Konoha: This ninja is suspicious by nature

Chapter 277
"Cold?" Xiao Li hiccupped, looked up at the sun overhead, thinking how could it be cold at noon?

Crocodile Xiaobao saw that Xiao Li was also covered in green, as if he had found the same kind. Immediately, a hungry tiger leaped over Zhenxin's shoulder, almost knocking Xiao Li off his back.

It felt like being electrocuted by ice. Xiao Li shivered all over and became energetic.

"Watch how you stand it."

Feeling the coldness that penetrated his body, Xiao Li couldn't bear to show his refusal, so he could only let the crocodile baby bite him while pretending to be very friendly.

Tiantian became more curious. She had to touch such a cute and magical crocodile. After taking a sneak peek, it really felt like touching ice cubes.

"Maybe you're used to it." He Xin explained, then he found a bench to sit on and shouted loudly, "Uncle Ichiraku, please have two large bowls of ramen."

"Can it still eat ramen?" Neji also asked curiously.

"Strictly speaking, it eats everything." He Xin replied.

After hearing this, Xiao Li felt cold sweat dripping from his forehead. Could it be that the crocodile was eating him?Otherwise, why would you keep chewing on your body?
"Oops!" Xiao Li yelled, "We have to practice after eating ramen. I almost forgot. Let's go quickly!"

Xiao Li's nervous look made Tiantian laugh, so the three of them left first. Faced with Crocodile Xiaobao's lingering thoughts, Xiao Li had to pretend to be helpless and had to leave.

"I haven't seen you for more than a month." Uncle Yile walked out with a large bowl in each hand. When he saw a small crocodile lying on the table, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"I've never seen a crocodile of this color before." Ichiraku laughed and put the ramen on the table.

"It's called Crocodile Xiaobao." He introduced it.

Crocodile Baby smelled the aroma of ramen and was eager to get into the bowl. He noticed that he hadn't eaten Ichiraku's ramen for a long time, so he immediately went on a killing spree.

“It was so delicious!”

Pay attention to clearing the big bowl of ramen three times, five times and two times, and don't forget to praise Uncle Ichiraku's craftsmanship. Little Crocodile is also so happy that he licks the bottom of the bowl clean.

"Thank you for the hospitality. We still have to go to the Hokage Building, so we'll leave first."

Hexin stood up and said hello, and after enjoying the permanent [-]% discount at Ichiraku Noodle House, he walked towards the Hokage Building.

Naruto Office.

In a small and dark corner of the wall, Dolphin stared at the enthusiastic and green crocodile baby in front of him with an embarrassed and aggrieved look, as if to say, don't come over!

Henzhen coughed and laughed in embarrassment when he saw this, and then picked up the little crocodile. Dou Dou was relieved and quickly got under Tsunade's desk with his short legs.

"Is this crocodile hungry?"

Shizune on the side asked with an awkward yet polite smile. "I just ate ramen, so I shouldn't be hungry." He Xin replied.

"Kakashi has already reported the details of the mission." Tsunade glanced at the shivering Dodo below and then looked at the crocodile on Hehe's shoulder, "What do you mean, crocodile? It seems to be very powerful, scaring Dodo. Like this?"

The crocodile baby looked innocent and spread his hands to show that he just wanted to make friends with him.

"I picked it up from an unknown ditch in the Land of Snow. It seemed to be quite clever, so I kept it as a pet." He Xin explained casually.

Tsunade did not continue to pay attention to Crocodile Little Treasure, but praised Heilong's performance in this mission, and then said: "The Sunagakure Village in the Country of Wind has made a request for us to send people over to express the position of Konoha Village."

He Xin knew that he had to leave again. Just as Neji said, he was rarely seen in Konoha Village nowadays. He had to head to the Kingdom of Wind without stopping before his butt was still hot.

"Have you chosen someone? Who else is going with me besides me?" He Xin asked.

"This trip represents Konoha's attitude towards Sunagakure. You, a rising star of Konoha who has gained a lot of fame, are fully qualified. However, at the request of those old guys, you have to bring their people with you." Tsunade also said bluntly. To be honest, he clearly distinguishes himself from Xiaochun, Yan, and Danzo.

"In addition to you, there is a root ninja." Tsunade pushed a roster on the table.

Looking carefully at the photo and name column on the cover, he recognized that the person traveling with him was the current Danzo's subordinate, the root ninja Sai.

"Only two people?"

I accidentally remembered that when Tsunade just talked about this mission last month, she looked like she was going to great lengths to consider the candidates. She thought they would send out such a strong lineup, but didn't expect only two people?

He also couldn't understand why Danzo and the others had to send one of their own. Everyone should have unanimously agreed on the decision to help Gaara succeed the Kazekage. Could it be that the drunkard's intention was not to drink, but to send someone just for surveillance? Own?Heed had to consider their intentions.

As for Danzo's behavior of looking for trouble for nothing, He Heng felt that it didn't matter, but he also felt a little wary in his heart. Who knew what kind of conspiracy Danzo would come up with, who didn't like others.

"To be precise, there are also Ino and Choji led by Shikamaru." Tsunade added, "According to their lurking in the Kingdom of Wind this month and the news they have returned, the forces currently blocking Gaara's succession include not only The senior officials of Sunagakure and the Daimyos of the Country of Wind."

Tsunade paused and said: "At present, there is no news that there are other competitors besides Gaara, but there is a lot of opposition to Gaara's succession. As an Inchūriki, he is an uncontrollable factor, and he I haven't proven that I have the qualities that a ninja village leader should have."

Listening to the words, he nodded. Tsunade's words were fair and objective. He also believed that an uncontrollable Jinchuuriki would be too much of a resistance to being the Kazekage. Moreover, Gaara's character was also a big problem. If he wanted to change Sunagakure, How the villagers view him still requires his own efforts.

Compared with the approval of the villagers, the decision of the senior management is the main factor. As long as the senior management agrees with the opinions of the villagers, it is just gossip.

The problem is that the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Wind do not agree with it, which makes it a bit difficult to handle. Naturally, the strong Ninja Village does not need to care about the opinions of the Daimyo, but the current situation in the Kingdom of Wind is somewhat unclear.

Originally, Konoha's support would not have much impact on the selection of Sunagakure Kazekage, but now it seems that it may actually have an effect. With the discord among Sunagakure's top brass and the checks and balances of the daimyo, it is no wonder that Maki would request the Konoha faction. People assist.

Tsunade Jianxin looked thoughtful, and comforted: "In the final analysis, this is an internal matter of Sagakure. We just need to express our attitude. No matter who is the new generation of Kazekage in the end, maintaining peace between the two ninja villages is the premise. .”
