054. Where did the attacker come from?

PreviousBack to directoryNext
For Hyugazo, who has collected forehead protectors from the five major ninja villages, forehead protectors cannot explain everything.

He could even use more forehead protectors from the ninja village. As the saying goes, a soldier never tires of deceit. It is basic common sense for genin to use what forehead protector in which area. It can avoid unnecessary troubles, and of course, it is also vulnerable to attacks by ninjas from the same village.

Having said that, the atmosphere within the envoys has changed slightly.

They were about to leave the country of Earth as envoys, but were attacked by Iwagakure Village, which made some people panic for a while.

Fortunately, the Yondaime came out and gave a few words of encouragement, and the atmosphere of the team returned to normal and they continued to move towards Iwagakure Village.

It was early in the morning when they were attacked by the 'Iwa Ninja'. At noon, the delegation arrived at the small town on the border of the Land of Fire.

Leaving here and walking for dozens of kilometers, you will reach the border between the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Fire.

After replenishing the corresponding materials, it was approaching dusk, and the envoys stopped in this small town to prepare for the night.

Upon hearing the arrival of the Hokage, local officials warmly received him. Although the officials and the ninja village belonged to different systems of the Country of Fire, the Hokage was still the leader of the Fire Country's military group, second only to the daimyo.

The hotel arranged by the officials was bustling, and the envoys were eating hot meals in the hotel.

The miserable Anbu could only hide in the dark and eat quietly to replenish their physical strength.

Looking at the lights opposite, Kakashi squatted on the tree and took out the soldier's grain pill wrapped in white cloth and swallowed it coldly.

As an ANBU, you have to endure loneliness and endure suffering. This is the true ANBU ninja.

Hyugazo disagreed with this statement. Although he could not make a fire to cook, he had brought other food to satisfy his hunger.

Zongzi, or salted egg yolk meat zongzi!

After handing the rice dumpling to Uchibo and using fire escape to heat it, Hinata Zou bit into the rice dumpling, revealing the inner parts of pork belly and salted egg yolk, and the fragrance lingered on his lips and teeth.

Kakashi froze on the spot. Even though it was not his first time forming a team, he still couldn't accept the reality.

It's unreasonable why people can live in ANBU as if they were on vacation.

Fortunately, there are many unreasonable things in the ninja world. Since Oton and Zou have eaten, they can't do without their share.

At this moment, Jiraiya appeared behind the ANBU team, took away the rice dumpling handed out by Hyugazo, and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

"It's delicious, do you have any more?" Jiraiya looked at Hinata Zou and Yin with a smile.

"You are a Sannin, is this really a good thing?" Uchibo secretly thought in his heart.

Hinata Zang couldn't help but said: "Jiraiya-sama, you should not be in this place right now. Shouldn't you be collecting materials?"

"Um..." Jiraiya knew clearly what Hinata Zou was talking about, showed sympathy in his eyes, and said seriously: "We are on a mission now, and I will not collect materials during the mission.

Besides, there is no material available in this small town..."

The second half of Jiraiya's words was very quiet, but it got into the ears of the ANBU team and was heard clearly.

Kakashi knew that Jiraiya was a best-selling author and had written many books discussing the career of a ninja, and he looked forward to it.

Hinata Zang looked at Jiraiya with slight contempt and peeped at the old man in the bathhouse. No wonder he didn't have a girlfriend.

As for Yu Zhibo, her face was full of confusion. She didn't know the meaning of the ingredients and silently heated other rice dumplings.

After the silence resolved the embarrassment, Jiraiya blushed and became serious: "Kakashi, Zang, Yin, the enemies appeared again this morning. What is certain is that they are not Iwa ninjas or Sunagakure people.

…”

"Could it be someone from the root?" Hyugazo wanted to ask, but he didn't say it.

He is not an idiot at all. No matter how stupid Danzo is, he will not rashly start a war. In addition to being stupid, Danzo is also a qualified hawk in the village, but his actions are too extreme.

"Do we need to take action? Lord Jiraiya." Kakashi asked.

Jiraiya shook his head slightly: "Minato has already gone to deal with the enemy. With his speed, he should be able to get all the information he wants..."

"The Fourth Master actually took action himself..." Hinata Zang was unexpectedly happy, as long as he didn't have to take action, everything would be fine.

"Then Jiraiya-sama, what should we do now...?"

"You just need to guard outside Minato's room. Minato doesn't want to be found out by others." After a pause, Jiraiya explained: "Minato is now the Hokage."

As the leader of a village, the Hokage must not risk his life, otherwise, if he dies, it will cause chaos in the village.

To be able to successfully send an envoy to the Kingdom of Earth this time, the fourth generation also spent a lot of effort to convince the advisory board of elders.

This is partly because the fourth generation mastered the Flying Thunder God technique, and it is also related to the fact that the third generation Hokage is still alive.

The ANBU team nodded lightly, and without too much nonsense, went to carry out the task of protecting the 'Hokage'.

Watching the team members leave, Jiraiya's smile gradually deteriorated. Although bathhouses in the town were not available, there were many poor women in need of help in this border town.

Although he wanted to keep Tsunade safe, he also needed to help these poor women and drink together.

Before the ANBU team disappeared completely, Jiraiya's eyes were locked on Hinata Zou.

He must have made a mistake that day. The similarity between the other person and himself was definitely not the old snake skin, but something else.

Is it because the other party's appearance is close to that of Minato, just a hair behind him?

There are still traces of that faint natural energy...but the Hyuga family has no means of absorbing natural energy.

Maybe it was his own misunderstanding, maybe that energy came from the ninja sword Samehada.



The corner of the room.

Hinata and Nene were hiding in the shadows, while Kakashi shouldered the heavy responsibility of pretending to be Hokage and lay on the tatami.

It was comfortable to lie down and sleep, but if someone wanted to assassinate the Hokage, Kakashi would be the first to be attacked and become the target of the attack, without any room for turning.

Hinata Zou and Yin focused on safety, not momentary comfort, even though they were back-to-back.

"We will enter the Land of Earth tomorrow. Do you think we will encounter enemy attacks again...for example, attacks from Iwa ninjas?" Uchibo asked, writing on the ground with his fingers.

Hinagazou shook his head and wrote with the same finger, "Probably not. The village and Sunagakure have formed an alliance. Iwagakure is still going through the battle with Kumogakure. Iwagakure has no qualifications to continue fighting. He will definitely sign the agreement successfully..."

"As for the content of those agreements, the people in the mission should have a headache."

"Yes." Uchibo nodded slightly and said next to Hinata Zang's ear.

She no longer wanted to experience war. Even though as an Anbu, she could no longer escape the war, peacetime was always much better than wartime.

Maybe they can even quit ANBU.
