Chapter 676 Sweating Profusely

Konoha Village.

After Kushina and Kato Dan were resurrected.

Orochimaru was ready to take action against the Sarutobi clan, which was too powerful to be eliminated.

The ninjas of the Hyuga family who were on missions began to be recalled one by one, and other ninja clans, led by Ino-Shika-cho, also began to gradually recruit people back.

If it were normal, this would easily make people feel something was wrong.

But after someone discovered that the cemetery in Konoha had been robbed, everything became reasonable.

At first, a person from a small clan became rich and was ready to move his grandfather's grave away from a bunch of ordinary people.

But he found a very small hole in the grave, and part of his grandfather's body was missing.

Because the cemetery was guarded by someone, and the guard was a member of the Sarutobi clan, which had a large number of ninjas.

A dispute broke out directly.

The cemetery was robbed, and the guards themselves had an unshirkable responsibility. As a result, the Sarutobi clan saw that the other party was just a civilian Chunin, so they wanted to smooth things over.

After that, the matter became a big deal, and the Fourth Hokage intervened.

It was discovered that more than just this grave was robbed, and most of the graves had holes.

There are so many strange ninjutsu in the ninja world, which ninja clan can tolerate such a thing.

At this time, the Sarutobi clan members were also in a hurry to check the grave of the Third Hokage.

But the grave of Sarutobi Hiruzen was fine, no one touched it.

At first, the Sarutobi clan was secretly happy, and they were still laughing at other ninja clans.

But after investigation, it was found that the graves next to the Third Hokage were dug up, and even the first and second generations had holes in their cenotaphs.

All the other graves, whether from the Hyuga clan or the Ino-Shika-Chou clan, were robbed.

Only the grave of the Third Hokage was left intact.

The eyes of others changed when they looked at the Sarutobi clan.

These made the Sarutobi clan sweat profusely.

What does it mean? Why is it that only your Sarutobi clan’s graves have not been robbed?

Many people demanded an investigation of the Sarutobi clan, which made the Sarutobi clan anxious.

Trying hard to explain that the tomb robbery had nothing to do with them.

Orochimaru suppressed the matter temporarily.

However, the next high-level meeting of Konoha, the Sarutobi clan, may not have a good time.

Before the incident in Konoha, Xia Mu actually communicated with Orochimaru in advance.

In fact, there was a plan in advance, so there was no panic.

In the tomb outside Konoha, Orochimaru had already selectively settled some corpses.

Even if it was stolen, it would not be a big deal.

But then again, this White Zetsu's ability to rob tombs is really strong.

Judging from the location of the tomb robbery, it was directly drilled from the ground and some corpses were stolen.

If it weren't for coincidence, no one would know that the corpses were stolen.

As for whether these corpses had been moved before White Zetsu came to rob the tomb, it is unknown.

...

When Konoha was in turmoil,

Kimimaro and Bai did not return to the Kingdom of Light.

Instead, they lived directly in Orochimaru's laboratory.

Kimimaro's corpse bone vein was originally a rare blood limit.

The iris of the eyes now changes color, which is obviously a benign atavism. This rare atavism phenomenon is very valuable for research.

Haku and Kimimaro have a good relationship, so he stays to take care of Kimimaro's daily life.

Xia Mu stayed and could not help much.

But he took Naruto, Sasuke and Hinata away from Konoha.

Konoha will be in chaos next, and it is hard to say what the Sarutobi clan will do.

Or what the spies from other villages will do.

Xia Mu also wants to see if Naruto and Sasuke have any sequelae after removing the souls of Indra and Ashura, and their current strength.

As for Hinata, Xia Mu brought her with him on purpose.

Hinata has been carefully taught by Hiashi over the years, and her strength is no longer what it used to be.

But Naruto has Minato's teaching and the Nine-Tails as a foundation, so his strength is far beyond Hinata.

Xia Mu is not sure whether Naruto's improvement in strength will affect their relationship.

So in private, he also quietly asked Sasuke.

What reassures Xia Mu is that Naruto and Hinata like each other.

But the two of them didn't ask or say anything to each other, just like a mute.

Even Sasuke felt anxious.

Now that several people are going out on a mission, Xia Mu naturally wants to take Hinata with him.

This mission was specially selected by Xia Mu, and it is an escort mission.

There is a criminal gang called Shinoba, and a member named Marutetsu has been arrested.

In order to get more information about Shinoba and further eliminate this criminal organization.

Marutetsu needs to be sent to the capital of the Forest Country.

Because the people of Shinoba may rescue him halfway or kill him.

Someone needs to escort him.

That means escorting prisoners.

The reason why Xia Mu specially chose this mission is because he has an impression of Marutetsu.

This Marutetsu is in the Shinoba Group, but every time he goes out to rob, he secretly rescues the children who were robbed.

As for his arrest, he did it on purpose.

Because he no longer wants to live that kind of life, so he took the initiative to be arrested.

Xia Mu remembers him, of course, not because he thinks he is a good person, but this person is a mute.

Not a mute in the physical sense, but a mute who can clearly say one sentence but doesn't use it.

It's the same as Naruto and Hinata now.

When people teach people, a hundred words are useless.

When things teach people, they are taught by heart.

Obito has already been to the moon once, so Xia Mu doesn't know what kind of changes the moon will undergo after that.

If Naruto and Hinata didn't get together, or wasted more time, wouldn't it be a pity?

Naruto is now half of Xia Mu's son, and Xia Mu must consider his son's lifelong affairs.

The few of them packed up and set off quickly.

Xia Mu did not make any disguise except not wearing a forehead protector.

Although the name of Uchiha Xia Mu is loud, not everyone knows him.

Hinata naturally knows Xia Mu.

However, after being a little nervous at the beginning, she also found that Xia Mu was a very gentle person, so she relaxed.

Although Hinata didn't know why Xia Mu came to be their team leader this time.

But being able to get along with Naruto, Hinata felt that going anywhere was not a problem.

Hinata was just a little curious about Naruto and Sasuke calling Xia Mu "Master".

Xia Mu was observing Naruto and Hinata along the way.

The sunny and cheerful Naruto was a little shy when facing Hinata.

Hinata is similar. Although she is no longer a steam princess, she still often blushes in front of Naruto.

The few people soon arrived at a small port in the Land of Fire. The Land of Forest is a small country, and only here can ships go there.

A ship has already stopped at the port.

There is an inland river from the Land of Fire to the Land of Forest.

So the port is not big, and the ship is not big either.

Marutetsu was locked in an iron cage and hung in the air.

Xia Mu had some impression of this person's appearance.

Sasuke followed Xia Mu's gaze and looked over: "The one hanging here is..."

Before Sasuke finished speaking, someone answered.

"He is a member of Shinoba, Marutetsu." The speaker was an official from the Land of Forest.

"I am a drummer from the Ministry of Police of the Land of Forest, responsible for this escort."

"You are the ninjas of Konoha."
