"A very far place?"
Hearing this information, Tsunade could not help but think that this person must not be from the Land of Fire, so she looked up and asked: "Big brother, what do you mean by a very, very far place?"
"It's just the literal meaning, a place that is very far away from here."
Ignis said calmly.
"Very far away?"
A trace of doubt appeared in Tsunade's eyes.
The man in front of her spoke in a very calm tone, and it was a tone that revealed 'very real'.
And did not seem to be made up at all.
And after very far, he added very distant?
The Land of Water?
Or else as she had guessed, the man in front of her did not belong to any of the Five Great Nations, and was a powerhouse from the other end of the sea?
But if that was the case.
What was the purpose of the other party coming to the Land of Fire?
Many doubts surfaced in Tsunade's heart.
Just as Tsunade was preparing to continue to question him.
Suddenly.
"Tsunade-sama?! Where are you?!"
A voice rang from a distance.
Tsunade heard this familiar voice of Shizune.
And looked up at the already late sky.
And thought 'bad', she had gambled too much again.
And noted down the appearance of the man in front of her in her heart.
Tsunade just casually found a reason and ran away.
Before long.
A young female ninja with short black hair, who was holding the pet Tonton in her arms, looked at Tsunade-sama in front of her with a worried expression.
"Tsunade-sama, negotiation activities with other villages can't be casually left to other documents, the premise for establishing good relations is that you need to attend in person."
Speaking of here, Shizune suddenly moved her nose, and leaned in front of Tsunade.
"Speaking of which, did you secretly run out this time and lose all the borrowed principal again?"
"Ara~"
Tsunade touched the back of her head, and said indifferently: "It's just money, as long as I borrow it again."
"Huh? Borrow from who? Tsunade-sama, don't forget, your name is already well-known in the local area."
Shizune scratched her hair.
"Unless others are suckers and idiots, it is impossible for them to lend you money again, right?"
Tsunade heard this, and curled her lips.
Immediately after.
She thought of the black-haired and black-eyed youth she had met just now.
"That's right, speaking of which, I just encountered something that needs attention, and this is more important than gambling now."
.....
Shizune was silent for a moment, and said with a suspicious expression: Tsunade-sama, are you sure that you are not deliberately changing the subject again?
And then taking the opportunity to sneak away and go to gamble again? Don't forget, you still have a lot of gambling debts...
"Cough cough~ don't worry, definitely not."
Tsunade coughed lightly, and a rare look of seriousness appeared on her face and said:
"That thing is that I need you to investigate a person."
"Investigate a person?"
"That's right, although it's a guy with an unknown identity that I encountered occasionally, but..."
Tsunade recalled the man who had made a deep impression with just one glance in her mind, and her tone sank.
"That person gives me a very powerful feeling, although maybe my intuition is wrong, but it is a very bad thing for that kind of guy to stay in the territory of the Land of Fire."
"Powerful?"
Shizune was stunned.
Being able to make Tsunade-sama, who was the Hokage, take the initiative to say the word 'powerful'.
There were not many people in the entire Five Great Nations, right?
Could it be.... a powerhouse comparable to the Kage level?
Shizune's heart sank.
At this time.
Tsunade's voice rang again.
"That's right, this matter only needs to send people to investigate slowly from a distance, because just now, three unlucky guys were killed by that person, it can be seen that the other party is very dangerous."
"What? Killed three people? With Tsunade-sama's strength, couldn't you stop it?"
Shizune heard this, and her face changed slightly.
Killing three people in front of Tsunade-sama.
That kind of difficulty was not something that ordinary people could do.
Even the various Kage of the Five Great Ninja Villages could not guarantee to kill three people directly in front of Tsunade-sama, right?
Shizune was thinking.
But she did not know that Tsunade was indeed a step slow in reacting.
And second, the three unlucky guys who were killed were the ninjas who were collecting debts from the 'Tsunade-sama' in front of her.
By the time Tsunade hesitated whether to expose her identity to stop it.
Ignis had already finished killing people.
Of course, Tsunade would not tell Shizune these things.
She only described the image of the black-haired and black-eyed man, and then told her that this was the target of the key investigation after letting Shizune draw it out.
However.
When Shizune saw the portrait for the first time.
She suddenly froze for a long time.
And then covered Shizune's face with the portrait, and asked with a hint of suspicion in her tone: "Tsunade-sama, such a 'handsome guy', are you sure that the other party is a powerhouse with an unknown origin, and not that you have other ideas?"
Tsunade: "..."
Looking at Shizune, who had taken off the portrait in front of her, and had already shed nosebleeds.
Black lines appeared on Tsunade's forehead.
What exactly was her Hokage secretary thinking about all day long?
Although she did not deny that the image of that black-haired and black-eyed youth was definitely the ideal type of 'face-con'.
Even she had not seen such a handsome man.
But what she was doing now was really for the Land of Fire!
After hurriedly urging Shizune to do her job, Tsunade also left the place.
And then turned around to seek the next 'fat sheep', and prepared to continue to gamble.
And at the same time.
Tsunade and Shizune did not know.
That the 'suspicious object' with an unknown origin that they wanted to investigate, Ignis was using spiritual pressure to see all of this clearly.
"Before Pain's attack?"
