Chapter 182 I, the dry persimmon ghost, is the highest level of the fog hidden!
Metkai nodded and bowed to apologize...
He just kicked his savior and the Kirigakure messenger away, interrupting their battle practice. This incident made him feel very guilty.
After hearing their original intention to fight, Metkai's eyes lit up along with his teeth: "If it's about practicing physical skills, please allow me to join in!"
"Please allow me to refuse!"
Itachi Uchiha waved his hand quickly, ignoring the dark blue beast: "I haven't reached the point where I can fight against Kai-senpai..."
Metkai: "..."
Kisame Kisaki put on his own clothes and tied up Samehada, then looked at Metkai and asked doubtfully: "Is he the one Mr. Kitahara mentioned...the strongest man in Konoha?"
"The title of the Strongest Man..." Metkai suddenly raised his head and gave a thumbs up: "Great!"
Dried persimmon Kisame: "..."
This "strongest" certainly does not mean the strongest IQ!
With a watermelon head and a green training uniform, one could tell at first glance that this person's IQ was definitely not high. He was probably similar to the group of little brothers in Kirigakure Village who were fooled by Senju Tobirama into not being able to recognize themselves...
But just now, when both he and Itachi were on guard, this man's speed was too fast, and he kicked both of them away with just one kick...
"What's wrong, Senior Kai?"
"Ha, I almost forgot!" Metkai lowered his head, looked at Uchiha Itachi and said solemnly: "Hokage-sama wants to see you for something!"
In addition to sending Metkai to stop their battle, the Third Hokage did have other important matters. After the old man and Jiraiya discussed it, they agreed to Terumi Mei's proposal yesterday afternoon...
However, Terumi Mei has been sent away by Hatake Kakashi.
This is really burning the bridge...
In the Hokage's office, besides Jiraiya, there was another ninja who was not a stranger, and one of them was a powerful enemy that he had encountered in the Chunin Exam.
Yamato.
Ever since Sarutobi Hiruzen took Yamato from Danzo and transferred him to the ANBU, Yamato's ninja quality and execution ability have always been noticed by Sarutobi Hiruzen.
After experiencing the baptism of the will of fire, it is obvious that this Wooden ninja is qualified to become the confidant of the Third Hokage.
It wasn't until Kisame arrived at the Hokage Tower that he learned about Terumi Mei's proposal to form a joint investigation team. He was a little dizzy... That woman Terumi Mei actually followed Senju Tobirama's idea and issued an initiative to Konoha!
To be honest, this thing seems to be beneficial to Kirigakure Village...
But can that woman’s brain think carefully?
The Konohagakure family has a big business. With just a few swipes, they can pull out many Kage 1 level ninjas. What about their Kirigakure Village?
At present, apart from him and Terumi Mei, how many others can do it?
What's more, the pursuit of Orochimaru and the [Akatsuki] organization has always been initiated by Senju Tobirama. Isn't he doing this because Orochimaru is the most likely to attack Konoha!
This woman is really a marriage minded...
However, this move is quite in line with Iniki Kakisame's little thoughts...
Thinking about it carefully, he would have the opportunity to perform a mission together with Itachi Uchiha, and have Kitahara as a backup force... In addition, investigation and pursuit was always a long-term job, so he could take the opportunity to skip work for a while.
In fact, there is absolutely no problem with Terumi Mei's considerations. After Kirigakure Village has been in conflict with the [Akatsuki] organization, Kirigakure Village urgently needs to change the current situation.
One is to collect intelligence from Orochimaru and the [Akatsuki] organization to ensure that they have enough intelligence before the next conflict breaks out. In this way, sending a Kirigakure ninja can also supervise Konoha not to do anything with the intelligence information.
The second is to take the opportunity to attract the attention of Orochimaru and the [Akatsuki] organization, so that Konoha can take more actions, so as to prevent those people from the [Akatsuki] organization from thinking about going to Kirigakure Village, and those S-level traitors will go to the Kingdom of Water for a walk if they have nothing to do.
It's really unbearable.
After everyone has arrived.
The Third Hokage was the first to speak: "We have agreed to your village's proposal to set up a joint investigation team, and out of consideration for the situation in Kirigakure Village, Konoha will give priority to sending three ninjas with strong combat power or special abilities...
"
"Ha, thank you so much, Hokage-sama..." Kisame Mikigaki chuckled, and then said seriously: "Then Kirigakure Village will temporarily send a ninja... Let me do it!"
Uchiha Itachi: "..."
As expected, given Kisame's status and character, this guy would definitely not discuss with Kirigakure's senior management, and would probably just send him himself.
It is impossible for Sarutobi Hiruzen to refute. He also has some information about Kirigakure's weirdo. This shark-faced man is very powerful and he is also pro-Konoha from his actions...
The old man put his hands together on the table, glanced at the people in the office, and said in a deep voice: "Itachi Uchiha! Metkai! Yamato!"
"exist!"
"Then you and the Kirigakure messenger will form a joint investigation team to carry out the mission of hunting down Orochimaru and hunting down the [Akatsuki] organization!"
As the person who knows the [Akatsuki] organization best in the office, Uchiha Itachi suddenly asked: "Hokage-sama, does our investigation mission have a definite time period?"
So far, both the Konoha ANBU and the Kirigakure ANBU have found traces of many members of the [Akatsuki] organization. Those group of rebellious ninjas are also out to make money...
The problem is, if this reconnaissance mission is to be carried out until Orochimaru and the [Akatsuki] organization are destroyed, judging from the strength and ability of the members of the [Akatsuki] organization to escape, they can complete this mission and get Sasuke married and have a daughter...
If the Third Hokage doesn't give a specific time period for carrying out the task, it is estimated that by then they will all be filling the grave of the Third Hokage...
Sarutobi Hiruzen took out his pipe from the drawer and started smoking. He was also thinking about this problem...
Before, Konoha lost a lot of ANBU to obtain part of Orochimaru's information. Until now, it has not grasped the traces of the rebellious disciple, let alone found out Orochimaru's specific purpose of forming the [Akatsuki] organization.
"How about this!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was indeed Tobirama's most valued disciple, and he immediately came up with a brilliant idea: "I will inform the senior management of Kirigakure Village about this matter, and our two villages will jointly discuss a specific action time and rules.
…”
Dried persimmon Kisame: "..."
Although Sarutobi Hiruzen seems to respect the attitude of Kirigakure's senior management... but it always sounds like he is passing the buck!
The most powerful high-level personnel in Kirigakure Village are present at the scene!
Iniki Kaki Kisame expressed his opinion bluntly: "Let's do it! Then based on the information obtained as a cycle, the investigation team will freely decide whether to continue the mission..."
"…good."
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded. If anyone in the village or in the reconnaissance team is dissatisfied, this is also the suggestion of Kirigakure Village and has nothing to do with him.
In addition, there is one more thing that needs to be determined.
"As for the captain of the joint investigation team..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at everyone in the office. In fact, Kisame Kisaki from Kirigakure Village was the most suitable candidate. Unfortunately, he was from another village...
To be honest, if Danzo Shimura had not received the news that he wanted to join this team and seize the command of this team, he would not have decided on the candidate in such a hurry.
The old man regretted letting Kakashi Hatake give it away...
"Let Itachi-kun take charge!"
Kisame Kisaki grinned, revealing a mouth full of shark teeth.
