Water bears at the beginning, wet bone forest eating old people

Hatake Sakumo's idea was very simple. He had already read the content of the intelligence. The collusion between the Rain Ninja and the Sand Ninja was completely false and did not exist at all.

After all, think about it, these two were one of the most brutal pair in World War II. It was already very restrained that they did not continue the war. But they colluded with each other. Is it that the demigod Hanzo is spineless, or does the newly appointed Third Kazekage Haneda Zaemon want to be Hanzo's lickspittle?

Since the information is correct, it doesn't really matter whether there is evidence or not. As long as the information is brought back, the Konoha high-level officials will naturally determine the right and wrong. However, the lives of our companions are gone.

Hatake Sakumo has already quit the Anbu, and White Fang is now Konoha White Fang instead of Anbu White Fang.

He had no idea that Danzo had a secret deal and cooperation with the Rain Ninja.

In his perception at this moment, Shenda didn't seem to care about the relationship between the Rain Ninja and Konoha. As a Jonin, he didn't care even if it could cause a diplomatic backlash.

Before, he could pretend not to know and leave, but now after "analyzing" Shen Da's mentality, Hatake Sakumo couldn't just leave his teammate alone.

"Sir, let's rush out."

Behind him, another teammate looked at the teammate who had fainted with reluctance, not knowing whether he was unconscious or dead. He suggested to Hatake Sakumo.

Hatake Sakumo looked back at him, then turned back to look at Kamida.

"Let him go and I'll return the information to you."

"grown ups!"

Ignoring the Konoha ninja behind him, Hatake Sakumo was looking at the Salamander Kamada.

"What a sentimental and righteous Konoha White Fang is! He really makes me look at him with new eyes. Cold-blooded animals like us Rain Ninjas really can't stand this, hehe..."

"I agreed."

After a period of sarcasm, the Salamander Kamada actually agreed to Hatake Sakumo's request. He called the Rain Ninja who had kidnapped the unconscious Konoha ninja and came to Hatake Sakumo.

The meaning is very clear: hand over the person in one hand and the intelligence in the other.

At the gesture of the Salamander, the Rain Ninja pushed the Konoha Ninja towards Hatake Sakumo. Hatake Sakumo took the opportunity to throw the intelligence backup to the Salamander and took over the Konoha Ninja.

After a little exploration, Hatake Sakumo breathed a sigh of relief.

The chakra was sealed by some kind of Rain Ninja restriction, but there was no other major problem with the body.

This is a measure to prevent Hatake Sakumo from suddenly rising up. Even if the information is returned, the Rain Ninja is still afraid of White Fang. If this restriction is not lifted, White Fang will be too cautious and unable to take action.

"The restriction will be lifted naturally in due time. Leave here as soon as possible. I will feel sick when I see you~"

With an evil expression, Kanda sneered and disgusted Hatake Sakumo again, then he slowly retreated with the other Rain Ninjas and disappeared into the woods outside the Rain Ninja Village.

"grown ups......"

The Konoha ninja behind him felt a little disappointed. In his opinion, the mission was a failure.

The Konoha ninja in Hatake Sakumo's arms also woke up, with a look of self-blame on his face.

"I'm sorry, Master Sakumo, I've caused you trouble..."

Hatake Sakumo shook his head.

"Mission accomplished, return to the village."

"Yes" X2

......

Konoha, Hokage Building, Hokage's office.

"If you say it's done, it's done! Hatake Sakumo! Do you think you've made such a great contribution that you look down on others?"

Danzo pointed at Hatake Sakumo's nose and cursed loudly, while Hiruzen, smoking a cigarette, sighed helplessly behind his desk.

"Danzo-sama, I have read the information, and it is indeed as I said, there is no sign of collusion between the Rain and Sand Ninjas."

Hatake Sakumo argued with reason, but unfortunately, he had no evidence, only his own words.

"Asshole! Where's the evidence? Where's the information I want? If all missions are completed the way you do, then what real information will there be in the ninja world? Huh!?"

Sakumo felt depressed, but he couldn't refute it.

"Lord Danzo..."

"You have the right to speak here!?"

The rescued ninja was about to say something for Hatake Sakumo, but was immediately retorted by Danzo, and he dared not say anything.

"Mission failed, an S-rank mission, White Fang. This is your first failure. Your faith has wavered! I will watch you!"

Danzo said this sinisterly, then waved his hand and told Hatake Sakumo and two other Konoha ninjas to leave.

Hatake Sakumo said nothing more, but walked out of the Hokage's office in silence.

After Hatake Sakumo left, Sarutobi Hiruzen took two puffs of his cigarette. The smoke lingered in front of his face, and he couldn't help but squint.

"Danzo, you're going too far."

"Excessive!? Hiruzen! Are you talking to me!? This is an S-rank mission! It's not a child's play! If all the ninjas..."

"You know, that's not what I'm talking about."

Hiruzen interrupted Danzo's roar.

Danzo's arm, which was gesturing in the air, froze for a moment, then slowly lowered itself.

"I will be proven right, Hiruzen."

"What counts as wrong, what counts as right? Is it just the continuation of Konoha? Or does it include yourself, Danzo?"

Hiruzen sat forward slightly. Danzo was standing in front of the desk. The two looked at each other, Danzo looking down while Hiruzen looked up.

But Danzo was not able to suppress Hiruzen's pressure at all.

During the four years that Hiruzen had been sitting in this position, he had already learned more and understood more.

Danzo looked at Hiruzen silently for a long time before speaking.

"You are too weak, Hiruzen. As Hokage, you must let everyone know how strong you are. If you can't, I will help you in my own way."

After saying that, Danzo didn't give Hiruzen any room to refute, and left the Hokage's office with a flick of his sleeves.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was the only one left in the office, leaning back in his chair and smoking. His old eyes looked cloudy, but when he looked closer, he could see the occasional gleam of light in them.

......

On the other side, on the training ground outside Konoha Village, Minato was training hard, while Jiraiya was biting the cap of a pen on a tree branch, thinking deeply about the small notebook in his hand.

He is currently writing his first novel, titled "The Story of the Strong Ninja," also known as "The Story of the Strong Ninja" or "The Story of the Hero."

Less than half a month ago, he returned to Konoha from the Rain Village. After the three Yahiko children had only a certain ability to survive on their own, he finally remembered that he had a disciple in Konoha whom he had accepted before.

So he came back and taught Minato.

"Sensei Jiraiya! Come see the results of my training!"

Swah——

Minato shouted, and the next moment, he disappeared from where he was, and then he put a kunai on Jiraiya's neck on the branch.

"Very fast, Minato, but the movements are too big."

Bang! As he was speaking, Jiraiya, who was held by Minato, suddenly exploded into a cloud of smoke, and a stand fell to the ground with a thud.

Under the tree, Jiraiya walked out while biting the pen cap without even changing the posture of looking at the small notebook.

"You have a great sense of space. This talent for instant body movement... well, I know there's a very powerful ninjutsu invented by the Second Hokage. Do you want to try it?"

Jiraiya put away the small notebook, put the cap on the pen, and hung it on his ear with a flick of his hand, pretending to be a good 13.

"What kind of ninjutsu is that!"

Minato jumped down from the treetop in surprise and ran to Jiraiya.

"I don't know the Flying Thunder God Technique. If you want to learn it, let me think about it... Well, we'd better go visit an old guy first..."
