Although the two sides have different thoughts, the cooperation is still advancing in an orderly manner.

Although Nozomi really wanted to break into the interior of Sand Hidden City, Todai was the person in charge of this operation, and without his approval, Nozomi could only hate it.

The two of them didn't stay too long in Sand Hidden City, some trivial matters didn't require them to sit at the negotiating table and argue with reason, and Yun Ren still had a lot of things to deal with from them.

Soon after they left, the Sand Shinobi's troops also gathered rapidly in secret, marching towards the east and south of the Land of the Wind in batches like quicksand.

But now it is different from the past, and the unique prosperity of Sand Hidden City has attracted the attention of almost all the surrounding ninja villages, and this large-scale action is naturally impossible to hide.

For a while, the whole continent was in turmoil, and those big families and businessmen were like ants on a hot pot, and they all inquired about the mind of Lord Fengying.

"What are you doing?!"

Obito sat in Kazekage's office, staring at Hoshino Makaki, looking a little anxious.

"Mobilizing troops at this time to attract everyone's attention to Sand Hidden City, Nagato must also be alert, this will cause me a lot of trouble, you know?"

Obito came to Sand Hidden City with Khan and the rest of the Iwa Shinobi and heard the news, and hurriedly asked Hoshino Mu to clarify.

He didn't care about Hoshino Mu's life or death, and he didn't care if this guy was crazy or not, but now that Hoshino Mu and Lin were tightly bound, he didn't want the other party to have an accident at this time.

Hoshino Mu spread out his hand and said helplessly: "I can't help it, Yun Ren and Konoha are eyeing each other, I always have to show my muscles, right?" You can rest assured, as long as Konoha and Cloud Shinobi don't provoke a war, Sand Shinobi will not leave the border. ”

Obito pursed his lips, Hoshino Mu said this as if he didn't say it, he wanted the situation to be stable until he killed Nagato and found a way to rescue Rin.

But Yun Shinobu and Konoha didn't listen to him.

After a few seconds of silence, Obito still said in a warning tone: "You know the importance of the eye of reincarnation, Nagato's body is still very weak, if he is allowed to perceive the danger, he will not have such a good chance next time." ”

"Don't worry" Hoshino Mu looked into the other party's eyes: "I won't drop the chain." But you, you're all outlaws, so don't make any mistakes. ”

Obito did not respond, and the whole person disappeared into the spatial spiral.

Hoshino Maki picked up the teacup next to him and took a sip.

"Last time, I didn't say that I was allowed to use space ninjutsu to come in, and I forgot to say that it was the same when I left."

After speaking, he thought for a while: "I hope there is still a chance to remind him." ”

After speaking, he picked up the documents on the table and continued to work.

On the other side, Konoha was currently the ninja village that was most 'concerned' about Sand Hidden City, so they naturally received the news, and for a while, there was a tense atmosphere in the Hokage Building.

This atmosphere gradually radiated to the village as Hokage-sama gave orders one after another.

"I'm sorry!"

A messenger of the middle shinobi trotted all the way and accidentally collided with someone around the corner, he stopped, looked at the wrinkled facial features of the child who fell to the ground, and quickly pulled the other party up.

"Are you alright?"

The boy picked up the glasses on the floor, looked at the other person, and shook his head.

Seeing this, Nazhong Shinobu rubbed the child's little head, and didn't care about saying anything, so he hurriedly ran out.

When the other person's figure disappeared into the distance, the child walked to the shadow of the alley, took out the envelope from his sleeve, examined it carefully, felt the place where the seal was, thought about it, and put the letter in his pocket.

Walking out of the alley, the sunlight sprinkled on his glasses, and his cold eyes were reflected in the dazzling reflected light.

This kind of look should not be on a child, but reality never cares if it should be.

This look also turned innocent shortly after leaving the alley, and he walked the streets of Konoha like any other child.

It's just that when he passes by the mansions of those families and passes by the Konoha ninja, his pace always slows down slightly, but it is only a second or two, and it is back to normal.

After stopping at a large tree outside the orphanage, he disappeared into the canopy with a slight leap of his eyes and stared at the children in the orphanage through the broken wooden window.

Today is a big weekend once every half month, and according to the past custom, you can have a big meal.

It's a big meal, but it's just a meal with a little bit of meat foam.

But this is already a delicious food for children who have never seen the oil star in the past.

Moreover, as far as the pharmacist knows, the dean's mother was reluctant to eat this meal at all, and lied to them that she didn't like to eat meat.

The medicine master thought about it, a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he actually believed it at that time, it was really too stupid, he deserved to be deceived by Tuan Zang.

With sharp eyes, he looked at the few vegetable leaves and tofu in the bowl full of gaps in the children's hands, and his immature but calloused palms couldn't help but clench.

Swindler!

It has been half a month since he came to Konoha and he has been observing this tree for half a month.

The changes in the quality of life promised at the beginning, the repair of the house, the improvement of the treatment of the dean and the aunts, etc., have not been fulfilled, and even their living standards have dropped compared with the past, and the dean and those aunts have disappeared, replaced by his unfamiliar faces, and the materials he sent over have not been traced.

He didn't dare to ask because he saw people watching around the orphanage and hidden cameras.

This device may be new in Konoha, but it has long been popular in Sand Hidden City.

This made him sense that something was wrong.

When he heard the conversation through the lurking inside, he learned that the dean's mother had passed away a month earlier.

This news shocked him, and the whole world seemed to collapse completely.

Under the ups and downs of the heart, he almost exposed his figure.

He couldn't believe his ears, and he lay on the trunk of the tree and cried all night

The next morning, with the last glimmer of hope, he chose to stay in Konoha for a while, hoping that all he heard and saw was a misunderstanding.

But today, even the children can only drink vegetable soup on the big weekend they are looking forward to, and the attitude of the village, the attitude of Lord Tuanzang has become extremely clear, and even the sudden death of the dean's mother is related to him.

The medicine man's eyes were cold, and he patted his pocket, since this is the case, then he has no worries.

He took a deep look at his former home, and when he turned his head, his expression was resolute.

The petite figure was the best disguise, and he didn't have much trouble until he left Konoha.

Of course, there is also the element of the cloud of war, and no one has the time to pay attention to a child.

But among them, there are still thoughtful people.

Yakushidou's figure jumped through the dense jungle, and suddenly, he jumped to the side with a kunai brushing his shoulder.

Yakushidou stood still on a branch, looked down at the crack in his sleeve, and narrowed his eyes in the direction where Kunai was coming.

At this moment, an alarm bell suddenly sounded in his heart, and he suddenly pulled out the kunai from his sleeve and waved it upward!

Ding——!

The two kunai clashed, and the splashed sparks were especially dazzling in the depths of the dimly lit forest.

After a brief pause, Yakushidou saw the person's trademark white hair, and his teeth clenched.

Kakashi Hachiki.

Kakashi jumped to the trunk of the tree above with the strength of the kunai, and looked at Yakushidou condescendingly.

"Who sent you?"

The voice under the mask was flat, but it was very clear to the pharmacist.

He chose to answer with bitterness.

The three kunai shot at Kakashi in the shape of a 'pin', and Kakashi jumped lightly, dodging Kunai's attack.

Boom ——!

The three smoke bombs hanging from the tail of the kunai suddenly exploded, and in the midst of the smoke, the medicine master fled frantically towards the west.

He's no match for Kakashi.

This was already realized the moment he fought the other party, so successfully escaping back to the area controlled by the sand shinobi was an important goal.

He tried his best, but Kakashi's figure behind him became clearer and clearer.

And as the distance narrowed, the pharmacist also saw the seal movement on the other party's hand.

The handprint was fixed in Yinyin, Kakashi pulled down his mask, and a water dragon gushed out in the air, attacking the Yakushi with a strong oppressive force!

Not only did the pharmacist not dodge, but chose to take the blow hard with his back, and with the help of the reaction force, he instantly opened up a distance.

Kakashi narrowed his eyes as he looked at the injuries on his bare back, which were rapidly recovering, and muttered:

"Medical ninja?"

It seems that he is still a medical ninja with excellent medical skills.

In this world, apart from Konoha, which ninja village has excellent medical ninjas?

Kakashi's gaze was gloomy, and the speed of his pursuit slowed down a lot, his eyes swirling over the other party.

One plus one subtracts, and the distance between the two sides widens again.

For the next period of time, except for kunai and ninjutsu, which was getting worse and worse, Yakushidou was never attacked by any more threatening attacks.

Although Yakushidou was puzzled, it was clearly not the time to think about it, so he desperately ran away, and eventually, when the sun was about to set, he rushed to the forest that Sand Shinobu 'rented'.

Kakashi stood not far away, watching the kid enter the base of the sand shinobi, his eyes narrowing slightly, and the figure disappeared.

"You said he ran away?!"

In the Hokage's office, Danzo frowned and looked at Kakashi who was kneeling on one knee, and his tone was not good.

"You didn't say he was just a kid, how could he slip out of your hands?"

"He has received professional ninjutsu training and is a ninja. And not far from Konoha, his companions came to pick him up, and among them was Shangshinobi. ”

Looking at Kakashi, who was kneeling with his head bowed, Danzo's eyes narrowed, and he spoke, "Kakashi, that's not a reason. ”

Kakashi was silent for a moment, still in the same voice as calm as water, "I understand, I will accept the punishment of the village. ”

Danzo wanted to say something, but Nara Shikahisa on the side opened his mouth to relieve the siege: "The enemy is prepared, Kakashi is only one person, and the other party is still a sand ninja, so it's understandable that he failed to complete the mission." ”

"What, do you think there's something wrong with my command? What about the sand ninja, when did the Konoha ninja choose to avoid it when he met the sand ninja? Kakashi, as a rising star in the village and a shinobi, should naturally have the ability to complete the task alone, even if the task is slightly difficult. ”

After Tuan Zang finished scolding Lu Jiu, he looked at Kakashi and said, "Kakashi, anything can happen on the battlefield, and your back can't always be relied on, this is also a test for you, do you understand?" ”

Kakashi was silent for a moment and said softly, "Understood"

"Let's go down"

Kakashi respectfully saluted Danzo and turned to leave.

"I'm also going to the blacksmith shop, no matter whether Hoshino Mu will attack or not, the forbearance equipment must be prepared first."

Lu Jiu said, getting up and leaving.

Danzou looked in the direction of the door, and after a moment, he said lightly, "Go investigate the path of Kakashi's pursuit." ”

"Yes"

The dark part beside him responded and left quickly.

"Kakashi"

Under the Hokage building, Nara Shikaku caught up with Kakashi, patted the other party's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Do you want to have a drink?" Uncle hasn't had a drink with you since you grew up. ”

Kakashi's figure paused slightly, turned around and saluted respectfully, "I'm sorry, Shikaku-sama, today's cultivation task hasn't been completed yet, I'll go first." ”

Nara Shikahisa opened his mouth and looked at the back of the other party's departure, and the arm that was about to be raised slowly fell.

——

"You said you met Kakashi?"

Hoshino Maki sat in the Kazekage's office, looked at the returning Yakushidou, and said with some surprise.

"How did you survive?"

"He didn't want to kill me."

Yakushidou shook his head and recounted the journey in detail to Hoshino Mu.

Hoshino Mu tapped his finger on the table, his eyes flashing with thought.

"Looking at it this way, he let you go after knowing that you were a sand ninja?"

Hoshino Maki felt a little bizarre when he said that, if he were to select the person who hated the most sand shinobi in Konoha, Kakashi would definitely be at the top, if not the first.

But now, Kakashi will actually let go of the spy of the sanobi, which makes Hoshino Maki a little incomprehensible.

After thinking about it for a while, Hoshino Mu didn't understand it, so he asked Yakushi to go back to rest first, and report directly to the Kazekage's office tomorrow.

Yakushidou didn't have much loyalty to Konoha in the first place, all he cared about was the orphanage and the director, and after the assistance of Brother Tuanzang, he believed that Yakushidou not only wouldn't have any loyalty to Konoha, but only endless resentment remained.

Hoshino Mu thought for a moment and said, "You go to Konoha to find a ninja named Mizuki, he seems to have entered the shadows now." Untie his seal and let him find out the news of the orphanage director, whether he is really dead or if he is doing something for Tuan Zang. ”

Hoshino Mu still has to prepare with both hands, if Yakushi Ye Naiyu is really dead, it's fine, if he doesn't die, then he has to find a way to bring her over, otherwise it will always be an unstable factor.

For the sake of Yakushidou's loyalty, and the news that he needs to change Konoha at this sensitive time, this chess piece that has been hidden in Konoha for a long time can also be activated.

"Understood"

In the shadows, the voice of the scorpion rang out.

Immediately, the figure disappeared.

Hoshino Mu stood up, glanced at the calendar, stretched, and opened the secret room behind him, and the figure disappeared.

There are still three days to go before the agreed time with Obito, so it can be said that the success or failure of this operation directly determines the direction of the ninja world in the future, and he also needs to make more preparations.
