Naruto: By lying low and hiding, he eventually became the leader of the Legendary Sannin.

This is actually one of Konoha's methods of protecting these talented individuals.

However, after a little thought, Kagura still offered his opinion.

Looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi at the head of the table, he spoke:

"I hope we can increase our attention to Hanzo the Salamander from Amegakure."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing Kagura's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi was slightly taken aback.

In reality, the various countries do not know much about this leader of Amegakure.

After all, in the original work, Hanzo's title of "demigod" only began to circulate after the Second Shinobi World War.

At this time, his strength and abilities were unknown to everyone.

Seeing the questioning looks from everyone, Kagura decided not to hide anything and told them everything she knew.

"As far as I know, the leader of Amegakure has a salamander venom sac inside his body."

Even in his daily life, his breath was highly toxic.

Furthermore, he also has a salamander spirit beast that can release deadly poison.

Therefore, I suggest that my companions in the Land of Rain should take precautions in advance.

At the same time, some medical ninjas skilled in detoxification can be sent to the front lines, which can more effectively avoid the possibility of being poisoned.

Upon hearing Kagura's suggestion, Hiruzen Sarutobi also fell into deep thought.

A moment later, he looked at the two advisors beside him, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu.

Seeing that the two nodded at him, he spoke:

“Your suggestion is very helpful, and we will try to take effective preventative measures against this situation.”

Although he didn't know where Kagura learned about Hanzo's abilities, based on his understanding of Kagura, he believed the information to be true.

Thanks to Tsunade and Kagura's active participation, the Jonin present also broke their previous silence and began to offer their suggestions one after another.

Although many of the suggestions seemed far-fetched to Kagura, there were also quite a few practical ideas among them.

For the Konoha leadership and Jonin, apart from a very few war fanatics, most people hoped to end the war as soon as possible.

Compared to the high-ranking officials who sit in the village all day, these Jonin who have returned from the front lines obviously have more practical and effective ideas.

The meeting then proceeded in this atmosphere of discussion.

Two hours later, the meeting finally came to a close amidst the murmurs of the crowd.

Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his hand, ending the meeting.

Just as everyone began to leave, he looked at Kagura and said:

"Kagura, wait a moment."

I have a task for you.

Although Tsunade was somewhat worried, she eventually left the scene, as she still had her own mission to complete.

After everyone had left, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Kagura, who was left alone, and slowly said:

“You did a great job last night. That Jonin from Kumogakure also revealed a lot of information that is very useful to us.”

Upon hearing this, Kagura couldn't help but silently mourn for the poor Jonin for a minute.

It seems that the Konoha interrogation team is indeed as good as its reputation. In just one night, they were able to pry out a lot of secrets from that Jonin.

It's important to know that anyone who becomes a Jonin is a person with a strong will.

But even a Jonin couldn't withstand those guys for more than a few hours.

Kagura could already imagine the kind of torture that person had suffered.

In fact, if Kagura used Kotoamatsukami, she could easily get the information she wanted from that person.

After all, the fully evolved Kotoamatsukami is now the most powerful torture tool.

However, on the one hand, the cooldown time of Kotoamatsukami is currently a bit long.

On the other hand, Kagura is also consciously reducing the use of her Mangekyou Sharingan.

At least until he can confirm that he won't experience the side effect of blindness or achieve an advanced level, he still needs to take precautions against the worst-case scenario.

However, what Hiruzen Sarutobi said next surprised Kagura as well.

Chapter 27: Two-Tailed Jinchūriki

Hiruzen Sarutobi's mission for Kagura was actually quite simple: he wanted Kagura to go to another front line—the Land of Fields.

Geographically speaking, Konoha Village is actually in a very bad situation.

Because it is located in the very center of five countries.

In peacetime, such a location would naturally be extremely advantageous.

After all, location and transportation are important factors in a country's development.

However, such a position would be somewhat unfavorable during wartime.

Due to its location, Konoha is actually facing a situation where it is at war with two sides.

On one side is the battlefield of the Land of Rain, where Sunagakure and Iwagakure are fighting.

On the other side was the battlefield where the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Cloud Village were fighting.

Unlike the battlegrounds on the other side, which are concentrated in the Land of Rain, the battlegrounds on the other side are more scattered, generally surrounding the Land of Rice Fields.

The Land of Rice Fields does not have its own ninja village; it is the same country that Orochimaru later established as the Hidden Sound Village in the original story.

In reality, the border between these three countries should be the Land of Iron, but since the Land of Iron has always maintained neutrality, and this country also has powerful samurai as its guardians.

Therefore, the battlefield here will generally avoid the Land of Iron.

According to the Jonin from Kumogakure whom Kagura captured last night, the reason they infiltrated Konoha this time was to capture the legendary surviving member of the Uzumaki clan.

Clearly, this war has once again made the Third Raikage consider becoming a Jinchūriki.

The Uzumaki clan is clearly the best candidate to become a Jinchūriki.

Upon hearing the news that the Konoha leadership had brought back a girl from the Uzumaki clan to inherit the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, the Raikage was clearly unable to sit still.

However, there were other reasons why Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted Kagura to go to that battlefield.

Looking at his disciple, Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes flashed with a hint of satisfaction.

It is no exaggeration to say that Kagura is currently the strongest member of the Uchiha clan in Konoha.

That is precisely why he was able to entrust him with various important tasks.

After briefly explaining the purpose of the Jonin's infiltration, he spoke again:

"Moreover, we finally learned something from him."

The Third Raikage seems to want to put Jinchuriki into the battlefield to test their role in war.

And now, they have already sent the Two-Tails Jinchuriki to the front lines.

Upon hearing this, Kagura instantly understood Hiruzen Sarutobi's intention in sending her there.

Everyone knows that the Mangekyou Sharingan has the ability to control tailed beasts.

In a battlefield where the beast could go berserk at any moment and unleash its tailed beast, someone like me is the last line of defense for the Leaf Village ninja.

His mission to go to the front lines was undoubtedly to find the Two-Tails Jinchuriki and launch an attack against him.

Kagura, who understood Hiruzen Sarutobi's thoughts, didn't say much, but simply nodded silently.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who didn't consider himself a demon who exploited his employees, gave a rare smile and patted Kagura on the shoulder, saying:

"No rush, rest today and set off tomorrow."

Kagura, however, showed no gratitude upon hearing this and left with a deadpan expression.

Ha, even if you didn't say anything, I wouldn't be leaving right now.

In my previous life on Earth, we had two days off every week, or at least one day off.

Now that I've traveled through time, I swear I'll never be a beast of burden again.

With time to spare, Kagura went home, cooked herself lunch, and then went straight to Konoha Hospital.

By this time, Tsunade had already finished her work, changed into clean clothes, and was waiting at the door.

The two smiled at each other, and Kagura handed her a rice ball.

Tsunade naturally took the rice ball and ate it in small bites.

At this moment, the two acted like a couple who had been together for many years, and everything seemed so natural.

Linking arms with Kagura, the two headed towards the Konoha Academy.

Today is the day Tsunade's younger brother, Nawaki, graduates from the Ninja Academy, and they are on their way to celebrate with him.

Arriving at the familiar school gate, Kagura couldn't help but feel nostalgic.

It feels like I graduated just last month.

Compared to the celebratory atmosphere of previous years, this year, due to the war, the school didn't make any special preparations; instead, a faint sense of melancholy permeated the air.

Many parents looked at their children with a mixture of joy and worry.

After all, graduating from here means they are getting closer to the day they go to the battlefield.

In such a war, even genin (lower-ranking ninja) are required to go to the battlefield.

Tsunade and Kagura didn't spend much time before they spotted Nawaki on the playground.

At that moment, Jiraiya was standing right next to him.

As longtime companions, Jiraiya naturally came to celebrate Nawaki's graduation.

However, at this moment, he was holding a book with a mysterious expression, talking to Nawaki as if he were constantly trying to sell it.

As the two drew closer, they finally heard Jiraiya's voice.
