Feiduan picked up the spear and stabbed his thigh.

"Ah... ki moji~ (so comfortable)" Feiduan looked like he was enjoying it.

But Dilu, who was standing next to him, was bleeding from his thigh and screaming miserably.

Seeing Dilu staggering and falling to the ground with blood gushing out, the monks behind him became nervous.

"Comfortable! So comfortable! Come again!" Feiduan said as he stabbed his other thigh with the spear.

"Ahhhhh!" Dilu's shrill roar resounded throughout the Fire Temple. Such pain was too cruel for a person.

"ki moji (so comfortable)~ Jiaxinsama (Evil God), hehehe! ki moji~ (so comfortable)"

Dilu's screams resounded throughout the temple, making everyone around him tremble with fear.

"It's this kind of sound. If you come a little more, you can wake me up!"

Crack! Feiduan stabbed his abdomen.

"Ahahahaha~ That's the feeling, Master Evil God!"

"You like to hear such screams, too!"

An hour passed.

Kane was almost asleep with her chin supported by one hand. She stumbled and almost fell.

The Fire Temple in front of her had become a ruin, surrounded by the bodies of monks.

Hidan was lying on the ground, and a spear pierced through his chest, causing blood to flow from the corners of Hidan's mouth.

"It's done."

"After we finish praying, let's go to the next place." Hidan said softly.

Kakuzu, who was sitting next to Kanon and looking at the bounty booklet, stood up and carried the lifeless and stiff body of Dilu on his back.

"No, I'm going to take this guy's body to the gold exchange office."

Kakuzu grabbed Dilu's body and carried him behind him.

"Money is the most important thing." Kakuzu smiled with narrowed eyes.

"It seems that this job is done." Hana came over and patted Dilu's face.

"You were so arrogant just now, you can't smile now." Hana made a face at Dilu.

Feiduan also sat up from the formation at this time.

"I say, can I get angry with you once? Really!"

"No." Hana raised the corner of her mouth slightly and looked behind a wooden board.

Sure enough, behind the board, there was a monk hiding, and he was relieved when he saw the trio preparing to leave.

"I have to notify Konoha..."

As a result, just as he was about to leave, he found Hana's figure in front of him.

"Oh? There is still one left."

"Ah!!" The monk screamed when Hana discovered him, and his legs were shaking with fear.

"Hey, I say, Kakuzu brother, Feidu brother, what should we do with him?"

"I'm not interested in the weak, but letting him go seems to expose our whereabouts." Hana said.

"I'm not interested in people without a bounty, you guys deal with it yourself."

"Then leave it to Brother Hidan." Hanaon said and left with Kakuzu, leaving Hidan standing there looking at this person.

"I...I..."

"Are you willing to join the evil god cult, monk?"

"I am willing! As long as you forgive me, I'm willing to do anything!"

"Okay, then I'll forgive you, remember to report to the evil god cult in the country of soup in a few days."

Hidan didn't think much about it, and caught up with Hanaon and Kakuzu who had already walked far ahead.

Seeing that Hidan was so easy to fool, the monk was also a little confused, but he was also very sharp and disappeared here in an instant.

After Hidan walked up, Hanaon asked him.

"Did you kill that guy?"

"No, that person said he wanted to join the evil god cult, so I let him go."

"What?!" Hanaon was stunned, Hidan actually let that guy go!

"Didn't you hear clearly?"

"You... Brother Hidan... You! That was obviously a lie to you!!!"

Kane sighed helplessly.

"Eh?! That bastard actually lied to me?!" Hidan, who had come to his senses, was also stunned.

"Everyone has already run far away, Brother Kakuzu, what should we do now that our whereabouts have been exposed?"

"A bunch of guys with no money, let's talk about it after we go to the gold exchange."

"That's fine..." Kanon was helpless. One of these two people was too stupid, and the other didn't care about anything other than money, which made Kanon quite helpless.

"Never mind, I'm too lazy to think, let's go first." Hidan stretched.

"The Land of Fire is very big, let's go slowly." Kakuzu muttered.

"Sure enough, we have only caught one tailed beast now, and we are far behind others, all because of you!" Hidan complained and took out the spear from his chest.

"It hurts... so much!"

"Wait! Kakuzu, little Kanon!"

"Damn it!!!"

Another two days passed.

Kakuzu said to Hidan who was standing next to him."It's your turn to carry him now."

"Hey, hey, this isn't your and Kanon's bounty target. You're the ones who have been clamoring for money! Why do you want me to carry him?"

"Just carry him to the end. Didn't you say it was an important bounty?"

Kakuzu just stared at Hidan.

"What? You look like you don't want any trouble."

"One day I'll kill you myself." Kakuzu said dissatisfiedly.

"Forget it. Is it your turn to say that? Kakuzu."

"How about letting me take it for a while?" Kanon asked.

"You're a girl, still growing up. Let Kakuzu and I do this kind of hard work." Hidan patted his chest and said.

"Okay, okay." Kanon helplessly spread her hands and walked towards the gold exchange in the Land of Fire.

......

At this time, Asuma was playing shogi with Shikamaru again.

"Checkmate!"

"Ah! Lost again." Asuma helplessly covered his head.

"Teacher, you have to take out the money for the next work meeting."

"Okay."

"Shikamaru, if Konoha ninjas are compared to chess pieces, Shikamaru, you are Keima, who can jump and walk without sticking to the rules."

"What about the teacher?" Shikamaru asked.

"I am nothing...just..." Asuma smiled and put a chess piece on Keima's path.

"Sacrificed chess piece?" Shikamaru said unintentionally, and took Keima and ate the chess piece Asuma played.

"Then, you know what jade means."

"Hokage." Shikamaru was stunned for a while and gave his answer.

"Not long ago, I thought so too."

"But it's not the case."

"What does it mean?" Shikamaru asked.

Asuma exhaled a puff of smoke, and his thoughts returned to the past. Although he had completed the task perfectly at that time, the sacrifice of his comrades also made people sigh at the cruelty of war.

Young Asuma half-knelt in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen, the third Hokage. Why did he still shake his head after completing the mission?

"As you said, I have protected the jade!"

"I protected the daimyo"

"Why don't you recognize me!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked up at Asuma.

"Jade..."

"Can't you give me a little recognition, Dad!"

"You don't understand at all! How difficult and important the war to protect the jade is!"

"I know there have been sacrifices, but the mission of a ninja is always accompanied by sacrifice."

Sarutobi Hiruzen snorted coldly.

"You still can't understand the true meaning of protecting the jade now."

"You just simply don't want to recognize me!" With that, the young Asuma broke out of the door.

Back to the present, after many years, he finally understood what he said back then.

"You will know when the time comes." On the chessboard, Asuma's expression was thoughtful, and finally he smiled lightly, keeping Shikamaru in suspense.

......

At the entrance of Konoha Village, Gang Zitie and Shen Yue Izumo were a little absent-minded, looking at the monks coming from afar.

"That is..."

The Hokage's office.

"Really? Even Di Lu..." Tsunade looked a little solemn.

"I happened to be out on patrol, and when I came back, it was already..."

"I was also discovered by the people of [Akatsuki], and I almost died..."

Listening to the process described by the monk, Shizune and Tsunade frowned.

Because this action has traces of Uchiha Kanon again.

"That guy joined [Akatsuki] and is really helping this organization." Tsunade frowned and said.

"I'm afraid those guys from Akatsuki are searching for places in the Land of Fire where Jinchūriki may exist."

"Finally they're here."

Tsunade took a deep breath. Ever since Naruto failed in his last mission, Kanon's hatred for Konoha has been beyond words. Even if it was the fault of Danzo and other Konoha high-level officials, Tsunade couldn't let Kanon and other members of Akatsuki do whatever they want.

"We can't let them escape from the Land of Fire."

"Contact the newly formed 20 teams immediately."

Ten minutes later, 20 ninjas stood side by side on the roof of the Hokage's office.

After Tsunade explained the whole story, she said loudly to everyone: "That's all."

"Does anyone have any questions?"

Asuma, who was standing in the front, asked at this moment: "There should be Dilu, who was originally one of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas. How is he now?"

Tsunade was silent. The monk of the Fire Temple standing next to him bowed his head and said regretfully: "Master Dilu was killed by them."

"He died."

As soon as these words came out, Asuma's expression was stunned, and his pupils shrank suddenly. He and Dilu, who were both Twelve Guardian Ninjas, were just...They are very good friends.

Asuma's body trembled at this moment, recalling the time when he fought side by side with Jilu.

Even that Jilu was... How is it possible!

Shikamaru behind him seemed to see that something was wrong with Asuma, and frowned.

Seeing Asuma silent at this moment, Tsunade also announced her order.

"Even if it means risking Konoha's prestige! The most important thing is to protect the safety of the Land of Fire!"

"We can't let those guys from Akatsuki do whatever they want."

"Although I want to find out their purpose, they are all masters."

"We must not let them escape from the Land of Fire!"

"We must find them! If we can't capture them alive, we will execute them on the spot."

"Go, disperse!"
