Chapter 73 [What Sun Wukong Guards the Peach Garden]

Because of Asuma's injury, Rock and others tried their best to rush back, but they were still a little slow. ɱ

When they arrived in Konoha, there were already many outsiders on the street.

"They are not from our Fire Country, right?" Ino asked curiously.

Yamato nodded on the side: "Almost, because there is still some time before the Chunin Exam, and most of the people who come now are just merchants in advance."

Every Chunin Exam is a good opportunity to make extra money. Ninjas from several countries gather together, and nobles from many countries come to watch the battle. This can be said to be the most developed time for the ninja tourism industry, so many businessmen will come here to check the spot in advance.

"When it comes to the Chunin Exam, it will be even more exaggerated. I'm afraid that even ninjas from other countries can wander around the streets normally."

"But I'll inform you about the Chunin Exam after your teacher Asuma has recovered."

"Rock and I will go to report this mission to the Hokage first."

Yamato looked solemn. This matter was no small matter. The ninja who ambushed Asuma obviously had a detailed plan for Konoha, but the plan was broken by Rock and died halfway.

But fortunately, the body is still in hand. If it is hot, a lot of information can be found.

...

Hokage Building.

Yamato and Rock report the mission in the Hokage's office.

And Kakashi also came to report the mission.

He came earlier than Rock, and obviously reported some of the mission details.

"I see, did Naruto encounter the demon Zabuza in the C-level mission?" Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of the pipe in his hand to calm down.

It seems that the previous uneasiness came from this.

I didn't expect that I would meet a jonin in a small C-rank mission.

Fortunately, the Third Hokage had foresight and had guessed that something unexpected would happen.

Rock also subconsciously glanced at Kakashi after hearing this.

Kakashi's team seemed to have followed them on a mission.

Sarutobi had a mission report handed over by the Anbu who followed Kakashi's team in his hand. He took a look and said, "Is there an enemy with ice escape blood limit..."

Kakashi was silent for a moment, as if he remembered Bai who was hostile to them: "Yes, although there were some twists and turns, the ice escape ninja still died in the end."

Died under my Raikiri.

Kakashi added in his heart.

The boy who looked like a girl blocked his Raikiri for Zabuza.

Kakashi lowered his head slightly. His Raikiri seemed to always penetrate the chest that he didn't want to penetrate...

Should this move be sealed in the future?

Kakashi thought about it and decided to forget it. Anyway, his hands couldn't be washed clean for a long time.

Rock on the side was distracted. He was thinking, was Zabuza considered to have been harmed by a man-girl in this life?

"Ah! It's a pity that he died..." Sarutobi Hiruzen put down the report in his hand and looked at Yamato and Rock.

"How did your mission turn out? Asuka from the Fire Temple sent intelligence that their cemetery was robbed. I hope our people can help investigate it."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was already mentally prepared.

It was nothing more than transporting goods to the Fire Temple, and then encountering a few tomb robbers in the Fire Temple, and solving them easily.

Yamato immediately stepped forward: "This time, the 10th team's leader, Asuma Sarutobi, was ambushed during the mission and was seriously injured."

The pipe in Hiruzen's mouth trembled suddenly.

Kakashi also looked at Yamato in surprise.

It was just a C-level mission, but there were masters?

He thought his 7th team was unlucky enough.

"And these ambushing ninjas are suspected to be the former guardian ninjas of the Land of Fire. They had planned to assassinate the Hokage in the past..." Yamato paused for a moment, and the rest of the words were not suitable for him to say.

But Yamato knew that the Hokage must have known about the internal fighting between the guardian ninjas of the Land of Fire in the past.

After all, the ninjas of the Wama faction believed that the ninja village only needed to obey the command of the daimyo directly, without the Hokage...

As expected, Sarutobi Hiruzen sat up straight immediately after hearing this.

"They even used the earth escape reincarnation technique to revive the four dead guardian ninjas, and planned to use the lightning escape·Raimeng Leiren to destroy Konoha."

It was indeed a tomb robber...

Sarutobi Hiruzen anxiously took a puff of cigarette, which was not quite the same as the tomb robber he thought.

Coincidentally, the intelligence department acted quickly. As soon as Yamato finished speaking, an Anbu appeared and handed the information obtained from the corpse to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly took the information and read it carefully. As a result, he became more and more frightened.

The other party actually not only has a plan to destroy Konoha with lightning, but also has a pseudo Jinchūriki they trained in the Fire Temple!

Nine-tailed pseudo Jinchūriki!

Sarutobi Hiruzen is completely unable to sit still.

When it comes to politics, what nonsense such as assassinating the Hokage and making the ninja village completely obey the daimyo, Sarutobi is only a little nervous when he sees it, because there is an insurmountable gap in strength, and these are just empty talk.

But when he saw the lightning release of Raimeng Leiren and the pseudo Jinchūriki, he really couldn't hold it.

These guys really want to destroy Konoha!

"Rock, Yamato, you did a good job this time." Sarutobi Hiruzen said very seriously.

No, it can be said to be very good!

Now is the critical period for all countries to jointly hold the Chunin Exam.

Once the other party is allowed to carry out the plan to collapse Konoha in the Chunin Exam.

Where would he put his face as the third generation! How could he face the first and second generations!

But fortunately!

All the crises have been averted.

Now it is completely safe~

Whether it is Asuma or Naruto, they can be said to have escaped danger.

Sarutobi Hiruzen breathed a sigh of relief. The intelligence mentioned that the last thing the dead saw was Rock using Wood Release to save the situation, which saved Asuma and the new generation of Ino-Shika-Chou.

Asuma and Ino-Shika-Chou, no matter which one died, Sarutobi Hiruzen could not accept it.

"Rock, you completed the mission very well this time." Sarutobi Hiruzen thought about it, and he was thinking about what reward to give Rock.

When Uchiha Itachi helped him do things, he usually gave verbal rewards and recorded an S-level mission.

After all, he is Uchiha...

Sarutobi, who inherited the will of the evil old ghost Senju Tobirama, will only provide Uchiha with all support except support.

But Rock, who has a good family background, is different...

The will of Tobirama Senju told Sarutobi that this is a cute kid left by the Senju family.

Sarutobi raised his eyebrows. He remembered that Rock wanted to learn Flying Thunder God before, but the mission record was not enough.

"Rock, I will record this mission as S-level and put it in your ninja file." Sarutobi paused for a moment, and then said as if unintentionally: "Some time ago, a ninja named Mizuki planned to steal the Book of Seals..."

Rock also knew about this.

Naruto is stronger than the original. Although he still doesn't know Rasengan, he can pass the exam smoothly, so he won't be bewitched.

So Mizuki has no value in existence, and he was quickly taken down by the Third Hokage.

"The Chunin Exam is about to begin. There are all kinds of people in the village. It is inevitable that some people will be interested in the Book of Sealing."

"So we need a strong ninja to temporarily guard the Book of Sealing. Rock, can you do this job?"

Rock was stunned. He didn't know if this was the Third Hokage testing his Will of Fire.

"Of course, it's just that we don't have enough manpower now, so we are wasting our talents. I'll let you do this job. You only need to guard it for three days." The Third Hokage added.

Only three days.

"This is your first time doing this job. Remember! In order to prevent the Book of Sealing from being replaced, you must be very careful and check it frequently!" The Third Hokage reminded directly.

Rock nodded.

Now he understood.

"Yes! Lord Hokage!" he promised.
