Chapter 157 Xiaonan's Disappearance (Part 3, Part 4)
Two days later, in the morning.
Hanekawa stood at the first training ground and opened the Eight Gates under the gaze of Might Dai.
In an instant, his body shook and he felt that everything had changed.
His mind became more active, and his vision, hearing and smell were all improved.
Especially the boiling chakra in his body, which made him feel that he had endless power.
Hanekawa couldn't help but sigh, it was worthy of the Eight Gates, and it was only the first gate that had such an effect.
But there was also a price.
His chakra was too boiling now and it was difficult to control it.
If Hanekawa performed ordinary ninjutsu now, such as fire escape, it would most likely fail.
Think about it from another angle.
If he successfully performed the ninjutsu, it meant that his chakra control would be taken to a higher level.
However, he could try to control the first three gates, but the last five gates would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Even so, Hanekawa was already satisfied enough.
"Your talent is really not bad!"
Might Dai said excitedly.
He had no prejudice, but was happy that there was one more user of the Eight Gates.
"Thank you, Uncle Dai."
Hekawa turned off the Eight Gates and felt tired immediately.
The Eight Gates essentially put the body into an overload state.
When it was over, the body would naturally feel uncomfortable.
At this moment, the sound of breaking wind sounded, and a familiar figure appeared.
"Tsunade-sama!"
After Might Dai saw who was coming, he hurriedly greeted him.
"Yeah."
Tsunade nodded slightly, looked at Hanekawa again, and said, "Come with me to see the old man."
"Uncle Dai, see you later."
Hekawa was stunned for a moment, greeted Might Dai, and left with Tsunade.
"It's about the Akatsuki organization."
Tsunade took the initiative to say without waiting for Hanekawa to ask.
"Akatsuki organization?"
Hekawa asked with some doubt, "Shouldn't this be asked to Uncle Jiraiya?"
It was Jiraiya who reached a cooperation with the Akatsuki organization.
"He was busy looking for the child of prophecy, and only stayed in Akatsuki for a week before leaving the Land of Rain."
Tsunade snorted and said, "He was able to go to Akatsuki purely because it was founded by his students."
"That's not surprising."
Hekawa shook his head and said.
"Jiraiya couldn't find it, so he had to find me."
Tsunade said with some dissatisfaction, "Can't the old man handle it himself?"
Hekawa could probably guess what Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking.
Most likely to help Tsunade increase her reputation.
Of course, this doesn't mean that Sarutobi Hiruzen has already chosen the next Hokage, it can only say that Tsunade is very likely.
The two soon arrived at the Hokage's office.
"This is a secret letter from Akatsuki."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said straight to the point.
"Such a serious expression? Is it related to Hanzo?"
Tsunade glanced at him and took the letter casually.
"Indeed."
Sarutobi Hiruzen admitted.
"Oh?"
Tsunade became interested, opened the letter and read it.
The letter didn't contain much content, just that Hanzo wanted to cooperate with Akatsuki and asked Konoha Village what they thought.
"What does Hanzo want to do?"
Tsunade frowned after reading the letter and asked, "He is the one who fights and makes peace. Why is his attitude so different?"
"Based on my understanding of Hanzo, he won't cooperate at this time."
Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a while and said, "I think it's a trap."
Hanekawa's heart was shocked.
Isn't this the trap in the original work?
Hanzo set up an ambush in the name of cooperation, killed Yahiko, and made Nagato disabled and blackened.
"It's very likely a trap."
Tsunade agreed.
She remembered the fight with Hanzo during the Second Ninja World War.
At that time, the Hidden Rain Village and the Hidden Leaf Village were already mortal enemies. How could he let the enemy go?
The reason why he named them the Three Ninjas of Konoha was because he couldn't take them down, so he went with the flow and gained a reputation.
"Write back to them and ask them to refuse to cooperate with Hanzo."
Tsunade threw the letter on the Hokage's desk and said.
"I suggest you go to Akatsuki."
Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and said, "Based on my understanding of Hanzo, he must have a backup plan."
His idea was very simple.
If Akatsuki was destroyed, Konoha Village's support would become a laughing stock.
And it took less than half a month.
"Okay."
Tsunade pondered for a moment and said.
Not defeating Hanzo back then was her knot. Now that she had a chance, she would meet this demigod again.
"Be careful."
Sarutobi Hiruzen tapped his pipe and said, "This mission is S-level, you'd better pick two more jonin."
"No, the war is about to start, it's better to let them pay attention to the movements of the Hidden Cloud Village."
Tsunade refused and said, "And the Akatsuki organization is not weak, it can help us."
"Teacher."
Hekawa suddenly interrupted and asked, "I have a candidate, how about taking Uncle Dai?"
He thought of Might Dai because he had been training with him during this period.
Although he is a Genin, after opening the Eight Gates, he is undoubtedly the best among the jonin.
And Might Dai has always lacked an opportunity to become famous.
Fighting the Seven Ninja Swordsmen alone is to become famous by death, which is not worth it.
But against Hanzo, there is no need to die, after all, Tsunade is there.
The same is true in reverse.
If Tsunade kills Hanzo with the help of Might Dai, her reputation will be at its peak, surpassing Hatake Sakumo completely.
If she is not the next Hokage, there must be something fishy going on.
This effect is not exaggerated, because there is no Uchiha driving a Gundam yet.
Hanzo is recognized as one of the strongest in the ninja world.
"Might Dai can do it."
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and said, "If he can complete the S-level mission, I just have a reason to make him a Chunin."
"That's fine."
Tsunade didn't say anything more and turned to leave.
"Teacher, when do we leave?"
Hanekawa asked as he walked.
"Two o'clock in the afternoon."
Tsunade thought for a moment and said, "You go and notify them."
"Okay."
Hanekawa said goodbye to Tsunade and rushed to the first training ground.
On the way, he recalled the plot of Yahiko's death.
There are two key points, one is that Hanzo pretended to ask for peace, and the other is that Konan was captured.
Hanekawa touched his chin.
When Konan was captured, he remembered that it was not Hanzo who did it, but Shimura Danzo's root.
Will this plot still appear now?
Hanekawa didn't know, and could only wait and see when he arrived at the Akatsuki organization.
"Hanekawa!"
Matt Dai saw him from a distance and waved to him, "Come and get into the hot youth training!"
"Uncle Dai, don't rush to train."
Hanekawa walked up and said, "The Hokage has a mission for you."
"What?"
Matt Dai widened his eyes and asked in disbelief, "The Hokage gave me a mission personally?!"
"Today at two o'clock in the afternoon, go to the Rain Country with our team."
Hanekawa said with a smile.
"Great!"
Matt Dai's eyes suddenly popped out, "My youth was seen by the Hokage!"
"Uncle Dai, go back and prepare."
Hanekawa was used to him crying all the time.
"I will definitely live up to the trust of the Hokage!"
Matt Dai turned and ran.
Hanekawa couldn't help but smile.
After thinking for a few seconds, he walked towards Nohara Rin's home.
Not long after, he arrived at his destination.
Under the warm sunshine, Nohara Rin, who was not far from the door, stretched out her hands.
The light green chakra lit up, and the carp covered by her hands immediately reacted and moved.
But soon, the light green chakra was like a light with poor contact, flickering and finally disappearing completely.
"Failed again?"
Nohara Rin pursed her lips and said unwillingly.
"The palm fairy technique is difficult, so there is no need to be too frustrated."
A familiar voice sounded.
"Hekawa?"
Nohara Rin raised her head and showed surprise on her face.
"Good afternoon."
Hanekawa said with a smile.
"Good afternoon."
Nohara Rin retracted her hand and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Wipe off the sweat."
Hanekawa handed over a tissue.
"Thank you."
A correct version at 16191 book and 1 forum!
Nohara Rin was stunned for a moment, took the tissue, and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Hanekawa looked at her.
A light layer of sweat oozed out of her white forehead.
Brown hair was stuck together because of the sweat.
The girl who was sweating hard was undoubtedly a bit sexy.
"Um... is there something wrong?"
Nohara Rin noticed his eyes, and her heart suddenly tightened slightly.
"There is a mission in the afternoon, which is to go to the Land of Rain."
Hanekawa said with a serious face.
"Yeah."
Nohara Rin said a little embarrassedly, "I... I will be there on time."
"That's good."
Hanekawa retracted his gaze and said, "I'll go first..."
"Hanekawa, how about staying for lunch?"
Nohara Rin asked with courage.
"Isn't this a bad idea?"
Hanekawa was slightly startled and said, "It will be more troublesome for your parents."
"They are not at home."
Nohara Rin said quickly.
After saying it, she felt ambiguous.
But she wanted to explain, but she didn't know how to explain it, and her face blushed unconsciously.
"How about I cook?"
Hanekawa pondered for a moment and asked.
Nohara Rin had already said so, so he couldn't refuse.
"Huh?"
Nohara Rin was surprised.
How could a guest cook?
But she had to say that the food made by Hanekawa was really delicious. Just thinking about it made her drool.
"That's it."
Hanekawa touched her head and walked towards the kitchen.
Nohara Rin looked at his figure and was in a daze.
After a long time, she came back to her senses and patted her hot face with both hands.
Nohara Rin put away the carp and walked into the kitchen.
She didn't disturb Hanekawa, but took the bowls and chopsticks and left.
After putting the bowls and chopsticks away, Nohara Rin sat at the dining table, listening to the faint sounds in the kitchen, and felt inexplicably emotional.
"I'm here!"
Hanekawa left the kitchen with two dishes.
"Thank you for your help, Hanekawa."
Nohara Rin said with a blush, "You are the guest."
"Nothing."
Hanekawa said indifferently, "There is no need to be so particular between us."
"Yes!"
Nohara Rin nodded heavily with a happy smile on her face.
"Try it."
Hanekawa picked up the chopsticks and said.
"What you cook must be delicious."
Nohara Lin said truthfully.
She picked up a piece of chicken and put it in her mouth. Her eyes lit up. It was indeed a delicious food.
Hanekawa looked at her appearance and couldn't help but laugh.
Just a 50% increase in deliciousness is already so delicious. I don’t know how powerful the C-level entry of ‘senior chef’ is.
The time came to two o'clock in the afternoon.
At the gate of Konoha Village.
Tsunade, Hanekawa, Nohara Rin, Yuhi Kurenai and Matt Dai have all arrived.
"Set off!"
After giving the order, everyone speeded up and headed west to the Kingdom of Rain.
Morning of the third day.
Akatsuki Organization Base.
"Lord Yahiko."
A middle-aged ninja walked into the hall and said, "A secret message from Konoha Village."
"The efficiency is quite fast."
Yahiko nodded and took the secret message.
"What does it say?"
Xiaonan looked at him and asked.
As for Nagato, he sat on the chair with an expressionless face and showed no reaction.
He was opposed to accepting support from the Leaf Village.
Because his parents died at the hands of the ninjas of Konoha Village, he naturally didn't like him.
But both Yahiko and Konan agreed that the minority obeyed the majority, and he could only temporarily suppress the hatred in his heart.
"Konoha Village sent an envoy to help us."
Yahiko read the letter and said, "They don't know the specific location of our base. Xiaonan, go and meet them."
"OK."
Xiaonan nodded, turned and left.
She has Shiki no Dance, which allows her to fly, which is more convenient.
Less than ten minutes later, the knock on the door rang again.
"Come in."
Yahiko raised his head and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Lord Yahiko, the envoy from Konoha Village has arrived."
The middle-aged ninja replied.
"So fast?"
Yahiko was a little surprised, but still said, "Arrange them to the lobby, forget it, I'll go greet them."
"yes."
The middle-aged ninja bowed slightly and exited the hall.
"Nagato, are you going?"
Yahiko stood up and asked.
"Not going."
Nagato said in a stiff tone.
Yahiko sighed and did not persuade him.
He walked out of the hall and soon saw the ninjas of Konoha Village.
This is...Tsunade?
Yahiko was a little surprised and a little flattered.
He didn't expect that Konoha Village would pay so much attention to them.
Two of the Konoha Sannin have already arrived.
"Tsunade-sama."
Yahiko took the initiative to introduce himself and said, "I'm Yahiko, long time no see."
"Where's Xiaonan?"
Tsunade asked, looking around.
"Didn't Xiaonan go to pick you up?"
Yahiko couldn't help but be startled and asked, "Didn't you see her?"
"No."
Tsunade raised her eyebrows and asked, "Did you miss it?"
"etc!"
Yahiko suddenly realized the problem, "Tsunade-sama, is this the secret message you gave us?"
"no."
Tsunade took a look and said.
"But the letter came through the channels of Konoha Village."
Yahiko said in confusion.
After Konoha Village supported the Akatsuki organization, it established a special communication channel with them.
Not many people know about this channel.
Tsunade frowned when she thought of this.
Someone is up to something!
"The top priority is to find Senior Sister Xiaonan first."
Hanekawa reminded quickly.
He already guessed who it was.
Nabekage Shimura Danzo.
"Walk!"
Tsunade made a decisive decision and said, "Let's split up and look for her. We must find her as quickly as possible!"
