I didn't open it in another world, I'm sure

These Tsunade can understand, and of course Nangong Xiao can understand, and he, who is used to doing as the Romans do, when Tsunade casts his eyes to ask, he returned a look of "following Tsunade's wishes", which made Tsunade The palm of his hand was so happy that he couldn't help but smile on his face on the spot.

Tsunade's handling is also very straightforward, just let the Anbu team follow secretly.

Tsunade hadn't forgotten that Nangong Xiao and his group couldn't be too high-profile for the time being.

After all, there is a caravan followed by Anbu openly, and a caravan accompanied by only a Bankonoha ninja. The perception outside is completely different.

Konoha is the core stage of the story in the original work. If another group of outsiders also know the plot of the original work, they will most likely focus on Konoha. In this case, when Nangong Xiao and his party enter Konoha, they must not Too loud.

This is also the fundamental reason why Nangong Xiao, Lao Zheng and others disguised themselves as caravans from the very beginning, and planned to continue to disguise themselves.

The next morning, after Kakashi took the members of the seventh class and said goodbye to the bridge builder Datsuna, he came to join Nangong Akatsuki's caravan and set foot on the official road back to Konoha.

Along the way, Uchiha Sasuke of course cast his eyes on Akatsuki Nangong from time to time, and even had the urge to go directly to study several times, but Kakashi Akari secretly reminded or stopped them.

As for Uchiha Sasuke's gaze, Nangong Xiao certainly noticed it, but ignored it because he was not in a hurry.

That's it, except for the addition of Kakashi's seventh squad, the caravan has not changed much. Everyone just does what they should do in the past, and continues to move slowly.

And because Kakashi was watching, the official contact between Class [-] and Nangong Xiao and others was basically zero, which made the following itinerary extremely dull, even boring.But this is also the normal state of ancient merchants.

Time passed, and after walking along the official road for several days, the caravan finally arrived at Muye Yin Village.

It is said to be a 'village' here, but it is actually a city that covers a large area and is built on the hillside, or a 'city', because Konoha has a city wall.

According to the data fed back by the satellite, the number of humanoid life forms in Konoha is close to 20.

In other words, the resident population of Konoha is at least one hundred thousand, and the rest is floating population.

This number did not surprise Nangong Xiao, because during the Fourth Ninja World War in the original book, there were more than [-] ninja coalition forces from the five major countries in the ninja world and the country of iron. As one of the five major countries, Konoha also sent It is reasonable to have more than [-] ninjas. Based on this ninja base, Konoha's resident population does not have a hundred thousand or so, and it is impossible to produce this number of ninjas.

Closer to home, the procedures for entering Konoha in the name of a merchant were very quick and smooth. After all, Hiruza Sarutobi had already greeted him personally, so no one would conduct too many routine inquiries on Nangong Xiao and his party.

As for Tsunade and Shizune's move to enter Konoha openly, it was Nangong Xiao's request.

Although Nangong Xiao still doesn't know the details of the other group of outsiders, and doesn't know if the other party knows anything about "Hokage".If the other party doesn't agree, then Tsunade's high-profile and low-key are meaningless.The opposite is different, Tsunade will become the bait for 'fishing'.

This can be regarded as an idle move.

After all, the story of Tsunade and Shizune returning to Konoha is after the Chunin Exam and Hiruzaru Sarutobi’s death in battle. There are still two or three months from now. At this time, Tsunade is a well-known figure in the ninja world. The matter of returning to Konoha openly and aboveboard should have a high degree of spread among Ninja Village, and it has become an unusual point in the plot, and it will definitely become one of the concerns of "insiders". In the end, can "insiders" So jumping out depends on luck.

After entering the bustling Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen also made full arrangements for the caravan's accommodation, and someone specially assigned to lead the way for Nangong Xiao and his party.

So it didn't take long for Nangong Xiao and his party to be placed in a compound courtyard mansion covering an area of ​​over [-] square meters at the edge of Konoha's busy city.

It is said that this was originally the residence of a wealthy businessman from the Land of Fire. A year ago, after the business went bankrupt, the wealthy businessman mortgaged his assets to Konoha and became Konoha's property. The price is expensive because of the good location and luxurious decoration. , leading to vacancy so far.

Nangong Xiao has no needs for a place to stay, but if conditions permit, he will choose the best one, and this Japanese-style mansion is quite in line with Nangong Xiao's taste, so after browsing the house for a while, Nangong Xiao So he asked Tsunade, who was going to see Hiruzaru Sarutobi, to talk about this mansion by the way, and he would pay gold equivalent to the market price to buy it.

Nangong Xiao's sudden request made Tsunade ecstatic.

Because this is also an attitude!A fairly good attitude towards Konoha!

"Nangong! Don't worry, leave it to me, and promise to win this place at a low price!"

Under the eaves of the big mansion, Tsunade happily patted his chest to reassure, which also made Nangong Xiao look sideways.

There's no way, it's a bit big somewhere, and it will always be eye-catching when it shakes.

Not to mention, among the women Nangong Xiao has met so far, only Ju Chuan Shizuka, who has met once, has the 'capital' to fight Tsunade.

Aside from digressions, Nangong Akatsuki of course understood the reason why Tsunade was happy, so he said, "What about the price? Just watch it. Help me tell Sarutobi Hiruzen a word."

"Eh? What are you talking about?"

"Respect is mutual. The only thing I am interested in in the ninja world is 'knowledge'. If you can cooperate, you can cooperate. No, on the premise of mutual respect, I will change to another partner. Otherwise, I will naturally adopt a reciprocal attitude. .Now, whether it is an enemy or a friend, it is all on your side."

What Nangong Xiao said was so straightforward, Tsunade was taken aback for a moment, but he felt that this was better. After all, Nangong Xiao clarified the bottom line, and Konoha was better able to grasp the measure.

"Nangong, I understand. Also, thank you."

What Tsunade said was a formal bow to Nangong Xiao, which was to thank Nangong Xiao for the cooperation opportunity on behalf of Konoha.

Nangong Xiao nodded in satisfaction and said, "Go."

"it is good."

After Tsunade responded with a smile, he turned and left.

But at this time, Ling Qi's voice came from Nangong Xiao's mind.

[Lingqi: Ah Xiao, I secretly scanned the entire Konoha, and I didn't feel any abnormalities. It seems that the other party hasn't come to Konoha yet. 】

[Nangong Xiao: Can you say that, because it has been further confirmed that the other party and the main god space are similar existences? 】

[Lingqi: Yes, although the other party is hiding well, but I and the system have also captured a trace of overflowing special energy fluctuations, and after inverting the past, the conclusion drawn is this.By the way, according to the sporadic information fragments overflowed by the other party, the other party seems to be called the main god of the reincarnation tower, and the agent under his command seems to be called the agent. If there is no accident, the origin of this guy is a relatively standard infinite flow derivative. 】

[Nangong Xiao: Reincarnation Tower?agent?Interesting, how about its strength? 】

[Lingqi: Although there is not much information, but we can also draw a conclusion that the opponent is only a little weaker than this main god space.The gap between the Reincarnation Tower and the main god's space is not insurmountable. When the two sides really fight to the death, the main god's space can only be said to have a greater advantage and a higher chance of winning, but there is no inference of victory.Of course, they are not as good as us, regardless of the gains and losses, especially since my erosion of the Lord God's space has reached an extremely high level. sexual victory. 】

[Nangong Xiao: If you really do that, you will lose money, right? 】

[Lingqi: Yes, and it's a big loss, so we have to lurk for a while and play tricks. 】

[Nangong Xiao: That's how it should be—and judging from the current situation, that is to say, the ninja world is likely to become a three-party battlefield for qualified people, reincarnated people, and agents...Xiao Qi, can this time Is the war a collective task? 】

[Zero Qi: Yes, and that’s what I originally planned. After all, the degree of danger of this kind of battlefield is relatively high in the system. According to the various relevant rules of the system, if you complete tasks of this level, A Xiao, your gains will be huge. Very big. 】

【Nangong Xiao: If that's the case, let's do it.Well, tell Asuna, let the qualified ones prepare for the battle. 】

【Zero Qi: Understand~】

Chapter 848 Master and Disciple

Hokage Building, a quiet room next to the Hokage Office.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi and Tsunade sat opposite each other at the square table.

After spending more than half an hour, after listening to Tsunade's account of Nangong Akatsuki and some details about the caravan's march a few days ago, Sarutobi Hiruzaru's expression also became extremely solemn.

Lighting the pipe, hesitating for a while, and calming down his thoughts a little, Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

"Tsunade, you have done a good job. In the face of that kind of existence, Konoha and we can only make friends. Being able to make friends with him is also a blessing for us, especially when the other party takes the initiative to clarify the bottom line. We have to understand Anyway, um, it's really, really good."

"It's okay." After Tsunade nodded, he changed the topic, "However, old man, don't push the 'blessing' in your mouth."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi didn't react for a moment.

"Shimura Danzo, that guy hates Shimura Danzo."

"Why? Danzo offended him?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi was even more puzzled.

"It's not, but Shimura Danzo's temperament and behavior style are not likable, let alone him, I hate it very much. And the reason why I mention this is because I am afraid that Shimura Danzo will not know what is good or bad, and will do something for Konoha for no reason. Disaster."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi shook his head and said, "Although Danzo acts extreme, he is not stupid. He will not do things that seek his own death."

"That's because he knew he was going to kill himself, so he wouldn't mess around. What if he didn't know?"

"It's also..." Hiruzaru Sarutobi was stunned, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes, "...I see, I will handle it well."

"It's best if you know—forget it, seeing you look so old, it's hard to shake the scene..." As Tsunade said, he took out a scroll from his coat pocket and pushed it to Hiruzaru Sarutobi. before.

"This is?"

"My body has now returned to its peak in my 20s. This is not relying on the false maintenance of the Yin seal, but the real restoration of youth. Well, my life span is now hundreds of years longer, and this is only a conservative estimate. As time goes by, my youth and lifespan will be longer, and my strength will be stronger."

"?!!!"

"The value of this scroll is higher than that of the entire Muye Village. Old man, remember, don't let the fate become a nightmare."

"Where is this thing coming from?" Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression became even more serious.

"That's right. And according to my observation, this kind of thing is probably equivalent to the three-body technique in our hands to that person, and it's not worth mentioning at all."

"Kakashi doesn't know about this, right?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi didn't doubt it. After all, the scroll was right in front of him. He asked himself that he had enough ability to check it, and he was more worried that too many people would know about it.

Because from a certain point of view, this thing is the root of the disaster.

It doesn't need much, as long as this thing can achieve one-tenth of the effect Tsunade said, it will be enough to trigger a new round of ninja world wars.

Of course Tsunade understood Sarutobi's worries, so he said, "Don't worry, besides him and his family, only me, Shizune and the old man know about it."

"Mute..."

"Jing Yin works as a servant for him, and has already practiced this thing, well, she knows the seriousness."

"Hoo..." Hiruzaru Sarutobi let out a long breath, picked up the scroll, and took a look at it.

Tsunade didn't speak anymore, just waited so quietly.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked at it carefully for a while, his expression changed from solemn to excited, and then from excited to unbelievable, and finally he had to close the scroll and close his eyes to calm his emotions.

He was afraid that if he continued to be so excited, he would die suddenly.

He is 69 years old this year, and he has already lived a long life among ninjas. After decades of ninja career, he has suffered countless illnesses, and Konoha is incomplete. People in their late twilight years and [-]s may really fall into the ground directly after being too stimulated.

Seeing Hiruzaru Sarutobi like this, Tsunade couldn't help sighing.

"Old man, you are really old..."

"Yes..." Hiruzaru Sarutobi responded with emotion, and then pushed the scroll back.

"Old man?"

"After you have ascended to the position of Hokage, you can take it out, which is of great significance for you to consolidate your position."

"..."

"I'm old, not only the person is old, but the heart is also old. I don't need these anymore. I just want to rest for a few years, and then I will go to the teacher and the first generation to repent."

Tsunade's expression was a bit complicated, and after a long silence, he said, "...Old man, you probably won't have a chance to rest."

"What do you mean?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi was taken aback for a moment, thinking of something, "The only ones who are most suitable to be shadows at the moment are you and Jiraiya, and Jiraiya really has a heart, so he stayed back then, so...you , you will not forget the long-cherished wish of the first generation and the teacher...you can't..."

"Stop, old man, I haven't forgotten."

"Then, you are..."

"It's not like I refused, but I didn't take over the position of Hokage right now. The reason why I said that is because Konoha needs more combat power now, even a little more is good."

"?!" Hiruzaru Sarutobi shrank his pupils, "Is the other group of outsiders so dangerous?"

Tsunade hasn't had time to mention the plot of the original novel, so Hiruzaru Sarutobi only knows about the outsiders, and doesn't know that the ninja world itself is also in crisis.

Tsunade said, "It's not just the issue of outsiders, there are other things... It's a bit complicated to say, and I don't know how to talk about it. The world will be in danger of extinction."

"Why don't you know how to talk about it? Can't you say it?"

Tsunade smiled helplessly, "It's not that I can't say it, but I really don't know how to say it... Well, you can just think that I have seen the future, and there will be a ninja war in the future."

"Future...Ninja World War...Are you kidding me?"

"I was serious."

"That's really..." Hiruzaru Sarutobi didn't know what expression to use.

"Anyway, old man, you should switch to cultivation first and recover your body. Everything will become clear after the Chunin exam."

"Could it be... that there will be something wrong in the Chunin exam?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi was very keen.

"Yes, but the one who needs Konoha to act according to the original plan, at least on the surface, according to the original plan. In the dark, Konoha must be fully prepared for war. Of course, in order to avoid any internal situation in Konoha during this period, you old man You must have the power to shake the scene."

"I see...I see."

"It's good to understand... By the way, I will go to Tian Zhiguo in a few days. When I'm not there, old man, you have to take care of those old things. Well, finally find a reason to let them go to the old age as soon as possible, otherwise ..."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi smiled helplessly, "Tsunade..."

"Needless to say, I don't like those old things very much. I didn't go directly to beat them up because I was looking at your face, old man."

"I will take care of their affairs...By the way, what are you doing in Tianzhi Country?"

"Look for Orochimaru."

"Oshemaru was originally hidden in Tianzhi Country..."

"Yes, and although the dead snake is dangerous, it is also a fighting force."

"It seems... I still underestimated the next crisis... Tsunade, are you really confident that you can suppress Orochimaru?"

"I'm strong enough now, and I also have what Orochimaru wants most. Even if it's just an exchange of benefits, Orochimaru will be happy." As he said, Tsunade released his breath.

Although it was only for a moment, Hiruzaru Sarutobi couldn't help but widen his eyes, "Tsunade...you...have already reached the level of the first generation?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen had seen Senju Hashirama before. Although he was still young at that time, the strength of Senju Hashirama has always been engraved in his soul.
