[Hokage] One day to arrive

"The enemies that even Gengen and the others are losing... It's too dangerous to rely on them alone! Although Sand Ninja has sent out a mission to ask for support, they don't know when it will be in place. How can I not worry about this situation! "

Due to her outstanding hearing ability and the fact that she is too lazy to cover up the situation now, just as Lu Jiu walked to the entrance of the corridor, she heard Senju Tsunade's voice coming from the half-closed door in the distance. I don't have any impression, but now it seems that although her tone is a little anxious, she is not flustered.

"Tsunade..." The Third Hokage said to his disciples with a half-sigh, "In order to maintain the original position, it is indeed difficult for Konoha to recruit manpower, ahem...but there are still available people in the village. powerful."

Sarutobi Hiruzen is also very worried, whether it is Uchiha Sasuke who is suspected of defecting, Uzumaki Naruto who is determined to recover his companions, and even the children of the Shikamaru team who went with him, it is difficult not to care, so even if the body is still weak , but he still managed to come to Hokage's office.

Even before coming, he sent someone to invite someone he never thought he would invite.

"Look, isn't he here now?"

When Lu Jiu heard Sarutobi's words, he knew that the other party had noticed his arrival, so he pushed the door and walked in without knocking, looking calmly at the aging figure: "Three generations of Hokage ,long time no see."

Tsunade was startled, and quickly looked at Lu Jiu, who pushed the door open—appeared in his twenties, with smooth black straight hair casually draped, black clothes with dark patterns and black boots, like a bathrobe and There are many different places, exquisite but not delicate but extremely handsome. With an excessively fair complexion, the slender body looks a little sick.

"Long time no see, Lu Jiu." Hiruzaru Sarutobi replied with a smile.

"Available power?" Looking carefully at Lu Jiu, Tsunade was not very satisfied and directly criticized, "It looks more like a nobleman... Old man, you can't be talking about him, right?"

"Tsunade, don't underestimate Lu Jiu," Hiruzaru Sarutobi smiled slightly as if thinking of something, "Although I haven't made a move for many years, I believe that as a strong person, even if it is temporarily If you are in a comfortable place, you will never slack off."

"But I didn't see the forehead protection," Tsunade was still not at ease, "and I didn't seem to have seen any information about him when I sorted out the files before."

"Well... because Lu Jiu is not a ninja in the village, of course you can't find any information about him in those files." Hiruzaru Sarutobi shrugged, leaned on a cane and found a chair to sit down, "But if you look at Ruikaze... ...that is, Yuan Weiyang's files should have mentioned him, he is Yuan Weiyang's younger brother."

Lu Jiu tilted his head slightly, glanced at Tsunade who was still frowning, then looked at Hiruzaru Sarutobi and said indifferently: "Three Hokage, it sounds like you are looking for me for something, or the mission wants you to I do it?"

"That's right," Hiruzaru Sarutobi coughed a few more times, and said straight to the point, "I would like to ask you to support the team led by Shikamaru, or Naruto."

"I told you before I moved into Konoha, the third Hokage, I'm not a ninja." After hearing Naruto's name, Lu Jiu frowned, but she still refused in a very calm tone.

"I know, but the village is short of manpower now, and you are a member of the village after all, so I, an old man, can only ask you." Hiruzaru Sarutobi still looked at Lu Jiu with a smile.

Tsunade looked at Lu Jiu and Sarutobi Hiruzen who seemed to be confronting each other, suddenly patted the table and stood up, and said loudly: "Hey! I said old man, this kind of thing..."

"Okay, I agree," Lu Jiu interrupted Tsunade at this time. He watched Hiruzaru Sarutobi suddenly stretched his frown slightly, showing a smile-like expression, "Take the task Give me the scroll as a token, the task level is determined according to the regulations, and the reward is the same."

"No problem." Hiruzaru Sarutobi tremblingly took out the token prepared before and threw it to Lu Jiu under Tsunade's surprised eyes, "Let's go as soon as possible, after all, the Shikamaru team and Sand Shinobi who are in charge of supporting Everyone has been away for a while."

"I know. But... just this time, the Three Hokages." Lu Jiu put away the scroll, turned his head and walked out without hesitation. The reason why he agreed so readily was because he understood that this time it was not just the so-called support Naruto. People, but because with the fluctuation of the village's strength, the situation has changed, and finally began to worry about his temptation.

But...it doesn't matter.

Lu Jiu quickly forgot about these convoluted things——Yuan Weiyang hadn't returned from her mission, and even though it wouldn't take long for him to go, she still decided to explain to the kid at home first.

With such thoughts in mind, Li Huo, who was practicing self-abuse, soon saw his master, who rarely appeared during his cultivation, except for necessary guidance, suddenly appeared in front of him.

Li Huo was stunned for a moment, but he didn't stop his movements, he just raised his head and said half panting: "Master?"

"I'm going out of the village, it won't be long." Lu Jiu nodded, not minding Lihuo's actions, but after explaining the matter very quickly, she tilted her head and thought for a while before continuing, " Uchiha Sasuke defected, and someone from Orochimaru responded, and my mission is to support Naruto and others who are responsible for recovering him."

Li Huo's movements finally froze, but he quickly returned to his original frequency. He remained silent, but the emotions emanating from his body changed a lot.

Lu Jiu was not in a hurry, he just looked down at Lihuo who was mechanically repeating his movements, and it took him a long time to hear Lihuo's voice softly.

"...Uchiha, Sasuke, defected?"

Lihuo's voice was so soft that people couldn't hear the emotions contained in it.

Contacting the news about Uchiha Itachi’s appearance that I got from Yuan Weiyang some time ago, and a series of things that happened after that, Lihuo’s thoughts quickly sorted out the situation, sneered, and said in a piercing tone: “Sure enough , in that guy's heart, elder brother is more important than everything else."

Even though he said that he wanted to avenge the tribe and restore the glory of the Uchiha, but in fact, even if he didn't know the twists and turns behind the extermination of the clan, that guy Uchiha Sasuke did not hesitate to fight for the Uchiha Itachi A choice is made.

"No, it should be said that the most important thing in his heart and Uchiha Itachi's heart is only each other." Li Huo smiled ironically, his tone gradually cooled down along with his emotions, "You really deserve to be the son of the patriarch's family, you are so arrogant ..."

This is more like venting.

Indifferently finished the last movement of the amount he set, Lihuo stood up slowly and straightened up, while panting, he looked seriously into Lu Jiu's calm eyes: "Master...you said just now that your mission is to support Naruto and the others, that is to say, Big Brother Naruto and their safety are more important, right?"

Lu Jiu looked at Li Huo's dark eyes which were still maintained even though he was emotional, and nodded slightly.

"Then—" Li Huo bent down abruptly at Lu Jiu, "Whether Big Brother Naruto succeeds or fails, please don't interfere with Uchiha Sasuke's stay?"

Lu Jiu didn't care much about Uchiha Sasuke's going or staying, but at this moment he was rarely interested in Lihuo's decision, and slowly opened his lips and asked, "Why?"

"I want to see, as the orphan of the Uchiha clan." Li Huo took a deep breath, straightened up and looked directly into Lu Jiu's eyes, "What kind of path will Uchiha Sasuke walk out, or in other words, after he is all In the life exchanged by the lives of the clansmen, what can be done for the Uchiha clan."

"Where will the last glory of the Uchiha clan that finally falls on him be taken?"

Lihuo doesn't believe Uchiha Sasuke, especially after he willingly gave up his companions for the so-called "revenge" and took on the identity of rebellious ninja.

"I know that if you make a move, he can only return to Konoha, but this is actually meaningless. What he knows and what he doesn't understand, where his determination and ability will take him, is up to him and Uchi Bo Weasel must, must bear." Li Huo's eyes finally revealed a bit of malicious emotion, but he still looked straight into Lu Jiu's eyes without avoiding, "Please, Master."

"I understand." Lu Jiu stretched out his hand and touched Li Huo's long black hair, which was very soft and soft, unlike the Uchiha clan who often blow up, and said calmly, "It's almost time, practice hard."

"Yes!" The malicious emotion in Li Huo's eyes slowly calmed down, and seeing Lu Jiu's back turning and leaving, he slowly closed his eyes and revealed a wry smile.

After Lu Jiu left Lihuo's sight range, her slender figure suddenly sped up, like a bird flying freely in the forest, she got out of Konoha's range without touching the ground, and followed the guidance of creatures along the way towards Naruto Wait for the direction that the person is traveling to rush to.only……

Not far from the range of Konoha, I saw a young man with thick eyebrows who was obviously seriously injured, wearing a strange green tights, and a watermelon head, blocking Lu Jiu with eyes full of vigilance.

"Hey! Who are you?!"
