Chapter 1212: committed to

"Sasuke..."
Sakura suddenly sat up on the stone chair and let out a cry of exclamation. The dazzling sun fell in the morning. Although it was approaching autumn, the weather had not yet turned cold.
"En?" Holding a thick ninja let out a doubt, keenly aware that something is wrong.
...
There was a knock on the door, and Tsunade, who was lying on the table, sat up quickly and said, "Please come in."
Two ninjas holding thick books entered and quickly put down the books in their hands. One of them humanely said, "Hokage-sama, I have something to report. On the way, we found Sakura sleeping on a stone chair by the road. What he said, Sasuke seems to..."
Quickly telling the matter, Tsunade's gaze narrowed slightly, and he whispered, "Speaking of which, did Sasuke go to Otonin Village?"
She thought for a while, and immediately said, "What about the enchantment class, what are those guys doing? Isn't it strictly forbidden to enter and leave Konoha Village at night? Didn't they even notice that Sasuke left? Ask them to come and see me immediately. In addition, go and help me. Nara Shikamaru found it."
"Yes!"
Soon after, Nara Shikamaru appeared in Hokage's room. Tsunade interlaced his hands on the table and said, "Shikamaru, there is an urgent task for you. You immediately summon people out of the village and chase Uchiha Sasuke back to me."
"Uchiha Sasuke?" Shikamaru cried out strangely, still not figuring out what happened.
Tsunade nodded and said, "Yes, Uchiha Sasuke left the village last night. I have checked with the enchantment team. They don’t know where they got the information on the enchantment of Konoha Village. Leave this alone. , I will investigate the responsibility of the enchantment class later.
Sasuke's destination should be Otonin Village, so I am afraid that he was invited by Otoshimaru. "
"What?" Shikamaru was surprised, "Wait...wait, how could this happen suddenly? How could Sasuke be invited by such a dangerous guy, and why would he agree to the invitation."
Tsunade said, "Don’t worry about that much, Shikamaru. Time is running out. The only person who can be transferred is now that you are the most reliable. So this time I want you to lead the team, because the previous Ninja test was interrupted because of changes. No one has promoted Zhongnin once. If you can complete this mission, you will be specially promoted to Zhongnin after returning to the village."
"Sounds great, but it's troublesome. Let me make sure. Is there anyone else around Sasuke?" Shikamaru complained, but asked dutifully.
"Ah, because there should be Otonin under Oshamaru. According to the report of the enchantment team, they sent people to investigate carefully. In addition to Sasuke, there are four chakras. As for whether there are other hidden ninjas outside the village, just I don't know for now."
Shikamaru stunned, "Is that so, the danger is very great, why not let a few Shangnin team up, or Nakanin go and chase Sasuke back?"
Tsunade smiled bitterly, "There is no way, now the village is short of manpower, most of the Shangren and Zhongren have been sent out to perform tasks, only you can mobilize, so this time I will leave it to you. After Shikamaru, you have 30 minutes to summon the Shinnin who you think is reliable, and you will leave immediately after 30 minutes."
"..." Shikamaru stood there and whispered, "It's really embarrassing, but since it's Hokage's order, I can only bite the bullet."
After speaking, he turned and left, already thinking about whom to find.
Seeing Shikamaru leaving, Tsunade's gaze suddenly darkened, and she lay down on the Hokage chair, turned around and looked at Hokage Rock, she whispered, "Oshemaru, it's finally time to do it, Li Lu Xuan The great change that Uncle said is getting closer."
The reason why she asked Shikamaru to take up the task, at the beginning, did not think of chasing Sasuke back.
Konoha Village is currently short of manpower, but as the strongest existence in the five major villages, it is impossible that even a few Shangren can be recruited. Even if Shangren is really performing tasks, it is not in the village, and there are many Anbe masters. , She did not mention it either.
Before she knew it, she recalled the plan Xuan had said to her that day, and after a while, she muttered to herself in a voice that only she could hear, "I am really looking forward to it."
...
Thirty minutes later, at the gate of Konoha Village, five ninja figures gathered.
In addition to Nara Shikamaru, there are four others: Uzumaki Naruto, Inuzuka Toa, Akimi Mitsuji and Hyuga Neji.
Here, Naruto's strength has been universally recognized, and he is known as the strongest of this generation. In addition, his relationship with Sasuke is well known. Shikamaru was the first to think of him.
However, Naruto's interest was not high at this time, and his face was gloomy and terrible. Shikamaru and others had never seen such an expression on his face.
There were not many words to follow. Shikamaru quickly explained the chasing formation. After everyone confirmed the endurance, Shikamaru waved, "Go!"
"Wait!" There was a sudden voice, and the five turned around, only to see a red-clothed Sakura quickly running over.
Shikamaru said, "Sakura, Hokage has already told me about you. Sorry, we can’t take you with you. You didn’t persuade Sasuke last night. It doesn’t help to go together now. You can bring Sasuke back. There are only us now."
"Huh?" Naruto was dazed, and said quickly: "Sakura, did you see Sasuke last night?"
Tears fell involuntarily, and Sakura whispered, "Naruto, I'm sorry, I failed to persuade Sasuke, now only you can save him and bring him back, please, please bring Sasuke back. ."
Naruto looked at Sakura at this time, breathed out slowly and closed his eyes. After a while, he showed a cheerful smile that belongs to him and said, "Sakura, I understand how you feel now. You like Sasuke, don't you? I can feel, rest assured, I will definitely bring him back, this is my promise to you!"
Stretching a thumb to Sakura, Naruto's body seemed to shine with dazzling light. Sakura looked at this scene dullly, and was inexplicably relieved, like walking into a shelter in a blizzard and grabbing it after drowning The last straw.
"Sakura, just wait in Konoha with peace of mind. Sasuke is from our seventh class. I will definitely bring him back."
In the decisive tone, there was an unprecedented determination. The next moment, Naruto leaped into the distance first, and the others quickly followed.
