Naruto: Starting from Tsunade-san.

"Absolutely." Kakuzu didn't pay much attention to this piece of meteorite.

On the contrary, Qing Pheasant was very interested in it.

Through Xingyun, you can practice a secret technique called Peacock Second Technique. Its power is average, but it can fly. Generally speaking, it is a good secret technique.

But these words alone are not enough to make Aoki Pheasant truly interested.

Rather than practicing this secret technique through the meteorite, what he really cares about is the origin of the meteorite.

This piece of meteorite fell from the sky. This origin can easily make people think of the aliens from outside the world, the Otsutsuki clan.

When it comes to the Otsutsuki clan, one must also mention the Uchiha clan.

Maybe this piece of Starfall can provide him with some help. With such interest, Qing Pheasant is bound to get the Starfall.

Kakuzu followed Aokiji's advice and decided to target the Bear Country: "In that case, let's choose the Bear Country."

Qingzhi smiled and said, "That's right, then I'll leave it to you to collect information about the Bear Country."

"???" Kakuzu subconsciously thought Aokiji was with him.

Qingzhi explained: "I'm going back to the village. I haven't been back for so long. I think the village should have reacted."

Kakuzu snorted meaningfully: "I thought a guy like you would directly..."

Qingzhi interrupted: "Don't look at me like this. I am a principled person. As long as the village does not do anything to disgrace me, I will naturally not disappoint the village."

"In the final analysis, he is still a kid, and he still maintains his illusion..."

Qing Zhi shrugged: "I can go directly."

Kakuzu snorted coldly: "Let's go."

"By the way, I forgot to ask you. How can I contact you then? With your status, it will be difficult for me to find you."

Kakuzu glanced at him and told him a location and a name. This was the information of his subordinates. If you want to find him, you can go through this subordinate.

Qing Zhi nodded, neatly, turned and left.

"Wait..." Kakuzu pointed at the money on the ground.

"Leave it here for you. You can't escape anyway. You can't possibly want to make a one-time deal." Aokiji said with a smile: "Besides, without my Sharingan, it will be very troublesome to deal with some things."

Jiaodu slightly closed his eyelids and snorted: "Go away."

"See you later."

Qing Pheasant waved his hand and disappeared.

"Hmph, you little brat..."

………………

Back in the village, Aoji immediately informed Sarutobi Hiruzen of the mission situation. Of course, it was a shortened version. He didn't say anything about Kakuzu's secret techniques, just because he didn't want Konoha to lock Kakuzu's identity.

After listening to Aokiji's report, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned tightly.

A relative of a Daimyo of the Land of Fire was killed. This will definitely affect Konoha's reputation, and in serious cases, it may reduce the allocation of Konoha's military expenditure.

It would be okay if Qingzhi died together during this mission. There would still be room for mediation, and at least he would have a reputation of fighting to the death to protect him.

But the problem is that Aoki Pheasant is still alive, so it is inevitable that it will be criticized. For example, if it is afraid of the enemy, it will choose to escape, causing the death of the mission target.

Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen's hesitation, Aokiji simply asked directly: "Hokage-sama, are you wondering why I am the only one who survived?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't say anything, waiting for Aokiji to give the answer himself.

"I gave up the mission." Aokiji did not lie. There was no point in covering it up. No normal person would believe it.

More importantly, the daimyo doesn't care how difficult your mission is. They will only see the failure of the mission and then infer the process to be beneficial to them.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned. He didn't expect Aokiji to actually do it.

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked knowingly, "Why are you running away?"

"Because the enemy is very strong, I have determined that they are not opponents I can defeat. Staying here will only result in more casualties."

"So, you ran away?"

Aokiji said in a deep voice: "Are you looking for death by staying here? I have tried my best, but that is not an opponent I can defeat."

Aokiji's answer was too straightforward, and Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know how to respond for a moment.

To protect companions, choose to retreat and cover the rear. This is the political correctness of the wood industry. Even if you have to pretend, you have to pretend to be more realistic.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed: "Do you know that you have caused a big disaster this time..."

Aokiji said confidently: "I don't think I did anything wrong. I can't beat him, so I can't beat him. Things like ninja beliefs only exist in novels and comics. In reality, I naturally have to make the right choice based on reason."

"What if Tsunade and the others are part of this escort?"

"That's another matter, if it's for them I will fight to the death.

"I am an ordinary person, I cannot be as great as Hokage and spread love to everyone in the village.

"My love is small and limited. I only care about the people I care about. For them, I can abandon some rationality and even make sacrifices.

"However, if Lord Hokage wants me to sacrifice my life for the mission target and my companions who I have only met a few times, then I can only say that I am sorry. I can't do it and I don't want to do it."

Aokiji's words sounded cold, but they were actually very rational. Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed and said, "What are you waiting for?"

Aokiji was stunned for a moment, and then several figures appeared out of nowhere and came into view. These people were wearing uniform clothes, shoulder pads, forehead guards, and leggings. The only difference was that they were wearing animal masks on their faces.

When Aokiji saw these people wearing animal masks, he immediately determined their identities. They were the members of the Anbu who had always protected Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Hokage-sama, you are…"

"Aokiji, don't blame me. This is for the village."

The daimyo's relative died unexpectedly during the mission, and died while protecting Konoha. Konoha must give an explanation to the daimyo of the Fire Country.

For this reason, Sarutobi Hiruzen had no choice but to sacrifice Aokiji, imprison him, and send him to the Daimyo Prefecture.

He wanted to win over Aokiji to be the eyes that monitor the Uchiha clan, and he has always been very tolerant and generous to him.

But this tolerance is limited. There are a few things that Aokiji is not allowed to touch. Once this red line is crossed, he must enforce the law impartially.

In addition to the above-mentioned one that caused the death of the daimyo's relatives due to escaping from the mission, the other one is that the Aokiji incident is not allowed to set a precedent.

If everyone in the village has the same thinking as Aokiji, then the village will be difficult to manage.

The moment Sarutobi Hiruzen gave the order, Anbu members rushed in from all directions and surrounded them.

Aokiji was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He quickly formed seals with his hands, his cheeks puffed up, and he spit out a lot of dust forward. After landing on the ground, it spread around. The small Hokage office was suddenly shrouded in smoke, and the view was unclear.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, known as the Ninja Master, recognized this ninjutsu instantly when he saw it in a leaf.

Fire Style: Dust Hide Technique.

This is the Uchiha clan's more advanced fire-style ninjutsu.

Sarutobi Hiruzen formed seals with his hands and performed some unknown ninjutsu. The smoke that was originally filled the air disappeared without a trace in an instant, along with Aokiji's figure. It was obvious that he had run away.

Along the way, Aokiji put all his strength into running, with the Anbu chasing closely behind him.

He didn't intend to fight, and the point was, he couldn't win.

At this moment, if he didn't want to go to jail or be sent to the daimyo to apologize, then he only had one option left, to quickly ask for help from Elder Itachi!!!

(End of this chapter)

164. Chapter 164: Jail

Chapter 164 Prison

"call out."

On the house, the green pheasant stepped hard, and with the sound of stepping on the beams, its body flew into the air.

Just a little bit closer.

The blue pheasant in mid-air is trying hard to find a building. As long as it is found, there will be room for mediation in the following matters.

After a moment, a blue shuriken embossed logo came into view. If you look carefully, you can even see a pattern like a ping pong card tattooed on it.

This building is the Konoha Police Department.

This is the place that Qing Pheasant is trying so hard to find.

Elder Weasel's residence was too far away, and by the time Qingzhi arrived there, he had already been intercepted halfway.

Aoki landed at the entrance of the Konoha Police Department, and suddenly felt something strange behind him. When he looked back, he saw a huge net coming towards him.

The distance was only a few feet away, unable to dodge, and the whole body was tied to the ground by the net.

In an instant, several ANBU surrounded him.

"let me go--!"

Aokiji's loud screams attracted the attention of the Konoha security team. After a few rings, police officers came out.

"Eh? Qingzhi. Why are you on the ground, and you're still looking like this." The members of the security team knew Qingzhi. When they saw him being netted on the ground, they stepped forward to check.

"Please don't ask any more questions about ANBU."

The ANBU member wearing a mask had a cold and repulsive voice.

"What did you say--!?"

A member of the security guard stopped making trouble: "Aoji is a member of our Uchiha clan, why is it not our turn to manage?"

The Secret Department can handle things that the Police Department can handle, and the Secret Department can also handle things that the Police Department cannot handle. The functions of the two departments overlap to some extent.

Sometimes, people can't help but wonder whether the police department is a little redundant. The dissatisfaction in recent years, coupled with the conflict over this matter, led to a member of the police force coming forward to argue.

Another companion next to him stopped him and persuaded him in a deep voice: "Don't do stupid things, calm down. The only one who can mobilize the ANBU is Hokage-sama. Their meaning, in other words, is also Hokage-sama's meaning."

"..."

The members of the police department clicked their tongues in displeasure.

The ANBU member in the dog-head mask nodded slightly and said in a mechanically cold voice: "Wise choice."

Aokiji continued to yell, wanting to make things worse, and the ANBU with the dog-head mask gave his team members two looks.

The two team members understood the meaning, and each held Qingzhi's shoulders with one hand, preventing him from moving.

After that, the dog-head mask Anbu formed a seal with his hands, light blue chakra appeared on his hands, and pressed one hand on Aoki's belly.

There was a burning sensation in his stomach, Aokiji felt weak all over, and it was even more difficult to mobilize the chakra in his body.

"Sealing Technique..."

Qing Zhi gritted his teeth and groaned. This feeling of powerlessness was like fish on a chopping board.

He realized that he might have overestimated the higher-ups, or the ninja's brain circuitry.

Once the stability of the village is implicated, these high-level officials of Konoha will sacrifice themselves without hesitation.

In the original work, the ninjas of Hidden Cloud Village kidnapped three-year-old Hinata, and the Hyuga clan pursued them. As a result, the evil ninjas of Hidden Cloud Village complained first. In order to prevent the two countries from intensifying, Konoha Village actually agreed to hand over Hinata's father. 's remains.

Who is Hinata's father?

That's the head of the Hyuga clan. Can someone of this level be friends with him at any time?

Is Konoha's brain having a seizure?

Although Konoha Village is no longer at its peak at this time, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. At this time, the Uchiha clan is still alive and well.

If they really fight, they are not afraid of Yunyin Village at all.

Although the final result was that the unlucky old man Neji was sacrificed, it can also be reflected from the side. Sometimes Konoha is really willing to do anything stupid for the so-called stability.

In order to give the Fire Nation's daimyo an outlet, people like Aoji who managed to survive would naturally be pushed to the front desk and bear the pressure.

At the same time, maybe through the example of Aokiji, the news will be released to other Konoha ninjas. The tasks assigned by the village are all based on the tasks. Even if the enemy is very powerful, you still have to risk your life.

"Take him away." The dog-headed ANBU captain's voice was cold, and he ordered his subordinates to take away Qing Pheasant.

………………

Uchiha clan, clan leader's living room.

Middle-aged people and old people sit looking at each other.

The current Uchiha clan leader got straight to the point: "Elder Itachi, something happened to Aokiji..."
