The old devil Konoha wants to be a good person

At this time, the two of them had walked to the Konoha neighborhood. Seeing that there was no one around, Jiraiya straightened his face and said bluntly: "You understand the dangers of blood owl even if I don't tell you."

"With your strength, you will never survive against the blood owl alone. Therefore, for this mission, I want you to lead your team members to follow me closely and not to take a step away. Do you understand?"

Knowing that Jiraiya was taking care of him, Linru was not surprised when he heard this. He nodded lightly and accepted the other party's kindness. Then the two chatted for a few more words and headed to the Hokage Building together.

Now that Jiraiya has returned to the village, the investigation mission will naturally begin. In the Hokage's office, Linru meets Kakashi, Ibiki and others who have been waiting for a long time as expected.

Three ANBU captains, two Jonin squad leaders, plus one "Sannin", a total of six people met here, while the remaining 20 middle and genin team members were waiting outside the building.

To be honest, this kind of lineup is more than enough to attack some small ninja villages, but their task is only to determine the location of the blood owl, and it does not even involve fighting.

"S-level mission, detect the blood owl's traces, set off." The third generation announced in a deep voice. Everyone responded solemnly, and then left the office one after another, summoning their team members to leave the village.

S-level missions are the highest-level ninja missions and are generally related to national security. The rewards start from 100 million taels and there is no upper limit. This shows the importance and danger of blood owl.

Standing alone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the figures walking away along the roof, his eyes a little dazed, and he remembered the Five Kage Talks held in the Land of Iron last year.

The five major ninja villages have been fighting each other for so many years, but they can reach an agreement on working together to eradicate the blood owl. This shows how much blood debt this big devil has shouldered.

The so-called public enemy of the ninja world who can be punished refers to a humanoid natural disaster like the Blood Owl who attacks others for no reason. The crimes he committed have almost reached a level that cannot be tolerated in the world.

Although the Sandaime didn't want to get into trouble with this madman, after all, compared to other ninja villages, Konoha had been harmed by blood lords very rarely, but there was pressure from the outside world, especially from the daimyo.

Or let him resolutely decide to become his enemy.

If nothing else, if Konoha still wants to stay in the Land of Fire, or even in the ninja world, it must draw a clear line with the blood owl and make its own position and attitude clear.

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought silently that he had achieved the ultimate level of what he could do. With Jiraiya's intervention and the participation of the elite Jonin of the Hinata and Inuzuka clan, the Blood Owl

They probably won't be found

"Hello, Captain Linru."

Linru, who was following the large army jumping on the tree trunks, noticed a figure flashing beside him. It was a female ANBU wearing a mask, with long purple hair and a short sword on her back.

"You are"

"My name is Uzuki Yuyan, a new member of the fourth team, responsible for replacing the chuunin Tomita Kaede." Uzuki Yuyan took off his mask, revealing a youthful and beautiful face.

The fourth detachment is the number of Linru's unit.

Although her face was full of business and calm expression, Linru still noticed a trace of nervousness hidden in her eyes, so she frowned and asked:

"Where's that guy Kaede?"

"Chūnin Tomita Kaede accidentally injured his legs with a detonating charm due to a training error. He can no longer perform missions, so the Sandaime ordered me to fill his vacancy."

I'm afraid it's not intentional.

After hearing Uoyuki Xiyan's words, such an idea came to the minds of all the ninjas present. Linru felt very embarrassed, and his tone couldn't help but become much colder:

"Why didn't anyone inform me in advance?"

"This happened last night. The hospital only came out with the diagnosis report early this morning, so" at this point, Uoyue Xiyan shook her head and chose to remain silent.

Well, it was indeed intentional.

Kakashi saw that Linru's face was very ugly, so he persuaded him in a comforting tone: "The mission target is the blood owl after all, so it is understandable that this situation occurs."

The first class monitor, Hinata Masakazu, also echoed: "I have heard of the name Tomita Kaede. He seems to be one of the survivors of the "Ishou Town Massacre" and has seen the blood owl with his own eyes."

"I'm afraid Tomita Kaede's psychological problem is very serious."

Everyone looked at each other after hearing this, and saw pity and sympathy in each other's eyes, and their disdain and anger towards Tomita Kaede, a deserter, also eased a lot.

In the massacre in Shou Town, it is said that 500 people died at the hands of the blood lord. The death was extremely miserable, and this was only an insignificant part of his countless crimes.

Linru took several deep breaths in succession, as if to calm down his restless mood. After a while, his expression calmed down, and Gujing looked at Uoyuki Xiyan calmly.

"Maoyue Xiyan, right?"

Seeing the little girl nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, Linru sighed inaudibly and forced out a smile: "Welcome to join the fourth ANBU detachment."

"Captain Linru, I will perform well."

Mao Yue Xiyan responded solemnly, with a serious look on her face.

As a newcomer, it is not easy to gain a foothold in the ANBU. After all, this is not a warm-hearted genin team, but an elite organization with masters.

People who are incompetent will have a high probability of being kicked out by the captain after a few missions. Uoyuki Xiyan knows this very well, so she made up her mind before coming:

In this mission, I must exceed the captain's expectations.

blood lord

Your reputation is so great, let my aunt use the family-herited ninja sword in her hand to verify your quality. Running on the road ahead, a flash of fighting spirit flashed in Uoyuki Xiyan's eyes.

At the same time, when Lin Ru and others were traveling day and night to the southwest border of the Land of Fire, the Junan combination of the Akatsuki organization was also approaching here step by step.

"I have never heard that the Blood Owl actually has subordinates."

On the dirt road in the forest, Weasel, dressed in a black and red cloud robe, slowly moved away the bamboo hat with wind chimes tied with his fingers, his red eyes shining with rays of unknown meaning.

"There are many things you haven't heard of. If the Blood Owl doesn't have a group of loyal subordinates, who will be responsible for handing over to us for a long time? He can handle these trivial matters by himself. Don't be ridiculous."

Loquat Juuzang carried the decapitating sword and said lazily that he had just competed with Itachi a few days ago, and he recognized the strength of his new teammate.

Although trust has not yet been achieved, at least communication can be smooth.

"The Hunting Owls really didn't expect that Blood Owl's subordinates would give their organization such a name." When it comes to this, a strange expression flashes across Itachi's expression, no matter how calm he is.

Itachi had never heard of such a disrespectful naming method for the boss. In his impression, the blood owl should be a guy with a very bad temper. How could he endure this situation?

Loquat Juuzang squinted at Itachi, and said as a matter of course, "If we don't clear up the relationship with the Blood Owl, believe it or not, within ten days and a half, his subordinates will be hunted to death by people from the five great ninja villages."

Indeed, with the reputation of the Blood Owl, anyone associated with him will be hated by the entire ninja world. He deliberately chose such a name to be an enemy of the leader, presumably for survival.

Itachi thought like this and understood the meaning of the name Hunter Owl.
