"Uncle, I'm leaving."
Nonō, who had finished wiping the shelf, hung his apron on the shelf and said while tilting his head.
"Wait a minute."
Might Duy, who was checking the equipment, stopped what he was doing and took out a wad of money from his pocket. "Here, this is your salary for this month."
"Why so many?"
Nonō hesitated for a moment and did not reach out to pick it up.
Having been with Konoha for almost a year, she still knows the prices here very well. She only comes here after school every day to clean the shelves and sell some things. The salary is really a lot.
"Here you go, just take it!"
Dai smiled and put the money into Nonō's hand.
"Land of Rivers's war is getting more and more intense. The weapon shop's business has been very good recently, so the salary for you will be higher. Don't feel embarrassed, it's hard for you to do so much work every day."
Dai looked high-spirited and completely lost the decadence he had a few months ago. Although he didn't know how to do business before, because of exercise and working with various equipment all year round, the business of the weapons store has been getting better and better in the past few months.
"Hey, thank you, uncle."
Nonō stuck out his tongue and carefully put the money in his pocket.
"Then I'm leaving?"
"Go ahead..."
But before Nonō went out, Dai suddenly patted his head, seemed to remember something, turned around and walked into the counter.
"I almost forgot about this."
He handed a set of packaged clothes to Nonō and said, "This is the latest model I bought specifically for you. Not only is the material soft and well-ventilated, but it also has strong stretchability. This way you don't have to worry about running out of clothes when you exercise in the future."
"..."
Looking at his shining teeth and thick black eyebrows, Nonō tied the green tights tremblingly.
She couldn't help but shudder as she imagined herself wearing this outfit to school.
Uncle Dai is fine everywhere, but this habit is unbearable. The weapons are discounted and tights are given away. Isn't this a deliberate attempt to drive away customers?!
After walking out of the store, Nonō silently thought about what to do with this set of clothes while walking towards the Senju Clan.
She made an appointment with Kushina to have barbecue together tonight.
After crossing a few blocks, the flow of people gradually dwindled. During the war, there were not many people in Konoha, and Senju Clan Compound here was even more desolate.
"Hey, haven't you come yet?"
Nonō, holding the clothes, stood at the door and waited for a while.
Bang bang bang!
"Kushina, are you there?"
After knocking on the door and finding no one answered, Nonō jumped deep into the yard.
When she walked to Kushina's cabin familiarly, she found that the door had been opened, but there was no one inside!
"Kushina, where are you?"
Nonō suddenly panicked and shouted loudly. She usually comes to Kushina at this point. If there is something special, Kushina will tell her in advance.
"If you find that Kushina is missing one day, contact me with Summoning Snake, and then tell Third Hokage!"
Nonō Suddenly remembered what Chen said before leaving. So in panic, she quickly ran to the big tree in the yard, and then pushed away a stone on it.
"Kushina is missing. Go and notify Chen!"
She said to Black Striped Snake who was sleeping under the stone.
The black snake hissed, then turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared into the air.
"And...Third Hokage."
She didn't care about the clothes in her hands and ran towards Hokage Building.
Third Hokage, who was sitting in the office, took a long puff of his cigarette bag and showed a sad look.
Because of the pressure of the frontline war, Ninja Academy has begun to shorten the six-year system to three years. This large-scale spawning of Genin is nothing more than killing the goose that lays the egg, but there is nothing that can be done. After all, the war has lasted for three full years.
Just as he was flipping through the documents, he heard a commotion outside.
"What's going on?"
After a while, a Chunin wearing a light green vest walked in and said, "A student from the Ninja Academy tried to attack Hokage Building, but the guard has stopped him."
"..."
Third Hokage's face was a little twitchy. If Ninja Academy's students had the strength to challenge Hokage Building, then Konoha would beat Ninja War and directly sweep Five Great Nations.
These guards want to make big news if they have nothing to do.
"Did you tell me the reason?"
"It seems that one of her friends has disappeared..."
"Then let her find Konoha Military Police Force."
"I said so too, but she refused and insisted on seeing you." There was some hesitation on Chunin's face.
"What's wrong?"
"She said the missing one is your illegitimate daughter..."
"Cough cough cough." Third Hokage didn't spit out the cigarette, almost choking his throat.
"Nonsense!"
He was about to scold him with a straight face, but suddenly a rumor came to his mind. A few years ago, someone in the Ninja Academy inexplicably reported that Kushina was his illegitimate daughter, which even caused him to be beaten up by Biwako.
Third Hokage's face changed and he said quickly, "Bring that person over quickly."
"Yes!"
Chunin seemed to understand something, glanced at Third Hokage with a strange look, then turned and walked out.
After a while, Nonō walked into the office alone. She was a little embarrassed and said anxiously, "Lord Hokage, Kushina is missing... I can't find it anywhere!"
Third Hokage nodded, asked her to sit down on the stool, and then took out a transparent crystal ball from under the table.
But after using Telescope Technique, Kushina did not appear in it.
When this happens, there are generally only three possibilities. First, the user actively blocked this Ninjutsu. Second, the person being cast is already dead. Third, the person being cast is not in Konoha Village.
Kushina does not have the ability to block this Ninjutsu, so it is most likely that it has been hijacked.
The question is how is this possible? With Root of Danzo in charge of Police Force, plus the protective barrier of Anbu and Konoha protecting Kushina, who has the ability to kidnap her?
Are Danzo and Anbu waste?
"Come here!"
"Lord Hokage!"
A Anbu Ninja wearing a fox mask was half-kneeling on the ground.
"Three things. First, block Konoha Gate immediately. Second, find Anbu who protects Kushina. Third, notify Police Force acting captain Shimura Danzo and ask him to run to see me!"
After listening to the order, the Anbu did not leave, but just raised his head and looked at Third Hokage.
"What's wrong?"
"Elder Danzo... went to Daimyo's Capital this morning..."
"Bang!"
The corner of the table in front of him was chopped off by Third Hokage's palm.
"Okay, great. He doesn't need to come back."
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Third Hokage said coldly, "Notify Hyuga Tenko, Inuzuka Iwa and Aburame Shibi and ask them to come see me."
"Yes!"
