Chapter Forty-Nine: The Art of Attacking the Heart

Sarutobi's gaze crossed Hinata's Mukai and landed on Uchiha Itachi behind him, a look of displeasure on his face.

Uchiha Itachi bowed his head slightly, not looking at Sarutobi Hizagi, and the accusations of Hinata Mukai were unheard.

The expression on his face was faint, and he couldn't see any emotional fluctuations.

"I don't need a ninja like this in my squad who doesn't obey orders. Moreover, a person who can't even perform a small infiltration mission doesn't deserve to be a ninja of Konoha ... ”

Hinata Mukai unceremoniously looked directly at Itachi Uchiha, his words full of disdain.

"Uchiha Itachi, what do you explain about this...

Ape Fei Ri's tone became stern.

It's understandable for a ninja to disobey a command during a mission, but it's absolutely unacceptable to run away for fear.

If it happens, it will be a stain on the ninja's life.

Sarutobi glanced at Danzo with disgruntled eyes, as if questioning his way of looking at people.

The Uchiha Itachi was silent, just raised his head slightly, and calmly looked directly into Hinata's eyes that were about to spew sparks.

After a long time, he sighed softly.

"Knock knock...

There was a knock on the door to the Hokage's office, and a dark man wearing an ape-faced mask hurriedly pushed the door in.

Darkbe respectfully placed a white document on the long table in front of Ape Flying Sun and turned to leave.

Before leaving, his gaze lingered on Itachi Uchiha's body for a long time.

There was admiration in his eyes, and there was a hint of fear.

Sarutobi picked up the papers on the table, and a look of disbelief gradually appeared on his face.

Tuan Zang's body leaned back slightly, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a shallow smile.

There was silence in the room.

"Hokage-sama, please consider my request carefully, no matter what, I don't want to let such a ninja stay in my team...

As if he couldn't stand the strange atmosphere in the room, Hinata Mukai finally spoke again.

"Why don't you explain...

Sarutobi Hizashi did not hesitate to interrupt Hinata's request to Mukai.

He looked at Itachi Uchiha, his voice containing very mixed emotions.

"Many people always like to measure others by their own abilities, preferring to trust their first feelings rather than face reality. If this is the case, what is there to explain ... ”

Uchiha Itachi's voice is flat and calm,

"From the first time he saw me after leaving Shayin Village, Captain Mukai never gave me a chance to speak. He didn't ask me a word about the mission. In that case, why should I do anything more ... ”

"What did you say...

Hinata Mukai stared at him coldly.

"I mean, you're not as strong as you think you are. Just because you can't do it doesn't mean that others can't do it either. It took a lot of effort for you to fight your way out of the Sand Hidden Village, thinking that I couldn't do it under the same circumstances. Later, when they saw that I was intact, they took it for granted that I had not infiltrated the village at all and became a deserter. Ignoring a simple fact ... ”

Uchiha Itachi's voice suddenly became like a piece of ice,

"The fact is that you're too weak. As long as you can look at one thing, it's not a problem. But you can't realize this, and it's ridiculous and sad to stage a big drama of fighting sand in front of me... ”

Uchiha Itachi's harsh words were like a hammer striking Hinata's heart.

His face turned pale in an instant, and his hands trembled unnaturally.

Itachi Uchiha managed to make a small hole in his mental defenses.

Then, the monstrous flood instantly broke his defenses.

He turned his head blankly,

"Hokage-sama..."

Holding on to the last shred of hope, he set his sights on the ape flying sun.

"Uchiha Itachi did a great job of sabotaging the talks between the Sand Hidden Village and the Fog Hidden Village."

Ape Fei Hinata looked at Hinata Mukai with some pity,

After Xiaoshan was killed by the Sand Hidden Shadows, he successfully assassinated the Misty Messenger and obtained the relevant documents of the Secret Treaty. With this warning, there will be no similar cooperation between Wuyin Village and Shayin Village for a long time. ”

His gaze fell on Itachi Uchiha,

"Well done, Itachi Uchiha. I am very happy with your performance. ”

"This is impossible, there were more than a hundred sand ninjas gathered near the conference room at that time, and there were ninjas of the level of Kazekage, he was just an eleven-year-old imp, how could it be...

Hinata murmured to Mukai, a look of despair on her face.

And the red fire standing on the side was already stunned.

"Mukai, you don't have to worry too much about this, after all, Uchiha Itachi just became your subordinate when he carried out this mission, and you don't know him yet... So... ”

Ape Fei Ri said comfortingly.

"Hokage-sama, please agree to Hinata's request to Captain Mukai."

Uchiha Itachi said suddenly.

He had already managed to stab a thorn in Hinata's heart, so all he had to do now was to make the thorn a little deeper and make the wound wider.

Only in this way can he have more psychological advantages before the life-and-death battle with Hinata Mukai.

"What..."

Ape Fei Ri slashed his face in surprise,

Hinata Mukai also raised her head, and her face had turned a dead gray color.

He had already guessed what the Uchiha Itachi was going to say next.

Hinata Mukai is a very proud ninja, and the embarrassment of life can't smooth out his proud heart.

It is precisely because of this that he will agree to the conditions of Wuyin Village and become a spy.

His pride and self-confidence come from his own strong strength.

However, in just a few words, his self-confidence and self-esteem were completely destroyed by Uchiha Itachi.

"He doesn't deserve to be my captain...

Uchiha Itachi's words pierced Hinata Mukai's heart like a sharp sword.

At that moment, Hinata Mukai felt his heart stop beating.

He is Konoha's top physical ninja, and with the white eye of his left eye, he is almost invincible in close combat.

However, a little ghost who was only eleven years old completely crushed him with just a few fluttering words.

"I'll discuss this at the next regular meeting of the upper echelons of Konoha, so you guys should go back first."

Ape Fei Ri Slash sighed deeply, thought for a moment, and added:

"Xiangjing, this mission will be credited to your team, and the mission reward will also be distributed according to the normal standard."

"Thank you, Hokage-sama."

Hinata bowed her head deeply to Mukai and saluted to Sarutobi.
