"That's right," Tsunade nodded proudly, "When they fight side by side and rely on each other, feelings will naturally arise."
"Of course it's no problem," Ai patted his chest boldly, "thunder Village will definitely fully cooperate."
"The Land of Water will also send elite troops to assist," Terume mei smiled gently,
and Kakashi silently nodded in support.
"The elite of the Tudun tribe are already on the way," Onoki said suddenly, pretending
to be asleep and listening to the whole process.
"Then I'll arrange for Sai to set off first," Tsunade took a sip of tea, "It is expected to set off in three days, and the road map has been drawn up."
"We will be there on time," Chojuro said on behalf of the three guards, "This operation
will definitely be successful." "
Kuroto secretly glanced at Darui and found that he had already started writing down
his plan of action on his notepad.
"That's it," Tsunade announced with satisfaction, "I hope this action will make the two
children understand their feelings." "
Three days later, in the Hokage room, "Sai," Tsunade looked at the young man in front
of him with a solemn expression, "There was a rebellious ninja attack on the northern border, and the specific situation is not yet clear."
"Understood," Sai nodded respectfully, "I will go and summon the members of the Anbu."
"This time the situation may be more complicated," Tsunade handed him a map, "in addition to collecting intelligence, it is also necessary to protect the safety of local villagers."
"I will do their best." Sai took the map and carefully examined the route."
"Remember," Tsunade advised, "in case of danger, retreat first and report back." We will have support to arrive later."
"Obey," Sai bowed and exited the office.
Looking at his departing back, Tsunade smiled with satisfaction at the corner of his mouth. She took out a document that had been prepared for a long time, detailing the various ambush points and possible situations.
"The plan has begun," she muttered, "I hope this time it will be fulfilled."
Two days later, Tsunade summoned Shikamaru, Choji, and Ino, a long-lost trio of Inoka
butterflies.
"It's been a long time," Tsunade looked at the three people in front of him affectionately, "What have you been busy with lately?" "
"Report to the Hokage, I am in charge of diplomatic tasks with the foreign villages," Shikamaru habitually touched the back of his head.
"I occasionally go to Karui's kumegakure Konoha Medical Branch to help," Choji replied, chewing on potato chips.
"I cultivate new varieties in the florist," Ino says gently.
"I called you here today because I have a more important task," Tsunade cut directly to the topic.
The three of them immediately entered a state of preparation, and Shikamaru frowned
and thought: "What kind of task is it?"
"Rescue mission," Tsunade opened the map and pointed to a location, "Two days ago,
Sai led a team to this area to investigate the rebellious ninja activities." But now I have lost
contact with him."
"That means you want to find Captain Sai?" Ino keenly captures key information.
"That's right," Tsunade nodded, "You are the group that is most familiar with the terrain, and this mission is none other than you."
"Wrap it up on me!" Ding Ji patted his chest.
Shikamaru looked at the location marked on the map thoughtfully, and did not speak,
but he already had a guess in his heart.
"This operation is captained by Shikamaru," Tsunade said solemnly, looking meaningfully at him.
Shikamaru instantly understood and blinked calmly. He was well aware of his relationship with Temari and knew about Choji and Karui. Then the rest of the well...
"Understood," Shikamaru nodded slightly, "We will do our best to complete the task."
Ino noticed the tacit understanding between the two, and his heart couldn't help but
quicken. Is this the surprise that Tsunade-sensei said?
"I've already given you a specific plan of action," Tsunade continued, "remember to cooperate."
"Don't worry," Ding Ci said with a smile, "We are the strongest pig and deer butterfly combination."
Shikamaru secretly noted down every detail, especially those locations where they might "meet by chance."
Shikamaru pondered the known information: Sai led the team to investigate the traitor, lost contact, and then the rescue mission of the trio. Coupled with the current intelligence ambush in various villages...
"This is simply the perfect stage for encounters," he thought to himself, still maintaining a calm expression on the surface.
Ino noticed the tacit communication between his companions and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"When are we leaving?" Shikamaru changed the subject.
"Set off immediately," Tsunade ordered, "Be sure to bring Sai back safely, may you return safely."
