Naruto: This Uchiha is too innocent.

The moment Shinnosuke arrived, he saw from afar the scene of the tiger being stabbed in the back with a kunai by Fuuka.

In an instant, he glared like a wrathful Vajra, his speed increasing dramatically once more, and the shuriken in his hand flew out.

"Sword Shadow Clone in Hand"

Thousands of shuriken hurtled towards the smoke and dust. This technique was a ninjutsu developed by Hiruzen Sarutobi against shadow clones. Although it was called shadow clones, each shuriken actually possessed lethality.

As Hiruzen Sarutobi's son, he naturally learned this move as well.

Sensing the approaching killing intent, Fengyan's expression changed slightly, and he quickly retreated to the side. However, he was still a step too slow, and several shuriken caused wounds to his legs, causing him to groan.

It must be said that Shinnosuke's strength is indeed very strong. Among so many shuriken, he can still control each one with precision, and none of them hit the tiger.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the members of the Dark Guard landed beside Tiger.

"Captain, you're finally here." Tiger gave a wretched smile, breathed a sigh of relief, and could no longer hold on, collapsing straight backward.

The eagle caught him just in time, pulled aside his clothes to check the wound, and while treating it with his palm magic, said, "The injury is very serious and must be treated as soon as possible."

"I'll do it," Tsunade suddenly said, and then, in front of everyone, she placed the slug on the eagle's back, and the slug quickly began to work.

"Thank you," Shinnosuke said.

"You were injured while saving me, it's nothing," Tsunade replied. "Now, what should we do with this person?" she asked, pointing at Fuuka.

After the arrival of the Dark Guard, the roles of offense and defense shifted, and now it was Fengyan who was at a disadvantage.

Seeing that everyone's attention was on her, Fengyan cursed under her breath. How could this group arrive so quickly? This speed meant that every move they made was likely to be under the arrows of the other side.

Moreover, "Why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet?" he thought to himself, his face grim.

"If you're thinking of the Chunin who went out to call for help not long ago, then I'm sorry, he's already dead." Tiger was so perceptive that he guessed what Fengyan was thinking just by looking at her expression.

Upon hearing this, Fengyan's heart sank, and she subtly took a few steps back.

Now that things had come to this, he understood that it was impossible to kill Tsunade in front of this group. Shinnosuke alone was an extremely difficult opponent, not to mention the other elite Chunin.

I sighed inwardly.

This was a golden opportunity to severely damage Konoha, but unfortunately, Takigakure failed to seize it. They did not expect the reinforcements from Konoha to arrive so quickly.

After releasing them, Takigakure will likely suffer significant damage to quell the Land of Fire's anger.

He gave Tsunade a deep look, said nothing, and quietly left...

One of the ANBU members wanted to give chase, but Shinnosuke stopped him.

"This is Takigakure Village. We are not strong enough to rival a village," Shinnosuke said calmly. "Our mission was to rescue Tsunade, and now that we have achieved our goal, there's no need to cause any more trouble."

"The rest is up to the daimyo to decide."

Upon hearing this, the several members of the secret service who were eager to try their luck calmed down.

Shinnosuke turned to Tsunade and asked, "Tsunade, are you alright?"

Tsunade waved her hand. "I won't die."

Given her fiery temper, leaving like this would be too pathetic. After all, she had been hiding for almost two days. However, she also knew that with just a few of them, they were still too inexperienced to compete with the entire Takigakure village.

"Tsunade, have you seen anyone...?" Uzuki Kazunari finally couldn't help but ask. He had looked around as soon as he arrived, but hadn't seen any familiar figures.

Seeing the devastation of Uchiha Sora and Kakuzu's battle not long ago filled him with unease.

Shinnosuke glanced at him indifferently, but didn't say anything; his gaze was inexplicably profound.

After hearing Uzuki Kaze's description, Tsunade smiled and said, "Don't worry, that brat isn't dead. I've hidden him away."

As she spoke, she led everyone to the place where Uchiha Sora was hiding.

Seeing the boy in front of her, covered in wounds and unconscious, a look of heartache flashed in Uzuki Kazunari's eyes. She quickly checked his injuries and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that he was still breathing. She then quickly picked him up.

Shinnosuke took in Uzuki Kazunari's expression, moved his lips but said nothing. As for why Uzuki Kazunari was so kind to Uchiha Sora, he knew some of Uzuki Kazunari's personal circumstances, so he understood.

However, upon seeing Uchiha Sora's severe injuries, he suddenly recalled the cave he had seen not long ago, where not a single section was intact. At first, he had assumed Tsunade had caused that scene, but seeing Uchiha Sora in this state, an absurd guess suddenly arose in his mind.

Could it be... that destructive power was caused by Uchiha Sora? But he was so young...

He remembered the task his father had given him.

While training Uchiha Sora, he also recruited him and made him a trustworthy person.

Now, he suddenly realized that even though Uchiha Sora had been in the Anbu for more than a month, he seemed to know nothing about him at all.

A strange feeling stirred within me, but this was not the time to dwell on it. I could only put it aside for now and return to Konoha to think about it later.

"Tsunade, is she still able to move around freely?" Shinnosuke asked.

After receiving Tsunade's affirmative answer, Shinnosuke nodded slightly. "Eagle, you carry Tiger on your back, Monkey, you take care of Seven. Return to Konoha. If you encounter any enemies, there's no need to fight."

"yes!"

#

The return journey to Konoha was marred by a minor incident. While leaving the back mountain, they encountered a group of Takigakure ninja who had ambushed them. Fortunately, most of them were genin and chunin.

With everyone's tacit cooperation, they quickly killed several genin, opened a gap in the encirclement, and left Takigakure before the enemy jonin arrived.

The villagers of Takigakure watched the departing figures of the Anbu members and fell into silence.

They went to great lengths, sending thousands of soldiers, only to have the enemy escape while many of their own men died.

"Junior Ninja Kazeen." At that moment, someone noticed Kazeen rushing over. He glanced at her and said worriedly, "Junior Ninja Kazeen, your leg..."

Fuuka looked down and saw that the wound Shinnosuke had inflicted on him earlier hadn't been bandaged yet, causing him to walk unsteadily. He waved his hand.

"The mission has failed. Everyone, retreat."

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, and someone hesitated before saying, "Hero's Water..."

"They're gone. They took them with them," Feng Yan said calmly.

"But,"

"I said, the mission failed, don't you understand?" Fengyan spoke again, her eyes devoid of any emotion.

The man felt a chill run down his spine, shuddered, and dared not speak again. He felt that the Wind and Smoke Ninja was terrifying at this moment, with huge waves surging in his calm eyes.

Feeling a bit irritable, Fengyan rolled out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.

Tsunade has returned safely, so their pledge of allegiance to the Land of Earth is gone. Now they will have to bear the wrath of the Land of Fire.

But that's none of his business; let Daiming worry about it.

"Jonin of the Wind and Smoke Sect," at that moment, a Chunin rushed over, his face pale.

"explain."

"Just now, we discovered four corpses whose hearts had been removed."

Upon hearing this, Feng Yan paused, stubbed out the cigarette in his hand, and knew that there was only one way to die: having one's heart ripped out.

"Four hearts... Could it be that Kakuzu died four times?"
