Naruto's caged bird

Chapter 195: Who has changed?

"crunch..."

There was a restless friction sound from the sand underfoot, and the people on the road stepped one step deeper and then another...

Ahead, the mist ninja Sui Kabuto was walking weakly in the desert. After the crazy water avatar consumed the chakra, he continued to run away exhausted. Even the ninja who was used to struggling in the task felt that it was difficult to move at this time. In order to avoid the subsequent pursuit of Konoha ninjas, Sui Kabuto, who had escaped from Konoha White Fang, had to abandon the originally planned route, and then chose to take a longer detour to leave the land of Fire Country.

After giving up on the shortest way from the Country of Fire to the Country of Wind, the Grand Canyon of the Kawa Country, it seems that the only routes left to choose are two extremely long north-circuiting routes, passing through the Country of Rain, or climbing the high altitude alone. The Hengduan Mountains of the Land of Sichuan that enter the clouds...

Water Kabuto chose the latter, which was one of the reasons why a lone ninja was so exhausted at this time.

But what he didn't expect was that after he had penetrated deep into the eastern border of the Kingdom of Wind, he could still see the wandering Konoha ninja army. This forced him to once again carefully hide in the desert day and night. Until I finally saw the sand ninja camp ahead...

The Kingdom of Wind is occupied by Konoha

The Mist Ninja Sui Kabuto immediately thought with his sun-heated head. Judging from the situation on the battlefields of the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Fire at this time, it seemed that the situation was very unfavorable for the Sand Ninja. That is to say, the information he brought would be more effective

"Humph, who stipulated that information can only exist on paper?" Shuidou smiled evilly and rubbed his head that was dizzy from the blazing sun, then poured the last sip of water from the kettle on his head, and then casually Throw away that jar.

The slightly heated coolness of the water seemed to remind him of his mother country, the Kingdom of Water. While sobering up his tired spirit, he also began to sort out his vicissitudes of life. He could not let outsiders see his weak appearance at any time. Recording information in your mind without paper information is also to prevent the sand ninja from the Kingdom of Wind from killing people.

He looked at the sand ninja camp in front of him, then took out the short stick from his waist and pointed it in the air.

"Chirp~~" A handful of sparks flew out, and then a signal bomb with a light blue tail flame rose into the sky. Then it exploded with a "bang" sound, splitting into blue sparks shaped like water droplets.

The signal flares and aqua blue ripples of the Mist Ninja bloomed in the desert of the Sand Ninja in the Kingdom of Wind...

While staring at the familiar fireworks in the sky and his own masterpiece, Sui Kabuto recalled his experiences along the way. He tied the ninja forehead protector on his forehead, and then walked towards the sand ninja who was rushing in front because he came with friendship.

"Heh heh heh heh..." He smiled and looked at the sand ninja who came in a hurry.

The sand ninja who hurried over immediately stood sideways, stepped aside and raised his hand to lead a way. The leader opened his mouth and said:

"Welcome Konoha's enemies, our friends"

......

At this moment, when the enemy is in contact with the enemy, the ninjas in the east of the mainland are also separated...

The painted red fire character at the head stands like a blazing flame at the highest point of the building. At this moment, the fire in the tallest building in Konoha is raging.

"Humph, if the task is given to Gen from the beginning..." Shimura Danzo slapped the table and glared, and continued to yell at everyone present while using the topic: "...The enemy has absolutely no chance of escaping the fire. The country’s borders are under our control”

At this time, everyone in the conference room seemed unwilling to argue with Shimura Danzo, and they just selectively changed the topic to avoid...

Standing in front of the conference room table, Nara Shikamon spread out the mission map that Konoha White Fang had retrieved, which was the one that was lost in the Hokage Building. While observing, he immediately pointed at the map:

"Although the requirement of this mission is to bring back intelligence, our enemy is obviously extremely cunning. In such a situation where multiple copies of the strategic map are made, I am afraid that only by clearing out all the people who have come into contact with the Mist Ninja at the beginning of the mission can we ensure that everything is foolproof. . But when political figures from various countries are present in the Chunin Exam, it is obviously impossible to complete..."

As the adviser of the Third Hokage, Nara Shikamon truthfully analyzed the power of it. Perhaps as a Hokage, he selectively biased his words and stance towards Hatake Sakumo: "Of course, Hatake-sama also saved a chuunin and two genin with Byakugan and Sharingan. It ensured that Hinata The blood of Uchiha has not been lost..."

After seeing the partiality in the other party's words, Shimura Danzo once again angrily said: "As the person in charge of the task, it is considered dereliction of duty to lead a novice to carry out the task even though he knows that the task is dangerous."

"Well, there is indeed something derelict in one's duty." Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been listening, immediately affirmed Danzo's opinion. As the person in charge of the task, Konoha White Fang has an unshirkable responsibility after all. After confirming the punishment for the trap, he immediately looked at Hatake Sakumo and said:

"So, how do you think the failure of this mission should be handled?"

"Failure is failure... I am willing to take all the responsibilities. In addition, most of the sand ninjas who crossed the border were not solved by me..." Hatake Sakumo reported the battle situation truthfully without any moisture. Of course, at the same time, there is also the hope that through the performance, the Japanese will directly become chuunin. However, this ultimately depends on what Sarutobi Hiruzen means at this time...

Listening to Hatake Sakumo's words, he was still very unsure of Konoha White Ga's character, Mito Kadoyan. He then said in a partial tone: "Whether the intelligence is leaked or not, there will be loopholes in our defenses. This time, we also discovered many shortcomings of Konoha..."

As one of the Konoha elders who is a permanent director, Kasuna Haruya next to Mito Kadobu added: "Yes, Sarutobi's top priority at this time is to seize the time to change the defense and martial law. At the same time, he should also be wary of the Kiri ninja... .”

"Well" Sarutobi Hiruzen consulted the opinions of everyone present, and then looked at Hatake Sakumo and decided: "...Then as a punishment for failing the mission, let's suspend him for a period of time. Be sure to adjust your state. The village still needs you," the Third Hokage, who has been in power for many years, comforted him, and then continued to give orders:

"Others are seizing the time to contact the frontline teams to make up for the loopholes recently discovered in Konoha while arranging ninja martial law. It is necessary to formulate a new strategic defense plan as soon as possible." Military mobilization on a national basis cannot be achieved in a short time What is accomplished always affects the whole body.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was in a major situation, made Danzo Shimura's use of excuses come to an end. After watching Danzo leave angrily and everyone else leaving one after another, he walked to the sunset window in the conference room with his hands behind his hands, and turned his back to Hatake Sakumo, who was on temporary leave:

"Is it worth giving up the mission for three children?" At this moment, he suddenly wanted to hear Hatake Sakumo's explanation.

Looking at the back of the Hokage, Konoha White Fang said without hesitation: "They deserve it, they are Konoha's hope for the future..."

Hatake Sakumo explained in a rare way that, as he said, most of the invading ninjas did not solve it on their own. It is precisely because the disciple's strength has reached the standard that he recognizes that he may lead them to carry out dangerous missions. Although the enemy had laid out the plan in advance and was extremely cunning, when the mission started urgently at that time, it was impossible to temporarily select three other idle ninjas to form a team, and it was impossible to do better than the Hizashi three with white eyes.

"Hope" Sarutobi Hiruzen chewed on this interesting word, and he felt as if he had always kept it on his lips: "Heh heh heh... you have changed, you are no longer the one who only knows missions and the iron-blooded Konoha White Fang. "

Really? Hatake Sakumo was thinking, and after being silent for a while, he suddenly said:

"I, maybe I haven't changed all the time." He was a little confused.

"Heh heh heh..." Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly coughed and laughed after hearing Hatake Sakumo's words. Breathing in the lit cigarette bag in his hand, he looked at the setting sun and Huoying Rock outside the window, and suddenly said something inexplicable amidst laughter:

"Could it be that I have changed?" "Hmm"

Who has changed and who has not? The dense forests of the Land of Fire begin to wither in autumn, and winter is coming to Konoha...

Finally I don’t have to write about my emotions anymore, it makes my heart feel so cold...
