Chapter 45
Somewhere in the hotel.
A sixteen or seventeen girl with blonde hair, opened the door and walked into the room, stroked her hair into a ponytail then touched her flat chest, and formed a hand seal with her hand.
Puff!
White smoke covered her.
Her ponytail changed into long hair draped behind her back, her originally flat chest suddenly increased in size, transforming from an energetic young girl into a mature beauty.
"Huh, finally escaped."
Tsunade fixed her hair and exhaled.
Shizune walked in after, staring at Tsunade's chest for a while, with a strange look in her eyes.
She knows that Tsunade uses this disguise to avoid those loan sharks, but what she can't figure out is how Tsunade can turn from being a flat chested teenager to this "big" beauty.
Tsunade sat down, glanced at Shizune, and said, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and close the door."
"Yes."
Shizune reacted and hurriedly closed the door.
Tsunade picked up the teapot on the table and poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip as she suddenly thought of something, and said to Shizune: "Who is that ninja you were talking to?"
"Oh, that was my classmate, Hatake Feng."
Shizune responded as she sat at the opposite side of the table.
Hearing Shizune, Tsunade was slightly surprised, and said: "So he's Hatake Feng. Hmm... He is indeed a bit like Senior Sakumo."
In the Second Ninja War, Hatake Sakumo was the commander-in-chief. At that time, the three Legendary Sannins were not even famous as the three of them are still in their younger days.
Speaking of which.
A trace of sadness flashed in Tsunade's eyes.
Back then, Sakumo had taken care of her several times, but she didn't expect that he would commit suicide just because he failed his mission. After hearing the news, she immediately went back to Konoha and paid respects to him.
As Sakumo's son, she also heard about Feng, but the one who left a deep impression on her was Kakashi. Graduating at the age of five and being promoted to Chunin at six. When she heard this, she was quite surprised and finally thought that Konoha's White Fang finally had a successor.
"Feng is also strong."
Shizune who was sitting in front of Tsunade said with a trace of admiration flashed in her eyes, and said: "In the previous Chunin exam, he eliminated all the opponents by himself, and he was also taken by Lord Orochimaru as his disciple."
"Oh?"
When Tsunade heard these words, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, and he said thoughtfully: "From what I know, his talents seem to be ordinary compared to Kakashi."
"It's because Feng doesn't want to attract attention."
Shizune smiled subconsciously, and said: "From what I heard, it seems that Kakashi has been trying to catch up with him, but has never won."
Tsunade glanced at Shizune and suddenly said: "Do you like him?"
"Ah? Huh?!"
Shizune's expression became unnatural in an instant as she said in a flustered manner: "Why, why do you ask..."
"It's pretty obvious."
Tsunade placed her hands on the table with her fingers crossed, and said domineeringly: "If you like him, then go and pursue him. So what if he's Orochimaru's disciple? you're also my, Tsunade's disciple!"
"No, it's not like that..."
"What's wrong? Are you still planning to keep lying to me? But I'm a little curious, what kind of capital does that kid have that prevent you from pursuing him. Is it because he was accepted as Orochimaru's disciple?"
Tsunade stroked her chin as Feng's figure earlier flashed in her thoughts.
...
Feng didn't know that their quick encounter earlier was enough for him to attract Tsunade's attention. If he did, he would just laugh heartily because this would make it easier for him to be close to her in the future.
The next day, the group set out again.
After crossing several small towns, the group finally came to the junction of the Land of Fire and the Land of Grass. The clear dividing line between the two countries is a river.
"After we crossed the river, the Hidden Grass Village should be just ahead."
Daisuke Urobe looked at the surging river and said as his expression relaxed a little, since they didn't encounter any accidents up to here, the path ahead should also be safe.
Feng stopped and looked at the river for a few seconds, then turned to look at a stone bridge not far from them and said, "We still haven't reached the end of the mission, let's continue."
"Ok."
Daisuke Urobe nodded and followed Feng.
The group came to the stone bridge. Feng walked in the forefront while Might Dai walked at the very back of the team. The nine people quickly crossed the stone bridge without any accident.
However, after crossing, Feng showed an indifferent gaze as he looked at the bushes not far away, and slowly said, "You're not even gonna try to hide yourself properly for an ambush?"
Feng's words made Daisuke Urobe and the others' complexions suddenly change.
Might Dai was also surprised as he immediately jumped to Feng's side.
"Because there's no need."
A soft voice came from the direction of the bushes.
Immediately after.
Ten people walked out of the bushes, each of them wearing forehead protectors from Hidden Rock Village while holding different types of weapons, kunais, shurikens, and swords.
"How can ninjas of Hidden Rock Village..."
Seeing this, Daisuke Urobe's face changed drastically. He turned his head and looked at the several people behind him with fury.
There's only one answer as to how ninjas from Hidden Rock Village knew that they would arrive and set up an ambush here.
There's a traitor in this team!
"Damn it, who is it?!"
Daisuke Urobe took out a dagger and looked at the people in his team. The others are also enraged as they looked at each other looking for the culprit.
Feng ignored their commotion and calmly said: "It's already meaningless to find the traitor at this time. He definitely won't reveal his identity... and it seems that you have concealed some important information. This is definitely beyond the scope of a C-rank mission."
"..."
Daisuke Urobe's face was ugly.
He looked around them and was surrounded by the ninjas of Hidden Rock Village, his heart turned gloomy. The other side was a group of Hidden Rock Village experts along with the traitor from his team, but their side only has the two ninjas from Hidden Leaf.
The situation looked impossible to be dealt with!
Their only hope is that the other party's task is not to kill them, but to capture them alive and imprison them. That is their only chance for survival.
Daisuke Urobe gritted his teeth and looked at the Rock ninja and said, "What is your mission? Is it to kill us? We can pay you twice as much!"
"Our task is... to capture him alive." The Jonin leading them flashed a trace of contempt as he pointed at the young man behind Daisuke Urobe
"As for the rest of you, we can only send you to hell."
Only third-rate ninjas would be willing to exchange their mission for money. As ninjas from HIdden Rock VIllage and one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, they would never do something that would damage their reputation.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The moment the Jonin leader's voice fell.
Three Rock Village ninjas immediately rushed towards Feng, and another three towards Might Dai with strong killing intent.
"..."
Daisuke Urobe's face paled at the sight of this.
Although the enemies don't intend to kill their young master, once all of them died here, their young master would be brought back and imprisoned, making the situation impossible to be reversed and the title of Daimyo will definitely be taken by that person.
It was unexpected that there would still be a traitor among the Daimyo's closest confidants. This blunder would cause them their fate.
