"What? You mean the Hokage wants you to assassinate the Kazekage again?"
Tsunade was somewhat speechless after hearing Sakumo Hatake's words.
An operation that had already failed once, how could there still be a chance?
Isn't this forcing Sakumo Hatake to tie down the Hidden Sand Village's forces so that the front lines can achieve sufficient victory?
What's the purpose?
Could it be... Orochimaru...
Tsunade couldn't quite figure it out.
"I've already requested accompanying Ninja, but..."
"Is it that guy again?"
Seeing Sakumo Hatake's hesitant expression, Tsunade knew that Sarutobi Shinnosuke might also be involved in this mission.
"Yes."
"His strength isn't enough to carry out this mission."
"But after I said there was a high chance of completing the assassination, that guy came to find me."
"He said it was Hokage-sama's arrangement."
Sakumo Hatake was also somewhat speechless.
Such a person merely wanted to steal credit.
"Then be careful. If things become impossible, don't persist. Ensure your own safety."
"Alright, I need to go back and check on my disciple."
Tsunade said a few simple words, then bid farewell to Sakumo Hatake.
Konoha Hospital.
The injured in the public and private wards had already received initial emergency treatment.
Next, they would need time for recuperation and special medical care.
Just the emergency treatment had exhausted all of Roy and Shizune's energy.
At this moment, the two youngsters were resting in the lounge.
Shizune was using this time to record the day's harvest.
That girl was truly diligent.
"Roy, come out for a moment."
Tsunade came over, and seeing Shizune there, called Roy out.
"I've examined those two. It wasn't poisoning, nor was it due to stab wounds."
"Can you tell me how they died?"
Tsunade asked directly, without any reservations.
As for faking an injury, Danzo wouldn't resort to such a foolish method.
The only explanation was that Roy had killed the two.
Tsunade had considered poison, and also some special secret Ninjutsu.
But she hadn't found any traces.
"This."
Roy took out Murasame.
"Is it the same as your greatsword?"
"Does it have special properties?"
Recalling Roy's Evil Spirit Possession, Tsunade couldn't help but ask.
"Mm."
"This blade is named Murasame."
"According to the notes left by my parents, this is a cursed blade imbued with the power of an Evil Spirit."
"As long as one is attacked by the blade and their skin is cut, the Evil Spirit will take their life."
Roy explained.
Of course, he would only dare to say such things to Tsunade.
Not only because Tsunade was his teacher, but also because of Tsunade's upright character.
Even if she knew the longsword in Roy's hand was extraordinary, she wouldn't try to snatch it.
"It's similar to an incurable poison, very good."
"Your physical condition, combined with these two special Ninja blades, is enough to allow you to face some ordinary dangers on the battlefield."
"Go back and rest well. Tomorrow, you'll depart with Sakumo Hatake for the front lines."
Tsunade said, then left with Roy.
As for Shizune, Tsunade picked her up and headed towards the Senju Clan Grounds.
Upon arriving at the Senju Clan Grounds, they found Sakumo Hatake already there.
"Lady Tsunade, I still have some doubts I'd like to ask about."
Sakumo Hatake looked helpless.
With Sarutobi Shinnosuke going, the completion rate of this mission would essentially drop by half.
Although he was the Hokage's son, Sarutobi Shinnosuke was too weak.
And, he was very arrogant.
"Let's go, come inside first."
Tsunade finished speaking, then led everyone into the courtyard.
After placing Shizune on the bed, she went to the living room.
Seeing Roy was also there, Tsunade didn't say much.
She knew Roy wanted to understand the situation on the battlefield.
"Lady Tsunade, is there any way to prevent Sarutobi Shinnosuke from going?"
"Even if I go alone, there's a greater chance of completing the mission."
Sakumo Hatake expressed his thoughts.
"Take him along. If you encounter danger, just kill him directly, then complete the mission and come back, couldn't you?"
Roy said, somewhat puzzled.
Sakumo Hatake shouldn't even have such a question.
If it were Roy, and that guy still wanted to go along, that would be simply too good.
Just kill him halfway and say he was killed by the Kazekage.
Then, bestow upon him the title of Konoha hero, saying that without his heroic sacrifice, the mission couldn't have been completed.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, even if resentful, wouldn't be able to utter a single word.
"Kill him?"
"Roy, you..."
Tsunade originally wanted to scold him, but then she thought of the problem within it.
Indeed, for Sakumo Hatake, this was the best solution.
Otherwise, if the mission failed and he returned to the village again.
At that time, the pressure Sakumo Hatake would have to bear would be no less than this time.
"No, harming a comrade is not allowed."
Sakumo Hatake was an upright person and would not allow himself to do such a thing.
"Take him along. This time, whether you can complete the mission or not, just act as if you are moving alone."
"If he exposes himself or falls into danger, you only need to follow the mission procedures."
Tsunade wouldn't go so far as to say to kill Sarutobi Shinnosuke, but she also wouldn't allow the mission to fail because of him again.
"That's the only way."
"I'll head back now. See you tomorrow."
Sakumo Hatake stood up, thanked Tsunade, and then left.
"The Medical Ninjutsu you currently possess is only Elementary Healing Technique, and that strange regeneration Ninjutsu."
"I'll teach you some basic Medical Ninjutsu. Memorize it first."
"Then, slowly get used to it."
...
Two hours later, Roy lay on his bed.
Beside him was Shizune, who was already asleep.
That's right, because they were both children, and Tsunade was a lazy person.
Cleaning one room was already an unprecedented feat.
"System, panel!"
With a thought, Roy summoned his panel.

After looking at the system panel, Roy was not in a hurry to open the gift packs.
Ten consecutive draws yield good items, and Roy also noticed a problem.
That was, his own Chakra was too low.
"Begin, Chakra extraction."
Running the Ambidextrous Hands cultivation method, Roy slowly entered a state of cultivation.
