People in Konoha, equipped with Resurrection Armor at the beginning

The secret base of roots.

A root member just returned from the mission center.

He reported all the circumstances of Uchiha Cang's mission to Danzo, without missing any details.

After listening to the report, Danzo thought silently.

"Rejected the recommended mission and specifically chose a more dangerous A-level mission?"

"Is he seeking death? Or does he have a trump card that I don't know about?"

On the night of the genocide, Uchiha Itachi had appeared to warn him, but the former only saved Sasuke and said nothing to Uchiha Cang.

Danzo didn't know what Itachi was thinking, but since there was no Uchiha in the agreement, he would not be lenient.

"No matter what, you deserve to die."

He called a subordinate and said:

"Contact Rasa and ask him to send 'that team' of ninjas to Kawa no Kuni."

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen dismissed Danzo Hokage from his position as assistant to the Hokage after the night of genocide, and also disbanded the roots.

But that was largely just for outsiders to see.

Danzo still has many roots following him secretly.

Danzo is still responsible for certain shady measures in Konoha Village.

The "team" of ninjas that Danzo was talking about were the subordinates of Hayakura, the senior executive of Sunagakure Village.

This backless female ninja with the limit of the Scorch Release Blood Succession was not long ago deceived by the Fourth Kazekage Rasa to go to Kirigakure Village. She was tragically killed in a sneak attack and became a victim of political struggle.

The fourth generation Kazekage was not satisfied and regarded Luo Sha's loyal subordinates as a thorn in his flesh.

He secretly contacted Danzo and made a very shady deal with Konoha.

Basically, Danzo tacitly allowed Rasa's subordinates to sneak into the Land of Fire and let them secretly kill the "unstable" elements in Konoha.

When they are almost used, Danzo will lead his men to eliminate them.

In this way, the "thorns in the eyes" of Sunagakure Village and Konoha Village will be eliminated silently, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Danzo continued to give instructions: "Shanfeng, you lead two teams over and wait until the opportunity arises."

Shanfeng asked: "Kill them all?"

Danzo said: "Keep Uchiha alive if you can, and find the Sharingan scroll."

"If we can't stay, kill them all, including the Sand Ninja!"

Yamafaze hesitated and asked, "Where are Yuhi Kurenai and Sarutobi Asuma?"

Danzo said with an indifferent expression: "For Konoha, their sacrifice is worth it."

Shanfeng felt a chill in his heart, and then he took the order and left.

Soon after, a root ninja came to report:

"Danzo-sama, Hokage-sama please come over."

……

The three of Uchiha Cang made some preparations in the village, and then rushed to Kawa no Kuni together.

The three of them were discussing the mission information as they hurried on the road.

In the ninja world, intelligence can often be the key to victory or defeat.

Therefore, thoroughly researching the information before performing a mission is an essential skill for a qualified ninja.

"Cang, what do you think of this mission?"

Seeing that Uchiha Cang had not joined the discussion, Yuhi Hong took the initiative to ask.

Uchiha Cang said: "Your analysis is all right, but I always have a feeling that this mission may be more dangerous than imagined."

He knew that if Danzo finally caught him leaving the village, he would definitely not let him go.

Therefore, in order to avoid complicity to Yuhi Hong and the other two, he had to give a proper reminder.

Yuhi Hong agreed: "Yes! As a ninja, you must be careful at all times!"

Sarutobi Asuma did not speak.

In his opinion, there is nothing difficult about this mission, and no matter how strong the opponent is, he can't be much stronger.

Otherwise, how could you care about Hengshan Cang's mineral resources?

The heated discussion with Yuhi Kurenai just now was just to cater to girls.

What really embarrassed him was how to behave in order to win Yuhi Kurenai's heart.

At this moment, Yuhi Hong suddenly turned cold, turned around and shouted into the woods behind:

"Who is there?!"

As he finished speaking, a strange ninja appeared from the woods.

Sarutobi Asuma saw this man and stretched out his hand in front of Yuhi Kurenai: "Don't worry, he is the daimyo's subordinate and one of our own."

Yuhi Hong then put down her guard: "What's the matter?"

The ninja said to Sarutobi Asuma, "The daimyo has been summoned on an urgent mission."

Sarutobi Asuma frowned: "Do we have to go now?"

As one of the "Twelve Guardian Ninjas", he is a unit directly under the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, just like Earth Riku. The loincloth with the word "Fire" written on his waist is a symbol.

The other party replied: "The situation is urgent and there can be no delay."

Sarutobi Asuma was a little helpless.

I finally had a chance to get along with Yuhi Kurenai, but it seemed like it was about to go to waste.

Yuhi Hong said: "Since there is a mission for you, you don't have to come with us."

Sarutobi Asuma had no choice but to say "Be careful" and then left with the ninja.

Uchiha Cang watched the whole process and suddenly became more vigilant: "Are they even going to give up Yuhi Kurenai in order to deal with me?"

He didn't think it was just a coincidence that Sarutobi Asuma was called away.

Yuhi Hong didn't think too much, she said to Uchiha Cang:

"Now I am the only Jonin in the team. I will be the captain next. Do you have any objections?"

Uchiha Cang smiled and said: "How dare I have an opinion?"

Yuhi raised her red eyebrows and looked at Uchiha:

"Hey, you seem very unconvinced!"

“But it’s useless to have opinions!”

"From now until you return to Konoha Village, you are not allowed to leave my sight without my permission!"

Don't forget to worry about my safety.

Uchiha Cang's affection for Yuhi Kurenai doubled, and he said half-jokingly:

"Understood, Captain."
