Outside Konoha Village, four ninjas wearing dark masks moved quickly between the trees.

It wasn't until the huge Hokage Rock clearly appeared in front of them that several people gradually slowed down and relaxed.

Even in times of peace, there is far more strife in the shadows than ordinary people see, and the darkness exists to bury all traces of the invisible light from the public eye.

"My lord, aren't you going back to the ministry to report for duty?"

"No, I have something else."

"Yes!"

……

When the four ninjas entered the village through a secret channel exclusive to the Shadows, the first one left alone.

Generally speaking, after completing the task, you must report back to the ministry, which is common knowledge for members of the dark department, but there are exceptions.

Although as with most of the shadows, there was no deliberate attempt to reveal his identity, but the rest of the group was well aware of the identity of the person who had left.

The captain of their operation this time, this powerful Wind Escape Ninja was none other than Elder Shimura Danzo, who was almost on par with Hokage-sama.

Such a strong man, as long as he does not deliberately hide his head and tail, it is easy for everyone to identify his identity through ninjutsu.

Therefore, these members of the dark department did not have any obstacle to the departure of the captain.

The three people on the opposite side recalled this mission of nine deaths and one life, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for the tall back.

"If it weren't for Elder Shimura, the three of us would definitely be the same corpse as the rest of our companions, right?"

"It's second only to Hokage-sama!"

……

Second only to the Hokage......

Listening to the distant whispers coming from the wind, Shimura Danzo's face under the mask was cloudy.

……

Walking past a few deserted street corners, the dark mask on Tuan Zang's face had long been removed, revealing an old face.

If there are book friends of the Romance of the Five Kingdoms present, they will definitely not be unfamiliar with this old man.

It's this old guy who grabs the first copy of a new book release every time, which makes people hate it.

Danzo rubbed his right shoulder, which was full of tears, and in this operation, the high-intensity ninjutsu confrontation led to the recurrence of his old wound.

For this kind of injury, Tuan Zang is already very experienced.

It's completely useless to go to Konoha Hospital, and those doctors, especially surgeons, are just a bunch of rubbish that will only keep people hospitalized to recuperate.

Will I really survive the Ape Flying Sun?

Maybe the teacher's research records can help me a little?

Feeling the pain of his body, Tuan Zang couldn't help but have such a thought in his heart.

……

Although it was a good day, slums like Willow Lane always looked muddy and gloomy.

Danzang frowned, perhaps he had made a mistake.

Can such a place really relax your tired body?

Even with such doubts, Danzang still stepped into the alley.

The Hearthstone Tavern is in this alley, and it looks like a firefly in the night, and it doesn't take much effort for Danzo to find his destination.

Push the door in, and the inside is surprisingly bright.

Danzou is no stranger to something new like electric lights, and all the kerosene lamps have been replaced with them in the Hokage Building.

However, the appearance of such an expensive thing in a suburban tavern on such a large scale still gave Tuan Zang a sense of luxury in his heart.

Since it was still early in the morning, there were only a few people in the tavern, and it seemed a little deserted.

A comical-looking dwarf stood up from a swivel chair behind the bar.

He smiled professionally and said to the old man who Tuan Zang had transformed, "This old gentleman, do you have any needs?" ”

"A glass of milk."

You may not believe it when you say it, but all along, with the iron law of a ninja, he has demanded his own group and does not drink alcohol.

This is also where Tuan Zang thinks he is stronger than Ri Chop, although the latter looks full of positive energy, but Tuan Zang is very clear about the details of this small hair.

This is a guy who is keen on smoking, drinking, and burning his hair, and he has no resistance to even women.

"The milk is good, the old man should drink more milk!"

Cardo wiped his sweat from his heart, but he still had a smile on his face.

Thanks to the two imps of the Uchiha family, milk was really specially prepared in the tavern.

Yesterday, the little ghost named Fuyue didn't come for some reason, and the ordered milk was not drunk, what a waste......

Well...... This season......

With Cardo's festival, without much hesitation, he took out the fresh milk that had been placed for a day and a night from the cabinet and poured it for Tuanzang.

"I heard that there are projects related to the Romance of the Five Kingdoms here?"

Taking the milk, Danzang asked.

If it was just an ordinary tavern, he wouldn't be of much interest.

Hearing the old man's words, Cardo's eyes lit up, this old man is a fan of the Romance of the Five Kingdoms!

As long as you are a book lover, Cardo knows what kind of gold-eating monster the card game invented by the boss is.

The money for chartering is only a small amount, and the most important thing is the indispensable drinks when playing cards, as well as ...... Later pack opening and card drawing......

In order to make it to the Fengyun power list, Hearthstone play with higher points must be mastered, and playing Hearthstone play ......

In short, looking at the old man's well-made clothes, Cardo seemed to see a steady stream of bonuses.

"Sir, please come here, please allow me to introduce you to a brand new game, in just three minutes, you will fall in love with this game......"

……

When Yasuo arrived at the tavern, it was still noon.

As soon as he entered, Cardo stepped forward to take Yasuo's coat and brought him the most nutritious drink.

Rinsing his mouth with an expensive drink, Yasuo looked up at the list hanging on the wall.

Tsunade's name has reached the fourth place, and the first three names, unsurprisingly, all start with Nara.

Did this chick stay up all night again?

Yasuo touched his forehead and couldn't help but worry, if Mito slapped himself with a Vajra chain, how many petals would his little ass split?

"Boss, Miss Tsunade has gone back."

Yasuo now knew why the emperor always liked courtiers like He Shen.

These people are really caring, every time they give themselves a look, Cardo will tell them what they want to know.

"Well, okay, it's strictly forbidden to give Tsunade red drinks in the future, and if she uses violence, you can find me...... Never mind...... If she uses violence, give it to her......"

Tsunade, who had been working all night for two days, finally couldn't hold on anymore and went home to catch up on sleep.

Yasuo couldn't think of a way to stop her from continuing to fall, so she had to let it go.

Bang!

Just as Yasuo was frowning and worried about his ass, the door of the tavern was violently kicked open.

A team of uniformed members of the Konoha Garrison rushed in.

"Who's the boss here? We've been told that there are prohibited items for sale, so get investigated now! ”

"Everyone present, please cooperate with our actions and go to the police department!"

A young man who looked like a squad leader, holding a search warrant stamped with an official seal, announced loudly with an expressionless face.
