Konoha's entry is ninja!

Walking out from behind the tree, Uchiha Shisui looked at the corpses on the ground with astonishment.

This was the first time he had seen the power of a grenade.

Hoshita Shuichi was very satisfied with the first battle with the grenade, and smiled and said: It's a small design, Shisui, you will know about it later.

Uchiha Shisui understood immediately and nodded without asking further questions.

Stepping forward, Xingxiaxiu opened his mouth and fired a ball of fire, covering the entire body and setting it on fire.

With his amount of chakra, although he couldn't melt those iron beads, it was enough to destroy the traces of the battlefield, making it impossible for anyone to see through the mystery of the grenade.

After doing this, Hoshita Shuichi and Uchiha Shisui turned around and chased Kurama Sanyo.

10 minutes later.

Hoshita Shuichi and Kurama Sanyo met up with Kurama Sanyo and returned the same way. After entering the Land of Fire, they were supported by an ANBU team.

Unlike the previous Sarutobi Shinnosuke, all members of this ANBU team wore animal masks.

If you are not a familiar person, it is difficult to tell their identity.

And these people did not talk to Hoshixia Shuichi and the others, but were distributed on the periphery to protect Hoshixia Shuichi and the four others.

Uchiha Shisui and Kurama Sanyo took the time to rest, Hoshita Shuichi took another soldier's food pill, and then continued to treat Haneda Koichi's injuries.

He is not very proficient in Palm Senjutsu, and it will take longer to heal the deep wounds on Haneda Koichi's body, which means more chakra will be consumed.

As for Namikaze Minato and Sarutobi Shinnosuke, the latter Hoshita Shuichi didn't know the specific strength, but he believed in Namikaze Minato and the Flying Thunder God.

Time passes little by little.

An hour later, those ANBU ninjas suddenly made some movement, and two of them headed west.

Hoshita Shuichi and Uchiha Shisui looked at each other, both showing joy.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Namikaze Minato to appear in everyone's sight.

Minato-sensei!

Hoshita Shuichi and the other two people all came forward to greet him.

Namikaze Minato smiled and said, You have completed this mission very well.

Over there, Sarutobi Shinnosuke also came over after handing over to the ANBU team, and said to Shuichi Hoshita: Shuichi, I'm sorry, you couldn't bring back your kunai.

After hearing this, Shuichi Hoshita hurriedly spat out the beautiful words: Ninja tools are only consumables, but companions are not.

This sentence made everyone raise their eyebrows. While Namikaze Minato and the others were thinking about it secretly, Kurama Sanyo was already excitedly shouting: Shuichi's words are so right!

Sarutobi Shinnosuke also nodded appreciatively, feeling from the bottom of his heart that his father had seen the right person.

Namikaze Minato patted Hoshita Shuichi on the shoulder and said with a smile: You guys are doing a good job. Let's rest first, and then we can set off back to Konoha.

Hoshita Shuichi and the other three nodded, they really needed to rest.

However, after the handover with Sarutobi Shinnosuke, the ANBU team took Haneda Koichi back to Konoha first.

In the woods, while taking a rest, Kurama Sanyo couldn't help but ask: Minato-sensei, are you a Suna ninja?

Namikaze Minato glanced at Sarutobi Shinnosuke, then nodded: It's the Suna Ninja.

Related to our last mission, there are signs of Suna Ninja and Hanzo joining forces, and it's because of the River Country.

Uchiha Shisui quickly asked: Minato-sensei, are the Suna Ninja planning to join forces with the Rain Ninja to fight for the Kingdom of the River with us?

What's the benefit of doing this to the Sand Ninja? Even if we join forces with the Rain Ninja to take over the River Country, the benefits still need to be distributed.

Namikaze Minato nodded: Shisui, your analysis is correct, but the Suna Ninja have the upper hand when facing the Rain Ninja, but they are at a disadvantage when facing us Konoha.

Secondly, the River Country has not turned against us, Konoha.

What?

Uchiha Shisui and Kurama Sanyo were both stunned and couldn't understand.

After all, the evidence for the last mission was complete. Could the daimyo of the River Country turn a blind eye to the evil deeds of the Sand Ninja?

Hoshita Shuichi thought: Minato-sensei, there shouldn't be more than a competition for the River Country's mission, right?

Sarutobi Shinnosuke was surprised, but Namikaze Minato smiled and said, As expected of Shuichi.

and……

Hoshita Shuichi looked at Uchiha Shisui and Kurama Sanyo: For the daimyo of the River Country, that village actually doesn't matter.

Being caught between big powers, the best situation is to swing from side to side and gain benefits, rather than completely surrendering to one side, unless that side has absolute strength.

Having said that, Hoshita Shuichi doubted whether Danzo was involved.

It's not that he's Black Danzo, it's that this guy is a radical.

Sarutobi Hiruzen left the dirty work to Danzo, and at the same time gave Danzo the opportunity to accumulate his own strength and ambition.

What happened in that village last time, would Danzo throw the evidence in front of the daimyo of the River Country, and then kindly convince the daimyo of the River Country to completely abandon the Suna Ninja?

Now, Hoshita Shuichi even believes that Danzo will use a tough attitude to force the River Country.

Or even, if you make some malicious speculations, could Danzo intentionally use this to stir up disputes?

…

After hearing Hoshita Shuichi's words, Uchiha Shisui fell into deep thought, while Kurama Sanyo was puzzled.

He doesn't understand politics.

Hoshita Shuichi doesn't understand it very well, but he understands a little.

After resting for about two hours, Hoshita Shuichi and the other five people set off back to Konoha. It was already night when they arrived.

After handing in the mission at the Hokage Building, Namikaze Minato announced a three-day holiday.

After disbanding and going home, Hoshixia Xiuyi took a nice bath and then went out for a big meal.

When I came out of the hotel, I happened to see Tianyun wearing a kimono. Her graceful figure was pleasing to the eye. She immediately stepped forward and said, Sister Tianyun!

Tianyun turned around and looked at Hoshixia Xiuyi in surprise: Xiuyi, didn't you say it would take half a month?

Hoshixia Xiuyi smiled and said: The mission ended early.

He looked up and down at the bumpy Tianyun, and joked: Sister Tianyun is dressed so beautifully, are you going on a blind date?

A red cloud appeared on Tianyun's face, and then he snorted softly: Am I the one who needs a blind date?

Then he added: I came out with my sister, who is about to get engaged.

elder sister?

got engaged?

It was the first time Hoshixia Xiuyi knew that Tianyun had a sister, and he quickly smiled and congratulated her.

Tianyun put his arm around Hoshixia Xiuyi's shoulders and said: If you are in the village then, you must come as a distinguished guest of our family.

Xingxia Xiuyi agreed, and he didn't mind getting closer to Tianyun's family at all.

…

When he got home, he threw the bags on the ground, and Xingxiaxiu threw himself on the sofa: Sure enough, no matter where you are, shopping with women is the most tiring.

After spending an hour shopping with Tianyun, he felt even more tired than when he was on a mission.

But Tianyun also bought him a lot of things.

Clothes, shoes, magatama pendants, etc.

After taking a rest, Hoshixia Xiuyi packed up the things Tianyun gave him and then fell asleep.

Go to bed early today and start a three-day assault training tomorrow.

As for vacation?

does not exist!

However, when Hoshita Hideichi fell asleep beautifully, the Hokage Building was still brightly lit.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo, Koharu Koharu, and Mito Kaden were gathered together at this moment.

Danzo, you shouldn't force River Country like that, that is a daimyo after all.

Mito Kabuto complained.

Danzo said calmly: But facts have proven that our methods are still too weak.

If the Third Kazekage can help the River Country find iron ore, it is inevitable that the River Country will fall to the Sand Ninja.

Unless we let the daimyo of River Country know that without Konoha, they will not be able to mine iron ore with peace of mind.

You know, there are a lot of ninja organizations in the Kingdom of Rain now. Since Sand Ninja and Rain Ninja can hire them to deal with us, it is natural for these ninja organizations to enter the Kingdom of River.

So, it's not going to be that hard to get this thing sorted out once and for all.

After turning to bed, Koharu said: What Danzo said makes sense. We are not talking about whose responsibility it is now.

She looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen: Hiruzen, what are you going to do about this?

Sarutobi Hiruzen exhaled a puff of smoke and said solemnly: The tasks of the River Country must not be thrown away.

Besides, Hanzo and Suna Ninja cannot be allowed to join forces.

Danzo, leave this matter to the roots.

Although he was a little disappointed, Danzo still nodded in agreement.

Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered: As for the cooperation between River Country and Sand Ninja, I will let Sakumo investigate this matter.
