Konoha Ninja Wants an Ordinary Life

"Did the Third Hokage do anything?"

The Daimyo of the Land of Fire sat in his seat, supporting his head with his right hand, his eyes wandering around, looking a little absent-minded.

The official serving on the side replied: "We haven't received any news yet, please be patient and wait a moment."

"Hey." The daimyo shook his folding fan, shook his head, and said to himself, "Konoha doesn't even have a decent ninja now, so it's really hard to cut down on their money. But what happened this time really makes me feel bad.

, let’s cut it by 10%, just think of it as punishment for Konoha.”

"Tell me my decision immediately, go ahead." The daimyo closed the folding fan and said to the official standing on his right.

"Yes." The official immediately ran out to deliver the order.

The official on the left said worriedly: "Daimyo, 10% is really too much, please think about it more."

"One achievement is too much?!" The daimyo let out a strange laugh, and then said: "This is just a small reminder. Although Konoha is weak, it is not so low that it can't even clean up the surrounding area. I

I just hope they work a little harder. Okay, I’m going to rest, please step back.”

He glanced at the official lying on the ground and suddenly felt very bored. Then he slapped the folding fan on the table and walked to the back hall in a swagger.

In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned his back to the four ANBU Kuroyuki Hatake Kakashi, Tenzo, Misaki Mochizuki Kagetoki and the last crow Uchiha Shisui who he had just summoned.

This is a typical temporary ANBU team. Among Konoha ANBU, only two-thirds of the people are members of a fixed team, and the remaining independent individuals will be organically combined for a certain task.

Because some of the tasks performed by ANBU do not require a four-person team, this also ensures flexibility.

"This mission is very important. You have to investigate clearly who launched the attack on the daimyo, and you will catch the person who led the crime. Do you understand?" the Third Hokage said in a deep voice.

"Understood." The four people replied in strange voices.

"Then you should set off immediately and make sure to solve this incident."

Four Konoha ninjas wearing ANBU uniforms disappeared from the Hokage's office and ran quickly in the direction where the daimyo came.

Among the four, Kakashi Hatake, who was the captain of this mission, stood out with his silver hair.

Tenzo, on the other hand, is wearing a white ANBU robe, which is similar to that of Mochizuki Kageshi, which is used to hide his figure and information.

Uchiha Shisui, who was at the back, summoned the crows he raised while running, asking these smart birds to search for the smell of corpses.

Many people died in the Daimyo's team, and the Daimyo was not the kind of person who would carry an urn with him, so those guarding ninjas who gave their lives for the Daimyo were buried on the spot.

No one will pay attention to the corpses left by the enemy. They will most likely be thrown randomly in a forest. The sense of smell of creatures like crows is very sensitive, especially when it comes to death.

Not long after leaving the village, a crow flew back quickly, then circled a few times above Uchiha Shisui's head, and then flew straight in a certain direction.

Uchiha Shisui quickly told his teammates about the discovery of the body, while Hatake Kakashi made a prompt decision and informed everyone to follow the crow.

Crows are very fast. They fly in the sky and have become stronger than their wild counterparts under the long-term cultivation of their owners.

The four ninjas who shuttled through the woods were working hard to move forward listening to the crows of crows. The dense woods of the Land of Fire are both natural barriers and the culprits of road erosion. If a road is not managed, it only takes one

Within two months it will be overrun by these tenacious plants.

After an hour of driving at full speed, the four of them landed on the ground one after another, looking at the bodies that had been passed through the collarbones by steel wires and then hung on the branches.

"do not know……"

Kakashi Hatake looked at the strange pattern carved on the right cheek, which was the most unified and obvious feature of these corpses. He fell into deep thought for a moment. Apparently he had never seen this pattern before. After thinking for a long time, he could not find a useful answer.

, so he turned his attention to his three teammates, and all he got was a shake of his head.

"Are you just giving up the most useful clue?"

Looking at Hatake Kakashi who was about to leave, Uchiha Shisui expressed his confusion.

Before Kakashi could answer, Tenzo on the side gave the answer for his most respected senior. The Wooden ninja who had been growing up silently in the Anbu said: "Except for the ninja villages recognized by various countries, in the ninja world

There are still various organizations. Some of them are the remnants of some destroyed small ninja villages, some are tangled organizations of wandering ninjas, some are subordinates supported by businessmen and nobles, and there are also mergers and fusions of underground organizations..."

"In short, some of these various organizations have marks and some have no marks. Since neither the captain nor I know each other, there are only two possibilities. One is that the organization these ninjas belong to is very hidden.

It's not on Konoha's record list at all. Secondly, they deliberately carved this mark to mislead us."

"At the moment, it seems that the second situation is more serious." Wang Yuejingshi suddenly opened his mouth and followed Tianzang's words.

Tianzang nodded, "Marks are proof of identity. Most ninjas will wear forehead protectors, and some organizations choose to engrave uniform logos on weapons. Only those engraved on the body, especially the face, are

It’s the first time I’ve seen it. This is most likely a ploy to lead us somewhere else.”

Uchiha Shisui nodded after hearing this. As an Uchiha, he is very smart. But with his status, he is restricted from many documents that the ANBU can read. Without specific information, he cannot say it as straightforwardly as Tenzo.

Make your own inferences.

Kakashi looked around and said, "This is not normal."

!!!

While looking at the moonscape, the three of them quickly looked at Kakashi, only to see Kakashi standing under a tree. There were five corpses hanging on the tree, and the ground was covered with dried blood. There was nothing unusual at all.

Seeing that none of the three people responded, Kakashi said: "There is so much blood here, but there are no traces of animals. What does this mean?"

What does this mean? Of course there is only one answer!

In an instant, invisible figures emerged one after another, surrounding the four people.
