"If Uchiha Ara goes to receive the mission."

"Then, this designated commission shall be handed over."

Hiruzen Sarutobi lightly tapped the scroll that was placed aside.

Choosing the Snow Country mission was indeed within his consideration.

Firstly, the distance is far.

This gives someone time to work.

Then comes the long sea voyage.

If one were to be trapped in the boundless ocean, there would truly be no one to turn to for help.

Finally, there's the current ruler of the Land of Snow, Fuuka Nutō, whom Danzo mentioned. That guy rose to power through despicable means, and with the real princess returning, he certainly won't greet her with a smile.

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

"Then I'll take my leave first."

Manager Tang dared not be negligent, and respectfully took the scroll, intending to leave immediately.

"and many more,"

"By the way, I'd like to remind Uchiha Ara that the Land of Snow is not as simple as it seems. Not only is it quite far away, but the current situation is also unstable."

"When you go, you can choose some companions so that you can look out for each other."

There wasn't a single flaw to be found in the old man's voice and words.

If one had to say there was any emotion hidden within it,

That is kindness and concern.

"I understand. The Hokage is as kind as ever."

Sarutobi Yu couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

As Danzo watched this series of smooth and efficient actions, the apprehension and gloom in his eyes grew even stronger.

It seems I've been underestimating you all along, Hiruzen.

However, when did you become like this? Even I can't quite figure it out anymore.

A self-deprecating smile flashed through Yu Zhi's mind.

His old friend truly had it all figured out.

Know your own thoughts,

He understood his ambitions.

That's why she used this tactic of feigning indifference to subtly reveal these messages to him during this period, so that he would take the initiative to find a solution.

However, just as Sarutobi Yu left, he was also preparing to leave to carefully plan and operate the business.

A figure in a standard ninja uniform suddenly appeared in the room and knelt on the ground.

He is a member of the Dark Division.

"Hokage-sama."

The visitor called out respectfully, then immediately fell silent, clearly aware that there was another person inside.

Seeing this, Danzo Shimura's expression darkened.

Judging from the slight rise and fall of the other person's chest, there must be urgent information to report.

Since he wasn't in a hurry to leave, he quietly sat down on the sofa.

Now that we have escaped the lockdown environment,

He also needs to know firsthand information about all events, and he can no longer let this old fox hold him by the nose.

Otherwise, his ambitions will be thwarted for life!

"It's alright, speak."

Hiruzen Sarutobi clearly saw through his old friend's thoughts and generously offered to point it out.

After all, you need to provide enough feed for a horse to run fast.

"Yes,"

"Uchiha Ara, who was under house arrest, has now left the clan's territory. Judging from his trajectory, he is heading towards the mission hall."

Neither Hiruzen Sarutobi nor Danzo Shimura showed any surprise at this news.

Moreover, judging from such actions, among those mountain of designated assignments, there were probably schemes arranged by that kid or entities he wanted to contact.

However, all of this was within their expectations.

Even if we take a step back and assume that the Snow Country is the mission that kid wants to choose, the long journey would give them enough time to make some arrangements.

Not to mention that Princess Fenghua, who is an ordinary person, also has to be brought along.

But, the next moment,

"Moreover, he seems to have become even stronger!"

As he finished speaking, the ANBU member wearing a white mask began to tremble uncontrollably.

Not just sound,

And the entire body!

It was as if I were once again in that terrifying, inescapable oppression!

For a moment, time seemed to stand still in the Hokage's office.

The third-generation master held the pipe in his hand, but did not smoke it; only the faint sound of the tobacco burning could be heard.

The one-eyed old man was much the same, with his single eye slightly lowered and his hands tightly gripping the cane that looked like it had been polished.

"I understand, please step back."

After a long while, a response finally came.

The secret agents who were kneeling in the arena also retreated.

"You shouldn't have any illusions about him, Hiruzen."

Upon receiving the message, Danzo stood up, his words grave.

"Well, so just do what you want to do."

After saying that, the white-haired old man sitting at the desk started smoking again.

For some reason, Yu Zhi always felt uneasy.

Did I overlook or miss something?

He reviewed the situation several times, but still couldn't find the answer.

As the setting sun cast its light upon his desk, a member of the secret service arrived with the day's report:

"...Before Steward Tang returned, the mission that Uchiha Ara applied for was an S-rank mission issued by Onoki of Iwagakure..."

Upon hearing this news, Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression suddenly tightened.

This is it.

He could have had all the initiative in his hands!

And send Uchiha Ara to face off against the Akatsuki organization, thus further increasing Onoki's favorability.

But now, it's ultimately not a perfect choice.

That guy is really useless.

[They have absolutely no ability to adapt.]

"Go and bring me all the complaints against Sarutobi-yu and all the tainted information we've gathered."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice was cold.

After all, self-reflection and putting aside personal ties for the greater good can sometimes be a way to improve one's self-image.

Chapter 278 Why does it smell like him?

If you were pestered by a lost kitten, what would you choose to do?

1. They exchanged a glance, waved, and strode away;

2. Feed the baby some snacks from the pocket, pet them a little, and then leave;

3. While feeding it, I noticed a small wound on its leg and then took it to a veterinary hospital full of dogs for treatment;

4. Grab it quickly, then find the employer to claim the reward. [Little kitty, you can't escape!]

Huang chose the third one.

As for why the pet clinic is full of dogs, it's because the owner of the shop belongs to the Inuzuka family, a traditional family of dog breeders.

If God gave the cat another chance to choose...

So it definitely won't willingly stick to this human boy and offer itself up just because he has the scent of catnip, dried fish, and other trusted kittens on him!

'Sniff.'

'Sniff.'

That's enough.

enough.

enough!

You three vicious dogs, have you never seen a kitten with a bow on its ear, or have you never seen a kitten as cute as me?!

Ah Hu was furious and angry; his small body was filled with resentment.

It was on the verge of a nervous breakdown from the sniffing of the three nasty dogs lurking around it, its little paws sticking out their pads as if ready to pounce.

Just because I'm not showing my true colors doesn't mean I'm a pushover!
