"Lady Tsunade is still not awake."
Jingyin hesitated for two seconds, then stepped aside and said, "You come in first, I'll go call her."
"Thank you, Senior Sister Jingyin."
Kitazawa took off his shoes and went inside.
Chapter 150 Tsunade Leads the Team to Steal Karin
"Lady Tsunade."
Jingyin raised her hand and knocked on the door.
But after waiting for a while, there was no response from Tsunade.
"Lady Tsunade!"
The mute function involuntarily increased the volume.
"Shut up!"
Tsunade rolled over in bed.
With her movement, her two long, white legs were revealed.
"Lady Tsunade, Kitazawa needs to speak with you!"
After Jingyin finished speaking, she opened the door directly.
"Kitazawa?"
Tsunade, still half asleep, rolled back over.
Shizune glanced at it subconsciously and then fell silent.
There is absolutely no comparison between them.
But at the same time, I'm also glad that Kitazawa didn't see this messy scene.
"Didn't Kitazawa go to the Land of Grass?"
Tsunade sat up, yawned, and asked.
"He should have come back yesterday."
Jingyin thought for a moment and said, "Given his personality, he certainly wouldn't speak without reason; he probably really has something urgent to attend to."
"Could something have happened to Naruto?"
Tsunade got out of bed, but quickly shook her head and said, "If it's Naruto who's in trouble, you shouldn't be looking for me."
"Lady Tsunade, you should change into your nightgown."
"Mute me," the voice reminded.
"That's right, we can't let that guy get away with it."
Tsunade glanced at herself, her exposed skin barely concealed, and said.
"...?"
Silently, I was completely baffled.
Judging from her tone, it sounded like something had happened between Tsunade and Kitazawa.
Tsunade turned around and walked to the wardrobe, changing into her usual sleeveless top.
She casually tied a black belt around her neck, instantly giving her clothes a clear outline.
"What do you want?"
Tsunade walked barefoot to Kitazawa and casually said, "If it's not urgent, I'll throw you out."
Few dare to disturb her sleep.
"Of course!"
Kitazawa immediately said.
He knew that Tsunade wasn't lying.
In the original work, she could send Jiraiya flying several meters with a single punch.
Throwing him out would be even easier.
"I encountered a rather special ninja in Kusagakure."
Kitazawa repeated what he had said to Kurenai Yuhi.
Tsunade's pupils contracted upon hearing this, and she froze on the spot.
Although she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she already had the answer in her heart.
The ninja world is so vast that coincidences are bound to happen, but with Shanks and his enormous chakra, he is most likely a member of the Uzumaki clan.
"I never expected that there would still be members of the Uzumaki clan alive."
Tsunade slowly exhaled, and said with great surprise.
Konoha Village, or rather the Senju and Uzumaki clans, have a very deep connection.
The wife of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, was Mito Uzumaki, who came from the Uzumaki clan.
Mito Uzumaki was also the first Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.
The second Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was also from the Uzumaki clan, Uzumaki Kushina.
She was also the wife of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.
"The Hidden Grass Village is truly audacious!"
Tsunade clenched her fist and said, "Come on, let's go find the old man!"
Although Kusagakure is small, it is still a ninja village.
Matters involving relations between villages must be decided by the Hokage.
Kitazawa was not surprised at all by her reaction.
He stood up and followed Tsunade to the Hokage's office.
"Lady Tsunade."
Anbu ninja Haru stepped forward and said, "The Hokage hasn't arrived yet."
"Have him come over right away."
Tsunade said without any politeness.
"Yes."
If it were someone else, Qing would definitely ignore them and instead punish them for disrespect.
But Tsunade is different.
Qing was certain that if she ignored her, Tsunade would have to go to the Sarutobi clan to find Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Tsunade."
Not long after, Hiruzen Sarutobi walked in, glanced at Kitazawa, and asked in confusion, "What happened?"
Although Tsunade is usually carefree, she does know some manners.
It's quite rare for someone to come looking for him before his work hours.
But it's not the time of the Ninja World War, so what major events could happen now?
Do you still remember the Uzumaki clan?
Tsunade looked at him and asked.
"of course I remember."
Hiruzen Sarutobi asked solemnly, "Is it related to the Uzumaki clan?"
His first thought was that Tsunade had found the culprit who wiped out the Uzumaki clan.
If that's the case, then it's a big problem.
The Uzumaki clan is no ordinary ninja clan; they control the Land of Whirlpools, making it comparable to a small ninja village.
The fact that they could be wiped out overnight means the killer must be connected to the Five Great Villages.
In Hiruzen Sarutobi's opinion, the most likely candidates are Kirigakure and Kumogakure.
Kirigakure Village is nearby.
The Hidden Cloud Village also has a penchant for stealing the secret techniques of smaller ninja villages.
"Kitazawa discovered a Uzumaki clan ninja in Kusagakure."
Tsunade said directly.
"what?"
Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
But when he heard it was Kusagakure, and not Kumogakure or Kirigakure, he felt much more at ease.
The Hidden Leaf Village cannot withstand another Shinobi World War.
Although the Hyuga clan orchestrated Hyuga Hizashi's substitution, the Konoha village leadership did not intervene.
The reason is that they do not want to go to war with the Hidden Cloud Village.
Orochimaru fled, Jiraiya and Tsunade were away from home for many years, and Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki sacrificed themselves.
At that time, only Hiruzen Sarutobi and a few of his old buddies remained in Konoha Village.
"Kitazawa, are you sure?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Kitazawa and asked in a serious tone.
"It's true."
Kitazawa repeated the characteristics of Karin's mother.
"It seems to be almost certain."
Hiruzen Sarutobi believed most of it immediately.
"Old man, what are you planning to do?"
Tsunade asked in a deep voice.
"The Uzumaki clan are allies of Konoha Village; they must be saved."
Hiruzen Sarutobi stated his position without hesitation.
If he doesn't save her, he will surely anger Tsunade, and then it will be a loss for him.
Furthermore, Naruto Uzumaki has half Uzumaki clan blood, and he will blame him when he grows up and finds out about this.
In addition, the Uzumaki clan's ninjas are born Jinchūriki, which means that Konoha Village is well-prepared for any eventuality.
"How to save them is something that needs to be carefully considered."
Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly said, "Kusagakure is not worth Konoha's concern, but it may give the other four great villages an excuse to interfere."
"What excuse? It's our duty, Konoha Village, to rescue the Uzumaki clan!"
Tsunade said with dissatisfaction.
"As the Hokage, I cannot act rashly; I must consider all aspects carefully."
Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat embarrassed, but he still argued his case.
In his view, any action that could potentially provoke war should be approached with caution.
"Time waits for no one, I'll go myself!"
Tsunade stood up and said.
"I think we should discuss it first."
Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly advised, "If you go directly to demand people, it will make our Konoha Village seem too domineering."
