Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 30 Kakashi: I really want to improve!

"If you refuse to cooperate, I will have no choice but to capture you and take you to Konoha, and then negotiate with Kirigakure."

Jiraiya squatted down and said.

Kisame remained silent.

He dared not bear the consequences of "cooperation".

Jiraiya no longer held back and tied him up completely with rope, while also knocking Kisame Hoshigaki unconscious.

The other two were just enough to put them to sleep.

Oh, one of them may never wake up.

"Red, no need to save her. Tie up the living ones and take them with you."

"Yes."

Kurenai Yuhi stood up and then glanced at Kyohiko.

In reality, even if she wanted to help, she was powerless to do so. She was merely studying this situation to accumulate treatment experience.

The injured ninja was at least fourteen or fifteen years old, probably a Chunin from Kirigakure.

In the face of danger, Jingyan instantly appeared and sent the person attacking her flying with a single punch.

result.

It was just a simple punch.

This person's heart was almost shattered by the shock, and he is likely suffering from massive internal bleeding.

She was unable to cure him.

What incredible power!

Has he fully mastered Lady Tsunade's superhuman strength?

Kurenai secretly observed Kyohiko, a hint of envy and admiration flashing through her mind.

Previously, Kyohiko hadn't been able to master it, but now he can use it freely without getting hurt...

What an alarming rate of progress!

Two or three months ago, she would have thought it was a natural talent.

But now.

She had a different opinion.

Behind their rapid progress, Kyohiko and Kakashi also put in unimaginable effort.

He must have been practicing day and night for the past few days.

"Lord Jiraiya, is it over?"

"Yes, Mr. Matsuyama, we can continue our journey to Kado."

"Okay, okay, thank you. If it weren't for you... and your three subordinates, I would definitely be in trouble this time."

Matsuyama Ichiro was overjoyed.

At the same time, his eyes revealed a deep hatred.

"That despicable Kado! We, the Matsuyama family, have been doing business with him honestly, yet he tries to devour us! I will make him pay the price!"

Then, Matsuyama Ichiro's eyes revealed hatred.

"Mr. Jiraiya, could you please grant me another request?"

"If it's about killing Kado..."

Jiraiya hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. "I may not be able to give you an answer right away."

Why?

Matsuyama Ichiro was puzzled.

Jiraiya explains.

"According to you, Gato is now a relatively important force in the Land of Waves, and the situation there is complicated. My every move may send unusual signals to the outside world."

"Sigh! I understand. Let's go. We need to finish this deal first."

Matsuyama Ichiro sighed.

We headed northeast.

Kakashi finally woke up near the street.

He opened his eyes, still dazed, but immediately became alert after seeing his surroundings.

Did he faint?

Then--

and many more?

Kakashi's face turned pale, and he immediately jumped off the toad's back.

He saw the two people who were tied up and bound to the back of the carriage.

Hidden Mist Ninja?

It seems I've missed something very important!

Jiraiya sensed Kakashi waking up and immediately slowed down, moving from the front to the middle.

"Jiraiya, your subordinates have woken up. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

"OK, thanks."

Jiraiya politely thanked him.

The Iron-Armed Toad nodded slightly and then disappeared from the spot.

Kakashi immediately bowed.

"I'm so sorry, teacher. I fainted at the crucial moment of the mission. I'm not worthy of being a ninja!"

Both his eyes and his tone revealed that what he said truly reflected his thoughts.

Jiraiya was helpless.

This child's thinking is really too extreme!

Mission first?

This isn't a very important task.

His gaze swept across the room, and an idea formed in his mind. He immediately said seriously, "Kakashi, you shouldn't apologize to me, but to your teammates, because they are the ones who need you the most."

Kakashi looked back at Kyohiko and Kurenai.

He immediately understood what Jiraiya meant.

For Jiraiya, his strength was insignificant; those who needed him most were Kyohiko and Kurenai, but he wasn't there when the battle took place.

of course.

The events did not unfold as dangerously as Kakashi had imagined.

Although Kurenai was almost attacked at close range, Jiraiya had actually been watching the battle between Kyohiko and Kurenai the whole time, and the Iron-Armed Toad was also nearby.

If they encounter real danger, Iron-Armed Toad will definitely step in to protect them.

After Jiraiya finished speaking, he went back to the front.

Kakashi retreated to the back.

Upon meeting, before he could even speak, Kurenai said gently, "Kakashi, it's good that you're alright. Next time, please don't train until you pass out, okay?"

He looked at Kyohiko and Yuhi Kurenai, his mask trembling several times, but he didn't know what to say.

Kakashi considered many possibilities.

such as--

Jingyan would make sarcastic remarks, saying that he had not followed the rules and had not contributed to the mission.

Some might call him a piece of trash.

Sunset Red...

Although he has a gentle personality, he might not be nice to him, since he is the one who has caused trouble.

but.

Kyohiko didn't say anything, and Yuhi Kurenai comforted him gently, not seeing him as a burden or a hindrance.

Kakashi was stunned.

"But I couldn't help."

"You don't need to feel sorry. We all have flaws and shortcomings, which is why we need to help and rely on each other, forming a team. Besides, the mission isn't that important; as long as we ensure safety, it's fine."

Jingyan has a youthful appearance, but speaks with a mature tone.

But then...

He then changed the subject: "But you really should apologize."

"what?"

The setting sun casts a hazy red glow.

She thought Jingyan would comfort her, but then he changed the subject, and it seemed that wasn't the case.

Kakashi was a little confused and didn't understand what Kyohiko was trying to say.

"As a ninja, you should be responsible for your teammates and comrades. I understood this principle when I first graduated. You knew you had a mission today, yet you trained all night yesterday? Even if you didn't faint, how well could you have performed? In the end, you might even harm your teammates."

Jingyan said earnestly.

"I'm sorry, I was too eager to master this technique. I promise I won't do it again next time!"

Kakashi made a serious statement.

In the past day or two, he has been eager to catch up with Kyohiko.

Although Kyohiko said he had been practicing similar techniques, Kakashi knew very well that Kyohiko did not have such advanced chakra techniques before.

Even if there were, it would all begin with practicing water escape techniques.

At most, about a month.

Within a month, Jingyan made rapid progress.

What about him?

Almost no progress!

Kakashi clearly recognized this, as well as his own inadequacy, which is why he so desperately craved to become stronger.

however.

This is indeed irrational.

Whether for missions or partners

Kakashi felt incredibly guilty.

Jingyan stood to the side, secretly pleased.

Although the process and circumstances differed, the result seemed to have met expectations.
