Under the Bamboo Forest of Naruto

"I didn't expect that the task issued this time would be such a troublesome task."

Looking at the scroll in his hand, Liu Yu's face looked very solemn. This kind of scroll with the word "Top Secret" is often extremely difficult for S-level tasks. Most of them are assassinating a village leader, a big name or hunting down S-level rebellious ninjas.

Task.

Returning to his room, Liu Yu gently opened the scroll.

[Task type: Assassination.]

[Task target: Former Minister of Finance of the Land of Fire. Jiuguang Tokio.]

[Mission location: The target character can be on the way to Cedar City when heading to the Land of Fire.]

[Specific requirements: None, arranged by the planners themselves. 】

[Note: Enemy escorts.]

Opening the scroll, the first thing that caught Liu Yu's eyes was a simple explanation of the mission. Seeing this, Liu Yu frowned slightly. Although the former finance minister of the Fire Country was a big shot, assassinating such a person seemed not enough.

Level task!

Liu Yu continued to read down, and when he saw the back, Liu Yu slowly understood what this mission was all about.

This Kumitsu Tokijo was bribed by the Kingdom of Thunder when he was still serving as the Minister of Finance of the Country of Fire, and sold a large number of secrets of the Country of Fire. And during the Third Ninja World War, he took advantage of his status and position to

The Fire Nation withheld various materials provided to Konoha and delayed their delivery, which indirectly caused Konoha to pay greater casualties in the war.

He also used his own power to provide support for the hostile activities of the Land of Thunder. The last time the Kumogakure ninjas who sneaked into the City of Fire attempted to assassinate the Daimyo at the Fire King Festival were brought into the city by him.

After the assassination attempt failed, Mitsuki Tokijo came under suspicion, and it wasn't long before the daimyo dismissed him as finance minister due to his old age. Afterwards, through ANBU investigation, Hisakushi Tokijo's identity as a traitor was confirmed.

But after all, this is a political scandal in the Country of Fire. Therefore, the top leaders of Konoha and the Country of Fire do not intend to deal with him directly. Instead, they plan to find opportunities to assassinate him. And there cannot be too many people during the assassination.

Knowing that, after the assassination is successful, the assassination will be framed to other hostile countries.

However, Kumitsu Tokijo received strong protection from Kumogakure, and several elite Kumogakure ninjas were placed among his bodyguards. Several waves of assassins sent by the daimyo were all defeated.

Now Kumitsu Tokijo knows that the Fire Country is no longer safe, so he begins to plan to escape from the Fire Country. According to information from the Intelligence Ministry, there will be Kumogakure ninjas infiltrating the northeastern city of the Fire Country, "Tokisugi Castle".

Respond.

As the former finance minister, Kumitsu Tokijo has mastered a large number of secrets of the Fire Country and a large amount of money. Once he defectes, it will pose a great threat to the Fire Country. Therefore, the daimyo ordered Konoha to run to Tokisugi Castle in Kumitsu Tokijo.

Kill Jiuguang Toki Castle in advance.

Seeing this, it was not difficult for Liu Yu to understand why this mission was classified as top secret. However, Liu Yu couldn't help complaining about how long it had been. The senior officials were still worried about the face of the great country, so they directly mobilized heavy troops to forcibly arrest Kuguang Tokijo.

ok?

However, complaints are complaints, and Liu Yu still has to carry out the mission honestly. For Liu Yu, this mission is actually not that difficult. The only thing that needs attention is the few Kumogakure ninjas who serve as the bodyguards of Jiuguang Toki Castle.

However, the ordinary Kumogakure ninja Liu Yu doesn't take it lightly. With her current strength, only a few people in Kumogakure Village, including the Abby group, can pose a threat to her.

But you still have to hurry up. According to the investigation of the Intelligence Department, Kumitsu Tokijo has already started to set off towards Tokisugi Castle. If you want to intercept and kill them before they arrive at Tokisugi Castle, it is best to set off early.

After reading the mission, as usual, Liu Yu took out a lighter and burned it. Such confidential documents must be burned after reading.

"Is there another mission?"

At this time, a familiar voice gently sounded in Liu Yu's ears.

"Um!"

Liuyu hummed softly, and hearing this voice she knew that the person coming was Cao Qianfudang. When Liuyu finished burning the scroll, he raised his head to take a look, but when he raised his head, Liuyu couldn't help but widen his eyes. At this time

Only then did she notice that Kusame Futou was not wearing the familiar ANBU mask, and was also wearing regular clothes. She hadn't seen him dressed like this for a long time after joining the ANBU.

"Take a vacation!"

Seeing Liu Yu's slightly shocked look, Cao Qianfutang explained softly.

"That's really unlucky!"

Hearing this, Liu Yu said helplessly that it was a rare coincidence that Kusanagi Futou had taken a rare vacation, but he was about to go on a mission again. This was really unlucky! I don't know if the old man Sandai did it on purpose.

"What's this?"

At this time, Cao Qianfutang pointed at the gilt envelope on Liu Yu's table and asked.

"The invitation letter from the Daimyo, inviting me to join the Guardian Ninja. How about it? Are you interested? Do you want me to recommend you to join the Guardian Ninja?"

Ryuyu answered casually, but then Ryuyu seemed to have thought of something, and his tone became excited. He didn't have time to join the Guardian Ninja, but Kusasenfutou did! Although Kusasenfutou is still working in the ANBU,

I believe that the three Hokages will not object to the recruitment of the Fire Country's daimyo.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu couldn't help but secretly apologize to Asma in his heart. In the original book, Asma was spotted by the daimyo and was recruited to become the Twelve Guardian Ninja. But in this life, because of Liu Yu's tyranny

After Sora was born, the daimyo focused all his interest on Ryūha, and Asuma didn't receive any invitation to protect the ninja at all.

If Kusasenfudo really becomes a guardian ninja this time, Asuma may really have to say goodbye to the guardian ninja forever. As for Jilu, Kazuma, the old friends who are familiar with Asma in the original work, may

He will also become a passerby, and Asuma will no longer have that "fire" loincloth around his waist.

........

In the dark basement at the root, Danzo, who was covered in bandages, lightly tapped his crutch and asked coldly: "Is everything done?"

"The scroll has been replaced!"

As Danzo's cold words fell, an ANBU wearing a patterned cat mask flashed out, half-kneeling in front of Danzo and said respectfully. After speaking, the ANBU took off the patterned cat mask, and then put it on

A mask of roots.

Hearing this answer, Danzo nodded with satisfaction, a hint of sternness flashed in the corner of his eyes, and then with a wave of his hand, the ANBU walked away.

In the incident of Orochimaru's defection, Ryuyu undoubtedly gained another wave of prestige, and more and more people in the village supported Ryuyu, but this also made Danzo even more intolerant of Ryuyu being a thorn in his side.

Originally, Danzo and Orochimaru had many cooperations, and some of Orochimaru's experimental subjects were even helped by Danzo's roots to capture them.

For Orochimaru, Danzo is more of a use. He also plans to take advantage of a certain opportunity to leak the news of Orochimaru's forbidden human experiments to the Third Hokage, forcing Orochimaru to defect. But there is a premise for all this, and that is that Danzo

Hide must first clean up the information related to him in Orochimaru's hands.

However, Ryūha's action forced Orochimaru to defect in advance. With the intervention of the ANBU directly under the Hokage, a lot of information on cooperation with Orochimaru that was not destroyed in time also fell into the hands of Sarutobi Hiruzen, which also made the two

The relationship intensified to a certain extent. Through this incident, Danzo also held a grudge against Ryūha in his heart.

Especially now, the daimyo has actually sent an invitation to Kusachi Ryūha as a Guardian Ninja. If Kusachi Ryūha really becomes a Guardian Ninja and gets support from the top management of the Fire Country, then Ryūha Kusanagi's identity as the next Hokage will be almost

It's a done deal. In this regard, Danzo must take some necessary actions.
