"You don't have to come to Konoha Hospital tomorrow and have a good rest."
Three days have passed since the last time the shadow clone was called to the dean's office. The shadow clone, which was about to go back, once again received a somewhat unusual notification.
It is also from Kudo Yuya, and it is also related to Sarutobi Hiruzen, which makes the shadow clone feel a little speechless.
But when you think about Sarutobi Hiruzen's operations, this is not incomprehensible. The Sandaime Hokage's reputation in Konoha is still very good, and basically all ninjas think he is a good person.
Although Hongji didn't understand what was going on, he also knew that this was not something Hiruzen Sarutobi could do just by sitting in the Hokage's office.
This matter definitely has something to do with Sarutobi Hiruzen, otherwise Kudo Yuya would definitely not want to let the shadow clone, a hard worker, take a day off for no reason.
After leaving Konoha Hospital, the shadow clone walked on the way home. Compared with the time when spies were in and out of Kumogakure Village, there are very few ANBU here now.
However, the number of ANBU should increase after a while. If nothing else, graduation season is only a month and a half away.
At that time, a new batch of ninjas will graduate from the ninja school, some of them will become qualified genin, and some of them will enter other institutions.
Although there are very few people who can be selected by ANBU, there are definitely some.
But these have nothing to do with Hongji. Hongji is more concerned about the child named Uchiha Sasuke.
During this time, Hongji has been thinking about how to obtain Sasuke Uchiha's blood so as to continue his research, but so far he has not found a suitable opportunity to take action.
Although there is no one monitoring Uchiha Sasuke, there are still many dark forces outside the area where Uchiha Sasuke is active, which makes Hongji unable to find a perfect time to contact Uchiha Sasuke.
‘Naruto Uzumaki, I look forward to your performance.’
The shadow clone thought and made a decision. If there was a time when an ANBU might slightly ignore Uchiha Sasuke, then all he could think of was when Uzumaki Naruto stole the Sealed Book.
Although I don’t know how the Sealed Book was stolen by Uzumaki Naruto, this is undoubtedly a good opportunity and should be enough for Hongji to extract the blood needed for the experiment.
As for whether Uchiha Sasuke will be directly questioned, that is not within the scope of the shadow clone's thinking.
After having an idea, Hongzhi plans to improve his strength as much as possible in the next month and a half. Apart from other things, the blood inheritance limit must be raised by at least a few levels.
With the help of the shadow clone, this matter is relatively easy to solve.
In the secret laboratory, Hongzhi, who had obtained accurate information, confirmed his thoughts, and then walked directly towards the place where he originally lived under the cover of night.
Since Sarutobi Hiruzen is coming over tomorrow, Hongji still plans to receive him personally. Although Sarutobi Hiruzen cannot see the shadow clone of Breaking Limit 5, this is the first time that Hongji sees Sarutobi Hiruzen alone.
, you still have to show some respect.
Early the next morning.
Hongji, who had a rare vacation, walked out of the room and walked straight towards the back mountain of Konoha. Naturally, Hongji would not go to training, but planned to go hunting.
The precise saying is to collect ingredients and then have a good meal. Although most of the food in the secret laboratory is also solved in this way, on the surface, it is the first time for Hongzhi to enter the back mountain to relax.
As for the arrival of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Hongji pretended not to know. The entire Konoha was basically that guy's ANBU, and it was too easy to find Hongji's whereabouts.
Next to a stream, Hongzhi found firewood and quietly watched the fish swimming in the stream. After using psychic skills to channel an iron pot, Hongzhi began to prepare delicious fish soup and grilled fish.<
/p>
Hongji had a premonition that Hiruzen Sarutobi would appear when dinner was about to begin.
“It smells so good!”
Sure enough, when Hongji just smelled the fragrance, Sarutobi Hiruzen, wearing a Hokage robe, walked out of the woods behind.
Let Hongzhi understand what accurate arrival means.
"Lord Hokage..."
Regarding the "sudden" appearance of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Hongji was naturally "extremely happy". After all, this time Sarutobi Hiruzen definitely came to deliver good things.
"Do you mind giving me an extra pair of chopsticks?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded to Hongji, and then looked directly at the grilled fish and fish soup that were already ready.
"Of course I don't mind."
Hongji was a little helpless about this. Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was about to put his head into the pot, he wondered whether this guy would just run away with the original reward.
Although I felt that Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't do such a thing, since Hiruzen Sarutobi was here to deliver good things, Hongji didn't want anything to happen.
After hearing that he didn't mind, Sarutobi Hiruzen sat on a stone aside and waited for the free lunch.
During this period, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Hongji had a long chat, and the general content was about some understanding of the most powerful illusion after the Infinite Tsukuyomi - the will of fire.
Hongji recognized this very much, and chatted with Sarutobi Hiruzen very happily, but in the blink of an eye, Hongji forgot about the so-called Will of Fire.
He has studied that kind of thing a long time ago, and there is only one truth behind all the twists and turns: you can sacrifice everything for the village, even your own life.
Although it feels good, Hongji doesn't care at all. If one day in the future, Konoha stands opposite him, then Hongji will use the power gained here to make him disappear completely.
After eating, Sarutobi Hiruzen left, but before leaving, he left two things for Hongji, a note and a scroll.
The ninjutsu on the scroll is the bulk of the reward. According to Sarutobi Hiruzen, he can even pass this scroll on to people he recognizes, which makes Hongji feel a little surprised.
There was even the idea of selling the scroll directly to the black market, but Hiruzen Sarutobi would definitely not allow this to happen.
As for the scroll, Hongzhi is not interested in opening it yet, but the address recorded on the note is more interesting to Hongzhi.
That is Hongji's brand new house, which is also part of the reward. According to Sarutobi Hiruzen, it must be much better than the current living environment.
Because of this matter, Sarutobi Hiruzen even made a lot of nonsense, which made Hongji feel a little speechless.
After packing his things, Hongzhi did not continue to stay in Houshan. Since he had a new place to live, he would naturally move.
Although the important things are definitely not at home, Hongzhi still has to show off, and it is necessary to go to the new place of residence to investigate.
If there are too many dark parts nearby, it may be inconvenient to use shadow clones in the future.
But in the end, it turned out that Hongzhi had overthought things. The new place of residence was very large and was a small courtyard. Compared with the place where Hongzhi lived before, it was simply not on the same level.
From this point of view, Sarutobi Hiruzen still has his heart in mind, but unfortunately his goal is not this...
