Hokage: Give Me Face

Chapter 20 Emergency Meeting (2/3)

Tsunade is back!

A full week after the last assassination incident, the team that Konoha sent to the Land of Winds returned.

Because it was a covert operation, Orochimaru Tsunade and 30 Jōnin disguised as ordinary villagers entered Konoha in batches without attracting anyone's attention.

After entering Konoha, the three Tsunade did not stop, but hurriedly entered the Hokage building. After half an hour, the four Anbu turned into shadows and left the Hokage building and disappeared.

At this moment, Ye Xuan was in a wide yard. Opposite him was a man of about 30 years old. The man was just standing with a pressing aura. His eyes were calm, gentle mixed with sternness.

"Only Lightning Style and Taijutsu are allowed today, for unlimited time. You can't rest until I say stop!"

His voice was not loud, but it had magical power that couldn't be rejected. Ye Xuan pouted, but he didn't dare to make trouble in front of this man.

Hatake Sakumo, 29 years old, Minister of Anbu, although he only has the strength of the quasi-shadow peak/peak, but because he has cultivated the Ultimate Hatake swordsmanship and Lightning Style, his real combat power can be comparable to ordinary Kage-level.

During World War II in the original book, Hatake Sakumo had already shown unrivaled strength. Ye Xuan guessed that maybe at a certain period of time in the early days of the war, Hatake Sakumo successfully broke through to become a Kage-level powerhouse. With Hatake swordsmanship and Lightning Style , even Danzo is no match for it.

Hatake Sakumo's character is very upright, it can also be said to be old-fashioned. After he promised to teach Ye Xuan, he really taught him wholeheartedly. Due to his habit of serving as Anbu's minister for many years, he also treated Ye Xuan the same way he came to Anbu - punishment system.

If Ye Xuan didn't complete the prescribed training, he was not allowed to rest. Once Ye Xuan wanted to be lazy and rest, Hatake Sakumo would attack him with Lightning Style, often making Ye Xuan scream and run around the yard.

call out!

With a soft sound, a dark shadow suddenly appeared on the edge of the backyard. The shadow bowed to Hatake Sakumo and said respectfully, "Master Minister, Master Hokage has a message, I hope you will go to the Hokage office immediately for a meeting!"

"Oh? A meeting?" Hatake Sakumo was a little surprised. As Minister of Anbu, he was Sarutobi's number one horse boy after all. He had never attended such an emergency meeting.

"Apart from me, who else?"

"And Lord Danzo, Lord Homura, Lord Koharu, and three disciples of Lord Hokage."

"Is that so..." Hatake Sakumo was startled, and immediately understood the urgency of the matter.

You must know that the 30 Jōnins who accompanied Orochimaru and the others to the Land of Wind to investigate the changes were all Anbu members. When the personnel returned, Hatake Sakumo did not receive any news. This means that they had just returned, and an emergency meeting was held as soon as they came back. Something must have happened. Incredible event.

Hatake Sakumo gave Ye Xuan a look, and was about to let Ye Xuan practice alone. Before he could say anything, Ye Xuan interrupted him: "I'm going too, this time should be very important, otherwise the dead monkey won't kill you. Call, I'll go and listen, maybe I can come up with some ideas."

Ye Xuan's words made Hatake Sakumo hesitate for a moment and then nodded. He knew Danzo's doting on Ye Xuan. Although this kind of meeting was a high-level meeting, Ye Xuan wanted to hear it, but no one could stop him except Danzo himself.

The matter was urgent, Hatake Sakumo didn't want to waste time, he walked to Ye Xuan's side and grabbed Ye Xuan's arm, the next second, Ye Xuan only felt a force pulling him away, his ears whistled, the whole world blurred unclear.

Before he could react, he stood on the ground again, shook his head ignorantly, and in a trance, a beautiful figure appeared in front of him.

"Hey dear, why are you here?"

"Bastard, who is your dear!"

He Dong's roar shook Ye Xuan's brain into a dizziness. He shook his head again, only to realize that he was standing in the middle of Hokage's office, with a few pairs of eyes staring at him silently.

"Uh... Hello everyone, comrades have worked hard..."

Ye Xuan shamelessly waved to Sarutobi and the others, gave Tsunade a provocative glance, and silently walked to Danzo's side amid Tsunade's glaring eyes.

The office was quiet again, Sarutobi tapped his pipe on the table, put his pipe on the table for the first time, rubbed his temples tiredly, and said in a deep voice: "Since everyone is here, let's start, Orochimaru, you speak. "

Hearing Sarutobi's words, Orochimaru nodded, he took a step forward, looked around, and after everyone focused their eyes on him, he said in a hoarse voice: "In the past two months, we have investigated the changes in the Land of Wind. , First of all, what needs to be explained is that the country of the wind is about to start a war!"

It was as if a boulder smashed into the lake. Although it was expected, when Orochimaru told the truth, it still caused a storm in the hearts of everyone. Except for the main battle faction Danzo, including Hatake Sakumo, everyone frowned. .

Shocked and shocked, everyone present was well-informed, and they quickly calmed down, waiting for Orochimaru to continue.

"Because all the spies in Shayin Village were cleared, we had to start from the beginning. We divided 30 people into three groups, led by me, Jiraiya, and Tsunade to investigate. We found that dozens of large and medium-sized towns in the Land of Wind did not Ninja, then, we squatted in a hidden place outside Shayin Village, and recorded the entry and exit of Shayin for the past two months. The final conclusion is that the ninjas in the entire country of wind, except for special circumstances, are almost all concentrated in Shayin. Hidden Village!"

"All concentrated? All spies removed? This...isn't this a traditional pre-war mobilization!" Utatane Koharu took a deep breath, shocked by the actions of the Land of Wind.

"Are they crazy? Don't they think that 20 years of self-cultivation can defeat Konoha? No, there must be something missing, Orochimaru, don't sell it anymore, there must be something else to discover, right?" Mitokado Homura's eyes flashed. With a trace of light, the clever Konoha advisor instantly guessed the loophole in Orochimaru's words.

"Hey hey hey... As expected of Elder Homura, in order to get more accurate information, I once disguised myself and entered Shayin Village. When I was dining in the tavern, I found a group of people, although wearing civilian clothes, but from their tone and momentum, You can see how weird they are."

"What's weird?"

"The other party is a group of Jōnin. One of them constantly dislikes the food during meals, and says that it is so hot and uncomfortable. From time to time, he takes out a water bottle from his waist to drink water. You must know that Jōnin's ability to survive is very strong. , most likely..."

"Ghost lanterns!" Danzo said, his eyes narrowed, "I once fought Jōnin from the ghost lanterns. Their Bloodline is liquefied and immune to all physical damage. I learned from Second Hokage that once the ghost lanterns leave the water If you are a country, you will carry a water bottle with you, and Orochimaru should have observed a lot of evidence to prove this fact, that is, the country of wind and the country of water have joined forces, right!"*
