White Moon of Konoha

Chapter 59 Recover the abducted Sasuke, or recover the defected Sasuke?
At noon, when Hinata Gen was still teaching Hanabi at home, members of Anbe appeared in the clan ground and brought him to Hokage's office.

He also came with Ning Ci, who had dark circles under his eyes. Today, Hinata Xuan asked him not to go to the laboratory, lest he could not find others in the village.

At this moment, apart from the two people in Hokage's office, Nara Shikamaru is on standby.

Tsunade sat behind the desk, looked up and down the three of them carefully, and said, "I called you here today because I have something to entrust to you."

Hyugagen and Ningji glanced at each other, and they understood what was going on.So just nodding slightly.

After hearing the mission, Nara Shikamaru on the side also put away his lazy expression.

Tsunade tapped his fingers on the table, sighed and said: "In the morning, Sakura received the news that Sasuke left the village, and it must be caused by Orochimaru, I need you to find Sasuke and bring him back .”

When Nara Shikamaru heard it, his heart trembled, and he asked a little strangely: "Master Wudai, since Orochimaru is behind him, why don't you let the Jonin in the village go and follow him?"

From his point of view, it is more appropriate to hand over this matter to the jounin in the village or even the elite jonin.

Tsunade glanced at Hinata Gen and Ningji, who had no reaction, and then explained: "Because of some things in the village recently, none of the Junin is free, so I can only let you go."

After a short pause, she spoke again: "There was an accident during the Chunin exam. Although the final round of assessment was not conducted, in terms of strength and mind, Shikamaru, you are already capable of meeting the requirements of a Chunin. That's it, so the responsibility of the captain of this mission will be handed over to you, and you will recruit team members to carry out the mission."

As he said that, Tsunade glanced at Hinata Gen slightly, wanting to see if he had any opinions. After all, he had a lot of thoughts in the previous contacts.

It's a pity that Hinata Gen had foreseen this, so he didn't express any opinions.

Shikamaru thought for a while, and said, "Yes, Tsunade-sama, leave this matter to me."

"Okay, time is urgent, let's go now."

Tsunade nodded, and set her eyes on the books on the table. She was about to perform surgery on Xiao Li, so she could read more and grasp more at this time.

However, Hinata Gen said at this time: "Master Tsunade, because of my illness, I apply to act alone as the last support."

Tsunade raised his head, took a deep look at Hinata Gen, and finally nodded after thinking for a while, saying: "Yes, but you kid, don't be lazy behind the scenes."

Hinata Xuan smiled and said: "Of course, I am also a member of the village, so I will definitely complete the task seriously, but..."

"But what?" Tsunade frowned, as if he was dissatisfied with Hinata Gen's successive questions.

Hinata Gen’s expression remained unchanged, and he asked in doubt: “There is something I need to confirm with you, Tsunade-sama, what is the nature of our mission this time, to recover the abducted Sasuke, or...to recover the defected Sasuke?”

As soon as this sentence came out, Shikamaru, who was known for his calmness, frowned, obviously no longer calm.

And Neji also pretended to be surprised, silently looking at Tsunade.

Whether Sasuke was abducted or defected, the meanings of the two things are completely different.

If it was just abducted, Sasuke would still be a member of the village after he recovered, and they would try their best to protect Sasuke's safety when they were chasing him; Can be tough and even kill Sasuke if necessary.

After all, bringing back Sasuke alive and bringing back Sasuke's body are both bringing back...

Tsunade fell silent, the expression on his face kept changing, and finally he patted the table and said, "Sasuke... is in a special situation. You should try to bring him back without harming his life."

"Ok, I see."

After finishing speaking, Hinata Gen, Ningji and Shikamaru went out of the office directly and started rushing to the village.

Tsunade's words are already obvious, Sasuke just left the village, not to the point of defection.

As for the reason, it is also very simple. As Uchiha Sasuke is the "only surviving" member of Uchiha, as long as others may not be able to revive Uchiha in the future.

And such a Uchiha is no longer a burden to the village, but will be an important blood successor family, and it is bound to be impossible to hand over Konoha.

Therefore, Sasuke will also leave the village, not and it is impossible to defect.

Of course, if someone else dared to do this, I am afraid that the current mission is most likely to be done by Anbu or Genbu, and it would not be brought back alive, but killed directly.

After all, rebellion is an existence that every village cannot tolerate!

On the way, Nara Shikamaru looked at Hinata Gen intentionally or unintentionally, thinking he had something to say, but he opened his mouth several times but didn't say it.

Hinata Gen showed a slight smile, and calmly said: "Shikamaru, if you have anything to say, just say it, after all, you are the captain of this operation."

Nara Shikamaru touched the back of his head and asked, "Xuan, are you sure you want to separate from us? You must know that we are probably going to face Orochimaru's subordinates, and their strength is not ordinary."

This is Shikamaru's first time leading a team, so he wants to do his best, and Hinata Gen's strength is obvious to all, so he still hopes that Hinata Gen can be in the team and take on the main force.

Hyuga Xuan glanced at the outside of the village, and said calmly: "My illness is doomed to help you all at critical moments, so it's better not to be in the team. Don't worry, I will take action at any critical moment."

Seeing the resolute Hinata Gen, Shikamaru finally just nodded silently without saying a word.

Hinata Xuan signaled Ningji to slow down, and the two slowly fell behind, then he took out a ninja bag and said, "Aren't you still studying the Chakra armor recently? This time, take the armor on the mission and say Might not be useful."

Ning Ci frowned. He felt that Hinata Gen had something to say, and said doubtfully: "The Chakra armor is indeed being researched, but it is not perfect. Although wearing it will improve the defense, it may also It will affect my strength."

Hinata Xuan shook his head: "I told you to take it with you, and if you are afraid of affecting your performance, put it on at a critical moment. I don't want to..."

"Ok."

Ning Ci took a deep breath, saw Hyuga Xuan's dignified look, nodded, and took the package.

Although he couldn't understand it, Hinata Gen seemed to be able to think about some things every time. Since he said it so solemnly, it might be useful.
