Naruto: Who made him a ninja

Chapter 19 The Dean, She's Not in Konoha

The moonlight was hazy, and the wind and sand howled.

In the vast desert, a small team from the Sand Village was silently approaching this dilapidated village under the cover of night.

"Honestly, this place is really desolate."

The Sand Village patrol team was maintaining sufficient vigilance, but some of them couldn't help but complain under their breath.

"Stop talking nonsense and focus on the mission."

The captain of Sunagakure couldn't help but interrupt when he heard the complaint.

"Besides, it was Lady Yecang who was conducting the search. Don't you know how much she has done for us?"

"Okay, Captain, I understand, but..."

The Sand Ninja dared not contradict his captain, but he couldn't help glancing at a bespectacled boy behind him.

The boy looked to be only eleven or twelve years old. He was quiet and somewhat thin, which displeased the Sand Ninja.

"Why did we listen to this kid and come to this remote place? Honestly."

"I'm sorry, I just thought it was possible here, so I offered my opinion."

The boy looked embarrassed, scratched the back of his head, and looked apologetic.

"And if we really do find Lady Yekura's whereabouts, we think our resumes will be..."

"Alright, shut up, all of you."

The captain shook his head, glanced at the boy, and then continued.

"Although this place is remote, it's an ideal hiding place. We just need to find clues, and the rest can be left to the Dark Division. Understand?"

"yes!"

Several Sand Ninja answered at the same time, but as soon as they finished speaking, the ground suddenly surged!

The desert seemed to turn into mud at that moment, and several sand ninjas were instantly trapped in it before they could even react.

"Damn it, enemy attack!"

The Sand Village captain immediately noticed the situation and drew his ninja sword. However, at that moment, he suddenly felt an extremely dangerous sensation. The icy aura made his hair stand on end!

In a flash, he immediately tried to form a hand seal, but a cold light had already flashed by!

In an instant, he felt a cool sensation on his neck.

"So fast."

That was the last sound echoing in his mind, and before he lost consciousness, he saw spikes suddenly rise from the ground, piercing all his team members except for Hideyoshi!

"So you're calling yourself Hideyoshi now, Kabuto? Does that mean I can claim it was an accident if I kill you?"

Xiuze emerged from the shadows, glanced at the corpse on the ground, and then looked at Dou with a mocking expression.

"Stop joking, Xiuze."

Dou pursed his lips, shook his head helplessly, and chuckled dryly.

My childhood friend hasn't changed at all. Back in the training ground, this guy used to throw heavy punches at me.

There were times when he wondered if he would be hammered to death on the training field.

Of course, he wasn't completely defenseless and just taking a beating, but this guy seemed to be growing a bit too fast.

Now he seems even more ferocious; has he killed so many people in the blink of an eye?

Fortunately, he had been lying low for so long and had honed his skills so much that he quickly recovered.

"What are you doing here in Sunagakure? Never mind, I shouldn't have asked. You have your own mission. What do you need me for?"

"I happen to need your help with something."

Xiuze had already deactivated his cursed seal. Having been with Root for so long, he was used to eliminating enemies in the fastest way possible.

"I don't think you'll refuse me, will you?"

"."

After a moment of silence, Dou wanted to say that Xiuzhe had broken the rules.

But after glancing at the corpses scattered on the ground and recalling his memories at the Root, he subconsciously adjusted his glasses before speaking.

"Okay, just tell me what's on your mind, but all I can say is I'll do my best."

"I'd like you to investigate a few things."

Xiuze nodded and spoke directly.

"Some policies concerning Sunagakure, especially those concerning Yotsuba."

"Yakura."

When Dou heard Xiuze's words, his expression changed immediately, especially after hearing Yecang's words, his face turned pale.

"Damn it, did you kill Ye Cang?"

"They've only been captured, they're not dead yet."

Xiuze shrugged and then explained.

"We plan to extract some useful information from her through interrogation, but I suspect that Sunagakure might betray her, so I need more intelligence."

At this point, Xiuze shared his previous "guesses," and Kabuto listened attentively.

However, his expression turned serious after hearing it. If all of this was true, then it was definitely a bombshell piece of information!

What surprised and astonished him even more was that these were all analyses made by Xiuze.

Just how much has this guy grown?

"I need to think about this carefully."

Kabuto certainly knew the value of this matter, and soon he suddenly realized something.

If he succeeds, he will definitely be rewarded. Maybe he can go back to Konoha and see his headmaster!

However, his disguised position made this matter extremely difficult.

"Damn it, I was just pretending to be a low-ranking ninja."

"Genin, that's way too difficult."

Xiuze frowned, pondered for a moment, and then spoke in a low voice.

"If I can create something big, do you have a chance?"

The latest novel is first published here!

"Unless the Kazekage can leave the office, but that's difficult."

Dou spoke without hesitation, but quickly shook his head.

"I'd better think it over carefully. Don't make any rash moves, and don't expose yourself. The Anbu of Sunagakure have also been mobilized, so your situation is not good either."

At this point, Dou sighed, then his gaze hardened.

"Also, I want to be involved in this matter, truly involved."

This might be an opportunity for me, a chance to return to Konoha and see the Dean, instead of relying on information you gathered and relayed.

Please, Xiuze, give me this chance!

At this point, Dou suddenly bowed deeply to Xiuze.

Kabuto's actions were against the rules within Root, but he was truly determined to see Yakushi Nonou and was unwilling to let any opportunity slip by!

When Xiuze saw this scene, an idea flashed through his mind in an instant.

This seems like a good opportunity for him!

At this point, Kabuto still trusted Danzo, or rather, the higher-ups in Konoha, until all his illusions were shattered.

Xiuze can shatter some of his fantasies in advance!

Looking at the pocket in front of him, Xiuze suddenly reached out and put his hand on his shoulder, then whispered.

"There's something I need to tell you. The headmaster actually left Konoha a long time ago."

"Um?"

Dou was stunned for a moment, and then his expression changed drastically.

"What are you talking about?"

"You may not know this, but I'm currently in the Dark Division, not in the Root."

Xiuze shook his head and spoke calmly.

"Although there will still be various restrictions, and I am not allowed to go to the orphanage."

But I had a lot more freedom, and I also used some means to learn about the orphanage.

It turns out the dean wasn't there, and the information I received that was supposed to be sent to you was likely fake.

"How is this possible?"

Dou was completely stunned; he really hadn't expected to receive such news.

The dean is not in Konoha, so the information he received might be false.

So where did the dean go? What exactly happened?

"Do you remember why Danzo came to the orphanage?"

Xiuze didn't stop there; he continued in a low voice, and Dou suddenly realized something.

"You mean, the dean?"

"It's very likely; the dean is too kind."

Xiuze sighed and made a helpless expression.

"She probably wanted to trade herself for our freedom, but things didn't go as planned; Danzo..."

At this point, Xiuze stopped, looked at Dou who seemed a little lost in thought, and patted him heavily on the shoulder.

"Of course, all of this is just my guess, and I have no reason to lie to you."

We all come from an orphanage, and I think you have the right to know some things about the director.

And as you said, if this operation succeeds, you might be able to go back.

"That way, you can also go and investigate properly."
