Hokage: Let Suffering Never Fly

Chapter 46 The Disappearing Rope Tree

The unusual cell activity allows the rope tree to recover from minor scratches within seconds.

As long as Zhishu is slow to notice, the injury will be healed...

This incomprehensible recovery speed reminded Sheng Shu of his deceased grandfather.

Although there is a lot of difference, there is no doubt that this special ability comes from his great grandfather.

Thinking that he had never shown this kind of talent in the past ten years or so, Naoshu attributed it to his poor physical condition.

It is only because of the recent crazy exercise that I have improved my physical fitness, which allows the genes hidden in my body to have room to play a role.

In the past, my body couldn't bear that kind of powerful active factor.

Shengshu looked up at the moon in the sky, "I am different now."

"I can, do more things."

Shengshu looked at the two people who were still on the ground, lifted them up one by one with each hand, stood up and left silently.

……

The next day, Gaia woke up in a daze, staring at the somewhat familiar ceiling for a moment.

Beside, there was also a Matt Dai lying on the side.

Isn't this Rope Tree's room?
All three of us were drunk yesterday, who brought us back?

Gaia tapped himself on the head, saying that the wine he brewed was not mixed with water...

By the way, what about rope trees?

Gaia got up and wanted to call Zhishu, but found a note about Zhishu left on the desk.

"It was the people from Anbu who sent us back last night. Also, the third generation wanted me for something, so don't look for it."

Gaia looked at the note in her hand, and stuffed it into the pages beside her, as if she had never seen it before.

What is the identity of the rope tree?Prince Konoha.

Since it was the third Hokage who was looking for him, and Nakoki had already said, don't go to him, it probably involves some kind of secret, so Gaia naturally wouldn't be ignorant to ask.

Gaia tried to use the transformation talent to give him the connection with his own special Chakra, and found that the perception of Chakra in Naoshu's body was quite vague.

Either the rope tree is in a special place now, blocking Gaia's perception, or the rope tree is already far away from him.

Come to think of it, Rope Tree should be in a very secret place in Konoha.

Gaia gave up thinking without thinking carefully.

After informing Dai who woke up about the rope tree, Gaia went to work as usual.

Maitedai ​​continued his training. Of course, the people in the village were very curious when they saw that Maitedai ​​was the only one. Some even asked him where the rope tree went.

Dai just gave a thumbs up and replied: "Rose Tree-kun has more important things to do! He will come back to train with me soon!"

Matt Day believed that Nao Shu really had more important things to do, so he missed training with him.

Of course...he wouldn't foolishly ask why the Third Hokage went looking for Natoki.

What is his identity? It may not be that the third generation doesn't know his name.

……

Matt Dai thought badly, the third generation not only knew his name now, but also wanted to reuse him very much.

It doesn't matter if you can't use ninjutsu, an elite jōnin, in some small battles, is enough to decide the outcome.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't figure out the origin of Matt Dai, who was always unremarkable.

Could it be that the other party, like Kosuke Maruyoshi, learned that secret technique after receiving advice from the second Hokage and even the first Hokage...

Moreover, because of the fact that Naoki and Matt Dai practiced together, he even suspected that the other party was a powerful back-up man left in Konoha by the Senju family.

Therefore, he never summoned Matedai, nor assigned any tasks to him, just to let Matedai ​​continue to train with the rope tree.

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a while and took out his crystal ball. He originally wanted to use the telescope technique to look at the rope tree, but found that he could no longer sense the chakra of the rope tree.

Ok?
Since this ninjutsu was invented, it is the second time that it has failed.

The first time was when Gaia participated in the assessment.The other party is proficient in medical skills, maybe it is because of the secret technique he has mastered to hide his chakra breath, so that he cannot find the other party.

Anyway, after that, Hiruzen Sarutobi never inspected Gaia through the telescope technique again.

Is it the same situation for Shengshu this time?
The rope tree has a good relationship with Gaia, and there is also the possibility that Gaia will teach him this secret technique.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi thought for a while, and ended his daily voyeurism.

Unfortunately, Sarutobi Hiruzen never thought of another possibility, that is... the rope tree is no longer within the detection range of the telescope technique.

……

A few days later, Gaia was still living his normal life, but because Nezuki was summoned by the Sandaime Hokage, he was afraid that someone would suddenly break into the house, so the experiment in the basement was also suspended.

Sometimes he would think that it would be nice if he could live such a life in his next life.

Unfortunately, this is destined to be just a dream.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was the first to notice something was wrong, because he hadn't heard about Naruki from Anbu for several days.

This is not normal.

For more than half a year, no matter it rains or winds, Shengshu will practice with Matdai.

And now, the ANBU ninjas have not seen any sign of the rope tree for several days.

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a while and decided to ask Gaia and Metadai.

……

When Gaia came to Hokage's office after being notified by Anbu, it was also strange to see Matt Dai beside him.

Could it be that something happened to Shengshu?
Hiruzaru Sarutobi, who was at work, saw Gaia coming, put down the documents in his hand, first asked for a while, and then said that you two are the pillars of Konoha, work hard, and you will definitely make the will of fire great again in the future.

Gaia was fine, but Matt Dai was deeply encouraged. It seemed that this was the first time in his life that he received encouragement from Lord Hokage at such a close distance.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting better, Hiruzaru Sarutobi changed his voice, and began to ask Naoki how he was doing recently, why he hadn't seen him running upside down around Konoha for several days.

Gaia and Mattai glanced at each other first, what do you mean?Are people not with you?Why are you still asking about us?
Gaia will think a little more. For example, the fact that the third generation summoned the tree is very confidential, and the tree should not disclose it to them.

"Huh? What's wrong with Natoki recently?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi frowned on the expressions of the two of them.

The two looked at each other again, and it was Gaia who finally said: "Master III, Nakoki left a note a few days ago, saying that it was... you summoned him and asked us not to inquire about him."

Hearing this news, Hiruzaru Sarutobi's expression darkened instantly.

He probably knew why he couldn't find the rope tree through the telescope technique.

It's not like he has mastered the same method of hiding his chakra as Gaia.

Rather...he is not in Konoha at all!

boom!
Sarutobi Hiruzen slammed the table, causing Gaia and Matt Day to startle.

"Inform Kosuke Maruboshi to come over!" Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke in a low voice and ordered his subordinates to notify Kosuke Maruboshi.

It's over, the boss is angry.

To let such a heavyweight come over...
