The sky is dark and the moon is in the sky.
Konoha Outside, two beautiful figures were hidden in the dense forest, waiting for the response from their companions in the village.
"Konoha, those bastards have no intention of releasing her. Until now, there is no news at all, so we can only do it ourselves."
His delicate face was full of anger, Yugito lowered his voice, but the anger in his heart could not be extinguished even if he poured out all the Four Blues.
Cloud Hidden is both a kunoichi and they are close in age. Mabui can be said to be her rare friend in the village.
As Jinchuriki, even though the people in the village respect me, the vague alienation and the way they look at me in the dark still makes Yugito feel a little sad.
Because of this, she was eager to prove to the village that she was an excellent ninja, not a monster in people's eyes.
Not only because of the personal relationship with Mabui, but also because it was Cloud Hidden's shame that Mabui was taken away. As long as he could wash away this shame, the way Cloud Hidden ninja looked at him would change somewhat, probably...
Samui on the other side has been waiting for a long time. Once she enters the task state, her patience will be particularly sufficient.
A while passed, until a Ninja Hawk flew out from Konoha. Samui cautiously gave the order. After reading the information inside, his expression became extremely indifferent.
"The Konoha side has no intention of releasing her, so we can only invade Konoha and find a way to rescue Mabui. She is now stationed on the edge of the Uchiha Clan."
Yugito's eyes flashed, and she subconsciously recalled the humiliation of her last defeat at the hands of Hua Yue. The touch of that palm seemed to be on her straight rice-brown hair, which made her shiver a little.
"No, if that guy stays in Konoha, we will have no chance to carry out rescue operations. Let the village do something at the border to lure the guy outside Land of Fire before we start."
After pondering for a moment, Samui's eyes suddenly lit up and he mentioned an old incident to Yugito.
"I remember that according to the information obtained from the village, Uchiha Hanazuki's teacher is a disciple of Sannin and Orochimaru who have defected."
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Yugito didn't know what Samui meant, so he signaled her not to be pretentious and speak quickly.
"Recently, there is information in the village that Orochimaru seems to have joined a rather strange ninja organization named Akatsuki. The last place he appeared was near Land of Grass."
Yugito is not the type who can't turn around easily. When he heard this, he immediately understood what Samui meant.
"Orochimaru is the rebellious ninja of Konoha. Once Konoha appears, the side must not ignore it. Now in Konoha, the only ninja who can kill the legendary Sannin is Flash Phantom Moon, who is as famous as Yellow Flash..."
The two of them put their thoughts together and quickly encrypted their thoughts in a secret code and sent them back to Kumogakure.
"Wait, just wait patiently. As long as Flash Phantom Moon leaves, even if Konoha's side sends hundreds of Anbu, they will not be Two-Tails's opponent!"
Their eyes met, and their eyes flickered with excitement. Once the mission was completed, not only would Cloud Hidden's shame be washed away, but important information might also be obtained from Konoha.
As the days Tenten passed, Konoha inside, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked worriedly at the little Naruto in the crystal ball, with an expression of helplessness and pain.
"Every day apart from eating, sleeping, and practicing, I am alone in a daze, and my peers are unwilling to interact with her. Although no one is exposed to Nine-Tails in Naruto's body, the attitude of adults will also unconsciously affect children."
As Third Hokage, he also has a lot of government affairs that need to be handled every day. He does not have time to keep an eye on Naruto, nor can he help Naruto integrate into the circle of other children.
With Nine-Tails by his side, and the talents of Kushina and Minato, it stands to reason that as long as Naruto grows up and becomes an outstanding ninja like Minato, he might also be able to control Nine-Tails in the future.
However, if he continues to be so isolated and does not integrate into the group, it is difficult to guarantee whether Naruto will develop a dislike for the village in the future.
Even if he is Third Hokage, he cannot force the children in the village to become friends with Naruto. Friendships mixed with impurities are destined to cause cracks and filth.
Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen walked to the rooftop and overlooked Konoha below.
As people age, they will miss the past and old relationships, and therefore lack the sense of security they deserve.
Uchiha Clan's actions were like a stick in his throat, and the battle between the Hyuga Clan Main Family and Branch Family was even more troublesome for Sarutobi Hiruzen. The only thing that could give him a sense of comfort were those young shoots that thrived.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Xu knocked on the door, and a familiar voice sounded behind him.
"Third Hokage Master, do you have something to ask me about?"
Looking back, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a little at ease with the power revealed by his distinctive dumpling nose, a small sword on his back, and those scarlet eyes.
If the power represented by Uchiha Hanazuki is unrest and chaos, then the feeling Sarutobi given by the Uchiha Shisui in front of me is the feeling given to me by my old escort friend Kagami Uchiha.
He put aside his sectarian views and devoted himself to the village with all his strength. Although Kagami Uchiha died in the mission, his blood still remains in the village.
"Shisui, please excuse me. Uchiha Clan's recent movements have not become strange because of the arrival of the Hyuga Branch Family."
Shisui bowed his head and said yes, reporting the situation one by one during this period, until he mentioned the commotion within the Uchiha Clan, and when Fugaku suppressed it, the worry in his heart became more intense.
"The commotion has been suppressed and Uchiha Hanazuki has done nothing. That's fine. Peace is the most important thing. I hope this peace can..."
Before Sarutobi Hiruzen could sigh, Shisui suddenly spoke, which made Sarutobi feel slightly better before falling into the abyss again.
"Sir Third Hokage, for some reason, some information has been flowing into the Uchiha Clan recently. It is said that the rebel ninja Orochimaru has joined an organization outside the village. His name is Akatsuki, and he once appeared near Land of Grass."
The long-lost name reappeared, touching on the past that Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't want to recall. But even if he no longer wanted to face it, as Third Hokage, he still had to deal with events that might endanger the village.
"Orochimaru, that guy is not honest even if he leaves the village. Do you know anything about Xiao, Anbu?"
"Akatsuki is just a little-known small ninja organization, but for some reason, there are rumors recently that the leader of Akatsuki is Rinnegan..."
A cold light suddenly shot out from his cloudy old eyes. Third Hokage frowned, feeling incredulous.
"Rinnegan? The legendary pupil technique of Sage of Six Paths. Is there anyone in this world who really possesses Rinnegan?"
Thoughts were swirling in my mind, and various plans flashed through my mind. Finally, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed deeply, feeling that my old arms and legs couldn't bear the erosion of time.
"Excuse me, Shisui, give this information to Uchiha Hanazuki, he will be interested."
