I rely on myself

Chapter 108: Attitude of Senior Management
Only then did Lin Yuan notice that in addition to the Third Hokage, there were several other ninjas in the office.

Lin Yuan was thinking in his mind as he closed the door.

"Well, I have to go out on another mission now. If nothing goes wrong, these people should be my companions. I just completed a mission not long ago, and now another one comes. How unlucky."

Although he thought so, Lin Yuanqu did not show any expression, but just walked forward with a calm expression.

After seeing Lin Yuan's arrival, the Third Hokage slowly spoke: "Since everyone is here, I will get straight to the point. The reason why I asked you to come is because I received intelligence that the ninja lurking in the Hidden Mist Village as an intelligence officer has been discovered. The current situation is very critical, so we must send someone to rescue him."

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but frown. Although the mission sounded very simple and was just to rescue one person, it was easy to tell that since the identity of this Konoha ninja's intelligence officer had been discovered, the Hidden Mist Village would definitely send a large number of ninjas to hunt him down to prevent the intelligence from falling into the hands of the enemy.

At the same time, the border defense will definitely strengthen its vigilance to prevent spies from escaping and block the arrival of rescue workers, so everyone will frown here because the mission is very difficult.

The Third Hokage was well aware of this, but he had to rescue them. After all, today you can't ignore the lives of those Konoha ninjas who are lurking in other ninja villages as spies.

Then tomorrow they might become passive and lazy, or even defect, so rescue must be carried out. Even if it is impossible to succeed, we must show this attitude, otherwise the morale of the people below will be dispersed.

However, it would be better if the mission was successful, so the Third Hokage would certainly not send only these people there.

"Don't worry. For the time being, the intelligence officer who was discovered is still very safe. However, as time goes by, the Hidden Mist Village will soon find his hiding place, so you must find him as soon as possible. Of course, I also know that this mission is very difficult, so in addition to you, I also plan to send an Anbu to go with you."

Hearing that there was help from the Anbu, everyone present secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the Anbu, as the Hokage's direct subordinate force, were extremely powerful. With such a force of assistance, the success rate of the mission would be greatly improved.

"Anyway, that's the situation. The mission is A-level, but it may become S-level depending on the situation, so you must be extra careful. Time is urgent, so I won't say any more. I'll give you an hour to prepare, and then gather at the main gate of Konoha. The Anbu team will also gather there with you and set off together. Do you have any other questions?"

"No!"
"Very good, then you can go yourselves."

After hearing this, Lin Yuan and the others left the Hokage's office one by one and went back to prepare the items needed for the next mission.

After watching everyone leave, the Third Hokage picked up a piece of information, which contained information about Lin Yuan. It particularly noted that at the end of the Third Ninja World War, Lin Yuan suddenly encountered the AB combination of the Hidden Cloud Village during a B-level mission, which are now the Fourth Raikage and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

He single-handedly held back the two opponents for half an hour, and then escaped safely with the help of Minato Namikaze who came to support him. It was particularly pointed out that Lin Yuan did not have any scars on his body, which made it hard to believe that a ninja of civilian origin could do this when facing the combination of the Fourth Raikage and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

But the fact is that it is so, and it is also because of this incident that Lin Yuan entered the sight of Konoha's high-level officials. For a powerful but very low-key, even hidden ninja like Lin Yuan, the Third Hokage undoubtedly felt very difficult to deal with. After all, you can say that he has problems, but he has completed the tasks he received very well. At the same time, according to the investigation of the Anbu, he has no possibility of contacting outsiders. Except for a few familiar people, he has no contact with other people.

But you can say that there is nothing wrong with him. However, despite having such powerful strength, he is content with being ordinary. If it were not for the sudden accident, no one would even know that he has such strength.

The Third Hokage was very hesitant about someone like Lin Yuan. During this period, he had thought about recruiting Lin Yuan to join his faction, but every time he said something like that, Lin Yuan would shirk his responsibility by saying, "I'm used to my current life and I don't have any intention of changing."

Of course, after knowing Lin Yuan's situation, Danzo, the leader of the Root, also told him to hand Lin Yuan over to him, and he guaranteed that he could make the other party explain his affairs clearly.

But of course the Third Hokage directly rejected this proposal. As a friend and rival for so many years, how could he not know Danzo's true thoughts? He just wanted to control the powerful fighter Lin Yuan in his own hands.

The helpless Third Hokage had to send people to keep an eye on Lin Yuan's movements while testing Lin Yuan by arranging a large number of tasks.

Over the years, although Lin Yuan cannot be said to have worked very hard, he would not do things casually. He would complete what he should do, and as for the unnecessary things, he would ignore them.

Therefore, the Third Hokage's view of Lin Yuan was that he was a person who had some talent but no goals, so he gradually let down his guard against Lin Yuan and assigned some more difficult tasks to him.

This time is the same. To rescue a spy from the Hidden Mist Village, which has been closed for a long time and lacks intelligence, is very difficult even with the Anbu. That's why the Third Hokage arranged Lin Yuan to be part of this mission to ensure its success.

The Third Hokage put down the information in his hand, turned and looked out the window, only to see the entire scenery of Konoha come into view.

Looking at the restored and prosperous Konoha Ninja Village, the Third Hokage couldn't help but sigh: "I hope everything goes well. After all, the current Konoha Ninja Village can't afford any turmoil."

After saying this, the Third Hokage began to deal with the documents on his desk again. After all, as the leader of a village, his work was very busy.

On the other hand, although Lin Yuan, who returned home, felt helpless about the difficulty of this mission, he still needed the identity of a Konoha ninja, so he had to work hard to complete it.

After packing up the necessary ninja tools, Lin Yuan picked up a soldier's grain pill and ate it as lunch before leaving his home.

With his ninja speed, he soon arrived at the gate of Konoha, only to see that someone had already arrived here and was waiting.
