Naruto: The will of fire has nothing to do with my Uchiha

Tsunade handed the note from the ninja to Sasuke,

"I heard from Naruto that you can use flying ninjutsu?"

She didn't care that Naruto might have let something slip. God knows what kind of trouble Konoha would use to get information. The fact that Tsunade asked about such a small matter uncertainly also indirectly showed that no key information had been leaked.

"can."

"Can we go back to Konoha tonight?"

After taking a few glances at the contents of the paper, Sasuke could roughly guess what Tsunade was planning.

"no problem."

The whole drama was played out. In front of the Raikage, Tsunade chose to go to the trouble of summoning a small slug to Sasuke. There is no more convenient "tiger talisman" than this, which not only indicates one's identity, but also has the function of communication that almost ignores distance.

"Guard the village for me. There may be invasions at night. Report all the situations over there to me in real time."

It also did not say which personnel could be mobilized.

"Yes."

With limited means, Sasuke had completely anticipated Obito's sneak attack on the rear.

What a pity. Based on the principle of less trouble is worse than more, Sasuke came here of course to create an alibi under the nose of his master. However, the reason why an accident is called an accident is because it is unforeseeable.

Is this a hint to let myself go?

Probably not. This behavior is a bit absurd for Tsunade, a Hokage. This situation is more like not having time to think about it...

Tsunade was also proficient in chakra perception, and she knew very well whether Sasuke was nearby or not. With such a mission, it was meaningless to stay at the front line without returning to Konoha, and it was unnecessary to expose the ability to cast shadow clones from a distance in advance. I was thinking of being polite, but now I have to forget it.

"Since the situation is urgent, I will leave now."

"Although the current situation in Konoha should not be serious, the Hidden Cloud Village has discovered that the Akatsuki organization has taken people away. The villages along your way may have been attacked."

After the Raikage's reminder, and considering that Sasuke was their own ninja, Tsunade had no choice but to give a few more words of advice before wrapping up.

"After that, I will quickly come up with a detailed plan of arrangements with Shikaku and the others. It will probably be about the same time that you return to Konoha."

"learn."

Sasuke and the little slug disappeared like a whirlwind.

"It looks like the Hokage isn't planning on returning to the village."

"I have already made arrangements for Konoha, so nothing will go wrong. But you, Raikage, are so close to the village, don't you plan to go back and keep an eye on it?"

The Akatsuki organization attacked Konoha in the past, and the current situation is a pit that is miserable just by looking at the words. It is not advisable to place the logistics of the coalition forces directly in the village this time. Anyway, for the sake of the coalition forces' communication arrangements, a new communication formation must be set up. According to the estimated range of the traces of the battle between Sasuke and the Outer Path Demon Statue remaining around Konoha, it is better to simply establish a temporary base camp dozens of kilometers outside the Hidden Cloud Village as a battlefield springboard.

Indeed, something has happened in the village, and it would seem a bit pretentious if we don't go back even though we are so far away.

"Of course the best defense is counterattack!"

"Didn't I just send you an invitation to attend the meeting? If the discussion is passed, I think we can start the encirclement and suppression operation immediately."

As the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, the Raikage only needs to be responsible for being radical. As long as it helps boost morale, it's good. Anyway, there will always be someone to come up with a more reasonable and feasible plan.

As expected, Tsunade quickly spoke out to stop him.

"There's no rush for tonight."

"Even if the meeting passes and the order is issued, and the troops are dispatched from the rear, we can't expect tens of thousands of ninjas to move at night to have any concealment effect. On the contrary, the white thing has more advantages. No matter how you think about it, it would be more appropriate to do it at daybreak."

But as the Raikage said, the war has officially begun on the other side, and the people of Akatsuki have no worries. The initiative is always in their hands, and it is not a good idea to keep on passively defending.

"Your slug can stay that far away?"

"It's just a small slug clone. It won't be a problem to keep it going for a few more hours."

Although Tsunade told the Raikage not to get excited, she was actually a little bit nervous in her heart, but it was not because she was nervous.

As a ninja of Konoha, he has already experienced hundreds of battles. Now he is facing the battlefield again. He has become Hokage, but his old friends are nowhere to be seen.

"It's great to have an Uchiha as a disciple, Tsunade. It seems Sasuke is much more obedient than the rumors say."

"Raikage, what do you mean?"

"I think it's a good idea to transfer Sasuke away from the front lines to avoid suspicion."

Tsunade heard the hidden meaning in the words of the Raikage. It was not easy to keep the affairs of the Fire City secret. However, when he blurted out the conclusion of "avoiding suspicion", people could not help but delay for two seconds.

"You think too much."

-

Sasuke only needs a thought to go to Konoha, or... no matter what, now he has to let his clone take the little slug and fly in the sky for a few hours.

Konoha, which was attacked, was in a sensitive period. Almost all the Anbu elites around the Hokage were taken to the front line. A figure suddenly appeared on the Hokage Building. The masked ninja who greeted Sasuke seemed a little nervous about this unconventional outsider entering the village, and drew the Bitterness by his side.

"Hokage-sama, let me be responsible for conveying the situation of the village."

"Who is in charge of the situation in the village, and how have the losses been counted?"

Seeing the Hokage's iconic slug on Sasuke's shoulder, the Anbu relaxed a little, but he did not dare to be careless. Before Sasuke could finish his question, two more Anbu formed a triangle and surrounded him from behind.

Then, a ninja with a slug also appeared.

"The identity has been confirmed, it is Sasuke-sama."

The Anbu who had been facing each other with weapons immediately knelt on one knee.

"Sasuke-sama, I'm very sorry. The previous enemies will become our own people, so we need sensory ninjas to identify them."

Sasuke waved his hand and helped the man up.

"Hokage-sama asked me to be in charge of delivering messages between the two places. Who is in charge in the village now?"

This is the second time I asked. If I could say that he was alert before, the Anbu in front of me is still hesitant.

Looking at the two masked men behind him, no one spoke first.

"Why don't you speak?"

Looking at the errand boy who came to verify his identity, without a mask, he really gave people a feeling of being unavoidable.

"Um, Sasuke-sama...are you asking which person is in charge?"

"What aspect? Now that the Hokage is not here, who is in charge of Konoha's overall affairs?!"

"This, this...it's a bit complicated..."

Sasuke concentrated a little, and the truth began to spill out of his mouth like beans.

"It's not just Hokage-sama who's gone,"

"Hokage-sama has also taken away the heads of various departments,"

"Most of the supervisors took their second-in-command with them,"

"The heads of all the families have also left, taking many people with them..."

"Anbu, Intelligence, Perception, Medical, and Civilians, each of you is responsible for your own affairs."

"Everyone is very conscious, conscious..."

"There was an enemy attack earlier, and after it was finally quelled, a message was sent to Hokage-sama, and we are waiting for arrangements."

The Anbu members also breathed a sigh of relief, but were also worried about the guy who was under the spell.

This is not something I said voluntarily or by myself, so I don't have to worry about being responsible for saying the wrong thing or offending anyone, which feels really good.
