Chapter 110 The End of the Old Era

Behind Nagato.

He also followed several messengers from Xiaoyin Village.

Konoha's side couldn't tell whether the other party was an enemy or a friend.

He seemed a little hesitant for a moment.

Seeing this, Obito fell down from the tree and walked in front of the Konoha team.

A squad leader came close to Obito and whispered.

"Sir Falcon, the man in front claims to be from Xiaoyin Village. Do you think...?"

Obito said with a smile.

"Don't be impatient, let me verify their identities."

The squad leader reminded: "Then please be careful."

"Do not worry."

Obito walked towards Nagato, and Nagato also greeted him.

Obito coughed twice and asked pretendingly.

"Are you really the messenger from Xiaoyin Village?"

Nagato suppressed a smile and nodded repeatedly.

"Well, yes, yes!"

Obito turned around when he heard this and walked back to Konoha's team.

Then Hui Chang said with certainty.

"Don't worry, everyone, the other party is indeed Xiaoyin Village, sent to pick us up."

Someone here in Konoha said in surprise.

"It turns out they are really friendly forces!"

on the next journey.

The two parties gathered together and rushed to the hidden village of Xiao.

The journey was uneventful.

After arriving at Xiaoyin Village.

Yahiko came forward in person with a group of backbones.

Welcoming the envoys from the Kingdom of Fire and their princess from the Kingdom of Rain.

Obito said with a sigh as he was in the dark.

"Hey, I'm afraid the days to come will be very boring..."

The delegation from the Country of Fire will stay in the Country of Rain for a month-long inspection.

And during this time.

Obito and the others need to follow them throughout the journey to ensure the safety of the envoys.

Yahiko and the others definitely have no time to talk to him.

Sister Yu Ji is probably the same...

But that's okay!

Obito looked at his teammates beside him.

There are exactly four people in my team, so we can still play mahjong!

Um……

Or call another team and let's play "Please Close Your Eyes After Dark" together.

…

Fire Nation.

Konoha.

During Obito's absence.

Something big happened in Konoha too.

In the Sandaime's office.

An ANBU kneeled in front of the Sandaime and said in a deep voice.

"Sir, the thorough investigation of the roots has been completed, except for what I reported to you last time..."

The ANBU hesitated for a moment, took a deep breath and said.

"...We were still in the root, and found a child who has mastered the wood escape!"

"Wood Release?!"

The Sandaime was surprised and happy when he heard this.

He broke the pipe in his hand with a "click".

No wonder the Sandaime was so excited.

The significance of the Wooden Ninja to Konoha is indeed extraordinary.

first.

The first Hokage who founded Konoha was best at the wood escape technique.

Secondly.

The sealing technique of Wood Release is very effective in sealing the Jinchūriki and is crucial!

at last.

Mu Dun, a blood-inherited boundary, has powerful power in itself.

With a little training, you can cultivate a strong person!

(…or a real estate developer?)

after awhile.

When the Sandaime calmed down.

Suddenly realizing a problem, he frowned deeply.

He asked looking at the ANBU in front of him.

"Where does this Wood Release ninja... come from?"

The ANBU ninja said hesitantly.

"According to the information we have learned, it seems to be through some kind of human experiment..."

Before he could finish speaking.

The Sandaime slammed the table hard, causing it to break in half.

"Danzo (gritting his teeth)!"

Back then, the Sandaime and Danzo were trying to develop the Blood Succession Limit of Wood Release.

Many volunteers were found in the village and volunteered to conduct a series of human experiments.

There are many volunteers among them who are of the blood of the Thousand Hands clan.

available during the experiment.

Almost all the volunteers died or were injured due to rejection of cell transplantation.

So the Sandaime made a quick decision and stopped the entire project.

"But this bastard went behind my back, in private...!"

The third generation's face was gloomy, almost dripping with water.

Without his own support, Danzo still completed the experiment.

What does this mean?

Someone must be secretly helping Danzo carry out the experiment!

And looking at the entire Konoha, there is only one person who can do this!

His filial and good disciple—Orochimaru!

The Sandaime suppressed the anger in his heart and growled.

"Go bring me Orochimaru!"

"yes!"

…

Half an hour later.

The ANBU from before returned again.

He knelt in front of the Sandaime and said solemnly.

"Sandaime-sama, we have searched every corner of the village, but there is still no trace of Orochimaru."

The Sandaime took a puff from his pipe and said in a faint tone.

"Are you saying that my apprentice...defected?"

The ANBU ninja said bravely.

"Yes, Orochimaru must have defected!"

The Sandaime said nothing and smoked his pipe silently.

The smoke he exhaled covered his face, making it difficult to see his expression clearly.

a long time.

The Sandaime said calmly.

"The knowledge, intelligence and technology possessed by Orochimaru are all precious assets of Konoha."

"If this information falls into other countries, Konoha will suffer huge losses."

"...If Orochimaru is classified as an S-class traitorous ninja, he must not be allowed to escape the Land of Fire."

The ANBU ninja nodded repeatedly, and then asked hesitantly.

"Sandaime-sama, that Wood Release ninja... should we take him under our command?"

The Sandaime shook his head and said.

"There happens to be a vacancy under the Yondaime. Let him join the ANBU directly under the Yondaime."

"Yes, I understand!"

The ANBU ninja stood up quickly and strode out of the office.

The Sandaime was alone, sitting in Noda's office.

Looking at the empty room, he sighed quietly.

Danzo...

Orochimaru……

The Sandaime laughed to himself.

He threw the pipe in his hand heavily to the ground.

…

the next day.

The Sandaime gathered his emotions and continued to get up early to handle official duties.

The squad leader under him was the ANBU from yesterday.

Now she is kneeling in front of him, reporting on the progress of yesterday's mission.

"..."

"...The Yondaime also provides full support. I believe that I can intercept Orochimaru before he escapes from the Land of Fire!"

The Sandaime rubbed his eyebrows and said a little tiredly.

"You did a good job, please step back."

The squad leader pondered for a moment and then spoke.

"Sandaime-sama, I have one more thing to report to you...Uchiha Shisui has applied to join the ANBU."

"The Yondaime was a little undecided and said he wanted to ask your opinion."

The Sandaime showed a look of reminiscence.

"Shisui... He is just like Kagami back then. He is a good boy who has inherited the will of fire."

The Sandaime chuckled twice, waved his hand and said.

"Let the Yondaime make his own decision. He is the current Hokage of Konoha."

"yes!"

The squad leader slowly stood up.

Before leaving the office, he quietly looked at the Sandaime again.

The once high-spirited Shinobu.

Now he has a head full of white hair, and his waist has been bent by the ruthless years.

At this time, he looked more like a lonely old man.

Alone, he endured the pain caused by the betrayal of old friends and apprentices.

For the growth of the next generation.

He wants to slowly downplay himself and let everyone forget his existence.

"The Third Generation Sir..."

The squad leader left with a complicated expression.

Perhaps, he was witnessing the end of an era with his own eyes.

But he also has the opportunity to witness the rise of another era.

He shook his head, no longer sad, and walked quickly towards the ANBU.

All for Konoha!
