Naruto's water escape is the strongest

Konoha.Hokage's office.

"That's the case."

The girl Haruno Sakura stood in front of Tsunade with her hands on her hips and said calmly.

"So," the blond woman asked, sitting at her desk, looking at the two people in front of her seriously, "Nanabi was taken away by Akatsuki in the end."

The atmosphere is a bit depressing.

Tsunade has been sitting in the position of Hokage for these years, and her power has gradually grown. Just by lowering her voice and narrowing her eyes, there is a sense of depression that is about to come, which makes people feel hairy.

"Yes." Sakura replied. She nodded regretfully, suppressing her depression and admitting, "I'm sorry, our mission failed."

As he spoke, he secretly glanced back at Sasuke beside him.

The meaning in those eyes seemed to imply that it was all Sasuke's fault.

It's not that she is shirking her responsibility. The fact is that if she hadn't protected Sasuke who was injured and unconscious, at least Akatsuki would not have been able to take away Nanao from under her nose.

The taste of failing her first important mission was fresh and bitter, and it was worth savoring for a few days; especially when she thought she was strong enough to change many things, reality slapped her in the face first.

So it is inevitable that you will have this idea: Sometimes when a mission fails, it always feels like your teammates are not doing their job well.

It’s really the same idea as when I was struggling in a fish pond game in my previous life.

Sasuke noticed the little girl's little movement. He stood behind Sakura. When he saw this, he slightly tilted his head and gave a gentle roll of his eyes in return.

"If I hadn't restrained Uchiha Itachi, you wouldn't have been able to repel Akatsuki." That's what the look in his eyes probably meant.

The expression on his face was calm and calm.

The small momentary interaction between the two did not escape Tsunade's eyes.The latter smiled, and the solemn expression on his face suddenly disappeared, and said with a smile: "Okay, no need to apologize, I don't mean to blame you. Of course, the mission must pursue success, but if the price of success requires sacrificing teammates, then How to carry out this task is a matter worthy of consideration.”

The blond woman paused and continued: "As far as this mission is concerned. Facing the Akatsuki duo without any preparation, and it is also the combination of Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Inikaki, being able to escape unscathed is already a success. Well, I’m afraid even if I or Jiraiya take action personally, we probably won’t be able to save the Nanao, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

"What's more, you also killed Kisame Inikisaki. I estimate that even for an organization like Akatsuki, the death of a tailless beast is a serious loss. This should greatly dampen their recent unbridled arrogance. .”

The Fifth Hokage said appreciatively.

"The price of capturing one tailed beast is the loss of another tailed beast," the Third Hokage, who was sitting next to the window, interjected and chuckled, "Even Akatsuki can't afford such a price."

The cheerful smile of the third generation immediately relaxed the atmosphere.

"As for Nanao" After saying this, Tsunade also frowned and exchanged a look with the Third Hokage.

"At Taki Ninja Village, I will write a letter to explain to them. I think they won't have any unnecessary opinions." The blond woman waved her hand, "The key is that we still don't know about Akatsuki's collection of tailed beasts. What is the specific purpose, and it is even less clear how the situation will change after Nanao is in their hands."

"Of course, no matter what they plan to do, whether it is using powerful illusions to control the tailed beasts as weapons, or sealing the tailed beasts into their own bodies to become new Jinchuuriki, or other unknown and more advanced methods, in short It's obvious that the more Jinchuuriki they get, the more Akatsuki's strength will increase, and conversely, the more our and other countries' strength will weaken."

"In short, I don't intend to cover up this incident. On the contrary, I want to let the other four

The country knew for the first time that Nanao was snatched away from us by Akatsuki. Although it would lose some face internationally, we can't care about that now. We must let those stubborn old diehards know the danger of Akatsuki's organization. "

The Fifth Hokage said calmly.

The fact that he blatantly snatched the Tailed Beast Jinchūriki from Konoha and was able to send two Kage-level masters at once was in front of him, so other countries couldn't help but be wary.

Haruno Sakura added: "Yes, and I now suspect that we actually underestimated the danger of Akatsuki. If Akatsuki people are not stupid, they should know that this kind of collecting tailed beasts will arouse the fear of all countries on the continent and even Hostility, and even being annihilated by our five major powers, then the question is, why do they dare to openly attack the tailed beasts? And not just one or two, but have ideas about all the tailed beasts."

Just like in the previous world, Akatsuki's act of capturing the Jinchuuriki is like a terrorist organization acquiring nuclear weapons, which will inevitably arouse an uproar among the five gangsters.If that organization still plans to snatch away all the nuclear arsenals of the five major countries, it will inevitably attract unrelenting attacks from all over the world.

No matter how stupid an organization is, it will not, or rather dare not, do such a thing.

unless

"Unless," the girl coldly stated her guess, and said slowly, "they have the confidence to fight against the whole world."

This possibility immediately moved everyone present.

Tsunade rubbed her temples and said with a headache: "Even if all nine tailed beasts are gathered together, and there are ten or even fifteen Kage-level ninjas in Akatsuki, such strength looks very strong, but with To fight against the whole world is just wishful thinking.”

"Either Akatsuki really has that strength," Sakura said in a serious tone.

Before Shippuden, it was just a matter of playing house between genin. After Shippuden, the combat power has expanded so much that Haruno Sakura can't believe it.But the meaning behind Xiao You's fearless actions is really chilling.

"Maybe this is the case," Sasuke interjected, breaking the solemn atmosphere in the office, "For example, they may think that after collecting a large number of tailed beasts, they will be able to make the five major countries fearful with their powerful strength, and thus gain the ability to be on equal footing with the five major nations. After all, they have the combat power to attack a big country, and the cooperation between the five big countries cannot be close, but there are many contradictions, so it has aroused hostility around the world. We may also be divided by Akatsuki, and eventually be defeated one by one. We have to Compromise with Akatsuki"

Tsunade shook his head.

"Sasuke, you underestimate the Kage of various countries. I have dealt with Tsuchikage, Raikage and even Kazekage. Knowing what kind of people they are, I can only say that the possibility you mentioned exists, but the probability is relatively small. Bar"

The Third Hokage also nodded: "Tsunade is right. Sasuke, you have to believe that in the face of this kind of enemy, the five major nations have the courage to put aside their hatred and fight against each other side by side."

Haruno Sakura shrugged her shoulders and expressed non-commitment.

Human beings have both bad qualities and bright spots. Since the two old Jiang Hus have already exceeded the combined age of her two lifetimes and have expressed this, she has nothing to say.

Sasuke opened his mouth, wanting to insist, but not knowing what to say, he hesitated for a long time.

Seeing this, Tsunade simply waved her hand, blocking Sasuke's words in her throat: "That's it, go back, write a mission summary report, and hand it to me."

"Mission Report" The two young ninjas in the audience widened their eyes, looked at each other, and then turned their gaze back to Tsunade at the same time.

"Ahem, yes, starting from this month, everyone must write." Tsunade turned the pen in her hand and said lightly, ignoring the expressions of her two subordinates who had seen a ghost, "If you don't write, you won't be paid. "

"By the way, this mission is recorded as S-level, so the report must be more than [-] words. That's it, you can go."

"Sakura, please stay here for a moment."
