Konoha
Star Clan land
"Xingya, Xingguang, Xingkong, you three, come out!"
Following the Star Clan leader's order, the Star Clan ninjas stood in a row, and three men walked out.
"The rest of you, please disperse!" After the clan leader said that, the crowd quickly dispersed, leaving only three people standing there in a daze.
"Master Shikaku, Master Kakashi, the three of them are the strongest ninjas in our clan. Even by the standards of Five Great Nations, they are qualified. Rated as Jonin." The Star Clan patriarch turned to Shikaku Nara and Kakashi beside him and bowed slightly, saying with a smile on his face.
After Kakashi Hatake looked at the three of them, he made a gesture to Shikaku Nara.
Shikaku Nara nodded, cleared his throat slightly, and said seriously:
"Three of you, I'm asking the clan leader to pick out the three of you today."
"Just because the three of them are the strongest among the Star Clan."
"Here is a task assigned by Lord Hokage himself. The difficulty can be set as S-Rank. The risk index is relatively high and requires a strong person to complete it. The task is not mandatory. If any of you want to refuse, you can submit it now." After Shikaku Nara said it, he paused temporarily and looked around the three of them.
The three of them looked at each other and replied in unison, "I am willing to die for Lord Hokage!"
The three of them had all made contributions in the previous battle against Sunagakure. After returning to Konoha, they were not only praised by the villagers, but were also personally received by Lord Hokage and awarded bonuses.
When the clan land was distributed, the real estate of the three people was also the largest. Their families all lived a good life that they had never had before in Hoshigakure. They all knew who had guaranteed all this for them, so naturally they would not back down.
Shikaku Nara nodded with satisfaction, signaled the Star Clan leader to avoid it with his eyes, and then dictated the contents of the task.
"Three of you, the content of this mission is that the three of you carry Lord Hokage's special Kunai and fly to a high altitude of Iwagakure. There is no requirement to go deep into the enemy village, as long as you ensure that the Kunai is thrown into Iwagakure!"
"There is no combat mission, retreat immediately after throwing!"
"The time for action is tonight, when Minister Kakashi's Anbu Ninja will escort you to the Land of Fire border, and the rest will be left to you!" Kakashi on the side nodded, and Shikaku Nara took out several Kunais engraved with marks from the scroll and handed them to the three of them.
"Understood! The mission will definitely be completed!"
The three of them took Kunai in unison and bowed to them.
Soon, following the sunny weather, a secret team, under the protection of Anbu Ninja, rushed towards the northwest direction where Land of Fire and Land of Grass border.

in a bamboo forest
A figure is lying on a hammock made of crossed young bamboos, hanging out one leg leisurely and shaking continuously.
The man is a handsome young man with long bangs. The light blue robe he is wearing is half open, exposing a large area of white muscles on his chest. He looks like a playboy.
Utakata is holding a long straw made of reeds in his hand, and is blowing bubbles one after another at the moment.
The beautiful Utakata reflected colorful sunlight in mid-air, and then suddenly burst, leaving only a water stain.
He didn't know the meaning of doing this, but he wanted to do it. Maybe, this burst bubble was just like his life, and he never knew when it would burst.
Utakata never imagined that his master Harusame would actually want to kill him. He obviously respected him so much! But he wanted to extract Tailed Beasts from Utakata's body. Who doesn't know what will happen if Jinchuriki is extracted from Tailed Beasts?
For this reason, he left Kirigakure and became a rebel ninja.
How unpredictable things are!
Just when Utakata was immersed in painful memories, the bubbles he blew suddenly shattered in an instant, and a drop of water fell on his forehead.
Immediately after this, Utakata sensed two auras exuding strong malice.
"Who is that?" Utakata jumped off his bamboo hammock and looked around.
No one answered him.
He was answered by a violent strong wind.
The originally dense bamboo forest was cut into debris on the ground by several wind blades in an instant.
The figures of Tobirama Senju and Uchiha Itachi appeared one after another in front of Utakata.
There were too many bamboos, and they blocked the road and blocked the view. Tobirama Senju simply released Wind Release to chop them all down.
"Who are you two? Are Kirigakure here to hunt down my people?" Utakata raised the straw in his hand and asked the two of them.
"Why is this the same problem every time..." Tobirama Senju paused slightly, but did not mean to hide it, and said:
"I am Tobirama Senju from Konoha. The purpose of coming here is to capture Six-Tails Jinchuriki, which is you."
Utakata couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that the other party was so straightforward. After a long time, he slowly said:
"You must be the Second Hokage who came back from the dead. I've heard of you, but I didn't expect that the rumors that you want to collect Tailed Beasts are actually true..."
"However, I am not the kind of person who will sit still and wait for death!"
After that, he raised the reed straw in his hand and blew out a large piece of Utakata the size of a human head.
"Water Release·Bubble Technique!"
When Mangekyō Sharingan lit up in Uchiha Itachi's eyes, Utakata had fallen to the ground unconscious.
Tobirama Senju raised his head and glanced at the sky.
The sunset in the distance has begun to slowly set.
When thinking back to tonight's arrangements, Tobirama Senju stopped thinking about continuing to collect Tailed Beasts.
Currently, One-Tail, Four-Tails, Six-Tails, Seven-Tails, Nine-Tails's Jinchuriki are all under the control of Konoha.
Akatsuki kidnapped Five-Tails, Three-Tails's predecessor Jinchuriki Karatachi Yagura died not long ago, Three-Tails It is still in the resurrection stage. The remaining Two-Tails and Eight-Tails are both Perfect Jinchuriki, and they are well protected in Kumogakure, making it inconvenient to start.
When I brought Utakata back to Konoha, the sky had already darkened.
"Lord Hokage, you are back!"
Shikaku Nara paced around the office anxiously. It was not until Tobirama Senju and Uchiha Itachi suddenly appeared that he breathed a sigh of relief.
Putting down Utakata on his shoulders, Tobirama Senju said, "Shikaku, this is Six-Tails Jinchuriki of Kirigakure, switch it with those separate ones."
"Yes." Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Shikaku Nara glanced in surprise. In just two days, Lord Hokage had actually captured three Jinchuriki! He would soon catch up with the legendary First Hokage!
"Shikaku, how are the arrangements for the preparations for you?" Tobirama Senju raised his eyebrows. He could feel several coordinate points of Flying Thunder God moving rapidly.
"Everything is ready. Calculating the time, we should be close to Iwagakure." Shikaku Nara nodded to Tobirama Senju.
"Okay! Let Iwagakure have a big drink tonight! Itachi, you've worked hard these past two days, go down and rest first!" Tobirama Senju patted the table, turned around and said to Uchiha Itachi.
After Uchiha Itachi resigned, the remaining two people stared at the clock on the wall that kept ringing.
