The old devil Konoha wants to be a good person

Linru took the documents and read them carefully. As he looked at them, his brows furrowed and his fingers froze. Then he raised his head suddenly, the volume suddenly increased by 40 decibels, and shouted with surprise: "Here comes the big devil, Blood Owl." Fire Nation”

As a well-informed ANBU captain, it stands to reason that he shouldn't be shouting like this, but the name Blood Owl seems to have a strange magic power that makes everyone who hears it unable to stay calm.

Linru's behavior was nothing special, or rather, it was normal.

At least, the Sandaime can understand the other party's mentality.

"A few days ago, some witnesses found traces of him at the border. I have sent people to recall Jiraiya. He must lead this mission."

Sarutobi Hiruzen pointed at the information in Lin Ru's hand, his expression looked serious and gloomy, with a little bit of unnoticeable nervousness, and his voice was somewhat dry and hoarse:

"So far, in addition to your team, there are also Kakashi team, Ibiki team, Class 14, and Class No. [-] on standby at any time."

"Your mission is to locate the Blood Owl and prove that he is indeed in the Land of Fire. Then I will immediately contact the people of Sunagakure, Iwagakure, Kirigakure, and Kumogakure to carry out an encirclement and suppression operation."

Finally, he lowered his voice and whispered:

"Remember, this matter must not be made public."

Linru nodded in understanding and silently put the document into his arms.

Every time the blood owl appears in the ninja world, it will cause incalculable damage to the location, leaving only piles of corpses, bones and ruins. It is not unreasonable for the third generation to be nervous, after all

That demon has a record of killing daimyo many times, defeating ninja troops many times, seriously injuring and even killing the shadow of a great ninja village. No matter how careful you deal with it, you can't be too careful.

On the way to the door of the Hokage's office, Linru turned his back to Sarutobi Hiruzen, and there was a trace of sincere confusion in his eyes. The blood owl appeared at the border of the Land of Fire.

It seems like he hasn't been there recently, right?

so strange~

"Linru, it's not a good idea to be too involved with the Uchiha clan." Not far from the office, Linru saw Danzo in black robes at the corner of the wall.

"Elder Danzo, do you have any high opinions?" Linru disagreed in his heart, but on the surface he maintained the most basic courtesy and looked like he was listening attentively.

"If you accept Uchiha Sasuke as your disciple, you will get into trouble. Don't forget the threat of Uchiha Itachi, that guy." Danzo's tone was not good, his face looked like he was constipated, as if he was suppressing something:

"He cares about his brother very much."

Linru's expression moved slightly, and he was a little surprised. Emotional Danzo was reminding himself, so he said: "I understand the elder's kindness, but there are things that a man does and things he doesn't do."

"I am Linru. No matter what, I cannot refuse a girl whose entire ethnic group has been wiped out, her family is ruined, and she is begging on her knees in front of the public."

"So, why did you save her that night? Isn't it a good idea to let her die?" Danzo sneered, even vaguely reproachful, but Linru laughed angrily when he saw this situation.

"My elder, no matter how many wrongdoers there are in the Uchiha clan, what kind of sin can a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old bear? Did she commit rebellion or murder her companions?"

"The Uchiha clan is inherently evil. Their Sharingan itself requires hatred, hatred and other negative emotions to be activated. I really want to eradicate them."

"Also, don't forget that Uchiha Itachi is only 14 years old."

Linru shrugged helplessly and said to Danzo, who was bitter and resentful, "Even so, Uchiha is still a member of the village after all, not to mention that there are only two people left in this clan."

"The Sandaime has always taught me to treat my companions in the village in harmony. Izumi and Sasuke are pitiful and sympathetic victims. I really can't turn a blind eye."

"As for Uchiha Itachi," Linru sighed, and said like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water: "That guy can do whatever he likes, I'm not afraid of him anyway."

you are not afraid of him

Danzo smiled and shook his head, with a trace of sarcasm on his lips: "Since you must be stubborn, I don't want to say more, so do me a favor and let this end."

What the hell do you want me to do for you?

Linru felt a little irritated in his heart, and wisps of murderous intention surged into his heart like a tide, but he restrained it forcefully, lowered his head, and said respectfully and politely:

"If the elders have any instructions, you might as well tell them directly."

"I want Uchiha Izumi to join the root." Danzo saw Linru had no reaction, and continued: "You are her benefactor, and now you have become Sasuke's teacher. I hope you can persuade her."

Root

After the Uchiha clan was exterminated, didn't the Third Generation say to the outside world that Danzo would be revoked as Hokage's assistant and disbanded? Could it be that there is something hidden in it? Danzo is still doing little things secretly?

Linru glanced at Danzo in surprise, and Danzo happened to be looking at him too, with a meaningful look in his eyes. They looked at each other for a while, and invisible messages seemed to be transmitted in the air.

After a moment, he nodded thoughtfully:

"Ok, I see."

"Linru, Lord Jiraiya will be returning to the village in a few days, did you know?" Kakashi whispered to Linru on the street, deliberately lowering his tone, as if he was testing something.

Glancing at the other party, Linru said calmly: "If it's about that demon, yes, the Sandaime has told me clearly."

After saying that, Linru squeezed out a forced smile: "Kakashi, in a short time, we will be able to fight side by side again, don't you feel very happy?"

"Not at all." Kakashi lowered his head and said in despair, "Ibiki is already writing a suicide note, and many of my team members are saying goodbye to their parents."

"Being late, leaving early, absent from work, these evil things, in the past, I would definitely not have spared them lightly, but now" he shook his head slightly and sighed with emotion:

"Let them go."

Blood Owl, this name is usually associated with words such as despair, fear, and death. The performance of Ibiki and the ANBU ninjas is not surprising, and they are even very courageous.

At the very least, they dare to face the blood owl.

In contrast, not to mention the ninjas from other villages, Asuma, who luckily escaped from the blood owl, suffered from extremely serious mental illness and could not sleep without sleeping pills every day.

Linru looked at Kakashi who was sighing slumped and fell silent, but deep down, he felt very curious. He was really, really confused about who was pretending to be him.

"Just after the Uchiha clan was exterminated, the demon appeared in the Land of Fire. Do you think these two things are connected?" Kakashi adjusted his mentality and asked attentively.

How could Linru guess the meaning? He pretended to think about it and said hesitantly: "He doesn't want to attack the village?"
