Volume 1 Chapter 260 The three seek an opportunity to push Hatake Sakumo
Get lost, who cares about your Mist Village?
If you have the guts, take revenge. Don't think that we in Konoha are afraid of the Mist Village.
The envoy from the Mist Village was directly driven away because they had no idea what was going on.
As for the revenge of the Mist Village?
The Third Hokage didn't believe that the Mist Village would dare to declare war on Konoha just because of his few words.
"bump!!!"
"The Mist Village is really getting more and more arrogant, Sarutobi, are you going to let them get away with it?"
Danzo rushed over when he heard the news and started questioning the Third Hokage by slamming the table.
"Do you want me to declare war on the Mist Village?"
The Third Hokage is also furious.
What do you mean by this, Danzo?
I'm not afraid of the retaliation from the Mist Village and I just drove everyone away. Yet you still come here complaining.
Facing the angry Third Hokage, Danzo snorted and did not respond. He just turned around and glanced at Utane Koharu and Mitokado En.
The two reacted immediately, and Mitomon Yan chimed in:
"Huruzen, Danzo is right. The Mist Village is indeed becoming more and more presumptuous. They even started to threaten our Konoha with war. This is not a good sign."
"No matter what, I still think that the village has collected too little intelligence on the Mist Village. We should start preparing. Konoha cannot put itself in danger."
Koharu Utane also helped to speak up.
If only Danzo said this, the Third Hokage would probably not care.
But since Koharu Utane and Enmu Mitokado also said so, it is worth his attention.
If you think about it carefully, the village has indeed collected too little intelligence on the Mist Village.
If Qianyue had not killed the Xiguashan Puffer Demon this time and sent his body back, Konoha would not have been able to know about the recent changes in the situation in the Mist Village.
After thinking for a moment, the Third Hokage nodded and said:
"I will arrange this matter, but the person to be chosen......"
The Mist Village has been blocked for too long, and other villages are unfamiliar with everything in the Mist Village. It is not easy to spy on intelligence, and it is also quite difficult to plant spies.
"Placing spies is not ideal. The best way is to send strong people to infiltrate and collect and spy on intelligence."
At this time, Danzo suddenly spoke:
"The Kirigakure has been under blockade for too long. In addition, it is located on the sea, far away from the mainland, so the appearance of the people of the Land of Water is very different from that of the Land of Fire. The village currently needs information that can be used immediately, but sending spies is too slow."
"So we need to send strong people over there."
What Danzo said made sense, and the Third Hokage could find no fault with it.
"So who do you think is suitable to send over?"
Danzo didn't say anything, and Utane Koharu knew at a glance that they were asked to nominate so as to avoid the Third Hokage becoming suspicious.
We have known each other for decades.
They are all very familiar with each other.
If Danzo had recommended it, the Third Hokage might have had other ideas, but if she took the lead, things would become much easier.
Since they were already on the same boat, there was nothing Koharu Utane could do even if she was unwilling. She could only offer her own suggestions:
"The three ninjas are not suitable. Tsunade needs to stay in the village. The logistics department needs her. Jiraiya has already left the village and I don't know when he will return. Orochimaru..."
“Ahem!!”
The Third Hokage felt a little embarrassed when talking about his three disciples.
Orochimaru was obsessed with experimental research, and he didn't even want to take any missions, let alone spying.
The Third Hokage couldn't force him, and Tsunade had to manage the logistics department and organize the training of medical ninjas, so she couldn't leave either.
Jiraiya had already run away.
This directly resulted in three fewer suitable candidates.
"How about asking Hatake Sakumo to make a trip?"
"I agree."
Mitomon En pushed up his glasses:
"He is strong enough among the new generation, and he has rich experience in espionage. I think he will be able to complete this mission smoothly."
"If the root loss is not too great, this task can be solved by roots."
Danzo pretended to be irritated and left the Hokage's office angrily.
"this........"
Utane Koharu and Mitokado En looked embarrassed.
The Third Hokage picked up the pipe, lit it, and took two deep puffs:
"Don't worry about it. Restoring the roots cannot be done in a day or two. It requires a lot of time and money. The village cannot fully support the roots at the moment."
Never mind, it has nothing to do with us.
Anyway, they have already helped with what Danzo wanted to do, and as for the development of the Root, it has nothing to do with them.
The Root is Danzo's personal power department and has nothing to do with the Elders.
They can still give some command to the Anbu, but...don't think too much, this is a department that even the Third Hokage can't command.
Of course, this situation has not happened yet. Before the Third Hokage had a falling out with Danzo, the ninjas of the Root would still obey the orders of the Third Hokage.
However, they would report any orders from the Third Hokage to Danzo first before carrying them out.
The two-month mission time passed in a flash, and during this period the team did not encounter anyone from the Mist Village on the Fire Nation route.
After saying goodbye to the replacement team, the three of them set out on their journey home.
"Ah! It's still more comfortable to walk on land. I've been living on a boat, and I feel like I'm shaking involuntarily even when I'm fine."
While walking on the road, Sheng Shu spread his arms exaggeratedly and twisted his buttocks twice.
Chizuki and Minato decisively walked aside, they didn't want to get close to this embarrassing guy.
"I really want to smear your face a little."
Ignoring the crazy Rope Tree, Minato stared at Chitsuki's face.
After two months of exposure to the wind and sun on the sea, he and Shengshuren had become much darker.
Especially Rope Tree, his skin was originally dark, but now it has become better. At first glance, if you don’t know, you would think that this guy’s ancestral home is in the Land of Lightning, not the Land of Fire.
Minato himself got tanned, but Chitsuki was the only one who didn't change at all. She looked the same when she went out as when she came back.
I'm just not in a good mental state.
I don't want to bother with you two.
Qianyue rolled her eyes at Minato, put her hands behind her head, and walked slowly.
“Huh!”
Suddenly, Chitsuki turned her head to look at the forest on the left, and Minato became alert when he saw this.
Even the rope tree, which was breathing in deep gulps of fresh air, put on a serious face and stared at the forest.
"We are one family, don't be so nervous."
Patting their shoulders, Qianyue signaled them to relax.
"Your perception is still so strong."
Hatake Sakumo, wearing the Hokage half-sleeves, jumped down from a big tree and landed steadily in front of Chitsuki.
He gestured at Qianyue's head with his hand and said with a smile:
"Time flies. In a blink of an eye, a few years have passed and you have all grown up."
"senior."
Minato and Nawaki let down their guard and greeted respectfully.
"Senior, are you out on a mission?"
Compared to them, Qianyue seemed very casual.
Hatake Sakumo smiled and nodded.
"Yes, the village has a mission for me. I didn't expect to run into you on the road. Is the sea route stable recently?"
What mission they were carrying out was something that couldn't be told. Hatake Sakumo didn't say anything and Chitsuki had no intention of asking.
"Not bad. We haven't run into anyone from the Mist Village recently. Apparently they've been avoiding the flight path area."
"That's good."
Hatake Sakumo did not act like a senior, but instead seemed approachable:
"You must be tired after being stationed there for two months. Go back to the village and rest. I'll leave first."
