Konoha's Peerless Peerless

Chapter 121 The Unknown Darkness

As night fell, the cold wind was blowing, and the forest was rattling by the cold wind. On the avenue in the forest, the carriage carrying Hiruzaru Sarutobi was galloping here at a high speed.

Not far in front of them was the village where Arashi and Sasuke were staying.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been searching with chakra along the way, had already sensed Arashi's presence when he was approaching the village, and he and Sasuke are now approaching here.

Sensing Arashi approaching here, Sarutobi Hiruzen got up and got out of the carriage.

Kakashi, who was sitting on the side of the car, saw Hiruzaru Sarutobi coming out, and asked, "Master Hokage, do you have any orders?"

"Kakashi, have you sensed that Arashi is approaching here with Sasuke?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked directly at the big slope in front of him.

"Huh?" Kakashi frowned, and then moved the chakra. As soon as he moved it, he sensed a group of chakra full of vitality and a group of weak chakra.

They are now on the big slope.

Kakashi raised his head and cast his eyes on Dapo.

As soon as he threw it over, he saw Lan and Sasuke standing on the top of the slope. They were wearing white robes, and the corners of the robes were swaying in the wind.

When Kakashi saw Lan, the ninjas guarding around also saw Lan. As soon as they saw Lan, they held Kunai and jumped in front of the carriage to protect the carriage firmly.

Seeing that his own people were vigilant, Hiruzaru Sarutobi jumped off the carriage, waved his hand to signal them to put away Kunai, and then led Kakashi straight to the top of the slope.

After walking for a while, they came to Lan.

Standing on the top of the slope, Hiruzaru Sarutobi first sized up Sasuke who had a cold expression, and then turned his gaze to Arashi who was expressionless.

He looked at Lan, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

While he was looking at Lan, Lan was also looking at him. Seeing that he opened his mouth and remained silent, Lan said, "Since you are here, I am relieved."

After all, Lan was about to take back his energy to release the wooden clone, and when Lan raised his hand to seal, Hiruzaru Sarutobi stretched out his hand and shouted: "Wait."

Lan's hand stopped in mid-air, he looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen suspiciously, not knowing what he was going to do.

Just when Lan was puzzled, Hiruzaru Sarutobi turned his face and said to Kakashi: "You take Sasuke back to the carriage first, I want to talk to Lan alone."

After Kakashi got close to Arashi, he had already figured out Arashi clearly. This is just a clone, and it is also a wooden clone with very little chakra left. Such a clone will not pose a threat to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

So, Kakashi nodded and led Sasuke, who was a bit reluctant, to walk down. When he walked away, Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked directly at Lan and asked, "Where is your body now?"

"Huh? Why are you asking this?" Lan asked suspiciously.

"Nothing to do, just curious, don't worry, I won't tell others."

"In a cave in the Land of Fire." Lan replied.

"Is it in the cave..." Hiruzaru Sarutobi closed his eyes, picked up Chakra and moved forward, he wanted to see where Arashi was.

He closed his eyes and searched for a long time, but he didn't feel anything. He frowned and opened his eyes. He took a deep look at Lan, and then asked, "What is your strength now?"

"I don't know." Lan narrowed his eyes and shook his head.

"Unclear?" Ri Zhan frowned, then looked at Lan and sighed, "Are you resenting me?"

"No, you think too much. I never hated you. If it wasn't for you, maybe I would have died long ago." Lan replied calmly.

"Lan... To be honest, I can't see through you. I don't know what you're thinking. You are like a mystery to me."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi stared deeply at Lan.

"Is it a mystery..." Lan murmured to himself, and then said with a smile, "Why do you want to see through me? I'm just a person struggling desperately for survival."

"Struggling desperately for survival?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi narrowed his eyes, and he asked, "Isn't your current strength enough to survive? What are you wary of?"

Lan looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen calmly, shook his head and said: "Not enough, the world you and I see are different, there are some things you don't know, but I know, with my current strength, I can barely survive, I don't want to I am at the mercy of others, so I need stronger strength, there are too many darkness in the ninja world, all of which require me to be vigilant, and my nerves cannot be relaxed at all."

"Since you can't relax, why don't you go back to Konoha, Konoha can protect you, your master is after all..." Hiruzaru Sarutobi said eagerly.

"Master Hokage, do you think Konoha can really protect me? Heh~" Lan sneered.

"..." Hiruzaru Sarutobi fell silent, Konoha might not be able to bear what Lan did, and even the pressure from nobles and daimyos could make him give up Lan.

"Alas—" Hiruzaru Sarutobi sighed, then looked at Lan and asked, "How is the first-generation lord doing?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen him for a while." Lan shook his head.

"Is that so..." Hiruzaru Sarutobi muttered to himself, then raised his head to look at the bright moon and asked, "What do you think about Uchiha's matter?"

"It doesn't matter what I think, what matters is what you think, that's your Konoha's business, it has nothing to do with me, but I think you're a bit cruel." Lan shook his head.

"Are you a bit ruthless?" Yuan Fei closed his eyes and turned around, he sighed, and then said: "Some things are difficult to do, but you have to do it, if you don't be ruthless, the injured will be Konoha."

"Maybe, who knows." Lan said indifferently.

"Yeah, who knows, things have become like this, no matter how much I think about it, it won't help. The most important thing now is to calm down the situation."

Ri Zhan talked to himself for a while, then opened his eyes and turned to look at Lan and asked, "Do you know Xiao Organization?"

"I know." Lan nodded and asked, "Why are you asking this?"

"The Akatsuki organization sent people to contact Itachi. One of them called himself Madara Uchiha. I wonder if he is..."

"No, the real Uchiha Madara died a long time ago. If you want to see him, I can summon him for you. Of course you have to pay." Lan shrugged.

"Oh? How much?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi asked with interest.

As soon as Lan heard about money, a smile appeared on Lan's face, he grinned, and then stretched his fingers and said, "500 billion."

"..." Hiruzaru Sarutobi's face darkened in an instant, he looked at Lan with a twitch, then waved his hands and snorted coldly: "500 billion, where did I get 500 billion, it's impossible, it's too much. "

"Well, I know that's the case." Lan shook his head helplessly, and then said, "Actually, there is another way for you to see Uchiha Madara."

"What means?"

"The art of reincarnation in the dirty soil, you can go to Orochimaru, I think as long as you provide the corresponding things, he will be happy to summon it for you." Lan Xie smiled.

"Oshemaru..." Hiruzaru Sarutobi's eyes became cloudy, he lowered his head and sighed, and then asked, "Have you communicated with him?"

"Not yet, but that will happen sooner or later." Lan reminded: "I forgot to tell you, he is also in the Xiao organization now."

"Huh? Is he also dawning..."

For a moment, Hiruzaru Sarutobi suddenly felt that Akatsuki had become troublesome. Although he didn't understand Akatsuki's organization, he knew Orochimaru, his most cherished apprentice.

If there is no accident, Orochimaru's strength should be about the same as him now. With such power, why would Orochimaru stay in that organization? Maybe that organization has some ulterior secrets.

Ri Zhan frowned, then looked at Lan and said, "What else do you know about Xiao?"

"I know a lot, but why should I tell you, Hokage-sama, you may have forgotten that I am still Konoha Rebel." Smiling at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Hearing this, Ri Zhan frowned, lowered his head and sighed: "I can't do anything about this..."

"I know." Lan waved his hand to stop Hirazan who was about to speak, then turned to look at Yue and said, "Master Hokage, the ninja world is no longer what it used to be, and some things that have disappeared are slowly appearing. It won't be long before a big war will come to this world, and everyone will be involved in this war."

"Huh? What do you mean? Could it be that the Akatsuki organization is planning to trigger a war in the ninja world?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi asked suspiciously.

"I don't know, maybe it's him, maybe it's me, maybe it's someone else, anyway, the ninja world will not be peaceful." Lan said mysteriously.

Listening to Lan's words, Hiruzaru Sarutobi's frown became deeper and deeper.

Seeing that Hiruzaru Sarutobi's brows were about to frown together, Lan grinned.

Chakra was about to run out, and the wooden clone was on the verge of collapse. Lan's skin turned into wood chips, and the fragmented wood chips fell down one by one.

When it falls to the ground, the wood chip breaks into sawdust.

Seeing the change in the wooden clone, Hiruzaru Sarutobi asked suspiciously: "What are you?"

"The chakra I left in this clone has been exhausted, don't be fooled by the enemy in front of you, the real enemy is still lurking in the darkness..."

After talking with a smile, the wooden avatar turned into sawdust and was blown away by the wind.

Looking at the sawdust all over the sky, Hiruzaru Sarutobi narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself: "What is the real enemy referring to? This damned guy didn't even finish his sentence, and he didn't know that he learned from that bastard."

After cursing secretly, Hiruzaru Sarutobi turned around and walked down the slope.

When Kakashi saw Hirizhan coming back, he stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter, did he say anything?"

As soon as Kakashi mentioned Arashi, Hiruzaru Sarutobi became angry, he snorted angrily, shook his head and said, "That damned little bastard forcibly dispersed Chakra and ran away after saying a lot of inexplicable things. I don’t know what to say, hey, forget it, let’s not talk, let’s go back to Konoha first, we have to stabilize the situation first.”

"Well, if this is the case, let's continue on our way." Kakashi nodded, and then got into the carriage with Hiru Sarutobi.

The carriage started again, and under the moonlight, a black figure went straight into the soil after watching the carriage disappear.
