"Don't worry, you and I have nothing to worry about, just go by yourself, I will go back to Konoha later."

"Whatever you want."

…………

After breakfast, after Kakuzu left, Uchiha Chiba set out on the road back to Konoha.

One day later.

Uchiha Chiba in the air saw the three human head statues on the stone wall behind the mountain of Konoha from a distance, and he also fell from the air.

Since it was almost Konoha, there was no need to continue flying.

After returning to Konoha, Uchiha Chiba's first thing was to find Tsunade. After all, the two had agreed to go back to Konoha together when they were in the capital of the Land of Fire.

But because of Kakuzu, he also missed the appointment. He now estimated that Tsunade should be very angry.

What to do now is to comfort her quickly, otherwise if Tsunade continues to be angry, the benefit of kissing will probably be gone.

Because it was the weekend, Uchiha Chiba went directly to the Senju clan.

After knocking on Tsunade's door, the person who appeared was Uzumaki Kushina.

"Hey, it's you, Chiba, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"Kushina, is Tsunade-san at home?" Uchiha Chiba directly stated his purpose.

"Tsunade-san, she went out for something."

Uchiha Chiba was a little speechless. The last time he came to see Tsunade, it was the same. The only difference was that the person who opened the door for him changed from Senju Nawaki to Uzumaki Kushina.

"Kushina, do you know where Tsunade-san went?"

Uzumaki Kushina recalled, "She went to the Hokage Building. An Anbu person came to see Tsunade-san early this morning, and then he said something to her. Tsunade-san followed him without even having breakfast."

"Is that so? I thought she was away again," Uchiha Chiba breathed a sigh of relief, "Since Tsunade-san is not here, I'll leave first, Kushina."

"Well, bye."

After learning that Tsunade was only going to the Hokage Building, Uchiha Chiba did not go there immediately. Judging from the information revealed in Uzumaki Kushina's words just now, something important must have happened, so the third generation would call Tsunade over so early.

In that case, he would not join in the fun, and it would be the same if he came to see Tsunade tomorrow.

…………

Hokage Building.

The office was already full of people at this moment.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, Mito Kado En, Utainen Koharu, Uchiha Tanaka, and the patriarchs of the Hyuga clan, Ino-Shika-cho and Aburame are all on this list.

Of course, Tsunade, Jiraiya and Orochimaru are also among them.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep puff of his pipe and glanced at everyone, then slowly said, "You have all heard about the Daimyo's mansion in Kawanokuni, right?"

Everyone nodded in unison, but Tsunade asked directly, "Old man, what's the matter with the Immortal Duo? How dare they steal the Daimyo's mansion?"

"I don't know either. I only learned about this news last night. The Daimyo attaches great importance to this matter, so he wants us to send some people to see this Immortal Duo."

Sarutobi Hiruzen continued, "And the Daimyo also asked us to send some jonin from Konoha to protect the Daimyo's mansion."

Sarutobi Hiruzen could understand the Daimyo's order, after all, this Immortal Duo had threatened the wealth of their nobles.

And it's not just the Fire Country that did this. The daimyo of other countries probably also issued the same order to the ninja villages in their countries.

You know, before the appearance of this immortal duo, no one had ever stolen anything from the daimyo's mansion. Since these two dared to attack the River Country, who knows if they will attack the five major countries next?

Moreover, if they dare to steal things today, will they dare to kill people tomorrow?

Although three people died in the River Country this time, all three of them were ninjas. Although they had nothing to do with the nobles, no one can guarantee it, right?

That's why the daimyo gave this order to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Hokage-sama, the daimyo asked to send a jonin to the capital. Has the candidate problem been solved?" said the head of the Hyuga clan.

Uchiha Tanaka glanced at the head of the Hyuga clan. He didn't expect that the Hyuga clan was quite positive about this matter. It seems that he should have some ideas about this matter.

"Not yet, so I asked you to discuss it."

In fact, the order given to him by the daimyo was to send a team of Anbu to the capital. After all, the ninjas who can enter the Anbu are the elite among the elites. If he really did this, that team of Anbu would basically be given to the daimyo.

And Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't want to just say goodbye to the Anbu trained by Konoha, but he couldn't disobey the daimyo's order. If he just found some ordinary ninjas to fill the number, the daimyo would not be satisfied.

So he thought of letting these ninjasThe clan will send some people. After all, the ninjas present are all well-known in the ninja world. Even if the daimyo is not satisfied, it will be difficult to say anything.

"Since the candidates have not been determined, I will recommend my Hyuga clan. Lord Hokage, you know that our Hyuga clan's Byakugan has the ability to see through things from a long distance. Even a fly can escape our clan's eyes."

The Hyuga clan leader stood up and walked to the center of the office.

The clan leaders of other clans did not speak when they saw this. After all, for them, protecting the daimyo could not bring them any practical benefits.

Unless they marry the daimyo, but everyone knows that the daimyo has only one boy, and he is only eleven or twelve years old now.

It's too early to talk about marriage.

When the Hyuga clan leader saw that no one was competing with him for this job, he was happy, but then he was helpless.

In fact, he didn't want to send his clan members to the capital. Just like other clan leaders thought, sending people to the capital would not be of any benefit, and it would also lose the power of the family.

But he had no choice. Although the Hyuga clan and the Uchiha clan were known as the two major eye-jutsu families in the ninja world, everyone knew that their Byakugan was only slightly better than the Sharingan in terms of reconnaissance.

If it was about combat power, the Byakugan was really no match for the Sharingan. After all, the evolution path of the Sharingan was clear, but the Byakugan could not evolve anyway.

So in order to keep the Hyuga clan's reputation as a eye-jutsu family, he had to think of some tricks.

"Well, yes, since you Hyuga are willing to go, then this task is up to you." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, "The daimyo asked to send at least three people. When you go back, think about which three people to send. After you are sure, just give me the list."

"By the way, remember that it must be a jonin." Sarutobi Hiruzen reminded again.

"Yes, Lord Hokage." The Hyuga clan leader nodded slightly.

"Okay, now that the candidate to be sent to the daimyo's mansion has been decided, let's discuss the candidate to investigate the immortal duo."

As soon as the voice fell, when others were about to speak, Orochimaru had already stood up, "Teacher, leave this matter to me."

"Hokage-sama, our Uchiha clan can also do this task." Uchiha Tanaka followed closely behind.
