Remnant bones

——Konoha Naruto Office——

"Crack!" He slapped the scroll in his hand hard on the table.

A white-haired old man sat in front of a huge desk, took a deep breath with a pipe in his hand, and slowly exhaled a wisp of light blue smoke.On weekdays, the amiable face was expressionless, and the eyes were full of raging anger that made people tremble, and the forbearance that forced the anger, and said in a solemn and stern tone: "What do you mean by giving me these things?"

"Three generations of adults, all the elders of the Presbyterian Church unanimously made the following decision. I hope you can dispose of the above two 'betrayal' as soon as possible, so as to avoid causing greater losses to the village." Faintly came from ahead The coercion made the ninja, who was half kneeling and returning to his life not far away, break out in a cold sweat.But since this was his own task, he could only grit his teeth and repeat slowly word by word.

"...'Rebellion'?" These two words obviously became the "fuse" that detonated the emotional riots of the three generations.The kind old man who always greeted everyone with a smile on his face was obviously moved this time: "Based on these groundless guesses, you can easily judge the two captain-level Anbu as 'betrayal'!?"

Possibly, suspected, it is said... this full of uncertain vocabulary, when can it become the criminal evidence to determine whether a person has defected or not!Where are the people from the criminal investigation department? ?When did these things need to be troubled by those pampered elders to do it themselves, just for the two "little" Anbu?

"Back to the third generation, the subordinates are only following orders." Knowing that he was being treated as an object of venting, the black-clothed ninja couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.Why did I have to do such a hard job... What on earth did the elders do to make the "good old man" three generations of adults who seldom lose their temper angry like this.

He knew that he couldn't get the answer he wanted from a messenger.San Dai, who calmed down a little, frowned, and the hand holding the pipe tightened and loosened, loosened and tightened again.

In the end, I could only suppress the anger in my heart, sighed, and waved: "Forget it, you go back! Tell those elders, I will handle the matter of Anbu myself, and don't ask 'outsiders' to worry about us! Regarding the task level, please submit a written explanation to me again."

"Yes." The pressure on his body eased, the ninja breathed a sigh of relief, and without the slightest hesitation, he took the order to retreat: "This subordinate resigns." After all, he is a strong man of the shadow level, even though he is old, but he alone It's just an unintentional leakage of aura, and it's not something that an ordinary junin like him can face directly.

Watching that ninja leave, Sandai slowly closed his eyes, the wrinkles on his forehead became more and more profound because of the furrowed brows.The anger that was ready to be released before disappeared abnormally without a trace, leaving only a rare deep and calm.

"'Grizzly'." Without opening his eyes, the third generation just leaned on the chair, muttering in a low voice like talking to himself.

In the office where he was alone, the shadow by the window suddenly distorted, and a tall black figure slowly emerged.The white vest, the beast-shaped mask, and the bright red flame tattoo on the left arm should confirm the opponent's identity as "Anbu".

Anbu with short black hair knelt down on one knee and said respectfully, "My subordinate is here."

"How's the situation in the Snow Country?" For this mission, the third generation was extremely puzzled by the movement of the Snow Country.

Even if the scroll is classified, usually this type of anti-capture pursuit is carried out in secret.The Snow Country's reaction was obviously uncharacteristically undisguised, and they sent a brigade to round up them with great fanfare!And even in the report not long ago, it was claimed that someone saw the shadow of Kirinin... The secret alliance between the two countries is not a good thing for any country!

Moreover, why does the other party seem to know who the person who went to perform the mission is, or rather than chasing and returning the stolen scroll, it is better to say that he is trying to keep Anbu... Could it be that Konoha's Someone at the top revealed the confidential information in the village?

The cause and effect gradually deduced made the third generation feel a little bit bad.And at this moment, Anbu's report reached his ears, which seemed to confirm his guess even more.

"The strength of the Snow Country is still increasing, and the previously detected information about the inclusion of Mist Ninja has also been confirmed." After a short pause, the black-haired Anbu sorted out his thoughts before continuing: "In the snow Among the ninjas, there are indeed fog ninjas. Although there are not many of them, it is presumed that they are all elites of the ninja level. And Karma and Yinya, who were sent to carry out the mission, were forced to separate a few days ago After that, contact was completely severed. So far, his whereabouts have not been confirmed, and his life and death are unknown, but..."

Sure enough, a traitor appeared in the upper echelons of Konoha!

This has gone beyond the scope of the power struggle in the village, and they cannot be allowed to go on like this... Suddenly opened his eyes, the third generation who was planning to gather his subordinates to discuss countermeasures based on information, was puzzled by the hesitation of the black-haired Anbu: " But what?" Itachi and Kakashi...

"However, Xue Ren's troops are scattered to the border transition zone. According to the analysis of the strategist, it is not like a premeditated transfer of troops, but an assembly movement caused by unintentional tracking of the target." Behind the mask When he said this, his eyes lit up instantly: "Three generations of adults, Yehuo and Yinya, are probably still alive, and will soon reach the border of the Land of Fire!"

"Is that so..." For such a speculation, the third generation couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, letting go of a lot of heavy burdens in his heart.

Both he and the village owed those two children too much... Now, they still face the fate of being betrayed and abandoned by the village!He would never allow that group of outdated old antiques to interfere like this any longer!

"'Vulture', pay close attention to all those who pass through the border in the near future, and give them all the support they may need!" It was obviously too late to send people into the Snow Country to rescue them.But near the border of the Land of Fire, it's not the turn of that little Land of Snow to mess around!

What's more, as long as Mist ninja is not an idiot, it is impossible to confront Konoha ninja blatantly.Once it is confirmed that the two countries have secretly formed an alliance, "unintentionally trespassing on the national border" is small, and "deliberately forming an alliance to provoke disputes" is enough to make the two countries collectively besieged by other countries!

"Yes, this subordinate understands." There was a trace of excitement and gratitude in the deep male voice.The moment the black-haired Anbe received the order, he completely disappeared in a twisted shaking.

In the office, the original silence returned.

The jonin who did not summon his subordinates, Sandai stood up, went to the window and looked at the high parapet around the village in the distance.There is unresolved sorrow and helplessness between the brows.

No matter how luxuriant the big tree Konoha is, in the peace without the test of wind and rain, there will always be all kinds of corruption and decay... Where there are big trees, there are also shadows.The dazzling brilliance will never lack the inseparable darkness under its light.

Dangers and challenges are never far away.But the illusion of peace has obliterated the sharpness and tacit understanding of the older generation.Even for the fame and interests of some villages, the next generation who are growing up are treated as "abandoned children" at their mercy!

Obviously they are all "family"... The complex thoughts rolling in his eyes were finally calmed down by more reason.The three generations seem to have decided something secretly, their old and deep eyes revealed a rare firmness.As long as they can return to Konoha safely, he will not let anyone touch them again!

That's all, Konoha's "future"...

"Iruka, tell all the jonin to gather urgently!" Sitting back in his seat, Sandai's face was not inferior to the rigor and majesty of the past.

Hokage's identity cannot be shaken by just any elder!

——Back to the main perspective——

At noon the next day, they successfully entered the territory of the Land of Fire.

After only one night's rest, Kakashi's CKL has recovered a lot, but the sequelae of using Sharingan has not subsided for a long time.This also conformed to my previous expectation, and the shipping cost was not in vain.

However, due to the second injury and the heavy burden brought by the seal of the original blood, Itachi had a high fever since that night, and it has not improved.But because the environment at that time was not suitable for recuperation, I could only try to avoid the deterioration of the situation, wrapped him in layers of clothes to prevent him from catching cold, and hugged him with one hand on the way.

And Kakashi's luck is obviously not as good as his.Because of the difference in height and psychological conflict, asking me to hug him... don't even think about it!However, the wound on his abdomen made him unable to use the carrying posture.

So, the silver-haired uncle in a white kimono that only reached his knees was honored to be picked up by the collar by me, like a kitten, he grabbed the back of his neck and carried him back.

Because of this, I can only leap forward on the big trees, but not on the ground.

Uncle Kakashi in his hand, while complaining about his technique has improved significantly, he couldn't help but feel lucky that the mask on his face is still on, otherwise... he would definitely be ashamed to see others!

Because there is a local Kakashi as a guide, after crossing the border, Wuren and Xuenin, who did not give up, chased after them. After being tricked a few times, they were almost caught by the ninja stationed on the border of the Kingdom of Fire. .Gritting his teeth, he gave up the pursuit and returned to his own country.

I took two people with me, at an absolute speed that could even throw off an empty-handed Konoha ninja. When the evening was approaching, I saw the huge gate outside Konoha Village.

However, although I safely sent the two Anbu back to Konoha, I still encountered a little "little trouble" when I entered the village.

Almost the moment I stabilized my pace, more than a dozen black shadows surrounded me.
