Pamphlet Street is brightly lit at night, and there are more pedestrians on the street than during the day.
Uchiha Xia couldn't help thinking to himself, whether it was the blue planet in the previous life or the current ninja world, the proportion of nocturnal creatures is so huge.
If one wanted to find the owner of the Immortal Jade, it would probably be easier in the dark than in the daytime.
Walking through the bustling crowd, Uchiha Xia kept looking around, observing the expressions of the residents while looking for the fairy jade.
On the surface, there was no sign of panic, and the shops were open as they should be, and were not closed because of the imminent war.
But think about it, after all, they rely on business to support their families.
Even if the war has started, as long as ordinary people like them are not affected, daily work and life cannot be stopped.
The two continued to move forward, and after a while they came to the entrance of a tavern.
Uchiha Natsu stopped.
Oncoming were two familiar figures, they had just met two hours ago.
With Shizune's support, Tsunade opened the curtain step by step and walked out of the tavern.
At this time, Tsunade's face was blushing, and his body smelled strongly of alcohol. If it wasn't for Shizune's support, he would have been able to lie down on the spot and fall asleep in three seconds.
Uzuki Xiyan behind Uchiha Natsu also noticed these two people, his face became vigilant, and he took half a step forward.
Jing Yin glanced at the two of them, without any surprise, and nodded to them with a smile.
The two sides passed each other, Uchiha Natsu moved his left hand slightly, and stuffed a note into Shizune's pocket when the others were not paying attention.
It wasn't until the two of them left that Uzuki Xiyan relaxed a little and let go of the hand holding the samurai sword handle.
Uchiha Natsu smiled, turned to Uzuki Yuyan: "Let's go, let's have a drink, master and apprentice."
"I'm still underage, and we'd better give priority to the task." Uzuki Xiyan reminded lightly, with a serious look on business.
This task, of course, is to find the Immortal Jade.
Uchiha Xia said helplessly: "This is also part of the mission, let's go."
In addition to trying your luck to see if you can meet Shizune, you come to the tavern for another purpose.
This is the place where the flow of passengers is the greatest among all occasions, and what people talk about at the dinner table is also a good source of information.
He wanted to know what people thought of Penn's invasion.
After Uchiha Natsu finished speaking, she pulled Uzuki Yuyan's wrist, and walked inside regardless of whether she agreed or not.
Although the disciples are awkward, your teacher is still your teacher. Could it be possible that you can turn one of your disciples against the heavens?
Uzuki Xiyan struggled a bit, but Uchiha Natsu's strength was too great and he failed, so he followed behind with indifference written all over his face.
The tavern was very large, and all kinds of people gathered together. There was only a partition of about 1.5 meters between the tables to cut off the sight, and it could not block the sound at all.
Uchiha Xia ordered a few signature dishes, and then chose the most central location, which is convenient for "hearing all directions".
By the way, I also ordered two jugs of wine.
Uzuki Xiyan looked at the jug with a troubled expression on her face. She felt that the teacher was a little dishonest and let her, an underage girl, drink.
Other people's teachers would not do this.
Uchiha Xia didn't think so, because the physique transformed by Xianrenwan was much stronger than that of adults. Although he was young, drinking alcohol would not affect his body at all.
Moreover, only when I get you drunk, teacher, can I go about my business.
Uchiha Natsu poured the wine on his own, and when he finished pouring, seeing that Uzuki Yuyan was still struggling, he helped the little disciple to fill it up.
Uzuki Xiyan's eyes widened. Is this a full glass of wine that I can finish at my age? !
Uchiha Natsu took a sip from his wine glass, pricking up his ears to listen carefully to the conversation at the next table behind him.
But after listening for a while, I didn't see those two people mention Payne.
At this moment, he suddenly heard someone mentioning this matter in the compartment on the other side.
Uchiha Natsu took some time off, leaned closer to the partition on the other side, stared at the sake in the glass, and listened carefully.
…
"If you want me to say, we should all run away with our families. This war is not a joke. Remember the last ninja war. We were not spared here, and many civilians died!"
"Hey, this time is different from last time. I heard that Payne can easily kill even a semi-god-like strong man like Sanshoyu Hanzo. After that, he even called himself a god, and no one can beat him."
"That's right, I've also heard people say that this time Payne took action himself, and within two days he took away a large area of the Land of Earth. Our Hokage just got the news when the territory was lost and daimyo was captured!"
"After the daimyo was captured by Payne, he was seriously injured in order to torture the information. Jiraiya-sama, one of the fifth generation and the Sannin, tried his best to rescue the daimyo. They are not Payne's opponents at all."
"It seems that the sky is about to change. I originally thought that our country of fire will have an excellent Hokage like the fifth generation. Sooner or later, the ninja world will be unified, and we will finally be able to live a stable life. Looking at it now, I am afraid that it will soon be destroyed."
"Stop talking, be careful not to be overheard by Anbu's eyeliner, and you won't be able to eat and walk around!"
"Huh, what's going on with love? No one knows the news now, but everyone dare not say it publicly. People's hearts are in chaos. Look at the current Bamboo Street, how can it be as peaceful as it was a few days ago?"
"Misfortune comes out of your mouth!"
…
Uchiha Natsu frowned as he listened.
It turned out that no one talked about it because they were afraid of being controlled by Anbu's eyeliner.
But in fact, the news spread even faster than Hokage knew.
It seems calm on the surface, but in fact, it is not known how much panic will be, and it is quietly spreading.
Uzuki Xiyan was still struggling, she looked up and saw her teacher's ear was pressed against the partition, with an uncertain expression.
She had black lines all over her head and didn't know what expression to make.
After waiting for a while, Uzuki Yugao secretly lowered her head when Uchiha Natsu returned to her senses.
She stuck out her little red tongue, quickly dipped a little wine with the tip of her tongue, and then stood up instantly.
The spiciness erupted on the tip of the tongue, accompanied by a strong aroma of wine, which greatly stimulated the taste buds.
Drink it well!
Maoyue Xiyan's big eyes were shining brightly, she picked up the wine glass and took another sip, a blush appeared on her face.
Looking up, I saw Uchiha Natsu looking at her with a smile, and holding up the wine glass, clinking glasses.
Uzuki Xiyan instantly restrained her expression, put down her glass and explained: "I just tasted it, and minors are not allowed to drink."
Uchiha Xia smiled, lifted the wine glass in his hand to his mouth, and took a sip.
Just now, he saw the little disciple's performance, and knew that she didn't hate the taste of wine, but liked it very much.
Then there is no need to worry. With his drinking capacity, how can a disciple who is drinking for the first time be able to resist?
Uzuki Xiyan looked at the way the teacher was drinking, and recollected the taste in his mouth, feeling that the taste gradually faded.
The two villains in her heart struggled back and forth, and she felt that the teacher had opened the door to a new world for herself.
On the one hand, minors are not allowed to drink alcohol, and it seems that girls are not good to drink, and on the other hand, it is really fragrant.
In the end, the word "true fragrance" overwhelmed everything.
Uzuki Xiyan picked up the wine glass, instead of looking at Natsu Uchiha, she stared at the wine and said, "Old... Teacher seems lonely drinking alone, I'll take it as your company."
Obviously you wanted to drink it yourself, but the rejection just now was too decisive to get off the stage... Uchiha Natsu smiled and clinked a glass with Uzuki Yuyan.
Then, down the drain.
Uzuki Xiyan just started drinking in small sips, but then he got a little bit more excited, and his drinking speed was equal to that of Uchiha Xia.
The dishes on the table gradually turned into leftovers, and there were more and more wine jugs on the side.
Uchiha Xia was shocked to find that this underage disciple could drink better than herself.
There were already ten jugs on the table, and both of them drank five jugs. Uchiha Natsu felt unresponsive, but Uzuki Yugao still drank vigorously.
After drinking another cup, Mao Yue Xiyan smashed her rosy mouth, and said worriedly:
"Teacher, are we too slack? I'd better stop drinking. If I drink again, my reaction may become dull."
Uchiha Natsu was a little surprised that Uzuki Yuyan was still so awake.
However, Uchiha Xia has never slackened his vigilance. He left two shadow clones outside in advance, which can deal with most situations.
Uchiha Xia behaved very calmly, as if he was not drunk at all, and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, I've already arranged it, and the teacher's drinking capacity is much better than yours, so you don't get drunk so easily."
Uzuki Xiyan finally felt relieved, but still felt unsteady, so she used the shadow clone technique to create a shadow clone.
Let the shadow clone go outside to guard, she was relieved a little, and poured another glass of wine.
Uchiha Xia couldn't hold it anymore, reached into his arms, took out a potential jelly bean and stuffed it into his mouth.
The potential jelly beans entered the stomach, and the speed of the body's hangover suddenly doubled, as if the CPU had been overclocked and running at full capacity.
In the end, twenty wine jugs were placed on the table, and Uzuki Xiyan finally got drunk and fell asleep on the table.
"The same Senninmaru, why is there such a big gap in effect..." Uchiha Natsu got up to check out, set up Uzuki Yugao and walked out.
Outside the door, Uzuki Xiyan's shadow clone noticed the two of them coming out, and looked at her own body drunk, like Tsunade who had left before.
Ying Fen stepped forward, wanting to take over her body, but saw a big hand pressing on top of her head.
Uzuki Xiyan's shadow clone looked up suspiciously, and then it turned into a puff of smoke.
Uyue Xiyan's body, who had received the memory, frowned slightly in a daze, and then stretched out again.
Uchiha Natsu activated the Flying Raijin Jutsu, and brought Uzuki Yuyan back to the basement she built in an instant.
Then put the little practitioner on the bed and covered him with a quilt.
Leaving a shadow clone here to guard, he launched the Flying Thunder God again and came to the ground.
Thinking about the contents of the note, he wandered around in the alley, and finally stopped in front of a stall selling grilled octopus.
Here, there is already a familiar figure waiting in advance.
Shizune found Uchiha Natsu, got up quickly, and bowed to salute.
After the normal greetings, Uchiha Xia sat on the small stool in front of the booth.
Uchiha Natsu looked at Shizune with a calm expression. At this time, he was different from before, exuding the majesty from Hokage.
When he was in the hotel before, Uchiha Xia used puppetry to leave a gadget for monitoring intelligence.
Although it's not very polite to do so, it's also something that can't be helped.
Tsunade didn't notice it, but Uchiha Xia deliberately let Shizune find it.
If the mute is not multi-tubed, or it is ruined, that is also normal.
If Shizune responded, Uchiha Natsu would be able to determine her attitude.
At that time, Shizune whispered, euphemistically expressing her wish for Tsunade to make changes, so Uchiha Xia made the later actions.
Go to the tavern to meet Tsunade and Shizune, and when they pass each other, give Shizune a note and agree on a meeting place.
Uchiha Natsu wanted to come to see Shizune alone, so she got Uzuki Xiyan drunk in advance, otherwise Uzuki Xiyan would definitely try her best to follow her.
After all, he is now "weaker" than his disciples.
On the surface, the little disciple was getting emotional, but in actual actions, he was always protecting him, the teacher.
Although he felt underestimated, Uchiha Natsu still felt a warm feeling that he was not alone in this world.
Shizune had been very nervous before, but now he heard Uchiha Natsu's real purpose, and he was relieved.
Although Uchiha Xia left a few hints, she never told her what the purpose was. Shizune is just guessing, Fifth Hokage wants to save Tsunade-sama.
Now, the speculation has finally been confirmed.
In fact, although Shizune has worked hard for so many years and messed around with this wayward Princess Tsunade, she actually hopes that Tsunade can come out of the shadows.
She was really thinking about Tsunade, thinking that Tsunade could no longer be so muddled.
Now Tsunade is laughing and joking on the surface, but he is very lonely in his heart. There were even a few nights when Shizune saw Tsunade crying in his sleep.
Shizune raised her head and looked at the young man in front of her. The rumored Fifth Hokage made great efforts to rule the country and tripled the territory of the Land of Fire unprecedentedly.
There are also a series of operations such as the integration of ninja forces across the country, which have proved the ability of this Hokage.
Tsunade didn't care much about this, but Shizune understood.
She believes that if the Fifth Hokage takes action, this matter is very likely to succeed.
After considering the language, Shizune told Uchiha Xia what he knew and some guesses.
Including the death of Tsunade's younger brother Naoki, and Tsunade's first love—that is, the death of Shizune's own uncle Kato Duanzhan, all of them were said one by one.
Uchiha Xia heard from beginning to end, feeling that he didn't get any useful information.
Because what Jing Yin said was almost the same as what he knew, and he knew more details.
Anbe is not a freelancer.
Finally, Shizune remembered something and added:
"By the way, Lord Wudaimu, Master Tsunade once said when she was drunk that she has been completely disappointed in this world. War will continue to plunder people's lives and take away half of a complete family in exchange for peace. But short-lived After peace, war breaks out again, and finally repeats the same mistakes over and over again, even if it is..."
Shizune paused, looked at Uchiha Natsu, hesitated to speak.
Uchiha Xia felt that the girl was playing with him, and suddenly felt a little upset, and frowned, "What is it?"
Jing Yin struggled for a while, and finally said:
"Even her teacher, the Third Hokage, and the current Fifth Hokage, are of no help to this world."
In fact, the third generation was added by Shizune himself, and Tsunade said that there is only one person in the fifth generation.
It's just that Tsunade's dissatisfaction with the third generation has been around for a long time, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with adding it here.
Mainly because he was afraid that the fifth generation in front of him would be too embarrassed, and then get angry.
Uchiha Natsu frowned, but didn't make a sound.
Tsunade's dissatisfaction with Sarutobi Hiruzen is understandable, after all, the two most important people died during his rule.
Judging from Shizune's last words, Tsunade has lost confidence in the position of Hokage.
I don't think any Hokage can really make the land of fire peaceful and stable.
Her younger brother once talked about the ideal of becoming an excellent Hokage and worked hard for it, but he died in his youth.
Kato Dan's ideal is also to become an excellent Hokage for the people around him, for Konoha, and for peace.
But unfortunately, not long after I finished speaking, I also reported to the Pure Land.
Both wanted to become Hokage and bring peace to Konoha, and both died in the war, as if God did not want such people to exist in the world.
This also led to Tsunade's heart knot, completely disappointed with the world, and indulged in gambling all day long.
"It seems that the ideals of Tsunade and I, as well as Yugao, are very similar, with the same purpose." Uchiha Natsu seems to have found a solution.
As long as Tsunade knows that he is definitely the Hokage in his ideal, let Tsunade see hope, then the problem may be solved easily.
The rest is only the sequelae of halosmia, but that is something to worry about in the future.
Shizune has been observing Uchiha Natsu, and seeing that the other party is silent, he thought that Hokage was angry.
So she quickly explained:
"Godaime-sama, um, Tsunade-sama didn't mean to belittle you. She often talks nonsense after drinking, but she doesn't actually think so."
Shizune risked talking about Tsunade's drinking in order to provide Uchiha Xia with as much information as possible.
If the Fifth Hokage is different from the rumors and is actually a stingy Hokage, then what she said just now is likely to cause trouble.
Uchiha Natsu waved his hand, indicating that he didn't take it seriously, and said lightly:
"She thinks that like the previous Hokages, I am a conservative leader without any ambition or ability. If I can let her know what I really think, maybe there is a chance to solve the problem."
That said, I want Jing Yin to help me out with some ideas.
Shizune thought about it, and then discussed with Uchiha Xia, but after an hour passed, there was no result of the discussion.
If it was before Payne's invasion, there might be many more opportunities.
But now that the war is imminent, the residents are in danger and panic. Uchiha Xia's credibility in Tsunade's heart was already suppressed.
Can a Hokage who cannot make residents live a stable life still be a Hokage who is capable and ambitious?
Since the discussion had no clue, Uchiha Natsu took Shizune and walked along the street to see if he could meet the owner of the Senren Jade.
As they walked, the two came to the previous tavern.
There were noisy and noisy voices inside, which were different from the usual conversations of guests, and there were some curses.
Uchiha Xia's attention was attracted, he turned and opened the curtain, and walked into the tavern.
"Shua!"
As soon as he entered the door, a chair flew over in front of him, Uchiha Natsu reacted very quickly, raised his hand and firmly grasped the leg of the chair.
The force coming from above was not small, but Uchiha Xia's physical strength was so strong that his arms didn't even tremble.
The noise fell silent, Uchiha Natsu put down his chair and looked up.
The one who threw the chair just now was a young man with a rough appearance. He was standing in front of the checkout bar, which was already in a mess.
The proprietor and proprietress of the tavern stood beside them. They were a middle-aged couple. Their faces were not very good-looking, but they didn't dare to get angry.
The appearance of Uchiha Xia did not attract too much attention, and the guests in the distance turned their eyes back to the rough youth.
The tavern owner forced a smile, and said with a smile: "Master Takisuke, we just paid the money a few days ago, and it's less than a month."
The rough man named Takisuke kicked over the small table next to him, and said viciously:
"What did you hand over a few days ago? Listen, Payne is already coming to attack the Nation of Fire. With the ninja power of the Nation of Fire, he can't stop it at all. If you want to live in peace and stability, give me money , otherwise you don’t need to work in this shop!”
Hearing this, the tavern owner's face was ashen, and the other guests were shocked.
During this period of time, the ninjas of the Fire Nation were unified, and the existence of Anbu also came into the eyes of the common people.
These residents all know that there is an extremely mysterious and powerful ninja unit hidden under Konoha's Hokage, which is responsible for assassination and maintaining order.
For example, for ninja criminals that cannot be controlled by ordinary police forces, Anbu will take a thunderous shot to kill the target, and even the body will not be left behind.
Therefore, intimidated by Anbu's legend, these ordinary residents dare not discuss it blatantly.
Unexpectedly, this bully who usually relied on his own power to run amok would not care about it at all, and said such words in front of the public.
Although many people think the same thing as a bully in their hearts, saying it is another matter.
Even if Konoha lost to Payne, ordinary people like them couldn't afford to offend Anbu's killer.
Looking at the expressions of the drinkers around, the bully Takisuke drew out his samurai sword and slashed at the proprietress's chest without any scruples.
Although she didn't use Chakra, the proprietress was an ordinary person, how could she withstand such a sharp weapon, and she fell to the ground with a scream.
The tavern owner was so frightened that he bent down with all his strength and pressed his wife's wound tightly, distraught.
The blood flowed and soaked the ground, Takisuke snorted coldly and said: "My uncle will come tomorrow morning, I will give you one night to prepare. Don't tell me that you can't pay for such a big store, if you continue to perfunctory with me , UU Reading www.uukanshu.com will smash your shop!"
After finishing speaking, Takisuke took back the **** samurai sword. After seeing the blood, his expression became more ruthless, and he coldly glanced at the drinkers around him.
The drinker didn't dare to look at him, and hastily withdrew his gaze.
Takisuke was very satisfied with the effect, and then strode towards the door.
When he was about to pass Uchiha Xia, he and Uchiha Xia looked at each other.
Finding that this person was someone he had never seen before, he didn't cause trouble because of Uchiha Xia's gaze, and left on his own.
Shizune wanted to make a move, but was held down by Uchiha Natsu.
Just as the two sides passed each other, Uchiha Natsu used puppet technique to bounce a little spider out and hung it on the rough-looking young man.
His lost luck these days seems to have returned. I found Tsunade easily before, and now I have met a fairy jade owner.
In the field of vision that only Uchiha Natsu could see, there was a pale yellow light floating on the chest of the bully who shot and hurt people just now.
Shizune was a little aggrieved, and was very disdainful of Uchiha Natsu's behavior of turning a blind eye, and was a little disappointed in his heart.
Uchiha Xia turned his head, the corners of his mouth raised, and said: "Now, the opportunity has come."
