Konoha Tatsuno

Chapter 72 Task Assignment



swoosh~

In the evening, in the woods shrouded in darkness, the figures of Aburame Ryoma and the painted-faced ninja kept flashing and dancing in the forest.

"If we leave like this, will they go on a mission?"

While leaping, the painted-faced ninja who was supported by Aburame Ryoma spoke out.

"Will do"

Aburame Ryoma nodded in affirmation.

"Are you so sure?"

The ninja with the painted face was a little surprised.

"Among the four members of ANBU Team [-], the loyalty of Kakashi, Shisui and Gai is unquestionable, and they will not disobey the village's orders.

As for Akimichi Tatsuno, if he still wants to stay in Konoha, he will not make an unwise choice," Aburame Ryoma said calmly.

"You have great confidence in them. Didn't the brats of the Akidao clan use to be the tail end of the crane? Why did they suddenly become so strong?"

Hearing this, the ninja with the painted face was silent for a long time before saying bitterly.

Aburame Ryoma's voice paused for a moment as she said, "His situation is somewhat special, and Danzo-sama is still observing him!"

"Special? Humph! Such ninjas who disobey Danzo-sama's management should be eliminated!" The voice of the ninja with a painted face was filled with hatred.

Obviously, the previous embarrassing incident had already made him hate Tatsuno.

Aburame Ryoma was silent after hearing this.

Compared to Tatsuno, Aburame Ryoma paid more attention to Uchiha Shisui.

The strength of this young genius of the Uchiha clan is really terrifying!

He controlled the painted-faced ninja with just one glance. Such strength was already at the top of Konoha Village.

And he is only 14 years old!

The emergence of such a person in the Uchiha clan is not a good thing for the village and Danzo-sama.

I hope this mission can lead to his death!

Perhaps this is also one of Danzo-sama’s purposes!

It's just a pity for Kakashi and Gai!

With countless thoughts in their hearts, the two figures gradually moved away.

"Ah! That's great! Tatsuno-kun, this is youth!"

In the cave, as soon as Tatsuno agreed to go with him, Kai immediately came to his side, slapped Tatsuno hard on the shoulder, showed his white teeth and made a thumbs up gesture.

"roll!"

Tatsuno almost staggered when he was photographed, and complained angrily.

Being scolded, Kai didn't take it seriously and was still beaming.

On the side, Kakashi and Shisui didn't say anything, but they looked at Tatsuno with a little more recognition.

"Okay! Let's discuss the task allocation. Time is urgent and we must act as soon as possible!"

After Tatsuno and Gai joked for a while, Kakashi greeted the three of them to discuss task allocation.

The conflicts between the five major ninja villages are never isolated.

More than nine months ago, when Kumogakure launched a surprise attack on Konoha, Iwagakure reacted immediately after receiving the news, hoarding a large number of ninja troops in the southern border area of ​​Earth Country, and posed a threat to Konoha at any time. The look of Ye or Kumogakure launching an attack.

This is like a sword of Damocles, hanging over the heads of the two families at any time.

Iwagakure's posture weakened the scale of the war between Konoha and Kumogakure to some extent, so that the two hidden villages had to be constantly on guard against sneak attacks by Iwagakure.

However, as the war continued, the strength of Konoha and Kumogakure had been depleted a lot.

Now, there are already signs that Iwagakure is ready to move.

The Land of Fire is located in the land of four wars and is the closest to the Land of Earth. If Iwagakure decides to launch a sneak attack, its target will most likely be Konoha.

Compared with the Kingdom of Thunder in the remote northwest, it is obviously easier to achieve results by raiding the Kingdom of Fire.

For this reason, the third generation who got the information could not wait to end the battle with Kumogakure.

Although the raid mission order this time was conveyed from the root, it was also approved by the Hokage's office.

Konoha Village, which had just experienced the Nine-Tails Rebellion, could no longer withstand the two-sided attack from Kumogakure and Iwagakure.

"I'll take the lead!"

Kai was the first to stand up, his eyes flashing with a fiery light, and his whole body was full of energy.

"No! This time there are too many enemies than us. We can't do it in a big way. We have to sneak in first!"

Hearing this, Kakashi waved his hand to reject Kai's proposal and turned his attention to Shisui.

There are a large number of Kumogakure ninjas stationed at the food storage point in Kumogakure Village. If the four of them want to complete the mission, they have to outwit them!

The best Kakashi could think of was to sneak in and sabotage.

Among the four members of ANBU Team [-], if they want to perfectly sneak into the gathering point, using Shisui's illusion to control the sentries along the way is undoubtedly the best way.

"Let me do it! Let me clear a path first, and then you can follow." Faced with Kakashi's gaze, Zhiguo said decisively.

Longye's eyes flashed, and he had no objection.

With Shisui's genjutsu skills, it would undoubtedly be best for him to be the pioneer.

"Okay! Shisui, you and I will sneak into Kumogakure's food and grass camp together. After entering the camp, you first use genjutsu to find out where the food and grass supplies are gathered, and then destroy them in one fell swoop."

Seeing this, Kakashi immediately made a decisive decision.

"Then, what about us?"

On the side, after waiting for a few seconds without seeing anything, Kai asked in confusion.

Upon hearing the inquiry, Kakashi said: "You and Tatsuno are guarding the gate of the camp, ready to meet us at any time."

"With just you and Shisui, aren't there too few manpower?" Tatsuno also had doubts about Kakashi's plan.

Kakashi shook his head: "The focus of this mission is on secrecy. Shisui and I both have Sharingan eyes, which makes it easier to sneak in.

There are hundreds of Kumogakure ninjas on the opposite side. If they are alerted, even if all four of us enter the camp, it will not help. It is better for you to guard the gate of the camp and respond to us at critical moments.

Moreover, your Ninja Beast Green Snake is so big that it cannot be used in the valley camp. Leaving it outside will make it easier for us to escape."

Long Ye frowned and said nothing more.

That night, after discussing the task assignments, the four of them began to rest early, preparing to leave early the next morning for the eastern border of Yuno Country.

In Konoha Village, in the Hokage's office, bright lights illuminated the entire room.

Standing in front of the glass window behind his desk, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen quietly looked out at the village outside the window.

The bright moon in the sky sheds patches of silver light, the lights in the village have been extinguished one after another, and the entire Konoha Village is quiet.

Sa~

In the room, a figure flashed across the room, and an ANBU wearing a hawk mask appeared in front of the desk.

"Hokage-sama, information came back from the front line. The root ninja sent by Elder Danzo has handed over the mission scroll to Team [-]." The hawk-faced ANBU ninja knelt on one knee and said respectfully.

Under the Hokage's hat, Hiruzen Sarutobi, whose appearance was showing signs of aging, had a trace of sadness in his eyes when he heard this.

He didn't answer, but waved his hand towards the hawk-faced ANBU in the room behind his back.

With a slight bow, the hawk-faced ANBU ducked away.

After a while, a sigh came from the Hokage's office.
