Chapter 181: Expansion of the Shadow Squad
After hearing Sarutobi's words, Toshihiko was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Okay." ”
Not to mention what Sarutobi had to discuss with him, Toshihiko naturally had to report to the Hokage about the Vortex Country mission this time, as the captain of the dark part.
"That... Then I'll go see my aunt first~! ”
And at this time, Vortex Xia Wei also said very well-behaved.
Originally, Natsui Uzumaki still wanted Toshihiko to accompany him, but now it seems that it shouldn't work.
Moreover, Hokage-sama asked Toshihiko to discuss things, and it was not good for her to stay here and listen.
"Good~!" Toshihiko nodded slightly.
Soon led by the members of the Shadow Division, Natsu Uzumaki left the Hokage's office.
"Let's talk about the experience of the Vortex Country this time."
Seeing Xia Wei leaving, Ape Fei Ri Chop picked up the pipe on the table again, and after taking a sharp puff, he asked slowly.
Hearing this, Toshihiko also truthfully reported this mission to Ape Fei Ri Slash, after all, this was originally his duty.
"Ghost Lantern Jingyue, it's interesting, I guess this old guy can't imagine that one day it will fall to such a point."
Regarding the speculation about the attack on the Vortex Country by the Fog Hidden Village, Toshihiko already knew about it when he transferred the information about the Ghost Lantern Clan from the dark department from Konoha before.
However, he never imagined that the captive who had been held in the Vortex Country for so long would be the former patriarch of the Ghost Lantern Clan, Ghost Lantern Jingyue.
The impression of this old guy is not deep.
Haruka remembers that many years ago, a ninja squad composed of Sarutobi, Danzo, and Uchiha Mirror went all the way to the Land of Water because of the pursuit and killing of a Konoha traitorous ninja.
According to the clues, they easily discovered the traces of this traitor.
I thought that I could annihilate it smoothly, but who would have thought that the traitor had already carefully planned everything, and not to mention taking refuge in Wuyin Village, he also set a trap to prepare to annihilate these three disciples of the Thousand Hands in one fell swoop.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Tuan Zang realized that something was wrong and did not step into the encirclement of the other party.
But even so, the three of them were still chased and killed by Wuyin Village.
And that time, the leader of the Fog Hidden Village was the patriarch of the Ghost Lantern Clan, Ghost Lantern Jingyue.
thought that they were chased and killed like lost dogs, but I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the other party had become Konoha's prisoner.
I have to say that this thing of fate is really magical sometimes.
"Okay, let's put the matter of the ghost lantern Jingyue first, I have other things to discuss with you"
Anyway, now that the ghost lamp Jingyue is already a prisoner of Konoha at the doorstep, Ape Fei Ri has time to play with him.
You must know that as the former patriarch of the Ghost Lantern Clan, the value of the Ghost Lantern Jingyue is very high.
Not to mention that he knew many unknown secrets in the Fog Hidden Village, just relying on the secret technique 'Hydration Technique' mastered by the Ghost Lantern Clan, it was enough to make the ape Fei Sun Slash pay attention to it.
"What's the matter?"
"Regarding the expansion of the dark department, of course, it is only on a small scale, mainly to make up for the number of your squad, anyway, you are also the leader of the seventh squad of the dark department now, how many people to recruit, which people to recruit, I feel that I want to discuss with you, do you have any specific candidates."
Looking at Toshihiko, Ape Fei Ri said softly.
"Do you want to choose a new person to enter the dark department? I don't have any opinions, everything is up to my brother's arrangement. Toshihiko said after pondering for a moment.
If it were a different time, Toshihiko might have recruited some familiar guys into their team, but there didn't seem to be anyone worth recruiting right now.
In that case, it's better to let the ape fly the sun to decide.
"Since you said so, then I'll arrange it directly then?" Sarutobi pursed his lips and smiled at Toshihiko in an inquiring manner.
"Yes." Toshihiko nodded directly.
To be honest, Toshihiko is not very interested in the arrangement of the dark personnel, but I don't know why, he always has a feeling that he is being tricked.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but when I saw that I showed an indifferent attitude, my senior brother seemed to be relieved.
"Okay, then let's do this first, I'll inform you of the personnel arrangements at that time."
As if he was afraid that Toshihiko would regret it, Ape Fei Ri quickly made a decision this time.
Although there are still doubts in his heart, but the words have come to this, and Toshihiko will not say more.
Later, after leaving the Hokage's office, Toshihiko also walked towards his house.
No one?
After pushing open the door, Toshihiko was slightly surprised to see that there was no movement in the house.
Originally, he thought that Hinata Ningyue would be at his house.
After all, every time Toshihiko went out on a mission in the past, Hinata Ningyue would choose to stay at his house, and by the way, he would clean up.
And when I came back this time, not only did I not see Hinata Ningyue, but even judging from the traces in the house, no one should have been here for a while.
Although he was a little confused, Toshihiko didn't think much about it, and as for cleaning, he was really not interested in it now.
After all, he had just returned from the country of vortex, and he also needed a good rest.
So after taking a hot bath, Toshihiko chose to sleep.
And after waking up, Toshihiko also received an invitation from the Thousand Hands Room.
It's not a big deal, just have dinner together.
There is no doubt that this dinner party is naturally to wash the dust for the whirlpool Xia Wei.
And when Toshihiko arrives at Senjuma's house and sees the whirlpool Mito on the sofa, Tsunade and Uzumaki Natsumi are the only ones who talk and laugh.
Putting Tsunade aside, it can be seen from the expressions of Uzumaki Xia Wei and Vortex Mito that the aunt and nephew who met for the first time chatted very closely.
As for Toshihiko's arrival, Natsui Uzumaki and Tsunade both seemed very happy, and Uzumaki Mito also showed a loving smile.
However, her gaze moved back and forth on Toshihiko, Tsunade, and Uzumaki Xia Yusanxiao from time to time, which made Toshihiko feel a trace of pressure inexplicably.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, a thousand hands called him into the study.
Although he had already learned about Toshihiko and the others' experiences in the country of Vortex from the ape flying sun.
However, he still asked Toshihiko about some details, especially about the post-processing of the ghost lantern Jingyue.
It can be said that Toshihiko and Senju talked a lot that night, and after dinner, Toshihiko also went home alone.
As for Uzumaki Xia Wei's words, he was naturally arranged to live in the residence of the Thousand Hands Clan.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, five days have passed.
In the past five days, Toshihiko has had a very easy time, spending most of his time with Xia Wei Uzumaki, occasionally taking time to train.
And on the same day, Toshihiko also received a notice about the entry of the dark personnel.
After all, this time it was to add members to Toshihiko's team, and as the captain, he naturally had to be there.
Including Sakumo Hagi and others, because they were also curious about who their future teammates were.
At 3 p.m., the Shadow Department was stationed.
In the dimly lit cavern, three new members of the Shadows stand in a row at the meeting point.
Each one had a serious expression on their faces.
After all, being able to enter the shadows is an honor for the ninjas of Konoha.
Soon, accompanied by Sakumo Hagi and others, Toshihiko also came to the meeting point.
However, the moment he saw the three newcomers, Toshihiko's expression changed suddenly.
