Kazekage's Office.
Gaara is processing work.
On both sides of the desk, documents were stacked high.
Sunagakure experienced Chunin Ninja Exams's defeat, coupled with Fu Yi's troubles, the situation was very chaotic.
Gaara has never had a break since he took office.
Fortunately, after being trained by Shukaku, he already had little sleep and was very used to it.
Even so, if we can't finish it, we can't finish it at all.
But unlike Tsunade, he has no intention of slacking off or escaping at all.
At this moment, the door was pushed open directly.
"Gaara, something happened!"
Temari said with a panicked look.
"What happened?"
Gaara's heart skipped a beat.
It is definitely not a small thing to make Temari so messy.
Sunagakure Why is it so troubled?
"Do you still remember that you suddenly sensed a powerful Chakra wave yesterday?"
Temari took a deep breath and barely regained his composure.
"Remember."
Gaara nodded and said, "I asked you to investigate at that time."
"It's the legendary dragon vein."
Temari paused and said, "But this is not the point. The point is that Kakashi Hatake and others disappeared in Dragon Vein."
"What?!"
Gaara stood up awkwardly, unable to calm down for a moment.
"According to our investigation, they were the cause of the mutation in the Dragon Vein. But after the mutation disappeared, they disappeared."
Temari said in a solemn tone, "I have sent all Anbu to look for it, but until now, I have found nothing."
"..."
Gaara is silent.
For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
If it were an ordinary Konoha ninja, it wouldn't be that difficult if he went missing.
Because this matter actually has nothing to do with Sunagakure.
But the identities of the four missing people are very unusual.
Especially Shihui Aburame.
He is the current student of Hokage Tsunade.
Once angered, Sunagakure may face an unpredictable disaster.
"What to do now?"
Temari subconsciously looked at Gaara.
"Notify Konoha immediately."
Gaara said in a serious tone, "Only by telling the whole story clearly as soon as possible can Sunagakure be exempted from suspicion."
"I asked Kankuro to rush over as quickly as possible!"
Temari responded.
This kind of thing cannot be postponed or concealed.
Once suspected, it cannot be completely cleaned.
As for why I chose Kankuro, it's because he has a walking puppet and can run fast.
"Send out all Sunagakure available ninjas, expand the search area, and try to find them as much as possible."
Gaara sighed and said, "There are only these two things that can be done."
"Okay."
Temari nodded.
Seeing his expression, I hesitated to speak.
To be honest, Sunagakure behaved like this out of fear of Konoha and would have lost the face of the five major villages.
But people under the eaves have to bow their heads.
Temari turned around and left Kazekage's Office.
She found Kankuro and explained the situation.
After the shock, he rushed out quickly.
Under normal circumstances, it takes three days from Sunagakure to Konoha.
But with his hard work, it only took half a day.
Hokage Office.
Tsunade looked at Kankuro and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
The main reason is that his condition is really bad.
His face was pale, his mouth was cracked, and his whole body was covered in dust.
It gave Tsunade the feeling that he had just escaped from a den of thieves.
"Shizune."
Tsunade said casually, "Pour him a glass of water."
Shizune was holding the water glass, but before he could step forward, Kankuro snatched it away.
Without saying a word, he drank tons and tons of it.
"Lord Hokage."
Kankuro put down the water glass, bowed slightly and said, "Forgive me for my rude behavior just now."
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Tsunade waved his hand indifferently.
"They... they're missing..."
Kankuro gritted his teeth and then plucked up the courage to speak.
"Who is missing?"
Tsunade stopped and subconsciously sat up.
She already had a bad premonition.
"No...Team 7."
Kankuro said with difficulty.
The next second, he felt like he was hanging in the air.
Tsunade grabbed his collar and lifted him up directly.
Her entire face sank and she asked, "How could they disappear?!"
In the end, he looked ferocious and could no longer control his emotions.
An astonishing murderous aura enveloped Kankuro.
Terrible!
How terrible!
Kankuro has the illusion of going crazy Gaara.
It's like the rampaging One-Tail.
In the next second, he will leave this beautiful world.
His body was shaking constantly, but when he thought of Sunagakure, he tried to cheer up.
"It's... dragon vein..."
Kankuro suppressed his blush.
He felt that the collar was getting tighter and tighter, making him feel like a fish dying of thirst.
"Lady Tsunade!"
Shizune held Tsunade's wrist and said with a trembling voice, "Let him go first and listen to what he has to say!"
She still retains a shred of sanity.
But still feeling confused.
The only good thing is that Kankuro said missing, not dead.
Otherwise, it would be hard for her to imagine how she could lose control.
Tsunade let go of his hand in silence.
She realized that she had just been too rude.
When Kankuro landed, he didn't have time to take a breath, so he quickly told what happened exactly as it happened.
The main reason was that Tsunade's look made his scalp numb.
He felt that if he was slow, the entire Sunagakure would suffer.
Kankuro couldn't help but wonder, is their teacher-student relationship so good?
"This brat!"
Tsunade gritted his teeth and said.
As soon as she heard this, she knew that Shihui Aburame was making claims again!
Because the mission she issued was obviously to capture Mukade and strengthen the seal of Minato Namikaze.
"Lady Tsunade, I remember that Lord Fourth Hokage also performed tasks related to dragon veins!"
Shizune suddenly remembered something and said quickly.
"Go get Minato's mission report on Dragon Vein."
Tsunade sat back on Hokage's seat, rubbing his forehead distractedly.
"Yes."
Shizune ran out.
In less than a minute, a scroll was brought back.
Teuchi opened the scroll, read it quickly, and then fell into silence.
The experiences of Minato Namikaze and Shihui Aburame are somewhat similar.
But the above does not mention a word about the internal situation of Rōran.
"Lady Tsunade?"
Shizune couldn't help shouting.
Tsunade looked at the worried Shizune and gave her the scroll.
"That means Shiki is fine?"
Shizune asked with surprise on his face after reading it.
"..."
Tsunade cannot guarantee it.
The situation in both cases is not exactly the same.
"Although Team Fourth Hokage is strong, Team 7 is not bad either. It will not put his life in danger."
Shizune said comfortingly.
Kankuro collapsed on the ground after hearing this.
Saved.
Just now he really thought Tsunade was going to kill him.
"Now go to Sunagakure!"
Tsunade suddenly slapped his palm on the table and made a loud noise.
Shizune and Kankuro were both shocked.
"Go get ready!"
Tsunade thought she could calm down and wait, but she found that she couldn't.
This is true even if you have Minato Namikaze's experience before.
And she always thinks about the worst ending. especially when she and Shihui Aburame are gambling.
This caused blood to constantly appear in her mind.
Tsunade clenched his fists and his body began to tremble slightly.
"Lady Tsunade?"
Shizune's heart trembled.
This situation is very similar to a sign of recurrence of hemophobia.
"I'm fine."
Tsunade calmed down and said angrily, "When I see that brat, I'm going to teach him a lesson!"
Kankuro took two steps back.
He finally discovered that there were obviously four people in Team 7, but Tsunade and Shizune only discussed one person, and that was Shihui Aburame.
Now he no longer dares to think about what will happen to Sunagakure if something happens to Shihui Aburame.
Shizune left Hokage's office.
After she found Shikaku Nara and explained the situation, she and Tsunade set off for Sunagakure.
Kankuro is the worst.
He didn't even have time to rest before he had to hit the road again.
Fortunately, this time he met two top medical ninjas, and at least he could not die.
Rōran Ruins.
Dragon Vein Seal.
"Lord Hokage."
Gaara took out a handful of Kunai.
"This is Flying Thunder God Kunai."
Tsunade looked at Kunai in his hand, thoughtfully.
She had just checked it over.
According to legend, this dragon vein should have endless Chakra.
But how can it be endless now?
At most it is equivalent to a weak version of One-Tail Shukaku.
What happened that caused Dragon Vein to consume so much Chakra?
Coupled with Flying Thunder God Kunai, she felt that they might have entered a strange space similar to Three Great Sage Lands.
After all, Minato Namikaze and the others were like this back then, disappearing for a while and then reappearing.
"I already know the general situation."
Tsunade came to his senses and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you Sunagakure."
Gaara's hanging heart finally fell.
"You guys, go back."
Tsunade waved his hand and said, "I'll wait here."
Gaara and Temari looked at each other, lifted up the dying Kankuro and left the Rōran ruins.
"Yugao, prepare the tent."
Tsunade ordered.
Uzuki Yugao and Anbu Ninja quickly arranged the tent, and soon a tent was set up.
"Give me the nectar that brat gave you."
Tsunade looked at Shizune.
"..."
Shizune showed hesitation.
Shihui Aburame knew that Dragon Vein would be delayed for a while, so he gave a batch of nectar wine in advance.
But instead of giving it to Tsunade, he asked Shizune to keep it and designated him to drink one bottle a day.
I just drank one bottle today.
"Give it to me!"
Tsunade said with sharp eyes.
Shizune had no choice but to give her a bottle.
Tsunade took a silent sip of wine, then took a second sip, and soon the bottle bottomed out.
There was a blush on her face.
But why am I still upset?
Tsunade staggered into the tent and lay on the bed.
"Lady Tsunade?"
Shizune looked at her with a worried look.
She has never seen Tsunade look like this.
Suddenly, a treasonous thought came into her mind.
This seems like falling out of love.
"You go out."
Tsunade's voice was slightly drunk.
"Yes."
Shizune hesitated for a few seconds, then turned and left.
"So annoying! Kid!"
Tsunade scratched his head, and his neat blond hair suddenly became messy, like a cat with fried hair.
She looked at the unfamiliar ceiling and suddenly realized something was wrong with her.
For a moment, she fell into silence.
Rōran Somewhere in the corner.
Sasuke Uchiha Looking at the familiar face in front of him, he was very confused.
Where am I?
What happened?
Although Sasuke Uchiha has never seen Minato Namikaze in real life, he has seen the avatar on Hokage Rock countless times.
The person in front of me is clearly the younger version of Fourth Hokage.
Look at the other two young men who took off their masks. Aren't these Akimichi Ding Zuo and Shibi Aburame?
Especially the latter.
Sasuke Uchiha saw him many times when he went to find Shihui Aburame.
But it's still the same problem.
They are younger.
"I roughly understand the situation."
After listening to Sasuke Uchiha's words, Minato Namikaze said thoughtfully.
"How to say?"
Akimichi Ding asked curiously.
"He is the Konoha ninja from twenty years in the future."
Minato Namikaze said shockingly.
"What?"
Akimichi D and Shibi Aburame both showed surprised expressions.
Sasuke Uchiha even gave up thinking.
"You are people of the future. You should not stay in the past. Otherwise, the future will definitely change greatly."
Minato Namikaze said in a deep voice, "Judging from your story, the key person is Mukade, who is now Rōran Minister Anrokuzan."
"But doesn't Rōran have two ministers?"
Akimichi Zuo Ding asked in confusion.
"Two people?"
Sasuke Uchiha was slightly startled and asked quickly, "Is it Shiki?"
He remembered that when the dragon vein broke out, Shihui Aburame was standing with Mukade.
"Shiki?"
Shibi Aburame suddenly said, "Could this name belong to me, Aburame Clan?"
"He is your son."
Sasuke Uchiha answered.
"Ah?"
Shibi Aburame showed a subtle expression on his face.
He hasn't found a girlfriend yet, but he actually has a son?
"Congratulations."
Akimichi Zuo Ding said jokingly.
"Not Shiki."
Minato Namikaze shook his head and said, "His name is Shi Siming."
"Shi Siming?"
Sasuke Uchiha was confused, "What a strange name."
"Never mind that for now."
Minato Namikaze looked at Shibi Aburame and said, "Shibi, find Kakashi and the others."
"Okay."
Shibi Aburame nodded and said, "I can just see what Kakashi will look like twenty years from now."
"Aren't you curious about your son?"
Akimichi Zuo Ding asked with a smile.
"..."
Shibi Aburame glared at him and released a large number of insect swarms.
After a few minutes, he raised his hand and pointed north.
"Let's go over there."
Minato Namikaze took out a handful of Flying Thunder God Kunai.
Sasuke Uchiha experienced the legendary Flying Thunder God Technique for the first time.
There is only one word, that is fast.
"Teacher?"
Kakashi Hatake looked at Minato Namikaze, and his whole body fell into a sluggish state.
"It does look the same as Kakashi."
Minato Namikaze suddenly raised his eyebrows. He was about to speak, but stopped again.
He originally wanted to ask him what happened to that eye, but the more he knew, the more it would affect time and space.
"Let me explain the situation to you first."
Minato Namikaze suppressed his inner curiosity and told his guess again.
"Is this... like this?"
Kakashi Hatake said and turned around.
His body trembled slightly, and his eyes were filled with mist in an instant.
Minato Namikaze was slightly startled.
He, Choji Akimichi, and Shibi Aburame looked at each other, and they both understood something.
"Kakashi, you must have suffered a lot in the future."
Minato Namikaze walked forward, patted his shoulder and said gently.
Two-in-one, with chapters updated during the day.
