Chapter 340 Bad News (Fourth Update, Please Vote for Me)

Today’s fourth update, please vote for me and I’ll see if I can update another chapter tonight!

--------

The sky was dim and slightly bright, and the sky outside could not be seen in the stronghold. However, Ye Zi and Yan Ye were too focused and did not realize that it was already slightly bright.

Time passed slowly, and another two hours passed.

Concentrating on making spells for too long will make the spirit feel exhausted. However, despite being tired, Ye Zi was still unwilling to stop. On the contrary, Yan Ye fell asleep without knowing it, leaning on his chin.

Ye Zi continued to make the spell for an hour before stopping. He maintained a high degree of concentration for a long time, and the sun stung slightly afterwards.

After gently rubbing the sun, he sealed all the relevant materials and finished products on the table into scrolls, then stood up and stretched.

Looking at the sleeping Yan Ye, Ye Zi sighed softly, walked over, carried Yan Ye to the bed, and covered her with a quilt. During the whole process, his movements were relatively gentle and did not wake Yan Ye up.

After covering himself with the quilt, the tired Ye Zi put on his clothes and fell directly on the bed. He closed his eyes and fell asleep soon after.

When he woke up, it was already evening, and he was woken up by Nagato's voice, which was news about the One-Tail Jinchuuriki.

--------------------------

The mission led by Sakumo to form a cooperative relationship with Suna Ninja ended in failure.

Tsunade led the remaining people back to Konoha Village, bringing not only some information but also bad news.

After returning to Konoha, Tsunade's first goal was the Hokage's office building. In addition to leaving Uchiha Ninzu behind, she wanted others to go back and rest first, including Shizune.

Tsunade and Uchiha Ninzu arrived at the Hokage's office building, went up the stairs, walked through the corridor, and came to the Hokage's office.

Pushing the door open, the person sitting inside was the Third Hokage. Because Minato and Jiraiya went to Mt. Myoboku to practice, he was the agent responsible for handling matters in the village during Minato's return.

Looking at Tsunade and Uchiha Renzu, Sarutobi looked solemn. He soon learned the news that Tsunade and others were back. Not to mention how Tsunade got together with the team, there were only a dozen or so people who came back. What happened in it, Sarutobi could only think about the worst.

Seeing Sarutobi's solemn expression, Tsunade was not surprised. She knew that Sarutobi must have received the news first. No matter who saw the large team sent out, only a dozen people came back, especially the one led by Sakumo. team, and then Sakumo himself did not return.

That was Konoha's famous White Fang. He was not seen. So, thinking of the worst outcome, Sarutobi was really unwilling to accept it.

"The mission...failed?" Sarutobi frowned slightly. Rather than questioning whether Tsunade would be with the team, he wanted to confirm the status of the mission.

Tsunade glanced at Uchiha Ninzu, who pursed his lips and said solemnly: "If you fail, everyone who didn't come back will die, including Captain Sakumo."

Hearing the expected bad news, Sarutobi slowly closed his eyes and couldn't help but sigh. More than twenty elites had died, and among them was Konoha White Fang...

"Tell me what's going on first." Opening his eyes, Sarutobi looked at Uchiha Ninzu solemnly, his eyes as heavy as a mountain, with a hint of sadness.

Uchiha Ninzu explained the entire process to the Third Hokage in detail.

As Uchiha Ninzu spoke, Sarutobi's expression changed back and forth many times. Especially when he heard that Ye Zi could really use the tree world to descend, he frowned deeply.

After listening, the image of Ye Zi directly appeared in his mind. Now, Ye Zi has become a person who has a deadly feud with Konoha, and has become so powerful. For a moment, his mood was particularly complicated.

"You go down and rest first, and give me a detailed battle report afterwards." Sarutobi asked Uchiha to step back, and then looked at Tsunade,

Facing Sarutobi's gaze, Tsunade knew what Sarutobi wanted to ask, so she directly replied: "It was just a coincidence."

After hearing this, Sarutobi sighed deeply and whispered, "I didn't expect that the situation would turn out like this."

Tsunade said in a deep voice: "What are you going to do?"

"It's a very important matter. I can't make the decision. I have to wait until Minato comes back to make a decision." Now, Sarutobi is just an agent. Due to the importance of this matter, he can't decide on his own.

"Minato and Jiraiya are also at Myoboku Mountain now, right? How should we notify them?" Tsunade frowned. Even if she didn't know the content of Jiraiya's training with Minato, she also knew that the training would not end that easily.

"Before Jiraiya left with Minato, he left behind Toad who was in charge of communications." Sarutobi gestured in a certain direction. The ANBU hiding there, after receiving the order, left the place directly and went to Toad's residence. The place.

After a while, the ANBU invited Toad, who was in charge of communications, over.

Sarutobi looked at the toad on the table and said, "Please Jiraiya and Minato come back here and say that we have something important to discuss."

The yellow toad opened its mouth and said with a smile: "Copy that."

After saying that, there was a bang, turned into white smoke and disappeared from the place, presumably arriving at Miaomu Mountain.

After the toad disappeared, Sarutobi fell into deep thought. He thought about all the things about Ye Zi in the past. Maybe when Iwa Ninja forced Konoha to hand over Ye Zi, he had a tougher attitude and would not let conservative people agree with Iwa Ninja. Requirement, in the end Ye Zi will not escape from Konoha because of this, let alone give Danzo the chance to join Gen by threatening Ye Zi with his life.

Not long after his thoughts began to arise, Sarutobi shook his head and threw these meaningless thoughts out of his mind.

It's useless to think so much now. Ye Zi is already an enemy. This is an unchangeable fact.

"Ye Zi did Duan's death." Tsunade's eyes fell on the sky outside the window and suddenly said: "I want to avenge Duan."

Sarutobi looked at Tsunade silently and said nothing.

----------------------------

Minato and Jiraiya hadn't returned to the village yet, so the news that the mission had failed came out first.

When they left, there were nearly ten teams, and everyone was an elite in the village. Many of them were elites in big families. However, today, only about ten people came back. Where are the rest?

When those who came back went back to their respective homes, someone would naturally ask them, thus confirming the failure of the mission.

The bad news spread, and the people in the village didn't know how they failed. However, those who didn't come back were basically certain to be dead, including Konoha White Fang.

Kakashi was at home, so he didn't know the news. When Obito and Lin heard the news, they were stunned. After hesitating for a while, they decided to tell Kakashi, so they came to Kakashi. Cassie's home.

"Do you really want to say it?" At this time, Obito became nervous.

"He must know this kind of thing. The sooner he knows, the better." Lin nodded heavily.

I don’t know what Kakashi will do after hearing this bad news, but the sooner he knows it, the sooner he can accept this fact. That's why the two of them came here.
