Zhang Yu stared at the two options.
Based on his personality, he would definitely choose the second one.
Sasuke can leave whenever he wants.
We just need to wait for Naruto to bring him back.
However, the two tasks differ by 50,000 gold coins.
To earn more, the first option is more suitable.
I choose one.
"Ding! Selection successful!"
Zhang Yu closed the system interface and looked at Tsunade.
"Send a young man from Konoha."
Tsunade frowned.
"Young people?"
" Konoha's Konoha 12 ".
Zhang Yu said, "Have them form a pursuit team and bring Sasuke back."
Kakashi was the first to object.
" The Sound Four are quite strong."
"Sending them would be too risky."
Might Guy also became serious.
" Boss Zhang Yu, Rock Lee and the others still lack practical experience."
"These pursuit missions are very likely to result in casualties."
Yamato didn't speak, but he agreed with their assessment.
Zhang Yu looked at them.
"It is precisely because we lack real-world experience that we should go."
"Ninjas can't stay in the village training forever."
"This pursuit was dangerous, but also a valuable experience."
"No one else needs to get involved."
Tsunade asked, "Are you sure you want to hand over the mission to them?"
"Sure."
Zhang Yu walked to the window and looked down at the fallen Konoha.
"Where leaves dance in the air, fire continues to burn."
" Konoha's future does not lie with us."
"And in those teenagers."
"If they are not given the opportunity to experience trials and tribulations, they will never be able to complete their transformation."
No one spoke in the office.
Tsunade watched Zhang Yu's retreating figure, her eyes growing brighter and brighter.
Where leaves dance in the air, the fire burns eternally.
These words express the will that Konoha has always upheld.
Kakashi looked down at the intelligence report on the table.
He was initially only worried about the students being in danger.
At this moment, they realized that Zhang Yu wasn't sending them to their deaths in vain.
Might Guy clenched his fists, deeply moved.
" Rock Lee and his team really need to undergo a real test."
Yamato stood ramrod straight, his face full of admiration.
He had witnessed Zhang Yu's abilities firsthand.
It's only now that I realize Zhang Yu's way of looking at Konoha's juniors is also far beyond that of ordinary people.
Zhang Yu turned around and was somewhat surprised by their reactions.
He simply repeated what he already knew.
The effect was even better than Genjutsu.
If there's a chance in the future, I can use it more often.
Tsunade had already made her decision in secret.
Zhang Yu is capable, broad-minded, and willing to consider the future of Konoha.
It's such a shame that someone like him isn't Hokage.
She got up from her seat.
"Good."
"We'll do it your way."
How should the pursuit team be arranged?
Zhang Yu picked up the intelligence report on the table.
"Summon the Konoha 12 immediately."
"Form a pursuit team."
"I will personally lead this mission." Zhang Yu put the intelligence report back on the table.
" Kakashi, Guy."
"You two go and inform all the Genin Konoha."
"Meet on the rooftop of the Hokage's office building within half an hour."
Kakashi nodded.
"Clear."
Might Guy clenched his fist.
"Gather the young seedlings, for this is the moment when youth burns bright!"
"I will make sure the message reaches everyone!"
Bang!
Two plumes of white smoke exploded simultaneously.
Kakashi and Might Guy used the Body Flicker Technique to leave the office immediately.
Zhang Yu then looked at Yamato.
" Yamato."
"Exist!"
Yamato instinctively straightened his body.
"You'll be with me throughout this mission, serving as my assistant."
Yamato was taken aback.
He never expected that Zhang Yu would hand over this position to him.
Zhang Yu now possesses power that even the Sage of Six Paths must take seriously.
Being able to follow such a strong person, even if it's just handling trivial matters, can teach you a lot.
"Don't worry, Boss Zhang Yu!"
"I will definitely complete the mission!"
Yamato's reply was so loud that it shook the office window.
Tsunade rubbed her ears.
"I'm just making you my assistant."
There's no need to get so worked up.
Yamato tried hard to control his expression.
"Yes, Lord Hokage."
But his straight back said it all.
Zhang Yu walked towards the office door.
Let's go.
"Go to the rooftop and wait for them."
The group arrived at the rooftop of the Hokage's office building.
Yamato quickly brought over a table and set out the maps and intelligence that might be needed for this operation.
Zhang Yu casually glanced through them a few times.
The Sound Four have already left the border of the Land of Fire.
At a normal pace, it would take at least one or two days to catch up.
But for Zhang Yu, distance is not a problem.
He called these young people over mainly to give them a chance to practice.
Less than half an hour later, a flurry of footsteps could be heard at the bottom of the stairs.
Naruto was the first to rush onto the rooftop.
" Boss Zhang Yu!"
"Have they found Sasuke?"
He ran so fast that his forehead was covered in sweat.
Sakura followed closely behind.
She had also heard the news of Sasuke's disappearance, and her face turned pale.
Shikamaru, Choji, Ino, Ino, Shino, Hinata, Neji, Tenten, and Rock Lee also arrived one after another.
The eleven Genin quickly lined up.
The crowd looked at each other, completely bewildered.
Choji was still holding half a bag of potato chips.
"Why were we all suddenly called here? Is it for a group mission?"
Shikamaru had his hands in his pockets.
"If they can gather so many people together, this must be something big."
Kiba squatted down next to Akamaru and looked up at Zhang Yu.
" Boss Zhang Yu, what exactly happened?"
Zhang Yu did not answer immediately.
He scanned it from left to right.
One person is missing.
Naruto turned around and counted as well.
Who didn't come?
Sakura's expression changed.
Sasuke.
The rooftop fell silent instantly.
Naruto quickly turned to look at Zhang Yu.
Why didn't Sasuke come?
"He defected from Konoha last night."
Zhang Yu put it very directly.
The Sound Four took him away from the Land of Fire.
Naruto stood there, stunned.
"Defection?"
"That's impossible!"
He even attended the Summer Festival last night!
How could he suddenly leave Konoha?
Sakura also took a step forward.
"Did Orochimaru's men forcibly take him away?"
Sasuke would not defect voluntarily.
Zhang Yu shook his head.
"The border patrol team witnessed him take action."
" Sasuke left voluntarily."
Naruto's expression changed completely.
"Impossible."
Why did he leave?
"She was perfectly fine when we ate yesterday!"
Zhang Yu stroked his chin.
"There are reasons, and they're not entirely without them."
Naruto immediately pressed for more information.
What's the reason?
It's mostly because of you.
"I?"
Naruto pointed to his own nose.
What does this have to do with me?
The other people on the rooftop also looked over.
Zhang Yu said in a serious tone, "Yesterday you took Sasuke's jacket, trousers, and underwear."
"He even carried those clothes and ran all the way through the streets of Konoha."
So many people saw it.
" Sasuke shy, and perhaps out of shame and anger, he dared not stay in Konoha any longer, so he had no choice but to leave with the Sound Four."
