Chapter 161 Who are you?
"what is going on?"
The wrinkled old face was filled with deep confusion. Sarutobi Hiruzen could not imagine the scene before him at all.
Suppressing the surprise in his heart, the old figure turned around and walked away.
Perhaps, times have really changed.
Konoha's traditional practice has always been to place a member of the opposite sex in a three-person team to inspire or spur the ninja to keep moving forward.
But now, even though it wasn't time for the class division yet, Naruto had already found his opponents and friends.
"This is also your work, Uchiha Kagetsu..."
With his eyes lowered, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a little bit of disbelief in his heart, and he became more alert than ever before.
Historically, the Uchiha clan has had almost no political talent, and the fact that the first two rebellions were easily crushed by Konoha is the most powerful proof of this.
But now, there is an outlier among the Uchiha clan, who always like to act based on emotions.
He is not happy with things, nor sad with himself. Even in such a bloody and cruel scene, one cannot see the hesitation and confusion in his eyes.
"What happened to Konoha? Why could the Uchiha clan cultivate such a cold existence? Is this a blessing or a curse? "
As the Third Hokage, he did not know how long this peace, brought about by the sacrifices of countless people, would last.
"Even if there is a reckoning in the future, I hope you won't go too far, Uchiha Kagetsu, otherwise I will risk my life and use the Fourth Hokage's technique to drag you to hell with me."
He left silently, like an invisible breeze, as if Sarutobi Hiruzen had never appeared, but buried his worries about the future of Konoha deep in his heart.
...............
Konoha, the former headquarters of the Anbu training class.
Danzo's eyes flickered as he looked at the information in his hand. He was very satisfied, yet a little regretful.
"As expected, they are the most outstanding spies in the Anbu. The Wandering Miko and the kid named Kabuto are also very outstanding..."
After saying that, Danzo shook his head slightly and handed the final order to his trusted subordinates around him, signaling them to immediately convey the message to the two people lurking in the Iwagakure Village.
The so-called spy, if used well, is like a sharp sword that pierces the enemy's heart, but if used poorly, the enemy will be injured by the blade in the opposite direction.
The wandering shrine maiden Yakushi Nonou and Yakushi Kabuto, as spies, their roles in Konoha cannot be underestimated, but the risks they take cannot be ignored either.
Therefore, in order to avoid the risk of exposure, killing both of them is the most beneficial decision for Konoha.
Danzo, who was as cunning as a fox, glanced at the photos in front of him and revealed a sinister smile.
"People's cognition is too ambiguous. If it is slightly tampered with during the growth stage, even a foster mother who is as close as a mother to her child will not be able to recognize who is in front of her."
"In the last six months, everything will be completely concluded in the Iwagakure Village. Let the decay and darkness of Konoha rot completely in Ōnoki's village and be buried there."
The figure disappeared into the darkness. Now Danzo is just a retired old ninja who will wait until the right time to step into the spotlight again and take his place.
...........
As spring passed and autumn came, the disappearance of the Uchiha clan did not cause much ripples. Apart from the scattered bits of information circulating outside, no one cared about the rise and fall of a ninja family.
Naruto and Sasuke also made rapid progress under Kazuki's guidance. The obvious hidden dangers seemed to have been completely resolved, and everything was moving in a good direction.
However, outside the Konoha Village, there is a hidden corner that no one can detect.
"Are you sure it's today?"
"That's right. The show that Danzo has been planning for many years will happen tonight. Do you want to go?"
Konan was very confused. They were just two spies under Danzo. Was it worth it for him to personally rescue them?
"Why not? They can help me in both public and private matters. Besides, you also want to settle accounts with the mastermind behind the attack on Akatsuki."
"'The right-hand man of Hanzo-sama's right-hand man, Heiji who hides from the rain', he's so smart to think of that, that guy must have been buried in some grave and is dead, hehe..."
At this moment, Xiaonan's expression was a little gloomy. When he was young, he was ignorant and trusted others without even confirming the other party's identity, which ended up putting himself in a dangerous situation.
This humiliation and hatred have always been engraved in Xiaonan's heart, waiting for the opportunity for revenge.
"Speaking of which, your skin has become whiter and smoother since you last saw the sun, Xiaonan..."
"let me go......"
Hua Yue, who was quick to accept the advice, let go of her hands and disappeared into the darkness.
"Don't be impatient. Opportunities often come when you are most relaxed. Let the darkness of Konoha settle the accounts. Just wait and see."
Silence returned to the surroundings. In the darkness, Xiaonan's eyes were dim and slightly dazed.
"Yahiko, Nagato, you must live on. One day, we will meet again. As long as you are patient, there will be hope..."
..................
That night, the moon was bright and dark clouds were floating around, adding a touch of coldness to the lonely night.
Near the Iwagakure Village, a silver-haired young man dressed in Iwagakure attire was panting. He glanced at the pursuers behind him and vaguely sensed something was wrong.
"What's going on? Why hasn't Konoha's contact person arrived yet? What happened to Danzo?"
After trying hard to calm himself down and putting a pill into his mouth, he opened the pocket watch in his hand. The gentle woman in the pocket watch soothed his broken nerves a little.
"I don't know how the director is doing now. He and Aqi should be running the orphanage better and better. I really want to go back and take a look. After this undercover mission is over, I can go home..."
The sudden change in wind direction caused Kabuto to put away the warmth in his heart, and it keenly and directly told him that there were ninjas lurking nearby.
After pondering for a moment, using the silver pocket watch in his hand as a mirror, he silently observed his surroundings.
In an instant, a black shadow flashed by, and the chakra under his feet exploded rapidly. After the dust and smoke dissipated, a fierce look flashed in Kabuto's eyes.
"Why are the pursuers so difficult this time? Are they the elite troops of the Hidden Rock Village?"
The smoke bomb in his hand flashed with fire and exploded silently in an instant. After covering the two figures, the chakra knife in his hand accurately stabbed the figure in the smoke.
With a "puff", blood splattered, and with his talent as a medical ninja, Kabuto was very sure that the invisible chakra knife had cut through the enemy's heart.
The next second, a strong wind blew up, blowing away the smoke and dust.
The hazy moonlight was exceptionally bright, falling on the two of them. Behind the old-fashioned frog-eye glasses, the smile in his eyes was completely stiff, and even his hands were shaking.
"Dean... How is it possible that so many years have passed and the dean is still carrying out that mission?"
Blood gushed out from the wound, and in a panic, Kabuto quickly laid Nonou flat on the ground.
"Dean, I will give you emergency treatment immediately. I'm sure you'll be fine!"
Under the palm magic, the light green chakra barely stopped the continuous flow of blood. Nono opened his eyes with difficulty, and the words that came out of his mouth made Dou stunned.
"Who are you?"
