[Naruto] Angelica

The day after the qualifiers ended, the ninja class received an order from Hokage to gather for an emergency meeting.

The Ministry of Intelligence reported that Hayate Moon's body was found in Kikyo Castle in the morning. This news made the third generation reassess the seriousness of the incident.

Kikyo Castle is far away from Konoha, and it is the place where other Shinobi Villagers who came to take the Chunin Exam rested during this month.After the qualifiers ended yesterday afternoon, ninjas from various countries have arrived there one after another under the leadership of the team leader. The people are so mixed that it is impossible to tell which side of the ninja attacked Hayate.

The news made Hongdou start to sweat coldly on his forehead, and the confrontation with Orochimaru in the second exam is still vivid in his mind. "Could it be Orochimaru?"

"No..." Kakashi thought of the boy he saw in Sasuke's ward yesterday afternoon, "The one who followed Hayate to Kikyo Castle is most likely an Otonin spy named 'Dodo'."

"What the hell is Orochimaru planning! We have to stop the Chunin exam immediately, and do our best to investigate Orochimaru..."

Someone proposed this, but it was rejected by the third generation.

In the third official game, the lords of the allied countries and the leaders of Ninja Village will gather together, and Orochimaru appears in front of Hongdou, threatening not to stop.He had to figure out what Orochimaru was planning, and stopping the game rashly might bring the situation to a worse side.

"Are the allies going to betray us!" a Jonin gritted his teeth.

"There is no difference between an alliance treaty and a verbal agreement." Kakashi still drooped his eyelids, expressionless, as if he was accustomed to this terrible thing, "Isn't this how the ninja wars happened in the past. Now, they want to repeat the same mistakes -"

"We have too little information, so don't make wild guesses for now." The third generation interrupted him.

Advisor Xiaochun also agreed with him: "The Anbu, which is going to various countries to investigate intelligence, has already set off, and our rash actions may play into the enemy's hands."

"Before the information is sent back, everyone should strengthen vigilance but please stay calm, especially the responsibility of leading students, and watch out for those impulsive little devils..." The third generation's voice also sank, "Even if it really develops to the end In the worst case, I will fight them to the end."

Outside Konoha Town, next to the waterfall in the forest, Anbu, wearing a bird mask, found Jiraiya squatting behind the dense bushes.

"Strictly speaking, you are now my subordinate, not in the Anbu organization, so you can refuse to perform this task."

After hearing her reason for coming, Ji Lai also stood up, playing with the telescope in his hand.

"Or, are you afraid that you might run into acquaintances while staying here?"

Seeing her silence, Zilai also judged: "It seems that we have already met."

"It's Yibixi. I don't know why he became suspicious. Yesterday, I went to Anbu to convey the third generation's order, but he blocked me at the door."

"Oh?" Zilai touched his chin, "Did he recognize you?"

Anbu shook his head, lifted the mask, revealing a gentle face with ruddy skin, curved brows and apricot eyes, and a non-aggressive appearance, not at all like a ninja who had experienced wars and wandered through life and death countless times.

"I told him that my name is Kitashirakawa Tamako, and I was summoned by the third generation to come back to Konoha's superannuated Anbe. He believed it."

Jilai also let out a meaningful laugh. "It's not easy to take off the mask after wearing it for a long time."

She didn't answer.Jilai didn't intend to continue preaching, so he turned around with the binoculars in his hand: "It's up to you...you can help with this task."

"Yes."

Noticing the golden hair protruding from the other side of the forest, Anbu put on the mask again, nodded to Jiraiya before the boy found her, and left here.

"The Lustful Immortal——" Naruto ran over cheerfully waving his hands, his eyes shining brightly, "I'm ready! Hurry up and start today's training!"

Jiraiya, who had just squatted down, was startled by his yelling, held up his binoculars, jumped up, puffed up his eyes, bared his teeth and put his index finger to his lips to silence him: "Shut up! What are you yelling about! We were discovered What to do!"

"Ah?" Naruto was a little puzzled, he stretched his neck to look, and found a small gap in the bush next to Jiraiya, from a distance he could see the girls playing under the waterfall over there.

"You you you—" Naruto pointed at him and jumped, "You big pervert!"

"What? I'm not a pervert." Zilai also dug his ears, then smiled sullenly, "I'm a super-super pervert!"

The birds were singing and shouting angrily with Naruto, and the forest is still very lively today.

The lower ninjas work hard every day to strengthen their special training, but the other ninjas are not in such a good mood.

The deterrent power of the three words "Oshemaru" in Konoha lasts for a long time.After so many years, it is impossible for the ninjas who have experienced that accident to forget the scenes they saw when they cleaned up the hidden laboratories built by Orochimaru in the village.They are all people who survived fighting on the battlefield. They are used to seeing life and death, and seeing all kinds of cruel scenes, but when they open the door of the Orochimaru laboratory and step in, their stomachs twitch and they feel nauseous.

The urgent preparation time passed day by day, and Anbu sent to investigate the news, and the news came back one after another. The surrounding small countries did not have any tendency to abandon the covenant, and there seemed to be no bad signs in the Kingdom of Sand.

Konoha's high-level executives still couldn't feel relieved, and secretly recalled several groups of Anbu elite teams that had been on long-term missions abroad, and even the border guards had been transferred back in batches and covertly.

The third generation stood on the roof of the Hokage Administration Building, biting a cigarette stick and looking at the previous Hokage statues in the back mountain with his hands behind his back.On the statue, he still looks young, but now his temples are gray and he has lost his former strength.And the fourth generation did not have time to grow old, and stayed in the young years forever.

Sandaimu exhaled, and turned to look at his captain of the secret guard. This man who had known him for most of his life, his eyes under the mask became cloudy at some point. Once a person gets old, even his eyes are not as sharp as before.He knew he wasn't much better.

Time is not forgiving...

Third generation shook his head and walked down the stairs to the rooftop.

Finally, a month passed, no matter whether everyone was worried or looking forward to it, the third Chunin exam came as scheduled.

In the venue for the final Chunin exam, the auditorium was noisy.Not cheering excitedly for the intense competition, but loudly protesting the postponement of Sasuke Uchiha's game.

The third generation on the main seat bit his lips tightly on the cigarette stick, and looked at Nara Shikamaru who was kicked down by Naruto Uzumaki in the arena without saying a word.He has always been optimistic about the members of the Nara family, and he also looks forward to the strength that this kid named Shikamaru is about to show.

But right now, the worries in his heart far outweighed this expectation—his dark guard leaned over and whispered the latest news in his ear, and even the Anbu sent out hadn't found Sasuke and Kakashi yet.

Third generation Yu Guang noticed the undisguised dissatisfaction of Kazekage on the left, and while maintaining a polite official smile, he secretly scolded Kakashi in his heart for infecting Sasuke with the bad habit of being late.

Tobacco could not suppress the thriving boredom in the third generation's heart. After careful consideration, he sighed in compromise, and beckoned for the dark guard to come over.

"Go to Gray Sparrow and tell her to bring Kakashi and Sasuke here immediately. Go quickly."

The dark guard responded and left immediately.

After making this decision, Sandai felt a lot more comfortable in his heart. When he returned to the arena, he found that the match between Shikamaru and the girl from Sand Ninja Village had completely attracted the attention of the audience. The commotion of protesting Uchiha's delayed appearance subsided a lot.

As expected of a child of the Nara family.Sandai grinned and exhaled a circle of smoke.

The dark guard hurried back to the ministry, asked the minister to check the personnel list, and then hurried to the east entrance.

Standing at the highest point of the east entrance wall and looking around, he finally found a woman wearing a bird-shaped mask.

That woman stayed with a few Anbes on the rooftop of the residential building to enjoy the breeze. Although he was a member of the Third Generation Anbu, he knew a lot of Anbu people well, but he had never seen these few on the rooftop.

Not surprising though.he thinks.After all, many non-staff personnel have been recalled this time.

The non-staff Anbu didn't know what they were talking about, and the debate was a little fierce. Only the woman seemed to stay out of it, leaning on the guardrail with her arms folded and listening to their argument without speaking.It may feel that the weather is a bit hot, the mask is turned halfway to the right, and the head is lowered, revealing half of the face hidden in the shadow of the backlight, which is not very real.

The dark guard wondered for a moment whether this woman could really find those two people, even the team sent earlier couldn't find them.

But the words of the third generation have always been convincing.The dark guard chose to trust his immediate superior, and there was no other way now.

"Codename Greyfinch?"

The gray bird heard the sound and looked up at him.The dark guard noticed that she had a pair of white eyes, the slightly raised eye ends looked a bit cold, and her pale skin looked sickly, as if she hadn't been exposed to the sun for a long time, which made the green curse mark on her forehead extremely conspicuous.

It's the Hinata branch, he felt relieved.The reconnaissance capabilities of the Hyuga tribe are mostly reliable and powerful.

"Urgent mission. Find Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Sasuke, and take them to the arena immediately after finding them. Within 10 minutes, whether you find them or not, please report to the third generation."

"Here's a picture of them—"

The gray bird took it in silence, the pupils under the mask shrank slightly, and only glanced at the photo before returning it to the dark guard.

"...The task that the three generations of adults entrusted to me?"

"Yes."

Seeing that she didn't move, the dark guard frowned and added: "It's an urgent task, please execute it immediately."

Grayfinch still didn't move.

Anbu on the side suddenly smiled: "Now you know you are afraid? I have advised you not to come back. We will meet you once you come back."

The dark guard is a little unclear.It's just looking for two people, it's nothing to be afraid of.

"What do you know, I don't call it 'scared'..." Gray Sparrow said to Anbu, then looked at Anwei who was still waiting aside, "Please tell the third generation, I will complete the task."

Before the words were finished, the person had already landed on the opposite roof in an instant, and after a few ups and downs, the figure was too far away to be seen.

The Anbu nodded in satisfaction. This kind of executive power is what Anbu should be like. He can go back and report to the third generation.

The ninth training ground on the cliff.

When Anbu was standing in front of Kakashi wearing a blue-patterned sparrow-shaped mask on a white background, he realized that Sasuke's match was long late, and hurriedly took Sasuke to prepare to use Flying Thunder God, and then remembered that he had come The provocative sand ninja brat.

Kakashi stepped forward and told Anbu his guess about Sand Ninja, hoping that the other party would convey it to the third generation.

He didn't forget to lower his voice to avoid Sasuke's hearing.

Hatake Kakashi also treats Sasuke like a child from the bottom of his heart.And children just think about their own affairs carefree, as for the rest, they will bear it.

Before leaving, Kakashi reminded again: "Remember to tell the third generation."

After Anbe nodded, Kakashi grabbed Sasuke's shoulder and began to sense the coordinates buried in the venue in advance. When the chakra was running, there happened to be a wind blowing, and the scattered leaves followed them away.

Anbu was still standing there, looking at the place where the two disappeared, and took a long time to look away and jumped off the cliff.

The huge venue was almost full, Kakashi brought Sasuke to the venue, scratched the back of his head and admitted his mistake to everyone with a smile.

On the way back to the stands, he paid attention all the way, took a look at the positions of his students and old friends, walked slowly with his hands in his pockets, turned his head and saw on the central rostrum, Anbe with a bird-shaped mask leaning over the third generation's ear, about Pass on the information he provided.

Kakashi was a little dazed, thinking of another old man who once had the same mask.

"How slow, Kakashi!"

Still some distance away, Akai in the front row of the stands had already spotted him keenly.Standing on his right is Xiao Li on crutches.

Kakashi raised his palms and greeted lazily: "Good morning, Akai, Li. Are you better—"

Before she finished speaking, the pink-haired girl on the right stood up with a "bass" and called him nervously, "Mr. Kakashi!"

Looking at Sakura's nervous and worried expression, Kakashi felt that he was really a bit bad.

Someone told him before that if he didn't tell the matter and he was alone, it would only make people more worried.He seemed to have forgotten this again.

"I'm sorry, you must be very worried about us... I'm sorry I haven't been in touch with you."

Kakashi was surprised to find that Sakura bit her lip and lowered her head, instead of yelling as usual.This made him feel even more guilty.

"never mind……"

He heard the little girl hugging her knees and murmuring in a low voice.

The appearance of that person suddenly appeared in Kakashi's mind again without warning.Kakashi froze for a moment.

Sakura hesitated and said, "Sasuke's neck...that scar..."

"do not worry."

Perhaps because of thinking of that person, Kakashi's voice sounded softer but also deeper than usual.

Sakura raised her head in surprise, and Kakashi gave her a reassuring smile, and the little girl finally stopped expressing her uncharacteristically sullen face full of worry.

After reassuring the students, Kakashi looked around the venue again, and after only scanning for a week, he had already had a panoramic view of the defense cloth of the entire venue.There is no Sparrow Anbe, so it seems that she is not the security guard of this venue.

"Eight Anbu." Kakashi frowned, and said to Akai in a low voice, "Two teams are really too small...Who is Hokage-sama..."

"But..." Akai also looked serious, "Since you don't know what the other party is going to do, there is nothing you can do to spread your guard."

Kakashi wanted to say something else, but the sudden cheers from the audience successfully interrupted his thoughts.

Kakashi's eyes fell back to the field, and the long-awaited Uchiha Sasuke vs. Gaara match finally officially kicked off.
