In the lush forest of the Land of Fire, a black shadow flashed by, stepped on the tree trunk, jumped several meters, and moved forward quickly. He was covered in a black robe, with a bloody white dog-head mask on his face. Blood kept flowing out of the gaps in the mask, and his injuries were serious.
There was a sound of breaking wind, and the man in the dog-head mask dodged sideways. A kunai passed by the corner of his clothes, leaving a trace of sparks in the air.
There is an explosive tag on the kunai!!
The dog-head masked man paused and quickly changed direction, but his severely injured body held him back. He was helpless against attacks that he could normally dodge. The violent explosion sent him flying, slamming him hard against a tree, and he finally fell powerlessly into the bushes.
Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—
Before he could get up, the overwhelming shurikens shot him into a hedgehog, splashing blood and dust.
Three members of the Kirigakure Anbu wearing gray-white uniforms jumped out from not far away. They wore uniform faceless masks and carried long swords. Their bodies were covered in blood and blackened, and it seemed that they had also experienced a hard battle.
After listening to Mitarai Shishao's report, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned slightly, tapped the table with his fingers, and asked after a moment: "What do you think?"

“…”
Even in the world of ninjas, those who don't care about their lives are the most terrifying.
“…”
Mitarai Shixiao was shocked again. No wonder the second-generation Hokage chose you as his successor. No wonder you are the boss and we are all his younger brothers. I really kneel down to you.
"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough!"
"Anbu without a mark... take his body away, clean up the scene, and leave immediately." Hearing his subordinates' words, the captain's tone did not change, and he secretly thought it was troublesome. His subordinates did not know the inside story because they were inexperienced. As an old Anbu veteran, the captain knew very well that there was a group of ninjas in Konoha who were not allowed to see the light, called the 'Root'. Anyone who had anything to do with this lunatic was not a good thing.
"Ahem... It's Zixiao!" Sarutobi Hiruzen felt extremely embarrassed when his subordinates saw such an ignominious scene. However, his career as a Hokage for more than 20 years was not for nothing. He had already developed an incredibly thick skin. He removed the telescope technique, straightened his clothes, wiped the saliva from the corners of his mouth, and sat upright, as if nothing had happened just now.
"Fire Style: Phoenix Fire Technique!"
Mitarai Shisho hurriedly reported the intelligence that the Anbu team had sent to Sarutobi Hiruzen without missing a single detail. If it was just a border conflict and a few ninjas died, there was no need to tell the Hokage. This kind of thing happens almost every day and there is nothing strange about it. But if there are members of the "Root" among the dead Konoha ninjas, then it is worth pondering.
Ninja fights are always very fast. The masked dog-headed man who was outnumbered alone had no chance of winning. He was stabbed to death after just a few exchanges. However, his fearless swordsmanship, which only attacked and did not defend, still inflicted several wounds on the three members of the Kirigakure Anbu.
"Zixiao, what happened? You don't look so good! You can remain calm even when faced with a catastrophe. This is the quality that the Anbu chief should have. You still need to hone your skills! Also, knock on the door next time you come in. After all, this is the Hokage's office, and there are many secrets of Konoha. You have to be cautious." Sarutobi Hiruzen criticized sternly. As the Anbu chief of Konoha, your performance makes me sad.
"Take him back, he might know something." "The identities have been confirmed, all three are from the Kirigakure Anbu, but..." another Anbu said, "There is another one who should be from our Konoha Anbu, but I can't find the unique identity mark of the Anbu on him!"
The high-temperature condensed Phoenix Fire mixed with shuriken and the extremely powerful Earth Dragon Bombs drowned the three members of the Kirigakure Anbu who were blown away by the strong wind. The precise coordination and unexpected grasp of the opportunity took away the lives of the three people in just an instant. This is how ninjas fight, fast, accurate and ruthless!
As a border patrol team, the three-person team discovered traces of Konoha ninja activities in the Land of Water during routine patrols. After a fierce pursuit, they successfully killed two Konoha Anbu who were delaying the team. With three to two, they had the advantage in numbers. Although there were no casualties, they were already at the end of their strength. Moreover, the ruthless style of the Konoha Anbu was really shocking. They would do anything to achieve their goals and were not afraid of death. The Kirigakure Anbu in the Blood Mist Village was ashamed of themselves.
"The smell of blood is too strong! Konoha's Anbu, surrender, you can't escape. If you surrender now, at least you can die quickly, unlike your companions, who were chopped into several pieces by me before they died... What a painful way to die!" said the leading Kirigakure Anbu in a deep voice, constantly increasing the psychological pressure on his opponent, intending to undermine his opponent's fighting spirit.
"Hokage, you're joking. There is something I have to tell you!" Mitarashi Shishao's face turned pale and blue. After all, he was not the shameless Third Hokage, and his world views were still being reshaped.
"I'm so... so sorry!"
"Hokage-sama!"
The dog-head masked man said nothing, tore off his black robe, revealing a tight outfit, threw the sack on his back to the ground, and took a defensive stance. In the moonlight, it could be vaguely seen that there was a child in the sack, but unfortunately the sack was bleeding, and it was obvious that he was in a critical condition. The detonating talisman did not kill the dog-head masked man, but it killed the child in the sack.
After finishing a mountain of official business, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had finally taken a break, skillfully performed his signature technique, the Telescope Technique, and decided to use the youthful vigor and vitality to cleanse his increasingly silent heart.
Three more Konoha Anbu arrived and quickly checked the battlefield and gathered intelligence.
"What a cheap trick!" The leader of the Kirigakure Anbu looked at the corpse on the ground with disdain, swung his hand and shot out a kunai, which nailed it to the big tree in front.
"Maybe it's not an ordinary Konoha Anbu..." The Kirigakure Anbu leader was not sure either. They had never seen such a Konoha ninja before. Rather than calling them ninjas, they were more like death warriors, and every move was aimed at mutual destruction.
The three members of the Kirigakure ANBU just glanced at it and stopped paying attention. They surrounded the child and prepared to fight quickly. Although they knew that the child in the sack was most likely kidnapped by the Konoha ANBU from the Land of Water, the cold-blooded Kirigakure ninjas never cared about it, even if it was a child. They had experienced too many deaths in their ninja careers and had become numb.
The big eyes looked at the small eyes, and the air froze.
The three members of the Mist Hidden Anbu who were blown away were shocked. After a long journey and several battles, their chakra was exhausted and their physical strength was not enough to hold on.
Just when the three were distracted for a moment, a hurricane hit and blew away the formation that the three had vaguely formed.
The three Kirigakure Anbu didn't waste any time, and drew their swords to fight the dog-head masked man. The three Kirigakure were in the territory of the Land of Fire, and if they were discovered, they would definitely be annihilated.
I have never seen such a shameless person! Is this guy really the Hokage? He must be fake! Mitarashi Shishao looked constipated and started to complain. I just came in without knocking. I am so sorry! As the head of the Anbu, I am not up to standard. I am so sorry! It turns out that Konoha’s secret is in the women’s bathroom. I am so unqualified.
"Oh! What is it?"
“…”
"When did Konoha's ninja become so strong?" An Anbu cut off the head of the dog-headed masked man, hurriedly treated the wound, and complained. It's not that I haven't dealt with Konoha ninjas before, but the Konoha ninjas I met this time were too cruel to me, they were simply self-harming.
"Quick victory, chop off the head and bring it back!"
The next day, in Konoha Ninja Village, in the Hokage's office.
"Earth Style: Earth Dragon Bullet!"
"Okay, considering that this is your first offense, I'll let it go this time. You're in such a hurry, what happened? You're not coming to my place for tea, are you?" Seeing that Mitarai Shishao had a deep understanding of his own shortcomings, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded with satisfaction and got to the point.
The corpse on the ground turned into a ball of mud, and the big tree in front shed a layer of bark. The man in the dog-head mask held a katana in one hand and a kunai was stuck on his shoulder.
Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen was laughing for no apparent reason and drooling all over the floor, the Anbu chief, Mitarai Shishao, came in uninvited and pushed the door open.
"I don't know."
After Mitarai Shixiao finished speaking, his eyes looked at his nose, his nose looked at his mouth, his mouth looked at his heart, and his heart looked at his second brother. I don't know anything, so don't ask me. This matter is a big deal, and it is just a small friction with Kirigakure, which is harmless. However, the person involved is not simple. He is another big boss of Konoha, the powerful Hokage assistant Shimura Danzo. This muddy water cannot be waded into.
"I understand, you can go down!" Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and fell into deep thought.
"Yes, I'll take my leave." Mitarai Shishao accepted the order and left in a very humble manner. Although the Minister of the Anbu was also a powerful figure, he was not considered a high-ranking official in Konoha, and if he tried to force his way in, he would be cannon fodder.
