Chapter 22: Chapter 22
"The Kazekage has been taken away, Hokage-sama, do you want me to join the rescue team?".
After reading the scroll, Shingen put it back on the table, raised his eyebrows slightly, and his poker face remained unchanged.
"That's right! I wanted you to go with Team Kakashi, but you're out, it's impossible now".
"I've already told you how dangerous Akatsuki is, and their kidnapping of Kazekage in front of the entire village proves how strong they are!".
"I have faith in Naruto, Kakashi, and Sakura, they should be able to rescue the Kazekage, but you have seen it yourself, and in extreme cases Naruto can become berserk".
"You can stop the Nine-Tails from going berserk without much effort, I need you to act with him".
Tsunade said a lot in one breath, holding her chin with both hands, with a solemn expression on her face, she hoped that Shingen would understand the seriousness of the situation.
"It will take about three days to reach Sunagakure, do you want me to leave now?".
Shingen asked calmly, he is a ninja of this village, and he will complete the task given to him, unless it violates his bottom line.
"No, you must be very tired after the date, go back and rest, I plan to send another team to accompany you, I will let you know when they return".
A gloomy look flashed in Tsunade's eyes, staring at Ino who was standing behind Shingen, which made Ino feel a little guilty.
"I see, then I'll take my leave, Hokage-sama".
Since Tsunade didn't want him to leave now, Shingen had no problem, and he calmly retreated.
"Wait for me, Shingen-kun!".
Ino shouted loudly, followed in the footsteps of Shingen, and left the office together.
"Alas~It's good to be young~".
Tsunade sighed and looked at the departing couple with a look of envy and nostalgia on her face.
Once she also had a person, and she would act like a little girl in front of him.
"Thank you for your company, Shingen, I really had a great time today!".
Walking out of the Hokage Building, Shingen, who was going to go back, was stopped by Ino, who looked at him with grateful eyes.
"It doesn't matter. I'm having a great time ...".
Shingen was silent for a while, looking intently at the blonde girl in front of him, who looked even more beautiful in the moonlight, and then shook his head and spoke, his expression still calm.
But his tone softened a lot, because Shingen really enjoyed the day, and his mood seemed to be much lighter now.
Training, fighting, and living alone, Shingen was very tired from the same schedule, so this little outing with Ino was a good respite.
Hearing his words, an expression of surprise appeared on Ino's face, she clenched her hands, looked at Shingen and said, "Really? Then I look forward to the day when Shingen-kun teaches me to cook.
"I'm going back, Shingen good night!".
Hearing her words, Shingen remained silent and did not refuse, because he had promised Ino before, so naturally he would not break his promise.
Looking at the silent Shingen, Ino knew that it was time to step back, waved her hand, and ran in the opposite direction.
"Take care!".
Looking at the elegant back of the blonde girl, Shingen's lips moved slightly, and a sentence squeezed out of his mouth.
"Take care, Shingen-kun!!".
Ino didn't look back, but waved her hand high, with a smile on her face, and soon disappeared from Shingen's sight.
Sigh....
Seeing that the girl disappeared completely, Shingen sighed, turned into an afterimage, and returned home.
~Two days later~
"Shingen, you join Team 3 temporarily, they don't seem to be in tune, but they are actually very reliable and won't hold you back".
"I'll leave Naruto in your care, but you also have to be careful with yourself and come back safely".
At the entrance to Konoha stood five figures, two women and three men.
Tsunade didn't want anything to happen to Shingen, Shingen was very strong, but the Akatsuki was also extremely mysterious.
All the members of the organization are S-class Nukenin, and their leader must be very terrifying, he can control so many powerful ninjas.
Perhaps the leader of Akatsuki was even more powerful than Shingen, so she didn't want Shingen to be overconfident in his own strength and advised him to be cautious.
"Hmm."
Shingen nodded and followed her advice, still with the usual expression on his face.
"Shingen-kun, do you want to join our squad?".
Suddenly, TenTen walked up to him and asked, her voice was crisp, but her eyes stayed on the sword on Shingen's back.
"You must be Shingen, I'm Rock Lee, it's nice to meet you!".
Before Shingen could answer Tenten's words, a shout came into his ears, and a figure of his age appeared beside him.
He has a head like a watermelon, bushy eyebrows, and wears a strange green bodysuit.
"Lee don't scare Shingen-kun! haha... He's a little special, don't mind him".
"He is Neji Hyuga, who is a Jonin like you, and is the main force of our team outside of Guy Sensei".
TenTen was a little angry that she was interrupted by Lee, so she hurriedly drove Lee away, and then introduced the other members of the team to Shingen.
"Hmm."
Neji was wearing a white kimono with a headband on his forehead, but he just looked at Shingen and nodded.
