Chapter 356 - Reporting To Tsunade
Monts later, Yuna and Karin appeared inside Tsunade's office, causing her to sigh loudly.
"I'm almost done with today's portion of my paperwork, Yuna. I really hope whatever you have to say won't change that fact."
Before Yuna could answer Tsunade, a person that was wearing a white mask with a red Uzumaki symbol started speaking.
"Don't be like that, Tsunade; I'm sure Yuna wouldn't co here if she didn't have anything important to tell."
At that statent, Tsunade scoffed in disdain.
"Yeah, right, grandma. We both know that Yuna loves nothing more than ssing around with people."
The masked person, Mito, wanted to answer Tsuande's banter, but before she could do so, Yuna intervened in the conversation.
"Sorry to break up your fun, but this ti I actually have sothing important to say."
Tsunade's eyebrows rose in doubt, but when she saw the severe expression on Yuna's face, that doubt quickly vanished.
"Very well, what happened."
"A short while ago, Suna was attacked by Akatsuki, resulting in Gaara getting kidnapped. Usually, I would just waltz over there and kill everyone involved, but I decided to throw you a bone for once and inform you beforehand. You may now proceed to proclaim your gratitude for that."
anwhile, Tsunade completely ignored the second part of Yuna's statent while solely focusing on the first.
"Gaara got kidnapped?! Are you serious, Yuna? Where did you get that information from?"
"Yes, he did. Yes, I am. The Uzumaki clan has a rather efficient seal-based information gathering network, and a village spanning fight can naturally not be concealed from it. I'm sure you will get a report about this relatively soon as well."
Tsunade pondered on Yuna's words for a short mont before simply nodding her head. In her opinion, there was very little reason for her to lie about this matter, so Tsunade was rather confident that Yuna was telling the truth.
"Very well, go over there and safe Gaara. I assu you want to take Karin with you? Are there any other people you would like to take?"
Yuna was rather satisfied that Tsunade imdiately switched gears without giving her any bullsh*t about the detail of how she managed to get that information and nodded her head in acknowledgnt.
"Naturally, I'm going to take Naruto with as well. He considers Gaara to be his friend, after all, and would be rather pissed if I didn't take him with ."
Although Tsunade wasn't happy that both of Konoha's Jinchuuriki would be leaving the village for the sa mission, considering the duo's strength, there was very little she actually had to be worried about. Additionally, she received a kunai from Yuna and Naruto, so even if soone she couldn't handle suddenly decided to attack Konoha, they could be back within an instant.
"*Sigh* Fine, although I feel like that is a little bit overkill, take him with you."
"Speaking of overkill, how about you co with us as well, Tsunade?"
Tsunade couldn't help but look at Yuna weirdly when she heard that question.
"Why would I? You two already have more than enough firepower to deal with the situation, while I can't exactly leave my post here in Konoha empty."
"Apparently, Sasori of the Red Sand is one of the people that attacked Suna, and he poisoned quite a few people. Although I do not doubt Karin's skill in dical jutsu, having an extra person that can heal an S-Rank shinobi's poison would, without a doubt, be helpful."
Tsunade pondered Yuna's words before shaking her head in denial.
"Although I agree with your assessnt, a Kage can't leave their village so easily. Instead of that, you should be taking Sakura with you. Just like Karin, I have taken her in as an apprentice, and if it is only about dical jutsu, she is more skilled than Karin."
Yuna paused for a mont when she heard that na, and after a short mont of pondering, the image of a pink-haired girl with a banshee-like voice appeared in her mind.
When she realized who Tsunade was talking about, her gaze imdiately landed on Tsunade, doubt filling her eyes, causing Tsunade to chuckle in amusent.
"Well, I can't really bla you for having so doubts about her capabilities, but I can guarantee you, that her dical skills are top-notch."
Yuna held eye contact with Tsunade for a bit longer to make sure she wasn't ssing with her before nodding her head in understanding.
"Alright, since she has your acknowledgnt, I will accept her participation in the mission."
Tsunade nodded her head and took a scroll out of one of her desk's drawers. She quickly wrote a few paragraphs on it before putting the Hokage's official seal on the bottom of the scroll and tossing it to Yuna, who caught it easily.
"Guess we should at least make this ss sowhat official, so here is my order to support Suna in rescuing the Kazekage. During this ti of the day, Sakura will be most likely helping out at the hospital, so you should be able to pick her up from there. Good luck on your mission."
Yuna flicked her wrist, casually storing the scroll she just received in the storage seals hidden on her wrist before nodding in acknowledgnt at Tsunade's words.
"Luck won't be necessary, but thanks anyway. See ya."
Yet again, Yuna grabbed Karin's shoulder and teleported out of the room. Although Yuna had no teleportation markers directly inside the hospital, she had at least one close by, which was her designated target this ti.
A few hours later, when Yuna and her group had long arrived in Suna, an ANBU burst into the room with frantic steps while breathing heavily.
"Tsunade-sama, there is terrible news! Akatsuki attacked Suna and managed to kidnap Kazekage-dono!"
"…"
"I-Is sothing wrong, Tsunade-sama?"
"*Sigh* No matter how I look at it, I need to coax the thod to transfer information this quickly out of her, don't I?"
While a chuckle of amusent could be heard from underneath Mito's mask, the ANBU had no clue what was going on. He was rather dissatisfied that Tsunade wasn't reacting to the ssage he had just delivered at all.
"Err, Tsunade-sama, how should we react to this information?"
"*Sigh* We have already reacted to the situation. Your ssage was delivered to a few hours ago, and I have already sent a team over to Sune to help solve the problem."
The ANBU completely froze up when he heard Tsunade's words. He had no clue how this ssage could have possibly been delivered hours ago. After all, he was the first one in ANBU who received that information and imdiately started running back to Konoha like a mad man to deliver this crucial piece of information as soon as possible. Yet, soone, sohow, beat him to it by a massive margin.
"H-How?"
That was all he could squeeze out in his bewildernt, causing Tsunade to look at him with a bit of pity.
"Yuna Uzumaki got involved in this matter."
"Ah, got it."
The mont Yuna's na ca up, all his confusion vanished instantly, and he simply nodded his head in acknowledgnt and left the room with an annoyed expression on his face, causing Tsunade to chuckle in amusent.
"Well, at least my ANBU bounce back relatively quickly in these kinds of situations by now. Although I am not entirely sure whether that is a good sign or a bad sign."
""Definitely both.""
Tsunade off handily noticed that her inquiry was not only answered by Mito but by a second, old-sounding, male voice that ca from the couch inside her office, but she decided to ignore that.
