Hokage: The little fox picked up by the Hatake family

"Tsk, where can these children hide? The second team has already finished searching in the north."

A hoarse male voice sounded in the quiet forest.

The male voice responded with a deep female voice: "I don't know, those Rain Ninja Village ninjas are also useless. They can kill several people and still let one person escape."

"Let's look for it first. We still have a lot of time at the moment. There are people guarding the edge of the barrier. Although the forest is so big, it will take so long to find him." The hoarse male voice spoke again.

"Well, let's go to the south. If we go over here, we'll reach the border. There's no signal on the border right now, so it probably means there's no way to get there." The female voice finished.

The sound of branches being trampled came again overhead.

When the sound disappeared, Yuu wanted to get up, but was pinned down by Zaoji beside him.

Yu was stunned for a moment, then realized and broke into a cold sweat.

They didn't leave!

As soon as this idea came to mind, after waiting for a few minutes, there was indeed another sound above my head.

"No. [-], you are overthinking. There is no one here." The female voice spoke calmly, but somehow she could still hear some blame.

"It's good to have an extra eye. If there really is someone, what we said just now can lead them out. However, it seems that there is really no one now." The hoarse male voice was not angry, and just narrated calmly.

"Now that the investigation here is over, let's first..."

Before he finished speaking, a colored signal bomb shot straight into the sky in the distance, and then the colored light illuminated half of the forest.

"Damn it! Who lit the flare!" The female voice sounded angrily.

"Go over there quickly! We must have caught someone!" The hoarse male voice was also a little anxious.

The four little ones lay in the bushes, listening to the sounds above them gradually disappear.

After the sound completely disappeared and the light of the flare disappeared, the four little ones crawled out.

"Zhao Ji, we can't go to the border." Xing's face showed anxiety and worry.

Chen and Yuu also looked at Zao Ji who was thinking about it.

At this moment, several people no longer have time to think about why Zaoji is different from usual. Now they have regarded Zaoji as their backbone.

"Go to the location where the flare was just sent. I suspect it was one of your parents who sent it." Zaoji looked up at the location of the flare: "Moreover, with such a dazzling flare, we don't need to hide until dawn, but we still need to Hold on until the Sandaime brings someone here."

The three of them nodded together, but with sad looks on their faces. From what the two ninjas just said, it was easy to understand that their parents were dead.

I just don't know who the one who escaped is, but in this situation, the three little ones can't be too sad. They need to find a way to survive.

Live until the Sandaime arrives with his people.

Naruto Office

"tanuki."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was wearing a red Hokage uniform, a Hokage hat on his head, and his face was terrifyingly cold while holding a pipe in his mouth.

"My subordinate is here!" An ANBU wearing a tanuki mask appeared instantly.

"Assemble teams [-], [-], and [-] to go to the barrier forest! Send someone to call Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jiraiya! Be quick!"

"Yes!"

The civet cat disappeared instantly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen opened the door and left the office quickly.

Danzo, this time, you went too far.

……

enchanted forest

Kisaragi Shinto covered his injured arm and looked at the ninjas surrounding him.

Some of them were ninjas covered in black tights and a white overalls, while the other part were unfamiliar ninjas without forehead protectors.

Kisaragi Shinto looked at the ninjas without masks, the joy and excitement on their faces, and a few slightly relieved ninjas.

Thinking about it, they probably wouldn't have been caught earlier.

Otherwise, these ninjas would definitely threaten them with Saaki and the others.

He had done his best, touching a flare from a slain masked ninja and lighting it up, even though it would give away his location.

Thus facing most of the ninjas, he had no regrets, as long as he could attract the attention of the Sandaime in advance and make sure that Saaki and the others were not caught.

So, what he did was successful.

Kisaragi Shinto numbly killed the ninjas that rushed up one after another, avoiding the attacks of various ninjutsu.

The replenishment of star energy cannot keep up with the consumption.

The cultivation system of the Kisaragi clan is similar to that of Star Eye owners in a sense, but the star energy supplement of the cultivation system cannot compare with the abnormal energy supplement of Star Eye owners.

As long as the owner of the Star Eyes does not seek death by opening the Star Shield and confronting others, no one can hurt the owner of the Star Eyes, even if the owner of the Star Eyes has not grown up yet.

Kisaragi Shinto didn't know what was going on with Saki and the others right now. He could only carefully dodge the attacks of ninjutsu, as well as the attacks of various wakaru and shurikens.

He killed many ninjas, but it was a drop in the bucket.

He doesn't have star eyes, and he's not the strongest.

There was already a lot of blood on his body, both his own and that of his enemies.

"Father..." Yuu, who was hiding in the dark, bit his lip tightly, staring with red eyes at Kisaragi Shinto, who had another wound on his body.

Xing Yuchen also bit his lip and stared at the besieged Kisaragi Shinto with red eyes. He could only watch the wounds being added to his body one after another, but he was unable to do anything.

Compared to the other three's emotions at this time, Zaoki seemed particularly calm.

She is calculating.

Calculate the time it takes for the Sandaime to see the signal flare, gather people, and rush here.

Suddenly, the masked ninjas who were besieging Kisaragi Arata stopped their movements one after another, and then quickly picked up the bodies of their companions and retreated.

Before the group of Rain Ninja Village ninjas could react, during this period, Kisaragi Shinto killed several more ninjas.

The ninjas of the Rain Ninja Village had no time to think about the alliance's retreat before they rejoined the fight with Kisaragi Arata.

It was just one person, but it caused them serious losses. At this time, many ninjas in the Rain Ninja Village had no intention of capturing alive and just wanted to kill the person in front of them. They had already avenged the death of their companions, and there were only a dozen or so people killed by one person. Human shame.

"Here we come." Saaki whispered.

Her voice was so low that even Xing, who was hiding next to her, couldn't hear her clearly.

However, she also understood that the Sandaime had brought people.

She was about to go out and help Kisaragi Arata, but Saaki grabbed her hard.

In Xing's confusion, Zaoji took the three people away from here.

Return to the cave where she used to hide the medicine.

"Don't show up until all the ninjas leave. There are some pills buried in the deepest part of the cave. Those can relieve hunger." Saaki looked at the three of them and said seriously.

"Why?" Chen was a little confused.

And Star understood.

She looked at Zaoji, her seven-year-old sister, and said tremblingly: "This is what Uncle Shin Dou meant, right?"

The affirmation in those words made Yu and Chen stare closely at Zao Ji.

The expression on Zaoki's face did not change and remained very calm: "He wants you to leave here and leave the prison of Konoha."

Xing bit his lip, trying not to let the tears fall in his eyes.

"Hide well and wait for me. I will find a way to send you out. Now, you must be dead."

After Zao Ji finished speaking, he left in a hurry.

Xing casually wiped the unshed tears from his eyes, took Chen and Yu into hiding, and used fallen branches to cover the entrance of the cave just like before.

At this moment, she must protect her brothers and wait for Zaoji's return!
