Tsunade said solemnly, "Naruto, this mission is probably not an ordinary pursuit mission. So, besides eliminating Mukade, the rogue ninja from Sunagakure, there is another mission!"
"Another mission?" Naruto blinked curiously.
"Granduncle, Great-Granduncle, come in!" Tsunade called teasingly.
Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju entered wearing full battle armor.
Tsunade explained, "Naruto, besides that, Granduncle is very curious about the Dragon Vein and wants to study it. So for this mission, Great-Granduncle, Granduncle, and Hanabi Hyuga will be going with you and Sakura!"
"No way... We're going on a mission with the First Hokage and Second Hokage..." Sakura looked somewhat restrained.
Naruto wore a strange expression. If Mukade, the rogue ninja from Sunagakure, learned who had been dispatched to capture him, he would probably curse someone out.
"Wait, wait..." Naruto suddenly came back to his senses and hurriedly looked at Tsunade. "Wait, Granny Tsunade, Hanabi... Why is Hanabi coming with us?"
Tobirama Senju crossed his arms over his chest and said coldly, "The Hyuga Clan's Byakugan will be of great help to my research into the Dragon Vein. Besides that, the new generation of Ino-Shika-Cho will also be accompanying us."
"Shikamaru, Choji, and Ino are coming with us too?" Naruto's face lit up with delight.
Tsunade said, "Ino-Shika-Cho's mission differs from yours. Their goal is to investigate the contents of Mukade's dealings with the masked man. Naruto, make sure you capture him alive."
"Understood!" Naruto grinned happily. Capturing Mukade alive—with Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju joining them, forget capturing Mukade alive; they could probably scare him to death.
"Hahaha..." Hashirama Senju laughed heartily. "It's been a long time since I've felt like this, Tobirama."
"Hmph..." Tobirama Senju snorted. "Brother, don't forget that the Dragon Vein is our main objective. Don't embarrass yourself in front of these descendants of the younger generation."
