Ninja World

The other nurse glared at her and told her to stop talking. Saying such words now is an irritation to the person on the bed.

"Let Sakumo-sama take a rest."

Then he pulled her away.

...

Silence returned to the house.

The window was still vibrating slightly, and the subtle sounds coming from outside continued to penetrate through layers of obstacles and penetrate into the ears of the person lying on the hospital bed.

His whole body was wrapped in bandages.

He just stepped off the operating table.

However, at this moment, my heart has hit rock bottom.

The eyes that were once as sharp as knives now look a little dim, and the face is withered, as if all the energy has been lost overnight.

Scenes from two days ago kept flashing back.

"I have made up my mind."

The silver-haired man turned his back to the moonlight and spoke with a cold voice.

"Go rescue people first."

Then the next second was the moment when we encountered an ambush.

Countless detonating talismans exploded, and in just an instant, several elite ANBU were swallowed up by the flames and turned into stumps and broken arms.

"ambush!"

A pair of eyes suddenly widened.

Countless Sunagakure ninjas appeared out of nowhere and came over to kill them.

The huge number instantly defeated Konoha's ninjas.

Then they started fighting on their own and fled in all directions.

He saw the hearts that were still beating a moment ago suddenly extinguished, and his companions fell in front of him one by one.

He tried his best to kill the enemy in front of him with his sword, but the number of them was too huge.

His eyes were gradually filled with blood.

Cold.

Lying on the hospital bed was like a corpse without warmth.

call...

Perhaps only the slight rise and fall of the chest and heavy breathing can indicate that this person is still alive.

...

Inside the ANBU base directly under the Hokage.

The atmosphere was tense to the extreme.

The ANBU ninjas coming and going were all in a hurry.

The purpose of ANBU has always been to secretly maintain peace and stability in the village.

However, today they run counter to this purpose.

The leader of the ANBU became the target of public criticism and was surrounded by people who could not understand him at Konoha Hospital.

And it also directly disrupted the peaceful and stable order in the village.

confused.

nervous.

A figure surrounded by people walked quickly, and the white royal robe swayed slightly.

His face was as gloomy as water.

A pair of dark eyes were full of anger.

This incident has been going on for half a day, and the best opportunity to remedy the situation has been missed.

The other party gave him almost no room to relax, and the news spread throughout the entire Konoha Village in an instant.

It caught him off guard.

It is now difficult to deal with it.

Behind him were many people, closely following the man.

The ANBU ninjas were slightly startled when they saw the visitor, and then hurriedly saluted.

"Hokage-sama."

But now the Sandaime Hokage didn't even have the will to respond, he just walked hurriedly into the depths of the ANBU.

Everyone can understand it.

Sakumo-sama is the Third Hokage-sama’s most trusted right-hand man.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to entrust him with such an important task.

Directly subordinate to the leader of the ANBU.

There is even a great chance of becoming the Fourth Hokage in the future.

Now that something happened to Lord Hatake Sakumo, how could Lord Hokage not get angry in a hurry?

Moreover, anyone with a discerning eye can see the problem in this matter.

How could a secret that could only be circulated among high-level officials suddenly be spread out?

Even the families of the fallen did not know the reason, they just vaguely said that they were killed in the mission.

After all, ANBU's mission itself is extremely dangerous, and the mission is kept secret, so even family members are not qualified to know about it.

But such an extremely confidential failure was suddenly revealed.

And it spread throughout the village instantly.

Everyone knows that there must be someone behind it.

It also directly brought the internal strife between Konoha's top brass to the surface.

Currently, Konoha Village is still holding the Chunin Examination, which is a joke to other Ninja Village people.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face was gloomy and filled with anger.

The top management of Konoha who knew about this matter went around in his mind and could basically identify one person.

Because the existence of Hatake Sakumo directly threatens what he wants most.

"is it you..."

"Danzo..."

...

Opened the door.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Hokage assistants behind him strode in.

The busy figures in the room also stopped their work and gave a slight salute.

"Hokage-sama."

"Hokage-sama."

A man with light yellow hair stood in front of the Third Hokage and saluted.

Various precision instruments in the room were constantly flashing red and green lights, which made people feel a little palpitated.

"Shou in the mountains."

Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at the patriarch of the Yamanaka family in front of him with sharp eyes, and then said in a deep voice.

"What did you say you found?"

"Yes."

The man with light yellow hair looks ordinary, wearing a Konoha forehead protector and an ordinary green uniform.

But he is indeed the chief of the ANBU's intelligence department and the head of the ninja family's Yamaka clan.

The Yamanaka family, who have mastered the secret technique of turning hearts, are naturally the best candidates to find out the information.

Facing the Hokage-sama's gaze, Yamanaka Mamoru felt a little depressed in his chest, and he was slightly suffocated before speaking.

"We found signs that the corpse had been invaded by illusion magic before it was alive."

Maybe he also realized that he had made some mistakes.

Sarutobi Hiruzen gathered his breath slightly and let out a long breath.

But after hearing what Yamanaka Mamoru said, his eyes couldn't help but become sharp.

"you mean..."

"Some of the captives were under the illusion of magic."

Yamanaka Mamoru responded calmly.

"It is very likely that guidance contributed to this happening."

"Perhaps they are familiar with Sakumo-sama's habits and temperament."

"Maybe...it's unintentional."

There is some falsehood in this sentence.

Since it is controlled by illusion, it cannot be harmless.

This thing is weird everywhere.

The atmosphere in the room was silent.

Depressed.

"Illusion..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen muttered this word slowly and lightly clasped his fingers on the table.

His eyes were unfocused as he looked at the ANBU corpse lying on the experimental table. At this moment, his head was covered with tubes.

It pierces the flesh and looks ferocious.

This is a necessary instrument to detect life-time information, but it also desecrates the corpses of our companions.

Many names flashed through his mind.

Most of them are masters of genjutsu in Konoha.

"Being able to control so many people at once without leaving any trace..."

Whispering slightly.

The expressions of the assistants accompanying the Hokage and the people in the laboratory changed slightly, revealing their fearful emotions.

"Are they those crazy people?"

Their eyes crossed.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know what he was thinking. He was silent for a long time, and his eyes gradually became focused.

Slightly condensed.

Then he glanced at the people in the room who were either thinking deeply or looking ugly, and then said in a deep voice.

"Don't be suspicious of people from the same village."

One word woke everyone up.

Then his eyes fell on the fair-haired ninja.

"Shou in the mountains."

"You continue to explore..."

However at this time

A figure appeared out of thin air behind the Third Hokage.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyebrows moved slightly.

whispered.

"Lord Hokage..."

"A new situation has arisen..."
