Different from the solemn atmosphere of Hidden Mist Village, Konoha is still busy.
Mission is the foundation of a village's survival, coupled with the blessed by heaven geographical environment, it is foreseeable that the gap between other villages and Konoha will only become wider.
At this time Hokage's Office.
The monthly regular meeting is going on in motionless.
Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen put down the file in his hand, rubbed his eyebrows, and asked: "The 13 missions handed to Root, why are there still four that have not been completed today?"
Danzo was obviously prepared for a long time, and said calmly: "Root originally has a lot of missions, and you suddenly lose so many missions. Although it's not too much trouble, you should do it step by step?"
"Give me a precise word."
"I will send someone to finish it immediately, but..." Danzo squinted, "So firstly, Root is completely empty. After all, Root is still I have the responsibility to protect Konoha. If something goes wrong, my Leader of Root will be responsible.
Hiruzen, look...?"
"Do you want to expand Root?" Third Hokage looked directly into the eyes of his friend.
"Yes." Danzo ignored the sharp eyes. "The original intention of Root was to cultivate and deliver talents to Anbu. Now Root is not manpowered enough and does not expand a lot. Will it rely on Nine-Tails Jinchuriki in the future? Come to protect the village?"
"Why then? Nine-Tails has terrifying power. If Kushina can master this power, why not leave the village to her for protection?"
"Hmph, don't say this kind of cliché in front of us, Lady Mito is so good, hasn't she mastered the power of Nine-Tails in her life?" Danzo sneered.
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. It's nothing more than trying to let Nine-Tails Jinchuriki make contributions in the barrier class and release her out of the village."
" Is it true, Hiruzen?" asked Mitokado Homura on the side.
Third Hokage did not answer, but expressionlessly said: "So you are still angry I let Kushina participate in the barrier work.
This is Lady Mito's request during her lifetime, and Kushina that girl also did This kind of strength."
"Nine-Tails should be controlled instead of letting her run around. The kidnapping of Hidden Cloud Village has only been in the past few years?!"
"This I have my own decision on this matter," Third Hokage glanced at Danzo and continued: "You want to expand Root, I agree, but there is only one..."
"What?"
"You are not allowed to shoot against clan ninja."
"Where can I go to train children with innate talent?!"
"So many commoner orphans after Second Shinobi World War , You can absorb it into Root."
Danzo's face was gloomy and uncertain, and it took a long time to slowly nodded.
"One more thing, call back all the ninjas you sent to Hidden Mist Village. Don't let them die."
Danzo was surprised: "What do you get News?"
He has increased the penetration of Hidden Mist Village since Third-Mizukage's visit to Mu, and now he can't figure out what happened there. Sarutobi Hiruzen's news is too good. Right?
"Mizukage should be an accident." Third Hokage took out a secret letter and handed it to everyone.
After a few people circulated it, Danzo took the lead in shaking one's head, "With some traces of battle, I guessed that Third-Mizukage was attacked, the son of Mirror... is naive!"
Koharu, who has not spoken for a long time, said with a smile: "I think Tatsumi's analysis is very reasonable. Now Hidden Mist Village is completely closed, at least it can show that something is really wrong there."
Mitokado Homura nodded: "I agree with Koharu's opinion. Now that Hidden Mist Village is so closely guarded, it shows that the situation is still firmly in the hands of Third-Mizukage.
Can make him make such an abnormal Action, maybe it was the ninja of his own village who attacked Third-Mizukage. Maybe he is purging."
"In short, no matter what happens in Hidden Mist Village now, stop exploring there, don't After taking the Land-of-Water mission, they always have to contact the outside world. Sooner or later we will know what happened during this period of time."
Sarutobi Hiruzen made a final qualitative statement on this matter.
Danzo hesitated for a while and asked: "What about Uchiha Mountain's son?"
"Uchiha Fugaku?" Third Hokage was surprised: "What happened to him?"
p>
"Uchiha Shan picked up an S-Rank mission from me for his son."
"Isn't it going to Land-of-Water?"
"That's not true." Danzo glanced at Third Hokage, "I went to the Rainbow Country."
Third Hokage frowns said: "Why is this far?"
The Rainbow Country can be regarded as the most remote place in the entire Ninja World. It takes half a year to get there by boat alone.
"If it's not far, how can Mission Rank be high?"
Listening to Danzo, everyone is speechless.
In other words, this mission is specifically designed for Fugaku.
You know, Fugaku is ten 9 years old this year and was promoted to Jonin not long ago. But because of the attack last year, his reputation in within clan dropped to its lowest.
In the future, the positions of Clan Leader and Guard Captain will be Fugaku. As the father, Uchiha Mountain must help his son at this time anyway.
How to help?
Naturally, high-rank missions are used to brush reputation.
As long as you complete an S-Rank mission, and then accidentally leak it out, you will get a few more waves of publicity in the village, and your reputation will come back all at once.
After all, 10 9 years old can complete an S-Rank mission independently, which is considered excellent anyway.
However, Uchiha Mountain still knows how many catties and how many taels of his own son. Generally speaking, the S-Rank mission is naturally courting death. Only one with low difficulty can be found.
Be aware that every mission has its own criteria for judging. For a place like Rainbow Country, it takes more than a year for the first time, and there may be sea kings on the road.
Be fierce, one bite can bite off Five Kages's arm.
So, missions in such remote areas are rare, but as long as there are, the ranks are generally very high.
This is also what Uchiha Mountain asked Danzo to help him find.
But who would have thought that Hidden Mist Village would have something like this again at this juncture. The Rainbow Kingdom is far away from Konoha, but it is very close to Land-of-Water, and it must go to Land-of- in the middle. Water supplies.
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed and asked: "Has Uchiha Fugaku set off?"
"Yes."
"Forget it, just pass Land-of-Water, it shouldn't be something."
Mitokado Homura said with a smile next to him: "It's not the same to have a good father. Everything is done for my son. Properly, Hiruzen, look at you again, Shinnosuke hasn't come back yet?"
Third Hokage said with a bitter smile: "No, I still refuse to come back."
Utatane Koharu Asked: "How is Biwako now?"
"I have been admitted to the hospital, and the delivery is just recently."
"Have you decided to call Asuma? I feel Jiraiya The Sarutobi Naruto that I picked up is also very nice."
Sarutobi Hiruzen rolled the eyes "Let him leave it to his own son."
Speaking, Third Hokage stood up, gazed The sunset in the distance, whispered:
"I don't know where Jiraiya and Tsunade are now, how are they doing, and I won't send a letter to my old fogey."
