Wok Shadow Ninja

Chapter 372: Jiraiya's and Sakura's Commission

This cat lover, Tamaki, was clearly one of Nekobaa's people. As for what kind of relative, Ino really didn't know. The Yamanaka family's intelligence network had both cooperation and rivalry with Nekobaa's intelligence network.

The Yamanaka family was inclined towards the Hokage's faction, while Nekobaa's side was often the eyes of the Uchiha clan in the gray areas. The two sides naturally had conflicts.

Nekobaa's big backer, the Uchiha clan, had fallen, but the old woman's roots were still there. As peers, the Yamanaka family had always kept their distance from her.

Ino had no interest in the cat-dog debate.

Tamaki's few kittens were too weak and could only meow at Akamaru. Akamaru knocked one down with one paw. After a while, the little guy would get up and meow again. When tired of meowing, the few kittens would dizzily circle around.

One of the kittens circled and circled and bumped into Ino's leg. The kitten shook its head, then bared its teeth at her fiercely. Ino was bored to the extreme, so she took out a cat teaser and played with this kitten.

"Hey, hey, little Ino!" Ino was squatting on the ground playing with the kitten when she suddenly heard someone call her.

Who is it?

She looked left and right. No one.

Shikamaru, who was resting with his eyes closed, pointed to the shade of a tree on the right. Ino looked up and saw Jiraiya covering his face, squatting behind the shade of the tree, and secretly waving at her.

Her expression was strange. Those who knew would say this was the Fifth Hokage; those who didn't would think he was an enemy!

Ino left a shadow clone to continue playing with the cat and walked over herself.

"Lord Hokage, what's the matter?"

Jiraiya summoned a small orange toad. This was Gamabunta's son, the grandson of Elder Fukasaku and Elder Shima, Gamakichi.

Although they were called toads, his father Bunta was actually a horned frog, and Fukasaku and Shima were frogs. This whole family was called toads out of habit. Sage art had made their bloodline completely different from that of ordinary animals.

Jiraiya's expression was quite serious. He said, "Those lunatics from the Cloud Village are capable of anything. We must guard against what happened with the Gold and Silver Brothers back then. Take this little guy with you. If you encounter danger, assist it in using the reverse summoning jutsu. Minato and I will both come to help you."

Hearing this, Ino felt very warm. This leader, Jiraiya, was usually absurd, but he was quite humane at critical moments.

The Gold and Silver Brothers had not only killed the Second Hokage back then, but they had also even killed their own village's Second Raikage. They were complete lunatics! Although these two had long been dead, and after two generations of suppression by the Third and Fourth Raikages, the power of the Cloud Village's martial faction had greatly declined, one couldn't be too careful. Ino's actions this time might really encounter danger.

If thousands of ninjas charged over at once, with various elemental jutsus and explosive tags, even the Wood Human Technique couldn't hold out for long.

Jiraiya gave her advice. "Once you find that the Cloud Village has ill intentions, you go to their village and release Water Release and Wood Release. Don't care about the lives of those villagers. The greater the destructive power of your ninjutsu, the safer you will be. Stall for time and wait for our rescue. Got it?"

Ino nodded quickly.

She was now a proper human-shaped Tailed Beast, a mobile natural disaster. As long as she wasn't killed instantly, once she was allowed to use her ninjutsu freely, the destructive power would be too great. The Sand Village and the Land of the Moon had been tormented by her…

After Jiraiya finished his official business, he looked left and right and lowered his voice to speak of a private matter. "It was definitely not a coincidence that that young man sought you out last time. If, and I mean if, you encounter him again outside the village, also have Gamakichi reverse summon me. I will personally handle this matter."

Jiraiya clasped his hands together. "Please!"

What could Ino say? She could only agree.

Gamakichi looked quite capable, but he was too young and had no combat ability at all.

Like Kakashi's summoning dog Pakkun, he could also speak human language, so there was no communication barrier.

Ino looked at Jiraiya sideways. You want to find your "son," but you give me such a powerless guy.

Jiraiya looked troubled. "To investigate the matter of the toad clan, Elder Fukasaku's side is very busy. Only this little guy has nothing to do. Actually, there's also Gamatatsu, but that one is even more unreliable. I could only call Gamakichi. Anyway, the key is you, right?"

"Right, right, I know."

Jiraiya quietly slipped away. This matter of finding an "illegitimate son" needed to be hidden from Tsunade, at least he felt it should be hidden for now.

The cat-dog debate between Kiba Inuzuka and Tamaki was still going on. Akamaru, one dog against seven cats, was literally "one against seven"!

Shikamaru was resting with his eyes closed on the side, and Choji was crazily eating snacks.

Without a second word, Ino handed Gamakichi over to Shikamaru to look after.

Izumo Kamizuki and Kotetsu Hagane were now working in the Hokage's building. She wasn't familiar with the two new gatekeepers, and now wasn't the time to spend effort getting to know them. She just occasionally played with the kitten and patiently waited for the quarrel between the couple, Kiba and Tamaki, to come to a conclusion.

The mission required them to set off today, but the specific departure time didn't matter.

Ino had just played with the cat for two minutes when she saw Sakura running over in a flurry.

Sakura wanted to ask her to escort Kakashi's eight ninja hounds to a ninja hound hospital not far from the Land of Fire for treatment.

"No way! I'm already in a lot of trouble here. Don't add to my troubles!" Ino refused flatly. What is all this messy business? Can't you see I'm busy here?

Sakura stood with her hands on her hips, looking at her angrily.

Seeing that she had no intention of backing down, Sakura summoned the eight ninja hounds.

"Achoo!" The eight ninja hounds were all sick. Even Pakkun, whom Ino was most familiar with, was sneezing constantly at this moment.

The largest Shar-Pei, Bull, was even lying directly on the ground, looking listless.

"See?" Sakura asked her.

"What?"

"They're all suffering because of your pollen!"

Ino: "???"

Looking closely, she found that it was indeed the case.

The respiratory tracts of the eight ninja hounds were all affected by the pollen to varying degrees. Again, once a ninjutsu was released, it couldn't be taken back. She, the caster, had no good treatment for the pollen. The Yamanaka Flower Shop had medicine for treating human pollen allergies, but they really didn't have any for treating dogs.

Sakura played her trump card. "Teacher Kakashi is paying."

"Why didn't you say so earlier?!"

Ino felt that issuing a one-billion-ryo treatment bill to Kakashi was inappropriate, but a few million was fine. Who made Kakashi a dog lover?

This matter was also Ino's fault, so she asked for the address of the pet hospital and found that it wasn't too far. At most, she would just escort them along the way.

The team already had a bunch of cats and dogs, and even a toad. It was already extremely chaotic. Adding eight more ninja hounds now was actually not a big problem…

"...Alright." She nodded and agreed.
