Chapter 52 - Chie

On behalf of Tetsui

All my students were standing in front of me... beaten, bruised and bruised.

Someone was slightly injured, someone stood out only because he was completely whole, except for the pallor on his face.

All of them passed my exam, although it was not an exam to call it, rather the test would have sounded better.

In fact, I didn't have a goal to fail them, on the contrary, I wanted each of them to graduate, because I know that each of them is ready to become a genin, if not a chunin.

The whole point of the exam was to prepare them for war. Prepare for murder.

There, on the battlefield, you can die at any moment, and worries and extra emotions will further reduce the chances of survival.

I created this training ground in order to put them in the most harsh and hostile environment.

I want them to breathe a sigh of relief when they arrive on the battlefield, because it can't get any worse.

All this became possible thanks to the captured nukenins, may they rest in peace, and the technique with which I created a live training ground.

All this time, I literally controlled every piece of this forest in order to put as much pressure on each student as possible, but without excesses, I still did not want to cripple them, both mentally and physically.

All of them are smiling now, despite their fatigue... if they only knew that everything they went through was just a carefully planned performance…

Although baby Kushina tried to interfere with me in this, saving everyone and everyone ... therefore, everyone who was with her faced increased difficulty, because she was there.

Therefore, everyone who was injured was in a group with Kushina when the singles got off with bruises.

Okay, it's time to reward them.

– Okay, all of you have passed my exam, let's go to a restaurant and celebrate it. I said with a smile and used one of my new techniques.

A wave of chakra burst out of my body and enveloped the bodies of the guys, quickly healed all their injuries, and also relieved fatigue.

Instantly their smiles became much more cheerful.

– You are cool as always, Sensei! –

– As expected from our teacher! –

I rolled my eyes – No need to suck up, I'll pay the whole bill without it… Besides, you know that the war has begun and most likely not everyone will return from it, and therefore I want you to enjoy this day. –

The mention of the war may have been superfluous since some of the smiles disappeared from their faces, but what can we do, this is the reality…

A few days later.

A few days have passed.

My students, along with their new teachers, went to war, all except Kushina.

I just insisted that Kushina become a student of Mito, because she was a former jinchuriki. In general, Mito and Kushina went to Uzushio together on a diplomatic mission.

Jiraya became the teacher of Minato and two other guys from my class. Here we can say the canon was observed, although he did not know what else he could teach the blonde, but what to do, he volunteered to become a sensei.

I was close to reaching the so-called third level of hiraishin, when suddenly a flying falcon came into my field of vision.

It was such falcons that were usually used to transmit information.

Swooping down, the bird quickly flew up to me and sat on my shoulder, rubbing its head contentedly against mine.

Yes, it is not the first time I have received messages from this bird that it has become almost tame after I have fed it…

– Nuka, nuka ... – I said softly to myself, taking the message and feeding the bird, which began to eat with a satisfied look.

We open the scroll… Yeah, Sakumo needed me… Apparently something serious, I don't think he will call me for some trifle.

Closing my eyes, I felt the seal I had left on Sakumo…

From the third person.

A day has passed since Sakumo settled down at the front.

A lot of preparations have already been made, plans have been developed, but suddenly a man, one might say a diplomat, came from the side of Sunagakure.

Now this diplomat was in the commander's tent of Sakumo, and the owner of the tent himself was looking at the diplomat with a lean face.

Shoulder-length lavender hair, black eyes... the woman looked pretty good, but she didn't have enough stars from the sky.

– We've been sitting like this for half an hour ... – she said slowly, with venom in her voice – You said that he would arrive quickly. –

Glancing at the diplomat, Sakumo exhaled heavily – Only the flight of the bird to Konoha will take about half an hour… –

– Pf, our birds could have done it in twenty minutes. – she said with disdain, folding her arms on her chest and looking at Sakumo like a wolf.

The man just exhaled again, not paying attention to this look and rather contemptible tone ... in fact, Sakumo was amazed at the endurance of this woman, yet he brought her a lot of grief…

Suddenly, Tetsuya appeared behind Sakumo, absolutely noiselessly. There were no flashes, no sound, as if he had become a ghost.

Sakumo's heart skipped a beat when he suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder.

The front commander was about to attack sharply, but then Tetsuya patted him on the shoulder – Relax, it's me. –

– Well, you scared me ... – wiped the sweat from Sakumo's forehead – Is this how this technique should work? –

– Who knows. – the hero shrugged his shoulders, smiled mysteriously and looked at the woman, who tried her best to show that she was not surprised by such a quick arrival.

– I didn't think you were so handsome ... – she winked – Do you mind spending a few nights with me? –

Tetsuya clearly saw that this was a joke... "Sorry, I'm not attracted to women playing with dolls. –

Scratching the back of his head, Sakumo said – Tetsuya, this woman is the reason I called you, her name is…–

– I know who she is. Tetsuya–Chiyo, the master of irenjutsu and kugutsu, shook his head. –

– It's an honor for me to know that you've heard a lot about me. Chiyo grinned cheekily.

– You didn't just call me, did you? Tetsuya sat down at the table.

– No, not just like that, tell him. Sakumo closed his eyes.

– I'm here with an invitation from the third Kazekage. – Chie spread her hands – He wants to talk to you. –

"With me?" Tetsuya was surprised.

– Yes, with you. –

– You are aware that there is a war going on between us, right? –

– Yeah. –

– And you came here to invite me to your village so that I could talk to your leader? –

- Yes. –

– And why? Why does Kazekage need this conversation? – the hero tapped his finger on the table.

– We don't want this war. – sighed Chiyo – Kazekage wants to discuss a peaceful solution to problems. –

–Even so..." Tetsuya glanced at the frowning Sakumo, then looked at Chiyo again, "And what makes you think I'll agree?" –

"Because you were able to stop the combined army of the three villages?" – she said questioningly, grinning. "Who else would dare to go to the enemy's village besides you?" –

A few seconds of silence…

– I'm not a Kage. Tetsuya leaned back in his chair, "It's not for me to discuss the world with you. –

– Yes, but you are far from the last figure in the village, far from the most… Besides, it is almost impossible to hold negotiations between our Kages at the moment, and I would like to end this war before someone's blood is shed. –

Tetsuya stared at the ceiling for about ten seconds in silence, and then said, "Okay, I agree to talk. –

– Tetsuya! Sakumo exclaimed, clearly surprised by such a rapid development of events – It could be a trap! –

– I know. – the hero calmly replied – But we both understand that even without the thunder god's technique, nothing shines for them, right? –

– Haaa, okay, I'll notify the Hokage for now. –

– That's good. – the hero patted Sakumo on the shoulder and going up to Chiyo said – Lead on. –

– Great! – Chiyo smiled and went to the exit of the tent – Goodbye Sakumo, I hope you will die soon. – she said goodbye with a smile and left.

–She definitely has her own personality..." Tetsuya said softly, following her.
