Konoha's Wooden Reappearance

During the next few days on the road, Mizama clearly felt that there was a gap between Kakashi and himself, but he was a smart man, and Mizama believed that he would figure it out sooner or later.

After all, it was not in time for Naruto's third birthday. By the time he returned to Konoha Village, it was almost evening three days later.

"I'm finally back. It feels like I've been away from the village for a long time. I want to see Naruto first. Kakashi, what are you going to do?"

"I'll go to the Hokage building first and report the mission situation to the Third Hokage."

After saying that, the two separated.

Minato quickly arrived outside the orphanage and started sensing. The three teams of ANBU around him were not there. It seemed that Naruto was not in the orphanage.

"Master Shuijian, you are back"

As soon as Mizama entered the orphanage, he saw the director, Yakushi Nonou.

"Ah, hello, Chief Pharmacist. Naruto hasn't caused you any trouble during this time, right?"

"No, during this period, Naruto didn't have much else to do except go to the village to play. Kabuto is following him, he should be back soon."

"That's it. Chief Pharmacist, if you have anything to do, go ahead and get busy. I'll just wait for him here for a while."

After saying that, Mizama came to the gate of the orphanage, leaned against the wall, looked into the distance, and thought about something.

Sure enough, after a while, Naruto and Kabuto's figures appeared not far away.

"Brother Mizama, you are finally back. Didn't you say you would come back before my birthday?"

Naruto saw Mizama leaning against the wall from a distance, and ran quickly, happily running to Mizama, and said with surprise in his words.

"Ah. I'm sorry, Naruto. Something happened on the road and I was delayed for some time. I'm just back now. I'll give you your birthday gift tomorrow."

Minama squatted down, stroked Naruto's head, and said happily.

"Naruto, if one day I want you to leave here and live in a village, would you be willing?"

"If we want to leave here, the dean and Brother Kabuto can also go together. Then I won't be able to play with Xiao Gu and the others."

Naruto asked a little puzzled.

"It's okay, I just said it casually. Okay, you go in first, I'll talk to your brother Dou about something first, and I'll pick you up tomorrow, okay?"

Watching Naruto happily enter the orphanage to find his playmates, Mizama took Kabuto to a secluded place to get a sense of the surroundings and do some special processing.

"Kabuto, what happened here recently, Naruto?"

"Master Mizama, there is only one thing you need to pay attention to, and that is that the Third Hokage always pretends to meet Naruto by chance when he goes out alone during this period.

According to your previous instructions, I did not stop it.After discovering this situation, I kept following Naruto, and he never found another chance.

In addition, Master Itachi has often been watching Naruto from a distance recently. "

"Well, you did a good job. I probably expected this situation. Itachi was also arranged by me. Leave the rest to me.

Recently, when I take time, I will give you some scrolls, and then you can improve your strength as soon as possible. "

The two talked about other things.

After the conversation, Minama went to play with Naruto for a while, then said goodbye to Naruto and went home to rest.

Same time period, Hokage's office.

"Hokage-sama, this is the basic situation of this mission."

“I already know the general situation.

Let me tell you good news. The village has received intelligence from Parker before, and the intelligence department is about to decipher the intelligence.

Overall, this mission is all thanks to Mizama.”

"Yes, whether it was the initial ambush in the Iwagakure using the Wood Release clone, or the subsequent quick killing of the ten Iwagakure ninjas.

Without him, we would most likely be held back in the Country of Grass. When the enemy's reinforcements arrived from behind, our entire army would surely be annihilated.

If he hadn't quickly dealt with Juzang Bibaba and saved me at the critical moment.I'm afraid, I was killed by that enemy at that time.

We can't save the other three, but I have brought their bodies back and handed them over to the relevant departments.The bodies of the other two enemies were still in Mizama's hands.

After this mission, some information about Mizama may no longer be hidden. "

"Don't feel guilty, Kakashi, it's a mission and there will be sacrifices. Information will be leaked sooner or later.

I just didn’t expect that Mizama, who was on his first mission, would already have such strength. Flying Thunder God

It seems that another incredible genius has emerged in the village.

You will all be the pillars of Konoha from now on, and the future of Konoha depends on young people like you. "

"Sandaime-sama, there is something I don't know whether I should say."

To be honest, Kakashi was very confused about this matter, but for some reason, he decided to tell it, just in case.

"No matter what, as long as it's about the village, there's no question whether you can talk about it or not."

“On the way back, we were ambushed by someone, and they had special treatment on their bodies so they couldn’t sense who it was.

Judging from certain signs afterwards, I suspected that it was Danzo-sama's root ninjas who were posing as bandits. . . . . . "

Kakashi hesitated for a long time, but decided to tell the story about being ambushed, but the relevant plot was slightly changed, and many places were evasive.

To sum it up, it’s like this: We didn’t pick the problem, we just had suspicions, we didn’t know who it was, and we were forced.

"That is to say, the other party had the intention to kill you first, and then you tried to persuade them many times to no avail, so you were forced to fight back."

"Yes, Hokage-sama, Minato and I had just had a big fight at that time. We were at our weakest when the other party suddenly appeared and wanted to take us away by force. As a last resort, Minato killed one person with Wood Release to scare the other. Then we forced them back."

"I will handle this matter. Don't tell anyone yet. You are tired too. Go back and rest first."

Looking at Kakashi leaving, the Third Hokage felt a little angry.

"Has Danzo become so audacious? When did the root become his root?

How dare you attack the Konoha ninja so blatantly. "

However, before the Third Hokage could cause trouble to Danzo, Danzo himself came with several of his subordinates.

He actually came to complain to the Third Hokage.

Then, he took the Third Hokage to the root, and naturally saw the mummy.

"You should be able to see how he was killed."

Danzo said gloomily from one side.

"The one who was killed by someone using wood escape was Mizama."

The Third Hokage said with some uncertainty.

"Humph, who else could it be besides him?"

"You secretly sent someone to kidnap him and Kakashi. How do you explain this?"

"So you already know? Humph, I did this all for the village. I never believed in that brat.

This ambush was just to test his strength, and I didn't even think about doing anything to him and Kakashi.

All of this is just a precaution taken in advance to prevent him from harming the village in the future.

As a result, you have naturally seen that he has no will of fire at all, and he actually used Wood Release to attack Konoha's ninjas directly.

This is simply a betrayal of the Leaf Village. You should send someone to arrest him immediately.

Sarutobi, I am the root of Konoha, shouldering the darkness in the village. Everything I do is for the village.

Now he has a close relationship with the Jinchuuriki. If he has a bad intention and instills wrong thoughts into the Jinchuuriki, he may bring another disaster to Konoha.

So, abandon your hypocrisy. This kid has become a cancer in the village and must be eradicated. "

As Sarutobi Hiruzen's friend for decades, he knew very well what Sarutobi Hiruzen cared about most, and he naturally knew how to say it to his advantage.

After saying that, he called the ninja who was marked by Mizama as the Flying Thunder God and asked him to talk about the situation at that time.

"Mizama, that's what I really said at that time."

"Yes, when Master Mizama met at that time, under the premise that we had already revealed our identities, he directly used Wood Release to kill Taki, and then threatened us that if we..."

Then the ninja began to talk, and of course he was talking about the version that Danzo had arranged in advance.

Then in order to prove that he was telling the truth, he showed the Third Hokage the Flying Thunder God mark on his back.

After listening to the statement, the Third Hokage was already half convinced.

The reason why I didn't fully believe it was because Kakashi also mentioned this matter in his report a moment ago, and it seemed to be explainable according to Kakashi's statement.

"You heard me, this is the ninja you worked so hard to train. You must get rid of him as soon as possible while there is still a chance.

Otherwise, you will regret it once you wait for him to mature, just like Orochimaru. "

Danzo said, thinking in his mind.

"You kid, fight with me. Do you think you can scare me by saying a few cruel words? You are so naive. You are still too young.

It’s for nothing that I have such a big handle on you.Next, I won’t know how you died. "

Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent for a while. At this moment, he thought of many things, but most of them were things that had a bad impression on Mizama.

"You all have different opinions about this matter. It's hard for others to figure out who is who. Why don't we let you confront each other face to face.

No matter whose fault it is in the end, I will never condone it, so what?"

Although he was convinced that this matter was probably true, he would not simply listen to Danzo's family's words. After all, Kakashi's previous words also left some doubts in his heart.

"I'm all for the village. I don't have any problem. I'm just afraid of that brat."

"Then let me make the arrangements. You'd better not make any small moves in the meantime."

After saying that, he took his ANBU and left.

Watching Hiruzen Sarutobi leave, Danzo felt a little proud.

"Hmph, Sarutobi, it seems you are still getting old, so let's let you two fight each other first.

Boy, just wait, I will definitely make your life worse than death.No one has ever dared to threaten me. "

Of course, Mizama didn't know what was happening at the roots.After returning home, I checked my home inside and out to make sure no one had sneaked into my home while I was away, so I felt a little relieved.

Then, I made a simple dinner based on the ingredients that were still edible in the refrigerator.

After dinner, and just about to go to bed and have a good rest, Kakashi came to visit.
