Konoha: I have a gravity training room

Otherwise, if you keep worrying about this and that, you will probably get depression soon.

After Xia Mu pulled Tiantian back to the house to be intimate for a while, he immediately packed up his equipment and then flew away with a Flying Thunder God move.

While no one knew, Danzo, who had not appeared for a long time, suddenly came to the Hokage's office. His already very old face looked even more gloomy.

"Tsunade, I heard that you want to add someone to Team 7." Danzo went straight to the point.

"Danzo, what are you planning?" Tsunade narrowed her eyes and stared at the old man.

"Don't be so hostile. I'm doing this for the village, but my methods are a bit shady. But my dark methods have contributed greatly to Konoha Village's current state. If you don't believe me, ask Hiruzen."

Ask a dead person?

Are you seriously ill, Danzo?

"So what you call it for the village is secretly sending people to snatch Kakuzu's body, and also sending people to dig up Hidan's body parts. Are you going to do anything to avoid death?" Tsunade sneered at him.

"Of course!"

Danzo didn't feel anything was wrong at all.

In his opinion, as long as he survives, he will become Hokage in the future and will surely lead Konoha Village to glory. So he does this for the village, is there anything wrong with that?

So, Tsunade shouldn't have told him about this kind of thing. Danzo is selfish to the core, and it's impossible to reason with him!

Tsunade scowled, "What on earth do you want to do!"

Danzo said: "I have someone here, just let him join Team 7."

Tsunade's face darkened: "You have cooperated with Orochimaru before, so now you send people to join, do you want to get something from Orochimaru? I tell you Danzo, this is impossible!"

Danzo was very confident: "You will agree!"

Tsunade was very firm: "I won't agree! I am the Hokage, don't try to tell me what to do!"

However, this time Danzo did not get angry, nor did he yell at Tsunade to regret it. Instead, he was calm, as if everything was under control, which made Tsunade feel that something was wrong.

Sure enough, the next second, two old men, Mitomon En and Utane Koharu, pushed the door open and walked in.

As soon as he came in, he said, "Tsunade, let's just do as Danzo wants this time. It's just adding one more person to Team 7, what's the big deal?"

Tsunade was angry, it’s you two old guys!

At such an old age, why don’t you go home and hug your grandchildren? Why do you have to get involved?

And as expected, these two old men must have received benefits from Danzo, otherwise why would they suddenly speak for Danzo!

Tsunade's face looked grim, and she wanted to smash the three old guys to death with one punch, but she understood that the three old guys were deeply rooted in Konoha Village, and once they started making trouble, the village would not be able to be peaceful.

She thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible to add one more person, but I want Shizune to be the director of Konoha Hospital, and I want Shikamaru to be the advisor to the Hokage's office!"

"You! Tsunade! You're taking advantage of me!"

Utane Koharu and Mitomon En were furious and obviously unable to hold back.

After all, Utatane Koharu, due to her expertise in medical ninjutsu, had been in charge of the Konoha Medical Department. Konoha Hospital was a crucial component of the department, and the director was a trusted confidant of Utatane Koharu, representing a significant portion of her power. As for Mitokado En, he oversaw Konoha's political affairs, and many of his advisors were also his people, so naturally, he held a firm grip on power.

·· ·Request flowers· ····

Now Tsunade is taking the opportunity to push people in, just to divide their power. How can the power-hungry Erlao Deng tolerate this?

Tsunade laughed sarcastically, "Aren't you the ones taking advantage of the situation? Defeat Orochimaru is a matter of life and death for Konoha. That old man Danzo is obviously after something in Orochimaru's hand. You two are leaning towards Orochimaru now that you've gained something. You're just dreaming of using your seniority to coerce me!"

Danzo was about to explode. Tsunade, this little girl, actually called him an old man to his face.

..... .... 0

He has no idea how to respect elders. This is how Hiruzen teaches his disciples!

Utane Koharu and Mitokado En almost had a heart attack. They didn't expect Tsunade to be so tough, which made them very uncomfortable.

What Tsunade meant was simply that they should either give up some power or stop interfering in other people's affairs. It was obvious that Tsunade had long been dissatisfied with their meddling.

In the past, some unimportant things were just let go.

But this time the crusade against Orochimaru is of great importance, and the three old men actually want to get involved, so we can't just give them a good face!

Tsunade crossed her arms and watched the three old guys' changing expressions calmly. In the end, she actually endured it. Moreover, Danzo kept winking at her two teammates, obviously asking them to agree.

Finally, Utane Koharu and Mitokado En gritted their teeth and said, "Okay! Let Shizune be the director of Konoha Hospital, and let Shikamaru be the office staff officer, okay?"

"Yes, of course."

Tsunade smiled, "Tell me, Danzo, who do you want to assign to Team 7?"

Tsunade could more or less guess what the three old guys were planning.

It was simply that Danzo's research on immortality hadn't progressed, and he was desperate to obtain some important data or item from Orochimaru, hence his impatience. Furthermore, Danzo must have made another promise to Utatane Koharu and Mitokado En, likely related to immortality, and the two old men agreed.

After all, who among the F3 who is obsessed with power would want to die of old age?

The temptation of immortality is too great!

Danzo smiled and said, "It's the former genius of the Root, Sai."

Chapter 221 Sai (asking for flowers)

"Sai? Who is it?"

When Sasuke and Sakura received the news, they tried hard to recall, but neither of them had any recollection.

Kakashi said, "Well, I don't know him either. Anyway, it was arranged by Lady Tsunade. There's no need to delve into it. We just need to get along well with each other. He's just temporarily replacing Naruto, and he might only participate in this mission to subjugate Orochimaru."

He naturally knew the root.

But the roots have apparently been disbanded, so there is no need to mention it further.

Of course, he also knows the darkness of the Root, so he just needs to be more careful when the time comes and not let Sai betray everyone.

At this time, a handsome guy with pale skin, short black hair and squinty eyes walked over. This guy looked young, but he liked to wear belly-exposing clothes and had a short knife on his back, so it was hard to tell how strong he was.

"Hello, my name is Sai." Sai, the "Five Seven Zero," greeted with a smile.

The three of them looked over when they heard the sound, and their first thought was, this guy's smile looks so fake!

Kakashi spoke first: "Now that you're here, let's get to know each other. I'm Hatake Kakashi, the teacher in charge of Team 7. I hope you can get along well with everyone."

Sasuke played it cool as always: "Uchiha Sasuke."

Sai heard this and then opened his eyes, gazing at Sasuke: "So you are Sasuke-kun, I've heard a lot about you."

Having said that, his mind recalled the situation at the root before.

Danzo: "I will assign you to Team 7. When the time comes, you will follow the subjugation team to Orochimaru's base. If necessary, you can act alone. If you get what I want, you will complete the mission."

Sai: "Yes, Danzo-sama."

Danzo: "You must be careful of Uchiha Sasuke from Team 7. The Uchiha are an evil clan, you must not take them lightly!"

Sai: "Uchiha, Sasuke?"

Danzo: "By the way, you still need a name. Since I asked you to be on guard against Sasuke, I'll call you Sai. Remember, be on guard against Uchiha and get what I want. Understand?"

Sai: "Yes, Danzo-sama."

"Hey! What are you daydreaming about? And you're staring at Sasuke-kun!"

Seeing this guy looking at Sasuke and ignoring her, Sakura immediately became dissatisfied, "My name is Haruno Sakura. Although we may not get along well, please give me your guidance!"

Sai finally came back to his senses and looked at Sakura, but his eyes narrowed in the end: "That's true, ugly girl."

Ugly, ugly girl?!

You said I was ugly?!

Sakura froze, her defenses breaking down immediately. "You're looking for a fight, aren't you? I'll beat the crap out of you!"

Kakashi quickly stopped her: "Sakura, calm down. He'll be your partner from now on, so don't create conflicts! Sai too, don't be so direct with your words. You won't be able to make friends like that!"

Sai actually started to think after hearing this: "So, I know Kakashi-sensei looks like he has kidney deficiency, but I can't say it out loud. That would be very unemotional and would make Kakashi-sensei dislike him, right? But Kakashi-sensei's kidney deficiency is real, so why can't I say it out loud? Well, getting along with people is really troublesome!"

Kakashi's brows were furrowed with veins. He suspected that this guy did it on purpose, but he had no evidence.

He keeps saying he has kidney deficiency. Kakashi just likes Liu Bei, when did he have kidney deficiency? Isn't this nonsense?

However, Kakashi was obviously well-mannered, and he also smiled with narrowed eyes and said, "Young man, you have a sharp tongue, but you look pale, without a trace of blood. This is a sign of kidney deficiency."

In short, the new Class 7's first interaction was not pleasant.

Natsuki only found out about this after receiving Tenten's note. He didn't expect that the old thief Danzo would send Sai out so quickly. It seems that Orochimaru has something the old thief wants!

But Xia Mu didn't care. As long as it didn't cheat anyone, Sai could take whatever he wanted.

Of course, if Xia Mu found out that it was something bad, he would not allow Sai to take it back to the old thief.

That old thief Danzo will die sooner or later!

Two days later, the expedition officially set out.

This operation was confidential. Unless someone deliberately leaked it, no one else would know about it. Furthermore, they set out early in the morning, without alerting any of the villagers.

Along the way, the five classes traveled at lightning speed.

The five squads now constituted Konoha's elite forces. Even Sakura, the weakest, was considered superior compared to the other Chunins, and no one was left behind. Furthermore, with Neji and Hinata, two Byakugans, in the expedition, as well as Kiba and Shino, their reconnaissance was flawless, and they had no fear of encountering any problems along the way.

That night, the expeditionary force arrived at the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Field.

Kakashi used earth escape to build a closed stone house, and everyone dared to light lanterns inside the stone house, prepare food and rest well.

After dinner, Kakashi called everyone together for a meeting.

"There are twenty people in our five squads, and we're too big a target to be spotted. Orochimaru is a very dangerous and perceptive person. If he senses something's wrong, he might set a trap or just run away. Either way, we don't want to see it happen. Therefore, when we enter the Land of Rice tomorrow, the five squads will split up and infiltrate from different directions.

Remember to avoid villages and towns, and especially avoid Orochimaru's strongholds. Do not be discovered, otherwise the expedition may be in vain.

Before dark tomorrow, we must arrive at this place and meet up with Xia Mu, understand?"

"understand!"

Everyone answered in a low voice, but they were all a little excited.

After all, defeating an S-rank rebel ninja is no small task. Not only can you show off your skills, but you can also accumulate experience. If you succeed, you will also receive generous rewards. What's more worth mentioning is that you can brag about it in the future. In short, there are too many benefits.

Anyway, everyone is ready to go and some can't sleep.

Kakashi couldn't help but laugh and scold: "Why are you guys so excited? We have to travel tomorrow, so get some rest!"

No one spoke, but they were certainly not sleepy.

Kurama Yakumo was the most excited. Before 1.4, she had been controlled by a demon, which had kept her from being free, much less from becoming a ninja. Now that the demon had been eliminated, she was free again, and could directly become a ninja, even joining the campaign against the S-rank rebel ninjas. Naturally, she couldn't stay calm.

Xiaohui took her hand and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, Yakumo. You are very strong. Just perform normally when the time comes. My safety depends on you when the time comes."

Kurama Yakumo repeatedly assured: "Don't worry, Xiaohui, I will protect you!"

Lun Ye hurriedly said, "Xiao Hui, I'm also very capable. I learned a lot from Qingye brother, and even the boss praised me. I will be able to protect you tomorrow, protect both of you!"

He is a man, so naturally he has to protect the girls in the team.

Xiaohui and Kurama Yakumo looked at each other and said with a smile, "Then I'll leave it to Renya."

Chapter 222 The Battle Begins (asking for monthly tickets)

Unlike the harmonious Aoba class, the atmosphere in Kakashi's class is a bit subtle.

Sai's squinty eyes and sharp tongue prevented him from fitting in well in the class. In addition, Sakura became very irritable when being called ugly, and Sasuke was always aloof, so naturally they couldn't get along well.

Kakashi had a headache and couldn't help but complain about that old man Danzo in his heart.

Suddenly someone came in at this time, maybe there was some bad intention.

Ino, on the other hand, is somewhat interested in the handsome Sai.

She is obsessed with looks. Ever since she gave up on Sasuke, she hasn't seen any handsome guy she likes. Now that she has met one, she naturally wants to get to know him better.

Then, Sai followed the script in the book and called Ino "beautiful girl", which made Ino very happy.

Then, of course, there was a fight between Sakura and Ino. After all, Sakura was called ugly and Ino was beautiful, and Sakura naturally refused to accept it. However, the two dared not shout at each other, making the atmosphere in the closed stone house even more eerie.

On this side, Tenten was chatting with Xia Mu via Flying Thunder God, passing notes. Besides checking in on each other, the content was just messages between a couple in love.

Of course, the most important thing is the news about the 21 Six Paths Ninja Tools.

Before this, Natsuki had guessed that Tsunade would attack Orochimaru, and also guessed that Orochimaru would have information about Kinkaku and Ginkaku.
