Naruto Caged Bird

() Chapter 195: Who changed?

"Crunch...!"

There was a restless rubbing sound from the sand under their feet, and the passers-by had a deep foot and a shallow foot...

Ahead, Wu Renshuidou was walking weakly in the desert. After the crazy water body consumed the chakra, he continued to escape exhaustedly. Even the ninja who was used to struggling in the task felt difficult at this time. In order to avoid the subsequent Konoha ninja pursuit, Shuidou, who had escaped from Konoha Baiya, had to abandon the originally planned route, and then chose to take a longer detour to leave the Land of Fire.

After giving up the country of fire and going to the country of wind, the shortest passage to the Grand Canyon of the country of the wind, it seems that there are only two routes left to choose - take the ultra-long journey northward through the country of rain, or climb the high mountain alone The Hengduan Mountains of the River Country that plunge into the clouds...

Shui Dou 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 into the east of the Kingdom of Wind, he could still see the wandering Konoha Ninja Army. This made him have to cautiously go out at night in the desert again. Until I finally saw the sand ninja camp ahead...

The territory of the Kingdom of Wind is occupied by Konoha?

Mizudou immediately thought with his sun-drenched head, judging from the situation on the battlefield between the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire at this time, it seems that the situation is very unfavorable for Sand Ninja! That is to say—the information you bring will be more effective!

"Hmph! Who stipulated that information can only exist on paper?" Smiling Shuidou rubbed his head, which was dizzy from the scorching sun, and poured the last sip of water from the kettle on his head, Then throw away the jar casually.

The slightly warm coolness of the water seemed to remind him of his mother country, the Land of Water. While waking up his exhausted spirit, he also began to tidy up his vicissitudes of appearance - a ninja, and at no time should he let outsiders see his weak appearance. And to record the information in the brain instead of paper information is also to prevent the land of wind sand from killing donkeys.

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

"Chirp~~" A handful of sparks flew out, and then a signal flare with a light blue tail flame rose into the sky. Then it exploded with a "bang", splitting out blue sparks in the shape of water droplets!

Mist ninja's signal flare, water blue ripple! At this time, it blooms in the desert of Sand Ninja in the Kingdom of Wind...

While staring at the familiar fireworks in the sky and his own masterpiece, Shuidou recalled his experience along the way. He fastened the ninja forehead protector in front of his forehead, and then walked towards Sand Nin who hurried forward—because he came here with friendship!

"Heh heh heh..." He smiled, looking at Sand Shinobi who rushed over.

Sand Shinobi, who came in a hurry, immediately stood sideways, moved out of the way and raised his hand to lead a way. One of the leaders opened his mouth and said:

"Welcome—Konoha's enemy, our friend!"

 …

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

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

"Hmph, if the task is given to Gen from the beginning..." Danzo Shimura slapped the table and stared, and continued to shout at everyone present while using the excuse: "...the enemy, there is no way to escape The border of the Land of Fire is under our control!"

At this time, the people in the meeting room seemed unwilling to argue with Shimura Danzo, but selectively changed the topic to avoid...

Standing in front of the conference room table, Nara Shikamon spread out the mission map Konoha Shirato retrieved, which was the one lost by Hokage Building. He was observing, then pointed to the map and said:

"Although the requirement of this mission is to bring back information, our enemy is obviously very cunning. In the case of duplicating multiple copies of the strategic map, I am afraid that only by clearing up all the people who have been in contact with Mist Ninja at the beginning of the mission can it be foolproof. But it is obviously impossible to complete when there are dignitaries from various countries in the Zhongnin Exam..."

As the staff officer of the Third Hokage, Nara Kamon truthfully analyzed the power of it. Perhaps as a Naruto faction, he selectively biased his words and position towards Sakumo Hatake: "Of course, Master Hatake also saved a Chunin and two Genin with white eyes and sharing eyes respectively. To ensure that Hinata The bloodline with Uchiha has not been lost..."

After seeing that the other party's words were evasive, Shimura Danzo was angry again: "Hmph! As the task leader, it is considered dereliction of duty to lead a novice to carry out the task even though he knows the task is dangerous."

"Well, there is indeed a dereliction of duty!" Hiruzaru Sarutobi, who had been listening all the time, immediately affirmed Danzo's opinion. As the person in charge of the task, Konoha Shirato has an unshirkable responsibility after all. After being punished, he immediately looked at Sakumo Hatake 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 a trace of moisture. Of course, at the same time, there is also hope that the daily difference can be directly piled up as a Chunin through the record. However, this ultimately depends on what Sarutobi Hiruzen means at this time...

Hearing Hatake Sakumo's words, he was still very unsure of Konoha Shirato's character Mitomonyan. He immediately said in a partial way: "Regardless of whether the information is leaked or not, the loopholes in our defenses will be there! This time, we also discovered many deficiencies in Konoha..."

As one of the permanent directors, Elder Konoha, Mitomonyan's bedtime Koharu also added in foil: "Yes, Sarutobi! The most urgent thing at this time is to change the defense and martial law as soon as possible. At the same time, we should also be on guard against Mist Ninja. ..”

"Hmm!" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Sakumo Hatake and decided after consulting everyone present, "...Then as a punishment for mission failure, let's suspend the job for a while. Be sure to adjust your state , the village still needs you!" The third Hokage, who has been in power for many years, said to comfort him, and then continued to give orders:

"Others take the time to contact the frontline teams, and while arranging the martial law of the ninjas, make up for the loopholes that Konoha discovered recently. It is necessary to formulate a new strategic defense plan as soon as possible." The military mobilization of the country as a unit did not happen in a short time What can be accomplished always affects the whole body.

Sarutobi's slashing of big events into small ones made Shimura Danzo's excuses come to an end without a problem. After watching Danzo leave angrily and everyone left one after another, he walked to the sunset window in the conference room with his hands behind his back, turned his back to Sakumo Hatake who was temporarily on vacation, and said:

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

Looking at Hokage's back, Konoha Baiya said without hesitation: "It's worth it! They are Konoha's future hope..."

Hatake Sakumo rarely explained that, as he said, most of the invading ninjas were not resolved by themselves. It is precisely because the strength of the disciples has reached the standard recognized by him that he may break the rules and lead them to carry out dangerous tasks. Although the enemy had planned ahead of time and was extremely cunning, when the mission started urgently at that time, it was impossible to temporarily select three other ninjas who were free to form a team, and it was impossible to do better than the trio with supercilious eyes!

"Hope?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi chewed on this interesting word ~www.NovelMTL.com~ He felt as if he had been talking about it all the time: "Hehehe...you have changed, you are no longer the only one I know the mission and Iron Blood Konoha White Fang!"

Yeah? Hatake Sakumo thought about it, and after being silent for a while, he suddenly said:

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

"Heh heh heh...!" Sarutobi Hiruzen who heard Hatake Sakumo's words suddenly coughed and laughed. Breathing the lit cigarette pipe in his hand, he looked at the setting sun and Hokage Rock outside the window, and suddenly said something inexplicably amidst laughter:

"Could it be that I have changed? Huh?", "Yeah!"

Who has changed? Who hasn't changed? The dense forests of the Land of Fire begin to wither in autumn, and the leaves—winter is coming...
