Escape From Konoha

"Suo Mao asked for additional staff, what do you think?"

In the meeting room in the Hokage Building, Hiruzasa Sarutobi of the Third Hokage mentioned Sakumo's request for additional manpower.

"With his strength, isn't it enough to deal with the potential enemies in the Land of Fire?"

The consultant turned to Xiaochun and frowned, obviously not satisfied with Shuo Mao's request for additional staff.

"The opponents are two elite junin from the Sand Hidden Puppet Troop, and there are three other jnin in the team, one of whom can use the large-scale earth escape technique."

"But there is no direct evidence to prove that it is a ninja from Yanyin Village."

Xiaochun said.

Ri Zhan shook the pipe in his hand, and said, "I don't think Onoki will do nothing at this time, and we can't make a conclusion on this matter just because there is no task change in Yanyin Village."

"According to what you said, Yunyin and Wuyin are also suspected."

Adviser Mitomon Yan took a look at Hirizhan.

"So when the Third Kazekage left, I was in charge of the village, just to prevent other villages from getting involved and making the battlefield even more chaotic."

"Then what are you going to do? We can't trust the Uchiha Guards. Danzo is not in the village at this time to lead the roots and carry out secret missions. It is already extremely risky for us to use the Anbu of the two teams to stay in the village. Something happened."

There was an inquiring look in Menyan's eyes.

"Men Yan is right. In the past, no matter how dangerous it was, he would stay with the Anbu of the three teams. Now only the Anbu of the two teams is left, which is a gamble."

Koharu also has no sense of trust in Uchiha.

"Uchiha is also a member of Konoha, we should not be prejudiced against them, they are members of Kagami's clan."

Ri Zhan continued to spit out a smoke ring with a solemn expression.

Handing over the management of the guard team to the Uchiha clan is an arrangement made by his late teacher, the second generation of Hokage Senju Tobima.

There are many reasons for this. On the one hand, it is out of fear, and on the other hand, it wants to limit Uchiha's power to the guard.

Because of the work of the guard, only the Uchiha clan has the ability to do it.

The work problems of the Uchiha Guard are remarkable. Although there are indeed some people with abnormal brains who like to cause trouble, there are also some Uchiha ninjas who really want to maintain Konoha's internal security.

Ri Zhan felt that he could not beat everyone to death with a single stick.

Besides, his teacher also wanted to fully integrate the Uchiha clan into Konoha instead of excluding them.

It is a pity that when the first ninja world war broke out at that time, his teacher died on the battlefield, which caused Uchiha's affairs to end.

All these years we can only waste.

With the efforts of his Hokage, the relationship has indeed eased, but there has not been much substantial progress.

"Mirrors are mirrors, and Uchiha is Uchiha. They exist at different levels. Among Uchihas, there are not a few Uchiha ninjas who inherit Uchiha Madara's radical thinking. People of this family are potentially dangerous."

After all, the consultants don't believe in Uchiha, or in other words, they don't believe in the Uchiha ninja who has the power of curse and awakens Sharingan.

"Then make a compromise, and then divide into two squads of Anbu. Only by getting rid of the rats in the Land of Fire, can Shuo Mo go to the battlefield and counterattack Sand Yin."

"But……"

"If there is anything abnormal about Uchiha, I will personally take action to resolve the chaos, so that you can feel at ease."

Ri Zhan had an inviolable and powerful aura, even Men Yan and Xiao Chun felt unprecedented pressure.

This also tells Menyan and Xiaochun in disguise that with him as Hokage, no matter what happens to Uchiha, he will stay on the site honestly, doing what the security team should do, and there will never be any problems.

This kind of self-confidence from the bottom of his heart was deeply written on Ri Zhan's face.

"Since you have said so, Ri Zhan, then you have to do so."

"You must not be careless about Uchiha's affairs. They are a natural evil family, and they must always be on guard."

In the end, Menyan and Koharu reminded Hirizan, and then put aside the question about Uchiha for the time being.

"In addition, the supply from the village to the front line is insufficient. Xiaochun and I need to go to the Daming Mansion to discuss with the Daming and collect supplies there."

Menyan and Xiaochun looked at each other, and Menyan spoke.

"Lack of supplies again?"

Hirizhan stopped smoking.

"Yes, medical supplies are the most lacking here, and Bingliang Pills and ninja tools are still enough."

"Go early and return early."

Any ninja needs a handwritten letter from Hokage to leave the village. Even a consultant must get a handwritten letter from Hokage before he can leave the village.

Men Yan and Xiaochun got the written letter from Ri Zhan that they could leave the village, and left the meeting room.

◎

A sentry point in the north of Konoha, guarded by about twenty Konoha ninjas, can be used as a temporary supply station for Sakumo's team.

Fortunately, there is a simple infirmary inside this outpost.

Shiraishi carried the seriously injured Konoha ninja found in another sentry point on his back, and went into the new sentry point infirmary to rest.

Although he still looks like he is not awake, he is out of danger, which is a blessing in misfortune.

Liuli and Ayane were there to negotiate with Konoha Ninja at the sentry point, and obtaining supplies, food, water, and medical supplies were the top priorities.

Before long, Shiraishi and others were ready.

Shuo Mao put away the scroll in his hand and said, "There is good news. Hokage-sama has agreed to send additional helpers. He is an expert in investigation. But we can't relax here. Now that the supplies are ready, let's go straight away."

"yes!"

Baishi and the others responded, and followed Shuo Mao to act again.

Currently, they are in the southern central region of the Land of Fire, and the next route they will follow is to head to the east of the Land of Fire.

It is adjacent to the neighboring country of Yunokuni, a country famous for its hot springs.

If it wasn't during the war, you can go there to enjoy it. As for now, the task is still the most important.

After patrolling for two days in a row, they didn't notice anything abnormal, not even the shadow of the sand hidden ninja.

But considering that this is the hinterland of the Land of Fire, the sand hidden ninjas should not be so stupid as to wreak havoc here. Of course, with a just in case mentality, the serious Sakumo would not let a region go.

On the third day, I waited until the supplies in the backpack were gone, and then went to the nearest Konoha sentry point for new supplies.

"It's really amazing for you to come out at such a young age to carry out such a dangerous mission with Sakumo Jonin."

The captain of this sentry point is a well-known jounin from Konoha, a mature man in his thirties, seeing the extremely immature faces of Shiraishi and the other three, he sighed with emotion.

"In fact, our help is very small, and we often need Teacher Shuo Mao to take care of us."

Shiraishi maintained a humble attitude.

"I know Sakumo Jonin's character. If you don't get his approval, he will never violate his principles and take you to carry out such a dangerous mission. In other words, your strength has made him approve .He's the kind of man who values ​​his companions so much."

This Konoha Jami seems to recall what he said.

"Senior, do you know Mr. Shuo Mao?"

"We have performed missions together before. At that time, he looked cold, but he was actually a very gentle person, and he was easily shy. To the enemy, he was the cold-blooded and ruthless Konoha Baiya. To his own people, he was worthy A companion who puts his back on his back."

"It turns out that Teacher Shuo Mao was such a person in the past. I can't tell."

Maybe it's because she has grown a lot in these years, so she can't see Shuo Mao's shy side.

The three of Baishi could only guess like this.

"Tianzhu, what strange things are you instilling in my students?"

Shuo Mao came over at this moment.

"It's just about some ninja experience as a senior." Tianzhu Shangren said.

"By the way, this guy is a pervert."

Shuo Mao suddenly said this.

Liuli and Ayane cast a vigilant look at Tianzhu Shangren for an instant, and stepped back.

"Hello!"

Tentake Shinobu blushed.

"—especially for men."

Shiraishi saw that Tianzhu Shangren was closest to him, and the smile on his face froze.

Liuli and Ayane breathed a sigh of relief, then everything will be fine.

At this moment, from another piece of thick grass at the sentry point, a Konoha ninja who was covered in blood suddenly ran out. After running a few steps, he fell down with serious injuries.

"Be careful, there are... enemies..."
