Konoha Thief

Chapter 557

Chapter 557

The land of fire, the famous palace.

After a ceremony attended by many nobles, in the garden of the Daming Mansion, only Daimyo and Hiruzaru Sarutobi were left enjoying flowers and drinking tea.

"Tsunade? Well, if it's her, she deserves to be Hokage." Daimyo shook his fan lightly, squinting at the most eye-catching pompom-like flower in the garden, as if inadvertently Said: "Unknowingly, the younger generation has been able to shoulder the burden, we are really old."

"Damyo-sama, you're joking. You take good care of yourself. Unlike me, your face is covered with wrinkles." Hiruzaru Sarutobi held the teacup, feeling the warmth in his palm, pondering the hidden meaning behind the words of the daimyo in his mind. With deep meaning, he complimented quietly on the surface.

"Ahaha, let's not talk about these troublesome things, let's taste tea." Daimyo picked up the teacup, and said to Sarutobi Hiruzen in a friendly manner: "This is the best tea picked from the rock wall of the Land of Earth. Don't waste it."

"As you order, Daimyo-sama." Hiruzaru Sarutobi's eyes flickered, and he picked up his teacup slightly.

Outside the garden, twelve guardian ninjas with fire emblems on their waists were waiting. One of the youths with a rebellious expression saw the silent youth, thought for a while, and walked to his side.

"Asma, the one inside is your father?" The young man raised his chin and said to Sarutobi Asma who was extremely silent at the moment.

"Hema!" Before Sarutobi Asma could respond, a bald young man with a thick face stood in front of him, "You know that Asma has a bad relationship with his father, what are these things mentioned now? mean?"

"Hehe, I just heard that in order to regain the power of Konoha Village, the fourth Hokage made the fourth Hokage fight alone, and finally lost his life. Even this is not over, even the identity of the fourth Hokage's son was given by him. I kept it a secret, if someone hadn't leaked the matter..." He Ma sneered while crossing his arms.

"That's enough! Kazuma, you're going too far!" Di Lu hurriedly interrupted the young man's words, and then looked back at the silent Asma Sarutobi, only to see that the latter had already left alone with his head bowed.

"Hema, everyone is guardian ninja, why do you always target Asma?" Bei Gen, who has the title of 'Thunder Dungeon Four', looked at Hema with a frown and said in a deep voice.

"Do you agree with Asma's ridiculous statement about the two pieces of 'jade'?" Hema looked at Beigen with a sneer on his face, then glanced at the others, and saw that everyone had different expressions, obviously holding different opinions on this , which is exactly what he wants.

Outside the Daimyo Mansion, Kakashi and the other five Anbu ninjas finally arrived. After submitting their identity documents, they were quickly called into the mansion and led by their servants to the outside of the garden.

"Who are they?" Seeing the person coming, Hema had already recognized the other person's identity, but he had other ideas, so he deliberately blocked the road, and said solemnly: "The Twelve Guardians of the Ninja are the ones who protect the daimyo. Don't let go of any details that may threaten the daimyo's life!"

These words were said to Kakashi and others, but also to the other guards, and Kazuma took the opportunity to observe the expressions of the others, secretly remembering them in his heart.

"Guardian Ninja, these are ninjas from Konoha Village, who came to protect the third Hokage-sama and return to Konoha Village." The servant quickly explained.

"The guard of Hokage?" Kazuma raised his eyebrows and said, "It turns out to be Anbu of Konoha Village. Even so, you just wait here, and I will go in and report to Daimyo-sama."

Hearing that Kazuma used such a casual tone to expose the secretive 'Anbu', the Anbu ninjas including Kakashi frowned, but this is the Daimyo Prefecture after all, so they could only hold back their anger and not go Pay attention to each other.

A moment later, Hiruzaru Sarutobi walked out of the garden, and after saying goodbye to Daimyo, he glanced at the Twelve Guardian Ninja Warriors, but was disappointed to find that the figure he wanted to see was not in the sequence.

He sighed slightly, and when he was about to walk towards Kakashi and other Anbu ninjas, he suddenly caught a pair of eyes that implied hostility.

The moment their eyes met, He Ma's pupils shrank suddenly, and then he hurriedly lowered his head.

Although he has unspeakable ambitions, when he really faces the chiefs of the five villages who have the title of "Shadow", his heartbeat can't help but suddenly intensify.

"Master Naruto." An Anbu ninja stepped forward and called out in a low voice.

"Well, let's go." Hiruzaru Sarutobi narrowed his eyes, remembering the appearance of this guardian ninja in his heart, and immediately waved to the Anbu guards, and walked out first.

Looking at the short figure going away under the protection of the Anbu ninja, He Ma blushed with veins on his forehead, annoyed by his panic just now.

He clenched his fists involuntarily, gritted his teeth, and let out a breath after a long time, but the thought in his heart invisibly deepened several times.

After leaving the city, the Anbe ninjas enter the state of guard. The two Anbe ninjas before and after Hiruzaru Sarutobi guard at any time, and the other three hide in the dark to accompany them for protection, investigation and pathfinding.

"As you expected, Danzo-sama sent out the elite of the roots, who disguised themselves as passing ninjas on the way to carry out the interception and killing plan." Kakashi paused slightly when he said this, attracting apes Hiri Zhan looked inquiringly, and Kakashi considered it for a while and said, "There is a special ninja among them, who performed the first-generation wood escape technique."

"The technique of wood escape?" Sarutobi raised his eyebrows, lost in thought.

Mudun is as famous as Sharingan, and can control the power of tailed beasts. As a village with the only technique of Mudun, Muye Village has of course done special research, and Orochimaru is one of them.

At this moment, he suddenly heard that there was a ninja who used the wood escape technique, Hiruzaru Sarutobi immediately thought of his disciple, especially some clues revealed by the recent investigation results.

"Don't say anything about this matter, I will send someone to investigate after returning to the village." Hiruzen Sarutobi told Kakashi.

"Yes, Hokage-sama." Kakashi nodded.

"Hmm." Hiruzaru Sarutobi glanced at both sides of the road, then whispered to Kakashi: "Get ready for battle, Kakashi."

"Fight?" Kakashi was slightly stunned when he heard the words, and thought quickly in his mind for a moment. The three-god jade in the Shulunyan under the mask spun, and swept around in a prepared manner.

At the same time, in Konoha Village, Shikahisa Nara came to Tsunade's house.

"Have you been summoned, Shikaku?" Tsunade looked at Nara Shikoku and confirmed.

"Although this is not a simple matter, it has been completed." Nara Shikahisa nodded, and added: "I didn't alert that and the attention of the two advisors."
