Konoha's Master of Illusion

Chapter 74 The mission to recover Sasuke
"Ningji, I don't have much truth to tell you." After hearing Neci's words as if he was surrendering to his fate, Tetsuya could only say: "To a certain extent, I also believe that everyone has a fixed destiny. of."

Tetsuya wasn't lying, he really thought so.

This world is like a mighty river flowing forward, and people are just like countless water molecules in it, not even a fish.At least fish can swim back, but people can't go back in time even for a minute.

"Sometimes I think that a person will die after only a few decades of life. So does what I do have any meaning? Instead of working hard and forging ahead, it is better to just drift along and drift with the tide. In the end, I will end up in the coffin. Bones, what’s the difference?”

Neji was a little confused. He didn't know what the other party's purpose was in talking about these things.

Persuade yourself?Isn't this adding insult to injury?
"Don't look at me like this." Zheye said helplessly: "I'm telling you what's in my heart. It's not about the will of fire, nor is it about anyone still caring about you. I'm just telling you what I think."

"Continuing on from what I just said, I could have chosen to be an ordinary ninja and live my life. If the sky falls, there will be a tall man to hold it up. What does it have to do with me?"

"It's just that these days are so boring."

"People can't accept a boring life. Then I realized that I should do something that makes me happy."

“So I just started working hard and it was that simple.”

"You are happy to beat me?"

Neji didn't know if he understood what Tetsuya wanted to express, so he asked.

"To be honest, I'm quite happy, because everyone will say that Tetsuya Yamanaka is a stronger genius than Hyuga Neji. This is a kind of happiness."

"Is this the kind of happiness you're after?"

"Otherwise?"

Ningci had nothing to say. He pondered for a long time and suddenly said:

"Okay, it's enough for you to tell Uncle Rizu that I'm fine. Please come back."

Since he was going to see off the guests, Tetsuya was naturally eager to leave as soon as possible. He had already racked his brains to chat with this guy just now. If he continued to talk, he would be at a loss for words and didn't know what to say.

Face to face with Ningci, one asked you have you eaten?One said he had eaten, one said the weather was really nice today, and one said yes.
I can't imagine that kind of scene.

Walking to a corner and fork in the road, Zhe was also stopped:
"Why are you here? Just right, I want to challenge you!"

When I looked back, I saw it was Hanabi.

Seeing her serious expression and inexplicable hostility, Tetsuya felt quite helpless in his heart. It's nothing to be challenged, but Hanabi's strength is far worse than Neji's. Given his age, he really doesn't want to make a move.

"Hanabi, Tetsuya-kun is a guest!"

Later, Hinata appeared with Xiang Lian, and she was a little nervous to persuade her sister, but Xiang Lian next to her just watched the fun and said nothing.

"Why challenge me?"

Seeing that the little girl just pretended not to hear her sister's persuasion, Tetsuya had no choice but to ask.

"I heard that you defeated Brother Neji, and I also want to see how strong the person who can defeat him is!"

Hanabi said stubbornly, she believed that the person in front of her would definitely agree.As for the reason for the challenge, Tetsuya's defeat of Neji was naturally one of them. As the future hope of the Hyuga clan and destined to become the head of the branch family, she really wanted to see how strong this man named Yamanaka Tetsuya was.

It is normal for ninjas from the same village to challenge each other. Gai always fights with Kakashi every time they meet. A friendly discussion is enough.

With this thought, Zheye was ready to agree.

At this time, Rizu suddenly appeared and interrupted the battle that was about to begin:

"Hanabi, don't be rude!"

Hizu was accompanied by an acquaintance, Yamashiro Aoba, whom he had met several times.

He didn't wait for Rizu to continue teaching his daughter, and spoke directly:
"Tetsuya, the Godaime is looking for you. The situation is urgent!"

Is it urgent?
When Tetsuya heard this word, he had already made some guesses. At the moment, he didn't even bother to say hello to Hinata Hinashi and left with Yamashiro Aoba.

In the Hokage's office, Tsunade was comforting Sakura who looked sad.

"Don't worry, you go back first, I will immediately arrange manpower to recover Sasuke!"

"Thank you, Tsunade-sama."

After sending Sakura away, Tsunade frowned and rubbed her temples with a headache.

The current situation in Konoha is almost the same as before, except that most of the ninja are away from the village on missions. This time it is because of the recruitment and placement of root members, and many people are not free to do this.

Compared to chasing Sasuke back, Tsunade naturally has to think more about dealing with the root problem.

So, after much thought, I decided to leave this task to Tetsuya.

Not long after, the newly recruited disciple came to the front.

"Tetsuya, Uchiha Sasuke left the village last night. There are no more manpower available in the village for this matter, so I can only leave it to you."

Tsunade started talking directly:
"Choose a few helpers yourself and do your best."

"Yes!"

"Well, in addition, there are traces of Orochimaru in this matter, so be careful. If it doesn't work, you can give up the mission."

With a final warning, Tsunade signaled that he could go get ready.

Currently, most of her energy is focused on root matters. Even the Third Generation himself cannot guarantee whether Danzo will suddenly counterattack.And even if the Third Generation could tell her categorically that Danzo would not rebel, Tsunade would not be able to relax her vigilance even a little bit, which would probably harm herself.

Leaving the Hokage's office, Tetsuya thought about it carefully and already had a list in his mind.

First of all, Naruto, of course, even if Tetsu didn't go to him, that guy would definitely not just sit in the village and wait for news after being asked for help by Sakura.As for the eighth class, Zhi Nai went out to the village with his father to do a mission. Maybe Hinata and Xianglin can choose one to bring, but he still prefers to choose Xianglin. A roll of the eyes is more appropriate.

Xiao Li is probably a suitable candidate. I wonder if he will be in the village.

The tenth class was all on a mission and not in the village.

Overall, it's enough for four people.

The four people originally sent by Orochimaru to rescue Sasuke had been destroyed in the Konoha collapse plan. Orochimaru, who was eager to escape, was not in the mood to rescue the four cannon fodder who maintained the Four Purple Flame Formation.As a result, there is only one enemy left that can be determined, and that is Kaguya Kimimaro, the guy who took out his spine as a toy to play with.

This fierce guy should be his main opponent this time.

Half an hour later, Tetsuya saw Naruto waiting at the entrance of the village early.

Naruto, who is Sasuke's companion, couldn't be more active in the matter of recovering Sasuke. When he got the news, he rushed over in a hurry, even before Tetsuya.

Soon, Hinata arrived with Karin.

Originally, Tetsuya's plan was to bring only either Kaoru or Hinata, but they obviously had nothing to do, and after hearing the news, they firmly expressed their intention to join.And not only these two girls, Neji and Xiao Li also came here together.

Neji, who was wearing a forehead protector, just said:
"I just want to find something meaningful to do. Staying at home is really boring."

Of course Tetsuya would have no objection.

Sakura also came over, crying and begging Naruto to take Sasuke back to Konoha.Facing the request of the girl he liked, although Naruto had mixed feelings in his heart, he still smiled and patted his chest generously and promised:

"I will definitely bring Sasuke back! Doing what I say is my way of ninja!"

As a result, the expected four-person team became six people.

Rescuing the companions who have gone astray, everyone has a lot of motivation for this matter, so he can't refuse such enthusiasm, and immediately began to arrange:
"As the captain of this mission, I will assign positions to everyone."

"I, Xiang Lu, am responsible for leading the way from the front."

"Hinata, Naruto in the middle."

"Ningji, Xiao Li, you are in charge of the rear."

"Any comments?"

Everyone nodded, so Zheye immediately announced his departure.

The six people left the village and followed the traces left by Sasuke and Orochimaru into the jungle. Tetsuya, who had the strongest overall strength, explored the path in front, followed closely behind, using his wide range of perception capabilities to detect possible ambush.

In the middle, Hinata and Naruto also cooperated with each other. Naruto was responsible for protection, and Hinata opened her white eyes to detect the situation on both sides.

In the end, Xiao Li and Ning Ci also had the same logic.

This arrangement is considered stable.

No enemies were found along the way, but there were many traps to block and delay the pursuers. It had only been about ten hours since Sasuke left the village at midnight yesterday. If Sasuke still faked his death and was put in a big wooden barrel, he would be It is an inevitable result that Tetsuya and others catch up.

Using a chakra scalpel to cut off the imperceptible steel wire in front of his eyes, Tetsuya signaled that he could continue moving forward.

"There's someone in front of me! What a terrifying chakra! It's very chaotic! It's very powerful!"

Xianglin suddenly showed surprise.

"Where is the other person's appearance? Can you see it?"

The girl closed her eyes and squatted on the ground, pressing her fingers against her temples, trying hard to see clearly the appearance of the enemy in the distance.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes:

"I think I saw that guy named Orochimaru!"
