It was ten minutes after he returned to the office of the Hokage Building. The third generation Hokage Hiruzen looked at the wall in the office that had been shattered by a fight and had a knife mark. It was the mark made by the ANBU ninja with his ninja sword.

"what happened?"

Hiruzen looked at the four ANBU ninjas who appeared in front of him and asked what exactly happened here.

"Hokage-sama, someone has stolen the information here."

The Konoha Anbu who had previously repelled the enemy replied.

"Did the enemy catch it?"

Hiruzen asked the key to the matter.

"I cut the enemy's body into two parts, but the opponent seemed to be immortal. After the body was divided into two parts, it still had strong vitality and disappeared into the ground and the wall respectively."

The Konoha Anbu quickly knelt down on one knee, bowed his head and explained to Hiruzen, and then continued: "I'm very sorry, Hokage-sama. Although I tracked him afterwards, he moved very fast in the soil and was lost after a while.

Already."

"Get up, it seems that the guy lurking here has special abilities."

His immortality, his ability to sneak into walls and floors, and his ability to throw off ANBU ninjas who were following closely behind him. Not to mention his combat ability, his stealth ability should not be underestimated.

Hiruzen walked to the desk and looked at the messy information files on the desktop. These files involved a lot of things. Because of this, Hiruzen couldn't tell what the lurker was looking for here.

Some information on the composition of the Jonin team, the missions they had taken, recent reports of the execution team, and various expired order books. Among them, Hiruzen also found a magazine with a sexy bikini girl on the cover.

"..."

Hiruzen felt embarrassed and quietly stuffed the magazine into the drawer next to him.

There is no way, as the Hokage, he is usually under too much pressure.

Even as a Hokage, he usually needs to read some colorful books to relieve physical stress.

"Hokage-sama, what should we do next?"

"It should be fine. The documents placed here are basically not the most important secrets in the village..."

But to say that these documents can be leaked to people of unknown origin at will is still harmful to the village.

But the key is that the identity and purpose of the enemy cannot be determined at present, and the actions cannot be locked. Even if it is known that this lurker is a disaster rather than a blessing for Konoha, there is actually nothing that can be done.

We can only let it go.

"Let's do this for now, and be more careful when working later."

Hiruzen did not blame these ANBU, because the ANBU guarding here were only four ninjas from one class.

The reason is that the information and documents here do not involve the real core secrets of Konoha. It would be a waste of resources to send more people, and the protection of other places will be reduced.

But unless you take some precautions, the information and documents here are not useless.

This is what makes Hiruzen strange. If he comes here for the secrets of Konoha, the information he can get from lurking here is obviously limited.

Such as extremely important ANBU member information, various research materials, forbidden techniques and secrets, etc. These are the core secrets of Konoha, and they are also kept in a more hidden place.

The ANBU ninjas guarding there are also a group of outstanding people among the ANBU. Not only are they numerous, but most of their ninjutsu are based on rare secret techniques. They are also equipped with special sensing ninjas to prevent enemies from sneaking in.

Not knowing why this lurker came, Hiruzen stopped making these unnecessary speculations.

after one day.

A cruise ship departing from the port of Rainbow Kingdom is heading towards the port of Fire Kingdom.

On the deck of this cruise ship, there are all kinds of people playing on it, or looking at the boundless blue sea.

"Lord Huozhen, it's too dangerous to show your face here. It's better to go back to your room."

Two adult male ninjas with white pupils said to the white-eyed ninja who was admiring the blue sea view on the deck.

The ninja they called the 'Fire Formation' was a handsome-looking young man who wore a Konoha ninja forehead protector on his forehead, proving his identity as a Konoha ninja.

Moreover, the pure white eyes of the three of them also make people understand the identities of the three of them - the wealthy Hinata.

The Hyuga clan is not only a wealthy ninja clan among ninjas, but a top ninja clan like them has a complicated relationship with the outside world.

This time the three of them came out purely to establish relations with the Rainbow Country and handle some business matters related to the Chamber of Commerce that have business dealings with the Hyuga clan.

Because someone with sufficient status needed to be present in person, the Hyuga clan sent Hyuga Fire Formation, a descendant of the clan, and the escorts were two special jounin from the branch of the Hyuga clan.

Although they are not real jonins, if the two of them work together, an average jounin can handle it and even defeat him.

As a ninja of the clan, Hinata Fire Formation is the strongest among the three.

Although he is only twenty years old, he is already a famous genius jounin in the Hyuga clan.

With this configuration, even if you encounter hundreds of chuunin-level enemies, you can easily escape even if you lose.

"It's okay, I just came out to relax. The family's business in the Kingdom of Rainbow has been taken care of, so don't be so nervous."

The fire formation laughed off the worries of the two Hyuga ninjas who were separated.

"Even so, as a sect..."

Seeing the boos from the fire formation, the branch ninja knew that he almost let something slip. He looked at the people around him and didn't pay attention, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"You two, don't be too respectful to me. Just be casual."

A gentle smile appeared on Huo Zhen's face.

"yes."

Although Huo Zhen, who is a clan member, said so, the two branch ninjas still did not dare to transcend their identities.

After all, the idea they have accepted since childhood is that the clan is the mainstay.

Even if you risk your life, you must ensure the safety of the clan's ninjas.

This will has been deeply embedded in their genes, and many times they will subconsciously act to protect the clan.

Huo Zhen sighed at the two people's restraint, which only aroused more suspicion.

But even if an accident occurs, with the strength of the three of them...

boom!

There was a sudden explosion, and the huge hull of the cruise ship shook violently, shaking violently on the boundless sea.

The fire formation and the two separated ninjas quickly gathered chakra on the soles of their feet, and then grabbed the railing on the side to stabilize their bodies firmly on the deck.

After the shock just now, the tourists on the deck screamed in panic, and an atmosphere of fear and confusion spread on the cruise ship.

On the blue sea, huge waves rolled up overwhelmingly, attacking the cruise ship one after another.

The cruise ship swayed on the sea and almost overturned the huge hull several times.

"What, what's going on!?"

"Looks like the road back to Konoha won't be smooth sailing."

Huo Zhen stood calmly on the deck, his eyes opened, and his gaze penetrated the waves of water and saw a dozen enemies approaching the cruise ship quickly.

"Water Release·Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"

There was a roaring sound in the air, and after the water waves, a water dragon formed by a huge amount of water rushed toward the cruise ship with a more visual impact.

Huo Zhen looked at the frightened tourists on the deck, frowned, and jumped hard into the air with his legs. Chakra was expelled from the acupuncture points of his body, and his body started to spin like a top.

"Back to the days!"

boom!

The water dragon collided with the huge chakra sphere spinning out of the fire array.

The water dragon broke out into a large amount of water and washed away the deck of the cruise ship. Several tourists were accidentally washed into the sea and shouted for help.

The fire array retreated from mid-air. Although Kaiten successfully blocked the water dragon from hitting the cruise ship and prevented the cruise ship from being sunk by the water dragon, the turbulent force hit his body. Even if Kaiten blocked most of the force, he was still

Paled face.

"Follow me, don't fight here!"

Huo Zhen knew that these enemies didn't care about the hundreds of lives on the cruise ship. Fighting here would actually put their own situation in danger.

Jump off the deck, stand on the sea and start running immediately.

"yes!"

The two separated ninjas immediately ran after the fire formation, looking at the cruise ship getting further and further away. Even if they fought, they would not reach there.

"Lord Huozhen, what are these..."

"The power of Water Release is very strong, but he doesn't look like a Kirigakure ninja in his outfit."

The clothes of these people are no different from ordinary civilians. They wear very rough linen clothes, which are not formal ninja attire.

"Dressing up?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

After Huo Zhen finished speaking, a vast white mist suddenly rolled up from the sea without any warning.
To be continued...
