Chapter 13: Smoke

When Yuzo returned to Konoha, it was already three days later at night. Dressed in rags, he was stopped by two big dragons guarding the gate of Konoha because he didn't have a forehead guard and fell in that town, and he didn't have a letter of appointment for a mission, and that thing was taken by the leader of the crow, although the dark part basically doesn't pass through the gate of Konoha and is used here.

He had no choice but to stalemate with Shenyue Izumo and Gangzitie, and it was impossible to say the task of the dark department, and naturally he couldn't tell these two middle ninjas casually what happened to him.

Fortunately, there are still ways to confirm his identity, such as reporting the matter to Hokage-sama. The two people guarding the door are quite experienced, and similar things have not been encountered, and the ninja lost his forehead guard outside and has no other things to prove his identity, so it is best to report it to the Hokage's office and let people investigate, and it will soon be confirmed whether it is true or false.

Gangko Tetsu ran an errand and informed one of Hokage's assistants, telling him about Amazo's facial features and something.

The assistant who got the news was slightly stunned, he naturally knew that Yuzo was already a dark ninja. Lost your forehead protector and don't have a mission book? Is this the mission of the Shadow Division, something has happened? Those three generations of adults should already know, right?

He walked into the office and reported the incident to the three generations, who were somewhat dozing.

"What!" Miyo immediately expressed his shock, he had received a report that the Crow Squad had encountered Orochimaru, and after that, he had to give up the rescue of Amazo and return to Konoha. He knew that Yuzang was probably more than lucky, and a young genius fell into the hands of that guy Orochimaru like this, and he could already announce his death, which was really a pity.

Now, when he suddenly got the news that Yuzang had returned, his first feeling was surprise, and then he realized the hidden dangers in it. That is, Yuzang is the one who is abandoned, will he be resentful? This kind of thing has been learned before, so the darkness that has been covered up is not a little bit.

Calm down, as the leader of a village, he has too many things to consider, and the matter of not being affected by personal emotional factors to make a decision on Orochimaru is the most profound lesson: "In this case, you can bring him over first, and bring more guards!" Just in case! ”

"Yes, three generations of adults!" Although the assistant didn't particularly understand why the third generation asked him to bring more guards, he didn't hesitate or anything like that, and walked out of the office to find two shinobi guards to go to the gate of Konoha .

During the time of waiting, Yuzo watched with some boredom as the two middle ninjas checked the people who wanted to enter or leave Konoha one by one, there were all kinds of merchants, nobles, commoners and ninjas, and they seemed to be very busy.

Seeing that the Hokage's assistant, who had a one-sided relationship, came to pick him up with two shinobi guards, he knew that the third generation was probably not as relieved as he used to be. This is not only a means to guard against Orochimaru, but also to guard against himself. It's just that in this world, almost everything is like this, and he is not the genius disciple Orochimaru, who has won the love of three generations, nor is he the son of the fourth generation, Naruto, who is full of positive energy every day, and he must be on guard against this kind of thing.

After saying hello to Izumo and Gangzitetsu, the assistant took Yuzo to the bathhouse to take a bath first, changed into clean clothes, and then came to the three generations.

"Yuzang, this mission is really hard for you." The third generation watched the assistant withdraw, and then began to comfort: "You can't blame your teammates and captains, in that case, facing a dangerous person like Orochimaru, avoiding indifferent sacrifices is the most correct choice."

Listening to the words of the three generations, Yuzang naturally understood that these words were all reasonable. But it makes sense and it just makes sense, and once it is put on him, he can't accept it. Although some people may accuse him of being too double-standard, but what about the person in this world who doesn't look at everything with a double standard? Selfishness is such a thing, and Yuzang never feels that there is anything wrong with it.

At this time, he should probably vent his grievances loudly, or express his broad mind that doesn't care about everything, but standing in front of the three generations, he has always been silent and silent, and only answers when the three generations ask something.

This kind of performance is exactly what the three generations are most unwilling to see. If Yuzo complains, vents or even scolds his teammates, it at least shows that his mind is not complicated. If Yuzo shows an attitude that he doesn't care at all, even if the authenticity needs to be considered, the three generations of Hokage will feel somewhat relieved.

But there was no way for the third generation, and he continued: "How did the last two missions feel? The tasks of the dark part are a little difficult.,If you can't adapt to it, I can transfer you out of the dark part again.,Put it in the ninja class.,What do you think? ”

This kind of thing naturally doesn't follow the rules, but the idea of the third generation is to let him do D-class tasks for a while, and maybe the situation will get a little better. For this purpose, no one can stop him from doing such a thing in his right.

"No need, three generations of adults, I'm feeling okay in the shadows these days." Yuzang refused directly, he didn't want to turn his head and waste time at all. If he hadn't experienced the incident of Orochimaru, he would definitely be moved, and if he couldn't say it, he would really go back to pull weeds. But now, he has a sense of urgency, there is some conspiracy enveloping him, improving his strength is his most urgent need now, and leaving the shadows is the act of a fool.

"That's right, that's okay." The third generation said disappointedly: "In that case, then you can continue to work hard in the shadows, but do you need to find a new team?" I know you're uncomfortable, but it's all your fate as a ninja..."

Is it fate? Yuzo shook his head secretly in his heart, the Hokage is indeed a place that talks about fate, whether it is the prophecy of the Great Toad Immortal, or the reincarnation of Asura and Indra Chakra, all show the word fate.

But he doesn't belong to this established world!

"Thank you Hokage-sama for your concern, I don't think I need to change teams. Although this happened before, I understand that these are understandable, and I don't have any grudges in my heart, so please rest assured, Hokage-sama! Yuzang said this in his mouth, and the lines in his heart were only known to him.

Hearing this, the three generations took a puff of cigarette and nodded with some satisfaction. Anyway, as long as Yuzang has this statement, he will be able to feel more at ease.

However, when Yuzang left, he still said to the air behind him: "Next, let's monitor every move of Shinomiya Yuzang 24 hours a day." We can't take it lightly, especially since he has been in contact with Orochimaru, how weird this guy's methods are, you all know it! ”

"Yes!" Although I can't see anyone, someone still answered the words of the third generation, and it seems that it should be the shadows that are closely protected by the Hokage, and these shadows are at least at the upper ninja level.

Coming out of the Hokage Building, Yuzo naturally didn't know this, he looked at the scenery of Konoha Village, thinking back on the experience of the past few days, and had a feeling of being in a different world. The village is indeed a nice place, at least on the surface.

After escaping from Orochimaru's hands, Yuzo was carried by the clouds and flew for a long time before ending the empty path. After that, it took a few days to find a way to confirm his location and rush back to Konoha. The most important thing for him at this time is to go back and have a good rest.

However, there are still things left in the dark base, so you have to go there first.

After paying a little money, the management department that found the ninja's profile received a new amount of protection. On the way home to get the mask, he saw a cigarette shop, remembered the appearance of the three generations of smokers just now, and couldn't help but go over and buy a pack of cigarettes called "Konoha". It is said that this cigarette has been a brand since the beginning of Konoha and is loved by Konoha smokers.

Originally, he had always quit smoking, but today, he no longer wants to continue to quit smoking. If you want to smoke it, then smoke it, don't have a chance in the future.

Lit a deep breath, although psychologically he was an old smoker, but physically he was not, he was choked hard, coughed for a while, and tears came out.

But even if I was choked uncomfortably, I didn't mean to throw away the cigarette in my hand. The smoke was very strong, and the feeling of the spicy smoke circulating in his lungs made him feel like he was fluttering. This feeling is normal, I remember in my previous life, when he just started smoking, he smoked fast, and he would have a similar state.

A cigarette quickly burned out, and Yuzo put the pack of cigarettes in his ninja bag and continued to rush home.

Let's hurry up and get something from the shadows, and then come back to rest. Anyway, the three generations approved a two-day vacation, so let's practice for two days, and I don't know how Ino is doing now? Did you have fun doing the D-class mission?
