Konoha's task master

The Hokage Building, currently the tallest building in Konoha, represents the supreme power of the Hokage in Konoha Hidden Village, and also represents the Hokage's determination to protect Konoha before everyone else.

At this time, there was a bit of tit-for-tat in the Hokage conference room. The matter started from the report half an hour ago.

"Reporting to Lord Hokage, the Mist Ninja spies have been silenced by unknown forces. However, my subordinates found traces of the disappearing powder and zombie water specially provided by ANBU on the battlefield. However, yesterday, the positions of all ANBU members were normal. In the prop bag

There is no loss or loss of corpse-dissolving water and trace-eliminating powder.”

"The effects caused by the unknown ninjutsu... are 95% consistent with those of the Vacuum Daiyu."

"When ANBU searched for spies yesterday, they encountered obstacles from third-party forces. All those captured committed suicide in prison for unknown reasons."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face gradually darkened as he looked at the report. He knew very well that the evidence White Fang gave clearly pointed to... the ANBU training department, that is, the root.

He also enjoyed various props specially provided by ANBU, and it was well known that the Vacuum Daiyu was Danzo's signature ninjutsu. He even knew that Danzo had done many small tricks using his roots over the years, but what he didn't expect was that Danzo would be brave enough to dare

Collude with enemy spies!

Not long after, Danzo, with one eye wrapped in a bandage and his face hidden, opened the door to the Hokage's office.

The remaining single eye scanned the entire conference room, and even the hidden Anbu subconsciously averted their eyes at this moment.

He exudes the majesty of a superior person without any scruples. When he comes, even Sarutobi Hiruzen will tighten his body and treat him with caution.

Ambition is like a burning flame. It makes people strong and young.

Even though Danzo is close to 50 years old, he still walks steadily with a temperament that makes people feel chilled all over. But Sarutobi Hiruzen is getting older and older.

But this powerful coercion was completely unable to affect Hatake Sakumo, and he stood there quietly like a majestic mountain, more like a sharp blade.

Sarutobi Hiruzen handed the information compiled by the ANBU to Danzo. A few minutes later, Danzo threw the documents on the table with great force, stared at Hatake Sakumo and said coldly.

"This is slander and groundless accusation!"

"Danzo-sama, the ANBU is only responsible for investigating...not exploring the truth." White Fang answered calmly. Although he called Danzo-sama, there was not much respect in his tone.

"When I was fighting with the Second Generation Master, you, a young boy, didn't know where to feed yourself!"

The captain's words were very clever. They seemed to be a reply to White Fang, but on the other hand, they reminded Hiruzen Sarutobi of the friendship they had when they fought side by side.

Sure enough, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression softened slightly.

"Danzo-sama, a truly strong man will never show his power by releasing pressure, and a true brave man will never be timid in the face of battle." White Fang's flat response hit the backbone deep in Danzo's heart.

That second of hesitation in front of the second generation was regarded by Danzo as a lifelong shame.

"White Fang! You... shut up!" Danzo suddenly stood up, his face blood red, his one eye filled with fierce light and murderous intent.

"If... Danzo-sama wants to spar, White Fang will be with you at any time." White Fang's tone was still calm, and it could even be said that he ignored Danzo's roar.

"you……"

"Okay, okay, Danzo, you are so old, why bother getting angry with your juniors." Sarutobi Hiruzen said like a peacemaker.

"Hmph." Danzo snorted coldly and sat down again.

"Since there is no direct evidence, the matter ends here, but the list of ANBU training department personnel needs to be handed over to the ANBU."

As the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke, almost deciding the outcome of this matter.

Danzo left the Hokage's office angrily. At this moment, his murderous intention towards White Fang was at an all-time high. He could only hand over part of the personnel list, but he would definitely be stretched thin and nervous when doing anything in the future.

Originally, the entire base was his private army, but now half of it is controlled by the Anbu. Although the command is still in his hands, it is not as convenient as before.

He was at a loss in this matter. He was indeed in contact with the spy, and it was indeed his order to interfere with the ANBU's search yesterday.

But it was really not him who silenced him...

He thought the spy had returned to the Kingdom of Water with the message he had given to the Mizukage.

…………

On the other hand, Yakumo still doesn't know that someone has taken the blame for the death of the spy on his behalf, and he is currently planning how to get some corpse-transforming water and disappearing powder from Kakashi again. This is a must-have for killing and stealing.

Prepare artifacts.

Confess directly?

It doesn't seem like a bad idea. Anyway, he has already exposed his strength to Kakashi somewhere. As long as he doesn't expose the water bomb, it doesn't count as exposed, and what's new once is familiar again.

In the afternoon, Yakumo once again pulled Kakashi to a familiar dark corner with a somewhat flattering expression.

"What happened this time?" Kakashi asked helplessly. He couldn't understand why Yakumo would drag him into such a dark corner every time something happened, so that he could easily be misunderstood... OK?

"Corpse turning water and disappearing powder..."

"Understood, I'll give it to you tomorrow." After saying that, Kakashi couldn't wait to turn around and leave, leaving Runyu with a puzzled look on his face.

"Why."

Kakashi didn't ask him where he used the last corpse-transforming water because he had almost unconditional trust in his friends. Yakumo could see this clearly. As his bond with Kakashi deepened, he could really do it to White Fang.

Do you stand by and watch his death?

"Why does Kakashi look so strange?"

"Don't you know there are three holy places in the Ninja Academy?" Masako Mori asked in surprise.

"What three holy places, where...?"

"The Grudge Alley, which is responsible for resolving grievances, the first-generation toes that bring good luck if you touch them, and the Confession Corner that represents love."

"It can't be the place where Kakashi and I just went, right?" Yakumo was completely dumbfounded as to why he had never heard of the so-called three holy places of the Ninja Academy.

"That's right."

"You have to believe me...I really...don't like Kakashi." Yakumo quickly defended.

"Then who does Yakumo like?" Masako Mori asked with a smile, a hint of cunning deep in her eyes.

Hearing this, Yakumo subconsciously looked at Yuhi Kurenai, who was chatting happily with Sarutobi Asuma.

"It seems like I don't have anything I like now."

It is a foregone conclusion that Yuhi Kurenai and Sarutobi Asuma will be together, although according to the plot development, Sarutobi Asuma will die young, and Yuhi Kurenai is already unparalleled in beauty at that time.

But she was already pregnant with Sarutobi Asuma's child at that time. Yakumo believed that many things in this world could be done by others, but it was better to do things like childbirth by oneself.

"So... Yakumo likes Yuhi Kurenai, right?" Masako Mori suddenly approached Yakumo and whispered.

"Yes, that's right."

Perhaps because he was about to give up, or perhaps because of the trust he had accumulated through life and death together, Yakumo generously admitted his love in front of Masako Mori.

Maybe it’s not like...

...He is just greedy for other people's bodies.

"It should be said that I once liked it a little bit."
