Starting from the root of Konoha, he was the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 9 Hatake Sakumo! (Seeking follow-up recommendation votes and monthly votes)

After leaving Danzo's place, Hoshita Hide reunited with Inuzuka Ryo and the other two and said, "You can take the secret technique information back with you, but you must not spread it to anyone else."

Sarutobi Atsushi and the other two nodded quickly, "Understood!"

Xing Xiaxiu then waved his hand: "Disband!"

Sarutobi Atsushi and the other two nodded, then each used the instant body movement technique to leave.

Xingxia Xiu also returned to his residence and changed his clothes, but he no longer had the desire to go out for a walk, so he simply took out the information on sealing techniques he had just obtained.

"The Sky Ninja stole Konoha's sealing technique information. Was their goal the Zero Tail?"

"Are you planning this so early?"

Xingxia Xiu thought to himself: "The Sora Ninja Village, I remember it was destroyed by Konoha during the Second Shinobi World War. Could this secret technique theft incident be the trigger?"

He still remembered that the remnants of the Sky Ninja had attempted to assassinate Danzo several times.

"Shennong... dare to call me by that name? It's a death sentence!"

With a light snort, Xingxia Xiu began to immerse himself in the information on sealing techniques.

Naoya Tsuchiya stole a lot of information, such as the basic fire-sealing seal, the five elements seal, the Uzumaki clan's four-symbol seal, and the legendary inner four-symbol seal that sealed a bridge.

These materials are relatively detailed and complete.

Most of them are incomplete information about sealing techniques, and there is not even a name.

However, judging from the content of the information, it seems to be a sealing technique for the tailed beasts.

These incomplete materials were probably left behind when Konoha was researching the technique to seal the Nine-Tails.

When Xingxia Xiu pulled his head out of the information, it was already five o'clock in the morning.

"Zero-Tailed Void, I remember it was a monster formed by dark chakra. From a spiritual point of view, it is more dangerous than the nine tailed beasts."

After thinking about it, Xingxia Xiu put the matter aside for the time being, packed up his materials, changed his clothes and went out for training.

The most basic physical training and physical training are already a habit.

And now Xing Xiaxiu has a heavier training task.

There is no need to say much about Wood Release. Practicing Rasengan will help him improve his control over chakra.

Instead, the wind escape technique that he was originally good at was ranked last.

For breakfast, just eat Bingliang Pills.

Xingxia Xiu practiced from morning to noon in one breath, and then returned to the root base to eat.

Unexpectedly, just after finishing his meal, without even a burp, Nakamura appeared again: "A, Danzo-sama is summoning you!"

Xingxia Xiu immediately wiped his mouth, appeared in front of Danzo at the fastest speed, and knelt on one knee: "Danzo-sama!"

Danzo nodded slightly, then said in a deep voice: "According to the Anbu's investigation, someone in the border defense force colluded with the air ninja and sold the border defense deployment route map."

"There is no solid evidence right now, only suspicions."

"A, lead the team and find out who betrayed the village's information."

After Danzo finished speaking, Shimura Daichi beside him handed a stack of information to Hoshita Hide.

Xingxia Xiu took it and shouted, "Don't worry, Danzo-sama, I will definitely find the pests that are eating away Konoha."

Danzo said calmly, "The current head of the border defense force is Hatake Sakumo. Go, set off immediately!"

Xing Xiaxiu's eyelids twitched, but her voice remained firm: "I understand!"

……

5 minute later.

Xingxia Xiu led his team to leave the Root Base, leave Konoha Village and head towards the northeast border.

On the way, Sarutobi Atsushi asked, "Captain, what is our mission this time?"

Hoshita Hide said: "Find the traitor in the border defense force who betrayed the border defense information to the air ninja."

"Current intelligence indicates there are three suspects."

"Kushi Uehara, Takuya Michigami, Nozomi Akabane." "Do you know these three people?"

Aburame said, "Captain, I know Akabane Nozomi."

"I was in the same class with him when we were in Ninja School."

"He is a gentle person. He was very popular in school and worked very hard. He is now a Chunin."

Xingxiaxiu nodded slightly.

He had already memorized the information about the three people in his mind.

In addition to what Aburame Hiichi said, this guy named Akabane Nozomi is an orphan and masters fire and earth jutsu.

He is indeed very popular. Not only his companions, but also other people who know him, all praise him.

Xing Xiaxiu was a little suspicious of this guy at first sight.

For no other reason than that this guy's reviews look so good.

During the Anbu investigation, no one had said anything bad about him.

Add to that the fact that he's an orphan, wow, he looks like a spy no matter how you look at him.

As for the other two, they seemed unremarkable based on the information.

None of Sarutobi Atsushi and the other two knew them.

Xingxia Xiu simply introduced their intelligence and then said: "This time our public identity is ANBU. Our ostensible purpose is to examine the three of them as candidates for ANBU."

Sarutobi Atsushi hesitated for a moment and asked, "Captain, is this reason unconvincing?"

"After all, according to intelligence, these three people are not qualified to enter the Anbu."

Indeed, the three targets this time were all ordinary Chunins, not outstanding.

The Anbu, especially those directly under the Hokage, are at least the elite among the Chunin.

Xingxia Xiu asked without comment: "Then do you know anyone in the Northeast Border Defense Force who is qualified to join the Anbu?"

Sarutobi Atsushi nodded immediately, "Yes, Mimura Hamagaki, currently a special jonin. As far as I know, he will be able to become a jonin after completing the required number of missions."

Inuzuka Ling said: "There is a man in our Inuzuka clan, Inuzuka Owl, a Chunin."

Aburame Hiichiya followed up, "There's a man from the Aburame clan, Aburame Shisei, a Chunin."

Xing Xiaxiu nodded: "Very good, then add these three."

The rest of the journey was speechless.

In the evening, Xingxia Xiu and his three companions arrived at the headquarters of the border defense force.

Leaving Sarutobi Atsushi and the other two outside, Hoshita Hide entered Hatake Sakumo's tent alone.

When they first met, Hatake Sakumo gave Hoshita Hide a gentle feeling, unlike his nickname that made him seem as fierce and murderous as he was.

"Sakumo-sama, I have been ordered by Danzo-sama to come and assess six individuals for selection as ANBU candidates."

As he spoke, Xingxia Xiu took out Danzo's warrant, which was just a piece of paper.

Hatake Sakumo took it, looked at it, and nodded, "No problem."

"However, if we mobilize six people at once, I'm afraid it will affect the front-line defense."

Xing Xiaxiu immediately said: "Three people at a time will do."

Hatake Sakumo immediately agreed, "That would be great. May I ask which six people they are? I'll need some time to make the arrangements."

Hoshita Hide announced the names of six people, and then said, "The first batch will be inspected by Kushikami Yushin, Michikami Takuya, and Akabane Nozomi. Please excuse me, Master Sakumo!"

He was very polite when facing a strong man like Hatake Sakumo.

Apart from not wanting to be at odds with Hatake Sakumo, there was no need to make a fuss right now.

Of course, the most important thing is that we can’t win.
