Konoha: Start by unlocking the caged bird!

In the afternoon, Hinata Yuzuru found Kakashi at the agreed place on time.

Both of them were dressed as ANBU, and except for Kakashi, they still had no other teammates.

Kakashi's expression was cold. Once he entered ANBU mode, it seemed as if a switch on his body was turned on. He was exuding air-conditioning, completely different from his usual cold, but actually arrogant and lazy look.

Only Hinata Yuzuru could occasionally make him break his skills.

"The objectives of this mission are as follows."

With an indifferent expression, Kakashi left the village with him first, and then opened a map in the woods where it was confirmed to be safe.

"One Jonin and two Chuunin have defected. They may have reached an agreement with Kumogakure. Anbu companions have already locked onto his location. Our purpose is to lure the snake out of its hole."

"If Kumogakure who is responding to the target has not appeared and the target tries to leave the Country of Fire, destroy it before leaving the country."

"To be specific, when you get there, use your white eyes to judge... Do you have any doubts?"

After Kakashi finished speaking, he glanced at Hinata Yuzuru, fearing that he would say something nonsense like this mission was too dangerous and it was better to just drive people away.

Hinata Yuzuru's expression was calm and he nodded without hesitation: "No objection."

Kakashi felt uncomfortable for a moment. It was rare for Hinata Yuzuru to be so obedient.

"You don't want me to say something more to cheer up senior, right?" You don't need to guess the face under Hinata Yuzuru's mask to have that troublesome smile again.

Kakashi put away the map and pushed his mask: "Let's go."

The two walked flexibly through the woods and headed straight for the border of the Country of Fire.

Hyuga Yuzuru asked pointedly: "Are there many rebellious ninjas recently?"

"...I don't know." Kakashi answered vaguely, but it was obvious that he knew something.

Hinata Yuzuru sighed and stopped asking.

The reason why there was such a problem was because he knew that Kakashi had a special nickname in the ANBU during this period: Companion Killer.

It's not that he would attack his companions, or that he didn't care about the lives of his companions when performing tasks, but it simply meant that he was ruthless and extremely efficient when hunting down Konoha rebels.

You must know that those ninjas who can successfully defect are at least chuunin. They have dealt with and had friendships with many ninjas. When facing such people, not everyone is willing, even if they are steel-hearted ANBU. There are always those who killed Zeng Jin's companions, and there are always those who think about it, and there is still hope of catching them back and becoming partners again...

Hyuga Yuzuru has no burden for this. He has nothing to do with most ninjas.

At the moment, the situation in Konoha is not optimistic. The nine-tailed helpers are still young, while the jinchūriki of Kumogakure and Iwagakure are in their prime.

The relationship between the three parties is already on thin ice. If you are not careful, it will easily lead to an imbalance in the situation between them. Once a rebel nin brings some important information, Kumogakure or Iwagakure will most likely use it to launch an attack, causing Mu Ye suffered heavy losses.

Hyuga Yuzuru's purpose is to delay as much time as possible so that he can possess at least one S-level unique secret technique, so that he can have an ability close to the Kage level, so that he can confidently solve the current chaos of the Hyuga clan.

The longer Konoha's stalemate with Iwagakure and Kumogakure lasts, the more time he has.

Once the problems within the Hyuga clan are resolved, the next step will be easy to say. Whether it is being targeted by Konoha and having to do something big, or keeping secret and waiting for the opportunity, the initiative will fall into the hands of Yuzuru Hyuga.

Therefore, it was naturally his duty to prevent the rebels from leaking important information.

The two of them rushed through the forest, and several days passed by.

After arriving at the border of the Land of Fire, Kakashi skillfully followed the marks left by the ANBU and led him to the location of the joint.

The four masked ANBU had obviously been waiting for a long time.

"The target is temporarily hiding in this village. We judge that he is waiting for his target to appear. Our preliminary guess is that the target is most likely Kumogakure's side."

The masks of these four Anbu were quite eye-catching, but it was obviously not the first time Kakashi had dealt with them.

"Understood." Kakashi nodded to indicate that he understood the task.

The ANBU were still exchanging intelligence details with Kakashi, but Hyuga Yuzuru opened his eyes and carefully observed the house in the village where the ANBU identified as the traitorous ninja.

"Kakashi, do you know the information about the traitorous ninja, mainly about the jounin?"

Hinata Yuzuru suddenly asked.

Kakashi did not hesitate: "Common ninja Mato Kosuke is good at fire escape and wind escape. He has the talent to independently use wind escape and fire escape compound ninjutsu. The mission record is 10 S-level missions, 112 A-level missions, and 400 B-level missions. ......."

"Taijutsu is average, and the amount of chakra is excellent among jounin."

The moment the words fell, shocking words came from under the mask of Hyuga Yuzuru: "He ran away. There are only two chunin-level chakras and one genin's chakra in the house."

"Do it, keep alive!" The ANBU on the side made a quick decision and ran straight to the cabin in a flash.

Kakashi didn't have time to think too much, so he headed straight to the cabin. Hyuga Yuzuru was thoughtful, but he trailed half a step behind without leaving a trace. He looked around with his eyes and then was the last one to arrive at the cabin.

At this time, the two Konoha rebels in the wooden house had been subdued. Faced with the surprise attack by the elite ANBU organization, they barely had time to react before being severely injured.

Originally, what Hyuga Yuzuru observed was that the chakra of the third chuunin level was none other than the shadow clone left by Kosuke Matou!

An ANBU wearing a Tengu mask grabbed a Chuunin by the collar and angrily shouted, "Where is Kosuke Matou?"

"No, I don't know..." The chuunin vomited blood and looked desperate: "Why, why do you want to catch up..."

Several Anbu made eye contact for a moment and realized the seriousness of the problem.

They followed a few people before entering the village, but they never thought that Jonin Matou Kosuke, who defected with two chuunin, would use his shadow clone to deceive everyone's judgment at some point, and even the people in the house. This shadow clone may have been disguised by these chunin using shadow clones and transformation techniques.

"He can't run far away! The shadow clone can't last so long!"

"Tell me, is there anything unusual..."

Before an ANBU finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed.

Just looking at the chest of the Konoha rebel who was grabbed by the collar, there was a faint smell of burning smoke.

It's a detonating talisman!

"Back to the days!"

Hyuga Yuzuru's teleportation technique was like a flash of light. He crossed the short distance of a few meters in an instant and stood between the rebel ninja and the Konoha ninja. The huge chakra vortex rushed the rebel ninja away in an instant. He also rushed his own people out of the room.

Several Anbu were thrown away in embarrassment, and the next moment the explosion wave exploded. The huge impact blew the wooden house to pieces. In the flying dust, only a blue chakra vortex was firm in it. It rotated and resisted the most deadly explosion wave.

Released and returned to the sky, Hinata Yuzuru held his breath and jumped up from the dust and smoke.

Several ANBU ninjas nodded gratefully to him, but did not say anything more at this moment.

"Let's go! I know where it is!"

An ANBU suddenly spoke, and the next moment, everyone followed him without hesitation and ran out of the village.

In this small village on the border of the Land of Fire, some people did not realize what had happened. They only heard the sound of explosions. The next moment, they saw several ninjas dressed as ANBU disappearing near the village, leaving only the holes left by the explosions. It's terrifying.

Hyuga Yuzuru first kept the queue moving forward quickly. At the moment when the ANBU who was leading the way seemed to look back casually, he realized something from the perspective of Byakugan and slowed down slightly. Kakashi, although he didn't know why, was already used to forming with him. Kakashi, who was moving in line, still slowed down.

Hinata Yuzuru stared at the backs of the two Anbu and made slight gestures with his fingers.

One of Kakashi's exposed eyes looked solemn. The next moment, he opened the mask. On the mask, the other Sharingan Magatama slowly rotated, and his fingers also made several gestures at his side.

The two briefly communicated in sign language for a few times, looked at each other, and nodded.

Then, Kakashi suddenly said: "Who was the ANBU responsible for observing the movements of these rebel ninjas?"

Almost the moment the question was asked.

"Fire Escape Dragon Fire Technique!"

"Wind Escape Great Breakthrough!"

An ANBU in the queue suddenly turned around and formed seals very quickly. He saw the flames being mixed by the strong wind, and then the overwhelming sea of ​​​​fire was mixed by the strong wind.

At the same time, the Anbu who was responsible for leading the way suddenly waved the Kodachi and thrust the knife into the heart of his unprepared companion.

"It's a trap!"

"Whoosh! Bang!" A firework also rose into the sky at the moment when the ANBU suddenly turned against him and killed his own people.

Kakashi's expression changed: "Be careful of Kumogakure!"

Hinata Yuzuru nodded, his face under the mask equally solemn: "Quick victory!"

No need to talk much.

At this time, the two parties were already fighting in a massacre.
