While the entire "Yexibei" had descended into chaos, an ordinary ninja named Tenzo spent an ordinary, futile day.
Yesterday morning, Tenzo, Kakashi, and Yuhara had still been searching for Tsunade, one of the Three Legendary Sannin, in the Land of Iron. Just as they were about to enter a certain town to continue their search, Kakashi and Yuhara had run off on the spot, leaving Tenzo alone to carry out the mission.
What was outrageous was that, up to now, no one had told Tenzo what had happened in Konoha, or why Yuhara and Kakashi had been forced to return to the village immediately... It could not really be blamed on Yuhara. The chaos in Konoha had left every ninja in the village overwhelmed. Who would have had time to think about Tenzo?
Some things did not sound very nice when said aloud, but there was no doubt that this described the truth—in that moment, even Yuhara and Kakashi had forgotten that there was someone named Tenzo wandering around outside.
If Tenzo could receive a "network signal," his basic right to know might have been protected. Unfortunately, there was no if.
So Tenzo could only assume that something urgent, but not actually dangerous, had happened in Konoha. Perhaps the Third Hokage had suddenly developed senile dementia or something. Otherwise, there was no reason to leave him outside the village for so long. It was not as if Tenzo thought poorly of himself, either. His combat ability was actually quite good.
Besides, the village had ordered him to continue searching for Tsunade. After thinking it over, Tenzo became increasingly convinced that the Hokage had come down with some kind of sudden illness.
Tenzo could only be described as somewhat unlucky. While Konoha was undergoing a complete upheaval, he knew absolutely nothing
