hide his abilities, and Tsunade also understood that he probably wanted to say that he could already control some of the Nine-Tails' chakra, which could be easily inferred from the description of the fight between the Slug and Sasuke.

"Kirabi has been a perfect Jinchuriki for many years. There's nothing wrong with you seeing how others train."

"In addition, you are required to have 'friendly exchanges' with Kumogakure as Konoha's representative."

"It is hard to predict whether the other tailed beasts can be taken back now. There is a high probability that they cannot be taken back. Therefore, the relationship between your only two human Chuuriki will directly affect the diplomatic relations between the two villages and the structure of the five major villages to a certain extent."

"How important is this mission? If you aim to become Hokage, you will definitely be able to figure it out, right?"

After Grandma Tsunade apologized in person, it seemed that she did give him a very important task that would help him become Hokage, and Naruto's resentment was reduced a bit.

If Sasuke hadn't known that this was probably to divert the Jinchūriki away from the battlefield, he would have believed her. The adult world is full of tricks.
