Chapter 35: Photo Commemoration
Sarutobi had received intelligence from Tsunade about something unbelievable. He was surprised when he heard that Orochimaru would start an attack during the Chunin Exam and clenched his hands tightly, but at the same time, he was curious about the source of her information.
Tsunade didn't mind telling him and told him that she got this information from her friends.
'Friends?'
Sarutobi was wondering whether Tsunade had made her own intelligence network similar to Jiraiya. He became curious and wanted to know who those friends were.
"It's hard to see them," Tsunade said.
Sarutobi wasn't satisfied with Tsunade's answer but he couldn't force her. He was already grateful for her to be able to get this information or else his village would be attacked without preparation. He ordered Anbu to protect his village and to check whether this information was true or not. He had also contacted Jiraiya to come back since this matter was really serious.
When Jiraiya received the news, he quickly returned and asked the matter of Orichimaru's attack directly.
"Is this true?"
Jiraiya looked at the report and didn't expect that it was Tsunade who gave Sarutobi such important information. He was wondering where she could get his kind of information.
Sarutobi nodded and said, "I've checked it and this intelligence is real. Kazekage has been killed and Orochimaru has entered into their village to become their Kazekage. They will attack our village at the end of Chunin Exam."
"We need to stop the exam!!" Jiraiya said.
Sarutobi shook his head and said, "No, we can't. It will show that our village is weak, rather than stop the exam, we need to catch Orochimaru. He has already decided to come back, I won't let them escape again." He still felt regret when his disciple was betraying the village.
Jiraiya nodded and said, "I will also prepare for the war."
Sarutobi nodded and both of them started to form a plan for the next battle.
---
Sarutobi wanted to meet with Tsunade's friends since they were able to give such important information. He had tried to ask Anbu to find out about these mysterious friends, but they could find nothing about them. It wasn't that he was suspicious of them, but he was curious how they could get such information since he knew very well that his most beloved student wasn't clumsy enough to let someone know about his plan to attack the village.
*Knock!* *knock!*
"Enter," Sarutobi said.
Shizune entered the Hokage room and said, "Excuse me, Hokage-Sama. Tsunade-Sama told me to tell you that her friends would come to the village."
"What? Is that true?"
Sarutobi was surprised. He didn't expect them to come to help Konohagakure. He stood up and asked, "Where are they?"
"Tsunade-Sama has told me that they will come soon," Shizune said.
Sarutobi nodded and said, "Good, I want to see them too."
Shizune was surprised and wondering why he wanted to see Tsunade's friend. She thought for a while and nodded. "You can follow me, Hokage-Sama."
"Let's go."
Shizune was also curious since she knew that Tsunade's friends were coming from the Group Chat. Though, she wouldn't tell Sarutobi about that matter.

Sarutobi had arrived at Tsunade's house and he was looking at the group of people with a doubt.
"Ouch, ouch, it's pretty painful, can someone heal me? My head is bleeding! I - I will die.... S - Someone please call a medic," Gintoki said while laying on the ground holding his head.
"It's your own fault," Haru said.
"Damn, aren't you also looking at her??" Gintoki said.
Haru couldn't deny it since he was pretty much attracted to Tsunade's chest, but as a gentleman how could he admit such a thing. He shook his head and healed Gintoki but he changed his light magic to green to make everyone think that he was using a healing jutsu. It was pretty simple thing after all to change the color of his light magic to any color as long as he wanted.
'Hmm? Medical jutsu.'
Sarutobi nodded inside his heart. He thought that her friends would be medical medics too. He looked at everyone and saw the old man and the little girl.
"Hello." Yajima greeted Sarutobi.
"Hello."
Sarutobi also greeted Yajima maybe because the similarity between the ages made him think that he could be friends with Yajima.
"Wow, it's the real Hokage!!!!!"
Kuroneko was excited and jumped around. She took her phone and said, "C - can we take a picture together?"
Sarutobi looked at this girl and smiled even though he felt that this girl was strange.
'Take a picture together?' He thought that this girl wanted someone to draw them together. He nodded, "Sure." He didn't feel harm from her, rather it was curiosity and worship? Even though he was in his 60s, he still had his charm after all.
"Yes," Kuroneko said.
"Ah, can I join too?" Haru asked. He also wanted to show this picture to his little sister. He was sure that Sora would be very surprised to see such a perfect cosplay.
"I will join too!!"
Gintoki had already been pretty much healthy since Haru had healed him. He also wanted to show this picture to both Kagura and Shinpachi. He was sure that both of them would be shocked to the core. He would tell them that he met a real Hokage and he was sure that they would be envious. He also thought about making it into the business. He was sure there were a lot of Naruto Fans who would want to take a picture with this old man.
"I won't join you, let me help you to take a picture," Yajima said.
"Ah, thank you," Kuroneko said and gave him her phone.
"What's that?" Sarutobi was curious about that small device. He was wondering what they would do with that kind of thing.
"That's the phone, we use it to take a picture," Haru explained.
"Picture? From that small device?" Sarutobi was surprised.
"I can show it to you later, but can you face up to the camera?" Kuroneko said.
"Sure." Sarutobi followed her strange request since it was just a small request.
"Are you ready?" Yajima asked with a smile.
"Yes!!" Gintoki, Haru, and Kuroneko said at the same time.
"Cheese!!" Yajima said.
"Cheese!!" 3x
Sarutobi was dumbfounded. 'What's happening?'
