Chapter 825: Hiruzen's Burden!
Outside the Hokage's office, Naruto became increasingly agitated. Once again, he lost his cool and shouted, "It's been two hours! How long will they take? Sasuke needs to be treated immediately!"
Shizune muttered internally, 'Here we go again.'
She tried to soothe Naruto once again, "It'll be over soon, Naru…"
Suddenly, the door opened and Tsunade and Jiraiya walked out, followed by Shikaku who walked like a sleep-deprived zombie. Naruto was about to scold the two Sannins when he noticed Shikaku and asked curiously, "What happened to him?"
Tsunade replied, "He just needs some sleep. Take me to the old man. I'll inspect him first."
The Anbu ninja nearby immediately said, "Follow me, Lady Tsunade."
He immediately led the group to the top floor of Konoha's hospital. As many as twelve Anbu squads were deployed to protect Hiruzen at all times. Relief appeared on their faces on seeing Tsunade finally appear. They quickly allowed Tsunade, Jiraiya and Shizune in the room while Naruto and Tonton were left out once again.
As soon as they entered the room, their eyes fell on Hiruzen, who seemed to be sleeping peacefully. Isamu immediately brightened on seeing Tsunade. Along with the 12 Anbu squads, one senior medical ninja was also stationed at all times.
Isamu joyfully said, "Lady Tsunade, you've finally returned."
