Gou in the ninja world

Chapter 32 Descendants of the Legend

"Da Nayan?"

After turning to bed, Xiaochun's expression changed.

She is no stranger to this title. This is the Taizheng official under the daimyo of the Fire Nation, who is responsible for important matters such as the daimyo's government affairs and etiquette. Although the importance is not as high as that of the left and right ministers, it basically belongs to the top of the entire Fire Nation First level, her status in the country is no lower than that of her Huoying consultant.

Why did such a high-level person from the Land of Fire suddenly visit Muye Village without any warning?

Moreover, Hiruza Sarutobi said that he had been prepared for a long time, coupled with the arrival of the high-ranking officials of the Fire Nation, there seems to be some connection...

Turning to bed Xiaochun frowned, and after a while, her face changed slightly, as if she suddenly thought of something.

"Could it be that……"

She murmured with some understanding, and turned her gaze to the door.

If she remembers correctly, the current Da Nayan should have just taken office half a year ago, and he seems to be an old acquaintance.

"The third Hokage-sama, advisor Xiaoharu, long time no see."

Sure enough, as soon as that person opened his mouth, Xiaochun immediately recognized the other person's voice, this tone, this tone, even after more than ten years, she has not forgotten it.

Just as I thought, the other party was indeed the familiar person.

"It was you."

Turning to the bed, Xiaochun suddenly realized, nodded and said, after knowing the identity of the other party, she probably understood what Sarutobi Hiruzen's plan was.

She glanced over Hiruzaru Sarutobi's shoulder and looked out of the door, and what imprinted in her eyes was a tall and strong old man over fifty years old, wearing a black robe and a tall hat with the imprint of fire on his head , two weather-beaten eyes were deep and bright, and a few snow-white hairs came out from the gaps in the hat, like silver headbands, sticking to his wrinkled face.

Judging from his appearance, he is not young anymore, but he looks very good mentally, with a flushed face, a loud voice, and a vigorous walk, not worse than a young man at all.

"Haha, it's been a long time." Hiruzaru Sarutobi replied with a smile, then turned sideways to make way, and said, "I must be tired from the long journey, please take a seat quickly."

As he said that, he nodded again to Bingzu Leitong who came in with the old man, and ordered.

"It's the same, the work outside will trouble you."

"Yes."

They all echoed in unison, quietly left the room and closed the door outside, leaving room for the three elderly people inside.

The three greeted each other a few words and sat down in their rooms.

"I haven't been back for a long time, and I feel that everything is still very kind."

The old man sat down on the chair in the house, turned his head and looked around, looked at the scenery outside the window and the decoration inside the house, and sighed deeply, with a look of nostalgia on his wrinkled face.

"Indeed, the last time we met was at the end of the Ninja World War."

Turning to bed Xiaochun also said with deep emotion that with the passage of time, old friends from the past died, walked away, and not many were still alive. A sense of nostalgia arose involuntarily.

"Yeah..." The old man murmured with emotion, and after staring at the photos of Hokage from past generations on the wall for a long time, he sighed, and his tone contained a thousand words.

After a few seconds of silence, he took a deep breath, retracted his gaze from the wall, and turned his attention back to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Then..." He straightened his face, and the previous nostalgic and nostalgic expression was immediately swept away, and in a blink of an eye, his face was already full of seriousness.

"Is there something important in rushing someone to notify me this time?"

He asked seriously, as soon as this sentence was uttered, it meant that the previous stage of reminiscing about the old days had ended and the topic began.

"I've heard that something extraordinary happened in the village. If assistance is needed, I can fully support the construction of the village on behalf of the Fire Nation."

In the past two days, the news of an unknown explosion in Konoha Village has spread throughout the ninja world. Naturally, it is impossible for the Kingdom of Fire to know everything. What about the preparatory funds for construction?

"No, that's not the case." Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head. Although Konoha Village was indeed partially damaged in the explosion a few days ago, because the battle took place in a remote forest, most of the The damage from the explosion was borne by the forest, and the damage suffered by the village was not large, at most it was just a few houses that were destroyed by the earthquake, so this was not the reason for him to ask the other party to come over.

"Oh?" The old man showed a puzzled expression. Since it's not for the village, then what is it for?
"Actually, I invited you here not because of the political affairs of the village and the Fire Nation, nor because of funding issues, but because of some personal reasons." Having said that, Hiruzaru Sarutobi paused and organized language, and then continued: "I hope you can help us get Tsunade back."

"Tsunade?"

Hearing this name, the old man's eyes flickered quickly, and he looked a little surprised. He imagined many possibilities, but he didn't expect such a request.

"Yes." Hiruzaru Sarutobi nodded and explained: "In the past few days, we have discovered that there is a dangerous evil force in the ninja world, and we probably know that they are planning something terrible. In order to prevent it in advance Various situations that may arise, I hope to integrate all the manpower that can be assembled as much as possible.”

"In other words, the current Konoha needs Tsunade's strength."

He looked at the old man opposite, and said word by word.

"I see."

The old man listened to his statement quietly, nodding his head from time to time, expressing his agreement with his reasons.

If it is really according to what Sarutobi Hiruzen said, to gather people to guard against the conspiracy of evil forces, then as one of the Sannin, Tsunade is indeed an important role that cannot be ignored.

"But..." He opened his mouth, showing embarrassment: "The third generation, you should know that it is not easy to persuade Tsunade to come back."

He said.

The reason why Tsunade left Konoha Village to go out is very simple, because Konoha Village is a place full of sadness for her.

In the previous Ninja World Wars, Tsunade lost several relatives who were very important to him one after another, grandpa Senju Hashirama, second grandfather Senju Higama, younger brother Nawaki, and lover Dan.The pain of losing relatives and friends caused Tsunade to collapse for a while, and suffered from blood phobia, which is almost a nightmare for medical ninjas.

Such psychological damage can be said to have completely destroyed Tsunade at the time.

Since her relatives and lovers sacrificed to protect Muye Village, she even began to fear Muye Village, a place where her important people sacrificed their lives.She was afraid of Konoha Village, the name Hokage, and even the word ninja, so she chose to leave, wandering around in the ninja world, anesthetizing herself with gambling and alcohol, and immersed herself in this self-escaping world middle.

Tsunade's mental state is well known to many people, so they will also understand the difficulty of persuading Tsunade.Otherwise, during the war, no one would let a top combat force just wander around the ninja world casually.

"Of course I know."

As Tsunade's teacher and also the Hokage of Konoha Village, Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally understands the difficulty. He knows that Tsunade's problem is not just the sadness of the loss of relatives, but the deeper reason is because of her The exile of herself in the bottom of her heart is because she has given up on herself.

Tsunade's problem comes from her own heart. The reason for the problem of running away is not only because of the pain of losing relatives and friends, but the more fundamental factor is that she has lost the meaning of her own existence.

Of course, in this process, the death of Rope Tree and Broken was the biggest inducement. It was because of their death that Tsunade began to doubt himself.

There are probably two main factors.

On the one hand, as an elder sister, she should have protected her younger brother, but she failed to fulfill her elder sister's duty and failed to protect her younger brother, causing her younger brother Naoki to die unexpectedly.On the other hand, Tsunade, who is the most powerful medical ninja and also a lover, failed to save lives and heal the wounded, and watched her boyfriend die from serious injuries.

Whether as a relative, a lover or a comrade-in-arms, in Tsunade's eyes, she has not been able to protect and help others. If she can't even protect her own relatives and friends, how can she protect others? Woolen cloth?
This feeling of self-denial and doubt filled Tsunade's heart, and at the same time, it became a unique psychological disease, that is, hemophobia.

It is ridiculous for a ninja, especially a medical ninja, to suffer from blood phobia, a symptom that can almost destroy a ninja's career.But this is not the case for Tsunade, because this symptom represents the real situation in her heart. The so-called hemophobia is a kind of denial and evasion of her past in her heart.

This kind of evasion and fear is the root cause of why Tsunade ran away, and Sarutobi Hiruzen knew this very well.

So he also knows that if he wants to persuade Tsunade to come back, the first thing to do is to let Tsunade regain his confidence. As long as he can regain his confidence, his phobia will heal immediately without medicine.In the original book, Naruto was able to convince Tsunade because of this. He used his perseverance and will to never give up to break Tsunade's self-doubt caused by failure for a long time, and made her overcome the psychological pressure and regain her strength.

However, the current Naruto is just seven years old and has not yet reached the age of graduation, so his ability to protect himself is almost zero. In addition, there are so many people coveting Kyuubi from the outside world, so the degree of danger is very high.Moreover, the 7-year-old Naruto and the 13-year-old Naruto are not the same at all. Naruto who has not experienced some things is not as passionate and sunny as in the original book. Even if he meets Tsunade, it is impossible to arouse the two Resonance cannot achieve the goal, so it is naturally impossible to release him to Tsunade to release Zuidun.

So among the current Konoha ninjas, there are probably only two people who can confidently persuade Tsunade, one is Jiraiya, one of the Sannin, and the other is the current Naruto Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Jiraiya is also Tsunade's former companion, and one of the important people that Tsunade always pays attention to even though he doesn't talk about it. Hiruza Sarutobi is Tsunade's teacher. Persuade to come back.

However, Jiraiya is still outside the village, and it is not certain when he will come back.Hiruza Sarutobi is Hokage, so it is naturally impossible for him to put aside his government affairs and go out for more than a month. Therefore, he can only ask for help from the outside world, and the old man in front of him has become the best choice now. Hiruza Sarutobi believes that , with the relationship between him and Tsunade, he will definitely be able to complete this entrustment.

"It is precisely because of this that I specially asked someone to pick you up from the Temple of Fire."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked at the old man on the opposite side seriously, with a sincere and honest expression.

"After all, besides me, the only person who can convince her in the Land of Fire is you."

"Is that so..."

The old man was silent for a while when he heard the words. He sat quietly on the chair, as if he was thinking about something.

For a while, the house fell into a brief silence.

After waiting for about ten seconds, finally, the old man made a decision in his heart, he raised his head again, and nodded to the eyes of the two people in front of him.

"Well, since it's the village's request, I'll try my best."

"Thank you very much, Your Excellency Dainagyan."

Sarutobi Hizan hurriedly thanked him.

"You're welcome." The old man sighed deeply and stood up: "After all, this is also where I grew up."

As he spoke, he turned his gaze out of the window again, staring deeply at the picturesque Konoha Village under the sun.

"Although it's been so long since I've been away, deep down in my heart, I will always be Senju Masanari from Konoha Ninja Village."

He looked back at the two people in front of him and said firmly.
