Chapter 383 I became a "melon"! Transfer order! Three more updates, please give me a ticket
"Boom~~~"
"It hurts…it hurts! Ryoui, be gentle, be gentle!"
"Mikoto, quickly help me stop Ryoui~"
In the tranquil depths of the oasis's night, any slight disturbance would be infinitely magnified… Fujiwara Tetsuya's wailing, like ghosts crying and wolves howling, was bound to attract countless people's attention.
Within a few minutes, hundreds of figures had gathered outside the residence where Fujiwara Tetsuya lived, and even more people… who, due to the unbearable loneliness of a deep night, were seeking diversion… were rapidly on their way.
Undoubtedly, tonight… would become the most painful memory in Fujiwara Tetsuya's life.
"That sound…it's Lord Tetsuya."
"Could it be that an enemy attacked Lord Tetsuya?"
"What are you all looking at? Let's go support Lord Tetsuya together…"
Just as many Ninja who had gone through the adult initiation, as if having stumbled upon some juicy gossip, were looking meaningfully at the building before them… a Genin who had recently graduated rushed out, gripping a kunai, seemingly intending to become a hero and rescue Fujiwara Tetsuya from the enemy.
"Cough~ Murakami, don't meddle in Lord's affairs. You're still young and don't understand!"
"Lord Tetsuya…he's fine."
Just as that Genin was about to charge to the front of Fujiwara Tetsuya's residence, a figure swiftly broke through the air… and, by a hair's breadth, pulled the hot-headed youngster back.
"Hmm~ Teacher, what does this have to do with age?"
"When Lord Tetsuya was my age, he had already embarked on the path of a Ninja and established countless merits for the Village…"
Clearly, this youngster named Murakami was also an ardent fan who had listened to the myths of Fujiwara Tetsuya.
"Cough~ Well, Genin Murakami, you'll know these things one day…don't rush."
The speakers were not outsiders, but Uchiha Qingfeng and Uchiha Kazuha, who had just arrived.
Like most of the Ninja watching the spectacle, Uchiha Qingfeng and Uchiha Kazuha's gazes were also quite playful.
"Looking at this, it seems Sister Mikoto has gained the upper hand over Jonin Hishigoromo…in the battle for Lord Tetsuya."
..."You guys, why are you gathered here so late instead of sleeping?"
"Do you not have to face the threat of Sunagakure anymore?"
Just as the gathering Ninja grew more numerous and gradually showed signs of getting out of control… two powerful presences broke through the air, finally stopping in front of Fujiwara Tetsuya's courtyard.
With things having escalated to this point, even Sakumo Hatake and Tsunade…could not just stand by and watch the situation unfold, and so they had to rush over to save Fujiwara Tetsuya.
"It's Lord Sakumo, and Lady Tsunade…I didn't expect even these two Lords to be alarmed."
"I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of expression Lord Tetsuya will show tomorrow when we meet him?"
In low voices, several curvaceous female Jonin, caressing their fiery red dust, gazed teasingly at the residence behind Sakumo Hatake and Tsunade.
"Cough~ Lord Sakumo, we just felt the weather was a bit stuffy, and got lost while out for a walk…we're going back now, we're going back now…"
"Exactly! Lord Sakumo, Lady Tsunade…we just accidentally got lost, we're going back now."
"Eh~ The weather in the Land of Wind is a bit too hot. Speaking of which…when we see Lord Tetsuya tomorrow, it would be best to get some ice from him to cool down…it's such a headache, what reason should I use…"
...Seeing Sakumo Hatake and Tsunade step forward to support Fujiwara Tetsuya…the Konoha Ninja who were still watching the show immediately scattered like birds and beasts, finding some unreliable excuses, and instantly vanished into the distant darkness.
"Hey~ Tetsuya, you brat, Ryoui…and that little girl from the Uchiha Clan, you three can play, but please be mindful of the impact, okay…?"
The moment Tsunade's voice rang out, the commotion inside the house suddenly stopped. Not to mention Uchiha Mikoto and Torune Ryoui, even someone as thick-skinned as Fujiwara Tetsuya…felt a bit embarrassed.
Today's events had clearly gotten out of hand…That night, the suggestion Fujiwara Tetsuya made, though not entirely fulfilled…had brought unimaginable joy in the following days. However, this joy did not last long before it was interrupted by the Anbu dispatched by Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"So many things have happened in the Land of Rain during this period?"
Inside the room, besides Fujiwara Tetsuya, there were Sakumo Hatake, Tsunade, and other high-ranking front-line personnel…and also Torune Ryoui.
Perhaps Hiruzen Sarutobi was truly worried about Danzo's injuries, and at the very end…he thought of Torune Ryoui, who had inherited half of Tsunade's mantle.
In terms of Medical Ninjutsu, Torune Ryoui might still be quite a ways behind Tsunade, but compared to the Village's veteran Medical Ninja, she was already on par, if not superior.
"Senior Sakumo, Senior Tsunade…it seems we won't be able to fight side by side for a while."
"Sunagakure is in your hands…"
"The Third Kazekage, Chiyo, Ebizo, Rasa, and Ichibi…are not easy to deal with. You must be careful after I leave."
If he remembered correctly, Kato Dan also seemed to have died in the war against Sunagakure.
Fujiwara Tetsuya couldn't explain this…nor could he state it directly. All he could do was remind Tsunade and Sakumo Hatake to be vigilant. As long as they didn't fall into the traps set by Sunagakure…killing a Quasi-Kage on the front lines, especially a Quasi-Kage like Kato Dan who was infinitely close to Kage-level, was not a simple matter.
"Hmph~ Brat, who are you looking down on?"
"When I was on the battlefield, you were just a sperm…"
"Even if you leave, having me and Senior Sakumo is enough."
Hearing Tsunade's retort, Fujiwara Tetsuya couldn't help but twitch his mouth…Could such words be said in front of so many people?
Forget it~ Can't afford to provoke her!
"Senior Tsunade, don't be careless. Although the One-Tail Jinchuriki Bunpuku's strength is lacking, the Ichibi's strength is not as weak as imagined…The strength of a Tailed Beast is not ranked by the number of its tails."
"Well then, I'll take my leave for now!"
"Senior Sakumo, I'm taking Mikoto with me."
"Also, those few Ninja from the Uchiha Clan who came to the Land of Wind with Senior Tsunade, I'll have to trouble you to look after them…"
..."How long will this war continue…?"
At the edge of Po Suo Oasis, watching Fujiwara Tetsuya, Uchiha Mikoto, Torune Ryoui, and their group disappear into the distance, Tsunade silently withdrew her gaze, her eyes growing deeper.
Although her words just now were high-minded, both she and Sakumo Hatake felt immense pressure after Fujiwara Tetsuya left…Fujiwara Tetsuya was right, the Third Kazekage, Chiyo, Ebizo, Rasa, and Ichibi…none of them were easy to deal with.
Soon, the situation they faced might be even more perilous than in the Land of Rain.
