—————————————————————————————————————————

Everyone who had successfully left the Land of Wind felt incredibly happy when they set foot on the land of the Land of Fire again.

"Tsukino, how's Aoyama's injury?"

"I've stabilized the toxin. The rest needs to be treated back in the village."

Hearing this, Sakumo Hatake truly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, why don't you ask about me? I'm still covered in wounds..."

Dotetsu beside him was super dissatisfied with his captain's attitude. He quickly dashed in front of him, lifted his clothes, and revealed the hideous wounds.

"Come on, your wounds are almost scabbed over. Don't you feel ashamed?"

Heiichi Yamanaka smacked him on the head, making the latter laugh sheepishly.

"We were able to complete this mission successfully mainly thanks to Chiyama."

"By the way, Chiyama, what sleeping drug did you give her? Why hasn't she woken up yet?"

Looking at Yugura in Chiyama Gekko's arms, everyone felt a bit surprised.

It's been a whole day, and Yugura still hasn't woken up?

What on earth kind of sleeping drug did Chiyama Gekko use? It's just too scary.

"Hehe, it's a secret formula. One drop can knock someone out for three days. If any of you have insomnia in the future, come to me. I've got loads!"

Chiyama Gekko grinned, looking extremely sleazy, making everyone shake their heads repeatedly.

"Lord Sakumo, when we get back to Konoha, should we send Yugura directly to the Interrogation Department?"

Sakumo Hatake nodded.

"Specialized people handle this kind of intelligence work."

"What? You got any ideas?"

Chiyama Gekko glanced at Yugura in his arms. To be honest, he was a little reluctant to send such a beautiful woman to the Interrogation Department.

Those are just a bunch of perverts who don't even know what a beautiful woman is.

"Everyone has their own jobs. We still gotta listen to Lord Hokage for the specific arrangements."

"After all, I guess he never expected this. Instead of bringing back the intelligence, you directly abducted the leader of the surprise attack team from the other side."

As he said this, Sakumo Hatake couldn't help but laugh.

This mission can be considered extremely successful. After all, capturing the leader of a surprise attack team is much easier than gathering intelligence.

When they returned to the village, Sakumo Hatake first sent Aoyama to the hospital, and then led everyone straight to the Hokage Building.

At this time, there wasn't just Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, in the Hokage's office. There was also someone standing in front of him.

It was his old pal, Danzō Shimura, who always tried to trip him up.

"Sarutobi, a talent like Chiyama Gekko should be given to my Root division."

"Don't you know how valuable his Kekkei Genkai and the Flying Thunder God Technique are?"

Well, he just came here directly to ask for the guy.

"If you hand such a person over to me, I guarantee that I'll make him the most powerful espionage agent in Konoha."

"Instead of a teacher at the academy!"

"Sarutobi, you're wasting talent!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen knew exactly what his old buddy was up to.

With his unique Touton ability, if Chiyama Gekko joined Root, the first ones he would monitor would be his own people.

Maybe even he'd end up on Danzō's surveillance list. No, he was probably already on it.

Humph, this old geezer just never stops causing trouble.

"Tanzō, you're overstepping. Chiyama Gekko is an elite ninja in the village and also a teacher at the ninja academy."

"The contributions he's made to the village are significant. He doesn't need to join your Root division."

"You don't need to mention this matter again."

Hiruzen Sarutobi flatly declined Tanzō's proposal.

Just as Tanzō was about to continue speaking, there was a knock on the office door.

"Humph! You'll rue this day, Hiruzen!"

"If you keep overlooking such a talented individual, you'll pay for your foolishness one day!"

Tanzō knew he had failed this time. He could only leave a spiteful comment and walked out.

Opening the door, Sakumo Hatake noticed that Tanzō looked displeased.

He heard clearly from outside the door. This old scoundrel! They were on a mission, and this scoundrel actually tried to poach his people!

Seeing Sakumo return, Tanzō's expression changed too, but after all, he was a man who had weathered many storms.

He walked right past him. Behind Sakumo were his team members. At that moment, they all averted their eyes and didn't look at Tanzō.

In contrast, Chiyama Gekko looked at Tanzō with a tinge of mockery.

Good grief! While he was away, this guy actually tried to recruit him into the Root division.

The Root division was the most sinister place.

Tanzō also saw Chiyama Gekko. A flicker of reluctance flashed in his eyes, and then he left.

"Sakumo? You're back?"

"Already?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi showed a hint of surprise upon seeing Sakumo Hatake's team return.

They had only been gone for a few days. Why did they come back so soon?

Could the mission have failed? Or was there some other issue?

"The mission is complete, and we exceeded expectations."

Sakumo said with a smile and then gestured for everyone to enter the room.

This included Yugura, who was in Chiyama Gekko's arms.

"Hey, Chiyama, why are you still carrying her? There's a sofa over there. Put her down!"

Sakumo Hatake stared at Chiyama Gekko speechlessly.

They were already inside the room. Why was he still carrying her?

Was he really that loath to let go?

Wasn't she just a moderately good-looking woman? Seriously.

Humph! She wasn't nearly as good-looking as his wife!

"Okay, okay. Put her on the sofa, right?"

Chiyama Gekko wasn't the least bit embarrassed. He walked over to the sofa casually and gently placed Yugura down.

At that moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi saw the female ninja on the sofa.

Especially because her Forehead Protector was from Sunagakure. He was really quite startled.

"Is this a ninja from Sunagakure?"

For an intelligence mission, capturing a ninja, it was evident that this ninja must be extremely crucial.

"Yeah, here's what went down..."

Sakumo Hatake didn't hold back and directly recounted the details of this mission.

Including his solo breakthrough and then how Chiyama Gekko used the Flying Thunder God Technique to rescue everyone from danger.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi had some suspicions in his mind, when he heard that the woman in front of him was the leader of the surprise attack team of Sunagakure, he still couldn't help showing a hint of shock.

The look he gave Chiyama Gekko was filled with delight.

This kid doesn't act often, but when he does, he really makes a splash!

The incident involving Cloud Hidden Village in the Land of Hot Water last time, combined with this matter of the intelligence from Sunagakure, he was definitely a talented individual.

Humph!

Damn Tanzō! He actually wants to snatch such a talented person from him.

No way!

Aoyama is still in the hospital being treated. If it weren't for Chiyama's help in this mission, we wouldn't have gotten away so easily.

"Lord Hokage, that's the detailed info of this mission."

Thanks to Chiyama Gekko's help, not only was the mission completed perfectly, but there were no casualties either.

It could be said to be a huge success.

"Good, very good. Next, send the person to the Interrogation Department."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was very satisfied and sat down again, looking extremely pleased.

"Er, Lord Hokage, can we not send the person to the Interrogation Department?"

"With Heiichi around, we can still get the information using the Mind Reading jutsu."

Suddenly, Chiyama Gekko spoke up.

His words really surprised everyone present.
