I'm in Konoha, and I have ten skill slots.

Chojuro was waiting at the entrance, and he was also fully armed.

It seems there's something urgent going on.

Upon arriving at the Shadow's office, Terumi Mei handed a document to Shigure.

"Konoha's request!"

"The fastest flying eagle was dispatched to the country overnight."

Shiyu took the document and looked at it. This is...

"Sasuke has defected?"

"Orochimaru!"

Was Sasuke's defection at this time? It hasn't been that long, so it shouldn't be like this!

"What's the situation in Konoha right now!" Shigure looked up at Mei Terumi. "Has the new Hokage taken office yet?"

It's only been less than a week, and Naruto probably hasn't even found Tsuna's 380-hand technique yet! How could it be so fast...?

"Konoha is in trouble because it doesn't have a Hokage, and the Third Hokage is in a coma. Kakashi and the others from the village have gone to Sunagakure and are helping to stabilize the situation there!"

What about the Sand Village?

The Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure also died, and the situation inside Sunagakure was even worse than that of Konoha.

If Sunagakure were to request Konoha's help at this point, Konoha would likely intervene for the sake of long-term considerations.

No wonder Konoha has to ask Kirigakure for help in this situation.

"I called you here to ask for your opinion!"

Mei Terumi looked at Shigure, and to be honest, she was worried about him returning to Konoha again!

But thinking about it carefully, Konoha abandoned Shigure, and it hasn't been that long. Shigure probably won't be willing to return to Konoha.

Since that's the case, rather than keeping it from Shigure and letting him find out later, which might lead to him developing negative feelings towards Kirigakure, it's better to tell him now.

And the fact that they told him immediately shows that Kirigakure trusts Shigure.

Moreover, the person involved was Uchiha Sasuke. The Uchiha clan itself isn't the issue, but Sasuke was Shigure's former comrade, so it's hard to guarantee that they don't have some deep-seated bond.

So Mei Terumi wanted Shigure to see it, even though it was a pipe dream, but if Sasuke Uchiha was willing to come to Kirigakure because of Shigure.

Then Kirigakure would welcome them completely.

Even if this causes some negative effects, Mei Terumi doesn't think it's unacceptable.

"Let me go!"

Shi Yu slowly put down the documents in her hand.

Then he looked at Mei Terumi and saw that her eyes were calm and her expression was unchanged.

Shi Yu frowned. "It seems you really want me to go!"

"You want me to bring Sasuke back to Kirigakure?"

"Don't even dream about it. Even if you were willing, neither Konoha nor Kirigakure would agree!"

Shigure means that the elders of Kirigakure do not want to easily provoke Konoha.

Although Mei Terumi knew how extraordinary Sasuke's talent was and how immeasurable his future was, Sasuke was currently just a genin, despite some changes that brought his combat power close to that of a jonin.

But the elders of Kirigakure don't think so.

"That's true! I was indeed being too far-fetched."

As she spoke, Mei Terumi patted her own head.

"If you go, will there be any problems?"

Terumi Mei asked.

Shigure rolled his eyes at her. "I'm the Six-Tails Jinchuriki now. If something goes wrong, the entire Hidden Mist Village will probably explode. Would Konoha be willing to provoke the insane Hidden Mist Village?"

That's true. Although Konoha is the strongest ninja village, which of the five great nations' ninja villages can really be bullied at will, especially a village like Kirigakure?

"Alright! I'm not going to waste my breath on you anymore! I'm leaving!"

Shigure absolutely has to go this time.

Firstly, it was for Sasuke's sake. Shigure wanted to see that Sasuke no longer needed to go to Orochimaru to increase his power. He could train step by step and his strength would be just as good in two years. Why did he have to go to Orochimaru?

Secondly, Shigure needs to figure out what reason Sasuke made to make that led to this plot point being brought forward so much.

With Konoha currently lacking a Hokage and Tsunade yet to return to the village, what exactly is going on?

"Are you still bringing Shiro and Chojuro along?"

Mei Terumi looked at Haku and Chojuro waiting at the door.

Shigure nodded. "Of course, are we going to let them stay in Kirigakure as decorations for the rest of their lives?"

Ninjas need to be trained. If they are never given the opportunity to train, how can they grow?

Shigure is right, Mei Terumi nodded. "Alright! You guys go ahead! Be careful!"

"There's really no time to take the boat this time, what are you planning to do to get there?"

It's nighttime now, so Shigure doesn't need to worry about being discovered.

"Don't worry! I'll be there soon!"

After leaving the Shadow Building, the Mist Ninjas were still there on both sides, and Shigure no longer intended to hide.

He immediately raised his hand to form a hand seal and unleashed Cloud Release: Somersault Cloud!

The somersault cloud that materialized in the next second gathered in front of the three of them.

The ninja behind him stared wide-eyed at the strange cloud of mist that had suddenly appeared.

Without a second to think, the three of them jumped onto the clouds and instantly flew into the sky, disappearing into the night sky.

The ninja returned to the Kage's office.

"Reporting to Lord Shadow!"

"Lord Shigure used some kind of secret technique to summon something like a cloud, and the three of them rode away on it!"

It flew away?

Mei Terumi was stunned for a moment. Just like before, it seemed that the technique could not only be used by Shigure herself, but also to transport people.

With the ability to fly, it won't take long to travel from Kirigakure to Konoha.

"I wonder what those Konoha ninjas would think if they saw Shigure like this!"

Mei Terumi thought that Danzo was a complete idiot who would do anything for his ambition.

Was he sending a genius like Shigure out of the village so that he could become Hokage more easily?

I wonder if this guy will regret it!

A cold wind kept blowing in the sky.

Bai asked with some curiosity, "Lord Shigure, where are we going?"

"Konoha!"

Chojuro suddenly stood up: "Konoha?"

This... this is an urgent mission?! What are we going to Konoha for?

Could it be an attack on Konoha?

"Konoha has sent a request for assistance, hoping that Kirigakure can support Konoha's special mission with several powerful ninjas!"

Chapter 195 The Sound Ninja's Support Pursuit Begins

I just heard Mei Terumi say that it seems all the powerful Jonin from Konoha have been sent to the Land of Wind.

The problems in Sunagakure seem to be very serious; the Fourth Kazekage has died suddenly.

The next Kazekage position is uncertain, as the village lacks a suitable ninja.

The Sand Village in the Land of Wind must have started to riot!

After all, if there is no one to serve as Kazekage, they will definitely choose someone they approve of to serve as Kazekage.

Therefore, factional struggles have arisen. Originally, Maki would have supported Gaara and stabilized the village, but now it seems that Maki's role has run into trouble.

Otherwise, Sunagakure wouldn't have needed the help of Konoha's Jonin.

With most of the Konoha Jonin having left the village, Sasuke's defection began.

Moreover, the opponent is Orochimaru, so it's normal for Konoha to panic.

I just don't know if it's a coincidence!

Shigure felt that it was a bit too coincidental for the Konoha Jonin to go to Sunagakure to help at this time.

It's certainly not a coincidence.

This was also Danzo's arrangement. He sent Konoha's most powerful Jonin to Sunagakure, leaving Konoha itself vulnerable.
