City of Hope

A series of ancient and simple buildings have been constructed, with neat streets and scattered pedestrians, everything looks extremely orderly.

In just two years, the original small oasis has completely disappeared, replaced by a fantastic and magnificent city-state.

The simple and solid city wall seems endless at first glance. A huge stone statue on the city tower is as majestic as a sleeping guardian. Coupled with the buildings rising from the ground, the entire facade gives people a majestic atmosphere. Feel.

The people who just arrived were stunned to see all this. It was hard to believe that there would be such a splendid ancient city in such a barren land.

"Are you sure this is a village... or a city-state that just emerged?" Mizuki scanned the surrounding desolation and pointed at the gate and asked.

The man touched his head in embarrassment and said uncertainly: "It should be... I heard it from other people."

Kakashi praised: "It's hard to imagine that someone would spend so much energy building a city and settling down in such a place."

Kurokawa curled his lips impatiently, and walked towards the city gate first: "Okay, let's go in quickly, take a break and catch Orochimaru back as soon as possible, that guy is not a small character, who knows if he will notice in advance us."

"People in front, stop, who are you? What is the purpose of coming to our City of Hope?"

A loud roar came, and a man on the city gate waved his hand behind him while shouting. Soon, the city gate opened, and a group of well-equipped figures hurriedly came out, blocking everyone in front of them with a guarded look.

Kakashi took a few steps forward and said, "Everyone, we don't mean any harm. We are passing by this place. Due to the shortage of water resources, we just want to prepare to go in to rest and replenish some."

The man looked everyone up and down: "Everyone, we are not trying to embarrass you, but you...can you tell me your identities?"

"This..." After hearing the man's words, Kakashi frowned, feeling a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, the man quickly waved his hand behind him, and a ninja immediately understood and ran towards the city in a hurry.

Seeing that the other party was clearly dressed as a ninja troop. Less than two years after the founding of the country, this was the first time for the man to fight in this kind of battle. For a moment, he was unsure about paying attention, and he did not dare to let the other party enter the city at will.

After all, this place belongs to the Kingdom of Wind. As a half-core figure, he knows very well that the Kingdom of Wind will not let them do whatever they want here.

It would be troublesome if the opponent was a raiding force from the Kingdom of Wind. Wouldn't it be tempting to let a wolf in if you just put it in at will?

Seeing the man's movements, Kakashi and the others tactfully stepped back a little, and stood there silently, waiting for the other party's reply.

in the hall

Zhishui knelt aside, also waiting for the decision of Lingyue and others.

In the conference room of the side hall, Lingyue and Chinian are discussing the arrangements for water stop.

"Miss Suzutsuki, these are all one-sided words of Uchiha Shisui. Konoha has indeed spread the news about Uchiha Shisui's defection from the village, but it has never said why he defected. If he really wanted to assassinate the Hokage, With Uchiha Suke's personality, can he be given the opportunity to commit suicide?"

"And don't forget that Uchiha Suke has a very high reputation in Konoha. No one in the entire Uchiha disbelieves him. They belong to the same clan. Will Shisui really assassinate Uchiha Suke because of Danzo?"

"Besides, Orochimaru is not a good person. It is difficult for people to guess that saving him is not out of some conspiracy. Besides, he has been hanging out with Orochimaru for so long, so he is probably not a good person. I think it is better to let him go back. wonderful."

Suzuki frowned and fell into deep thought. Although Chinen's words were correct, Shisui didn't strike her as the kind of guy who spoke cunningly and acted secretly. Beautiful Book Bar

Although she only had contact with him twice, his tenacity, fearlessness, and will for peace left a deep impression on her.

Judging from her many years of employment experience, Uchiha Shisui should be the kind of person who is just, bright and compassionate, rather than a vicious and cunning evil person.

But Chinen's words made sense, and since people were unpredictable and the mask was difficult to remove, she didn't dare to make any arbitrary decisions and include Shisui in the group.

After a moment of silence, Yuzuru couldn't help but say: "What are you worried about, Ms. Suzuki? To be honest, we are very short of people right now, especially senior ninjas."

"Most of the guys wandering here are fugitives with poor character and are not qualified to join us. Although this Uchiha Shisui has many loopholes, I think he should still be given a chance."

Lingyue was surprised: "Why did Mr. Yuxian say that?"

"Because we have no choice. Orochimaru is a very dangerous person. He is worried about us now, but there is no guarantee that he will be in the future."

"We have already rejected that guy's request. If we refuse the other party's request to back off again, I'm worried that he will force it."

"Once that happens, no matter what the outcome is, it will be a very negative situation for us."

"That guy is worried about attracting Konoha's attention. In fact, we are more worried. When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. The current situation will most likely hurt both sides, and even destroy the situation we finally established."

"After all, we are dead, and that guy is alive. If someone pays attention, he will turn around and continue to flee, but we have nowhere to escape."

After hearing these words, Lingyue turned her head to look at Zhinian: "What does Mr. Zhinian mean?"

After thinking for a while, Zhi Nian was about to answer, when suddenly, a figure rushed in.

"Master Yue Ning, a group of ninjas came from outside the city and said they want to enter the city to rest for a while."

Lingyue's face became serious: "A lot of them?"

The man nodded: "It is initially estimated that there are about three hundred people, all armed with weapons. They look like special forces of a big country."

Hearing the words, several people looked at each other, their eyes fixed.

After thinking for a while, Yuzuru got up: "I'll go out and have a look."

Chinen interjected: "Wait, bring Uchiha Shisui with you, as Konoha Anbe, that guy should be very familiar with the special forces of various countries."

"I understand." Yuzuru hurriedly rushed out of the palace.

After Yuzuru left, Suzuki sighed softly, with a distressed look on his face: "Trouble, there are big country ninjas in such a place, no matter how we think about it, there is a problem. Do you think we have been exposed?"

Zhinian shook his head decisively: "It's impossible. In order to hide our identities, we have never shown our true colors in the past two years. We even changed our names for this reason. There is no way we will be exposed. Maybe they really just passed by and wanted to take a rest."

"Passing by!" The two said at the same time with a heartbeat: "Oshewan!"

"This is the only possibility. From here to the east, apart from Orochimaru, Konoha's most wanted criminal, I really can't think of anything else that is worth dispatching so many ninjas."

The two people who were familiar with Orochimaru's base instantly guessed the purpose of these people coming here.
