Guard members who stay in Konoha

Chapter 101 98, Shocking News
Hiruzaru Sarutobi often feels a little worried recently, fearing that some bad news will reach his ears.Even the Hokage of Konoha Ninja Village, when faced with certain things, still feel nervous and worried, because everything in the world will not be able to let his thoughts move just because he is Hokage.

As time went by, this worry appeared more and more frequently. Hiruzaru Sarutobi knew that time was running out. If he hadn't received any clear news, it would be a matter of time. It means the worst news.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath of the cigarette, the thick smoke hovered in front of him, blurring his face.He knew it would not be an easy task, and he was aware of the problems that might be faced during the execution.However, for Konoha Ninja Village and the Land of Fire, the result of this mission must be good, otherwise it will have a great impact on the future situation.

Not long ago, because the relationship between the Land of Earth, the Land of Grass, and the Land of Taki was getting closer, there was a tendency to form an alliance.This is very detrimental to the future strategic layout of Konoha Ninja Village. Leaving aside the Country of Grass, the Country of Taki has a tailed beast. If it becomes an ally of the Country of Earth, it will be a very dangerous situation.

After many high-level discussions, Hiruzaru Sarutobi and others decided to take forceful actions to prevent the situation from advancing.In order to make the Three Kingdoms Alliance come to naught, after discussing with the Daimyo Mansion, everyone decided to assassinate the daimyo of the country of Taki, and support the daimyos of the country of Taki who are close to the country of fire to come to power. It caused chaos in the political situation of the Country of Taki, and warned the Country of Grass of the wall grass.

However, the Land of Earth may also have considered this point, and the daimyo of the Taki Country is also very worried about his own safety. According to the information collected by Anbu, the guards around him are very powerful.It's nothing like this, but in order not to get burned, Konoha Ninja Village can't dispatch too many people, and must pay attention to the confidentiality of identities. In this case, facing such security forces, there are quite a few people who can choose. limited.

Afterwards, the high-level officials finally decided on the best performer for this task-Sakumo Hatake.This man whose reputation is still higher than Sannin has become one of the world's top masters due to his non-famous family background. If he is entrusted with this task, there must be nothing to worry about.

The high-level people trusted Hatake Sakumo very much. During the Second Ninja World War, this person proved his strength and reliability with a large number of records.If the task this time can be completed, it will also be a highlight in Hatake Sakumo's personal resume.

Although he is full of confidence in Hatake Sakumo, Hiruzaru Sarutobi still feels nervous, because this time the task is really too important, and it is so important that if it fails, there will be very serious consequences. Before the news, he couldn't make himself feel at ease.

Especially now that it has been a long time since Hatake Sakumo and others set off, and there has been no news for a long time, Sarutobi Hiruzen is worried about any changes. Recently, the root of Shimura Danzo has sent information, and the daimyo of Taki no Kuni is likely to die. This is all the more troubling to announce an alliance with the Land of Earth.

"—" A sharp cry sounded suddenly.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi suddenly opened his narrowed eyes, turned his head to look, and saw a ninja parked by the window. From the markings on his body, it could be seen that it was a dispatch from the border troops.

Reaching out his hand to take down the small cylinder beside his leg, Hiruzaru Sarutobi took out the letter rolled up in it. The content was encrypted, but for an old ninja like Hiruza Sarutobi, it was nothing, and he didn't need to rely on Anything is automatically translated in the brain.

The content of the letter was not particularly complicated, but it made Hiruzaru Sarutobi's heart skip a beat, because it said that the border of Taki Country was under martial law...

With a bang, the door was pushed open, and Shimura Danzo entered the house on crutches. Behind him, Mito Menyan, Akimichi Torukaze, and Zhuanju Koharu entered, and Akimichi Torokaze, who entered at last, looked a little helpless. Close the door and say to Shimura Danzo, "Be gentle."

"Is this the time to care about such trivial matters!" Shimura Danzo shook his head, and said to Sarutobi Hiruzen, "Hizaru, do you have any definite news from Anbu?"

"No. The speed of martial law in the country of Taki is very fast. It will probably take some time for Anbu to convey the information." Hiruzaru Sarutobi smoked heavily, as if this could calm his mind down. "From the current border, it can be seen that Shuo Mao must have made a move, but he doesn't know what the result will be."

"If it's 'White Fang', the daimyo of the country of Taki should be dead." Mitomon said, he has no doubts about the strength of Hatake Sakumo, "maybe it's time for the people from the daimyo to act Get up, we are only responsible for this aspect, and the rest of the political issues will be resolved by them."

"No, it's inappropriate to report hastily without getting definite information." Akimichi Torikaze said, "Even if 'White Fang' really assassinated Daimyo, it's hard to tell what kind of situation it is—is there any Others died, did any accidents happen—don’t act lightly until everything is clear.”

"Indeed, I didn't think carefully." Mito Menyan nodded.

"With Anbu's ability, even with the help of the Land of Earth, the Land of Taki alone can't keep it secret for too long. Let's just wait for the news." Zhuan Xiaochun said, "While waiting for the news, discuss other things at the same time. ?”

"Okay, let's do it like this." Shimura Danzo said decisively.

So, everyone was in this meeting room, discussing other matters to be dealt with, while waiting for the information from Anbu.

They didn't wait for too long, and soon Anbu asked for a report, Sarutobi Hiruzen and others stopped talking, and let Anbu's people enter the room.

However, this was not Bai Fang's news, but the news publicly released by the country of Taki. The content of the news made them all feel angry.

At this moment, not far from the border of Taki no Country, Hatake Sakumo is taking his team members to rest temporarily.The weather at this time was a bit gloomy, just like Sakumo Hatake's mood, the rain fell from the sky, not too much, but it was so cold that it seemed to seep into Sakumo Hatake's bone marrow.

Even the pain of the wound on his body didn't seem to be felt, Hatake Sakumo felt the cold raindrops hit his face, but it seemed to hit his heart.

It's been a long time since I felt this kind of feeling. The last time, it should be when I heard the news of my wife's death, Hatake Sakumo thought to himself.

He looked at his team members. Everyone had different degrees of injuries. One of them was the most serious and was lying on the ground receiving treatment. When their eyes turned to Hatake Sakumo, they all looked complicated.

Hatake Sakumo understood the reason, he didn't make any excuses, he just felt the pain like being squeezed in his heart, he wanted to ask why?
Because his mission failed this time.
