Hearing the news of White Fang's suicide, Kirito was stunned for a long time.

He couldn't believe that the strong man who stood up to the sky, the teacher who taught him sword techniques, ended his life like this.

For the first time, he was disappointed by the village's approach, but he couldn't do anything but spend the day at an izakaya to drink to his heart's content.

Not surprisingly, three days later, Kirito's status as the captain of the squad was revoked, and he was even expelled from the shadows, and he could only be an ordinary shinobi in the future.

On the same day, Kirito and Ling, who were covered in the smell of alcohol, received the news together.

However, Kirito's face did not change in the slightest, as if he had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and there was only confusion in his eyes, leaving the consequences and even the future behind.

You's face was full of complexity, and he wanted to say something, but he was stopped by Xia Sheng.

Xia Sheng's face sighed, as a Hyuga branch who was marked with the curse of the caged bird, he knew better than anyone how difficult it was to make his own choice.

Kirito is a family ninja, and it is self-evident how much damage his choice will bring to the family, but he is free in the end......

The dark part that passed the order stood there like a stake, Kirito smiled bitterly, and left the base of the dark department without looking back, his steps were crooked, revealing a gloom.

The cat-faced shadow turned to look at Ling, "The Shadow Spirit, Hokage-sama is going to summon you, now please go to the Hokage's office immediately." ”

There was no trace of emotion in his voice, just relaying Hokage's orders, and he left first.

Ling turned his head to glance at You and Xia Sheng, didn't say anything, turned around and followed the other party's footsteps.

What are the three generations summoning themselves at this time? Ling kept thinking in his heart.

Because you went to visit White Fang yourself? No, probably not, this kind of thing will not be asked openly anyway.

Could it be the position of the squad leader of the dark department? Ling's performance should have been promoted a long time ago, and now that the squad leader Kirito has been revoked, this is very likely.

Ling stopped thinking, and the Hokage's office had already appeared in front of him, because the dark base was under the Hokage's building, and it was very convenient to issue orders and defend security.

Boom! Boom!

"Come in!" A neutral voice came.

Ling pushed open the door and walked in, but the dark man closed the door and didn't follow.

Ling felt that there were a lot of vague aura fluctuations around the building, but there were only three generations of one person in the office.

"Ling, you're here." Three generations of charitable faces and deep eyes make it impossible to see what he thinks.

"Hokage-sama!" After saluting, Ling stood quietly in place.

"It's been more than half a year since you joined the Shadows!"

"It's been two hundred and seventy-four days." Ling Ning said in a loud voice.

"En......" the three generations pondered for a moment, "Are you still used to getting along with your teammates?" ”

"Thank you Hokage-sama for your concern, I'm all right in the shadows."

"Oh haha, that's good." Three generations smoked a dry cigarette and held a pipe in their mouths.

"Well, do you know anything about White Fang?" His face was a little melancholy, and he asked absently.

Ling was shocked in his heart, and his face remained silent, "Yes, Lord White Fang, he ...... His death was a great loss to the village. Ling appropriately showed a hint of sadness.

Then he said: "I also visited the White Fang seniors a few days ago, but I didn't expect ...... Alas~"

These things can be known with a little investigation, and Ling himself can dispel the suspicions of the three generations.

"Oh? You have a cousin who is a classmate of White Fang's son. ”

"Yes, Hokage-sama, he's an orphan like me, and he's a very talented kid." Ling smiled lightly and spoke.

"Hehe, I know, he and Kakashi are the second and first in the same grade, and they are both excellent children." The three generations had a happy face, but the arrangement for Kakashi in their hearts was very tricky.

White Fang's dead village has an unshirkable responsibility, and Kakashi's talent is so good, if it is taught well, it is the pillar of the village, and if it is hated, it is likely to bring disaster to the village.

He took a sharp puff of dry smoke and continued: "The captain of your team, Kirito, has not been in very good shape recently, so I'll let him rest for a while first, you know." ”

"Yes, Hokage-sama." Ling lowered his head and said, it is better not to get involved in this matter, the more you talk, the easier it is to be suspicious of the three generations.

"I also see your mission performance during this time, and you will be the leader of this team, no problem, right?" Three generations squinted their eyes, their faces full of kindness, and their eyes were full of love and trust.

"Thank you Hokage-sama, I won't let down the trust of the village." Ling Ningsheng assured, looking determined.

"Haha, I heard that you have developed a powerful ninjutsu called Spiral Pill......" The third generation still asked with squinted eyes, but the tone was affirmative, obviously not a question.

Ma Mai Piyo, why are you so slammed, you have to exchange the position of a squad leader for my Spiral Pill, and this position is also what I deserve...... Ling complained frantically in his heart.

But he couldn't refuse, the meaning of the three generations was already very clear, just waiting for him to offer the spiral pill with his own hands, looking at the smiling Ling of the three generations, Ling You was extremely resentful.

"Yes, Hokage-sama, this Muji ninjutsu is extremely useful in battle, and I am willing to dedicate it to the village." Ling has a noble appearance of contributing to the village.

As he spoke, a light blue ball of light appeared in his right hand, and his gorgeous appearance exuded an aura of destruction.

Whew!

Figures flashed in an instant, enveloping Ling.

"Alright, you go down, there is no danger here." The third generation waved his hand and said absently, his mind was abducted by the Muji Ninjutsu Spiral Pill.

Because he has mastered most of the ninjutsu in the village, he is known as the "Doctor of Ninjutsu", and he can feel the surprise of Spiral Pill even more.

"Okay, it's really a powerful technique." The three generations praised without hesitation.

He was silent for a moment, as if he felt that he was too inauthentic, and used the position of a squad leader to deceive Ling with such a powerful ninjutsu.

Or maybe he really wanted to win over Ling, so he placed unusual trust in this ten-year-old child, even though he was a child of the Uchiha clan.

The three generations pondered for a moment, and said charitoly: "I can't take such a powerful ninjutsu from you for nothing, you can come with me." ”

Three generations took the lead out of the office with a pipe in their right hand behind their backs.

Ling followed behind him, secretly rejoicing in his heart, the three generations are still very good.

As expected, the two came to a secret room, and the three generations opened the door with a few spells with both hands.

Looking at the heavy stone gate that was half a meter thick, Ling was secretly speechless, the possibility of wanting to sneak in was extremely low, and it would take a lot of time to break the stone gate, and there was an early warning barrier outside.

So if Konoha doesn't mess up and wants to steal the Book of Seals, unless he has the strength to defy the sky, it will be tantamount to a dream.
