Konoha Tatsuno

Upon hearing Tatsuno's inquiry, Kakashi's expression instantly turned gloomy.

He slowly said: "This afternoon I contacted the spy sent by the village to Kirigakure Village. We originally agreed to meet outside Kirigakure Village, but when I arrived, he had been killed!"

The Konoha spy who contacted Kakashi was named Uichi Kumate. He was an experienced special jounin who had been lurking in Kirigakure Village for more than two years.

When Kakashi arrived at the meeting place, the body of Kumate in Youshi was lying quietly on the ground, and the blood flowing from his neck had already stained the ground red.

Judging from the traces of the fight at the scene, Youshi Xiongshou was assassinated with a direct blow.

To be able to possess such excellent assassination skills, the attacker's strength must not be simple.

However, what puzzled Kakashi was that after assassinating Uichi Kumate, this man not only did not stay there to wait for his arrival, but he did not even take away Uichi Kumate's body.

Such behavior is very puzzling!

Kakashi couldn't understand the purpose of the other party's move. It couldn't be that he simply wanted to warn them.

After listening to Kakashi's narration, Tatsuno and the other three were shocked in their hearts.

The Konoha spy who had agreed to meet with Kakashi was killed, which means that Tatsuno and the others' identities may have been exposed.

For a moment, the four of them fell into silence.

After thinking and discussing to no avail, the four of them went back to their rooms to rest in groups of two.

That night, all members of ANBU Team [-] were on heightened alert.

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and in the morning three days later, the four members of ANBU Team [-] arrived at the place where they had agreed to meet.

This is an abandoned underground factory in Kirigakure Village. The dark and damp confined space is somewhat eerie and strange.

During this meeting, the four members of ANBU Team [-] still acted in two separate teams. Kakashi and Gai met in the open, while Tatsuno and Itachi responded in the dark.

The water dropped on the floor and made a constant ticking sound, making the entire abandoned underground factory even more silent.

A dim light came on, and three figures in black robes stood quietly in a room.

Kakashi and Gai entered the room, and two of the figures immediately became alert.

"Is this the letter you sent to the village asking for help?"

Looking at the black-robed figure in the middle, Kakashi asked.

"That's right! This is the letter I sent to your village asking for help. I thought there would be no big results, but I didn't expect that the Third Hokage would send such elites as you."

The leader spoke up.

Hearing this man speak, both Kakashi and Gai showed surprise in their eyes, and Tatsuno and Itachi who were hiding in the dark behind were also shocked.

This person was actually a woman, and the tone of her voice was very distinctive.

Taking another glance at the woman's figure, Long Ye instantly determined the identity of this person.

This woman is the future Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi!

"I, Konoha, have always stood for peace in the ninja world. Lord Hokage immediately summoned us to assign the task after receiving your request. Now that we have arrived, can you reveal your true identity? This will also be conducive to our cooperation." Cassie said solemnly.

"Haha, in order to cooperate, I can naturally show my identity." Terumi Mei chuckled and opened the black robe.

She has long orange hair and a beautiful face.

Looking at Mei Terumi, Kakashi was slightly surprised.

During the Third Ninja War, Terumi Mei had indeed emerged among the younger generation in Kirigakure Village. He was a genius ninja with two blood inheritance limits.

However, because Kirigakure Village is relatively the most closed among the five hidden villages, Konoha Village's knowledge of Kirigakure Village's intelligence is relatively limited.

Regarding Terumi Mei's status and power within Kirigakure Village, the outside world knows very little.

Kakashi couldn't help but have some doubts about the fact that she was involved in such a big event as the village coup.

"You two already know my identity. I wonder if you have any objections to our cooperation?"

Under the dim light, Terumi Mei had a sweet smile on her face.

Konoha Village, Uchiha Clan.

"Elder Yashiro, there is news from Tian no Country that the owner of the Mangekyo Sharingan who claims to be Uchiha Madara has appeared again. He is in the newly established Yakugakure Village."

Uchiha Hiroaki and Uchiha Yasumasa hurriedly entered the room, looking excited and said to Uchiha Yashiro, who was sitting still.

Uchiha Yashiro glanced at the two of them lightly and said nothing.

The excitement on the faces of Uchiha Yuaki and Uchiha Yasumasa immediately froze, and they immediately realized that Uchiha Yashiro had known the news in advance.

After dozens of seconds of silence, Uchiha Hiroaki couldn't help but speak again: "Elder Yashiro, please send me there this time. We must get in touch with that clan member."

"You? Last time Misuke went there, you couldn't find anyone. Do you think you can do a better job than Misuke?"

Hearing this, Uchiha Yashiro turned his head and looked at Uchiha Hiroaki, his voice neither soft nor serious.

In the past two years, the performance of these two people has become increasingly miserable.

Uchiha Yuaki heard this and opened his mouth, his face flushed slightly.

In the clan, Uchiha Misuke is an alternative among women. Her strength and ability to do things are definitely the best among the younger generation.

This woman had always kept a low profile in the past and rarely participated in clan affairs.

But two years ago, since Uchiha Misuke joined the police department, her reputation and prestige among the Uchiha clan has gradually increased, and now she has a strong influence on Uchiha Yuaki and Uchiha Yasumasa.

If Shisui, who had already activated the Mangekyō Sharingan, had not maintained a crushing advantage in combat effectiveness, Uchiha Misuke's status in the clan could have even improved.

For this reason, when Uchiha Yashiro compared him with Uchiha Misuke, Uchiha Yuaki was speechless even if he wanted to refute.

After all, the strength and performance are there.

"This time I will go to Tian Country in person. If I can save this strong man for my family, so what if I risk my life?"

After stabbing Uchiha Yuaki with words, Uchiha Yashiro turned around.

As he spoke, his eyes shone with anticipation and enthusiasm.

Leading Uchiha to seize power in Konoha Village has been the lifelong obsession of Yashiro Uchiha.

"But, I'm afraid the captain won't allow you to go out, right?"

Hearing Uchiha Yashiro's words, Uchiha Yuaki and both were shocked, and then Uchiha Yasumasa hesitated and said.

Since two years ago, although Uchiha Yashiro was still nominally the wise man of the clan and an advisory elder to the clan leader, everyone was keenly aware that Uchiha Fugaku's attitude towards Uchiha Yashiro had changed.

The eighth generation elder has lost the trust of the clan leader!

Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for Yashiro Uchiha to leave the village.

Uchiha Yashiro raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said, "Don't worry! I will convince the captain to allow me to go."

"Elder Eighth Generation, please take us with you."

Uchiha Yuaki and Uchiha Yasumasa looked at each other after hearing this, and then requested in unison.

Uchiha Yashiro's eyes swept over the two of them, nodded softly and said: "Okay!"
