Chapter 424 Shocking News, Tsunade’S Determination!
Konoha, Hokage office.
Tsunade was lying on his desk with a tired look on his face, taking a nap with his eyes closed;
The desktop was piled with various files higher than the head, making it look extremely messy.
She worked overtime for the past two days and finally cleaned up the mess left by the roots;
As for the masked man who made a big fuss in Konoha, he still doesn't have the time and energy to discuss tactics against the enemy.
"Bang bang bang!"
At this moment, a rapid and powerful knock on the door suddenly sounded;
Tsunade, who finally had some free time to rest, frowned and reluctantly opened his tired eyes:
"What happened again? I've been working overtime for forty-eight hours straight! Now you come to me again. Are you really not worried about your beloved Hokage-sama's sudden death?"
She complained in a low voice, but she also knew the seriousness of the matter. She immediately sat upright and shouted majestically:
"Enter!"
"Creak!" With a sound, the office door was quickly pushed open. Shizune, with a pale face, anxiously walked to Tsunade and said in panic:
"Tsuna... Tsunade-sama, the... daimyo is dead..."
Shizune's voice was trembling uncontrollably because the news he received was so shocking.
"Oh, if you die, just die. Which daimyo from a small country in the ninja world died?"
Tsunade held his chin with his hands and looked unconcerned with Kaidō who was yawning.
There are so many small countries in the ninja world, and the number of people with big names is too many to count.
"I said Shizune, don't disturb my sleep with this little thing, I haven't rested for a long time..."
She yawned again, rolled her eyelids, and looked helplessly at the still unstable and mature follower in front of her.
"Tsunade-sama!"
Seeing Tsunade's unruly look, Shizune suddenly became furious and shouted, his tone extremely serious:
"Tsunade-sama! It's the Daimyo of the Fire Country! The Daimyo of the Fire Country is dead!!"
"Not long ago, I was killed by a masked man! Daming Mansion was also destroyed!!"
"Buzz!"
Suddenly hearing such earth-shattering bad news, Tsunade felt confused and there was a buzzing in his head.
Then he quickly reacted, swept away the fatigue and sleepiness just now, frowned, stared at Shizune with extremely serious eyes, and asked sternly:
"Shizune! This is no child's play! Are you sure the information is true?"
Tsunade exuded the powerful power of a Kage-level expert, and the atmosphere in the office suddenly became oppressive, and you could hear a pin drop!
Shizune stood there, with a drop of cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. He felt that he was now facing an extremely dangerous and powerful beast!
This unparalleled power made her breathless, but Kaidō still remained calm:
"Tsunade-sama! The information was just transmitted by Shikamaru through the Ninja Eagle. It has been compared several times and is absolutely correct!"
"The daimyo and ministers of the Fire Country, as well as thousands of warriors from the daimyo mansion, were all killed by the masked man!"
She looked at Tsunade, who was already silent, and her voice suddenly became sad and choked:
"Konoha...Elite Jōnin, Sarutobi...Asuma, also died in...Daimingfu..."
After Shizune finished telling all the information sent back by Shikamaru, the corners of his eyes were wet and he fell into silent grief.
Asuma is her classmate and Konoha companion;
Now that I heard the news that the other party died suddenly in battle, it was really hard to suppress the sadness in my heart.
Thinking of her friend Hong, she really didn't know how to tell her friend this bad news that was destined to be unacceptable.
"Clang!"
After hearing such horrifying news, Tsunade felt dizzy and seemed to have lost all strength;
The body leaned back and slumped on the back of the chair; the strong momentum he had before disappeared in an instant.
A pair of dazed and slightly helpless eyes looked at the four Hokage portraits hanging on the opposite wall.
"It's over...what should I do...what should Konoha do..."
Such a sudden change made Tsunade feel panicked, confused, and pale; he didn't know how to deal with it.
Seeming helpless and powerless, I can only hope to get answers and inspiration from the four previous Hokages.
The paralysis of the power center of the Country of Fire will inevitably lead to violent turmoil in the country and a series of struggles for power!
Konoha's financial and material support will inevitably be interrupted.
In addition, other countries add insult to injury or directly invade;
Tsunade knows very well that Konoha is at the center of the storm at this moment, and if anything goes wrong, it will fall into a place of eternal disaster!
She had already thought of excuses for the enemy to attack the ninja village.
Bad protection!
My own Ninja Village is unable to protect the safety of the daimyo of my own country, which will inevitably lead to the censure of the daimyo of other countries!
If other daimyo and nobles, as well as the remaining nobles of the Fire Country unite;
They all blame Konoha, and even want to cancel Konoha Village and set up another ninja village; there is no possibility for her to stop it!
If things develop according to this worst-case scenario;
So Konoha Village, which was founded by her grandfather and has been passed down for 63 years, is very likely to be buried in the hands of her granddaughter!
And she will be the last generation of Hokage in Konoha Village and the biggest sinner!
"No! Absolutely not!"
Tsunade frowned, and a hint of evil flashed across his face:
"Konoha Village is a treasure passed down by my grandfather. It is the sacrifices of many Konoha Shinobi who have passed down Konoha to this day. It must not disappear or be destroyed!"
"Uh-huh!"
She stood up suddenly, her previous decadence and confusion swept away, and her whole body was filled with a cold aura.
"Tsunade-sama, you finally cheered up!"
Shizune on the side was relieved, all the worries on his face faded, and he cried with joy.
This was the first time she had seen Tsunade look so powerless before;
I want to offer comfort and enlightenment, but I can't think of any way to solve this dangerous situation;
I can only worry on the sidelines, secretly hating myself for being useless and unable to do anything to help!
'No matter what, I will protect Konoha! Even if all means are used! ’
Tsunade focused his gaze on the four Hokage portraits above, swearing secretly in his heart, with a trace of cruelty flashing in his eyes.
"Shizune!"
She waved her sleeves vigorously, appearing extremely resolute, and said in a decisive voice:
"Arrange immediately, activate all the village's intelligence network, and spread all the information about the masked man!"
"The speed must be fast! We must let the entire ninja world know about the existence of the masked man before things escalate in the capital of the Country of Fire!"
Tsunade pondered for a while and then added:
"Focus on the promotion of the masked man's power of immortality! Submit detailed information on the masked man to the daimyo and nobles of all countries in the ninja world!"
"Be sure to focus on describing this masked man, who has the power to easily restore youth and endless lifespan to ordinary people!"
She was planning to detonate the turmoil in the ninja world in advance due to the killing of the Fire Nation Daimyo!
And it made the turmoil become more intense, turning most of the eyes of the ninja world from the Land of Fire to the masked man!
This can buy Tsunade a lot of time for his next actions and relieve a lot of pressure!
She was convinced that those with power and those who wanted to live longer had only to be aware of the Masked Man's existence;
Whether they are ninjas, daimyo, or nobles, they will all fall into a completely crazy chase!
These people are indeed such piss-takers!
Because of longevity! It’s so fascinating and crazy!
Shizune wrote down Tsunade's order to bring trouble to the east very seriously, and then asked:
"Tsunade-sama, what should we do with the Fire Nation capital? If it takes too long, it will inevitably fall into chaos."
"Don't worry, I've already thought about it! I will personally lead the team of Anbu and elite ninjas to the capital of the Land of Fire immediately!"
Tsunade looked through the window in the direction of the capital, his eyes slightly narrowed with a cold light shining in them.
"Tsunade-sama, it is inconsistent with the rules to lead so many ninjas into the capital rashly, and I am afraid it will attract criticism."
Shizune said worriedly.
In the past, Hokage could only enter the capital with a limited number of subordinates with the permission of the daimyo.
Although the daimyo and core ministers are now dead, there must still be nobles in the city;
If you just bring a large number of ninjas and enter without any permission, you will definitely be criticized by someone who is interested!
Tsunade waved his hand and said with a cold voice Kaidō:
"The most important thing right now is to stabilize the capital and temporarily take over the administrative affairs of the Country of Fire. If anyone dares to stop him, kill him!"
The word "kill" was filled with a biting chill, and the temperature in the office suddenly dropped suddenly, which also reflected Tsunade's unwavering determination!
To protect Konoha, she can do anything! Even if he imitates the masked man and kills nobles that he has never thought of killing before!
"Tsunade-sama...this...this will cause completely unpredictable consequences..."
Shizune was frightened by Tsunade's decision; her voice was trembling, and she looked extremely frightened.
Whether it is the Land of Fire or other countries, the most taboo thing is for the shadow of the Ninja Village to get involved in the country's highest power;
Now Tsunade, in order to quickly stabilize the Fire Nation, dares to risk the disapproval of the world and take over the power of the Fire Nation;
This process will definitely be blocked by the remaining nobles, and it will inevitably cause a bloody storm!
The daimyo and nobles of other countries will definitely not sit idly by and watch!
"Shizune!"
Tsunade shouted, calming down the panicked Shizune:
"So you must act quickly! Use the masked man to divert the attention of other countries, and put the Fire Country in order before they react!"
"This is all for Konoha! It is also the best way to prevent the Fire Nation from falling into chaos!"
She looked very seriously at the girl in front of her who had been with her for decades.
If Shizune still can't understand, he can only talk about the other person's appreciation, and that's it.
Shizune trembled all over, reacted immediately, and quickly Kaidō:
"Tsunade-sama! No matter what decision you make, I will support you without hesitation!"
"Very good! Hurry up and carry out the order!"
Tsunade nodded with satisfaction, and then quickly walked out of Hokage's office together with Shizune.
