"Sorry to trouble you during this time, Iruka. Don't worry about Sasuke."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Iruka with a gentle smile on his face.
Although Iruka still had a worried look on his face, he still nodded, bowed lightly to Sarutobi Hiruzen, turned and walked out of the Hokage's office.
"Now that you're here, come out."
Sarutobi Hiruzen took two puffs of cigarette, with a hint of helplessness in his voice.
"Old man, long time no see."
With a sound of awakening, Jiraiya jumped directly in through the window of the Hokage's office and said carelessly.
Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Jiraiya. There was no trace of surprise on his face. Instead, he curled his lips and said:
"You must have been in the village for almost half a month. I thought you had forgotten me, an old man."
Jiraiya chuckled, scratched his messy hair, and a serious look appeared on his face:
"I have temporarily solved Sasuke's problem. It should be Orochimaru's fault."
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and looked at Jiraiya thoughtfully: "Is there something important about your sudden return to the village this time?"
Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression, Jiraiya thought of the big toad sage's prophecy, paused slightly, and started casually:
"It's nothing. I have to come back and take a look after being away from home for so long. Besides, I think you should also know about Orochimaru sneaking into Konoha."
Speaking of this, Jiraiya glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression.
Sure enough, when he heard the words "Orochimaru", Sarutobi Hiruzen's face turned a little ugly.
Jiraiya sighed inwardly, but there was a rare hint of cruelty in his eyes.
Orochimaru, I hope it wasn't you who caused Konoha to fall into war. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!
"Orochimaru should be hiding among the candidates taking the Chunin Exam, but there are so many of them. If they were to be checked one by one, Orochimaru would probably have escaped long ago due to Orochimaru's caution."
Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head slightly, a solemn look flashed in his eyes. He had already sent ANBU personnel to search, but unfortunately there was still no result so far.
"Old man, I'm afraid there will be some trouble in Konoha during this period. You'd better make some preparations."
Jiraiya was silent for a while, then reminded Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was slightly startled, and a quiet light flashed in his eyes.
Bang! Bang!
Just then, a knock on the door came from outside the office.
"Come in." Sarutobi Hiruzen said softly.
As the door to the Hokage's office opened, Kakashi slowly walked in from the door.
"Kakashi?!"
Seeing Kakashi, Sarutobi Hiruzen had a look of surprise on his face. You must know that Kakashi has been in a coma during this period.
"Lord Hokage, Lord Jiraiya, we just woke up and there is something we need to report."
Looking at Jiraiya and Sarutobi Hiruzen in the room, Kakashi held his forehead and spoke in a serious tone.
As Kakashi spoke, the atmosphere in the entire office suddenly became solemn.
"You mean, the Mist Ninja Village is very suspicious?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen squinted his eyes, with a hint of inexplicable emotion in his tone.
Kakashi nodded and said solemnly: "Although I still haven't figured out why the Mist Ninja Village did this, the Mist Ninja Village is definitely planning something."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes flickered, he took off the pipe from his mouth and put it on the table: "I understand this matter."
Kakashi nodded, bowed slightly to Jiraiya next to him, and turned to leave.
"Jiraiya, during the Chunin Exams, Konoha's defense is temporarily left to you."
Sarutobi Hiruzen turned his head and looked at Jiraiya who was thinking deeply.
Jiraiya was stunned for a moment, then nodded, turned and walked outside the Hokage's office.
"Wait a moment, I have something for your safekeeping temporarily."
Looking at Jiraiya who was about to leave, Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to have made some kind of decision and suddenly spoke.
Not long after, the news of Moonlight Hayate's assassination spread throughout Konoha in an instant.
The entire top level of Konoha was shaken, and large numbers of ANBU began to wander throughout Konoha. Even ordinary people could see one or two figures of ANBU from time to time.
The originally peaceful Konoha began to have a complete undercurrent.
As for Danzo at the root of Konoha, shortly after Kakashi woke up, Hiruzen Sarutobi restored Danzo's restrictions on the root.
However, this does not mean much to Danzo, because the root has already been completely controlled by him.
But when Danzo found out that Jiraiya, who had just returned to Konoha, actually took over Konoha's defense.
After throwing countless things, Danzo fell into silence again, as if he were watching a play.
To Uto and Orochimaru, the death of Gekko Hayate was a signal given by the Suna Ninja.
While everyone was moving cautiously, Uto and Ranmaru were strolling around Konoha with a carefree look on their faces.
Of course, the two of them didn't do nothing. It took several days for Youto to get a general idea of Konoha's situation and find out the locations of the barriers that shrouded the entire Konoha one by one.
Fire Nation Border.
"ah!!"
A shrill scream suddenly sounded.
A bone blade was pulled out from the heart of this Konoha ninja. Kimimaro expressionlessly dropped the blood-stained bone blade on the ground and walked forward.
Whoosh!
A sound of breaking through the air sounded from behind, and a Konoha ninja suddenly jumped out from a big tree, holding a kunai and stabbed Kimimaro in the neck.
Kimimaro's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to walk forward without even looking back, as if he didn't care at all about the attack of the Konoha ninja behind him.
Just when the Konoha ninja was about to stab Kimimaro, a figure suddenly jumped out of the overlooked pool of water on the side.
boom!
Ghost Light Suigetsu held a dull knife, Kabute, and struck the ninja with a hammer, followed by a heavy muffled sound and blood splattering everywhere.
The Konoha ninja's chest was directly punched through, and his whole body was so dead that he could no longer die.
"Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect that there are quite a few Konoha ninjas here. It seems like you found something?"
Gui Deng Shuiyue shook his head slightly, showing an interesting look on his face.
Kimimaro didn't speak, and walked forward with a calm expression. Seeing this scene, Kiden Suigetsu shook his head helplessly, and said in a low voice: "It's really cold."
As the two of them walked forward, it didn't take long before several figures appeared in front of them.
Momochi Zabuza, Ringo Yuri, Haku, Chojuro, and Bubble sitting on a tree branch with a leisurely look on his face.
"You two are late!"
Momochi Zabuza looked at the two of them and said with a dissatisfied tone.
