"Hokage-sama, the Five Shadows online meeting is about to begin." Shikamaru turned around and reminded, "Kumogakure is already urging us, Hokage-sama, please prepare."
"We talk about it every day. If anything can be negotiated, it's probably accountability." Kakashi sighed and couldn't help complaining. "Other people's disciples are all mature and stable, but my group of disciples have brought my reputation into disrepute. It's really hard to explain."
"Kumogakure said," Shikamaru lowered his hand and glanced at the still hot document, and continued, "Sasuke attacked Kirabi, and earlier he suspected that Sasuke had attacked the two-tailed Jinchuuriki in the same way. Two Yumu people.”
"Sasuke is already a traitor, what else can he do?" Kakashi said reluctantly as he stood up with a dead fish eye outside his mask.
"Anyway, there is nothing we can do about Sasuke. I also know that Sasuke is full of evil, but there is nothing we can do. We can't catch him. If he slips into the territory of another country, Konoha has to go through the process to apply for assistance."
"The gain outweighs the gain by arresting people. In the final analysis, isn't it about compensation? But compensation requires negotiations, and we were still negotiating with those people in the first two or three months."
"As a result, after half a month of waiting, nothing was achieved."
Listening to Kakashi's complaints, Shikamaru was also a little helpless. Kakashi intended to train him, and he knew the reason. "Although I say so, it is the Five Kage Conference after all, so I still have to participate."
The focus of the Five Shadows Talk is participation.
Kakashi walked into the conference room prepared by the Intelligence Department with the mentality of going to the grave, holding the intimacy paradise in one hand, and watched boredly as everyone in the Intelligence Department debugged the equipment.
"Hokage-sama, we'll be fine soon." The person in charge explained, sweating profusely, "There's something wrong with the equipment, please give it a moment."
"It's okay, it's okay." Kakashi waved his hands without looking away from the page and said, "Don't worry, things like the Five Shadows Talk are a complete waste of time."
"Yes." The head of the Intelligence Department was sweating.
Alas, life is hard, and getting promoted is not necessarily a good thing.
Ino, the former head of the Intelligence Department, returned home to give birth to a baby and has not returned yet. There has been no news since the pregnancy and childbirth. Even after the baby was born, there were no rumors about resumption of work.
As for the former person in charge, Yamanaka Haiichi, he had previously said that he would go to work as usual, and that he might occasionally need to take time off to go home and take care of his granddaughter. But when the new eldest princess of the Yamanaka clan was born, Yamanakahai disappeared immediately.
Why does he work or not? He is the head of the intelligence department. Yamanaka Haiichi is now an ordinary villager A.
The mountain clan dominates the intelligence department. Some people originally complained about it, but now it's better. The whole family is no longer here, and their thoughts are all on their children.
The Intelligence Department is still functioning, but its status in Konoha has regressed by more than 180 steps. Not only have the original hidden benefits disappeared, but the workload has also increased.
After a lot of trembling, the device finally started to run autonomously.
As the ten-second countdown continued, Kakashi reluctantly put down his hand and kissed Heaven. He propped up his chin and stared at the screen in front of him boringly, secretly thinking that he was going to start arguing again.
I just don’t know what my group of unscrupulous disciples are doing at this time, and I don’t know who did those things. It's just that Kakashi vaguely felt that this matter was a bit strange, why did it feel like something only Naruto would do.
However, Naruto has now temporarily taken on a special mission, which is somewhat related to the Hyuga clan. But Kakashi is too lazy to care so much. When his disciple grows up, he can not only embarrass him, but also stab him in the back.
Just pretend not to know. Anyway, as Hokage, he only needs to safeguard the interests of Konoha. With Ino and Hinata here, he wasn't worried about Naruto becoming a rebellious nin.
I just regret a little. I didn't think of how to keep Sasuke at that time, otherwise it wouldn't have developed into the situation it is today. He shook his head and the meeting had already begun.
~~
The Kingdom of Witches.
A team of carriages and horses stopped in a long-abandoned market town. The sun was setting, and the setting sun had long been swallowed up by the night.
Two ninjas jumped out of the car. One of them, a girl with a bun on her head, looked around for a while and then gasped. She was not afraid of anything, but she was most afraid of this gloomy place.
On the contrary, Xiao Li, who also jumped down, poked his head around and asked curiously, not feeling much about this deserted market town.
"Naruto, where is this?"
"Here we are, the sealed place of the Kingdom of Witches." Naruto yawned and also jumped off the carriage, "The destination of this mission, please come and eliminate the spirits."
"Remove spirits?" Tiantian suddenly got goosebumps all over his body, "To remove spirits, you need to find a miko. Why do you ask Konoha to do such a thing? We are just ninjas!"
"I know this very well. Anyway, the task is somewhat urgent, and even I can't refuse." Naruto waved his hand, "The client seems to have a good background, and has some connections with Konoha."
"Client?"
Naruto smiled and spread his hands.
"Yes, I seem to have a good relationship with the Hyuga clan. I happened to meet my client, Dogeza, asking for help from Hiashi-sama, so I had no choice but to accept it."
"Then why are you dragging us in?" Tiantian held his little face, looking nervous, "I'm most afraid of this kind of thing, it's too scary."
"Because Neji is injured, I originally planned to find Xiao Li and Neji to form a team with me." Naruto said unhurriedly, "It's a pity. Although I am helpless, I can only make do with it now."
"What?" Tiantian suddenly became angry, "What do you mean by surrender? I don't want to come either! Why is there such a terrifying thing, invisible and intangible? Woohoo!"
While the three of them were talking, a man dressed like a middle-aged businessman stepped out of the carriage at the front. He casually took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, then trotted over from a distance.
"I'm sorry, three ninja masters, right ahead is the Witch Street. It has been abandoned for a long time, and there is no way to live there, so we can only live temporarily on the edge of the market town."
"The conditions are simple and the hospitality is poor. Please forgive me."
"It's okay, we don't mind." Facing the client every day, Tiantian put on a different face, as if he were taking a breath of fresh air. "I wonder what the spirit removal in this country of witches is exactly?"
"Well..." the middle-aged wealthy businessman's expression suddenly changed, "Those things sealed underground have come out, and there's nothing we can do about it. We don't know much about things that are further back."
"In short, if the spirits are not removed from Witch Street, those things underground will eventually come out and engulf the Kingdom of Witches."
The rich merchant's words were ambiguous, and Tenten and Naruto couldn't help but frown at the same time, and looked at each other, each seeing the solemn look in the other's eyes.
At night.
As the sky grew darker, the feeling of drowsiness lingered in Tiantian's mind, but she ignored it and slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
I woke up in a daze in the middle of the night, my mouth was dry every day, and I subconsciously touched the ninja flashlight. This is a newly developed ninja prop developed by Konoha, which makes it easier for ninjas to see underwater and provide lighting at night.
He stretched out his hand, but accidentally touched something unexpectedly cold, and pinched it twice reflexively.
"ah!"
A girl's seductive voice reached his ears, and Tiantian was so excited that he suddenly woke up.
She remembered that she was clearly sleeping in the room, but other than herself, she could not find any living creature at all, let alone a woman.
All the strength in his body seemed to be drained away. Tiantian struggled to sit up, but he couldn't get up at all.
Finally, the flashlight was in her hand, but the more anxious she became, she found that she couldn't turn it on. With her vision dim, she saw a candlestick beside the bed.
The scene in the room gradually became clearer, and Tiantian struggled to see it.
What came into view was a picture of a girl half-covered with a white hijab, with a blushing face and a beautiful face. Wearing a white wedding dress and sitting on the bedside, she looked indescribably weird.
No matter how dull Tiantian was, he still noticed something was wrong, Bai Wugu, an exquisite and delicate girl sitting in front of the bed.
Everything is so unusual,
"Are you awake?" The voice of the girl in white wedding dress was a little hollow.
Watching that weird scene every day, his back was instantly wet with cold sweat. He was still sleeping in the room, so why did he come to this ghost place as soon as he woke up?
Is this a dream? Her eyes were blank for a while, just when she was about to say yes. A voice suddenly sounded in his mind, it was Naruto's lazy voice.
"Don't make a sound and don't look at that thing."
A surge of excitement rushed from Tiantian's toes to Tianling Gai.
not human? Are you serious? So who is this woman wearing white clothes in front of me? She seems to be still staring at him.
In an instant, the fear factor in Tiantian's genes suddenly rioted. She wanted to ask Naruto's voice in her mind, what should she do now?
Unfortunately, after Naruto's voice sounded once, it was as if the line was disconnected and there was no movement. Tiantian didn't dare to act rashly until the situation was clear.
Seeing that her call was in vain, the Bai Wugou woman's face changed instantly, and a stream of bloody tears flowed down, frightening Tiantian who was sitting across from her.
Her teeth kept trembling, and she couldn't think of any resistance at all. For a moment, she was frozen in place like a puppet. I feel sad in my heart, what should I do, what should I do!
At the critical moment, a big hand suddenly grabbed out from the darkness and directly scratched the white shadow on the bedside with a bang.
The Bai Wugou woman who was still alive one second was instantly grasped into nothingness the next!
As that big hand scratched Bai Wuguan, the surrounding scene changed instantly. The room was still the same, but there was no bed. She slept in a sleeping bag made of wooden boards.
Before Tenten could react, he saw Naruto walking out of the darkness unhurriedly. He leaned against the table with a playful smile on his face.
"Tiantian, are you okay?"
"It's okay." Tiantian was stunned for a moment, then realized again, "What on earth is that thing? It's too scary!"
"Your expression must be an illusion, but I don't know who caused it." Naruto said with a smile, "You are unlucky. I just happened to come here. Why were you stunned just now?"
"I'm most afraid of these things. It would be great if I could avoid them! They almost scared me to death." Tiantian's face turned pale. "You knew this a long time ago, why didn't you remind me!"
"I don't know, I just found out about it just now." Naruto explained, "That thing came to me just now, but it's a pity that it didn't scare me."
"What on earth is buried under this ground? It's so vicious!" Tiantian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at Naruto's behavior, a terrifying thought popped into his mind.
"Where is Neji?"
She blinked, already unable to believe the person who walked out of the darkness inexplicably. Who knows if the person in front of him is Naruto, or if he is pretending to be something.
It's really a bastard who changes his waistcoat, but not his medicine.
"Ningji? Are you scared to death? There is no Ningci." He looked at Tiantian in surprise, "Ningci didn't come at all, but Xiao Li next door seemed to have seen the person who cast the illusion and has now chased him out. ”
After hearing this, Tiantian basically believed him.
"Xiao Li went out like this. Is there any danger?"
"What kind of danger can there be to a guy who relies on illusions to pretend to be gods and ghosts?" Naruto waved his hand, "If I had known you were so afraid of these things, I wouldn't have brought you here."
"Xiao Li and I are enough. This market town is indeed a bit weird. And the businessman is not a good person, but it doesn't matter. We will return him sooner or later."
"Illusion?" Tiantian looked confused, "Why can't I solve it? Although I am not good at illusion, I am very good at solving illusion. How could it be possible?"
"Let's wait for news about Xiao Li. We'll find out tomorrow." Naruto walked to the window with drafts on all sides and looked at the dark night outside, silently.
It seems that Xiao Li hasn't come back yet at dawn.
Tenten paced back and forth uneasily for half an hour, and finally couldn't help but approached Naruto and asked anxiously.
"Xiao Li hasn't come back yet, will something happen?"
"No, Xiao Li is much stronger than you think." Naruto still looked calm and calm, "It will be dawn soon, just wait patiently."
Sure enough, after dawn, Xiao Li came back slowly.
"Xiao Li!" Tiantian waved excitedly, "This way!"
As soon as she finished shouting, she suddenly turned her head and whispered to Naruto.
"Why does Xiao Li fall in love with Weiwei?"
"I don't know, maybe it's because of the illusion, or maybe it's because I'm too tired." Naruto said, "But the probability of the former is relatively low. Xiao Li has his own way of identifying illusions."
"What?" Tiantian asked subconsciously.
"Punch it in and whatever dissipates is fake." He said firmly.
Finally, Xiao Li wandered closer to the two of them, his face a little gloomy. Finally, he lay down on the ground with a thud, his eyes blank and he gasped for air.
"Water give me water."
"Sure enough, I'm too tired." Naruto spread his hands, took out a bottle of water from the sealed space, unscrewed the cap and handed it to Xiao Li who was lying on the ground.
"Did you catch that person? Did you find anything?" he asked.
"I caught him. I've been chasing him all night." Xiao Li said urgently while drinking water. "It's a man in his thirties, and he claims to be the priest here."
"After beating him for a long time, he was willing to tell the truth. There is indeed something sealed underground in Wu Town. But it has been too long, and many secrets passed down by word of mouth have been lost. I only know that it is related to the Uchiha clan." (End of this chapter)
