"I can't fall behind on Chakra training either."

The next day, Nagasawa, who felt drained, sighed.

Yesterday, in order to make that sentence for Nono, he conjured dozens of shadow clones.

A part of the shadow clones used the fire escape, and some shadow clones used the Sun Breathing to direct and then form the flame letters that the whole Konoha could see.

After dispersing all the shadow clones later, his body instantly felt drained, and the fatigue was amplified dozens of times, making him really exhausted.

Shadow Clone Technique was indeed amazing. If your shadow clones did nothing, it wouldn't wear the user out or consume a lot of Chakra. However, if your shadow clone did exhausting labor or anything that consumed a lot of Chakra, you'll feel the fatigue once the shadow clone dispersed.

When he arrived at the Anbu base, Kakashi was monitoring Nagasawa. Today, his shift was over, and it was Ensui's turn to guard Kushina.

Sensing Kakashi, who seemed to be up to no good, Nagasawa decisively flashed behind Kakashi and smacked his white-haired head.

"What are you planning? You didn't even erase your presence, just like when you're hiding on the roof yesterday. You should step up your training."

This familiar pain reminded Kakashi of the horror of Color of Observation Haki's training, so he quickly cast away his distracting thoughts and began to practice Six Forms with his group.

He was not Inuzuka Green, who enjoyed getting smacked.

Kakashi didn't want to go to see Hanabira with a swollen face. Last week, he had to perform an escort mission, so it had been a week since he last visited Hanabira, and he planned to go to her house after training today.

After teaching Kakashi a lesson, Nagasawa checked how all the groups were doing. The first monthly assessment was about to take place, and Minato would observe at that time.

Nagasawa didn't want the training team to screw up right off the bat, so he kept track of all teams' progress.

After patrolling around and confirming that all the teams were doing fine, Nagasawa went to the Hokage Building.

He was going to talk to Minato about bringing Tsunade back to the village.

Tsunade's return to the village was an important part in order to minimize the danger of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's attack.

Maybe Konoha Hospital had other Jōnin who were proficient in medical ninjutsu, but they were nowhere close to Tsunade.

In Nagasawa's view, there were only two types of Medical-nin in the Shinobi World, the first was Tsunade, and the other was Medical-nin that wasn't Tsunade.

Knocking on the door of Hokage's office, Nagasawa walked in.

Seeing that it was Nagasawa, Minato put down the paperwork in his hand and joked with a smile: "What's the matter? Are you going to make a 'Nono is the cutest in the world' today? You really put me in trouble, you know. Yesterday, Kushina asked me to make one, too. You know that my Fire Release is not as strong as yours, right? "

Nagasawa scratched his head a little embarrassedly, but as usual, he teased Minato back: "You should bring about a hundred or so Shinobi who could use Fire Release, then have them cooperate together to create those words. Even if it won't be near as good as mine, the result shouldn't be that bad."

Minato shook his head and said with a smile, "If I ever use my authority as Hokage for that, I'm afraid Elder Danzo will be so excited that he can't sleep and eventually write a speech to condemn me."

"Since he disbanded the root, he has been glaring at me so much that he can't wait to find any mistake I made."

Hearing Minato's words, Nagasawa just laughed. That just went to show how anxious Danzo was.

"He might post it as a mission, maybe it will become a major feature of Konoha in the future."

After saying this, Nagasawa's face became serious. His smile disappeared as he said to Minato: "Minato, I want Tsunade-sama to return to the village."

Minato looked at Nagasawa's serious face and knew that Nagasawa had entered his work mode, not his usual carefree self anymore.

After pondering for a moment, Minato raised his head and said, "Tsunade-sama is really important to Konoha. She is the founder of Konoha's Medical-nin system, after all."

Tsunade was a fellow Sannin, along with his teacher, Jiraiya. Minato seemed to respect him very much. Even if he was a Hokage, he still used –sama to address her.

"But whether she returns to the village or not depends on her wish, and I can't force her after all that happened."

Tsunade's younger brother Nawaki and his lover Dan Kato both died in the war.

Dan Kato died in front of Tsunade, which brought great pain to Tsunade that she even developed hemophobia.

Minato asked himself, what if Kushina died in front of him? Let alone hemophobia, he might commit suicide on the spot.

Minato couldn't imagine the day when he lost Kushina. It was too terrifying, he couldn't bear it.

"I will find a way to persuade her to come back, but Minato, you have to pinpoint her location first," Nagasawa said after a brief pause.

To be honest, he wasn't 100% sure whether he could persuade Tsunade back.

After all, unlike Naruto, he was not that good with his mouth.

But if Tsunade didn't come back, he would forcefully bring her back if he had to.

In order to ensure Kushina's safety, Tsunade was indispensable.

Once the night of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's attack was over, he wouldn't care where Tsunade planned to go. He would even give her a lot of money to gamble.

But before the night of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's attack, Tsunade would have to stay in Konoha for a while.

Minato nodded and said, "I will send some Shinobi to look for any news regarding Tsunade-sama, and I'll let you know when I get the news."

"But you seem to be in a hurry to bring Tsunade-sama back to the village. Is there something wrong?" Minato asked.

Although Tsunade was very useful, Tsunade was not really essential for Konoha at the moment.

Thinking of Tsunade's superb medical Ninjutsu, Minato thought that something might happen to Nagasawa or someone close to him.

Nagasawa looked into Minato's eyes and asked a question that others would find somewhat inexplicable.

"Do you believe me?"

Minato nodded without hesitation and smiled: "Of course, I believe you, I don't think you will do anything bad to me, Nagasawa."

"If I say that Konoha may be in a crisis soon, you and Kushina will be in danger because of it, so I'm bringing Tsunade back, do you believe it?"

"I believe you." Minato put away his smile, and his face became serious.

"Will it be during childbirth?" Minato asked in a deep voice.

That was the first moment that came to Minato's mind.

"Yeah." Nagasawa nodded.

"I will make sure to find Tsunade-sama as soon as possible." Minato did not ask where Nagasawa got that information.

There are many magical things in the Shinobi World. It is not impossible to predict the future. He only knew that there was a Great Toad sage from Mount Myoboku who could predict the future, and Minato did not want to pry into Nagasawa's secret too much.
