"What a fierce battle, what the hell is going on over there?"

Although he didn't witness the battlefield on Kakashi's side and Onihim, with the water bombarding the ground and the falling trees that accompanied the occasional thunderous roar, Red could tell that the battle on the side was urgent, and both sides seemed to be attacking their opponents with their own kills.

In this case, Red can no longer tell who is more dominant.

"Hinata, can you see the scene over there?"

The red face turned, and he looked at Hinata next to him and asked.

She wanted to know what's going on on Kakashi's side.

Hinata opened her eyes, shook her head, and said in a self-reproachful tone, "I'm sorry, Hong-sensei, I can't see the battlefield on Kakashi-sensei's side,

The whites of my eyes are not far enough away.

Although the white eye has the ability to see from a distance and see through, Hinata's white eye is limited in the distance it can observe.

The battlefield where Kakashi and the oni shark were located was beyond the distance she could observe.

Red wasn't too disappointed, with Hinata's level, it was indeed difficult to bring out the ability of the white eye.

As far as she knew, the distance that an adult Hyuga clan Kamishinobi could observe was about a kilometer.

And Hinata's strength is probably worse than that of the middle ninja, and it is estimated that the distance of two hundred meters is the limit of Hinata's eyes at this time.

"That's okay, just protect yourself."

Red was reassured.

Hinata lowered her head, still feeling guilty for her lack of strength,

In fact, she didn't have to blame herself at all, even a ninja of Hong's level wanted to intervene in such a battle, and it was very reluctant, let alone a ninja.

Are we just watching? “

Naruto asked reluctantly, as if he wanted to go up and help.

"Don't be impulsive! Your ascent will only get in the way, distracting Kakashi and Kai from protecting you. "

Red seriously dismissed Naruto's desire to go up and help.

Although she is a new shinobi, she still has eyesight, and Naruto's ninja is quite good compared to her peers, but this is not a battle that he can meddle in.

Moreover, this is a life-and-death struggle without the so-called non-killing rule, and Naruto, who is a human pillar force, is the primary object of protection, and there can be no accidents.

"What about Asma Shangshinobi? You can detect the anomaly here, and he can't not. "

Sasuke is also very unwilling, but he knows that he will only help if he goes up to fight with Touch, and if he wants to join such a battle, at least he must be able to do it if he is shinobi

"He's keeping the camp safe, maybe there's someone else watching in the dark, and there's going to have to be a shinobi guard there."

Red replied.

Then, she refocused her gaze on Kaiwa, her eyes flickering, looking for an opportunity to strike.

However, his every move can be called impeccable, and while fighting Kai in physical skills, he can also have room to pay attention to the movements around him, calm and calm, and his face has not changed from beginning to end.

Itachi's calmness makes people feel more red and stressed.

If she went up, it was likely that she had been ruthlessly defeated by Itachi's overwhelming physical skills.

And the illusion competition that she is best at, she doesn't think that her illusion can defeat the writing wheel, and she is thankful that she can remain undefeated.

Kunai and nunchucks collided with each other, and in the dim forest, the sound of metal clashing continued to explode, and sparks were everywhere.

With strength, speed, and reflexes, the Itachi can keep up with ease.

In other words, his poker face that has not changed for 10,000 years makes it impossible to read from his face whether he has used all his strength or not.

The green tendons on both sides of Kai's temples began to beat, his skin was in a state of congestion, his eyes were staring at Glaze's every move, and the countless stick shadows that he swung out in an instant, no matter which direction he attacked, were intercepted by the touch kunai, and he couldn't touch Yu's body.

"Water Escape, Water Tooth Bomb!"

It's this kind of ninjutsu that seems to be released without a seal,

Spiraling jets of water appear everywhere, striking towards Kai's body.

Kai flashed backwards, and the spiral column of water flew into the air.

Then, countless shuriken occupied the field of vision in front of him, and at some point they flew out of Itachi's hand, and all the attacks were perfectly connected, one ring after another, so that Kai didn't even have a chance to breathe.

Kai stomped on the ground, and the shadow of the stick swept out, knocking down all the shurikens and gasping slightly.

Itachi's shoulders are also slightly swaying, although his face is still in a comfortable posture, but it is obvious that after such a long period of high-explosive physical technique,

His physical strength was also a little overwhelmed.

Kai, who wants to block the five-door state, is more difficult than he imagined.

"Looks like you're not quite able to eat my attacks."

Kai was still in the mood to smile, but the solemn color in his eyes lingered.

Being able to fight with him in such an indistinguishable state of the five gates, and the ability to integrate into physical skills made him extremely surprised.

It's no wonder that his strength is so admired by Kakashi.

Glaze pursed his lips and didn't say a word, he didn't like to say some meaningless words in battle, it was just a waste of physical strength,

At that moment, Itachi's eyes flickered, and a figure jumped up to him.

The posture is quite embarrassed, there are a few more wounds cut out by the blade on the coat of the red cloud on a black background, and the skin on the back of the hand is also a little scorched, but he firmly grasps the bandage knife in his hand, and stares fiercely ahead,

Kakashi appeared beside Kai at some point, standing side by side, reconfronting Itachi and Onabashi.

Kakashi was also a little out of breath, his clothes were wet and somewhat torn, and like a ghost, he grabbed the short knife in his hand with a calm posture and did not relax.

"You look like you're embarrassed, Kakashi."

"Don't talk about me, aren't you? This guy's strength is extraordinary, and even you may not be able to match him. And his weapon is capable of sucking my chakra. "

Kakashi said, glancing at Kai.

"So, do you want to change your opponent next? Itachi used to be your subordinate, and you should be better suited to deal with him than I am. "

Kay suggested.

Kakashi didn't speak, just held the knife and stared at Itachi and the ghost.

"If you want to take them down, you may need to show real skills. Such a painless attack is useless for them. ”

The ghost turned to Itachi.

Itachi was silent for a moment and said, "It seems that there is no way to recover the legacy of the four generations of Hokage this time. "

"Huh? What do you mean..."

"Since the sneak attack failed, then taking Naruto away is meaningless."

Rong gave up the idea of continuing to fight.

"Let's go, there is no point in staying here, if we continue to fight, maybe we will suffer even more, there is no need to rush for a while, it is enough to collect intelligence here."

With that, the ferret turned and galloped backwards, and walked away very simply.

The oni shark took a deep look at Kakashi and the others, and ran after the touch, leaving the place.

Seeing Itachi and the oni flee so cleanly, Kai and Kakashi's bodies relaxed, as if they had escaped a vicious battle.

In fact, if the battle really continues, in a two-on-two situation, the two of them don't need to be afraid.

It's just that when there are still people present, it's too clumsy to let go of your hands and feet to fight, and if you're not careful, it may affect your own people.

What's more, in this situation, protecting Naruto is the most important thing, rather than dealing with the traitorous ninja who attacked the human pillar force.

"Is it over?"

Red walked over with the three of Naruto.

The slightly swollen muscles on Kai's body began to shrink and return to normal, the color of his skin also returned to normal complexion, and the strong chakra fluctuations on his body disappeared, without leaking excess energy.

"It should be over, even if they go and turn back, the result will be the same as before. With Naruto as the goal, they should be affiliated with an organization."

Kaisson said in a sigh.

Although he was not a member of the Shadow Division, he had heard a little about a certain organization that was capturing tailed beasts throughout the ninja world.

"Well, it seems that after I go back, I will solemnly report to Hokage-sama. I hope that the next road back will be safe. "

Kakashi put away the White Fang Blade and placed it in the scabbard behind his back.

Looking at Sasuke, who looked unwilling, Kakashi said:

"Don't worry too much, you can't be Itachi's opponent right now. If you aim for him, let's get stronger for me. ”

"You don't need to say this kind of thing, of course I know!"

The corners of Sasuke's mouth twitched slightly, with an unhappy tone.

He was the most seriously injured in the group, and now he was barely able to walk, and needed Naruto's help to walk normally.

Then, Kakashi looked at Naruto, who was about to say something, and said, "Regarding this incident, I will explain to you when I go back, now that we have to leave overnight, it is no longer safe here." Red, inform Asma's side and rush back to Konoha as soon as possible. "

"Good!"

Red nodded, headed back in the direction of the camp, asked that there stop the camp, and hurried back to Konoha Village overnight to minimize the danger.

For the next day, under the leadership of Kakashi, a group of sixteen people rushed day and night, without stopping on the road, galloping in the direction of Konoha.

If you are hungry, you can directly eat the cold rice balls bought on the side of the road, or use the military food pills to supplement the chakra and physical strength consumed, as a thing to satisfy hunger until ten in the morning of the third day, Kakashi and the others finally returned to Konoha Village, and when they saw the familiar buildings in the village that they had not seen for a long time, everyone felt more cordial in their hearts, and their sense of security was greatly increased, and they no longer had to worry about being attacked by people on the way.

"Let's all go back and rest, let's report on this mission."

Asma spoke.

He told the shinobi to return to their respective homes to rest, and the shinobi handed over the mission report to the Hokage.

Naruto waited for Shinobu to not have the slightest opinion, dragging his tired body, and after saying goodbye, they all returned to their homes and began to rest.

Looking at the ninjas who went back to their respective homes, Asma and the others turned their eyes back, and after glancing at each other, although they also wanted to go home and sleep, but before that, they still needed to finish the mission report, and it was not time to completely relax.

At this time, it happened that not long after the Hokage went to work, the staff in the Hokage Building began a new day of governance.

"Yo, Kakashi, how many of you are back so soon?"

In the hallway of the Hokage building, a young ninja walked up to him.

The ninja suit on his body is slightly lighter in color, so you can know that this is a middle ninja.

— Steel Iron.

Although he is only a middle ninja, his strength is also a leader among the middle ninjas, and he has the potential to become a top ninja.

The direction he was coming from should have just come out of the office where the Hokage was.

"yes, is it for you to rest with Izumo today?"

Kakashi nodded, he hadn't been at the main entrance of Konoha before, and when he saw Gangko Tetsu and his good partner Kamizuki Izumo, he knew that today was the two of them taking turns off.

"Yes, I'll come over and hand over the task, Izumo has already gone back. I'm going back to rest soon. “

Gangzitie nodded.

"That's really hard."

"Compared to you ninjas, our hard work is nothing at all. However, you are the first batch of shinobi to return from the land of ghosts. “

Gangzitie said.

The Konoha Shinobi who went to the country of ghosts this time were far more than that, but because those shinobi did not go to the country of ghosts with a mission, they entered the country of ghosts as tourists, so they were relatively free in their movements.

Kakashi's leadership of the Shinobi is different, if there are no special circumstances, their time to return to the village will be limited, and they must return to the village safely within the specified time.

A few days after the end of the middle ninja exam, they returned directly to Konoha and did not dare to stay.

"Well, there's a boom in business and tourism, and it's a great place to take a vacation."

"That's great, I'll go there next time. So, I won't bother you, and I'll see you later. “

"See you later."

After saying goodbye to each other, the four of them walked unhindered to the door of the Hokage's office, knocked on the door, and entered.

The image of the three generations Hokage, who was smoking a pipe in the office early in the morning, is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Although Red was a little dissatisfied with the smell of tobacco in the office, he could only endure it helplessly in the face of the Hokage.

From a ninja's point of view, you really shouldn't get contaminated with tobacco or anything else, as it will not only wear down the ninja's willpower, but also make it easy for people to get the smell of tobacco and be used by the enemy in battle.

Asma was used to it, and if he hadn't noticed the red eyes, he would have wanted to take out a cigarette and smoke it.

But for now, forget it.

As usual, put the cigarette in your mouth, did not light it with a lighter, just posed for smoking.

"Ahem."

The three Hokages coughed because of the smell of tobacco.

The furrow-like wrinkles on the face are deeper, and the tiredness is also obvious, obviously in a high-intensity work state these days, and the body feels worse day by day.

It's just that he feels good, and quitting smoking is more painful for him than his body, even though his body is very old.

"Thank you for your hard work this time, the video of the middle ninja exam, after the country of ghosts had been sorted out and sent over yesterday, I had already seen it. As for the rating of the middle ninja, it will take a little time here to make a list of those who pass it,"

Naruto, who reached the finals, was something that Hinata didn't expect.

At first, he thought that Sasuke and Ninji's grades would be even better.

But he didn't expect Ning Ci to be eliminated directly in the first round, and he was still defeated by the opposing player with overwhelming strength.

Sasuke persevered to the second round, and he did his best, and Hizaki was not easy to force, knowing that that was Sasuke's limit.

Naruto was the only one, and he put a question mark on him.

He didn't know what Kakashi and Jiraiya had done to Naruto, but it was clear that it wasn't Naruto's own power.

What exactly it is, it needs to be further observed.

Therefore, in the list of qualified people for the middle ninja, Hinata did not hesitate to cross out Naruto's name.

The first round of exams was seriously unqualified, and there was a serious lack of basic knowledge and intelligence-gathering skills, although there was some judgment ability, but it did not affect the final evaluation.

Rather than the scores on paper, the test takers pay more attention to the process of answering in the first round of the exam, rather than the answers themselves.

After that, Naruto's game was remarkable, although his strength was enough, but he became a few other important abilities of the middle ninja, which stood out in Naruto's shortcomings.

Hizai can only regretfully look forward to Naruto's performance next year.

And Sasuke and Ninji, although they failed in the exam, performed well and had the qualities necessary for a shinobi.

Shikamaru of the Nara family, who was eliminated miserably due to the qualifiers, did not have a chance to show his true strength, and like Naruto, waited for next year's fight.

"Yes, Hokage-sama. In addition, we have one more thing to report.

Kakashi walked out and said.

"What's the matter?"

"We were attacked on the way by the Uchiha Touch and the Kaki Oni, and they were coming for Naruto."

Kakashi's face was serious.

"Itachi? It's really a long-lost name, has that organization been so quick to take it anymore? “

Hizashi knew very well that Rong was attacking Kakashi and the others not to capture Naruto, but to use this fake attack to hint at some information to his side.

But because this kind of transmission of information is too warm, Richo can't judge what message Rong wants to send.

There is only one thing that can be confirmed, the danger of this organization is getting higher and higher, which makes Rong start to fidget, and he tells Konoha through the way of attack, hoping that Konoha will prepare early and can no longer passively fight back.

"Yes, there's Sasuke's thing at the end"

"Phew, things are getting trickier. You three go down first, Kakashi. "

Hisashi's face was solemn, and Kakashi was left alone to negotiate.

When the other three shinobi heard this, they had no choice but to leave the office and make way for the space.

In the dim and secluded room, countless dark shadows gathered.

Each of them wore a black trench coat on the outside, a set of masks on their faces, and their whole bodies exuded a cold and piercing atmosphere, as if ice cubes were standing there.

"Next, each group will perform its own duties and disperse."

Located in the front of the group, next to it stood the two of the two who guarded the mountain stroke and the oil girl to take the root.

He had crutches in his hand, like a weak old man who could stand alone with crutches.

In the midst of Danzang's short and indifferent words, a Root Ninja in front of him disappeared without a trace in an instant, not knowing where to go.

Ever since the end of the Third Shinobi War, the power of the roots has been expanding rapidly.

Both the quality and quantity of ninjas have far exceeded the scale of the previous ones and have reached an unprecedented peak.

It was supposed to be the root of the dark branch, but with the unremitting efforts and development of Tuan Zang for many years, it already has a powerful power to fight back against the dark part.

Thinking of the countless efforts he has spent for the development of the roots over the years, and with Tuanzang's heart at this time, he can't help but be slightly excited, the time that belongs to him is coming.

However, it is not yet possible to mess with itself.

It's not the best time to make a move,

In order to get the position of Hokage, he has been waiting for decades, which is not bad for this time.

"Danzo-sama, Kakashi has just returned, do you need to summon him at this time?"

Yamanaka Kazekyo said.

"No need, he just needs to come out at the most critical time, and there is no need to involve him in the plan for the time being, so as not to be seen by the sun.

The regiment looked very composed.

Although victory is in sight, there are some plans that need to be prepared in advance.

The group cat was not carried away by the sudden joy of the great victory that was about to be completed.

If there is a leak in the plan because of greed, it may not even be too late to buy regret medicine.

Therefore, the more critical it is, the more you must calm down and think about it, and find out if there is anything that needs to be added.

Because once you make a move next, it means that the root and the Hokage fish are dead, and only one of the two can exist.

And Tuan Zang has obviously been aware of this for a long time.

"The most important thing now is to keep Tsunade in check, and then use Tsunade to transfer Jiraiya out of the village, leaving Hinashi in a state of isolation.

The idea in Tuan Zang's mind was very clear.

If you want to take down the Sun Slash and have enough time to deal with the subsequent complex changes, you must ensure that those who have the ability to cause trouble do not return to the village during this time, increasing the work ability of the roots.

Tsunade and Jiraiya are two people with the ability to make trouble, especially the former, and her existence is very important.

Because relying on the normal Hokage election method, he can't defeat Tsunade no matter what, so cutting off the last retreat of Hinatal and letting everyone have to choose their own is not a bad way out.

Although doing so may cause some bloodshed, it is too late to retreat when you think that you have come to this point.

"Then, in order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, the wind and the roots, the two of you will also officially participate in the plan to ensure the smooth development of the plan."

Tuan Ya narrowed her eyes hungry and made this fateful decision.

"Yes, Danzo-sama."
