After traveling through time, I became friends with Tsunade

The main gate of Konoha.

At Hatake Sakumo's feet followed the ninja dog Puck, who was borrowed from Kakashi.

The rest of the people were ready, and Master Uchiha Xuan didn't have much to say, so he just said softly:

"All hands on deck."

"and many more!"

Jiraiya ran out in an instant, and the ninja guarding the village gate quickly chased after him and hugged him tightly: "Master Jiraiya, where are your procedures for leaving the village?"

"it's here!"

Jiraiya casually tossed it aside, "Go check it out yourselves, we need to leave."

"Master Jiraiya, what are you doing?"

Jiraiya grabbed Uchiha Genshi's neck and said enthusiastically:

"I finally convinced the Fourth Hokage to let me go to the Sand Village with you. Don't worry, I know I will follow your instructions in everything."

Uchiha Genshi watched the ninja guarding the gate check the certificate of leaving the village and confirmed that there was no problem, then he nodded slightly. Since there is a certificate of leaving the village, it means that what Jiraiya said is true.

After watching the ninja team of more than a hundred people gradually disappear, a ninja guarding the gate couldn't help but sigh:

"Master Jiraiya has finally grown up. He finally knows to ask the Fourth Hokage to leave the village instead of forcing his way out."

"Yes!"

Another ninja gently stroked the Hokage's official seal on the certificate of leaving the village, "Only strong people like Jiraiya can stamp the Hokage's official seal..."

As he was speaking and touching the official seal, it suddenly faded. He looked at the red marks on his fingers, and then shouted in the direction they disappeared.

"Master Jiraiya..."

......

"Jiraiya left the village without permission again?"

Yusuke looked at the certificate of leaving the village sent by the Anbu and sighed helplessly.

Jiraiya can never get rid of this bad habit. If he wants to leave the village, wouldn't he tell me?

Of course, even if he said it, I would definitely not agree.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been so busy recently, and Minato Namikaze has been sent out on a mission by himself. Now that Jiraiya is gone, isn't this just pushing all the responsibilities onto himself again?

"Call Yuhi Shinku, Akimichi Dotoshi, and Inuzuka E."

There is no other choice but to divide these tasks among the three of them.

Yuhi Shinku is in charge of the Anbu, but there is not much going on in the Anbu recently, so let him serve as the Minister of Foreign Affairs part-time.

Akimichi Doto and Inuzuka Eru were completely tricked by Jiraiya. After all, they were Jiraiya's disciples, so he could only let them serve as deputy directors part-time.

Hey......

He became the Hokage with real power, but no one took over the position of Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Originally, Yusuke had his eyes on the retired Nara Shikama, but in order to train Nara Shikaku, he temporarily let him return to the position of assistant to the Hokage to play a role.

We can only wait for Nara Shikaku to come back, and then hand over the position of minister to him in a firm manner.

......

Uchiha Xuanshi and his group of hundreds of people had been on the journey for nearly a day.

Although they were not heading to their own ninja village for rescue, but were heading to their allied country for assistance, their advancement speed was still very fast.

They crossed the Land of Fire, crossed the Land of Rivers in the middle, and then entered the Land of Wind.

However, just after entering the Kingdom of Wind, they encountered a severe sandstorm.

The sky was covered with dust, visibility was terribly low, and the wind and sand mercilessly hit people's faces, making people extremely uncomfortable.

What made them most frustrated was that the wind and sand had blinded their eyes, and they could not even tell who was next to them within one meter.

In desperation, they could only ask the ninjas who were good at earth escape to urgently build a shelter that could accommodate two hundred people.

In any case, they have to wait until this severe sandstorm passes before they can continue moving forward.

After all, this is the safest way to do it. Otherwise, I can't even take care of myself, so how can I help the Sand Village?

I don’t know if they will still have time to help the Sand Village to catch up with the One-Tailed Shukaku after they get there.

As for those patients in the Sand Village who could not get treatment, they were even more helpless.

The sandstorm lasted for half a day, but the night was not suitable for traveling, so they could only stay in the shelter and wait for daybreak to set off again.

Although the temperature difference between day and night in the desert is particularly large, it does not have a particularly big impact on ninjas.

Finally, just as the sky was getting light, Jiraiya woke everyone up.

The purpose of his coming this time was very simple, which was to cooperate with many ninjas to capture Nagato who was controlled by Black Zetsu.

They all knew nothing about Nagato's Sharingan being taken away, including Yusuke.

It took another long time, and Uchiha Genshi and about a hundred other people finally arrived at the Sand Village when it was almost dark.

It shouldn't have been so late originally. It was all Jiraiya's fault for leading the way carelessly, which resulted in a lot of delay.

At this time, there was almost no intact house in the Sand Village, and everywhere was full of potholes.

In the central area, there are many stones that are several meters or even dozens of meters long scattered around.

"Jiraiya? I didn't expect you guys to come so quickly, that's great!"

Ebizo, one of the few people in the Sand Village who was not injured, immediately came over, his voice full of joy.

However, when he saw Hatake Sakumo also coming, his eyes flashed with a hint of confusion.

Fortunately, they asked Konoha for help, but they didn't have much hope at first.

He thought Konoha would just send a few people to deal with it, but he didn't expect that they would send a ninja team of a hundred people. He knew all the leaders, which was really great.

Fortunately, he listened to his sister and asked for reinforcements from Konoha. Now seeing Konoha's support, Ebizo's heart finally settled down.

"Thank you everyone from Konoha for coming!"

Ebizo bowed deeply to express his gratitude, and Uchiha Genshi hurried forward, "I am the person in charge of this rescue operation, Uchiha Genshi!"

Uchiha Genshi?

Ebizo knew him. He was famous for being one of Yusuke's first guards, and his own strength was that of an elite jonin.

However, Jiraiya and Hatake Sakumo, who are stronger than him, did not become the person in charge. It seems that Konoha has considered everything very carefully.

"Hello. Let's go into the village now..."

When the village was mentioned, Ebizo looked lost again.

There is no village anymore, just a pile of wreckage...

However, he quickly adjusted his mentality and looked at Hatake Sakumo at the same time.

"Hatake Sakumo. My sister has never gotten over that incident.

I hope you can forgive my sister's unreasonable behavior in a moment."
