"Don't run!"

"Don't let him get away!"

"Damn Konoha White Fang!"

The forest was dark and dim, with so little light that one could hardly see the surroundings. It was quiet and silent, but there was a tense and dangerous atmosphere. Various birds and beasts were lurking in the dark, with sharp eyes, vigilantly observing the movements around them, as if they were ready to pounce on their prey or avoid possible threats at any time.

Night is about to fall, and this forest will usher in its "midnight snack time". For the animals living here, night is not a time to rest, but the beginning of another life-and-death struggle.

The ninjas collided head-on, and the weaker side was tonight's extra meal.

"Host, run! If you get caught, we'll have to do it all over again!"

"The host doesn't want to do it again!"

"002 reminds you that this has been repeated 520 times today. 002 loves the host as much as the number of repetitions."

No no no, you don't love at all.

If you really love someone, don't just make sarcastic remarks and make chicken soup for them.

"002 Friendly reminder, host only needs to restart five more times to achieve achievement 525."

“Self-love is also very important!”

"Shut up..."

It seems better than before, but not much better.

Ningji nimbly moved between the branches, but the pursuers behind him were of all kinds.

White Fang's mission is complex.

It is definitely not something that can be accomplished by a small team.

Just stepping on the thick tree trunk, a cold and damp feeling instantly spread from the soles of the feet to the whole body. The surface of the tree trunk was covered with moss and dew, as if covered by a thin layer of mist, which made people feel cold.

Every step you take requires extreme caution, because a slight loss of balance or excessive force may cause you to lose control of your body and fall.

Falling from this height is no joke. At best you may suffer injuries or fractures, and at worst your life may be in danger!

But this is just normal for ninjas.

And now, chasing and fleeing, like a slippery tree trunk, has become Neji's normal state.

Can't be caught up.

The pursuers are not only enemy supporters, but also...

People at the root.

"Damn Danzo..."

Ningji regretted it for who knows how many times.

I really regret it.

If you hide the group in advance...

No, no.

The boy pushed the thought out of his mind.

It seems that I have been lost in time for too long and can no longer distinguish between people and "people".

"He went to the left!"

The one on the left is just a clone, while Neji's real self is hiding behind the tree trunk on the right.

The time when the clone appears and the speed of its movement must be consistent with the original body.

As far as Neji can remember, the only one who can do this seems to be Uchiha Itachi.

That ninjutsu: clone explosion.

Whether chasing the clone or escaping far away, there is only one way to go, which is death.

Whether 521 will come depends on what happens next.

It took Neji three attempts just to successfully align the clone's pace with his own.

The Hinata's use of the clone jutsu is like the Uchiha's use of water jutsu.

There are some, but not many.

Under normal circumstances, it is just barely usable.

Besides, the Shadow Clone Technique - after all, it's in the Index of Forbidden Books, so it's a little lacking in meaning.

There are not many people who study, and even fewer who can learn.

Even Neji started learning after the Chunin Exam.

The clone was quickly removed, and the memory of death was quickly transmitted to Neji's mind.

"It's really cruel."

Danzo had no intention of letting Hatake Sakumo retire after his success from the beginning.

Both the father and the son's status and reputation in Konoha expanded too quickly.

Even if Hatake Sakumo said that he was loyal to Konoha, he could not make Danzo feel at ease.

Even if the man kneeled down to him, kowtowed three times, and called himself Danzo's dog, he would most likely not be able to escape this disaster.

Only dead people are safest.

If even the Genin understands this truth, how could Danzo not understand it?

The death of a man named Sakumo Hatake who had no background was very important to him and to Konoha.

It's insignificant.

He's just a ninja with some skills.

...

"Lord Danzo."

He lowered his head slightly, and the hideous and twisted scar on his chin was hidden in the dim light and shadow, but as the angle of light changed, the scar suddenly became clearly visible, like a dark red centipede lying there, appearing extremely glaring and abrupt.

Danzo, wearing a kimono, sat opposite the Sandaime Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The two tones of smoke, dark purple and light white, collided and entangled with each other, like two demons with bared fangs and claws. They jumped up and down strangely, and then rose up together as if they had agreed to do so, slowly disappearing into the sky. The purple was like smoke and miasma, eerie and terrifying; the white was like clouds and haze, turbid and dirty.

Everything became transparent again, and the person at one end of the long table spoke.

"You shouldn't have let Sakumo go on this mission."

Lord Hokage used his own unique way of speaking to express his dissatisfaction in a tactful way.

"Don't say that, Hiruzen."

"You also signed the document at that time."

Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, then turned to the ninja who was kneeling beside him, preparing to report.

"Is this...your ninja?"

It's not dark, not completely dark.

It's not like he completely accepted Tobirama-sensei's roots.

More like, a ninja belonging to Danzo himself.

"Open your mouth."

Sarutobi Hiruzen tapped his pipe on the table, and some ashes fell out.

But the ninja didn't move.

"Open it."

Danzo ordered the ninja again, almost provocatively.

This time he was really obedient.

The ninjas of Konoha did not leave their obedience to the Hokage.

Instead, he gave it to his direct superior.

Is this a good thing?

This should be a bad thing for me.

The more Sarutobi Hiruzen thought about it, the more bitter his mouth felt. He saw the curse mark on the ninja's tongue.

"You've gone too far, Danzo."

“But it works great, doesn’t it?”

"Hiruzen, you are just too soft-hearted."

This was Danzo's usual tactic, and it worked almost every time.

"Konoha needs not only light, but also darkness."

“Only in this way can the village develop in the long run.”

"Didn't Tobirama-sensei say the same thing before?"

maybe...

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't refute it.

He is the Hokage, and someone is blatantly disobeying the Hokage's orders.

But in the eyes of those who disobey, it becomes right.

The indecisive Hokage nodded hesitantly and said no more.

Power should not be held only in one's own hands.

For Danzo's people, it is enough for them to be loyal to Danzo.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had learned this when he went to the Land of Water to study diplomacy.

Soldiers only need to listen to their generals.

As the saying goes, everyone has their own expertise and everyone has their own sequence in learning. It is not a good thing to hold all the power in your hands.

"Uh-huh..."

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Danzo exhaled a puff of white smoke with great pleasure, waved his hand in the direction of the ninja, indicating that he could start reporting.

"It's like this, there's news coming from the undercover tracking team..."

"Hatake Sakumo has successfully completed his mission and is on his way back."

"And the two teammates that were deployed earlier...were also protected and unharmed!"

Hatake Sakumo is so terrifyingly strong!

This is Konoha’s genius ninja, Konoha White Fang.

The reporting ninja only dared to praise secretly in his heart. If he said it out loud, he would lose not only his tongue but even his head.

"mission completed?"

"Isn't the mission not completed yet?"

Danzo was unhurried, holding the cigarette holder in his mouth.

The ivory cigarette holder is a little yellow, but the middle-aged old man just likes this one.

Anyone who comes here would find it extravagant and disgusting.

I heard that when he went to Danzo, he found out from somewhere some time ago that the best cigarettes were made from children's leg bones, and he wanted to buy some from the Rain Country to collect.

It's really nasty.

"Danzo-sama..."

"What do you mean?"

I have a universe in my mind, but all I can say are these few words.

The reporting ninja lowered his head even lower.

As long as Lord Danzo couldn't see him, he wouldn't know what he was thinking.

"Danzo..."

Also silent was Sarutobi Hiruzen.

But he obviously knew what Danzo was planning to do.

"You are a ninja of Konoha, and so is Sakumo."

"Besides, he has a son who is only nine years old."

The child's mother passed away early, and Kakashi was raised almost entirely by Sakumo.

It is not easy for any child to get to where he is now.

"Hiruzen!"

Danzo raised his voice.

"You are just too soft-hearted!"

Danzo knew too well what mission he had assigned to Hatake Sakumo.

As long as you can ensure that the mission is completed and there are no casualties among your teammates, you will surely gain both fame and fortune.

"Even if you don't consider yourself, you should consider your family..."

This is Danzo's second weapon that he uses very easily.

"Your son, your future grandson..."

"Think about it!"

Okay, the fatal blow.

Danzo put his cigarette in his mouth with a reluctant look, but saw that Sarutobi Hiruzen was still hesitating.

Tsk.

This old man is getting worse and worse as he gets older.

"Konoha has just come out of chaos, and what it needs most is a family that can know it for a long time."

"And this family must be the Sarutobi family."

As long as you throw the bait into the fish's mouth, there is no fish that will not take the bait.

joke.

Sure enough, he saw the Sandaime-sama Hokage and nodded.

It would have been better if this had been done earlier. It's really a waste of time.

Fortunately, Konoha White Fang was only fast with his sword, not fast at running, otherwise it would have been too late.

"Let the 'bait' reveal the handover location."

"Go."

"Yes!"

From the very beginning, Danzo did not leave any way out for White Fang.

...

"Release!"

White smoke drifted by, and the person hiding behind the tree was no longer Konoha White Fang, but the White-eyed boy.

The clone explosion is just one clone.

And what he separated had already far exceeded the third level.

The real White Fang of Konoha chose the direction of his companions at the first opportunity - even if those were just nails inserted by Danzo.

"Flying Thunder God Technique!"

If not now, when?

Will the pursuers come looking for us when they find something wrong?

"Host, host, why are you leaving before the mission is completed?!"

"Don't worry, it will be done."

Even if he didn't go specifically to find Hatake Sakumo to get a unified confession, the mission would be accomplished.

"He is just pretending to be ignorant."

Konoha White Fang will know what he should do.
