Chapter 469 Tsunade: Musashi, you don’t want Naruto to be without a master, right?

Suzumiya Musashi: "S-rank mission?"

Tsunade said: "Yes, S-rank, most likely, and a very difficult S-rank."

Suzumiya Musashi frowned.

Seeing this, Tsunade asked, "Why, you don't want to go?"

"Nonsense, who would want to go on a mission when they can rest?" Suzumiya Musashi answered without hesitation.

Tsunade's expression remained normal.

She was very clear about Suzumiya Musashi's working mentality. Although her defense would occasionally break down, that was only when the other party went too far.

"Musashi."

"The information about Akatsuki is very important to the village!"

"If someone else could have done the job, I wouldn't have come to you."

"But now, with the strength revealed by the Akatsuki organization, it's no longer something that ordinary ninjas can handle."

"Although Jiraiya is quite capable, I'm really worried about his personality."

"And..." Tsunade paused: "I have a vague feeling."

"Even Jiraiya would be in great danger facing the Akatsuki organization."

Tsunade looked up at Musashi and said seriously, "So, please."

"You are the most suitable person for the Akatsuki organization's mission. Even if...even if the mission cannot be completed, it doesn't matter. At least you and that guy Jiraiya will return safely."

Suzumiya Musashi pondered in silence.

He rarely saw Tsunade in this state, and he knew that he couldn't refuse her request.

I'm in a bad mood.

The boring part is not the danger of the task, but the tedious process.

He knew more about Akatsuki than anyone else, but so what? Could he tell Tsunade?

Even if he told Tsunade, how would she believe him? How could he explain his innate knowledge? How could he ensure that the news wouldn't hasten or alter Black Zetsu and Madara's actions?

Tsunade trusted him, he knew.

He was not just a partner or a subordinate to Tsunade, he was also somewhat of a man, and he knew it.

But he knew even more clearly that as one of the strongest female ninjas in the ninja world, one of the three ninjas of Konoha, and the Kage of one of the five major ninja villages, the other party would never believe his one-sided words unconditionally.

In his heart, the only people who trusted him completely and without reservation were Ayame and Uzumaki Karin.

Ayame is not a ninja, and Uzumaki Karin has too little influence on the overall situation.

Uzumaki Naruto might trust him completely, but... he couldn't completely trust the other party.

——Consider it from the perspective of IQ.

Therefore, Akatsuki's missions were a bit disgusting to him.

But think about it, it seems to be true.

Work is disgusting.

Pretend not to know about the Akatsuki organization, go on a mission with Jiraiya, and then bring him back safely.

Just treat it as a team-building opportunity that cannot be refused, what else can you do?

My thoughts were spinning, and because my thoughts were scattered too far, I took a long time to think.

Just when Suzumiya Musashi came to his senses and was about to agree to Tsunade, Tsunade suddenly blurted out something, apparently because he hesitated for too long and thought he was still unwilling to go on the mission.

"Please!"

"If... you can complete this task, I can agree to one condition."

Suzumiya Musashi: “…”

What's going on?

Suzumiya Musashi was stunned for a moment.

How did you jump to agreeing to a condition all of a sudden?

Listen to what you are saying?

And! That guy who looks like him is still in the house... Oh? Where did he go?

It turned out that Bingzu Leitong had already left after bringing Tsunade here.

Firstly, it was not convenient for him to listen to the conversation between the Hokage and the village Kage-level strongmen. Secondly, he still had a lot of work to do and had no interest in waiting here.

So, only Tsunade and Suzumiya Musashi were left in the room.

The atmosphere changed quietly.

In the silence, looking at the moist and healthy Tsunade in front of him, and looking at her eyes with a hint of expectation, Suzumiya Musashi felt his throat suddenly become a little dry.

"Gudu~"

and many more!

Suddenly, Suzumiya Musashi became alert.

He looked at Tsunade in front of him with a gentle expression and couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

Is the other party really worried about the village and Jiraiya, and blurted out in a moment of desperation, or... is he well prepared?

Could it be that this has been planned for a long time?

Suzumiya Musashi calmed his mind and sorted out his chaotic thoughts.

Forget it.

Whether Tsunade was unconscious or prepared, it made no difference to him. He would not force the other party to agree to any conditions just because of Jiraiya's mission.

Too despicable.

Thinking of this, Suzumiya Musashi opened his mouth to reject the other party's proposal.

It's just a mission, just treat it as a way to relax, it's no big deal.

Unexpectedly, Tsunade spoke before him: "Also, let me tell you, Jiraiya is Naruto's teacher, and Naruto has a very deep affection for him."

"Promise me that you'll complete this mission and that you'll be protecting Naruto's feelings."

"Musashi, you don't want Naruto to be without a master, do you?"

Suzumiya Musashi was stunned.

Looking at Tsunade who looked confident of victory, his expression froze for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth curled up.

At this moment, Tsunade changed her previous sincerity and weakness, and began to use both soft and hard tactics. Her smug smile immediately ignited the suppressed flame in Suzumiya Musashi's heart.

Dao heart? Forget the Dao heart.

Swallowing the words of refusal, Suzumiya Musashi smiled and nodded.

"In that case, fine."

"I promise."

"A difficult S-rank mission in exchange for a promise from the Hokage, it's worth it."

Tsunade was also stunned by Suzumiya Musashi's sudden and frank statement.

Then his smile grew wider.

[You impetuous young man, it seems you still haven't given up on me.]

She vaguely felt what Suzumiya Musashi was thinking, but she felt no worry or fear in her heart. On the contrary, she felt a little bit of anticipation.

Ultimately, her feelings towards Suzumiya Musashi were unique. If it was the pervert Jiraiya, she wouldn't have chosen to treat him this way, but for Suzumiya Musashi? It seemed like the boring life of a Hokage had been given some fresh excitement.

"It's a deal." Tsunade folded her hands over her chest, made a triumphant gesture, and said, "Pack up and leave as soon as possible."

"Wait a minute." Suzumiya Musashi suddenly said, "Who will be the leader between me and Jiraiya in this mission?"

In a ninja team, there must be a clear division of labor. If a quarrel breaks out during a mission due to different ideas, it is not what Suzumiya Musashi wants to see.

Tsunade pondered for a moment; she hadn't thought about this question before. After a moment, she said, "Akatsuki. Jiraiya has been keeping an eye on their news."

"Jiraiya will be in charge of this exploratory mission. You will be responsible for assisting and keeping watch."

"But... you have the right to decide when to end the mission and evacuate. I will make this clear with Jiraiya."

Suzumiya Musashi: "Okay."

Tsunade nodded in satisfaction, shook off the greatness and turned to leave.

"I'm waiting for your good news."
