Although she was not a direct disciple, Tsunade was indeed the instructor of the first medical ninja experimental training class in Konoha, and taught Shiraishi a lot of knowledge about medical ninjutsu.

"Hello, Tsunade-nin."

Ayane also bowed and quickly saluted Tsunade.

Tsunade just waved her hand and said with a smile: "No need to be like this, just be casual. Is there any problem in this mission?"

She asked intentionally or unintentionally.

Shiraishi didn't think anything and answered honestly: "I heard Liuli say that this was a trap by the Suna Ninja, and they deliberately used wrong information to lead us Konoha Ninjas there and annihilate them."

Then, he looked very puzzled, as if he didn't quite understand what this mission was about.

Ayane coughed twice.

"Hinata girl, are you feeling unwell?"

Tsunade looked at her.

"Well, when I came back, I found that my throat was a little uncomfortable, maybe I had a cold."

Ayane answered.

"Girls should pay attention to their health." Tsunade turned her attention to Shiraishi again, patted his head gently, and her voice softened: "It's okay, it will be fine as soon as it passes. I will do the next thing for you.

Settled."

"Thank you, Tsunade-sensei. But Suna Ninja is really despicable, Tsunade-sensei should be more careful."

Seeing Shiraishi's innocent, harmless eyes that truly cared about her, Tsunade sighed in her heart.

That guy Danzo is really damned.

These are the pillars of Konoha's future.

Tsunade paid some more attention to Shiraishi, and before entering the camp, she gave Shiraishi a few scrolls, which contained Tsunade's valuable experience in medical ninjutsu.

She sincerely admires a simple and upright young man like Shiraishi. Even though his talent in medical ninjutsu is not outstanding, he may have entered Sakumo's team through nepotism, but his seriousness and concentration are worth her attention.

We will vigorously train young ninjas who work hard and make progress.

The little Uchiha girl must also like this in him. Tsunade thought to herself.

"Shiraishi-kun, you are so bad."

Ayane watched Tsunade enter the camp and complained to Shiraishi.

If she hadn't known the truth, she would have almost believed Shiraishi's lies.

"I don't want to do this either, but this is the capital I rely on to survive. And I feel bad for deceiving someone who treats me so sincerely. She is the ninja who, like Mr. Fujimura, really wants me to be a good ninja besides you.

.”

Speaking of this, Shiraishi thought of his class teacher Taiga Fujimura who had accompanied him through six years of study.

I don’t know if my single career has ended now, but I am now a chuunin-sama who is about to run three years. It’s really worrying.

Ten minutes later, Liuli walked out of the tent with an unhappy look on her face.

Because the physical injury has not healed yet, the walking speed is not very fast.

"What does it say above?"

Shiraishi and Ayane came over and asked.

Liuli glanced at the two of them, tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart and said: "What else can we do? Commander Orochimaru-sama, let the three of us return to the village immediately and stand by."

"immediately?"

"Return to the village and wait for orders?"

These two questions came out of Shiraishi and Ayane's mouths one after another, with expressions of surprise.

"Wait a minute, Teacher Sakumo hasn't come back yet..."

"He told us not to wait for him to come back. We should set off immediately to escort the wounded who cannot participate in the battle back to the village with other teams."

Liuli repeated this order unhappily.

"Is that so? It seems like things are much more troublesome than I thought."

Shiraishi said meaningfully.

Although Sakumo's team has special responsibilities, the overall commander of the battlefield is Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas.

He has higher on-the-spot dispatch authority than their leader, Sakumo Hatake.

Therefore, no matter how much the Shiraishi trio protested, it was of no use and they could only return to the village and wait for orders.

As for what happened on Sakumo's side, the three of them had no idea at all. There were still many unresolved questions about the fault of this mission, but Orochimaru Jounin, as the commander, would not reveal it to the three of them.

In the final analysis, it is because of insufficient identity and strength.

If Sakumo was here, even if Orochimaru had a higher status, he wouldn't be able to ignore Sakumo's question.

"That's it, pack up and get ready to go."

Liuli was unhappy, and she had no plans to return to the village.

It has only been a few days since I came to the frontline battlefield, and now I have to go back. It is really a toy to play with.

Half an hour later, many ninjas gathered at the Konoha camp and many carriages were prepared. Many wounded people were resting in the carriages.

In addition to the three Shiraishis, they were accompanied by more than thirty Konoha ninjas, including four Jonin. There were also several medical staff in the team responsible for treating the wounded.

…

"Why should the three of them go back?"

Inside the camp, Tsunade sat aside and looked at the pale young ninja in confusion.

His long, jet-black hair hangs straight down, and his face is handsome, but with a somewhat feminine temperament.

This person is none other than Orochimaru, the commander-in-chief of Konoha's frontline forces against Sunagakure.

Along with Jiraiya and Tsunade, he is one of the three ninjas.

Faced with Tsunade's question, Orochimaru gave a very simple reason: "The war is coming, and I don't want this troublesome political dispute to make my place a mess."

"But let the three of them go back like this..."

"We can't let Sakumo know about this. He is not suitable for this kind of political field, and he might cause other troubles. The main goal of Konoha now is to defeat the Suna ninja, and I don't want to be distracted by this kind of thing."

Orochimaru shook his head, no matter what the truth of this matter was, he was not interested.

He will not be distracted by such things, and the final result depends on the Hokage himself. He is not the final decision-maker.

"I'm not worried about Uchiha and Hinata's little girl, but that boy..."

"You care about him?"

Orochimaru looked at Tsunade as if he was very interested.

"He is one of the students I have taught. I don't want him to be exposed to the dark side of the village. He can just do his job as a medical ninja and survive."

Tsunade sighed.

"Yes, in this chaotic era, surviving is the best outcome. But the growth of human beings is often accompanied by pain and the realization of the coldness of the world. Just like the rope tree is to you, it is also to me.

in this way."

When Orochimaru said this, he looked at his hands, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
