Ten minutes later, the four-person team gathered in the task assembly room!
Captain Guren led the team in front and jumped out of the window in an instant. The rest was followed closely by one person, moving quickly on the roof and heading northeast along the houses, which was the direction of Land of Hot Water. Ww WOM
On the rooftops under the setting sun, a few black shadows suddenly appeared on the street and disappeared in a flash. People shopping on the street often felt that their eyes were darkened, and then their eyes returned to brightness in an instant. The extremely short gap made them unable to notice it at all.
Black shadows kept flashing on the roofs. After the four teams advanced for twenty minutes, the houses gradually became sparse, and a large forest appeared in front of them. They had reached the edge of Konoha, and they could leave Konoha immediately!
At the end of the setting sun, a slim figure in black clothing sat on the curved eaves!
The black ink-like silk is dancing in the wind, and her feet are dangling in the air, as if she is looking at the sky in the distance. The delicate profile like a porcelain doll, and the orange light at the end of the silhouette, seem to be a beautiful ink painting of the sunset.
This girl is...
Uchiha Kaoru.
Sato Hideaka, who was jumping quickly on the roof, was a little confused as to why Uchiha Kaoru appeared outside the Uchiha settlement. You must know that this place is not far away from the Uchiha settlement in the southeast corner.
Shaking his head to throw away the question, he ignored it and continued to follow Guren's pace toward the northeast--
Although the twelve Anbu Ninja on the roof were hidden from the sight of ordinary people below the street, there were a lot of people after all, and as a ninja, Uchiha Kaoru was sitting on the eaves of a very high roof, so they quickly spotted this group of Anbu Ninja running on the roof...
With so many people, this is at least an A-level mission!
Uchiha Kaoru sighed slightly and was about to look away when suddenly a figure with green arrogance appeared in the crowd. His short height was particularly eye-catching among the crowd of about 1.7 meters.
Eight Inner Gates Formation...
This person is Sato Hideaka...
Frowning slightly, Uchiha Kaoru suddenly turned into a blue electric light, and his figure flew past the roofs of the houses. His rapid speed brought up a gust of wind, and he quickly approached Anbu's twelve-man team.
"Captain, there is someone approaching quickly from the eight o'clock direction!"
Suddenly, a sensory ninja who was jumping on the roof shook his body in mid-air and shouted loudly to Guren in front of him.
Such a guy is still so vigilant at Konoha?
Sato Hideaka glanced at the man who spoke. He was wearing a mouse mask and his body was covered by a black windbreaker. He looked very mysterious. Judging from what he just said, he should be a sentient ninja.
Guren's footsteps suddenly stopped and stopped on a roof. The remaining eleven people were evenly distributed around the roof. Although a few people looked towards the eight o'clock direction, there were still six people watching the surroundings vigilantly to guard against being attacked.
Uchiha Kaoru's figure with a blue electric light instantly landed on the opposite roof. He nodded slightly to Guren and said, "Sir Guren, I have some personal matters with Sato Hideaka that I need to talk about."
Private matters...
Anbu actually has personal matters to discuss during the mission?
Under Cat Mask, Guren frowned slightly, but thinking of the other party's identity, he still said coldly, "Okay, but there is only five minutes. We have ten people waiting for him here, and this mission is very important. Please hurry up."
"Okay, I won't delay you too long."
Uchiha Kaoru slightly arched her waist, and her long, supple legs fell down from her shoulders due to her movement.
Among the crowd, Sato Hideaka was stunned for a moment, looked at the other person and motioned for him to follow, and then jumped away. He followed the other person's back and ran about 150 meters on the roof of the building before stopping.
"Hideaka, thank you very much for what happened last time. If it weren't for your reminder, I'm afraid I would have died under the attack of Cloud Shadow Assassin."
Uchiha Kaoru looked at the figure in front of him. The short figure was wearing a mask with a monkey face. It did seem a bit funny. The corners of his mouth were slightly curved. It seemed that the original melancholy and confused mood suddenly lightened a lot.
Under Monkey Mask, Sato Hideaka curled his lips, waved his hands and said, "Thanks to Lord Third that time, if he hadn't sent Anbu for support, I'm afraid even if I knew this information, it would be useless."
"Of course I want to thank Lord Third, but I think you should be more grateful. After all, you have saved me twice." Uchiha Kaoru gently touched the length of his chest and sighed slightly.
"Haha, if you insist on thanking me, it would be nice to treat me to a big meal when I come back." Sato Hideaka laughed and said.
A hint of smile suddenly appeared on Uchiha's innocent face, "If Mr. Hideaka is willing to show your face, of course I am willing to treat you."
Sato Hideaka was stunned. He didn't expect that Uchiha Kaoru actually agreed. He nodded subconsciously and said, "Then it's a deal. Well, if there is nothing else, then I will leave first. My colleagues are still waiting for me."
Seeing Uchiha Kaoru suddenly silent for a moment as if in acquiescence, Sato Hideaka turned around and was about to leave, when Uchiha Kaoru suddenly trembled slightly but said in an excited voice, "I want to know that to continue the responsibility of the family, does everyone need to make their own sacrifices to bear it? Mr. Hideaka, can you tell me the answer?"
"I'm really confused now. I don't know what the future will be like. I can't even decide who I will spend my life with in the future. Do I need my future and happiness to carry my family's future and rights and make sacrifices?"
Sato Hideaka turned around, and saw that Uchiha Kaoru's shoulders seemed to be shaking a little, and there was a sad and confused look in his black eyes. His thin body stood in the cold wind, like a flower that was about to wither, and he seemed to have a lot of grievances in his heart.
Sato Hideaka narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking of his own experience of being threatened by Gen, and gave his answer in a calm tone:
"Why, since you enjoy the rights and conveniences brought by the family, you need to fulfill corresponding responsibilities to repay the family. However, people do not necessarily need to sacrifice their own happiness or go against their own wishes to fulfill this responsibility. When you show certain value and ability, these can be changed."
"To put it simply, your vision and pattern are only on Uchiha, so you can't escape the shackles Uchiha brings to you. When you are strong enough, Uchiha's responsibilities can be fulfilled in another way."
Being strong can change everything.
I am unable to change all this, is it because my pattern is not enough?
Uchiha Kaoru remembered what happened two months ago. When Cloud Village returned home from the assassination, her father Uchiha Toyama suddenly told her in a decisive tone: Uchiha needed to ensure a good bloodline, so she must marry the best Uchiha man.
This is Uchiha's practice. In order to ensure that Uchiha has a pure bloodline, especially for a purebred Uchiha with a noble bloodline like her, this rule must be fulfilled. The purpose is to give birth to a baby with pure bloodline for the Uchiha Clan and to protect the powerful Kekkei Genkai, Sharingan.
Even her grandfather, who loved her the most, also held such an attitude. It seemed that everyone in Uchiha except her had already decided that she would marry another talent from Uchiha - Uchiha Kenichi!
Uchiha Kenichi, how is that possible!
***************
Under the big tree illuminated by the sun are soil and roots, in the secret underground base of Konoha.
Shimura Danzō was sitting in the dark hall, raising his chin with one hand and looking coldly at the several Root ninjas kneeling on the ground below. His tone was extremely cold. "You mean, Hatake Sakumo did not appear in his usual place during the Genin elite test, and he did not go out of the village to perform special tasks, right?"
"Leader, according to our secret investigation, Hatake Sakumo is indeed moving strangely, and we don't know his specific whereabouts, so, so..."
"No need to do that, Konoha can enter the "root" and steal Unsealing Scroll. Besides Hatake Sakumo, there are several people with such strength who dare to sneak in secretly while I am attending the meeting. Enter the "root"..." Danzo's expression began to twist, and there was endless killing intent in his eyes. "Sakumo, no matter whether you are Minister Anbu, but you have violated my taboo."
"Since you can complete the mission 100% every time, this mission will allow you, who was born in a samurai family, to make a choice: continue to choose to complete the mission perfectly, or choose to abandon the honor that once belonged to the Hatake Clan with your comrades."
