Chapter 215: ***

Whoosh... whoosh...

Yemo raised his hand and shot out several Kunai without even checking Kunai they hit the bullseye. He turned to Shikaku and asked, "You said something huge happened in the village yesterday."

Several muffled thuds followed as Yemo's Kunai all hit their bullseye, but neither Yemo nor Shikaku paid any attention to this area.

Slowly turning the Kunai in his hand, Shikaku recounted, "Just last night, my dad was about to go to sleep when a member of the Anbu suddenly appeared. This Anbu said something to my dad, and then my dad's expression changed drastically. Without saying a word, he grabbed his coat and hurriedly left."

As soon as he finished speaking, accompanied by several whooshing sounds, Shikaku raised his hand and shot out the Kunai in his hand, hitting the bullseye perfectly.

"Not bad, huh?" Yemo exclaimed, looking at the Kunai that had hit the bullseye. After a pause, Yemo continued, "Do you know exactly what happened?"

Shikaku took out another Kunai, tossed it gently, and shook his head, saying, "I don't know the specifics, but judging from my dad's expression, something huge must have happened. He was busy all night this morning and came back looking like he was facing a major crisis."

"Even your father is like that, it seems something really big has happened," Yemo nodded thoughtfully.

The Nara Clan's successors have all inherited the Nara Clan's extremely high intelligence. Therefore, the Nara Clan's patriarch usually mentors the Lord Third. As a result, Shikaku's father is the Third's assistant and deputy. Basically, any task that the Lord Third needs to handle must be screened by his father before it can be handed over to the Third.

At the same time, Shikaku's father was also Konoha's strategist. Many times, even the Third would consult Shikaku's father on matters, especially major ones. In fact, Nara's father was one of Konoha's high-ranking officials, and his opinions largely reflected those of the higher-ups.

Even Nara's father was on high alert, which shows that something truly momentous had happened in the village.

Just then, Yemo and Nara simultaneously heard a whooshing sound. Looking up, they saw a figure land on the ground with a whoosh—it was none other than Inoichi!

"Inoichi? What brings you here? We asked you to come here to practice throwing Kunai, but you didn't want to come?" Shikaku asked in confusion.

Originally, Shikaku had planned to invite Inoichi come here today to practice throwing Kunai, but Inoichi said he had something to do and couldn't come, so Shikaku came alone. However, he ran into Yemo on the way and called Yemo. Yemo happened to be free too, so he accompanied Shikaku.

However, Inoichi looked anxious and breathed heavily, saying, "You two are still practicing throwing Kunai here? Don't you know what terrible thing has happened?"

Upon hearing this, Yemo and Shikaku's expressions changed immediately, and they subconsciously exchanged a glance. It seemed that the matter that had made Shikaku's father so alarmed last night had already spread.

"What exactly happened?" Yemo couldn't help but ask.

After catching his breath, Inoichi finally calmed down and waved his hand, saying, "This can't be explained in a short time. Let's go to the Hokage's office first, and I'll explain it to you two in detail on the way."

So, Yemo and Shikaku quickly packed their things and followed Inoichi to the Hokage's office.

On the way, Inoichi explained to them what had happened. Shikaku's guess was right; something truly enormous had occurred, something that shocked Yemo.

This momentous event was Might Duy's battle against the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure. After hearing Inoichi's explanation, Yemo Mo immediately connected it with the incident last night when he and Kakashi saw Might Guy while strolling on the street.

No wonder he was so anxious last night; it turns out it was because of this. So, the person lying on that stretcher was the deceased Might Duy, Yemo thought to himself.

Might Duy's father, Might Guy, served as Genin twenty years. Even Yemo had heard of Might Duy's name. Yemo knew of Might Duy's strength, and perhaps when he heard someone mocking Might Duy, Yemo was often very disdainful.

Might Duy was Genin, but after twenty years of rigorous training in Taijutsu, he mastered the forbidden technique 'Eight Gates Released Formation,' and at his full power, even the Third was no match for him.

In the manga, Might Duy, Genma Shiranui, Ebisu, who were surrounded by the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, opened the final Eight Gates, the Gate of Death, and entered the Eight Gates Released Formation. This caused the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist to become a trio. Obviously, reality did not deviate from the manga. Although he, the little butterfly that entered Hokage, changed some things by flapping his wings a few times, the general direction of the events in the manga did not change.

Yemo found it a bit strange. Although Might Duy reduced the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist to a trio, it shouldn't have been such a huge event that it would shake the entire Konoha. After all, it's quite common for ninjas to encounter ninjas from other villages during missions, resulting in clashes and even killings.

Shaking their heads to banish the thoughts from their minds, they had arrived at the Hokage's office building.

At this moment, many ninjas entered the building. Obviously, these ninjas, like Yemo and the others, had received the same notification. Chōza was already waiting for Yemo and the others outside. The four of them met up and, without exchanging more than a few words, quickly entered the building.

Inside the building's conference hall, there were more ninjas who had received the notification than Yemo had imagined. In the huge conference hall, hundreds of ninjas were discussing something in small groups. The noise was so loud that Yemo couldn't hear what they were saying. However, one thing was certain: all the ninjas had very unpleasant expressions.

Yemo quickly scanned the hall and spotted Kakashi in a corner, leaning against the wall alone, reading a novel.

Because of his father's suicide due to misunderstanding with his companions, Kakashi became taciturn and had few friends. The only one he got along with was probably Yemo. As for Shikaku other two, they were on good terms with Kakashi because of Yemo.

Yemo strode over and asked directly, "How is it, Kakashi? You're here so early, did you get any special news?"

"There's nothing special in the news, just talk about how Might Duy almost wiped out the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist yesterday," Kakashi noticed as soon as Yemo and the others came in. Seeing Yemo approach, Kakashi put away the novel he was reading.

Yemo glanced casually at the novel Kakashi was reading. To be clear, it was a casual glance, but he noticed a few large, bright red characters on the page.

***!!!

Upon seeing these three words, Yemo was immediately dumbfounded, his face filled with disbelief.

It was actually ***! He actually saw *** in Hokage! ***, what a familiar and nostalgic name! Back then, it was those 'selfless' teachers from *** who gave countless innocent boys unforgettable lessons in their enlightenment. Later, they became the object of pursuit for countless otaku. Thinking back to those days, so dashing and heroic, Yemo was also a man with 8GB of torrents. His college roommate, who was a bit of a sly fox, was Tenten thinking about copying them.

Ahem, we've gone a bit off-topic. Seeing *** here stirred up a trace of nostalgia for Yemo's past life. The only pity is that *** wasn't supposed to be a video? How did it turn into a novel here?

"Well, even though it's a novel, I can still buy it and take a look," Yemo thought to himself with a smile.

Just as Yemo was about to ask Kakashi where he bought that ***, the next second, Yemo banished that filthy thought and thought righteously, how could he read that kind of novel, how could he associate with a sullen bastard like Kakashi? Absolutely not. He was now considered the number one genius in the Shinobi World, the boyfriend of countless girls. That kind of thing was better left out. That's right, better out.

Of course, this was just Yemo's surface thought. Yemo's real thought was that he absolutely could not ask Kakashi. If that guy found out, his lifelong reputation would be ruined.
