Konoha's task master

Yakumo simply stopped hiding his figure, jumped to the roof and looked into the distance, quietly waiting for the arrival of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Death!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi roared angrily while holding the Ruyi King Kong Rod in his hand. Behind him were followed by dozens of masked ANBU ninjas with majestic momentum.

At this moment, Yakumo's mood was very complicated. Perhaps it was because his usual concealment and restraint had distorted his mentality. When he should have retreated cautiously, he stood there and stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen with calm eyes.

"I happen to be feeling depressed and have nowhere to vent."

"It happens that Danzo is still alive, so I feel uneasy."

Yakumo opened his right hand, and transparent water droplets were born.

"I came here only to kill Danzo. He wiped out my whole family back then. This hatred is irreconcilable!" Yakumo's powerful voice came from under the black scarf, carrying unforgettable hatred.

"You invaded Konoha and attacked ANBU members, which is an unforgivable crime. Now... you may be able to get a lighter sentence if you are caught without mercy." Sarutobi Hiruzen shouted loudly. The distance between the two was still about 800 meters.

"Not negotiable…?"

"Of course not!"

The conversation between the two was completed in an instant.

Yakumo continued to inject chakra into the water droplets, ten percent, twenty percent...thirty percent.

Accumulation completed!

A crazy look flashed in Yakumo's eyes, and he continued to add violent materials into the transparent water droplets, covering the surface with sharp wind-based chakra.

Yakumo made a flower-like shape with his hands, flexed his fingers... and aimed.

At this moment, his heart was extremely calm, all his attention was focused on his fingertips, and he even had the illusion that the flow of time was slowing down.

"mercy."

He spoke softly, his expression neither sad nor happy.

Yakumo used a special technique to shoot out transparent triangular cone-shaped water droplets, which blended inconspicuously into the night. No one around him noticed that the enemy had launched the strongest attack.

Silent, like the sharp spear of death!

Sarutobi Hiruzen almost subconsciously turned sideways while running. The next moment he felt some kind of extremely fast attack piercing his shoulder, and dark red blood spattered...

Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped. The attack not only penetrated him, but the overbearing impact even shattered the bones in his shoulders and damaged a large number of blood vessels.

Heavy damage.

"What's this?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen muttered, covering his shoulders.

He saw the fleeting attack, but was unable to defend or counterattack at all. The attack was so fast...so fast that it seemed like he could race against time.

The night became the best cover for that attack. At the same time, Hiruzen Sarutobi had to face the fact that his physical condition was declining. If it were three years ago, he would have been able to avoid this attack without any injuries.

The first confrontation between Yakumo and Hiruzen Sarutobi ended in a very short moment. With the help of the right time and place, and the opportunity of the night, he caught the moment when Hiruzen Sarutobi was unprepared and successfully wounded him severely.

The ANBU ninja looked at the blood splattered on Hiruzen Sarutobi's shoulder, with a horrified expression on his face under the mask.

"Who are you anyway?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked sternly, secretly deciding not to take action but to delay the attack.

The enemy's attack methods are simply unheard of. Ninjutsu at all levels follow the same iron law, that is, the more powerful the ninjutsu, the greater the momentum...

But this technique is completely different...

Just at this moment, Hatake Sakumo arrived.

White Teeth bloomed with gleaming white light and rushed towards Yakumo. The two of them met the code in an instant.

"Yuehua!"

The short blade burst into bright light, like a full moon descending into the world. Yakumo immediately waved his sword to block it, and the collision between the two erupted with a terrifying roar.

At this time, Yakumo discovered that although Hatake Sakumo's sword moves were brilliant and majestic, they were essentially empty shells outside of the gold and jade.

The confrontation between the two seemed extremely fierce, but most of the moves were deliberately in vain. The battle between the two was like a replica of the Battle of the Pacific.

Let each other go.

Time was running out, Yakumo no longer struggled with Hatake Sakumo, and directly used his strength to retreat, falling to the ground and shouting.

"As expected of Konoha White Fang, he was able to injure me with just one move, so whatever... I will retreat temporarily."

Everyone was astonished. They did not expect that the enemy who injured the Third Hokage with one move could be so easily repelled by White Fang.

Yakumo waved his hand and scattered the thick fog, disappearing from sight.

"Mist burial."

"Stop running!"

Hatake Sakumo said angrily, holding the knife and entering the fog.

Yakumo formed the seal, and the nine shadow clones blended into the night under the cover of the mist, and the rapid running body changed its breath and appearance. After running a thousand meters, Yakumo changed his appearance... body shape again, and quickly approached the direction of home.

In the thick fog, Hatake Sakumo was fighting swordsmanship with Yakumo Kage's clone. While they were working hard, they actually started talking in a low voice.

"Did it succeed?" Hatake Sakumo asked in a low voice.

"Failed...Danzo is not home."

Yakumo's tone was full of annoyance.

"Then Danzo is most likely in the Country of Rain. He deliberately avoided me some time ago and investigated the information about the Country of Rain."

"The Country of Rain..."

When Yakumo heard this, he found that the timeline was completely messed up.

Due to Hatake Sakumo's strength and repeated setbacks in his plans, Danzo began to place his hopes on external forces, such as Sansho Hanzo from the Land of Rain.

Then the end of the Akatsuki organization and Yahiko's demise may be brought forward. In other words, his existence has begun to affect Uchiha Madara's plan.

Not good...

The thick fog slowly dissipated, and Hatake Sakumo and the shadow clones no longer held back their hands to attack and kill quickly, and the light of their swords filled the air.

With a crash, the shadow clone was killed by Hatake Sakumo.

"Hurry up..." Sarutobi Hiruzen shouted.

"You can't catch up, and even if you catch up, you may not be able to defeat him. That person has no ill intentions towards Konoha, so he didn't go on a killing spree. Also, any ordinary ANBU team would definitely be wiped out if they encountered him."

Hatake Sakumo shook his head. He no longer had any loyalty to Sarutobi Hiruzen and directly used the teleportation method to leave.

The most important thing is that the casualties did not increase further.

"Hey... troubled times." Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head.

Things here were so big that no ninja came except the ANBU. Even his disciples Orochimaru and Jiraiya chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

The main reason for this is that the mysterious man's strength is unknown, and he did not go on a killing spree or destroy buildings.

A few minutes later, Jiraiya... came late.

"I tried to intercept it, but all I encountered were shadow clones, and the original body had long since disappeared." Jiraiya spoke first.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was enjoying the treatment of the medical ninja, and his face was slightly pale.

"Hey... ANBU has stepped up their vigilance these days."

Sarutobi Hiruzen ordered.

"Old man, I know your plan to place Yakumo next to Hatake Sakumo, but he is Tsunade's disciple after all. I don't want him to be involved in the conflict between you. I will lead him out of Konoha tomorrow.

"

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression became complicated, and finally he nodded inaudibly.

The fortieth year of Konoha, January 1st.

A mysterious person invades Konoha... In the blink of an eye...

Sarutobi Hiruzen was severely injured.

Konoha White Fang cuts down the enemy with one strike!
