Konoha's New Third Hokage

Hearing that the research progress of the antidote had encountered some difficulties, Inuzuka Shigeru and other camp leaders immediately gathered to discuss the matter. Tsunade explained her research results to everyone, saying that some of the ingredients in the poison used by Chiyo were unique. If you want to detoxify plants belonging to the Kingdom of Wind, you must obtain corresponding samples.

"In other words, do you need to enter the Kingdom of Wind to find these plants?" Inuzuka Shigeru asked with a slight frown.

"Yes." Tsunade nodded and said, "If not, I may not be able to make the antidote. I have figured out how to detoxify it, but I need materials."

"Can't we use medicinal materials from the Land of Fire instead? There should be some rare medicinal materials in the Nara family's medicine field." Inuzuka Shigeru said after a deep groan.

"Although it's not impossible, it will take a very long time. Uncle Shigeru also knows that the war is imminent now. If we fail to solve the poison problem in one day, our army will face an unfavorable situation." Tsunade said.

"Is it really that troublesome?"

"Uncle Mao is not a medical ninja. He may not know what it is like to find substitute medicinal materials. It is not something that can be found casually. It requires many experiments. According to my estimation, it is likely to be The unit is years." Tsunade said seriously.

When Inuzuka Shigeru heard this, he felt that it was impossible to use other medicinal materials to make the antidote. It would be too long in terms of years. Now that the Sunagakure Ninja Village was coming menacingly, delaying for one year would cause no idea what kind of losses it would cause. Even the allies may be in danger, so they can only adopt Tsunade's previous suggestion, but——

"Sneaking into the Kingdom of Wind is not a very troublesome matter, but rare medicinal materials used to make poisons should be cultivated in the Sunagakure Ninja Village. It is probably impossible to sneak in and find the medicinal materials. "Inuzuka Shigeru said.

Others nodded. It was not that they didn't know that finding medicinal materials on the spot was the best way. They only considered whether to find substitute medicinal materials after considering the dangers involved.But Tsunade had just rejected the possibility of replacing the medicinal materials, so everyone could only think about whether they could get the medicinal materials from the Sunagakure ninja village.

"Medical materials also grow in the mirror of the Kingdom of Wind, right? There should be wild ones. Can we look for wild ones?" someone suggested.

"Idiot. Let's not say whether Sunagakure Ninja Village will transplant and cultivate them. If this is a rare medicinal material, when will it be found in the vast desert?" Someone immediately retorted.

"It's not a rare medicinal material, but it's not common either." Tsunade said, "I know it will be very troublesome to sneak into the Sunagakure Ninja Village. We can start from other aspects."

"Other aspects?" Others looked at Tsunade, waiting for her next answer.

"I heard that in the past, when the Sunagakure Ninja Village solved its financial problems, they usually looked for sand gold hidden in the sand and sold it to merchants in the Country of Wind. But in addition, they also had another export product, that These are the medicinal materials cultivated by the Sunagakure Ninja Village." Tsunade smiled slightly.

"Oh, it's about learning how the village establishes branches outside the country and sells medicines." Inuzuka Shigeru immediately woke up, "Indeed, the Sunagakure Ninja Village seems to have used similar methods. Their medical level is not good, and they can only sell drugs that are easy to use. The medicinal materials - I understand, it is naturally very troublesome to get the medicinal materials from the Sunagakure Ninja Village, but it is different from other people."

"Fortunately, this is not a rare medicinal material." Tsunade was obviously a little lucky. "I don't know their specific sales situation, but the medicinal materials I need should be sold in large quantities. I think it can be used by the ANBU or others in the Kingdom of Wind. People from the intelligence department made a table based on the collected information to find people who might purchase these medicinal materials."

Everyone obviously agrees with this method. Compared with entering the enemy's base camp, Sunagakure Ninja Village, the risk of starting from other places will be greatly reduced.With the strength of ninjas, as long as they don't encounter ninjas of the same strength or above, few people can compete with them. Of course, it is impossible for ordinary people who purchase medicinal materials to keep those medicinal materials.

"Okay, I will propose this matter to the Sandaime." Seeing that no one had any objections, Inuzuka Shigeru quickly agreed. However, the only one who can order the ANBU to take action is the Hokage, so Masaki Fengmori still needs to know about this matter. Only Masaki Fengmori can fully mobilize the power of the intelligence department.

Although Tsunade has no way to make an antidote yet, she can relieve the symptoms and allow the poisoned person to persevere, but there is not much time left for everyone, because the Sunagakure ninja troops are pressing forward step by step, except for the intelligence department. , the combat troops must also go all out.

Inuzuka Shigeru sent a letter to Konoha's Second Ninja Force in the Rain Country, telling them to attack as hard as possible to contain the forces of the Sunagakure Ninja Village and threaten its homeland.Due to the environment in the Country of Rain, the use of gaseous medicines will be greatly affected in heavy rain and humid conditions. Coupled with the influence of the terrain, the pressure on the Konoha ninja troops there is lighter than that in the Country of Grass. .

The next thing is not something that Tsunade can participate in. She is just a medical ninja. Even if she has the status of a jounin, she is still a medical ninja. Even if she speaks, she may not be taken seriously by everyone. A person who has never participated in specific war planning A ninja, no matter how high his status is, can easily be regarded as an armchair warrior.

After Tsunade left the camp, she went to see Asuna. Asuna's health has been much better these days. Tsunade didn't feel anything during her examination, but she was a little concerned about why she was like this.

Because Tsunade signed a contract with Shigulin, she didn't know anything about immortal magic. Asuna told her the reason and was prepared to be scolded.Sure enough, when she heard that Asuna's body was affected by overuse of natural energy, she was immediately frightened. She knew the dangers of fairy magic. She had no idea of ​​learning fairy magic until now. For Asuna's impulsive behavior She did not hesitate to verbally scold him for his behavior.

Asuna didn't have any thoughts to refute, she just bowed her head and accepted it. She knew that she couldn't confront others when faced with this kind of thing. It would make the other person more and more angry. She would just wait until the other person's anger was over.After Tsunade scolded Asuna and saw Asuna looking repentant, she didn't say anything.

At this time, Hatake Sakumo had finished the war meeting and returned here. Seeing this, Tsunade immediately pulled Hatake Sakumo outside and said to him: "What are you doing? Asuna stays in your class." , just to ask you to protect her, but she almost died, so she shouldn’t be allowed to use that kind of technique."

Hatake Sakumo was also very upset about this matter. Although it was because of Asuna's own choices and his own inability to take care of others, it was also due to his own incompetence to a certain extent.

However, when Hatake Sakumo heard Tsunade talking about that jutsu, he knew that Tsunade knew the power Asuna used, and asked what kind of jutsu it was that had such great side effects.

"It's hard to tell in detail, but you just need to know that it is a kind of magic called senjutsu." Tsunade said, "This thing is very dangerous, but don't let Asuna use this kind of power easily again. Even if it is used, it must be controlled within a certain range.”

"I know that I will let her have a good rest in the next battle, and the rest of us will take care of the rest." Hatake Sakumo replied.

“这么说，你们已经决定好作战的方针吧。”纲手的细眉微微一挑，“既然我在这里，你们就不必担心，即便是中毒，我也可以暂时保住性命，全力去作战就好.”

"Speaking of which, Heizou should be operating within the Kingdom of Wind. It may be his mission to collect the information you need." Hatake Sakumo said.

"Really, then it can be considered a long-lost cooperation between the three of us." Tsunade heard this and couldn't help but smile. With the current situation, it is equivalent to Hatake Sakumo being in charge of combat, Tsunade being in charge of medical treatment, and Hattori Heizo being in charge. In intelligence collection, even if the three of them are not in the same class, they still cooperate in other ways.

"I don't know how he is doing now." Speaking of Hattori Heizo, Tsunade missed this taciturn fellow student because Hattori Heizo joined the ANBU. Under normal circumstances, there were almost no opportunities to meet him, and there were only flags. I met Ki Sakumo several times when I was in the Land of Rain.

"The last time I heard that he was performing in the Earth Kingdom, after the Earth Kingdom officially joined the war, there was no need for him to stay in the Earth Kingdom. Although the third Tsuchikage had no scruples in ordering the ANBU of the Iwagakure Ninja Village Although he pursued him, he was still escaped by his team," Hatake Sakumo said.

"Ah, that guy is really awesome. He was very talented at this kind of thing before, so he is very suitable for that position." Tsunade said.

Just when they were talking about Hattori Heizo, Hattori Heizo, who was in the Kingdom of Wind, also thought of the two of them. He knew that the poison used by the Sunagakure Ninja Village caused trouble to the village's troops. He heard that Tsunade had arrived. Once in the Land of Grass, Chiyo's poison should be cured soon.

Hattori Heizo was naturally very confident in the abilities of his fellow sect member. He never doubted that Tsunade would not be able to detoxify.Therefore, he focused all his energy on his mission. Now the team's mission is to collect intelligence on officials in the Kingdom of Wind and prepare the ground for assassination when necessary.

Masaki Fengmori's battle against the Kingdom of Wind is a dual military and political oppression. The so-called war is the continuation of politics. To solve the problem of the Kingdom of Wind, it is not just about suppressing the Sunagakure Ninja Village, but also to solve the Kingdom of Wind. political issues.Now Sunagakure Ninja Village can start a war only because of the sudden death of the previous daimyo, and the new king is a complete martial artist, which has just contributed to the current situation.

Masaki Fengmori believes that despite the close cooperation between the Kingdom of Wind and the Sunagakure Ninja Village, in fact this is because the needs of the new king and the Sunagakure Ninja Village are consistent, because the death of the previous daimyo was very hasty and will inevitably leave behind many As for the minor political issues, in his view, the Court of the Kingdom of Wind was by no means without any complaints about the new king who ascended the throne.

According to the intelligence currently collected by ANBU, many people in the Kingdom of Wind court suspect that there is a conspiracy behind the death of the previous daimyo. It may be the actions of the new king of the Kingdom of Wind. Regardless of whether the daimyo is really the result of the conspiracy. Harm, or natural death, these are all articles that can be used.

Compared with other countries, the relationship between the court of the Kingdom of Wind and the Sunagakure Ninja Village is very delicate. They were opposed to each other in the past, but now they stand together because of the same needs, but as long as things go wrong again, to some extent they will It will affect the strategic policy of Sunagakure Ninja Village.

Therefore, Fengmori Masaki attaches great importance to the political trends of the Kingdom of Wind, and orders the intelligence personnel lurking in to collect relevant information. If he just wants to end the war, he only needs to find the main militant faction of the Kingdom of Wind, or give the new monarch to If you kill them, you can end the war quickly.

However, Fengmori Masaki planned to completely eliminate the Kingdom of Wind in this war. The political structure of the Kingdom of Wind after the war must be affected. The information required must be very detailed, including the position of each local noble and official. We must clearly understand which ideas can be used and which ones cannot.

The intelligence personnel operating in the Kingdom of Wind soon received a direct order from the Hokage - because of the need to detoxify, the intelligence personnel immediately collected information about the medicinal materials exported from the Sunagakure Ninja Village and found the medicinal materials that Tsunade needed. Intelligence, and find a way to grab it - this order made the intelligence personnel slightly startled. They did not expect that they would be needed to detoxify, but after just a moment of surprise, they devoted themselves to the task.

Hattori Heizo also received this order. He was also a little surprised. In his heart, he admired Chiyo from Sunagakure Ninja Village. He was indeed capable of putting his fellow disciples in such trouble, but that was all. Since Tsunade needed information on medicinal materials, he would just go and get it.

The Sunagakure Ninja Village has already tried its best in this war. Just maintaining the troops on the western front has left the defense of the base camp of the Sunagakure Ninja Village empty. As long as a strong force can be put in again, it can completely attack the empty Sunagakure. The Hidden Ninja Village, just because of the all-out combat and poison gas tactics of the Sunagakure Ninja Village troops on the Western Front, Konoha Ninja Village is very cautious.

It is precisely because the Sunagakure Ninja Village cannot do its best to control domestic intelligence. At most, it can only protect important personnel, while ordinary people or those with lower status do not have the extra strength to protect them, and it happens that Tsunade wants to protect them. The medicinal materials needed are not very precious, and anyone with a certain status can buy them.

With the efforts of the intelligence personnel, the purchasing direction of this medicinal material was found out. Many of them were ordinary businessmen with little protection ability, and it was certain that they also had preserved medicinal materials. This undoubtedly made the intelligence The staff breathed a sigh of relief. If they were all used up, there would really be some trouble.
