The back mountain?
Han Guang was stunned.
Could it be that the village thought Orochimaru was responsible for the explosion in the back mountain?
That's unlikely.
He's already fleeing?
"It's very complicated in there, you don't need to know."
Minato Namikaze said again.
"Also, the village has just received a new order to re-register the information of every ninja."
"Re-register ninja information?"
"That's right, so currently, no ninja in the village can leave."
This!
Han Guang was speechless.
The border had been breached, and the village's higher-ups wanted to register information at a time like this?
Wasn't that a joke?
Of course, this had nothing to do with him, a mere Genin.
The only thing Han Guang couldn't understand was, could the explosion in the back mountain really cause Orochimaru to defect?
There was no connection between the two!
Minato Namikaze left.
Team 9 gathered and started to discuss.
"What did you find in the back mountain last night?" Han Guang asked Kakashi and Obito.
"A huge crater, the whole mountaintop was blown up!" Obito said dramatically.
"And there was a passage guarded by Anbu, we couldn't get close," Kakashi added.
"A passage? Where?" Han Guang's expression shifted.
"On the shady side, surrounded by rubble."
The shady side, a passage?
Han Guang stroked his chin, lost in thought.
He remembered encountering Danzo on the shady side of the back mountain before.
Combined with Orochimaru's sudden departure from the front lines, it wasn't hard to guess--
That passage likely led to Orochimaru's secret laboratory.
If it were a regular laboratory, Orochimaru wouldn't have needed to run.
"The laboratory must have involved many illegal things!"
"For example, the corpses of ninjas from various clans?"
Han Guang guessed that only under such circumstances could Orochimaru abandon his position as commander and flee early in the morning.
Because he had offended the entire village!
"So, this is because of me?"
Han Guang looked up at the sky, a faint sadness flashing through his heart.
He felt he couldn't be blamed for this.
If anyone was to blame, it was Orochimaru!
Because he had merely inadvertently exposed Orochimaru's crimes! He should be a hero.
And Orochimaru, as the commander on the front lines, had fled without a word, causing the entire front line to collapse.
Orochimaru was the greatest sinner!
Afternoon.
Team 9 was summoned to the Hokage's office to re-register their identities.
To Han Guang's surprise, the person in charge of the registration was not the Hokage, but Danzo.
After Team 9 finished registering, Han Guang, who was walking last, was called back.
"Han Guang, wait a moment!"
Danzo said in a deep voice, gesturing.
"Uh? Does Lord Danzo need something?" Han Guang asked, looking confused.
"Are you willing to join Root and become a spy?" Danzo's voice was low.
"Join Root? A spy?"
Han Guang was stunned.
"You want me to be a spy? Danzo, aren't you afraid I'll end up taking you down while I'm at it?"
Scratching his head, Han Guang thought seriously for a moment.
"So, where am I supposed to be a spy?"
"Continue staying in Team 9 and monitor Minato Namikaze!"
Chapter 40: Double Agent! The Battlefield Begins to Unfold!
Walking out of the Hokage's office, Han Guang appeared somewhat somber.
"Hey, what did Lord Danzo say to you? Was it a mission?"
Obito sidled up, looking like a curious child.
"Nothing."
Han Guang lacked enthusiasm and left alone.
"Huh? He's acting strange." Rin wondered.
Normally, Han Guang had an indifferent attitude, but just now, he seemed a bit dejected.
"Maybe he got scolded," Kakashi guessed.
In the yard.
Back home, Han Guang lay on a wooden chair, looking preoccupied.
Half an hour later.
His expression shifted, and he looked in a certain direction.
"Damn it, I've been pretending for so long."
At this moment, Han Guang no longer showed any sign of dejection.
"I can't go see Teacher Minato yet, because I'm not sure if Danzo has sent out other spies."
With that thought, he returned to his room, took out paper and pen, and began recording the characteristics of the Gravity Sphere.
"First, this technique requires an enormous amount of Chakra."
"Second, once the Gravity Sphere is thrown, it immediately releases a terrifying gravitational force, attracting and pulling everything around it."
"Third, I myself will not be affected by this gravitational force and can even transmit Chakra remotely."
"Fourth, once I stop transmitting Chakra, the Gravity Sphere will immediately explode."
"Fifth, the exploding Gravity Sphere does not distinguish between friend or foe; even I, as the caster, must escape its blast radius."
He stopped writing and reread it.
Then, he crumpled the paper into a ball and burned it.
The characteristics of this technique were already memorized; there was no need to leave evidence.
Noon.
Han Guang put his hands in his pockets and went out onto the street.
He bought a few skewers of dumplings and ambled his way to the residential area.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
He knocked on Kushina's door, but there was no response.
"I forgot, Senior Kushina should be at the bathhouse."
Happy Hot Springs!
As Han Guang walked into the establishment, his eyes were blinded by the light.
