Chapter 214 - 212: Hoping Naruto Doesn’t Get Involved

Chapter 214: Chapter 212: Hoping Naruto Doesn’t Get Involved

"What?! War? Who started it? Kumogakure?"

Kano was somewhat confused, but there was no fear in her heart.

"I’m not sure either. In any case, it’s a very urgent matter. You’ll understand once you see Lady Tsunade."

"Alright, I hope it’s nothing too serious."

Kano followed Shizune to the Hokage Office. Arriving with her were Kakashi, Guy, Asuma, and a group of other Jonin.

"Is it really okay for a Genin kid like me to be mixed in with this group of Jonin?"

"Yo, Kano! Long time no see. Have you not been eating properly? You haven’t grown much in height."

Guy greeted everyone enthusiastically, including Kano, of course.

"Even if she hasn’t been eating well, she’s certainly making money by the handful."

Kakashi also teased Kano.

Looking at the Jonin arriving one after another...

The group of Jonin also realized the gravity of the situation, but they all chatted with each other while waiting for everyone to arrive to ease the atmosphere.

When the last person finally arrived, Tsunade finally spoke.

"Late last night, we received a report. Moryo, who was sealed in the underground palace, has been resurrected, and the Ghost Legion has already launched an attack.

Our country is also cooperating with other nations to deal with this incident."

Tsunade then explained to everyone the origins of Moryo, as well as—

"Moryo’s resurrection?! Why? Hasn’t Naruto not returned yet? Why would this timeline be pushed forward?"

"Kano, do you know something?"

Tsunade frowned and stared at the small Kano, trying hard to recall what she had been up to lately.

"Don’t blame me! In the past two years, I haven’t left the Village except for the Chunin Exams. No matter how you look at it, I couldn’t have done it!"

"I didn’t say I was blaming you. It’s just that your information network spans the entire Ninja World, so I wanted to ask if you knew any inside details."

Actually, Tsunade really had wondered if Kano was behind it.

"Regarding this, the Akatsuki are also unaware. I only know that the person who resurrected Moryo is named ’Huang’ something. He used his own body to revive Moryo and has four followers who are quite capable in combat. Then there’s the Ghost Legion you mentioned, Master."

Kano tried hard to recall the contents of the movie. It had been too long, and her memory was a bit fuzzy, but she remembered one thing: the movie’s title was ’The Death of Naruto’.

Perhaps it would be better if Naruto wasn’t around; that way, there would be no possibility of his death.

"Putting aside the fact that Moryo possesses the power to destroy the entire world for a moment—do you know what the combat strength of those four followers is?"

"Ordinary Ninjas on drugs. My friends are more than enough to handle them."

"The information you’ve provided is very important. We will proceed according to the original plan. Everyone present is an elite of Konoha Village; your task is to go to the front lines to block the Ghost Legion’s advance.

Kano and Shizune will stay behind. Everyone else, move out!"

At her command, some left through the door, some through the windows, some through the ventilation ducts, some used Substitution Jutsu, and some had simply sent a Shadow Clone to listen to the mission.

"I say, can’t you guys just use the door like normal people?"

Tsunade sighed helplessly, then looked at Kano.

"The two of you will be responsible for the support work for the front-line operations. You’ve trained many medical Ninjas over the past two years. Kano hasn’t participated in a proper field mission for two years; she’s been performing the whole time.

Normally, I shouldn’t have you jump into such a dangerous mission right away, but this is an emergency, and your strength is indeed at an elite level.

As for the matter with Obito during this mission, you don’t need to worry. I’ll personally keep an eye on her, just like during the Chunin Exams."

Shizune, who was standing to the side, took the opportunity to tease her.

"Among your peers, you’re the only one who didn’t pass the last Chunin Exams. Have you forgotten your basic Ninja skills because you’ve been singing and dancing all the time?"

"I failed on purpose! On purpose! If I wanted to pass, I definitely could have, okay?"

"Hehe, I don’t believe you."

Even Tsunade couldn’t help but feel that Kano’s appearance was far too deceptive. If she hadn’t been beaten by her personally, she wouldn’t have dared to imagine that this child—who was already 15 but still only as tall as a Ninja Academy graduate—possessed Kage-level combat power.

"Shizune, you’ve worked with Kano for two years now. Do you still not know her true strength?"

"I’ve never seen her fight, okay? Besides seeing her sing and dance on screen, she’s just been in the school teaching students singing, dancing, and Genjutsu.
