The self-growth of Konoha's bastard

"Bi, be careful on the road. News just came out that there is movement from the Mist Ninja and Iwa Ninja. Konoha should also have received the information."

As soon as the Fourth Raikage finished saying this to Kirabi, he saw the Pot King leading a group of ninjas towards Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The Pot King was very sensible and did not interrupt the Third Generation's promotion of the Will of Fire. However, the students at the door couldn't help but be attracted by the Pot King who led the team to arrive.

Although the patriarchs of the big families were not as obvious as these students, judging from their inadvertent glances at the Pot King, their hearts were not as calm as they appeared.

Especially Fugaku's father, who looked at Fugaku and Mikoto with an old father expression before. After the pot king entered the scene, he immediately changed into a combination of blood chakra eyes + facial paralysis.

The Pot King naturally noticed everyone's gazes. He had an indifferent attitude towards most of the looks. However, when he saw Fugaku's father, the Pot King silently arranged a guard to block the sight of the two.

"What are you doing here..."

When the Third Generation saw the reactions of the students and clan leaders when the Pot King arrived, he knew that his will of fire was in vain today. The somewhat depressed Third Generation signaled the root ninjas around the Pot King to move away and walked to the Pot King.

"Hiruzen, Sand Ninja, and Mist Ninja are ready to attack on the road."

The Pot King stared into Sandai's eyes and directly dropped a bombshell news.

"Where did the news come from?"

The Sandaime took a deep look at the Pot Queen and immediately lowered his voice and asked back. Sakumo's ANBU did not report this kind of thing, which meant that the ANBU intelligence system he had established was once again slapped in the face by the Pot King.

"You know, the more people know the source of the news, the more dangerous it is. What's more, I won't joke with you about this kind of news." He would not say that the news came from Hanzo's people.

The Pot King paused and continued to say to the third generation, "Hiruzen, there are some things that you can't do that only I can do."

After hearing what the Pot King said, Sandai looked at him for a while. After a brief silence, he asked, "What are the specific number of people and combat effectiveness?"

"do not know."

The Pot King shook his head and explained, "There is no information about this. The only information we got is that this is a targeted operation."

"Um........"

The third generation pondered for a moment and then told the ANBU outside, "Go and call Sakumo."

Not long after the ANBU ninja disappeared, Hatake Sakumo, who took off his ANBU mask, flashed to the side of the third generation. Ignoring the pot king beside him, Sakumo asked

"Are you looking for me?"

"How many jonin are there among the ANBU in the village now?"

As the Sandaime spoke, he waved his hand behind Sakumo, indicating that it was an important topic. Seeing this, the ANBU ninjas following Sakumo immediately moved to the outside, leaving a large blank space for the three of them.

"There are 20 people who don't have missions, and there are 47 people who have missions that haven't started yet. Is the matter serious enough that we need to mobilize the ANBU jounin in the village?"

Hatake Sakumo was a little surprised.

Generally speaking, major ninja villages will not send a large number of ANBU jounin to perform tasks, because the standard configuration of an ANBU team is one jonin plus two special jonin.

If the team is composed entirely of jounin, first of all, there will be a problem of reduced authority of instructions. After all, they are all jounin. It is okay if you ignore other people's opinions once or twice. If there are too many, it will always have an impact.

The second issue is the loss of combat power.

A very important part of the ANBU mission is to detect intelligence. If someone deliberately uses a piece of information to deceive the entire Jonin team, the loss will be huge.

Although a team of three jounin is more powerful than a combination of one jounin and two special jounin, in many cases if people dare to play this trick, it means that they have enough countermeasures, and two more combatants are really needed. A taller Jonin can't actually change the situation.

Therefore, there is only one real meaning for dispatching the ANBU Jonin team, and that is that the village has encountered a problem that must be solved, and for this, the loss can be ignored.

"The three ninja villages of Iwa, Feng, and Kiri plan to attack our candidates on the road to Konoha and Kumo."

The Pot King didn't wait for Sandai's reply and immediately dropped a bombshell.

……

Hatake Sakumo stared in silence for a while, and then asked the Pot King, "In this case, it seems that Elder Danzo's roots are more suitable for this kind of action than Anbu, right?"

"I have already sent people out." The Pot King replied expressionlessly.

He knew what Hatake Sakumo meant. It meant that his headquarters, the Pot King, had neglected its duties. The spy at the root of such a major matter should have reported the news back early.

"There are not enough manpower in the root department now, and there are too many candidates. Some people must go to Yun Nin to watch," the pot king paused at this, "Now we must have this attitude."

Hatake Sakumo glanced at the third generation and found that his boss had no intention of shutting up the pot king. Hatake Sakumo nodded, indicating that the ANBU would cooperate in this matter.

"So the Anbu are going to the Kumo ninja?"

"No," the Sandai shook his head and pointed at the Konoha candidates.

"The roots over there will be responsible. I believe Danzo has explained the issues that the root ninjas need to pay attention to. When it comes to protecting the candidates, our Konoha is still the main one."

"Well, should the task level be temporary or emergency?"

"call--"

Sandai took a few puffs of cigarette, frowned, and said hesitantly, "In wartime."

……

Soon, the instructions from the two big bosses, the Third Generation and the Pot King, were conveyed to the ANBU by Sakumo. Sakumo assembled 5 jounin teams and personally led the team to set off. As soon as these candidates left Konoha, they would secretly follow them. superior.

"What did they say?"

In a small private room, two ordinary middle-aged men sat opposite each other. One of them asked the other.

"The general meaning of the lip reading is that there is an operation against the candidates on the road in the outer village. The third generation asked that guy Sakumo to send ANBU for protection. Your family should have received the news soon."

"Yeah." The man nodded.

These two people are clones who used the transformation technique. One is Naoki's father, and the other is Fugaku's father.

"Speaking of which, are those in your family with brain problems easy to deal with? How about I ask our family to apply, and you take the opportunity to transfer those difficult-to-handle guys from the security department?"

"It's not necessary now. Those people who wanted to contact Fugaku were dealt with by me a few times, and they are probably holding back now." He narrowed his eyes at this and continued.

"It's true that the Hinata family has been a little anxious recently. Hyuga Kaizan has met with Danzo several times recently."

Li nodded, "It's normal. After all, I withdrew from the decision-making meeting on behalf of our family. Since Senju and Uchiha are not here, Hinata will naturally strengthen his influence."

"After all, our Third Hokage has kept a distance from Hinata since he ascended the throne. Compared with the Hinata family, he is naturally more comfortable with calling Ino Shikacho. After all, this was the situation of the four families during the Warring States Period."

"Besides, even if the Hyuga family takes advantage of this period to create some influence in decision-making meetings, it is actually useless. Although I don't know which one of the next generation Hokage is Jiraiya or Orochimaru, these two people have a strong influence on Hinata. His attitude should not be much different from that of the third generation."

Speaking of this, Li smiled as if he remembered something, and said with some reminiscence, "What's more, you also know that the Hokage will not appear in the Hinata family, and the chance of becoming the Hokage in their family is lower than that in your family. "

"According to my second father's thinking back then, Hinata is Hinata, and this family is an important part of Konoha."
