"Right…right," Shizune suddenly realized. "Tsunade-sama, you are the woman who is called the legendary sucker because you have never won. Why this time…"

With a thud, just as she finished speaking, the door of the office was pushed open with force, and Kakashi rushed in. "Hokage-sama! Information has been sent back from the Sand Village!"

"Hurry up and tell me!" Tsunade was extremely anxious.

"On the way to support the pursuers, the Sand Village Anbu discovered… discovered…" Kakashi was suddenly stuck when he said this.

Tsunade was anxious. "What did you find? Tell me!"

Kakashi was silent for a while before gritting his teeth and continuing, "We found the body of Gekkou Hayate and the charred remains of Chiyo. They have been… killed by the invaders…"

Tsunade collapsed directly on the chair, her pupils trembling.

"How, how could it be…" Shizune next to her turned pale.

"The body of Gekkou Hayate is on its way back to Konoha. As for Uzuki Yugao…" Kakashi frowned. "Uzuki Yugao's body was not found at the scene. Her legs are broken. She may not be dead, but was just abducted by the invaders."

Hearing this, Tsunade's eyes lit up. "Uzuki Yugao was not killed? Great! At least one of them survived!"

"Don't be too happy yet. Although she was not killed, she was captured by the invaders. Her fate will not be good. She might be tortured for information about Konoha," Kakashi said gloomily. "The methods used by the invaders to torture for information may be more cruel than those of our Anbu."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade's hope that had just been ignited was extinguished again. "That's right. As a ninja, being captured alive by the enemy is not necessarily a good thing. At this time… what should I do… what can I do?…"

"Lady Tsunade, we should do our best to search for the whereabouts of the invaders. Even if we can't save the Kazekage, we must ensure that we can save Uzuki Yugao," Kakashi said in a deep voice. "I am willing to lead a search team! I volunteer to accept this mission!"

"Kakashi, you…" Tsunade hesitated.

Kakashi said affirmatively, "Uzuki Yugao is my junior. As a senior, I cannot watch my junior fall into the hands of the enemy. Moreover, if Uzuki Yugao is captured, she may reveal Konoha's information. It is reasonable for me to rescue her. Isn't this my duty as a Konoha ninja?"

"This…" Tsunade was speechless.

Kakashi continued, "I used to work in both the Anbu and the Root departments. Although it may sound a bit proud to say this, my combat experience must be richer than most of the ninjas in Konoha now. Only I can carry out such a dangerous mission. Lady Tsunade, please agree!"

Tsunade closed her eyes and thought, then sighed after a moment, "I understand, Kakashi, I'll leave this mission to you."

"Yes!" Kakashi responded. "I will definitely complete the task."

"As for your team members… you can choose them by yourself. If you need anything, you can contact me at any time. Konoha will definitely give you timely support." Tsunade's face was extremely solemn. "I only have one request, you must rescue Uzuki Yugao!"

...

Hidden Rain Village.

In Hitani's room.

Uzuki Yugao had just finished her shower, sitting on one side of the sofa with wet hair, her eyes a little dull.

Hitani sat on the other side, looking at her calmly. "Your mental state seems to be very bad. If you have any thoughts of committing suicide, I will use ghost arts to restrict your actions. When I don't allow you to die, your life and death will be controlled by me."

Uzuki Yugao raised her head, her eyes full of resentment. "Traitor! No matter what you do to me, I will never surrender to you! If you don't kill me, sooner or later I will personally send you to the dungeon of Konoha Anbu!"

"The dungeon of the Anbu? I can't be held in that kind of place," Hitani shrugged. "By the way, Konoha should know about your capture by now. What do you think your Hokage Tsunade will do?"

Uzuki Yugao was stunned. "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, I guess Tsunade will definitely send someone to rescue you. With Tsunade's personality, she will not sit idly by and watch her subordinates being abducted by the enemy," Hitani smiled and said. "But who will she send to rescue you? I guess it could be one of Kakashi, Might Guy, Sarutobi Asuma, or Yuhi Kurenai. They are all your predecessors and experienced old ninjas. Only they can complete such a difficult task with confidence."

"You, what do you want to do?" Uzuki Yugao noticed something unusual.

"I want to meet your friends, just like Gekkou Hayate." Hitani picked up the Zanpakuto on the table and said, "Let's make a bet. If the people who come to support you can come back alive, I will let you go. If I kill them, you will stay here honestly. How about that?"
