章 86: Chapter 86, Following the Lead.
In the Land of Moon, the headquarters of Purple Lightning and Kumogakure are in a heated battle.
The overall situation is that Kumogakure has pushed into the Land of Moon and is gradually devouring the power of Purple Lightning's headquarters.
In the Land of Hot Water, Muramasa is also leading people to desperately hunt down the elite squads sent by the three major hidden villages.
Only the Sarutobi squad located in the Uchiha Chamber of Commerce is leisurely and unhurriedly watching all this happen.
And it's been three months.
And in these three months, the situation has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Kumogakure has been advancing all the way, and only the elites led by Kinkaku and Ginkaku can barely resist.
But now it's already at the end of the crossbow, and it could be completely wiped out at any time.
And it was at this time that Muramasa finally gave up the action of continuing to hunt down the elite squads sent by the three major hidden villages and began to return with his men.
And the Sarutobi squad also made a move at this time.
In a hotel near the Uchiha Chamber of Commerce, Raijin glanced at the ninja lying in a pool of blood on the ground and sheathed his long sword.
This is a fairly standard squad, one Jonin and two Chunin.
From the time when Raijin and others settled in the Uchiha Chamber of Commerce, this squad came to the vicinity to monitor the movements of Raijin and others.
And with Purple Lightning's defeat on the battlefield, the Sarutobi squad also began to act.
The first thing was to take out this squad.
"Sigh... Let's go."
Raijin sighed, his figure disappeared on the spot.
To be honest, these three months, it was quite comfortable to stay in the Uchiha Chamber of Commerce.
But there's no way, Kumogakure and Purple Lightning have already fought almost the same, if they don't start moving now, this mission will basically fail.
So, even if they don't want to work, they have to get moving now.
...
Raijin and the others didn't specifically go looking for Muramasa's team. After all, although the Land of Moon is not large, it's still quite big compared to a team of dozens of people.
Finding their location is a very difficult task.
And to follow them without being discovered by them is an even more difficult task.
...
So, Sarutobi's team chose to look for Muramasa's destination.
For example, the place where Kumogakure wants to fight with Purple Lightning.
Of course, Raijin and the others don't know where the battleground is.
But Kumogakure does.
...
"Hello, we are the team sent by Konohagakure to assassinate Muramasa."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a friendly smile on his face to the Jonin from Kumogakure in front of him.
"It's already this time, does it make any difference whether you carry out this task or not?"
The Kumogakure Jonin's eyes twitched, suppressing his anger and asked Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Hokage-sama didn't tell us that this task was cancelled, so of course we have to find a way to complete it."
...
Raijin took a step forward and said coldly. At this moment, Raijin perfectly played the role of the "bad cop", showing the arrogance and disdain of the Uchiha clan.
"Raijin!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face became serious, and he scolded Raijin in a low voice.
When he turned his head to look at the Kumogakure Jonin again, Sarutobi Hiruzen smoothly put on a friendly smile.
"I just graduated from the ninja academy and don't know anything, please forgive me."
"Hmph!"
Raijin timely glanced at the Kumogakure Jonin and snorted disdainfully.
"Uchiha Raijin, huh? The famous genius of the Uchiha clan, but on the battlefield, it's better for you to be a little more restrained, otherwise you won't know how you died."
The Kumogakure Jonin looked at Raijin coldly and said in a cold tone.
...
"You don't need to worry about that. If I die here, Uchiha will definitely intervene in the investigation."
Raijin said arrogantly to the Kumogakure Jonin with his hands in his pockets.
"You!"
The Kumogakure Jonin was angry, but he couldn't say a word.
It has to be admitted that although what Uchiha Raijin said was annoying, it was the truth.
...
The son of the head of the Konohagakure police force died on the battlefield. Whether it's to recover the Three Tomoe Sharingan or out of a father's heart to avenge his son, Uchiha will definitely intervene in the investigation.
"Raijin!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen scolded Raijin in a low voice again.
Raijin was very upset and rolled his eyes to the side.
"I'm really sorry, but you also have to understand me. The backgrounds of these team members are not simple, and I have a hard time controlling them."
Speaking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen continued to speak to the Jonin.
"We've been here for almost three months now, and we really want to complete the mission, but we don't know why. The information about our assassination of Muramasa was leaked. There are too many masters around Muramasa, and we haven't found a suitable opportunity, so this matter has been dragging on until now."
"What else could it be? It's the news leaked by Kumogakure."
Tsunade's voice full of disdain sounded, and the face of the Kumogakure Jonin suddenly collapsed.
"After all, whether we die at the hands of Purple Lightning or Purple Lightning is severely wounded by us, it's the result Kumogakure most wants to see, isn't it?"
Upon hearing this, Raijin very cooperatively said, "Raijin, Tsunade-hime, although I agree with what you're saying, I feel it's best not to say it in front of the Kumogakure ninja."
Orochimaru quickly pulled Raijin and Tsunade aside and whispered. However, his voice was just loud enough for the Kumogakure Jonin to hear. "Shut up!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly said to the Kumogakure Jonin, "They're just kids, they like to let their imaginations run wild. Don't take it to heart."
"How could we possibly do that? For Kumogakure, assassinating Muramasa is definitely the most important thing!"
The Kumogakure Jonin pursed his lips and said to Sarutobi Hiruzen, "Yes, everyone's goal is the same. After all, peace is always everyone's common goal."
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded repeatedly and said to the Kumogakure Jonin in front of him, "However, we haven't been able to complete our mission for such a long time. Now, Kumogakure is about to fight with Purple Lightning, so we were thinking, maybe we could help on the battlefield..."
Upon hearing this, the Kumogakure Jonin instinctively wanted to refuse. Are they joking? Why would they tell them the location of the decisive battle now? So they can complete their mission and then take money from Kumogakure? The current battlefield, with or without them, doesn't make much difference.
"Teacher, I told you a long time ago, how could they possibly tell us the location of the decisive battle?" Before the Kumogakure Jonin could speak, Raijin lazily interrupted Sarutobi Hiruzen's words.
"Yeah, after all, their goal is not just a Muramasa." Tsunade sneered and said sarcastically.
"But if that's the case, wouldn't our mission be a failure?" Orochimaru said with some worry.
"It's okay, when we go back to the village, I'll explain it to my grandfather." Tsunade waved her hand and said casually.
Beautiful! Sarutobi Hiruzen was delighted in his heart, but his face remained expressionless as he said to the Kumogakure Jonin,
"Please forgive us, the Hokage-sama only has this one granddaughter, and she has been spoiled since she was a child."
