Naruto is in my heart

"Send it over there quickly"

Several medical ninjas were guiding Akimichi Choji, who came back first, to the prepared rescue room. After all, he was carrying the dying Akimichi Choji on his back.

"Hold on, Choji."

After watching Dingci being sent to the rescue room, Dingzu breathed a sigh of relief and stood outside the door waiting for news.

"What's going on?" Tsunade heard that a member of the chasing team was injured, so she put down her work and rushed over.

"Ah~ it's Tsunade-sama"

"Is Choji Akimichi Choji okay?" After all, it was Tsunade who agreed to the establishment of this team. The Akimichi clan is a loyal family that supports all generations of Hokages. If something happens to Choji's only son, Tsunade will still feel bad.

"Tsunade-sama, thank you for your trouble. Judging from the injuries, Inuko took our clan's unique secret medicine. It seems that he is determined to die and must defend what he wants to protect." Akimichi Choza said , a pleased smile appeared on his face.

"That's it, but don't worry. After all, Shizune has been with me for so many years. If it is caused by drugs, as long as the excessive activation of cells is suppressed, the next step is to rest."

Tsunade said this, Akimichi Dingzao was completely relieved.

"Then, please explain in detail what you encountered on the road."

Towards evening, the search and rescue team composed of the medical class and the communications class sent back the news.

"Report to the Hokage-sama that the body of Oto-nin was found twenty miles west of where Akimichi Choji was found, and Hyuga Neji who is in the dying stage is currently being carefully escorted back to the village while barely maintaining his heartbeat."

"Where are the others Nani?"

"We haven't found anything nearby yet. Many tracking traces and marks were destroyed by the battle between the two. Our people were able to arrive in time. We only noticed it because someone lit branches and haystacks on fire and the rising smoke appeared in the distance."

The communication ninja who communicated asked in detail before reporting the result to Tsunade.

"Is this so? The situation is not optimistic. It's too reluctant to send these little guys. If it weren't for the less important D-level tasks that day were urgently put aside and some personnel were recalled, there would probably not even be enough manpower to form a search and rescue team."

Tsunade looked at the table solemnly, her hands crossed on the tip of her chin.

"Tenzo"

After hearing the sound, an ANBU ninja appeared in the center of the room.

"Fifth Generation Master"

"The third generation gave you special instructions about Naruto," Tsunade put her hand down again.

"Yes, Uzumaki Naruto, if I can stop the Jinchuuriki from going berserk, I will probably be the only one who knows the Wood Release Technique. But over the years, my Wood Release Technique seems to be imperfect."

"It doesn't matter. I'll tell you a secret about the First Hokage's necklace. Just in case, once you understand it, rush to support Kakashi immediately."

"You mean the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki might go berserk?" Tenzo said in surprise after listening to Tsunade's words.

“Just in case, it’s also the worst plan.”

"Understood"

After Tenzo left, Tsunade turned her chair towards the window.

"It's been a day since I injured two of the most defensive players on the team."

"dong dong dong"

While Tsunade was deep in thought, there was a knock on the door of the Hokage's office.

"Come in"

"Tsunade-sama, Akimichi Choji has successfully passed the dangerous period." Shizune came over to report without taking off her surgical clothes.

"Good job, but Hinata Neji will be escorted back around early in the morning."

"This is not a wound that penetrates the vitals"

"It's strange to say that I shouldn't have been able to hold on for such a long time. In addition, the search and rescue team also found out in time. Because of the excessive blood loss and the large wounds, I'm afraid I have to use the emergency treatment and regenerative healing array."

Tsunade squinted her eyes and directly told Shizune what to do next with her eyes.

"Tsunade-sama is going to use that again."

"Speaking of it, I have done an operation on Tamayama Akira with the same level of formation, so I have experience this time." Tsunade took out the summary notes after the last operation.

"Tsunade-sama was not lazy when I was away." Shizune laughed happily when she saw the notes in Tsunade's hand.

"Why are you giggling? Why don't you hurry up and get ready?"

"Yes, don't worry, leave it to me", Shizune happily left the Hokage's office.

"Really, this guy is inexplicable," Tsunade whispered, "but I hope the support from Suna Ninja Village can catch up."

In the blink of an eye, it came to the evening of the next day. Hyuga Neji who was sent back had already been treated so far. Although the injury had not worsened, the situation was not optimistic. Fortunately, Tsunade summoned enough manpower in advance to allow the medical staff to perform the regeneration surgery. There are enough staff.

"Inuzuka Kiba and Nara Shikamaru were searched by medical personnel, along with two Suna ninja support personnel. It was confirmed that the three Sound ninjas were dead. Their bodies have been recovered, and our personnel suffered varying degrees of wounds. His life is safe, but a ninja dog has been seriously injured." The communication ninja had new information and immediately sent it to the Hokage's office.

"Is there support from Suna Ninja Village? Have you met any members of Class Zero?"

"There is no contact yet, but according to two Suna ninjas, the captain of Team Zero disappeared halfway, and the two members were heading in the direction of the search team."

"Sou Ga, I understand. I will report back when I have new information. By the way, let the front row search team pay attention to Hatake Kakashi."

"Understood" the communications class ninja put down all the information and left the office.

"Although I asked Kakashi to take such a long way to get here, I still give him a chance. After all, two of my students are involved."

To be honest, Tsunade originally didn't want to take Sasuke's departure from the village too seriously. The village had not yet recovered, there were many entrusted tasks, and there was a serious shortage of manpower. Otherwise, there would be no loopholes in the current security of Konoha Village.Secondly, Konoha is now allocating resources to rebuild various facilities and repair observation towers and walls. The manpower and resources currently consumed are not proportional to the returns.Thirdly, Sasuke himself took the initiative to leave the village and join Orochimaru's side, which is now hostile to Konoha. This is an act of betrayal to the village. Not to mention whether the people can accept the recovered Sasuke, just teaming up for missions in the future will have a different impression. The evaluation will become worse, and there may even be a crisis of trust.

But after taking over the position of Hokage, Tsunade saw the comments of the third generation when they assigned genin to form the seventh team, and the reason for choosing Kakashi to become the seventh team to guide the jounin.This largely determines why Tsunade agreed to Ming's plan.

"I hope it won't be a useless effort."

Tsunade looked out the window at the bright moon rising in the sky.

"Kakashi-senpai"

Just near the Valley of the End, two medical ninjas discovered Hatake Kakashi who was carrying Naruto back.

"Naruto Uzumaki looks seriously injured." Naruto's clothes still had blood stains on them, and the penetrating wounds had not completely healed.

"Where is Uchiha Sasuke?" asked the medical staff who were wearing full body protection and only saw two people.

"I'll leave for now and I'll report it in detail to Hokage-sama when I go back. I'll be responsible for sending this guy back first."

You know, in order to catch up with the four sound ninjas escorting Sasuke, Naruto and others had to travel for a day and a night, and fought for most of the day, and they had reached their physical and mental limits.

"How are the others?"

"Rock Lee for follow-up reinforcements has been found, and Gaara from Sand Ninja Village is also there. Now all members of the team composed of Nara Shikamaru have been found." As for the treatment situation, since the two groups were searching forward, so You need to meet the communication ninja to understand the rear information in detail.

At the same time, after crossing the border of the Land of Fire, Ishiryu Kawasuke and Emi Matsuda finally found Akira Tamayama resting behind a tree in the woods surrounded by the aftermath of the battle.

"You're here," Ming said with a wry smile, his face full of mud and nothing but water.

"Where's Uchiha Sasuke?"

"What's going on here"

The two of them helped him up and one of them asked.

"Don't mention it and let him run away. If we follow him from the front, it may be Orochimaru's territory. I don't dare to pursue him too closely. I sparred with the Yakushi Kabuto of Oto Ninja here for a while and then gave up."

Looking at the exhausted Ming, who looked helpless and remorseful, the two of them did not consider the possibility that the other party was lying. After paying a little attention to the signs around them, the two of them took Ming's arms and left the woods, heading towards Heading towards the border of the Land of Fire.

"It's almost dark and it's raining again. Let's go back and learn more about it."

"By the way, tell me how your work went?" Ming asked one more question.

"Don't worry, according to the marks you made, we added highly recognizable codes and marks. Besides, there are also those three powerful guys, everything is fine."

Ming's main body had to rush on his way, so after briefly dealing with Choji and Neji, he set off a bunch of smoke. However, Shikamaru and Kiba couldn't be of much help later on, so they could only make a code signal in a hurry. , and continue to move forward.

It wasn't until Xiao Li caught up at the back that he took a detour to catch up with Naruto and Sasuke. Unfortunately, he was still a step too late, and was tricked by Itachi. He saved his energy and chakra in order to intervene in the battle between Naruto and Sasuke in the Valley of the End. His plan came to nothing.

"Okay, but we'd better rush back as soon as possible."

Ming signaled the two of them to let go and continue on their way on their own. After all, he still had enough chakra. For Ming, the little time just now was enough to recover.

At this time, Kakashi's news was also sent back to Konoha Village through the hands of the communication ninja.

After hearing the news, Tsunade punched the table.It makes a "click" sound.

"Sasuke Nani didn't chase him back and beat Naruto seriously"

If Tsunade had just a little more strength, the desk would collapse immediately, which also scared the reporting ninja to sweat profusely.

"Yes, and except for Uchiha Sasuke, everyone including Class Zero is on their way back to the village. They will probably all be back at noon tomorrow."

"Tsunade-sama, Uchiha Sasuke should be considered a traitor, right? Should we issue a wanted order to the outside world, or let the ANBU do it?"

"No need, let's stop this matter," Tsunade said decisively, directly interrupting Shizune's words.

"I still owe a lot of debts, and I can still issue a wanted warrant. There aren't enough ninjas to defend the village. If I send ANBU out again,"

Tsunade thought twice and suppressed the idea of ​​announcing to the outside world that Sasuke had betrayed Konoha.
