Bad! Something Happened!

Chapter 46: Trouble! Something Happened! [Seeking Reads]

Land of Grass.

Konoha Camp Command Post.

Tsunade sat in the center, with Jiraiya and Orochimaru to her left and right. The three of them looked gravely at the other Jonin in the tent.

Aside from the Jonin on the front lines carrying out missions, almost everyone who could come had arrived, over twenty Jonin in total, including the newly promoted genius Jonin, Uchiha Yoru.

Uchiha Yoru's arrival naturally drew many glances. After all, a thirteen-year-old Jonin was unheard of, not just in Konoha, but in the entire Shinobi World.

"Everyone!"

After all the Jonin in the camp had been summoned, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru, with solemn expressions, pointed to the map and explained the mission details.

"We've received intelligence from the village that a unit of Iwagakure elites has disguised themselves as our Konoha ninja and plans to attack Kusagakure, using it as an opportunity to frame us and incite war between Kusagakure and Konoha."

"For this mission, I, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru will go in secret... while the camp will rely on you all..."

As she spoke, Tsunade surveyed everyone, her expression grave.

"This time, we have already contacted Kusagakure in advance. We just need to meet secretly to exchange information. Your mission is to maintain the current state of the main camp."

At this point, Tsunade, uncharacteristically, showed a hint of ease, her gaze falling on Uchiha Yoru. In front of everyone, she teased, "Externally, Jonin Uchiha Yoru will use the Transformation Jutsu to disguise himself as me. Jiraiya and Orochimaru are easy enough to handle."

Tsunade paused, subtly glancing at everyone, then continued, "If necessary, Jonin Uchiha Yoru can summon Katsuyu to treat the wounded, thereby ensuring the disguise."

Boom!

The mission itself wasn't the issue, but when the Jonin heard that Uchiha Yoru could summon Tsunade's summoning beast, Katsuyu, their expressions changed.

"Yoru-kun!"

Uchiha Fugaku, who had always been taciturn among the Jonin, widened his eyes upon hearing this. Looking at Uchiha Yoru's slender figure, he couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

For the clan! Yoru-kun carries too much!

The other Jonin also showed shock. Good heavens!

Could the rumors be true?

They usually treated them as jokes, but now he was being taught the summoning jutsu, and judging by the tone, not even as a disciple!

Damn it!

They're serious!

Uchiha Yoru, in front of all the Jonin, nodded solemnly, "Captain Tsunade, rest assured, Uchiha Yoru guarantees the completion of the mission!"

Jiraiya, standing nearby, stared with wide eyes, his gaze flicking back and forth between Tsunade and Uchiha Yoru.

What's going on? What happened during this time?

This kid calls her Captain, not Teacher?

Since when can the Summoning Jutsu be so casually taught to outsiders?

These things are treasures passed down through the clan!

They've always been passed down to one's children or direct disciples.

Tsunade, seeing everyone's expressions, smirked. Then, in front of them all, she glared and coldly commanded, "What are you all standing around for! Execute the mission!"

"Yes!"

When it came to serious matters, Tsunade was extremely authoritative. The Jonin quickly shouted back.

Only Orochimaru glanced at Jiraiya with disdain. "Idiot!"

Outside the Konoha Camp.

"What! Orochimaru, are you saying Tsunade is using this kid as a replacement for Nawaki?"

Jiraiya's eyes widened, and Orochimaru looked at him with disdain. "Idiot."

"What did you say, Orochimaru!"

Jiraiya bristled, but his heart was heavy.

The matter of Nawaki was still unresolved.

Let alone the Senju clan, the two of them had investigated repeatedly, turning the earth upside down!

But they found nothing. It was too clean, which was the biggest problem, and something they and the Konoha higher-ups didn't want to discuss.

"This kid!"

At this moment, Jiraiya also remembered the intelligence on Uchiha Yoru. He took out the book 'My Struggle' from his ninja tool pouch and sighed, shaking his head.

"Now that you mention it, this kid really is like Nawaki, both so bright."

Both possessed a naive ninja way. One wanted to become Hokage, the second First Hokage. The other wanted to learn Medical Ninjutsu to save the Shinobi World.

As Jiraiya was sighing, Tsunade's figure emerged from the camp.

"Jiraiya, what are you waiting for? Let's finish this mission quickly this time!"

Tsunade, with her heroic and valiant demeanor, coupled with her upbringing, unconsciously exuded an air of nobility, making her a natural leader.

Meanwhile, Orochimaru and Jiraiya had grown step by step in the later stages.

"Haha, let's go."

Jiraiya's hearty laughter masked his previous demeanor, while Orochimaru simply snorted. Such interactions only happened when the three of them were together.

Without a trace, Jiraiya glanced at Tsunade, his aversion to war growing even stronger.

Whoosh, whoosh...

Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru vanished from the Konoha camp. The other Konoha shinobi didn't notice anything.

After all, countless Konoha shinobi were now respectfully watching as Lord Tsunade summoned Katsuyu to treat the wounded with medical ninjutsu.

Meanwhile, Uchiha Yoru, disguised as Tsunade, mimicked her usual habits, even her leg-crossing posture. Frowning, he looked at various pieces of intelligence, clearly displeased but having no choice but to do so.

Shinobi were inherently deceptive, and the Shinobi World had not yet reached its later stages.

Konoha, Hokage's Office Building.

"Hiruzen, Onoki of Iwagakure is truly cunning. He's actually secretly contacting the leader of Kusagakure at this opportune moment."

In the office, Mitokado Homura spoke gravely about the changing situation, which made Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression even more somber.

The storm of the Second Shinobi World War was growing, and the situation seemed to be spiraling out of control.

"Hmph! I've always said these grass-cutting opportunists from Kusagakure should have been dealt with earlier. We should have let Orochimaru and Jiraiya find an opportunity to assassinate their leader and frame Iwagakure.

Whether it succeeded or not, we would have thrown the Land of Grass into chaos. Then, whatever Iwagakure wanted to do, they could have done it directly in the Land of Grass!"

Shimura Danzo said angrily, frustrated that Hiruzen's hesitation had caused them to miss an opportunity and put them in such a passive position.

"Danzo!"

Seeing that Shimura Danzo never considered the bigger picture, Hiruzen Sarutobi, as the Third Hokage, said sternly:

"Have you considered the consequences of such an action? If the matter were leaked, and Kusagakure and Iwagakure joined forces, could you bear the consequences if the war was brought into the Land of Fire?"

"Furthermore! Konoha is already a target of envy for the other ninja villages. If Konoha were to initiate a war against a small country first, do you think the other villages wouldn't use it as an excuse to unite and launch another attack on the Land of Fire by the Four Great Shinobi Villages?"

Facing the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi's aggressive and stern reprimand, Shimura Danzo's face turned red with suppressed anger.

The First Shinobi World War had been a devastating conflict where the Four Great Shinobi Villages had joined forces. Although Konoha had won, the cost had been extremely heavy.

Konoha's major clans had suffered heavy losses, and the Senju clan, who had led the charge, had almost been wiped out.

"Hiruzen, Danzo is also thinking of Konoha."

Seeing the two old friends bickering again, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, standing by, tried to mediate helplessly.

Looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi's composed demeanor as he grasped the overall situation, Shimura Danzo felt like a clown, filled with indignation.

"Fine! Hiruzen, rest assured, Root will seize an opportunity in the future and stir up discord among the other villages!"

At this moment, Danzo was filled with anger. It was as if Hiruzen only knew how to consider the bigger picture, while he himself understood nothing.

He wanted to prove himself!

Swish!

Just then, a dark figure appeared in the office. It was someone from the Anbu.

"Hokage-sama, urgent intelligence. A large number of Iwagakure elites have been spotted gathering on the border of the Land of Earth, heading towards the Land of Waterfalls."

"What!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face changed drastically. He quickly took the intelligence and his pupils constricted!

This is bad! Something has happened!
