The Thousand Faces of Konoha's Weird Man

8. Not every kindness will be accepted.

"Sorry, Captain Morino, I'm late." Due to delays at home, before Moonlight Hayate arrived at the round location, there were already three people waiting outside the empty Konoha gate.

"Is it because you can't worry about the kid at home?" Two of the three people were old acquaintances of Moonlight Hayate, and the one who spoke was Yamashiro Aoba, who was well accomplished in illusions and psychic arts. The two of them often perform tasks together, and they joke easily. Hidaka Sakichi is no stranger to Yamashiro Aoba. Whenever a few people get together, Moonlight Hayate will bring his nominal brother with him. Although he acted very impatiently, everyone could feel that this dead fish-eye cared for Saki.

"I can understand Hayate's mood." From Tsukiko Hayate's first words, it is not difficult to guess that the captain of this operation is Morino Ihiki, who is famous for his strictness. Standing in the middle is the interrogation expert.

"I'm sorry, Brother Ibiki." Yamashiro Aoba then realized that he seemed to have made a mistake.

Because Morino Ihiki also has a younger brother, but he just defected to Konoha with his teacher earlier and disappeared. More importantly, Morino Ida also stole the thunder sword left by the second generation and Forbidden magic scroll.

"It doesn't matter. The tragedy has happened. Face it and solve it. That is the correct way to deal with it. Since it was my brother's mistake, as the eldest brother, I will naturally end it myself."

Konoha is really weak now. Date's actions are completely different from Naruto stealing the shadow clone scroll two or three years later. Naruto's accident was completely planned by Konoha's top management. Sacrificing Mizuki, a guy who was in cahoots with Orochimaru, so that Naruto, the future combat power, could gain experience. All the processes were in accordance with the script, and the ANBU secretly protected him, so it was foolproof.

But Date's defection was a solid slap to Konoha. Although he and Midori Aoi themselves could not weaken Konoha's combat power much, the intelligence they "carried" cannot be ignored. The Ninja Village doesn't even spare their own corpses, let alone living people who have a lot of information.

What makes Konoha even more unacceptable is that although their actions are secretive and Midori Aoi's plan is quite thorough, Konoha's ANBU didn't even react at all. This proves from another aspect that there is a problem within Konoha's Anbu. An Anbu divided into two is definitely not as useful as an Anbu clenched into a fist. The struggle or conflict between Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo has been undoubtedly exposed, but the others can only watch without exerting their strength. As time goes by, the expansion of elder Shimura Danzo's strength is a fact that is obvious to all. . The problems among Konoha's top management have gradually affected the normal operation of the village. Otherwise, Orochimaru would not have the opportunity to take advantage of it.

It is precisely because of this incident that Morino Ibi has not been very happy recently. If there is a chance to leave the village to perform tasks, it is also a good choice.

"Speaking of which, the suspicion of being a spy has been cleared. Why are you still unwilling to let your brother become a ninja, Hayate?" In fact, Morino Ihiki quite admired Tsukuba Hayate's younger brother.

"Yes, that little guy is training very hard." Yamashiro Aoba is also a guy with no foundation. He lives not far from Moonlight Hayate. When passing by that area, you can often see Saki hacking the A strong wooden stake, or engage in various weird physical competitions with Rock Lee.

"He also raises some small animals. I remember that he also helped people in the village heal their pets. Even Inuzuka Hana praised his craftsmanship. It's a pity that the Inuzuka family's generation is about the same age as Sakichi and only has teeth. A boy, otherwise he would be quite compatible with the Inuzuka family."

Facing Yamashiro Aoba's nagging, Moonlight Hayate felt helpless. This guy only saw the superficial appearance. Zoji was not as harmless as he seemed. This guy is indeed raising small animals, but unfortunately it's not because he likes them, but purely for the purpose of beating teeth.

Ninja taijutsu and chakra refining are extremely physically demanding. Barbecue restaurants in Konoha are expensive. In order to reduce the investment in nutritional intake, Sakichi raised some rabbits near the apartment. Not only did this rodent breed rapidly, It can also provide a stable food source rich in protein. From then on, rabbits made into various dishes will appear on Moonlight Blast's dining table every now and then.

Rabbits are so damn delicious

However, it is undeniable that Saki does have a way with animals. Moonlight Hayate sometimes even doubts that this guy can understand the language of animals. Of course, it is also true to help the pets in the village cure some diseases, but what Yamashiro Aoba didn't know was that before that, the stray animals around Konoha Village had been "persecuted" by Sakichi.

From Moonlight Hayate's perspective, if Saki develops this talent, he may be able to become a unique ninja like the Inuzuka family, with quite comprehensive abilities. But the possibility is slim. The Inuzuka family is not as simple as it seems. Apart from anything else, it is simply impossible to cultivate creatures that can cooperate with ninjas in a systematic manner when their own status and financial resources have not reached a certain level. Even Secret ninjutsu that interacts with animals cannot be developed alone. The Inuzuka family is an ancient family that has existed since the founding of Konoha. Its hundreds of years of heritage are like a huge castle. Even if Sakichi is extremely talented, he may not even be able to touch the floor of the castle in his lifetime.

"He is not the same as us. As long as he lives in Konoha honestly, it will be fine." Moonlight Hayate sighed slightly, and there was no way to explain this to Yamashiro Aoba. He just stated his expectations for Sakichi simply and crudely. come out.

"Hayate is such a gentle guy, do you want that child to continue the family?" The fourth person who had been standing quietly aside finally made some noise. His look is very representative, with black sunglasses and a big windbreaker. At a glance, Moonlight Hayate had already determined his identity, a member of the Aburame clan of Konoha.

"Aburame-sama knows me." Although they are not like the big families that surround the core of Konoha like Inarakadie and Yuan Fei, the strength of second-class families such as Inuzuka and Aburame is beyond what ordinary people can imagine. Ye's status is also quite noble. Most ordinary ninjas will have some respect for them, especially the older ones in this type of family. Just like the one in front of me, he looks about the same age as Morino Hiki.

"Moonlight Hayate, a physical genius, of course I have heard of it. I also heard that you seem to have invented a new blood inheritance limit." Not every Aburame is as taciturn as Shino. At least this Aburame looks like Very normal, "I am Aburame Shiguro."

"Long admired the name" is really not a business bragging between ninjas. Aburame Shiguro has long been a well-known jounin, with weird methods and good use of poisonous insects.

If there is anyone among the four who can truly understand Moonlight Hayate's thoughts, I'm afraid only Aburame Shihei, who comes from a family background.

Although on the surface, Moonlight Hayate and Yamashiro Aoba are just like "scumbags" who work hard on their own, the Hidaka family's family-style education cannot be simply smoothed over in a few generations. Especially the appearance of Sakichi has deepened Moonlight Hayate's concept of family. Separating families to serve the clan is something that is imprinted in the souls of Neon people in this era. At least Moonlight Blast is not exempt from this custom.

Just like the Aburame clan, compared to Aburame Zhiwei, Aburame Shihei's strength is not inferior at all, but the leader is indeed Aburame Zhiwei. In addition to his status as a direct descendant, what is more important is the family’s investment in the oil girl Zhiwei. In other words, it is used for breeding. Even if it is a pig, it must be fed with the best feed.

This is also Hidaka Sakichi's position. Since he is not dead, he should continue to breed offspring for the Hidaka family.

Moonlight Hayate probably wants to keep Saki away from the dangerous world of ninjas and pass on the Hidaka family name. After all, there is no so-called power of a clan. Hayate's personal ability cannot protect Saki on the ever-changing battlefield.

"It's just a false name. I probably understand Yueguang-kun's feelings towards my younger brother."

After a few words from Aburame Shiguro, Yamashiro Aoba and Morino Ihiki both realized some truth and nodded, agreeing with Moonlight Hayate's choice. Especially Morino Ihiki, if she hadn't asked Date to go to the ninja school, wouldn't that kind of thing have happened?

After calming down a bit, Morino Ihiki, as the captain, has the first responsibility to ensure that the team successfully completes the mission: "Let's talk about these things slowly after we return to Konoha after we successfully complete the mission. Since everyone is here, let's We set off for the Sound Ninja Village. Zhihei has the strongest perception, so pay attention to control the surrounding environment."

"Yes" Aburame Shiguro, who jumped up onto the branch, took the lead and opened the way ahead.

The other three figures also followed.

"This time Konoha will arrange ANBU to follow."

The ANBU behind him did not deliberately hide his aura. In addition to Aburame Shiguro, who has super perceptive abilities, Yamashiro Aoba and Moonlight Hayate have also discovered his existence.

"Did the Green Green Kwai incident have such a big impact?" Using the corner of his eye, Yueguang Gale saw a cat-faced mask. She is dressed similarly to her own, but what is more eye-catching is her long purple hair that peeks out of her hood.

"It may be that the top management of Konoha attaches great importance to this operation. The information revealed above is that she is a perceptive ninja and has good attainments in physical skills and sealing skills." Morino Hiki also doesn't like this kind of behavior. He felt like he was under surveillance, but he also understood that the appearance of this Anbu had a lot to do with him being the captain of this operation. "As a team that handles diplomatic issues, we still have insufficient manpower. In addition, as a team that handles diplomatic issues, we still have insufficient manpower. In the event of an unexpected retreat, a well-rounded reserve team is also good.”

Powerful reconnaissance capabilities, excellent illusion creation and response capabilities, stealth assassination capabilities and fierce torture capabilities, and now even the means of retreat and support are complete. This is not a formation for a negotiation mission. It would not be surprising if Morino Ihiki asked him to capture the leaders of the Sound Ninja Village and bring them to Moonlight Hayate after arriving at the Sound Ninja Village. Such a lineup can basically overturn the third- and fourth-rate Ninja Village regime.

On the other side, after Moonlight Hayate began his mission, Sakichi also left the apartment and walked on the road to Ninja Street. Some time ago, I asked Fang Zhu to help me get some ninjutsu scrolls that I can use. Compared with refining chakra, learning ninjutsu is much simpler. At least there will be no particularly big dangers. At most, using ninjutsu It's just a failure and a waste of chakra.

"Ah"

Isn’t the weather very cold? Why do I sneeze? Is it because my body is getting weaker? My ears are also a little warm. Is it because I am going to have a fever?

Unexpectedly, Saki was being orchestrated by someone behind his back. He quickened his pace. Today, he was pressed for time. In addition to practicing ninjutsu, he also had to help Fangsuke experiment with the scroll ninjutsu he had just mastered.
