Naruto: Listen to the bow sound, resounding throughout the ninja world

Although they were also worried about that guy Kakuzu, at least they knew about Hidan's methods.

Things have to be done step by step.

Tsunade quickly dispatched Konoha's intelligence department to begin searching for information about Akatsuki.

Then he used encrypted means to convey the same message to Jiraiya.

Next, it was time to hold Asma’s funeral.

The Sarutobi family has had a rough time recently.

A few years ago, Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Hokage and clan leader, passed away.

Now his son has followed in his footsteps.

The fact that they have been able to develop to their current level over the years is entirely due to Sarutobi Hiruzen's selfishness and the convenience that has been given to them.

Even if the third generation died, they still had Asuma, an elite jonin, to support them.

At least I would have a say. But now even Asuma has died in battle.

There is no longer any strong person in their family who can be relied upon to support the family.

Konohamaru is the only child left in Sarutobi Hiruzen's lineage.

The white-haired old man who came to the office this morning is none other than the current chief elder of the Sarutobi clan.

Originally, after the death of the Third Hokage, Tsunade did not cause too much trouble for her teacher's family.

They even helped when the power recovery plan was being implemented, even though they were on the same side as Danzo and his men at the time.

However, this great elder is really old and confused, and he doesn't care about old friendships.

He was even easily instigated by Koharu to ask for favors from Tsunade.

They completely used Asma's death as a bargaining chip to gain more benefits for themselves.

That's why Tsunade was so angry early in the morning.

After announcing the date of the funeral, Kakashi and the others left.

On the way back, Shikamaru walked side by side with Nanayue.

"Qiyue, do you know what 'Jade' in the village means?"

Shikamaru asked a question out of nowhere, and then started talking without waiting for Nana to answer.

"Asuma has never beaten me in shogi."

“One time after he lost, he asked me a question.”

"He asked me what 'Jade Shogi' would represent if we brought shogi to the village level?"

"He didn't let me answer right away, but asked me to think about it carefully before telling him."

"But no matter how hard I thought about it, I couldn't understand what Asuma meant."

"The 'Jade General', a closely guarded chess piece, plays an important role in winning or losing in the rules."

"I thought about the Hokage, my parents, and my companions. But none of these are correct."

"But Asuma told me the answer to this question when he was dying."

"'Jade' refers to the future of this village, our generation and the next generation."

"It represents hope, so Asuma died bravely to save us."

"Do you think I am qualified to shoulder such an important responsibility?"

"I failed that time with Sasuke, and I failed this time with Asuma as well."

"I'm obviously afraid of trouble, but my strength is still so weak, why?"

After listening to Shikamaru's emotional outburst, July understood exactly what he meant by that last question.

It’s just that there are too many things in it, and sometimes not all questions have answers.

"Shikamaru, people may change and grow in a moment."

"There are some questions that I am looking for answers to, just like you."

"Since Asuma has entrusted you with the important task of protecting the 'Jade'."

"Then don't think about whether you are qualified or capable."

"If you don't try to take responsibility, you will never know whether you can do it or not."

“Don’t learn to take all the blame for your failure on yourself.”

"You are not a savior, don't think too highly of yourself."

Shikamaru stood there in a daze, while Nanazuki just left.

Nana felt like she was almost becoming the mother and psychological counselor of the entire Konoha.

After counseling Kakashi, Naruto, and Sasuke, he is now counseling Shikamaru.

Sometimes you can't say anything too harsh and you have to take care of their fragile hearts.

MD, I am just a teenager and an orphan.

Why is there no one to enlighten me?

Why are all of you either saintly or tsundere?

Has your heart become so fragile that it breaks at the slightest touch?

Why bother thinking about so many philosophical issues in life? Just live your own life well first.

You haven't even experienced anything yet, yet you're worrying about this and that.

Do you think you are such an important person? In this ninja world, the rotation of the planet cannot be delayed without anyone.

The sun rose as usual the next day.

Oh, I’m tired of complaining. Forget it, let’s go home and give my brain a good rest.

After returning home, I did a big cleaning in July and threw away a lot of things in the house.

She also replanned the layout of the room.

After cleaning, July opened the refrigerator and took out a dozen eggs, milk, flour and other ingredients.

Prepare to make a cake by yourself and grind a cup of coffee.

Sit quietly in the yard and drink afternoon tea.

But man proposes, God disposes. July had just put the cake in the oven and had no time to turn on the fire.

An ANBU came over and informed July to go to the Hokage's office for a meeting as there was an urgent matter.

Helplessly, July changed his clothes again and came to the Hokage's office again. Kakashi was also there.

Tsunade didn't say much and just threw the scroll to July.

July took it, opened the scroll and began to read its contents.

It contained information sent by Jiraiya after he learned that Asuma had died in battle.

They began to focus on investigating the whereabouts of Kakuzu and Hidan.

Finally, they found traces of the two people at the border between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Thunder.

They went to the underground gold exchange there to accept a bounty mission, but were discovered by Jiraiya's informant.

"Tsunade-sama, what are you going to do?"

Tsunade pressed her temples hard, she really had a headache now.

Although I knew the location of the two men, I didn't know whether I should send people to hunt them down.

This matter must be told to Shikamaru and the others, but it is not yet time to attend Asuma's funeral.

If we wait until the funeral is over before sending Shikamaru and the others to hunt him down, it would be too late by then.

No one knew where the two of them had gone.

And Tsunade really didn't want to send people to hunt him down without Kakuzu's accurate information.

This is too risky. Considering the identities of Shikamaru and the others, Tsunade is really conflicted now.

Finally, July gave a suggestion, which was to let her and Kakashi track the two people first.

Then, once the funeral is over, let Shikamaru and the others set off.

When the time comes, we will adapt to the circumstances. If we can win, we will win. If we can't, we will win.

With her Flying Thunder God, at least their lives were not in danger.

This is also a good opportunity to collect information about Kakuzu and prepare for the future.

After listening to July's suggestion, Tsunade thought about it carefully for a while.

Finally agreed to the action.

After receiving the order, Kakashi and Nanayuki set out secretly.

Before leaving, Tsunade specifically instructed July to bring them all back safely.

Because for this operation, July's Flying Thunder God is the key.
