A Grass Ninja stood up and gritted his teeth and said, "Chief, Yíngsháo that woman is too important to our village's medical system, we can't just let her go! We have to find a way to capture her!"
The Grass Ninja leader was sitting in a high position with a gloomy face. He snorted coldly when he heard this, "Arrest? How? That's Red Catastrophe! Even Konoha Sannin Princess Tsunade is by his side. Do you think any of us Kusagakure can deal with them?"
The Grass Ninja was choked, his face turned red, he hesitated and could not speak, and in the end he could only lower his head in embarrassment and remained silent.
At this time, another Grass Ninja rolled his eyes, stepped forward and suggested. "Chief, since the ninjas in our village are not strong enough, why not... hire someone?"
Grass Ninja leader frowned. "Hire someone?"
The man nodded and explained:
"Yíngsháo's ability is so strong. With her here, our village's medical expenses can be saved by half! How many ninjas have we lost over the years just relying on her ability? If she is taken away by Konoha, our losses will be huge!"
Leader Grass Ninja thought for a moment, and obviously realized the value of Yíngsháo, so he asked in a deep voice, "Who do you want to hire?"
The man immediately replied, "My subordinates have heard of a Bounty Hunter named Kakuzu, who is extremely powerful. It is said that he once assassinated First Hokage. Although he failed, he came back alive, which is enough to prove his ability!"
Leader Grass Ninja narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and finally made a decision. "Okay! Let him do it! Pass the order and contact Kakuzu immediately. No matter how much money you spend, you must bring Yíngsháo back to me!"
"Yes!" The man accepted the order, turned around and left quickly, preparing to arrange employment matters.
Kakuzu is very poor now.
Very poor.
Since the last assassination attempt on Tsunade failed and three hearts were blown out by the furious Princess Tsunade, he has been seriously injured.
Later, he was hired by Iwagakure to assassinate Yūto, but he was almost beaten to death and all the bounties he had saved for decades were taken away.
Now he is so poor that he can barely get enough money to replace his heart.
Therefore, when Kusagakure's messenger found him, Kakuzu's gloomy face showed a rare hint of interest.
"Mission?" he asked in a low voice, his green eyes flashing with the light of money.
Grass Ninja messenger nodded. "Yes, we would like to ask you to help arrest someone."
Kakuzu frowned.
He used to only take on murder missions because killing people was easy and catching people was troublesome.
But now... He touched the shriveled money bag and said coldly, "Say."
Grass Ninja The messenger rolled his eyes. If he directly said it was Red Catastrophe and Tsunade, this guy would definitely charge a very high price, and he wouldn't be greedy for much.
So, he coughed and pretended to be relaxed and said, "That's it, Konoha and two Jonin broke into our village without permission and forcibly abducted a red-haired Kunoichi. We hope you can bring her back."
Kakuzu narrowed his eyes. "Two Jonin?"
"Yes, it's the ordinary Konoha Jonin." The Grass Ninja messenger added confidently.
Kakuzu thought in his mind that two ordinary Jonin were just something he could easily solve without any effort at all.
"Ten million." He directly offered the price.
Grass Ninja The messenger was delighted. The price was much lower than he expected! He nodded quickly. "Deal!"
Kakuzu snorted coldly, accepted the deposit, turned and left.
He didn't know that what he was about to face were not two ordinary Jonin at all.
Instead...Red Catastrophe Uchiha Yūto, and Konoha Sannin Princess Tsunade.
One day later, on the forest path.
Since they were carrying Yíngsháo, the three of them were not traveling very fast.
Yūto estimated that at this rate, it would take at least several days to get back to Konoha.
Yíngsháo walked beside Tsunade, stealing glances at Yūto from time to time, and then quickly looking away.
She saw the occasional intimate interactions between Tsunade and Yūto, and finally couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Lady Tsunade... Are you and Mr. Yūto lovers?"
Tsunade paused, his ears slightly red, but he still nodded calmly. "Yes, we are lovers."
Yíngsháo pursed his lips. After hesitating for a moment, he still couldn't help complaining. "But... Mr. Yūto is so fierce. How did you fall in love with him?"
Tsunade couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and explained helplessly, "He is usually a bit fierce, but at critical moments... he is actually very gentle."
Yíngsháo silently glanced at Yūto who was walking behind... Where is the gentleness?
Tsunade seemed to understand her thoughts, coughing slightly and added, "Besides, he is handsome."
Yíngsháo was startled, and subconsciously glanced at Yūto.
The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves and shone on the side of his face. He was indeed... very handsome.
She sighed helplessly, "Okay, you're right."
After a moment of silence, Yíngsháo whispered, "Actually... there are many people who have pursued me in Kusagakure."
Tsunade turned to look at her.
Yíngsháo smiled bitterly, "But they just want to exchange my abilities for money, or use them to treat their companions... No one has ever really liked me."
Tsunade felt a pain in his heart and reached out to pat her shoulder gently. "Don't worry, no one will dare to do this to you Konoha."
Yíngsháo nodded, and the two fell into silence.
After silence, she asked doubtfully, "Lady Tsunade, why did you come to Kusagakure to save me?"
Tsunade's expression froze and he said vaguely, "Well... Yūto is sick and needs to find a way to treat it."
Yíngsháo still wanted to ask, but at this moment...
Whoosh!
There was a sudden slight noise in the trees not far away.
Tsunade immediately entered a state of alert, protecting Yíngsháo behind him.
The shadows of the trees swayed, and a tall figure slowly walked out.
The man was wearing a black robe and a mask on his face, revealing only a pair of cold green eyes, exuding a dangerous aura.
It was Kakuzu who accepted Kusagakure's employment and came to arrest Yíngsháo.
Kakuzu looked at the red-haired Yíngsháo, and then looked at Tsunade...
At that moment, Kakuzu wanted to scold her.
Where are the two promised Konoha and ordinary Jonin?
The Blond Hair woman standing in the front, that iconic big thunder, who else could it be if she wasn't Konoha Sannin Princess Tsunade?!
Kakuzu still remembers the tragic scene when Tsunade was assassinated last time, three hearts were exploded by her punch.
This woman is very strong and she cannot beat her.
Since one of Jonin is Tsunade, then the other one shouldn't be...
Kakuzu looked past Yíngsháo and Tsunade, looking behind them.
Sure enough, that guy is the person Kakuzu is least willing to face now, Uchiha Yūto.
Yūto Although his eyesight was impaired, he could clearly see that the blocker was his old friend and money-spreading boy Kakuzu.
He smiled slightly and walked up to Kakuzu.
"Long time no see, Kakuzu."
All he wants now is to rush back to Kusagakure and hang up the Grass Ninja messenger who lied to him!
How can this be an easy task?
This is a fucking fatal mission!
