"So, why are you following me? Didn't I tell you it's just a normal reconnaissance mission? The difficulty is only between BC and BC at most. Objectively speaking, I'm just going to investigate the local customs and practices."
Hanyu looked at Tsunade who was following him speechlessly. At this time, the two of them had already left the Hidden Leaf Village together and were walking on a path in the forest.
That's right, Hanyu's mission team was expanded from one person to two people. When Tsunade didn't know how to stop Hanyu's next mission, her only choice was to take the initiative to participate.
But for Hanyu, this seemed to be just another burden in the mission.
What made Hanyu depressed was that Tsunade suddenly came along without any prior warning, and the reason for this action was incomprehensible to him... Could it be that she just happened to happen during those few days?
Tsunade didn't even leave any detailed instructions. She just told Konoha's gatekeeper ninja that she was going to go on a mission with Hanyu, and she didn't care whether the other party could pass this message to the Third Hokage, and then she left the village very decisively.
This kind of "unauthorized action" would undoubtedly be a very serious fault if it happened to an ordinary ninja, and the village would even directly regard it as a treasonous act.
After all, the ninja village is an extremely strict militarized organization.
However, this kind of "strictness" does not apply to Tsunade. Even if the Third Hokage could know that Tsunade had left Konoha in the shortest time, so what? At most, he would just sigh and say that girls cannot be kept when they grow up.
Although Hanyu could feel Tsunade's uneasiness, he didn't understand where this uneasiness came from. After all, he was just going to carry out an ordinary mission... Could there be any danger?
The possibility of encountering danger is certainly not much higher than being struck by lightning.
Hanyu really didn't plan to do anything in this operation. At most... he would just investigate the traces of Zetsu's activities. After all, he had encountered White Zetsu when he was on the trip to Whirlpool Country with Uzumaki Mito several years ago.
Therefore, Hanyu felt that it would be best for him to confirm the frequency of White Zetsu's activities at this stage, so as to judge their grasp of intelligence on the entire world, and speculate whether this group of things would trigger some events in the ninja world in advance.
Theoretically, this kind of behavior is not a dangerous act. In this regard, Hanyu just intends to do it as he pleases. If he finds something along the way, that would be the best. If he doesn't find anything, it doesn't matter. Anyway, it will take a long time before Zetsu really becomes active. Hanyu is not stupid. He has no intention of rushing into the lair of the elderly Uchiha Madara.
Even though Uchiha Madara is already very weak at this stage, because he was badly beaten up by the First Hokage, normally Madara's condition could never be compared to Uzumaki Mito's current condition, and he might even be so weak that he could be easily strangled to death.
But old beasts are the most dangerous, and Hanyu is not naive enough to think he can just pick up a head.
Moreover, Hanyu's luck has been pretty good recently. It's impossible for him to be so unlucky that he would run into Uchiha Madara by chance, right? That would be too unlucky. However, what Hanyu didn't know was that maybe his judgment of "good luck" was just an illusion.
Who can tell the coincidences and anomalies in reality? A girl's premonition is always something mysterious.
In any case, because Tsunade stayed by his side, Hanyu had to give up some of his "extra plans" at this time.
Uchiha Madara...
Although he was in Konoha, Hanyu actually had very little contact with the Uchiha clan, even less than that with the Hyuga clan. Therefore, the great Uchiha was like a background board that could not be ignored to him... Although it could not be ignored, it was just a background board. There was no special intersection between this clan and him, Hanyu.
As for Uchiha Madara, the Uchiha clan leader who rebelled against Konoha, his power is unquestionable, but in Hanyu's impression, he is actually a person with insufficient IQ.
Even though the first Hokage was a little dull, he often appeared "wise but foolish"; more importantly, he had a smart brother. However, what about Uchiha Madara? Hanyu felt that he was not smart, not because he was deceived by Black Zetsu and became a pawn in his hands. After all, the disadvantage in intelligence was not his fault.
If something that has existed since the beginning of the world wants to plot against a person, what can he do to avoid it?
Hanyu just thinks that this person is becoming more and more chuunibana as he gets older. Ninety percent of his domineering aura is chuunibana. Shouldn't chuunibana disappear completely after the age of twenty... When they were alive, Uchiha never beat the Senju, and Madara never beat Hashirama, but after his resurrection, he claims to be the best in the world?
If someone said to Hanyu, "I am willing to call you the strongest," he would immediately retort, "I, Hanyu, am willing to call myself your dad."
Just look at it and you'll feel instantly relieved.
However, the most he could do was to respond. He knew that he couldn't afford to offend someone in terms of strength.
…
Tsunade did not respond to Hanyu's question, she remained silent, and the two of them continued to move forward quietly... Perhaps now she has realized that her behavior was a little inappropriate.
Why would he anxiously follow Hanyu out? This is so strange, is it just because of an inexplicable feeling?
However, the feeling in her body has now disappeared, even disappeared without a trace, so that Tsunade can only suspect that it was just an illusion...so in contrast, her behavior is even more absurd.
Why are you so flustered? Stay calm, girl.
After walking in silence for a while, the two came to the end of the path. If they went any further, they would step off a cliff several dozen meters high.
At this point, Tsunade had finally completed her psychological construction. Her method of getting out of her palpitations was extremely simple, which was called - break the jar and throw it away.
Anyway, we are already out, there is no point in regretting it now. Just like what Hanyu just said, just regard this trip as just to explore the customs and cultures of the neighboring countries.
Thinking of this, Tsunade began to relax.
After all, there was only Hanyu by her side, and no one else.
Standing on the edge of the cliff , she gazed into the distance at the lush jungle below. The rich green connected with the azure sky in the distance, and the world seemed to exist only in this small space.
And there were only Tsunade and Hanyu in this small space.
The broad vision and fresh air blowing in the face, this scene will make people feel relieved, so Tsunade couldn't help but straighten her back, open her arms and stretch.
"What are you looking at?"
Soon, Tsunade noticed Hanyu's gaze and she immediately stood up again.
Hanyu touched the tip of his nose with a slightly awkward touch, but pretended nothing had happened... Well, he couldn't say that the scenery here was better.
Seeing Hanyu avoiding, Tsunade looked at him with a different look, and the meaning of that look, translated as follows -
"I am considered well-developed among middle school students, Hanyu-kun"
Unfortunately, Hanyu did not understand the deeper meaning , and the level of tacit understanding between the two of them is still not that high.
"Well, let me explain the mission. Our first stop is to go to the Kingdom of Rivers. Just in case, we still need to hide our identities... Well, I'm your cousin and you're my cousin. We're both magicians from a circus called Renhell. My name is Orima and your name is Niyao...
Not good? Well, I can be called Niyao and you can be called Orima, that should be fine."
Is this a change of subject?
Tsunade shook her head at first and then again at Hanyu's suggestion. She instinctively felt that there was something wrong with Hanyu's words, so she immediately said, "Then it's better for me to be called Aorima."
Hanyu: "..."
Her senses are a little too sharp. How did she detect this tiny trap that no one on Earth knows about?
"Forget it, I withdraw my proposal."
Look, she won.
After all, Hanyu is just a very introverted person. He is extremely cautious about many things that concern himself - as long as he hasn't thought it through, he will just talk nonsense at most.
Or to put it more simply, he would stop simply because of many concerns and would not dare to take even one more step forward.
In other words…
This man is a coward.
