The Land of Wind, Sunagakure.
In Kazekage's Office, Kazekage sat in a chair with a furrowed brow.
" Konoha place where Anbu Ninja is so powerful. It seems necessary to discuss cooperation with Iwagakure."
"However, Onoki Tsuchikage Ōnoki of Iwagakure, is no pushover either..."
With a thoughtful expression, Kazekage finally tossed the urgent intelligence report in his hand onto the table.
"This Konoha Ninja who defeated Chiyo is a serious threat if he continues to remain hidden in the shadows."
"Such strength suggests he's no nobody. Who exactly is he?"
Some powerful Anbu Ninja also have public identities, such as Anbu Captain Hatake Sakumo, who is known as the Konoha's White Fang.
Minato Namikaze, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru all served in the Anbu).
As for Uya, his identity Anbu has already shaken the Kazekage Tsuchikage Iwagakure and Sunagakure, but... no one knows who he really is.
"Besides this guy whose identity is unknown, there's something else... Why hasn't Senjin returned yet?"
Kazekage wore a troubled expression again, muttering, "What accident happened? No, with Senjin's strength and a weapon like the Kusanagi Sword, who could possibly stop him?"
"Perhaps, Senjin is planning an assassination attempt against Konoha High Command, which is why there's been no word."
The Land of Rain.
Uya and Tsunade walked side by side, the rain pattering down, but Uya repelled it with Power of Tremors.
Tsunade, on the other hand, used her extremely refined Chakra control to make the rain slide off her body without wetting her clothes.
This dashed Uya's hopes of seeing Tsunade completely soaked.
This time, there were no unexpected incidents.
Uya wanted to detour to check on Konan Yahiko, but then she thought better of it and decided to go back to Konoha with Tsunade first.
"You've quietly acquired such strength; your hidden achievements probably go far beyond just defeating the Kazekage and assisting Chiyo."
After walking for a while, the outline of Konoha's camp could be seen ahead. Tsunade asked Uya a question.
Uya shrugged noncommittally.
Tsunade gave a slightly strange look, then her expression became complicated, and she sighed softly, "I'm afraid, at this rate, it's only a matter of time before you become the Anbu Captain."
" The Anbu Captain... is still a bit too far away."
Uya thought of Hatake Sakumo, shook his head, and realized that his current strength was not enough to truly reach the Anbu Captain, or even Hokage.
At the very least, the Fourth Gate of the True Eight Gates Released Formation must be opened.
The further you progress in the True Eight Gates Released Formation, the more difficult it becomes to open. The Fourth Gate is within reach, and there is hope for the Sixth Gate Fifth Gate well, but Uya can only glimpse the sixth gate, and even the extremely special Seventh Gate Eighth Gate, from afar.
Uya and Tsunade slowly walked into Konoha's camp.
Uya was still wearing his mask and cloak, and no one recognized him. However, Uya 'Tsunade return surprised many ninjas.
Some ninjas even stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with shock.
" Lady Tsunade... you're back?!"
"Um."
Tsunade nodded casually, then walked directly with Uya towards the command post in the center of the Konoha camp.
At this very moment, inside the command center at the heart of Konoha.
The person sitting at the head of the table was Hokage, the Hokage's Danzo, and his face showed a stern expression.
Directly opposite him was Hatake Sakumo.
The other seats were occupied by some of Konoha's Elite Jonin, all of whom were high-ranking members of Konoha.
"We received intelligence that the Iwagakure forces pursuing Tsunade were completely wiped out, which means Tsunade may still be alive. We must send an elite force to the heart of the Land of Rain; we cannot give up even if there is only a sliver of hope."
Hatake Sakumo then spoke with a solemn expression.
Danzo, however, rebuked him sternly, "I object! Sakumo, do you even know what the heart of the Land of Rain Ninja like? Sending an elite force there to their deaths?! The reason the Iwagakure forces chasing Tsunade were completely wiped out is most likely because of the Amegakure ninja."
"Besides, there's been no news for so long; Tsunade is most likely dead there. I absolutely disagree with sending an elite force to risk their lives for a dead person!"
Danzo's cold voice echoed here.
The next moment, an equally cold voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Of course there's no need to send an elite force out on a risk, because I'm already back."
As soon as she entered, Tsunade looked at Danzo with a cold expression.
An indescribable disgust welled up inside me.
Although she knew that Danzo's decision was not actually wrong, she and Hatake Sakumo held different opinions. Sakumo felt that she was still alive, Danzo felt that she was already dead.
However, Danzo's tone and manner of speaking still made her feel extremely disgusted. She hadn't felt it before, but now that she was the one being spoken to, she found it utterly repulsive.
Danzo's expression remained stern from a moment ago.
When he saw Tsunade walk in, he was completely stunned, even a little flustered, and wanted to rub his eyes to see if he was dreaming.
In an instant, almost all the ninjas present stood up.
These people were all strong, and they easily confirmed Tsunade's identity, confirming that she wasn't a ninja from an enemy village in disguise.
"How could this be...?"
"It's incredible that he survived and returned alive from the heart of the Land of Rain under those circumstances!"
"It's so good to see you back!"
Although they were all incredibly shocked, most of them showed a hint of joy.
Tsunade is, after all, an exceptionally skilled medical-nin; having Tsunade around always gives one a sense of reassurance.
Hatake Sakumo stared at Tsunade, slightly stunned, and couldn't help but ask, "You... how did you get back?!"
The next moment, another person walked in and stood next to Tsunade.
"Thanks to the timely support of the Anbu Ninja ' Ten'u '."
Tsunade nodded slightly to Hatake Sakumo.
Ten'u was Uya's code name, and Tsunade knew it too.
However, apart from Danzo and Hatake Sakumo, none of the other ninjas present knew who Ten'u was.
At this moment, everyone showed a shocked expression, wanting to know who the face under the mask really was.
To be able to bring Tsunade back from the heart of the Land of Rain under those circumstances, his strength is simply unfathomable!
When did Konoha Anbu acquire such a figure?
Hatake Sakumo was equally surprised, but more than that, he realized that with Uya's strength, he was indeed capable of bringing Tsunade back.
In crucial moments, there are still reliable people.
