Konoha Tatsuno

Ten days later, the Akimichi family in Konoha Village.

"Long Ye, what's going on with you these days? The village has sent people to ask for news about you many times."

Qiudao Langyu sat on his knees in the hall with his arms folded, looking at Long Ye solemnly and asked.

"Uncle Langyu, our mission failed"

Long Ye lowered his head, looking slightly gloomy.

"I know this. More than a month ago, someone discovered the bodies of the three Chuunin team members who accompanied you, but you and Dr. Shennong were nowhere to be seen."

Akido Langyu stared at Long Ye closely, his brows furrowed together, with inquiry and worry in his eyes.

In the past month, news that is unfavorable to Tatsuno has spread in the village.

At first, Akimichi Langyu didn't believe the news at all, but now looking at Tatsuno who lowered his head, Akimichi Langyu was a little shaken.

Could it be that this kid really was unwilling to accept the failure of the mission and defected, only to come back because he couldn't survive?

Was this the guy who appeared at the border of the Fire Country and fought against the second-tailed Jinchūriki of Kumogakure Village?

However, according to the information coming from the village, the ninja with the giant Ninja Psychic Beast seems to have used magic during the battle!

This kid Long Ye doesn’t know how to do magic!

Several questions have been lingering in Akimichi Langyu's mind.

"Uncle Langyu, we encountered Sunagakure's assassination force on the way to the Kingdom of Wind. They were chasing Ye Cang, the Scorch Release Ninja of Sunagakure Village. We were hunted down because we disrupted their actions.

The opponent's strength was so strong that we had to separate. During the escape, I was severely wounded by them and had to hide and recuperate first.

After recovering from my injuries, I was unwilling to fail the mission and thought of going to the northern border to sneak attack on Kumogakure's rear in order to make up for my mistake.

Unexpectedly, I encountered Yukito, Kumogakure's second-tailed jinchūriki, on the way.

Facing her, I had to use all my strength to barely escape with my life, but my body was seriously injured again. I recovered for a while and then hurried back."

Long Ye raised his head, met Qiudao Langyu's gaze, and said calmly.

In addition to hiding to persuade Ye Cang, and the two of them went to Tianzhi Country to prepare for the establishment of Anshitang, Tatsuno told Akimichi Langyu everything else.

True and false, this is the highest level of lying.

Tatsuno didn't want to deceive Akimichi Langyu, but there were some things that were really inappropriate for him to know.

"So you have learned magic?"

Listening to Tatsuno's narration, Akimichi Langyu's face looked a little strange. After Tatsuno finished speaking, he couldn't help but ask.

Senjutsu, this is a super powerful ninjutsu that reaches the pinnacle of combat power in the ninja world.

Hearing that Tatsuno was already able to use magic, Akido Langyu couldn't help but feel relieved and a little sad.

I am afraid that my uncle will be no match for the 15-year-old boy in front of me!

"good!

However, at that time, I was also forced to use it for the first time, and there were many disadvantages. My body suffered a lot of trauma after the operation. I still have a long way to go before I can truly master it."

Tatsuno nodded upon hearing this and confessed to using magic.

You can't hide this even if you want to, but it only increases suspicion.

Hearing this, Akido Langyu looked strange and fell into silence.

After a long while, he waved his hand towards Tatsuno and said, "Okay then! You have worked hard during this period, so go back and rest first! The Hokage's office may talk to you in the next two days, so be prepared. Bar!"

"Okay, Uncle Langyu!"

Upon seeing this, Long Ye bowed and retreated. Before leaving the room, he couldn't help but glance in one direction in the hall.

After Tatsuno left, a door in the hall was opened, and the figure of Ryota Akimichi, the leader of the Akimichi clan, appeared outside the door.

"Lang Yu, how credible do you think this guy's words are?"

Akimichi Ryota walked into the hall, looked at Akimichi Ryuu who was kneeling and meditating, and asked aloud.

"It should be [-]% to [-]% true."

After hearing this, Qiudao Langyu slowly spoke.

Akimichi Ryota smiled and nodded and said: "That's right! This kid is naughty. He should have known where I was hiding for a long time. I can only believe [-]% of what he said. The Sunagakure Assassination Force is real. The Burning Release Ninja Leaf What happened in the warehouse is true, and the fight with Kumogakure's two-tailed jinchūriki Yukito is true, but there must be something hidden in it that we don't know about."

Tatsuno thought he was a clever lie, but he didn't know that he had already been seen through by Akimichi Ryota and Akimichi Ryuu.

Akimichi Ryuyu was silent for a few seconds, then nodded in agreement with Akimichi Ryota's inference.

After thinking for a moment, Qiudao Langyu then hesitated and said: "Clan leader, who do you think Long Ye learned his magic from?"

Akimichi Ryouta said calmly: "Who else can it be? The only person in our Konoha Village who has learned senjutsu is Jiraiya-sama, but Jiraiya-sama is usually away from the village for a long time, so Tatsuno should not have any contact with him.

Apart from Jiraiya-sama, the only ones left who may have been exposed to senjutsu are Orochimaru-sama and Tsunade-sama, who are also one of the three ninjas.

Didn't Orochimaru just come into contact with Tatsuno some time ago? I think it was probably given to him at that time."

Akimichi Ryuu: "Lord Orochimaru's reputation in the village has not been very good in the past two years. Isn't it a bit bad for Tatsuno to be too close to him?"

Akimichi Ryota didn't care much about this. He waved his hand and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, wait until he learns the magic first!"

Ryota Akimichi has seen how senjutsu can greatly improve the strength of ninjas. He hopes that Tatsuno can follow Orochimaru and improve his strength as soon as possible.

Judging from Tatsuno's current performance, this little guy has lived up to his original expectations for him.

Akimichi Langyu continued: "What about Tatsuno acting without permission from the village? How can we give the village an explanation?"

Akimichi said two days later: "Don't worry about this. I will personally explain it to the Third Generation. Our Akimichi clan is also from the Hokage clan. It is not easy for our family to produce such an outstanding talent. The village leaders will never sit back and watch him." Those who have been suppressed will never allow things like White Fang’s death to happen again.”

Akimichi Langyu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and bowed his hands towards Akimichi Ryota.

Sure enough, in the next two days, the village's treatment of Tatsuno was just as Ryota Akimichi expected.

After Zhao Tatsuno went to the Hokage's office to inquire about the situation in detail, the village's senior officials showed no hesitation or punishment for Tatsuno's failure in the mission and his behavior of acting privately without instructions from the village.

On the contrary, the top management of the village paid more attention to the information that Tatsuno learned from Tatsuno that Ye Cang, the Burning Escape Ninja of Sand Hidden Village, was being hunted by Sunagakure Village, and that Tatsuno had been able to use magic with the help of psychic beasts.

On the one hand, Sunagakure Village is now an ally of Konoha Village, and Konoha's top management will naturally be more concerned about the allies' movements.

On the other hand, under the current circumstances, everyone would be happy to see one more master who knows the magic of magic in the village.

In this regard, Tatsuno did not expect that he would pass so easily.
