"Sarutobi Asuma met two members of the Akatsuki organization when he was carrying out his mission. At present, it is determined that Asuma has died." Tsunade bit her lips lightly, there was a trace of anger in her eyes. She knew Asuma's strength, Asuma shouldn't have died.
Another loss due to the Akatsuki.
The Akatsuki organization is really a bunch of bastards who like to make trouble.
Tsunade blamed herself very much, because she was responsible for the task this time. She sent Asuma to lead the tenth squad to the fire temple to carry out the mission.
The difficulty of the task is at level B. It stands to reason that with Asuma's strength, he can easily complete this task.
But she never expected that he would encounter the Akatsuki.
And there were two of them.
"Is Asuma dead?"
The faces of all the ninjas present changed drastically. They widened their eyes and looked at Tsunade with an expression of disbelief.
Asuma is very strong, and he is considered a leader among the Elite Jonins. When he was young, he was even famous in the Land of Fire as one of the Twelve Guardian ninja.
An elite shinobi of this level will lose to the Akatsuki?
The members of the so-called Akatsuki organization seem to be stronger than imagined.
(T.L Note: Before Pain razed Konoha to the ground, other nations except Sunagakure didn't viewed them as very dangerous. Only after the subsequent events of Gaara's (Fifth Kazekage) kidnapping, Konoha's destruction and Killer Bee's disappearance, the Kages decided to confront them)
"The Akatsuki members are very naughty." Satoru took out a lollipop, unpacked it and threw it into his mouth, rubbing his chin with a thoughtful attitude.
The members of the Akatsuki organization that Asuma encountered should be Hidan and Kakuzu, right?
Certainly.
It is also possible that by some mistake, he encountered another member of the Akatsuki organization.
Asuma is his long-term meal ticket. Every time he has no money, he will cheat Asuma to treat him to high-end barbecue and sukiyaki.
Asuma died in battle, Satoru also felt a little sad.
"Asuma-sensei...it's all my fault. If I hadn't been caught by the enemy, Asuma-sensei wouldn't..." Choji knelt on the ground, crying with snot and tears. He blamed himself very much because he was caught by the enemy, which ultimately caused Asuma'd death in battle.
"Choji..." Ino's face was gloomy, and her heart ached like being pierced by a knife. She respected Asuma very much, and in the end Asuma sacrificed himself to hold back the enemy so that they could escape.
If the tenth squad had retreated as soon as they found the enemy, then Asuma could have also retreated.
The tenth squad was holding back Asuma completely, which lead to the Asuma's death.
Shikamaru was expressionless, and stepped forward to report respectfully, "Hokage-sama, the names of the two Akatsuki members are Kakuzu and Hidan."
He looked calm on the surface, but in fact the hand in which he was holding a lighter firmly was shaking.
"According to Asuma-sensei's analysis of the battle situation, the member of the Akatsuki organization named Hidan seems to be immortal."
"Hidan can forcibly connect with people through blood. After Hidan is injured, the connected person will also suffer the same injury." Shikamaru's voice was choked, but he forcibly suppressed the grief in his heart, reporting all the information about this mission.
All the ninjas at the scene were stunned. A member of the Akatsuki organization named Hidan can forcibly connect with people through blood,
Hidan can share the injury with his enemies with whom he connected through blood.
And Hidan is still immortal?
This kind of ability is outrageous!
No wonder someone as strong as Asuma would lose to Hidan from the Akatsuki.
Tsunade asked, "What about the one called Kakuzu?"
Shikamaru said, "Kakuzu did not show his ability."
Ino cried and accused, "Shikamaru, Asuma-sensei is already...why are you still so calm?!"
After Asuma died in battle, Shikamaru was able to calmly analyze the enemy's intelligence.
This calm attitude is unbelievable to her.
"Ino, Shikamaru is sadder than us." Choji wiped away his tears, looking at the angry Ino.
He is the person who knows Shikamaru the best, so he knows that Shikamaru is sadder than anyone else now.
But to avenge Asuma, he can only put away all emotions and calmly analyze the enemy's intelligence.
"As above, Hokage-sama. I'll go back and treat the wounds first." Shikamaru remained expressionless till he turned and left while holding the lighter.
"Everyone do your best to investigate the whereabouts of the members of the Akatsuki organization. Don't engage with them after discovering them or any clues, but report to me immediately." Tsunade ordered with a very serious attitude.
Whether it is for the village or for Asuma, the members of Akatsuki must pay a painful price!
"Yes!"
All the ninjas present quickly left.
…
In the attic.
Shikamaru leaned against the door, lit the lighter in his hand, looking at the burning flames with grief in his eyes.
He couldn't suppress the grief in his heart any longer, he covered his face and wept in a low voice.
"Asuma-sensei." Shikamaru sat on the ground, leaning against the cold door, covering his tearful eyes, recalling all the previous experiences.
He knew that with his current strength, there was absolutely no way to defeat those two members of the Akatsuki organization.
So he could only endure hatred and grief, calmly analyze the enemy's intelligence, and then hand it over to the strong ninjas in the village.
"Cry with all your strength, you might feel better." Satoru appeared out of thin air, leaning his back against the iron railing of the corridor, looking at Shikamaru who was crying bitterly.
"Satoru-sensei… Asuma-sensei was still worried about our safety even at his last moments." Shikamaru cried.
Before Asuma died, without the slightest fear of death, he was telling the tenth squad.
Don't think about anything, just run away.
"Is that so?" Satoru sucked the lollipop lightly. He had been in contact with the tenth squad many times, and every time he had lunch, all the members were there.
"Remember this weakness, it will make you stronger," Satoru pointed at Shikamaru's heart with a lollipop, "I will give you a piece of advice as a sensei."
"Life is more valuable than hatred, don't die blinded by hatred, do what you can."
He likes Shikamaru, so he opened his mouth to say a few words.
"Don't worry, Satoru-sensei, I will avenge Asuma-sensei to the best of my ability." Shikamaru closed the lighter and looked up at Satoru seriously.
His life was saved by Asuma, so he must work hard to live for Asuma.
"Satoru-sensei, I heard that ten million ryo is required for you to perform a mission." Shikamaru put away his grief and looked at Satoru seriously.
He had heard from Asuma-sensei that Satoru is the most special ninja in the village, even Hokage has no right to send Satoru to perform tasks.
Only way is to add money.
Ten million ryo.
"Oh? Brat, are you going to hire me?" Satoru was interested.
"I don't have ten million, but I can earn it. This is the deposit for you now, and I will pay it to you slowly." Shikamaru took out a coin.
"How long?" Satoru asked.
"Three years." Shikamaru thought for a moment, and said firmly, "In three years, I will give you ten million ryo."
Satoru frowned slightly, it was easy to deal with the members of Akatsuki because he knew everyone's weaknesses, but three years was too long.
Tazuna still owes him his task fees.
In fact, it's okay to accept this task, Hidan and Kakuzu are both S-level rebels, and each of them has a reward of hundreds of millions.
This mission can earn him a lot of money.
And Hidan's ability is very interesting, he really wants to see it in real life.
Satoru picked up the coin and smiled slightly, "Deal, I have accepted your task."
"But there is a premise."
"Please tell me." Shikamaru said.
"You and Shikaku are responsible for completing all the work of Tsuna-chan about managing the village on her behalf." Satoru said.
Shikaku and Shikamaru, father and son, not only have the ability to help her manage the village but also have the ability to replace Tsunade to complete all her works.
After Tsunade has more time, he can be with Tsunade every day.
"I promise." said Shikamaru, who still doesn't realize just how ridiculous Hokage's daily workload is.
"Very well, wait for the good news." Satoru smiled.
At this time, the other side of the door.
"Idiot." Tsunade leaned against the door, eavesdropping on the conversation between the two, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and a warm current rose in her heart.
She knew that Satoru was not interested in avenging Asuma's death, it was all for the bounty on the Akatsuki members' head and earning ten million from Shikamaru.
By the way, Shikaku and Shikamaru father and son will replace her to complete all the work of Hokage every day.
Shikaku is very aware of how much Hokage's workload is. If he knew that his son agreed to such a demand, he would be very speechless, right?
But no one can break the contract made with Satoru, so after the father and son learned that they were cheated, they could only grit their teeth and endure.
