Chapter 405 - 90

Chapter 90: Yamato's MissionUpon hearing Naruto's words, Konohamaru was extremely excited. He immediately stated that his grandfather would be fine and that he could start learning with Naruto right now.Naruto smiled and patted his head, saying earnestly: "Konohamaru, the path of a Ninja is long and boundless. It requires a long accumulation of training to grow into a qualified Ninja.""Training cannot be rushed overnight, so let's leave it at that for today! You take good care of the Third, and I'll take this somewhat silly-looking uncle to see the Hokage. Once all of this is handled, come find me again!"After speaking, Naruto hoisted the unconscious Yamato—who had fainted from excessive blood loss—onto his shoulder. Then, he stylishly tossed his hair and left without looking back, leaving Konohamaru with a cool silhouette.Although Tsunade and the Third had agreed to meet in the Hokage Office, she hadn't seen him arrive for a long time. Tsunade didn't really like the feeling of waiting for people, so she chose to go home and sleep instead.By the time Naruto returned with Yamato, she still hadn't gotten up. Naruto had to put in a lot of effort to wake her, and only then did Tsunade reluctantly crawl out of bed.Before she could even figure out what was going on, Naruto grabbed her hand and rushed downstairs. It wasn't until she saw Yamato lying on the ground that Tsunade finally woke up completely.She walked forward a couple of steps and then stopped. Tsunade turned her head and asked curiously: "What is he doing lying on the ground? Is he that tired, falling asleep in such a hurry? Did he drink too much yesterday, too?"Naruto rolled his eyes at her and said: "Do you think everyone is like you! If your alcohol tolerance is poor, you should pace yourself. Look at me; after drinking with you yesterday, I still went to school as usual today.""What? You dare to question my alcohol tolerance? That was purely because I wanted to sleep. If you don't believe me, let's have another contest tonight.""Cut it out. Don't think I don't know your little schemes. Indulging yourself once in a while is fine, but otherwise, it's easy to mess things up."Seeing that Naruto had seen through her intentions, Tsunade couldn't help but mutter that it was a buzzkill, then she asked again: "You still haven't told me, what exactly happened to this guy?"Now it was Naruto's turn to be in a bind. He stammered, not knowing how to explain it, but soon he came up with an excuse: "It's like this: today, the Third's grandson came to pick a fight with me and was also a bit disrespectful towards you.""Thinking about how he has been colluding with Danzo to bully you lately, I really couldn't stand it, so I had that Konohamaru take me to find the Third.""After we met, we started fighting after just a few words. As you can see, I used a self-created technique that I've been training with for a long time, but I didn't expect the power to be so great that it ended up instantly defeating him.""Yamato was watching the battle from the side, and because I haven't mastered this move very well yet, he was caught in the crossfire. He should be unconscious from excessive blood loss now; please hurry and treat him."However, it was clear that Tsunade didn't believe Naruto's explanation. She questioned: "Although I really hate that old geezer right now, if you say you could instantly defeat him and also seriously injure an elite Anbu Jonin, I just won't believe it."As she spoke, Tsunade stepped forward to check Yamato's condition and found that it was indeed similar to what Naruto had said. But strangely, while his symptoms indicated excessive blood loss, his blood pressure was very high.She couldn't help but ask: "How can a person suffering from blood loss also have symptoms of high blood pressure? How on earth did he get like this?""Alright, alright, stop nagging! Hurry up and wake him up; the Village is in urgent need of his help right now!"No matter how much Tsunade pressed him, Narutorefused to tell the truth. Helpless, she had to treat Yamato first, then prepare to ask him what really happened.Tsunade was worthy of being the Ninja World's top healer. Soon, Yamato slowly regained consciousness. As soon as he opened his eyes and saw Tsunade, he quickly got up, knelt on one knee, and said: "Hokage-sama, my apologies; I've actually required you to treat my injuries."However, that was not what Tsunade was concerned about. She asked about the reason for Yamato's unconsciousness, but unexpectedly, Yamato's expression turned strange upon hearing this, and he refused to speak. Eventually, however, he admitted that Naruto had indeed only used one technique to leave both him and the Third in this state.Although the doubts in her heart remained unresolved, Tsunade gave up on pressing further. She knew that these people were likely not going to tell her the truth.So, she changed the subject and put on her Hokageairs, saying: "Tenzō, I have an extremely important mission to entrust to you. You might be away from the Village for a long time. Moreover, this mission is very important for the entire landscape of the Ninja World. I wonder if you would be willing to take it?"Upon hearing this, Yamato immediately replied: "Hokage-sama, Tenzō has made too many mistakes in his earlier years. Thanks to the guidance and forgiveness of Kakashi-senpai and the Third, I was able to turn over a new leaf.""Now that you trust me so much, Tenzō is willing to dedicate everything to the Village, even if it means sacrificing my life! Whatever you need me to do, Hokage-sama, just entrust it to me; I will definitely do my utmost to complete it!"Yamato's attitude greatly satisfied Tsunade. She repeated to him what she had said to Hizashi, and finally added: "But right now, Huayin Village is in the early stages of construction, and the villagers are still living in thatched huts.""All the facilities are incomplete, so I hope you can go over and help them, especially with your Wood Release. If you can create more wooden houses, it will definitely speed up the construction of the Village."Upon hearing Tsunade's words, Yamato seemed somewhat incredulous. He said with difficulty: "W-what? Do you mean... you want me to go there to build houses?""That's right. Is there any difficulty for you with this mission? If there is, just say it, and I will find a way to help you resolve it.""Besides, you must not underestimate this mission; our demand is quite large!"
