Konoha's Barrier Master

"Thank you for your kindness, Hokage-sama, but I have confidence in my own strength, and I made this request after careful consideration, so even if something happens, I will not complain."

"Please arrange the Chuunin exams for me."

After Uzumaki Makoto finished speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen knocked on the ashtray again. The crisp knocking sound echoed in the silent Hokage's office. The white light covered the room with a layer of white light. You could hear a needle drop in the silent space. The fuzzy atmosphere seems to distort the light or space, and people inside will gradually feel various discomforts in the body. Those with a bad mentality may even feel that their vision gradually begins to blur and their body becomes uncomfortable.

But Uzumaki Makoto still smiled like a light, and his eyes were deep as if they were hiding an abyss, as if he couldn't feel the unbearable atmosphere in the environment.

Like everyone else, Hatake Sakumo also focused his attention on the red-haired boy.

The young man sounds very handsome, with exquisite facial features. Whether taken out alone or as a part embedded in the face, he is all exquisite and harmonious that makes people addicted, like an elf in nature.

White skin will make people think of the falling snow and clouds in winter, and it seems that when touched, it will be melted into water by the body temperature.

A head of fiery red shoulder-length hair is tied into a ponytail and left behind. The color is like flames and blood, so eye-catching. The fiery red pupils of the same color are like the purest rubies. If you look closely, they are as deep and mysterious as the starry sky, as if they contain Holding a thousand mysteries.

Wearing a simple black long-sleeved shirt on the upper body and the same black trousers on the lower body, with white skin, red hair and eyes, the color contrast is extremely sharp, and the gentle smile on the face makes people feel as warm as spring, and the whole person It looks like a magic sword hidden in a sheath, with all its sharpness hidden under the smile.

It makes people feel warm and dangerous, unconsciously close yet distant.

Unlike others, he was not looking at the boy's appearance. His empty eyes showed what Hatake Sakumo was thinking about.

To be precise, Hatake Sakumo was remembering.

That was the experience today.

According to the agreement with Uzushio Village, today is the day when boys and girls come to Konoha. Since boys and girls are related to tailed beasts, Konoha's nuclear weapons and final trump card, Sarutobi Hiruzen for safety and confidentiality issues , in the end, only the ANBU Captain Hatake Sakumo was sent secretly to greet the Konoha ninjas and the boys and girls from Uzushio Village who were going to Uzushio Village to bring back the boys.

Considering Hatake Sakumo's combat prowess, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that even one person was enough.

A Kage-level ninja is of course enough to provide support.

It’s just that I don’t know what methods the spies used, but the information and action route of Hatake Sakumo were eventually leaked.

After Hatake Sakumo left the village, on his way to the place where the Konoha ninja predicted he would arrive after sending the last message, he encountered an unexpected unknown ninja who blocked him.

These ninjas didn't seem to know that this person was Hatake Sakumo. From the beginning, they charged at Hatake Sakumo with death determination, even if their partners fell one by one to the white fang. Even under the sharp sword, he never took a step back.

Although in the end all the ninjas died under Hatake Sakumo's powerful sword skills and sharp blades, the ninjas who focused on containment and wasted time still used the characteristics of ninjas to stop Hatake Sakumo for a long time. As a result, Hatake Sakumo failed to arrive at the agreed meeting point at the agreed time.

And just when Hatake Sakumo eliminated all the ninjas that blocked his way and hurried to a forest not far from the meeting point in a hurry, he saw a scene that shocked him:

In the forest, an unknown number of golden chains were hovering in the air. The chains made of chakra made a sharp sound when flying, flying in the air, twisting, folding, and clinging, covering the sky and the earth as well as the trees in the entire small space. The entire space is surrounded into a ball, which is airtight. At the same time, at the top of each chain, there is a sharp, sharp, arrow-shaped tip with flashing cold light, like a snake head, leading a huge winding body to dance wildly in the air. The scene is Like the devil's feast.

Outside the chain cage, stood a handsome young man with red hair, wearing black clothes and black trousers, who looked about eleven or twelve years old. A golden chain came out of his palm, and then split into dragons and snakes all over the sky. Dance and twist wildly.

In the chain, with Hatake Sakumo's eyesight, he could clearly see through the gaps between the chains. There was a seriously injured ninja inside, moving around in a small space, trying his best to avoid being stabbed in the air at a special frequency. chains like javelins.

In Hatake Sakumo's view, even though the man tried his best to dodge, he was not able to dodge all the chains. His body that was already stained with blood was even more stained by the blood flowing from the new wounds cut by the tips of the chains. It was even brighter, like a worn-out rag doll, and some of the blood spilled into the air like a spring due to the ninja's dodge, and finally fell to the ground and dyed the soil red.

Seemingly noticing Hatake Sakumo's sudden arrival, the young man standing outside the prison of chains with a golden chain shooting out of his white palm turned his eyes slightly, and then turned his head to reveal a heart-warming smile to him. smiled, and then gently grasped the source of the golden chain with his slender fingers.

Next, something happened that even a Kage-level ninja, Hatake Sakumo, was slightly frightened.

The huge group of chains gathered into a sphere paused for a moment under the young man's hand, and then became extremely excited as if on stimulants or chicken blood, and stabbed at the ninja at a speed that far surpassed the speed he had just wounded. , the chains cut across the space and rubbed the air, making a slight but sharp friction sound. The sounds of so many chains together were like the soul-killing whistle blown by the messenger of hell. The next moment, it was time to behead the soul with a scythe.

In Hatake Sakumo's eyes, the dense chains pierced the ninja in the cage almost at the same time. The golden chains were dyed with bright red liquid and stopped. The huge kinetic energy disappeared in an instant. The ninja was at the last moment. All his efforts were in vain. His body was penetrated by multiple chains, and blood flowed from the transparent wounds. It dripped along the cold chains and splashed on the ground, like the coquettish blood flowers blooming on the other side.The ninja vomited blood but did not lower his head. His eyes were wide open and his bloodshot pupils were full of resentment and regret towards the boy.

Yes, Hatake Sakumo was sure that he saw it right. That emotion was very clear and obvious, and that was regret.

Showing such emotions at the last moment must be because he regretted provoking such a monster, Hatake Sakumo thought as he looked at the boy with complicated eyes.

After watching the end of the entire hunting process, Hatake Sakumo felt a little emotional, but he did not move because he found his target. He was preparing words to talk to this man with a gentle smile and seemingly no defense. The young man said that although he was wearing a Konoha ninja uniform and a Konoha forehead protector to escort him back to the palace, what if people didn't believe him?

Although not afraid, but

Hatake Sakumo glanced at the golden chain and felt inexplicably that he couldn't let the chain touch his body, otherwise something bad would happen.

It's better not to cause conflict.

At this moment, the handsome red-haired boy retracted the chain, and the golden chains retracted with a sound, merging into one chain and finally retracted into the palm of his hand, causing Hatake Sakumo to look over.

Then the handsome young man whispered to the ANBU captain:

"Can you please keep it a secret?"

The magnetic voice was soft and soothing. It sounded like the gentlest greeting, but Hatake Sakumo could hear the meaning. It was an iron will that could not be bent. It was a will that he did not see. .

For some reason, he fell silent. Although he didn't agree, he didn't refute either. Then he asked:

"Are you Uzumaki Makoto?"
