Konoha: This ninja is suspicious by nature

Chapter 149 Quitting Alcohol Today
In the early morning, the smell of alcohol lingered in the Hokage's office, and the air under the sunlight was quite intoxicating.

"Master Tsunade!"

Gang Zitie and Shenyue Izumo ran in in a hurry, smelled the aroma of wine in the room, and saw Tsunade with a swollen face and confused eyes. They looked panicked for a while, peeping at each other, covering their faces and turning their heads. What to do.

"Why are you two so confused?"

Tsunade straightened his body, and lightly glanced at Xin Shin who was still sleeping soundly under the desk, and winked at Tonko who was also under the desk.

"Sasuke ran away!" Gangziti exclaimed.

"I met Haruno Sakura while delivering documents this morning. She said that Sasuke left the village last night and we came here to report." Izumo said softly.

"What! Is there such a thing?" Tsunade stood up, with a look of shock as much as paying attention to her reaction when she explained it to her last night.

She sighed and said immediately: "Call Shikamaru from the Nara family, right away!"

The two hurriedly went to summon someone, and Shikamaru, who was still eating breakfast, rushed over without stopping.

Originally, he wanted to take a few more bites, but his parents pushed him out of the door. At the end, they also told him: "This is your first mission as a chuunin, so you must perform well."

"It's so troublesome." Shikamaru complained and walked into the Hokage's office. The office was in a mess, with books flipped everywhere on the table and bookshelves, and a strong smell of alcohol wafting around.

"Shikamaru, you are the only ninja who was promoted to chunin in the last chunin exam. I have a task for you."

Tsunade walked to the desk and said seriously.

"Sasuke and Orochimaru's group are escaping to the border between the Land of Fire and the Sound Ninja Village. With you as the captain, we will form a mission team to recover Sasuke."

Shikamaru didn't know why, "Wait a minute, Sasuke rebelled against the village? And I'm only a chuunin, why am I the captain?"

Tsunade explained patiently: "It's too early to say it's a traitor to the village, let's chase him back first. As for the captain, the mature ninjas are all doing missions outside now, and I can't send a Jōnin composition here." Team, you need to find reliable helpers on your own."

"Is this okay?" Shikamaru felt a little worried. He didn't know any reliable helpers.

"This is an order!" Tsunade said seriously.

"Wait." Shikamaru said again, "Watch out for any missions outside, I want to find him together."

Tsunade's expression became a little unnatural, and her eyes subconsciously hid at her feet. Shikamaru noticed something unusual and looked under the desk. After a while, there was a "beep" sound, and the pink dolphin showed its cute smile.

"Ahem. He also has his own mission. Go quickly and hurry up!"

Tsunade urged, and until Shikamaru left, she said to Todo: "Wake up Note."

Shikamaru hurriedly ran out of the Hokage Building, looking for his helper, thought of paying attention at once, but unfortunately he was not free, but if he was free, it would not be his turn to perform this task, Shikamaru thought so.

At this time, he had already selected the manpower in his mind. The closest place was Naruto's home. He immediately rushed over and picked up Naruto who was still sleeping. The two met up with Choji again, and then found Tooth, the four of them went to find the last helper together.

Neji accompanies Xiao Li for a walk on the pedestrian bridge. Xiao Li's operation time has been scheduled for tomorrow. Neji wants to spend more time with Xiao Li so that he can relax physically and mentally.While the two were talking, Shikamaru and his party hurried over, and he said, "Neji has a mission that needs you very much."

"Sasuke left the village with Orochimaru's people, we have to chase him back." Naruto said with a determined look.

"Our team will be stronger if you join Neji." Ya said carelessly, and Akamaru said yes with a bark.

Choji was eating potato chips, looking like he was just going to listen to Shikamaru.

Ning Ci readily agreed, and everyone bid farewell to Xiao Li and wished him a smooth operation. Xiao Li also smiled and wished them to recover Sasuke as soon as possible. He also felt quite guilty for not being able to contribute his strength due to injury.

Shikamaru's team was assembled. Everyone stood at the gate of Konoha and listened to Shikamaru's tactics. Everyone expressed regret that Zhenzhen could not join the team. Shikamaru originally wanted to find Shino, but unfortunately he followed his father and went out to do the mission. .

These people are the best helpers he can find. After laying out his tactics, Shikamaru said:

"Although my relationship with Sasuke is average, he is a member of Konoha after all. Since he is a companion, he must be prepared to sacrifice his life for this mission. However, I am your captain and I will ensure your safety."

Everyone was impressed when they heard these words. Shikamaru was indeed the first person to become a chuunin. This realization was quite remarkable.

Then Kiba acted as the vanguard, using Akamaru's sense of smell to lead the way. Shikamaru, Naruto, Chouji, and Neji followed in that order, lining up in formation, heading towards the northern border of the Land of Fire.

Watching everyone leave the gate of Konoha, Sakura at the door watched quietly with tears in her eyes. She originally wanted to step forward and ask Naruto to do his best to bring Sasuke back, but she restrained the urge to do so when she remembered what he was paying attention to.

"Naruto's love for Sasuke's companionship can't be less than his own. My doing this will only bring a greater burden on his heart, but I really want to do something."

Sakura talked to herself and sobbed silently. With her strength, joining the team would only become a burden to them. Even if she stepped forward to express her determination to recover Sasuke, it would only make people feel pitiful.

Xin Xin's consciousness is dizzy, he feels that he is being packed in a container, his hands and feet have no place to stretch out, and there seems to be a sticky tongue licking his face, he thinks of himself in the office last night with Gang When I drink wine, I can’t remember the next thing.

"Tsunade-sama! No! I'm still a child!" Hexin sat up in shock.

Found out it was a dolphin.
Tonto's surprised expression froze, and Tsunade also looked confused, "Why are you yelling so loudly?"

Hexin got out from under the desk and looked around blankly, "Why am I here?"

Tsunade opened the windows, and the wind that came through made Zhanzhen feel a lot more refreshed, but her breath still had a strong smell of alcohol, which made him feel careless.

From today, quit drinking!
"I sent Shikamaru as the captain, and it seems that Naruto, Neji, Choji, and Kiba formed a team to recover Sasuke."

Tsunade already knew the members of Shikamaru's team from the guard.

"Didn't you just let Sasuke go like this last night? Why did you send someone to chase him?"

He carefully touched the dolphin and fiddled with his hair.

"It's best if you can chase him back. If you can't, just take it for granted. After all, he is a Konoha ninja and we have to care about him. And if Naruto doesn't do anything, he will probably be very disappointed."
