Because Asuma's injuries require rest, and Haori himself has reported important information, putting him in a state of being questioned at any time, Team Haori has temporarily stayed at the headquarters.
As for their reconnaissance mission, there is a rotation system in place, and naturally, other teams will take their place. No matter how experienced a team is, ninjas are not machines after all. No one can maintain a high level of mental tension for a long time to perform that kind of mission.
So, Haori has been free for a few days, doing some research, practicing Water Release, etc.
Of course, he wasn't free for a few days because the information he brought back was major news involving the international situation, and it also had something to do with the diplomatic side of things.
Jiraiya probably immediately sent this news as an urgent express package using Ninjutsu Communication. After the news returned to Konoha, it was directly delivered to the Third Hokage.
Then, Haori had to return to Konoha soon.
He was quite open about this kind of trouble. He'll go back if he has to. After all, the entire ninja world is just a small place. Konoha is like a… like a castor seed.
After receiving the order, Haori didn't hesitate. He returned to Konoha alone at his fastest speed.
Considering how long Haori had been away from Konoha, the village hadn't changed much. Konoha was still the same old Konoha.
Morning mist drifted across the streets.
Beautiful Haori walked by.
Fresh air, dewdrops sparkling.
Like cherry, cherry, shining eyes.
Like a veil over a girl's face…
The civilians on the street were laughing and chatting. Young children were bouncing around, playing and making noise.
Every time he saw this scene, a sense of disconnect would make Haori feel a moment of trance. Which world was the real reality?
The Hokage's office building was right in front of him. Haori dispelled the thought in his mind and stepped inside.
He first saw the Third Hokage, but he didn't immediately start reporting the information.
Because the Hokage had also called his friends.
First, there were the two advisors who seemed to eat for a living and not do any real work, but actually, even while eating for a living, they did some work - Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado.
Then, there was the famous Root, Konoha's hidden force, Shimura Danzo.
Adding Haori himself, this would be a five-way meeting.
It was so serious, it was like a six-way meeting.
And all Haori had to do was retell the information he had told Jiraiya. If anyone had any questions, they would ask directly.
Then he would give an explanation.
In short, he made the seemingly unreasonable parts reasonable. As for what the upper echelon's judgment would be, he couldn't guess.
After that, little Haori bowed and withdrew. The rest was none of his business.
As long as the Hokage confirmed the news, he wouldn't be sent to Sunagakure to deliver information. If such an order was really issued, it would be a surefire way for him to be declared a traitor.
Sunagakure had long issued an order: Anyone who beheads the White Fang will be rewarded with a thousand gold and granted a thousand households.
Thank goodness the Third Hokage wasn't crazy.
Leaving the Hokage's office building, where would Haori go next?
He had nowhere to go, except to see Kushina.
In fact, just considering Haori's actions, it can be judged that whether he admits it or not, Kushina Uzumaki's significance to Haori is like a home, like family.
This has nothing to do with a person's strength or weakness, nor does it have anything to do with what world he's from. People have an inherent social nature and have basic requirements for certain things.
Looking at Haori's situation, you can imagine how miserable Naruto was in the original story. People like Haori probably all need a place to belong. And Naruto, before he understood each other with his old friend Iruka Sensei, had nothing.
Even so, he could still be positive and ultimately became the Hokage of Konoha. This mentality can't be called strong, it's just bizarrely strong.
Coincidentally, not long after he left the Hokage's office building, he happened to see Kushina.
That red hair was too eye-catching in the crowd.
"Kushina-sensei!"
"Haori?"
Kushina turned around and, upon discovering that it was Haori who called out to her, was surprised at first, then immediately broke into a smile.
Wow, bright eyes, a radiant smile, like the taste of candy.
Haori smiled back, a genuine smile, and then walked towards his teacher.
If you asked Haori if he liked Kushina, he would say yes, but he couldn't say what kind of like.
If you asked Kushina if she liked Haori, she would say yes, but it definitely wasn't the kind of like she had for Minato.
Haori is just a little kid, okay?
So, she could come up and put her arm around him.
If you gave Kushina a paradoxical century-old problem in terms of causality, what would her answer be?
Suppose, hypothetically, her boyfriend, Minato Namikaze, and her student, Haori, both fell into a ditch. Who would she save?
Kushina's answer might be very clear: Save Haori.
But what does that mean? It doesn't mean anything.
Minato is irreplaceable to Kushina in every sense.
Unfortunately, it's destined to be the sour taste of unripe tomatoes.
Then, before Haori could speak, two figures unexpectedly entered his field of vision.
How to describe them?
Watermelon head.
Green skin and a tight-fitting suit.
Thick eyebrows, standard big eyes.
Really white teeth.
