Naruto's strongest shadow escape

Chapter 88

Return to Konoha (please recommend and collect)

At the gate of Konoha, after completing the mission of annihilating the Grass Ninja lurkers, Shunren embarked on his return journey.

The Konoha ninja who was responsible for guarding the gate spotted Shunto from a distance.

I saw that tall and thin body, which is considered tall among his peers, about 1.5 meters and a half, but there is still a huge visual difference compared to the heavy black iron ruler on his back.

The childishness on his face has not completely faded away. Under the cold wind and white snow in December, he is only wearing a thin single coat, and there are many damaged places and dried blood.

Every step Shun takes will leave footprints in the snow. This is not a good habit for a ninja, because the most basic skill of a ninja is to hide his aura. As a good ninja, he will always be careful not to leave any traces.But Shunren had no choice, after all, he was carrying this big guy on his back, but compared to a year ago, when every step he took seemed to shake the earth, it was much better.If he continues to practice like this, sooner or later, Shunren will be able to ignore the quality of the Black Iron Heavy Ruler.

His practice is far from enough!

"Pass." Arriving at the gate of Konoha, the guard came forward to check according to the rules.

Konoha implements a strict village entry and exit system. No matter who enters or exits Konoha's gate, they must wear a specific pass.This is a daily rule, especially in these war years, this system must be more rigorous.

"Thank you for your hard work, Shunto-kun." Interactions between people will create bonds. Although ordinary Konoha ninjas are affected by the public opinion of Konoha senior officials and have no favorable impression of Uchiha, what they witness with their own eyes is better than What you hear is more true.

Shunren completed one task after another day after day, and the Konoha ninjas responsible for guarding the gate all saw it.After all, the reason why they can stand guard here peacefully is because some people keep the enemy out of Konoha.

Shunren nodded in response.Shunren didn't feel much about the respect of the guards, because in his opinion, everything he had done so far was just for himself, constantly improving his strength through actual combat.As for protecting Konoha, it's just the result.

Perhaps for this reason, in the past year, Konoha's top management did not cause him any trouble and made good use of Shunren's combat power.

The two parties have formed a good tacit cooperative relationship.

But starting from today, this friendly relationship may come to an end.

Because after this year of practical training, Shun Ren has reached a certain bottleneck, and it is time to calm down and practice new skills.

............

"Then, if there's nothing else, I'll excuse you." At the Hokage Building, after reporting the results of the mission, Shunren refused the Sandaime's request to continue the mission.

"That's right, you really should take a rest, go ahead." The Sandaime took a puff from the pipe and showed an indifferent attitude.

In this year, Shun Ren has completed an excessive number of tasks, so it is difficult for the Sandaime to force him to work.

Then Shunren left the Hokage Building and returned to the Uchiha settlement.

From the time Shunto stepped into the Hokage Building to the time he left, Danzo was there the entire time.Not only this time, but almost every time Shunren came back to report on the mission before, Danzo happened to appear in the Hokage Building.

Danzo never spoke to Shunto. Shunto knew what kind of person he was, so he ignored Danzo even once.

"So, Danzo, you happened to come to my place this time. What's the matter?" After Shunren left, the Sandaime said leisurely to Danzo while fiddling with his pipe.

"You should know that I am interested in that child." Different from the many excuses he made before, this time Danzo admitted his purpose of coming generously.

The Sandaime frowned, and then glanced at Danzo in surprise, "You are still the same, you are really persistent towards Uchiha."

"Uchiha must be watched closely. This is also the teaching left by the Nidaime-sama!" Danzo said coldly.

"..." The Sandaime was silent for a moment, but he did not deny Danzo's words. He just said, "He is just a child..."

"Children can't kill Jonin!" Danzo suddenly interrupted the Sandaime with a rather forceful attitude, and said in a series of words, "Hiruzhan, don't pretend to be stupid! In this short year, Taki Ninja's ninth level , the captain of the rain ninja, Zenbon Yi of the frost ninja, the wandering swordsman of the Iron Kingdom, and recently the fire of the grass ninja, many of them are ninjas who are well-known in the ninja world, and they are all real people. Jonin. Now that he has been defeated by that guy, don’t you think this kid is growing up a little too fast!”

The Sandaime narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a meaningful tone, "Gen's intelligence ability is really excellent."

"Don't change the topic!" Danzo's expression changed. In fact, he was changing the topic without giving the other party a chance to ask further questions. He continued, "If we continue to let him grow, I'm afraid Uchiha will become even more powerful in the future!"

"You worry too much, Danzo." The Sandaime shook his head.

Danzo said anxiously, "What are you talking about Hiruzen! I'm not kidding!"

"I want to reuse him." The Sandaime said calmly.

"You're crazy!" Danzo shouted in anger.

"He works hard and is also very keen on practicing and becoming stronger." The Sandaime sighed, and then said leisurely, "Next, the battlefield will be his stage of growth."

"You..." Danzo's eyes suddenly widened. He seemed to have thought of something. Then he moved the corner of his mouth and murmured in a low voice, "I see, this is what you had in mind."

"What's the idea?" The Sandaime looked puzzled.

"Don't you just want him to die?" Danzo said with an "I understand you" look.

The Sandaime frowned and said in a deep voice, "What are you talking about? A hot-blooded man who has made great achievements on the battlefield and gained supreme glory, how can you call this a death attempt?!"

Danzo's old face twitched and he couldn't help but said gloomily, "Then, should we erect a monument for him?"

"Of course!" Sandaime replied without thinking.

Danzo showed an evil expression, "The Memorial Monument...is that right?"

The Sandaime denied it righteously, "That's what you said."
