They also wore masks with painted faces, and one could tell at a glance that they were members of the Anbu.

However, their attire was different from Konoha's regular ANBU attire.

In contrast, their clothing is darker and more grey.

Among them, the figure carrying a short knife behind him looked in the direction where the three people had just left, and then looked in the direction where Yue Guang Ji Feng and Mao Yue Xi Yan left.

"You three, go report everything we just heard and saw to Lord Danzo."

"I have to go and see what secrets Moonlight Gale has."

"Yes!"

As soon as the sound came out, four figures immediately disappeared into the night.

......

Konoha, Hokage's office.

The three Anbu who had just hurried over had been waiting for more than ten minutes.

"Why hasn't Lord Hokage come yet? I'm so anxious."

"Stop complaining. Hokage-sama needs to rest too."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened.

The three of them immediately headed for the door, knelt on one knee, and said in unison: "Hokage-sama."

Sarutobi Hiruzen tried hard to keep his eyelids open.

The heavy eye bags drooped on his face and seemed to be about to fall off.

When he saw that there were only three people coming, he had already guessed what was going on.

This is probably still an old problem among ninjas.

The team members and the captain had a quarrel, it’s no big deal.

The thought of this made him very unhappy.

I have to ask him to deal with all the trivial matters. It's so annoying.

"Oh, it's Aburame Shimusu, what happened? Do you have to wake me up so late to deal with it?"

"Where is your captain, Mao Yue Xi Yan? Why hasn't she come yet?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little impatient.

But his tone was a little too obvious, and Aburame Shicong naturally caught his emotions at the moment.

Obviously, it is no longer appropriate to say bad things about Uzuki Yugao at this moment, so let's talk about Orochimaru first.

"Hokage-sama, Orochimaru has returned to the village!"

"Oh, Orochimaru is back...what did you say? Orochimaru? When did it happen?"

Hearing that name, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly became much more sober.

Looking at Yue Fei and Hiruzen's solemn expressions, Aburame Shicong felt a little happy in her heart.

Isn't this considered a meritorious service?

Wouldn't this be a reward of several thousand gold coins?

"Hokage-sama, this happened an hour ago."

"Our team found the injured Moonlight Gale while on patrol..."

"We were originally going to bring Moonlight Gale here to report on his duties, but he ignored us at all. Moreover, the captain even said something like Moonlight Gale needs to rest now."

"Yes, yes, that's what they said at the time. Moreover, Moonlight Gale was extremely arrogant and said that even you can't disturb his rest tonight."

"Yes, I can prove it."

The three of them sang in unison, and their words sounded like the truth.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen was so smart that he certainly wouldn't believe such nonsense.

As for the fact that Gekko Gale ignored them, Sarutobi Hiruzen believed it, because the man only smiled when facing Uzuki Yugao.

But they just made up some extremely arrogant nonsense about Moonlight Gale at the end?

Is it possible for such an introverted ninja to do something so rebellious?

Do you think I, Sarutobi Hiruzen, am a fool?

Sarutobi Hiruzen was so angry that he had a headache.

Just as he took a deep breath to adjust his mood, the three of them exchanged glances for a moment.

"Hokage-sama, what we said is true..."

"Alright, alright."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was very impatient.

"The most urgent task now is to find out the purpose of Orochimaru's coming to Konoha, rather than causing trouble for colleagues."

"You, immediately find out where Orochimaru is and follow him secretly."

"Try to find out Orochimaru's purpose in coming to Konoha."

"Yes!"

The three of them turned their heads, and crystal clear beads of sweat slid down their foreheads.

I originally wanted to reap some benefits, but unexpectedly I ended up taking on a dangerous job for no apparent reason.

This scared the three of them.

As soon as they turned around, they started whispering.

The two of them sandwiched Aburame Shimosuke in the middle and glared at him fiercely.

"Well, the three of us are going to follow Orochimaru. This is like throwing meat buns at a dog!"

"That's right, it's all your fault. Why did you do this?"

"Now it seems that the captain is smart. Maybe she has already thought of it. Whoever reports this matter will have to follow Orochimaru."

"Woo woo woo, I'm still young, I don't want to die yet."

Aburame Shicong was speechless.

After the three of them left the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the bright moon outside the window and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

"It seems that what needs to be faced must be faced. There is no way to avoid it. It is all fate."

"I hope my judgment is wrong."

"By the way, I wonder how badly Hayate was injured. He is a ninja who possesses the Kekkei Genkai of Toutou and survived Orochimaru. He is also the flame of Konoha. He must not be in any harm."

As soon as he finished speaking, the lights in the Hokage's office went out, and a shadow flashed across the sky above the Hokage's office at a high speed, heading straight for Maple Leaf City in the western suburbs of Konoha.

......

It was 3:30 in the morning, the moon was dark and the wind was strong, but the lights were still on in a single-family residential building in Maple Leaf City.

Yueguang Jifeng changed his bloody clothes and was about to take a shower when Mao Yue Xi Yan suddenly called him.

She looked at Moonlight Gale in surprise.

"You shed so much blood, how come you don't have any wounds at all?"

"Could it be that you were pretending just now?"

As she spoke, Mao Yue Xi Yan came up to her with a suspicious look on her face, as if to act funny.

Ji Feng looked into Xi Yan's eyes and smiled slightly, then raised his hand and gently stroked her purple hair.

"I was actually injured, but I'm completely healed now."

"Oh no!"

Mao Yue Xi Yan's face was full of shock.

"I remember that you had to heal your hand for a long time after you scratched it in the past. How come your wound healed so quickly tonight?"

"Have you always lied to me before?"

"Hmph╭(╯^╰)╮, and you even tricked me into feeding you. That's too much."

Xiyan pouted and turned her back.

Ji Feng chuckled and didn't explain any more.

At this moment, a warm hug is enough to resolve everything.

And that kind of white lie will become more romantic.

Just when the two were happily being affectionate with each other, a slight chakra fluctuation made Moonlight Gale's nerves tense again.

He closed his eyes and calmly sensed the other person's chakra.

But suddenly he discovered that in addition to this man who came alone and had the strength of a Jonin, there were also two huge groups of chakra converging here at high speed.

He frowned slightly, then relaxed after a moment.

Mao Yue Xi Yan looked at Yue Guang Ji Feng's strange behavior and was full of doubts.

"What's wrong with you, Hayate? Are you feeling unwell?"

Moonlight Gale withdrew his gaze from the window and slowly fell on the girl's delicate cheek.

"Hey, it's okay."

"It's just that a few friends may come over in a while."
