Chapter 116 Hatake Zhao Da

Nightlight instructed three squads to continue monitoring the Senju clan while he left the village alone to carry out an investigation mission.

The target is a 32-year-old Chunin, one of Hatake Sakumo's followers. He is one of the older followers and appears at every gathering.

A ninja who lives to 32 years old may not be very strong, but he must be very experienced.

Hatake Sakumo is known for valuing his comrades and treating people sincerely. After each mission, he would become friends with the members of his team.

He and his friends often gathered together, and he had an excellent reputation among ordinary ninjas and even ninja clan members.

They often visited Sakumo Hatake's home and also frequently went to yakiniku restaurants and izakayas together.

In Sakumo Hatake's view, every friend is worth cherishing, and perhaps the next gathering will be to visit a memorial to friends.

Upon arriving at the village entrance, Ye Guang spotted the target team.

The captain is Special Jonin Sarutobi Shigetsu, 14 years old, and the other three are Chunin.

This configuration would be considered an elite squad in Konoha.

The team quickly left Konoha, and Nightlight followed.

The war in the Land of Rivers is about to begin, and today many ninjas set off from the gates of Konoha, heading west.

Ye Guang followed behind them and quickly noticed something strange.

Ye Guang worked hard to become a Special Jonin at the age of 17, while Sarutobi Shigetsu was promoted to Special Jonin at the age of 14. He should be a little genius, but his breathing was more rapid than the other three when they were traveling.

Ye Guang lowered his binoculars, opened the mission scroll from the tree canopy where he was hiding, and carefully examined the information about the target squad.

Sarutobi Shigetsu completed an extremely difficult mission to capture prisoners in the Land of Grass and was recommended by Mitokado Homura as a special Jonin.

During that mission, all the remaining ninjas in the squad were killed, and only he and the prisoners returned to the camp.

Judging from his appearance, his physical skills are average; I wonder if he's a ninja-type ninja.

On the roads of the River Country, there were many civilians migrating with their families.

Hearing that war was about to break out, the people of the River Country moved to remote areas in the south.

It was spring planting season, and much land was left uncultivated; a famine was expected in the fall.

The civilians also had experience; ninjas often disguised themselves as civilians to assassinate each other, and when the war reached its most brutal stage, the civilians would all die.

Sarutobi Shimatsu's squad crossed the Land of Rivers and entered the desert of the Land of Wind.

Having found an oasis on the border of the Land of Wind, Sarutobi Shigetsu lay prone behind a sand dune:

"The three of you will approach the oasis from three different directions and investigate its contents!"

The three Chunin exchanged glances, and Shinmei, being the oldest ninja, tried to offer his opinion:

"Captain, the oasis has fresh water and is a natural supply base, and its defenses are the most stringent."

Should we proceed step by step and gradually investigate the intelligence?

First, investigate the Sand Ninja transport teams entering and leaving the oasis, and the types of supplies they transport.

For example, the number of puppeteers' joint steering mechanisms can roughly estimate how many puppeteers are deployed on the battlefield.

Sarutobi Shigetsu's expression changed, and he said, "Are you disobeying orders?"

Disobeying orders and refusing a mission is a serious crime in Konoha, and in severe cases, it can result in immediate execution.

In the distance, Night Light saw through his binoculars that Shinmei and the other two Chunin had infiltrated separately, and he was extremely shocked.

Isn't this a suicide?

Who devised this tactic?

The three team members split into three directions and infiltrated the oasis directly.

Through the binoculars, one could see that there were hundreds of Sand Ninja in the oasis.

Soon, the three Chunin encountered danger.

Squad leader Sarutobi Shigetsu, on the other hand, lay steadily in the distance, looking as if he didn't want to miss any details.

In Konoha's system, when the captain acts inhumanely, the team members are very likely to die.

Ye Guang pondered from afar whether or not to step in and help Xin Ming.

The key to whether or not to help Shinmei is actually whether Sakumo Hatake has investment value.

After this period of investigation, Yoruichi confirmed that Hatake Sakumo had a good reputation and treated the people around him very well.

Because he values ​​his companions, a gang centered around him appears, but he is completely unaware of the dangers of this behavior.

The higher-ups are not afraid of a disorganized group of civilian ninjas; what they fear most is that the civilian ninjas will organize and unite.

Atomized villages are the easiest to control.

Disobedient ninja clans and civilian ninja groups are key targets for the higher-ups.

What Sakumo Hatake lacked was someone who could shield him from the darkness.

Ye Guang pondered repeatedly, grabbing handfuls of sand one after another.

Without being immodest, Nightlight walking in the darkness is also part of the dark side of Konoha.

He's so dark-skinned, he's perfect for shielding Sakumo Hatake from the darkness.

With Sakumo Hatake in the light, Yoru in the dark, and the prestige of the Senju clan, this combination is enough to give the higher-ups a headache.

Yagami even thought that one day he would design a scene for Sakumo Hatake, saying, "It's cold, put on another layer of clothing."

Sakumo Hatake, clutching the Hokage's robe in his left hand and the Hokage's hat in his right, said guiltily, "You've really put me through a lot."

Zhao Da, the founder of Hatake, is a worthwhile investment.

The contrast between light and darkness, height and speed, with Sakumo Hatake as one, will be part of the arrangement for Yoru's future.

After making his decision, Ye Guang quickly got up and chased after him.

As a member of the Dark Guard, Yoruichi was rashly going to find Hatake Sakumo. Hatake Sakumo wouldn't, and dared not, trust him.

Try to retain the new name and use it to send signals, gradually building trust with Sakumo Hatake.

Three teams rushed out of the oasis, and three Konoha ninjas were surrounded by Sand Ninjas.

The three Konoha ninjas were positioned in three different directions, unaware of each other's situation, but they tacitly quickened their pace, wanting to gather more information about the Oasis Sand Ninja Force.

Shinmei glanced in the direction where Captain Sarutobi was hiding, hoping that his death would have some meaning.

Ye Guang sighed from afar. Giving such a good subordinate to Sarutobi Shigetsu was a waste of talent and cruel.

Three Sand Ninja blocked Shinmei's way.

"Wind Release: Gale Wind Palm!"

A whirlwind appeared in the hands of the three, but instead of attacking the Konoha ninja directly, it rushed towards the sand on the ground.

Instantly, yellow sand billowed from the ground.

Xinmin's view was blocked, and he couldn't see anything.

He dodged to the left without paying attention, trying to jump out of the sandstorm.

As soon as he emerged from the sandstorm, he saw a crocodile puppet waiting beside him.

The crocodile opened its mouth, revealing a mouthful of steel needles, ready to be launched.

The tip of the steel needle gleamed with the dark purple hue of venom.

The machine started clicking!

At the critical moment, a Tulong spear pierced the ground and impaled the crocodile puppet's upper and lower jaws together!

Shinmei turned around and saw an ANBU member wearing a fox mask.

Is it the Konoha Anbu?

A steel ball attached to a wire flew over, wrapped around Xinming's waist, and instantly pulled him backward.

Shinmei flew close to the ground, covering several dozen meters, but before he could reach the ANBU ninja, he suddenly crashed into the sand.

He quickly got up and looked back, and saw four puppets around the Fox's secret service.

These puppets come in various shapes and sizes, including humanoid and animal-shaped ones.

The movement logic of humanoid puppets is similar to that of humans, and can be predicted to some extent. Animal-shaped puppets are the most difficult to deal with, as their hidden weapons are concealed in a very obscure way.

Shinmei saw the fox's secret agents maneuvering among the four puppets.

After escaping the puppets' encirclement, the fox's secret agents formed hand seals.

"Water Release·Water Breaking Wave!"

A high-speed jet of water suddenly shot out, sweeping across the air and shredding all four puppets in one go.

The air was filled with half-finished puppets, and kunai and steel needles from inside the puppet mechanisms spilled out.

The newcomer was dumbfounded. That terrifying puppet had actually been shredded?

Nightlight threw two kunai to the side, forcing out the puppeteer who was hiding in the sand.

The two puppeteers had just jumped up when they saw the water jet shooting towards them.

The two puppeteers were cut in half at the waist, their yellowish-pink intestines falling onto the sand like tempura coated in breadcrumbs.

The newly learned Water Release: Water Severing Wave has extremely strong destructive power, raising Ye Guang's combat strength to a new level.

After killing the few Sand Ninja who had pursued him and making sure no one had seen him, Nightlight shouted, "Follow me!"

Xinming quickly followed suit.

Chapter 117 I will protect your secret with my life

After escaping, Ye Guang had Xin Ming lie in the sand.

He looked in the direction of Sarutobi Shigetsu.

That person cannot be allowed to live; my private communications with Hatake Sakumo must be kept absolutely secret.

"Stay here and don't move. My mission isn't over yet."

In the distance, Sarutobi Shigetsu lay prone on a sand dune, carefully observing the situation in the oasis.

He completed his last mission by sacrificing his teammates' lives to be promoted to Special Jonin.

This time was no different; he planned to use the Sand Village's reaction to write a perfect Oasis investigation report.

To his surprise, an ANBU ninja appeared in Shinmei's direction. The ANBU ninja was probably a Konoha ninja who was passing by and saved Shinmei.

Sarutobi Shigetsu then looked at his two other subordinates.

Those two subordinates were unlucky; no passing ANBU came to their rescue, and they died one by one at the hands of the Sand Ninja.

That's about enough; this information is sufficient.

There are about 100 Sand Ninja in this oasis, of whom about 10 are puppeteers.

Sarutobi Shigetsu cautiously crawled backwards and disappeared into the sandpit.

His foot suddenly kicked into someone's leg!

When he turned his head in alarm, he saw a member of the Fox Guard!

The seal of self-karma bondage!

Sarutobi Shigetsu was completely immobilized; even his chin was locked in place by a cursed seal.

A kunai was stuck right in the center of Sarutobi Shigetsu's head.

This is a sandpit; no one can see Ye Guang making a move here.

Ye Guang returned and found Xin Ming, leading him into the Land of Rivers, where they stood beside a river.

At the bottom of the deep river valley, the river flows swiftly.
