Chapter 58: Panic
Where there is light, there is darkness. The dark part of Konoha is where this sentence is interpreted to the extreme. This department established by the second Hokage is to inherit the dark side left by the ninjas of the Warring States period.
Assassination, sabotage, surprise attack, theft of important items.......
This series of tasks that cannot be completed under the sun is done by the dark side.
"Jiraiya-sama!"
In order to control the elite killing force of the Konoha Dark Division, the high-level of the Thousand Hands One Series has set up a very strict monitoring system. The Konoha Shadow Department has every action, although it is not revealed, but it will leave an action file.
On duty in the dark archives room tonight, it was Mao Yue Xiyan, who was very surprised to see Zilai hurriedly walking in.
Mao Yue Xiyan is a big beauty, and when she usually meets her, she will always subconsciously tease her twice. Mao Yue Xiyan has long been used to it, and although he is lustful, he is not obscene.
It's just that today, Zilai has a serious face, and when he sees Mao Yue and Xixi, there is no usual frivolity and absurdity.
"I need to bring up the Dark Ministry's mission file in the Land of Rain."
"Jiraiya-sama, you don't have this permission."
Although I have never seen such a serious Jiraiya, Mao Yue Xiyan still sticks to her own work and does not let Jiraiya easily check the files.
Jiraiya has a prominent position in Konoha and is an apprentice of three generations and a master of four generations. However, he does not have a position in Konoha and does not have access to archives that only Konoha executives can access.
"I'll ask the old man for permission later. Believe me, this matter has a lot to do with Konoha's safety, and in a few hours it will be the inheritance ceremony of the water gate. It may be too late. ”
"This..."
Mao Yue Xiyan is not a pedantic person after all, so he agreed to Jiraiya's request.
"Come with me! Jiraiya adult. ”
The files in the dark department are still all paper-based materials, and Utsuki Xiyan took Jiraiya to the corner of the archive room and said, "The archives of the Land of Rain should be here." ”
"Thank you!"
Jiraiya thanked him, and regardless of anything else, he searched.
The archives store all the materials since the establishment of the Dark Division, and they are as vast as a sea of smoke. There is a full row of information on the Land of Rain alone.
Fortunately, these materials are classified according to the year, and the scope of Ziraiya's search is much smaller all of a sudden.
"Xiyan, why was this record of the actions of the dark part deleted?"
Zilai also searched for a long time, and finally found a trace of clues.
"Oh? I have the impression that this mission is a joint effort between the dark department and the root. I don't know the exact content of the mission, but later the three generations asked to delete the mission records. ”
"Old man?"
The sun was born, and the sunlight dispelled the cold of the night, illuminating the entire Konoha Village.
The sun had not yet fully risen, and the square in front of the Hokage Building had already begun to build a high platform.
In the Hokage Building, Sarutobi Hiza was busy all night, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, Nara Shikamaru is young, and in the heart of Sarutobi Hichisha, he can also inherit the will of fire and become the power to protect Konoha Village.
It's just that, before that, Ape Fei Sun Slash must put all uncontrollable factors under his supervision.
The recent anomalies in Konoha Village have been linked to Shikamaru. He didn't have any evidence, but that didn't prevent Ape Fei from making a series of inferences and verifying them.
So, after getting Shikaku's approval, Sarutobi returned to the Hokage Building that night and found an unused office. A complete set of monitoring and protection systems for Shikamaru has been developed.
Some noisy sounds outside came to his ears, and Ape Feiri shook his head and said self-deprecatingly: "It seems that I am old, and my energy is not as good as before!" ”
Sarutobi was about to get up and prepare to participate in the Hokage's succession ceremony, when Jiraiya hurriedly barged in.
"Ahh I just wanted to ask you something, how do you feel about Shikamaru when you saw Nara Shikamaru and Orochimaru together on the Hokage Rock that day? ”
"Now is not the time to dwell on this kind of thing, what did Tuanzang do in the Land of Rain? What is this deleted action log? "Ape Fei Ri Slash has never seen such a Jiraiya, serious with a hint of urgency.
After all, things are a little long ago, looking at the files that Ziraiya brought, Ape Fei Ri Slash recalled for a long time before remembering.
"Danzo told me that there is an organization called Akatsuki in the Land of Rain. They continued to grow bigger and threatened Konoha's secret interests, so they applied for an extermination order. ”
"What!"
"What's wrong? Self-lai, too? ”
Sarutobi asked.
Jiraiya sighed and stood for a long time before he said slowly: "During the Second Ninja World War, I took in three apprentices in the Land of Rain, Yahiko, Konan and Nagato. I later heard that when they became adults, in order to fulfill their ambitions, they formed an organization called Akatsuki in the Land of Rain. Yesterday, when I was chasing Orochimaru, I saw Yahiko outside of Konoha again. He told me that he wanted revenge, and it seemed that he was coming for Konoha. ”
"At that time, Danzang told me that the mission was a failure. Due to Hanzo's negligence, Akatsuki's leader and important high-ranking officials fled. ”
Looking at Jiraiya, who was obviously relieved, Ape Fei Ri Slash couldn't be relaxed. The dark circles on his face seemed to have aggravated a little, and the whole person was in a state of anxiety.
"Recently, in order to hold the Hokage Succession Ceremony, we have purchased a lot of materials from outside, and in addition to the ninjas from the ninja villages of various countries, a large number of people have entered Konoha. If Yahiko had entered Konoha through normal channels, the Enchantment Patrol would not have been able to find out. ”
When Ape Fei was thinking, he glanced at Jiraiya, but saw that the other party looked like he wanted to say something.
"Jiraiya, are you hiding something?"
Ape Fei Ri Slash knew this disciple of his very well and asked.
"I found the eye of reincarnation on Nagato's body, and I don't know the specific ability for the time being. But if it's not just Yahiko who comes to Konoha this time, but all three of them, the final result is unpredictable. ”
For the safety of Konoha, in the end, Jiraiya still told what he had been hiding.
"What did you say!"
Even the long-standing ape Fei Ri Slash reacted a little when he heard the news. There was a clear pause in the entire body of Ape Fei Ri Slash, and then he said, "It's too late to stop the inheritance ceremony, we can only think of remedies as much as possible." Notify the Dark Ministry, Root, Konoha Garrison, Medical Department, and Interrogation Department, and put all of them on emergency alert. If Xiao Zhen attacks, try to minimize the damage. ”
At this moment, the entire Hokage building seemed to be in an unusually busy state.
