Rosen was currently in the Hokage's office, looking annoyed at Senju Tobirama.
Although Senju Tobirama was not the Hokage, he was doing the Hokage's work.
All of Konoha's high-level political affairs were handled by him.
Rosen slammed the mission scroll onto the desk.
"Come on, tell me, why did I get this kind of mission?"
"This is Hashirama's plan. He intends to capture all the Tailed Beasts and then sell them to various Shinobi Villages."
"So you agree with this naive plan?"
Senju Tobirama looked at Rosen helplessly: "He is the Hokage after all."
"Then why did this mission fall to me?"
"Because you are strong enough, dealing with a Tailed Beast is more than enough."
"No, I don't want to deal with that kind of monster. I'm still a child."
"A thirty-year-old child?" Senju Tobirama put away the documents in his hand, looked up at Rosen: "As a member of Konoha, you should at least take on the responsibility of a Shinobi."
"I have! In the past two years, I have completed forty-eight missions, three of which no one dared to take!" Rosen said righteeously.
"Thirty-six D-rank missions, twelve C-rank missions. The three missions you said no one dared to take were cleaning toilets."
"Just tell me, have I contributed to the construction of Konoha or not."
"Rosen, I need your help now," Senju Tobirama said with a helpless tone.
"Such a difficult mission as capturing a Tailed Beast should be handled by Uchiha Madara and your brother."
"They are also capturing Tailed Beasts. Currently, only Eight-Tails Gyuki has not been captured."
"Then Eight-Tails Gyuki should be assigned to them as well. Anyway, one more or one less doesn't make a difference. It's just a matter of convenience."
"The key is that it's not on the way. Gyuki is currently on an island outside the Land of Lightning."
"I'm afraid of death," Rosen said frankly, looking intently at Senju Tobirama: "How about we go together?"
Upon hearing this, Senju Tobirama was actually very tempted.
After all, he hadn't left since Konoha was founded.
He felt his body was rusting, but unfortunately, there were too many things in the Village, and he couldn't leave.
Now it was still the Early Stage of Konoha's establishment, and there were still a lot of problems in the Village that needed to be dealt with.
For example, establishing a Shinobi Academy, and resolving old grievances between Shinobi Clans.
"If you accept this commission, when you return, I will allow you to read the sealing scroll at will."
The current sealing scroll had many Ninjutsu added to it. Some were developed by Senju Tobirama, and others were collected. Because they were too dangerous, they were listed as forbidden Ninjutsu and recorded on the sealing scroll.
"Alright." Rosen couldn't refuse, and of course, it was also because he wanted to read the sealing scroll.
...
Eight-Tails Gyuki!
Rosen arrived in the Land of Lightning.
But as soon as he arrived in the Land of Lightning, he was discovered by Cloud Ninja.
He was now surrounded by several tall, muscular Shinobi.
"Konoha Shinobi, My Lord Ai wants to see you."
Rosen was a bit surprised, as he wasn't famous in Konoha, after all, he only had the Genin title.
And only a few people had witnessed his few moves.
If he were considered a spy, the First Raikage shouldn't have time to waste seeing him.
However, the Ninja World had just settled down, enjoying a rare period of peace, so friction was very rare.
If possible, Rosen was unwilling to casually fight people from other Villages.
Of course, the main reason was not to cause trouble for Konoha.
Rosen was led to the Raikage's office. In front of him was a man with a fluffy afro, dark skin, but also radiating powerful Chakra. He was the First Raikage, Ai.
First Ai looked at the intelligence in his hand: "Your Excellency Rosen, please sit."
Rosen sat opposite First Ai: "You know me?"
"Name, Rosen, surname unknown, one of Konoha's first Genin, residing in the Senju Clan's territory, good friends with Senju Tobirama. In the two years since Konoha was founded, he has completed forty-eight low-level missions." First Ai looked up at Rosen: "Your Excellency Rosen, I want to know your purpose for rashly entering the Land of Lightning without diplomatic permission."
"Oh, a mere Genin like myself, to be summoned, even interrogated, by My Lord Raikage himself, it truly is my honor." Rosen sighed: "Actually, I'm here to find my long-lost sister."
"Sister?"
"Yes, when we were children, we got separated, and since then I've been searching for her whereabouts. This time, I heard there was someone in the Land of Lightning with features somewhat similar to hers, so I came to take a look."
"You can tell me your sister's features, and we can help you search."
Rosen looked at the sincere First Ai with a meaningful smile on his face.
First Ai felt a bit awkward under Rosen's gaze.
"Then can I leave now?"
"I'm afraid not. What you said is just your side of the story."
"If My Lord Raikage intends to detain me, you'd best consider the consequences, after all, Tobirama and I are the best of friends."
"Oh? How good are you with Senju Tobirama?" First Ai immediately perked up, hoping to get some information about Senju Tobirama from Rosen.
"I remember that time, when I was on the toilet, I heard a voice from the next stall, 'Brother, got any paper?' At the time, I looked at the paper in my hand, and ultimately gave it to the person next door. I, on the other hand, used my finger..."
"Stop, stop... That's not what I want to hear."
"But that's how we met... And then we became the best of friends."
"Then to what extent can Senju Tobirama go for you?"
"He once fought Uchiha Madara to the death for me."
"Oh? So, you are very important to Senju Tobirama?"
"Of course."
First Ai was already calculating in his mind, keeping Rosen and then demanding some benefits from Konoha.
"Are you thinking of demanding some benefits from Konoha through me?" Rosen grinned: "I think it's more likely that Senju Hashirama or Uchiha Madara will come to demand my release, or in a small probability, both of them will come together."
First Ai's expression stiffened slightly. Yes, he had only thought about demanding benefits and completely forgotten that Konoha now had two of the Ninja World's most ruthless individuals.
Senju Hashirama! Uchiha Madara!
These were two insurmountable mountains in the Ninja World.
"So, can I leave now?" Rosen asked with a smile, standing up.
"You may, but while you are in the Land of Lightning, I will send someone to accompany you, as you are a Shinobi from another Village."
Rosen shrugged and slowly walked out of the Raikage's office.
Just then, a tall, dark-skinned, blonde, rugged-faced young Shinobi landed beside Rosen.
"Your Excellency Rosen, I was sent by My Lord Ai. While you are in the Land of Lightning, I will do my best to resolve most of your troubles."
"What is your name?" Rosen asked.
"Yotsuki Semi."
"So it's the Night Moon Clan."
The Third and Fourth Raikage of Hidden Cloud Village were both from the Night Moon Clan, and their strength far surpassed the First and Second Raikage.
"Help me prepare a boat. I plan to go out to sea."
"Understood. May I ask what your destination is?"
"No destination, I just want to go out to sea and have some fun."
Yotsuki Semi's preparation speed was very fast. In just half a day, a boat was ready.
Rosen boarded the small fishing boat and looked at Yotsuki Semi, asking: "You know how to row a boat, right?"
"Yes, Your Excellency Rosen."
"Let's go out to sea."
Yotsuki Semi rowed the oars, moving the boat away from the fishing dock.
At the same time, he was observing Rosen. Rosen remained seated at the other end of the bow, admiring the waves on the sea.
As the boat gradually moved away from the shore, Yotsuki Semi said: "Your Excellency Rosen, this boat can only operate in coastal waters. If we go any further, a single wave will smash this boat."
"It's fine." Rosen waved his hand: "You can swim, right?"
"Ah... Yes..."
"With your physique, swimming dozens of kilometers shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"But... what about you?"
"I can fly."
"You can fly?" Yotsuki Semi was clearly a bit disbelieving, because the intelligence he received from First Ai stated that Rosen was only Genin level.
Shinobi who can fly in the Ninja World must be very powerful.
At least flying Ninjutsu would not be something a Genin could access or master.
"Yes."
Yotsuki Semi stared at Rosen, seemingly trying to discern the truth of Rosen's words.
At the same time, he was speculating why Rosen would expose himself in front of him.
Just then, Yotsuki Semi suddenly realized that the boat seemed to be moving in one direction.
Even without him rowing, the boat was moving quickly.
This shocked Yotsuki Semi. Was it this Konoha Shinobi in front of him doing it?
But, he seemed to have done nothing, so how did he make the boat move?
And where was this direction leading?
There were no reference points at sea, so he didn't know which direction they were heading.
As the sky began to darken, an island appeared ahead. Yotsuki Semi's pupils suddenly contracted. That was the Island of Disaster.
On that island, there existed a terrifying monster.
Yotsuki Semi had once approached this island at sea.
That was ten years ago, when a group of Night Moon Clan members tried to subdue that monster.
At that time, Yotsuki Semi was only sixteen, and he was responsible for operating the boat at sea to meet those clan members.
Subsequently, there were huge noises and explosions on the island, as well as terrifying roars of monsters.
But his clan members never returned to the boat.
Yotsuki Semi looked at Rosen: "Your goal is that monster on the island?"
"What monster? I don't know anything about it. I'm here for tourism." Rosen flatly denied.
"Do you know how terrifying that monster is?"
"I already said, I'm here for tourism."
"That monster is absolutely not something humans can contend with. No matter how many people, no matter how powerful the Shinobi, facing that kind of monster only leads to death."
"Got it, got it." Rosen waved his hand.
The boat continued to move towards the island, and Yotsuki Semi became increasingly nervous.
"Are you not listening to what I'm saying?"
"I know that monster is very dangerous, but there's nothing I can do. My mission is to capture that guy and bring him back."
