“What…
is it?” Shin turned his head blankly, though in his heart, he already had the answer.
“Don’t go, let me go!” Lady Tsunade snatched the quilt from Shin’s hands, threw it into the room, and closed the door when she came out, her face flushed the entire time.
“It’s nothing, don’t go in.”
After saying this to Shin, Lady Tsunade walked quickly into the bathroom to freshen up.
By the time she finished, Shin had already set the meal on the dining table.
Naturally, he also had breakfast with Lady Tsunade.
A man and a woman who had slept under the same roof for a night, now eating breakfast together.
This was practically like living together.
After they finished breakfast together, Shin consciously cleaned up the plates and the table.
“Your clothes are no longer wearable.
I bought you some new ones last night.
Go put them on.” Lady Tsunade pointed to the clothes on the coffee table.
“Thank you, Lady Tsunade.” Shin nodded, took the clothes, and walked into the bathroom.
He took off his blood-stained clothes and changed into the new ones, which were not much different from his previous kimono.
When Shin went out wearing those blood-stained clothes earlier this morning, he had attracted quite a few stares.
Afterward, the two headed to the Hokage Building together.
It was already 7:30, and in another half hour, it would be Lady Tsunade’s working time.
“Today, we need to go to the mission assignment office first to distribute missions to the ninjas.” Shin held a notebook, standing behind Lady Tsunade, looking every bit like a proper secretary.
“Ah…
and that guy Naruto is here today.
Just thinking about assigning him a mission gives me a headache.” Lady Tsunade sighed and nodded.
“It’s about time.
We should head over,” Shin said after checking the time.
“Mm.” Lady Tsunade nodded, then stood up.
The two went to the mission assignment room together, and Naruto arrived shortly after.
“Huh?
A gold bullion transport escort mission!?” When Lady Tsunade informed Naruto of the mission, he was predictably dissatisfied.
“Hm?
What, are you not satisfied, kid?” Lady Tsunade said, resting her head on her hand and glancing at Naruto.
“This is basically just a C-rank mission!
I can’t say I’m a fan of this kind of mission!” Naruto said to Lady Tsunade.
Throughout all of Konoha, besides Naruto, the only other person who would dare talk to the Hokage like that was Konohamaru.
Kakashi and Sakura both wore expressions of expectation.
Last night, Shin’s Shadow Clone had learned many ninjutsu.
Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu, Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet, and Earth Style: Earth Wall.
It was a pity he didn’t get to see Naruto’s Rasengan or Kakashi’s Chidori.
Perhaps it was because Kakashi had once taught Sasuke that Chidori was not meant to be used against comrades, and Jiraiya had said the same thing to Naruto.
By revealing the ending of Make-Out Paradise, Naruto finally succeeded in getting the bells.
With that, the three of them formed Team Kakashi, no longer acting like the master and students they were before, and set off to execute missions together.
“Ha…
Naruto, you haven’t grown up mentally at all,” Iruka, who was standing nearby, said with a headache.
Naturally, Lady Tsunade wasn’t the only one assigning missions, otherwise, she would be worked to death every day.
“Naruto, considering this is your first mission since you returned, I arranged a simple one for you…” Before Lady Tsunade could finish her sentence, Naruto interrupted.
“I don’t need you to meddle in my business!” Naruto said defiantly to Lady Tsunade.
Seeing this, Sakura grabbed Naruto by the neck to stop him from running his mouth.
“I’m sorry, Master, I will teach him a lesson later.”
“The details of the mission are written here.” Lady Tsunade didn’t allow Naruto to refuse and pushed the mission details forward.
“Understood.” Kakashi stepped forward to take the mission details.
“Geez, Grandpa Third was much more reasonable than you,” Naruto muttered after being stopped by Sakura.
“Huh?
What did you just say!” Lady Tsunade shouted at Naruto with a dark expression upon hearing him.
“That’s enough!” Sakura grabbed Naruto by the neck, nearly choking the life out of him.
“It’s bad, Fifth Hokage!” Just then, the door to the room was thrown open, and a woman with short hair rushed in.
She was from the Code-Breaking Team, responsible for deciphering coded letters.
Before Kakashi could even take the mission details, the woman rushed in front of Lady Tsunade.
“What’s the matter?
Why are you in such a panic?” Lady Tsunade asked upon seeing her.
“We just received an emergency communication from Sunagakure.
This is the deciphered content.” She handed the notebook in her hand to Lady Tsunade.
Lady Tsunade’s expression changed drastically after reading it.
Shin also took a look.
It was a distress letter from Sunagakure.
The Akatsuki Organization had raided Sunagakure last night and kidnapped Gaara.
“What…” Iruka was also shocked after reading it.
“What’s wrong?” Hearing that it was a letter from Sunagakure and seeing how nervous they were, Naruto asked.
“The Kazekage of Sunagakure has been kidnapped by an organization called Akatsuki.” Lady Tsunade did not hide it from them.
They were predictably shocked upon hearing this.
Shin, however, was a bit happy.
Just by taking a glance at the deciphered code, he had learned the skill to decode messages.
Plus, by engaging with the Akatsuki Organization this time, he would be able to learn quite a few more ninjutsu!
“We have more intelligence regarding the Akatsuki Organization, so Sunagakure has sent us a request for reinforcements,” Lady Tsunade said, looking at Naruto and the others.
Shin immediately crossed out Team Kakashi’s gold bullion escort mission from the notebook.
“This is an emergency.
There’s no time to slowly select personnel.
Besides, some of you have already engaged the Akatsuki directly.
I am now reassigning Team Kakashi: proceed immediately to Sunagakure, gather intelligence, relay it back to Konoha, and then follow Sunagakure’s command to provide support,” Lady Tsunade said, looking at the three members of Team Kakashi.
“Yes!” This time, Naruto agreed decisively.
The three left immediately.
Because the destination was far, they needed to pack their gear right away.
Lady Tsunade naturally had no mood to continue assigning missions there.
She took Shin and headed to the village gate to wait for Naruto and the others.
They arrived very quickly.
“We’re leaving now, Master,” Sakura said to Lady Tsunade before leaving.
Lady Tsunade nodded.
“Yo, Naruto, off on a mission?” Just then, Jiraiya jumped down from the air.
“Yeah,” Naruto nodded and smiled.
“Be careful,” Jiraiya instructed Naruto, then walked over to Lady Tsunade.
“I just received news that the Kazekage of Sunagakure has been…”
“I already know about that.
I’m sending them to provide support,” Lady Tsunade interrupted Jiraiya.
Jiraiya was stunned.
He looked at Naruto, then at Lady Tsunade, and then lowered his voice even further.
“You know about the connection between Naruto and the Akatsuki.
Letting them go…”
Two and a half years ago, Uchiha Itachi and Kisame Hoshigaki of the Akatsuki Organization had attacked Naruto.
If Jiraiya hadn’t been there, they would have succeeded.
