On the night of genocide, it would be reasonable to annihilate the Shimura clan.

Uzumaki Mito asked in confusion: "What do you feel?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent for a moment, and then said with a hint of bitterness: "Yes, it's over..."

He waved his hand and said: "It's nothing, I just want to ask you."

"correct……"

Uzumaki Mito hesitated and said: "Sir, actually, there is something about the Nine-Tails..."

"Huh?" Hiruzen Sarutobi looked up at her.

Uzumaki Mito pursed his lips and continued: "I always feel... that there seems to be some conspiracy brewing in the village."

"conspiracy?"

Uzumaki Mito nodded hesitantly: "Yes, sir, I have a hunch that the turmoil in the village this time may be more than just the Nine-Tails incident."

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and said, "Well..."

Immediately, he muttered: "Let's put this matter aside for now until I find out more about it."

He took a deep breath: "In addition..."

He glanced at Uzumaki Mito and asked, "Mito-sama, how is your physical condition recently?"

Mito Uzumaki showed a blush: "Thanks to the elixir given by you, my health has improved a lot, and I am now back to my peak condition!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a hint of relief: "That's good, then, you have to prepare. I will give you a pill later. You can take it, and then you can take the Chunin exam."

"Chunin Examination..."

Uzumaki Mito was startled: "Is it the will of the Third Hokage?"

"Yes, this is a mission that must be completed."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said slowly: "You Chuunin are the future of the village. I hope you can achieve good rankings."

"Sir, over the years, Konoha has suffered heavy losses due to the Nine-Tails incident, especially the damage to the four major ninja schools, which has caused Konoha Village to almost lose its future."

Uzumaki Mito sighed: "So your Excellency hopes that we can solve this hidden danger as soon as possible, right?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen praised: "Yes, I hope to see the birth of a new chunin!"

"This is the future of Konoha Village. No matter what the cost, I will do my best to help you!"

Uzumaki Mito nodded: "I understand."

She paused and then asked: "Sir, I would like to ask you..."

"If, I mean if, our Konoha Village encounters danger or encounters an enemy attack, what should we do?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen muttered: "You should know... the grudges between us and the Uchiha clan over the years."

"Back then, Uchiha Madara led the Uchiha clan and caused huge losses to Konoha! Moreover, he himself died in our hands. I think you should know this kind of hatred."

"I know, but what is the deep hatred between us and Uchiha? Why can't we sit down and talk..."

Uzumaki Mito was a little confused.

She didn't know the reason for the destruction of the five great kingdoms, nor the real reason for Uchiha Madara's death. She only thought that the two sides had an irreconcilable blood feud.

"Talk? Haha..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said indifferently: "Mito-sama, do you think I haven't talked to Uchiha?"

"But they always stick to their position. Even if they are forced to leave Konoha, they still insist that the Uchiha clan was created by Uchiha Madara."

"Even the Uchiha clan publicly announced their separation from Konoha!"

"Leave Konoha?" Uzumaki Mito asked in surprise: "Then the Uchiha clan has become an independent force?"

"No, Konoha Village will always be Konoha Village! The Uchiha clan will always be a member of Konoha Village!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said solemnly: "But they are unwilling to accept Konoha, thinking that Konoha is the culprit for depriving them of their honor."

"Moreover, in these decades, they have always refused to admit that they are Uchiha. They have always called themselves a branch family of Uchiha - Uchiha!"

"They refused to return to Konoha Village and become a part of Konoha!"

Uzumaki Mito was shocked, and then he realized that the hatred between the Uchiha clan and Konoha was actually because of this.

But...she didn't understand: "Why?"

"Why do they refuse to return to Konoha Village?"

"After all, the glorious history of Konoha Village also has their contribution!"

"Our villagers respect them and trust them very much!"

"Why do they refuse to return to the Leaf Village?"

"Why……"

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head: "Maybe it's because of the pride in their hearts."

"Are they proud..." Uzumaki Mito whispered: "Are they the pride of Konoha?"

"Unfortunately, we can't change this."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled: "But it doesn't matter, time will last, and we will change everything slowly."

…

Mito Uzumaki is gone.

She returned to ANBU with the mission given by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Anbu's work is relatively busy, and she needs to spend her energy dealing with various trivial things.

However, although she was busy, the look on her face gradually became serious.

Because she suddenly thought that Lord Sarutobi Hiruzen had just reminded her to advance to Chuunin as soon as possible, could it be...

Did something big happen again in Konoha Village?

…

At this moment, outside Konoha Village.

Dozens of men and women wearing ANBU clothes gathered in the woods. Everyone was staring at the surroundings warily, as if they could attack at any time.

suddenly……

"Uh-huh!"

In the dark bushes, a black stream of light flashed, and then, accompanied by the sound of breaking through the air, a snake-shaped ninja dog rushed over.

It opened its ferocious mouth and bit with sharp teeth, and its target was a female ninja!

The female ninja quickly formed seals with both hands, and a ball of blue water escape technique emerged from her palms.

Bang!

The water escape technique burst instantly, and a strong stream of water swept out, causing the venomous snake to retreat in embarrassment.

However, the female ninja's face turned slightly pale. The venomous snake in front of her seemed to be highly poisonous. If she hadn't used the water escape technique in time to resist most of the venom, she would have been poisoned to death.

"Damn it, why did I meet this group of skunks at this time."

The female ninja cursed in her heart. Her name is Uzumaki Naruto, a water escape ninja, whose strength is second only to her sister Uzumaki Kushina, and she has a super perception ability, which can easily detect the traces of hidden enemies within a distance.

She could recognize the true identity of the guys in front of her at a glance.

These guys are ninjas from the Skunk Organization, who specialize in doing dirty and tiring work.

These guys are best at sneak attacks.

Uzumaki Naruto calmed down, and she no longer acted rashly, but quietly looked at the surrounding environment.

"Well, this is..."

Uzumaki Naruto looked for a moment, his face slightly solemn: "The back mountain of Konoha Village?"

She had participated in a mission of the Anbu, so she was very familiar with Konoha Village, and the back mountain of Konoha Village was a dense forest, and here was an ancient tomb.

It is said that when Hashirama Senju died, his body was buried here.

She couldn't figure out why the ninjas of the Skunk Organization appeared here.

"However, since we met, it can be regarded as a coincidence..."

Uzumaki Naruto squinted his eyes and looked at the Skunk Organization members lurking in the dark.

...

"Hehehe, kid, I know you are hiding nearby, don't hide!"

A sneaking Skunk Ninja said with a cruel expression.

He is thin, with narrow eyes and a pair of glasses on his nose.

If Uzumaki Naruto was here, he would be extremely surprised: "Is it Sai?!"

That's right, the person lurking here is Sai, the famous glasses ninja of Konoha, who is also an excellent stealth ninja.

Sai on the other side said insidiously: "Hehe! I have detected your breath!"

"You can't run away!"

He suddenly jumped up and rushed into the forest.

"Hehehe, I caught you."

Sai's face was full of excitement, because he caught Uchiha Naruto, the third-ranked master of Konohagakure.

"This is a great achievement! I must sell him to Lord Orochimaru."

"Lord Orochimaru will reward me with a large sum of money, and..."

Sai thought excitedly.

At this moment, a breeze blew, Sai trembled all over, and looked up suddenly, only to see a young man standing on the branch overlooking him!

"Hey, who are you?!"

Sai's pupils shrank slightly, and he sensed the dangerous aura coming from the boy in front of him.

The boy raised his lips and said lightly: "My name is Uchiha Shisui."

"What?!"

Sai's face suddenly changed, and he stepped back continuously, his face full of shock.

"It's you! Uchiha Shisui!"

Uchiha Shisui nodded and said: "Yes, it's me."

"Hehe, I didn't expect that I was so lucky to meet a defector like you!"

After hearing his words, Shisui raised his eyebrows, and he didn't refute, because this was indeed his problem.

"Then..."

"How should I deal with you, a traitor?"

Sai's face was ugly. After he was silent for a while, a resolute look flashed in his eyes: "Since you choose to return to Konoha, then today, I will use your blood to comfort the spirit of Lord Orochimaru in heaven!"

Shisui didn't move, just looked at Sai calmly.

"Hehe! Prepare to die!"

A fierce light flashed in Sai's eyes, and he kicked his feet and rushed straight to Shisui's head.

Shisui still didn't say a word, but slowly raised his right leg.

"Earth Style: Earth Dragon Bomb!"

Boom!

The mud and rocks rolled, and a huge hole was blown up on the ground.

"Hmph, a trifling trick!"

Sai snorted coldly and continued to rush up: "I want to see how you killed Lord Orochimaru!"

Shisui was still calm, he slowly raised his right arm: "Water Style: Water Wave!"

"Crash!"

The surging waves roared out and met Sai's ninja tool.

The two forces collided, and a strong shock wave suddenly erupted.

Shisui's figure was dispersed, and Sai's body was shaken by the rush, and he almost fell to the ground.

"What?"

"Why are there so many water flows?!"

Sai's face changed drastically, because the previous move was obviously very powerful, and he actually felt tired. What was worse was the tides coming from all around, making it impossible for him to break free, and even had a tendency to sink deeper and deeper!

"Damn it, am I going to die here?"

His face turned pale.

Suddenly, the water flow around him stagnated, and his body slowly floated up.

"Huh?"

Sai looked down at his chest in confusion, where a kunai was stuck, and the end of the kunai was hanging on a person's wrist.

Sai turned around and looked at this person with a gloomy face, but saw a young man in a gray robe walking slowly towards him.

His expression was calm, and he didn't look like he was looking for trouble.

Sai breathed a sigh of relief and said in an unhappy tone: "My classmate, what do you mean?"

Although he didn't use his full strength, he didn't allow others to interfere, especially when the other party was an ordinary person with no cultivation!

"Oh? Aren't you going to kill me?"

Shisui's face was calm, and he looked like he was smiling.

Sai said coldly: "Don't make a mistake, I'm just chasing an enemy, it has nothing to do with you!"

Shisui's face was indifferent, and he said lightly: "Then I wish you a safe journey."

Sai's face froze, but he didn't want to entangle with Shisui any more, so he left quickly.

He knew that their identities were special, and if they attracted other Anbu, he would be in danger!

"That's good."

Watching Sai disappear, Shisui murmured: "Sasuke, I'll solve a problem for you first."

Then, Shisui walked back. After all, he needed to find some food to fill his stomach.

He has been hungry since last night, and his stomach is flat!

On the other side.

Sai rushed towards Konoha quickly. He planned to kill the Anbu patrolling the outer area of ​​Konoha first.

However...

"Shua shua shua!"

A group of black-clothed Anbu quickly surrounded him.

Sai's eyelids twitched, and a strong sense of danger rose in his heart.

"Sai, are you finally willing to show up?"

A voice sounded.

"You are the Anbu of Konoha Village, why are you blocking my way?"

Sai gritted his teeth and stared at the group of Anbu ninjas.

The leading Anbu captain sneered: "You traitor, do you think you are still qualified to live?!"

Sai roared, and lightning crackled all over his body: "Treason? Hahaha! This world is originally a world where the strong prey on the weak, I just take back what belongs to me!"

"Insolent!"

"Bold!"

A group of Anbu were furious.

They were all nails arranged by the major ninja villages, with the purpose of monitoring the actions of Uchiha Shisui and others, and then reporting them.

Sai looked ferocious and said angrily: "If you hadn't obstructed my plan, Lord Orochimaru would have ruled Konoha long ago!"

The captain of the Anbu shouted coldly: "Asshole! Lord Orochimaru is the greatest hero of Konoha, how can you insult him!"

"How dare you, a traitor, say that Lord Orochimaru is the greatest hero of Konoha?"

"You are a traitor indeed!"

"You deserve to die!"

The Anbu were furious and took out their ninja tools to attack.

Sai gritted his teeth, formed seals with both hands, and a giant rock appeared in his palms.

Sai cursed: "I will never lose, I want revenge!"

"Earth escape·Rock blast!"

Boom~

The rock flew and instantly swallowed up a group of Anbu.

Several elite ninjas in the Anbu died tragically on the spot, and the rest were also wounded.
