The next morning.

After a brief discussion, the Konoha higher-ups decided that this conflict with the Sand Hidden Village should end in the Daimyo Mansion of the Land of Wind.

Because they thought that the Sand Hidden Village would surrender to Konoha again after losing a few teams of powerful ninjas.

This kind of thing, Shayin Village can do it skillfully.

As the Hokage-sama's first political and military mission, Naruto left Konoha with the Hokage's escort, and he didn't intend to do what the two advisor elders wanted.

The current Sand Hidden Village is the weakest time, if it is not resolved, will it be necessary to wait until the Sand Hidden Village is full of wings after I love Luo to take power in the future, and then start a war?

Why bother?

The fifth-generation Wind Shadow I Ai Luo has already handed the handle of the knife to Konoha's hand, at this time, if you don't directly hack Sand Hidden Village to death, can you also cut a wound and send a bottle of wound medicine?

A shadow figure sits closely behind Naruto and the Hokage's escort, secretly keeping them safe, and there is an extra small man in this dark group.

The purple-haired female ninja next to her glanced at the young ninja who had just joined the shadows, and wondered, "Tenzo, let his assessment task be to protect the soon-to-be-succeeded Hokage-sama in the village, is it really possible?" ”

"Well, don't worry!"

The leader of the squad looked back at the young man who was closely following them, and said softly, "A senior who once guided me told me that he is a very reliable person, especially when protecting the fifth Hokage-sama. ”

However, after he finished speaking, he was secretly muttering in his heart, "Kakashi-senpai, that guy has to be the one who came in... I don't have a choice..."

Tenzo didn't think about the little guy behind him.

Since Tsunade healed Sasuke's injuries, Kakashi Hachiki almost quickly arranged for Sasuke to join the shadows, codenamed Hawk.

At this moment, Uchiha Sasuke is in this team, with a mask on his face, and he is also secretly scolding the assessment task that Kakashi Hachiki specially selected for him, this task turned out to be to protect his old teammates?

!

Naruto Uzumaki still needs protection?

In the end, who protects whom, can't you have a little bit of a number in your heart?

According to Kakashi Hachiki, some ordinary raiders are not worthy of Hokage-sama's attack, and their shadows will need to be used at this time.

Isn't this a clear indication that he is poor?

Sasuke's mood was even worse.

Soon, the guard ninja noticed that Naruto's path was not quite right, and they frowned and said, "Hokage-sama, aren't we going to the Daimyo Mansion of the Land of Wind now?" ”

"Nope."

Naruto Uzumaki shook his head and said, "I've thought about it, going to the Daimyo Mansion of the Land of the Wind won't solve the problem, so I'm going to go directly to Sand Hidden Village, I'm going to see my Airo!" ”

"Huh?"

"But it's a high-level decision..."

"It was originally my decision."

Naruto Uzumaki didn't look back, but just said to himself, "If any of you feel that the mission to Sand Hidden Village is too dangerous, you can quit." ”

He really didn't want to take this group of guard ninjas with him.

Originally, he proposed to use violence to solve the troubles of the Daimyo Mansion of the Land of the Wind and the provocation of the Sand Hidden Village, and the Konoha higher-ups had already agreed, but this was far less fast than directly solving the Sand Hidden Village!

In this case, lest the Sand Hidden Village and the Konoha Village quarrel over this trivial matter.

Compared to those old people who were worried about the war, Naruto, who had experienced the battle of the future, knew more about the current power of the Sand Hidden Village...

To be honest, except for my Airo, the other sand ninja are not worth mentioning.

Of course, even I'm not worth mentioning in front of him.

"Hokage-sama, it's not a matter that we find dangerous..."

"If something goes wrong, we can't explain it to the village!"

"Please be sure to go as planned..."

"Hokage-sama!"

The persuasion of the guard ninja was useless, the young Hokage was extremely determined, and coupled with Naruto's fast speed, they could only stay far behind him.

Perhaps feeling impatient, Naruto finally got rid of the Hokage Guardian and sped up his journey on his own.

The ninjas in charge of the secret protection quickly noticed that the guardian shinobi was getting out of the protective range and chased after them.

When it was time for the Hokage's guards to rest, Tenzo chased after them because of his physical strength, and the remaining shadows surrounded him and joined the escorts.

The purple-haired woman looked at the same person and the few people in the Ignorant Fire Genma with dissatisfaction, and said in a deep voice: "Hey, what's the matter with you guys?" ”

"Go back to the village and report it!"

Kanko Genma panted and said, "If Hokage-sama wants to go straight to Sand Hidden Village, he must send someone to stop him!" ”

"What are you kidding, only a team of our shadows is by your side to protect, how could he suddenly go to Shayin Village!"

"It's too late."

The little man glanced at everyone present and said softly, "Naruto, that guy has more physical strength than everyone else, if we don't catch up with him, it is estimated that he will be the only one who will go to Sand Hidden Village at that time!" ”

"At least we have to send reinforcements in time."

The Hokage Guardian stuffed a soldier food pill into his mouth and said in a deep voice: "After we recover the chakra, use the Flying Thunder God Array to quickly turn Konoha around, and let the village send reinforcements over immediately!" ”

The little man looked at them with some confusion: "Aren't you the Hokage Guardian?" Shouldn't what should be done now is to keep Naruto safe... Is the Hokage Guardian spying on the Hokage, or protecting him! ”

"Hey, imp in the shadows, what do you mean!"

"Captain, don't be impulsive!"

"Hawk, shut up!"

The whole rest area suddenly came alive.

The words of the little man's shadow seemed to have caused the anger of the Hokage Guardians, and if it weren't for the critical situation now, it was estimated that there would be a fight between them first.

As his words spoke, a split arose between the Shinobi and the Shadows, with some believing that they should go back to the village to find reinforcements, while others thought that they should continue their mission and that they would have to pay with their lives to protect him, even if there was no way to persuade him to come back.

The disagreement quickly faded away, and the group of ninjas quickly came to an agreement.

"We are the Shadow Ministry, and we should die on the way to the mission."

One of the shadow ninja's words was very tragic, and it sounded particularly self-sacrificing: "If we return to the village, then what's the point of us, is it just to pass on the information that Hokage-sama may die in the Sand Hidden Village?"

If we die on the way to protect Hokage-sama, it will make him realize his mistake, and then he will grow up to be a real Hokage, not the freewheeling boy.

Have you forgotten the will of fire in the village? Where the leaves fly, the fire grows, and the light of the fire illuminates the village and allows new leaves to sprout..."

When it came to the last emotion, everyone present fell silent.

The corners of the little man's dark eyes twitched, as if he was looking at a group of mentally retarded people.

However, Xuanhuo came up and patted him on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Forget it about our group of people, this little guy shouldn't be sacrificed in this mission..."

“……”

The little man's face hidden under the mask is a little unsightly, what kind of fairy teammates are these!
