Naruto: The rope tree is cold, can you save it?

"These two are the son and daughter-in-law of Chiyo from Sunagakure Village."

In the ward, Sakumo explained to Chiyo: "Not long after the Sandaime Kazekage came to power, all the power of Sunagakure is in the hands of Chiyo. Now that these two people are hostages, Sunagakure will definitely take action!"

"I see."

Chiba nodded. What Sakumo said was similar to what he had guessed.

What is the war about? Benefits!

Why did Hatake Sakumo go to such great lengths to resuscitate two enemies? It must be because their "aliveness" could bring greater benefits to Konoha, regardless of whether they asked Sunagakure to cut off territory to pay compensation, or voluntarily surrendered or something.

"You don't have to go to other war zones to perform rescue missions. I'll send someone to take you back to the previous war zone, and you can stay there and be on standby." Sakumo said with a smile.

"Thank you, Lord Sakumo!" Chiba's eyes lit up and she thanked him.

The battle area where he was previously, that is, the battle area that Orochimaru was responsible for, was located at the rear of the battlefield. The enemy had been almost wiped out. If he stayed there on standby, wouldn't he be allowed to survive in an open and honest manner?

"Sakumo-sama, will our war with Sunagakure end soon?" Chiba asked.

"No." Sakumo shook his head and said in a cold tone: "Not enough people have died in Sunagakure, we have to wait."

……

A month later.

The war zone that Orochimaru is responsible for is in an independent camp.

"Sigh, I don't know when Team Leader Nohara will come back."

Qianye lay paralyzed on the bed belonging to the rope tree, spinning a scalpel in his hand, watching boredly as the rope tree moved slowly around the tent on crutches.

Since returning from the fight, there have been no injured people to treat him, so taking care of the rope tree has become his exclusive task.

"Tsk tsk, it should be said that he is of the Thousand Hands bloodline. He was almost burned to charcoal before, but he can move on his own so quickly."

"Let's just say that when Dazhu committed suicide with a kunai, Master Madara actually believed it. She was really beautiful and charming!" Chiba thought boredly.

"Hey, Chiba, what are you doing?"

Panting, Naoshu leaned against the bed, threw the crutches to the ground, and said with a smile: "When I get better, I will teach you how to fight and practice."

"Dama." Chiba shook his head and refused without even thinking: "I am a medical ninja, why should I learn from those messy things?"

"Learn to defend yourself." Shengshu curled his lips and said: "Slender dogs like you, when I am in good health, I can fight twenty of them."

"Ha." Qianye sneered, not to be outdone and said, "If you hadn't been sick, I would have pushed you to the ground and rubbed you back and forth right now."

"Chiba!"

"The Rope Tree!"

Both of them have lively personalities and have a life-saving bond. They have become familiar with each other after being together for so long. It is common for them to quarrel like today.

"Orochimaru, get out of here!"

While the two were playing around, a loud shout echoed throughout the camp.

"...It's my sister's voice."

After the two looked at each other, Naoshu said happily: "Quick, quick, Qianye, carry me out quickly!"

Chiba rolled his eyes: "Why don't you go out on crutches by yourself? Do you have no hands or feet?"

"I'm tired!" Shengshu said confidently: "Is this how you take care of me? Do you believe that I will sue my sister and let her punch you to death?"

"You guy!"

Qianye was speechless for a moment. He sat up from the bed angrily, picked up the rope tree in a princess hug, and rushed out of the tent.

The rope tree people were stunned: "Qianye, what are you doing?!"

Qianye didn't say anything, he didn't want to do anything, he just wanted to mess with the rope tree.

Bang!

As soon as the two people left the camp, there was a muffled sound, and then, a figure flew in front of the two people and slammed into the woods not far away.

Rope tree: Σ(?д?|||)??

Chiba: (*???)!!

"The person who flew over just now seems to be Lord Orochimaru?" Chiba said with some uncertainty.

"Damn it, it seems like he really is a teacher!" Looking at the familiar figure stuck in the tree, Shengshu nodded repeatedly.

pat, pat.

When Qianye turned around again, a beautiful figure had already walked in front of him, looking at him condescendingly.

"Gudu."

This is a blond woman in her early twenties, with exquisite facial features, a good figure, and the irresistible aura of a rich... rich man.

There is no doubt that she is the elder sister Naoki mentioned - Tsunade!

("Friend's Young Sister")

"Are you Chiba?"

Tsunade glanced at her brother lying in Chiba's arms, narrowed her eyes, and moved her gaze to Chiba's face.

"Yes, yes, Tsunade-sama."

Chiba was slightly nervous. Orochimaru almost flew towards his face just now. Tsunade's feeling of oppression was indeed a bit strong.

"Don't be nervous, Chiba, my sister is very nice." Naoshu said with a smile.

Tsunade frowned and scolded: "Stop being so playful and smiling, Naoki, I'll talk about your problem later!"

"Oh……"

Naoshu shut his mouth obediently. He had a hunch that after he recovered from his injury, he would have to break again.

Tsunade stopped looking at Chiba and said solemnly: "I heard about you. Thank you for saving my brother. I owe you a favor."

"Okay, I will contact you if necessary." Chiba agreed without refusing.

Sometimes being too polite will only make people unhappy. If you accept the benefits from others, it will bring you closer to each other.

"Well, you are a good boy, and you are to my liking."

Sure enough, after hearing that Chiba accepted her favor, Tsunade showed a satisfied smile.

"Hmm, you think I can do it till my stomach..." Qianye thought to himself.

"Okay, tell me about Shengshu's current physical condition."

"Okay, Tsunade-sama."

……

The war between Konoha and Sunagakure is over, which is why Tsunade can escape from the front line.

Sakumo's several surprise attacks completely destroyed Sunagakure's morale, and with the hostages in hand, Sunagakure had to surrender to Konoha.

The war between the two countries, Wind and Fire, has come to an end. In terms of results, the Fire Country is slightly better.

Konoha Hidden Village, in a certain meeting room.

As the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen sat on the stage, smoking his pipe and quietly waiting for all the participants to arrive.

Although the war between Konoha and Sunagakure is over, the confrontation with Iwagakure's army continues, which is why Sarutobi Hiruzen held this strategic meeting.

Those who can participate in the meeting are the backbone of Konoha, such as Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Tsunade and others, who are nicknamed "Konoha Sannin" by Sansho Hanzo.

Therefore, when a young face appeared in the conference room, many people showed surprise.

"Chiba-kun, we meet again." Orochimaru greeted the visitor with a smile.

"Chiba, your kid is here too." Tsunade also said carelessly.

"Chiba." Even Sakumo, who was always cold, nodded slightly towards the visitor.

At this time, the unsuspecting people were even more surprised, and an idea suddenly rose in their hearts.

"Who is this kid? He is so grand?"

That's right, Chiba was also invited to participate in this strategic meeting because of his outstanding contribution in the war against Sunagakure (saving Scorpion's parents).

"Lord Orochimaru, Lord Tsunade, Lord Sakumo."

After returning the greetings one by one, Chiba found a corner where no one was paying attention and sat down. He was just here to make up the numbers, and he still had this self-awareness.

"Okay, everyone is here, let's get started." At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen on the stage said.

Before Hiruzen finished speaking, Tsunade suddenly stood up and said loudly: "I have something to say!"

"This war has exposed many problems. I think it is necessary to reform Konoha's current medical ninjas and ensure that each team is equipped with a combat-effective medical ninja!"

"Tsunade, we've discussed this before."

Sarutobi Hiruzen rubbed his eyebrows and said with a headache: "Now that we are at war with Iwagakure, how can we have the time and energy to reform?"

"What did you say, stinky old man?"

Tsunade's eyes widened, she slapped the table and said angrily: "If we don't reform as soon as possible, it will only lead to more people dying!"

"..."

The conference room fell into a brief silence.

No one spoke for Tsunade, not even her two friends who grew up together. After all, on the other side was the Sandaime Hokage.

"Well, I support Tsunade-sama's opinion."

In the crowd, a man with long green-blue hair hesitated. Just as he was about to stand up to support Tsunade's opinion, a weak voice sounded from the corner.
