Naruto's caged bird

What is lost?

As Danzo Shimura asked, the top ninjas of Konoha present couldn't help but focus their attention on the Third Hokage who was being questioned. As the "strong man" of Hiruzen Sarutobi's generation who can survive to the end in the future, Danzo has his own principles of action. For the benefit of the village, Sarutobi Hiruzen would not hesitate to shout about this in public...

The enemy, who worked so hard to steal from the Hokage Building, is definitely not something simple.

The Sealed Book, the Thunder God's Sword, or...

Raising his right hand to hold the pipe in his mouth, Sarutobi Hiruzen stated to the high-ranking ninjas of Konoha present with each breath:

"What was stolen by the enemy was the strategic defense map of the Fire Country's western front." As he spat out each word, the smoke seemed to instantly gather into the Fire Country's border defense line in everyone's eyes. In the thick smoke, it almost seems like there are loopholes everywhere...

"What?" Danzo Shimura suddenly shouted loudly after hearing this. With a surprised expression, he stared closely at the ninjas present here. Then he said with a dark face: "It seems that you have been living too comfortably recently, and you made such a serious mistake."

Mito Kadeni, who already knew what information was stolen from Sarutobi, said amidst Danzo's anger: "It's too late now. What we should be thinking about at this time is the Kiri Ninja. How dare they do this?" Prepare to start a war," he said, blowing his beard and staring.

After hearing what the other party said, Nara Shimon immediately began to explain the current situation in various countries. As the Hokage's staff officer, he must clarify to everyone here the situation in various countries at this time: "Master Flame, a rebellion broke out in the Kingdom of Water a month ago. The Mist Ninja split into the radical opposition and the peaceful Water Shadow Faction. ..”

But just when he was about to continue, the captain of the intelligence organization, Yamanakayama, who suddenly interrupted, had already taken over:

"Shikamon, the intelligence has been updated during the meeting. The Mist Ninja opposition carried out an assassination operation against the inspecting Mizukage during the water festival in the Kingdom of Water. The intelligence returned showed that the life or death of the third generation Mizukage at this time was uncertain. "After that, I thought of something again and then added a sentence:

"Moreover, in this incident within the Kingdom of Water, the shadow of the Sand Ninja from the Kingdom of Wind was discovered."

Restless and peaceful, everyone wants their neighbor to be a peace-loving person. The opposition of the Mist Ninja knew that they could not get the support of neighboring Fire Country and Thunder Country. In the end, he chose to cooperate with the Kingdom of Wind, which is far away but has a corner of the country to communicate with the Kingdom of Water.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. It was precisely because of this that Future Sand Ninja Village colluded with Kirigakure Village and sacrificed the village's hero "Yakura". The two distant big countries seem to have started to have a relationship since then...

"It seems that our enemy is still unwilling to accept his defeat in the battle." Sarutobi Hiruzen was in awe.

He lit the pipe from his mouth firmly on the table. Everyone present was shocked, as if they could already feel that the war that had been dormant for nearly half a year was about to start again...

In the silence, Zhuan Xiuchun, who had been sitting peacefully, reminded him:

"Sarutobi, you should capture the enemy as soon as possible at this time and arrange for someone to notify the ninjas on the front line to change their defenses." She has no interest in power and disputes, and always helps to check for deficiencies and fill in the gaps.

"Senior Chun, the people who notified the front line of defense have already set off after discovering the situation. Moreover, changing the defense line of the entire western border of the Fire Country is not something that can be completed overnight. So the most important thing to do at this time is to retrieve the lost intelligence. ..." After hearing the other party's reminder, Nara Shikamon immediately stood up and explained.

At this moment, the most important thing is to retrieve the lost information...

Therefore, there is no need to continue to hold meetings on this issue any longer.

The third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, shouted decisively amidst Danzo Shimura's angry face.

"Hatake Sakumo"

The summoned ninja stood up straight and solemnly, and shouted solemnly and firmly:

"Fire Shadow"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the opponent's state and will at this time, and then explained his mission and arrangements: "Since you have already come into contact with the opponent, and the enemy dares to choose to use your identity to commit crimes."

The words stop here

"I will complete the mission." As he spoke, he remained motionless as he should be.

"Very good, you can allocate a group of ninja teams who are not performing important tasks at this time to assist. Then, set off as soon as possible."

After being given the due authority to perform the task, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Konoha White Fang in front of him. He saw the other party turn around the moment he handed over his hand, and walked towards and walked out of the noisy conference room. He was left as an obviously older generation to continue discussing and arguing in this conference room. But time is lost every second...

at this time

After handing over the certificate in his hand and revealing nothing during the inspection and questioning by the Konoha ninja in front of him, he walked out alone from the vermilion flame gate in the north of Fire Konoha. Then, with a natural expression, he walked to an uninhabited corner of the road. He turned quickly and disappeared down the main green parallel road.

Until, until he sensed that after repeated inspections, except for the surrounding dense primeval forest, there was no one here anymore. He took out the things in his arms, spread them on the ground and started looking through them...

The durable oilcloth was painted with various patterns, waves, mountains, and rivers... His fingers suddenly clicked on where he was at this moment. Then, draw a zigzag line on top of the movement, stopping

His fingertips stopped at an intersection in the west...

He closed it again, put the map back in his arms, and stood up.

"Comfortable Village" As the words came out, the liquid suddenly filled up in his right hand, covering his pale face like gel. "Gududu" bubbled up. Then, the thing that was torn off the other person's face and stuck to his skin began to soften and dissolve...

"thorn"

In an instant, the face that looked stiff and pale just now was torn off...

"...Weak guy, actually trying to make peace..."

"If this is leaked, peace..."

While he was talking to himself while walking, he put on his usual round glasses. The reflected red sun of sunset followed the route drawn by his fingertips that extended to the border of the Land of Fire...
