Above Konoha, a messenger hawk flew in from afar and finally landed at the communications department.
Achoo~
Kakashi wiped his nose again.
"An urgent mission. Sunagakure sent word that the Kazekage was captured by members of the Akatsuki.
"They are requesting support from Konoha. Aside from Tobitake Tonbo, you are the only person in Konoha who has encountered the Akatsuki.
"I want you to lead Team Kakashi to support Sunagakure and bring the Kazekage back."
Tsunade's expression was grave. She did not care whether Kakashi had caught a cold.
"Mm, understood. But Naruto..." Kakashi still wanted to say something.
"The Akatsuki's target is Naruto. We cannot protect him forever.
"He needs to grow now."
Tsunade had her own thoughts.
"Understood."

Four long tentacles extended from his body, and he wore sunglasses over his eyes.
The tentacles occasionally extended tools such as drills, tweezers, and blowtorches.
Clang! Clang!
"Nothing. Sunagakure was attacked, and Lord Hokage told me to keep an eye on Konoha's safety!
"So, what do you think? Isn't Dad's ninjutsu convenient?
"It'll definitely let you experience the charm of ninjutsu ahead of time."
Tobitake Tonbo looked at the various tools on his body.
Those were all instruments he had constructed with Eye-Painting Hand based on his own knowledge.
They were fitted with linked ninjutsu connected to Tobitake Keigo's nerves.
Not only did they reduce the strain on Tobitake Keigo's nerves, but their chakra was also supplied by him, the owner of Eye-Painting Hand.
"This is amazing! Dad, how did you come up with this? That means I can carry out all kinds of operations even before
