"Snapped……"

The door to the Hokage's office slowly closed. Top 23S.

Fastest update

The Third Hokage looked at the empty office and leaned gently on the chair. After taking a long breath, his eyes involuntarily fell on the scroll he had placed in the corner.

After thinking for a moment, he stretched out his hand and took the scroll in his hand.

After looking at it, the Third Hokage sighed and said to himself: "I didn't expect this... I am too tired, or I am really old..."

As he spoke, he slowly unfolded the scroll, which contained only a few simple sentences.

If you want to start the decoy operation in advance, please be sure to hand over this operation plan to Chiba. Although Watanabe Kenshin has good qualifications and has accumulated a lot of practical experience in the Battle of Mount Kikyo and on the front line, he is not good enough to implement it.

This plan.

If you leave it to him rashly, fatal mistakes will definitely occur. This may not sound very good, but Kenshin still needs training and experience. The decoy operation is a big deal, so please leave it to Chiba.

Only Chiba can guarantee everything.

If there are really any mistakes, please leave the repair work to Chiba.

It is signed Nara Shikaku.

Obviously, this was a piece of advice given to the Third Hokage by Nara Shikaku, but for some reason it was placed in a corner by the Third Hokage.

Fortunately, Shikaku thought so thoroughly and gave this advice to me before leaving. As expected, Kenshin made a fatal mistake, and Chiba was ultimately required to come to the rescue.

The Third Hokage sighed, but the scruples in his heart were getting stronger and stronger.

The reason why he put this advice aside and did not adopt the opinions above, leaving everything to Watanabe Kenshin, and putting aside the ideas of "protecting the seeds" and "cultivating Watanabe Kenshin", is that, in the final analysis,

In fact, it was still because of that prophecy.

Although he was extremely reluctant to believe that the "son of destruction" was Chiba, he had to consider this possibility. After all, Chiba's performance was too close to the four words "knowing everything".

Therefore, when issuing tasks to Chiba, he was always a little hesitant. However, after seeing Nara Shikaku recommending Chiba in such a way, that layer of worry always lingered. In the end, this layer of worry made him transfer Nara Shikaku

The advice was put aside.

At this time, when he looked at this advice again, he felt very complicated.

On the one hand, he was worried about Qianye in terms of prophecy, and on the other hand, he was gratified by Qianye's performance just now.

On the other hand, it is the appreciation for Chiba’s talent.

And this series was intertwined. When Chiba proposed another solo mission for the sake of his partners, he couldn't help but simply agreed.

Some of it is related to Shikaku's advice, and there is also a suspicion of Chiba's guilt.

What's wrong with me... Are prophecies really that important?

Unable to help, the Third Hokage asked himself a question in his heart.

However, he did not give his answer, but remained silent. After a while, he picked up the pen and document again and continued to scribble.

Maybe, I should give Chiba more opportunities...

At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind.

At this time, at the gate of Konoha.

Under the arrangement of Huoma, Chiba got into the team gathered at the gate. Obviously, this team of 20 people was well-trained. Suddenly someone came in, and everyone just looked at Chiba carefully.

Ye, after remembering his appearance, went about their business, and no one showed any surprise or anything strange.

And when Huo Jian said that the mission needed to be changed, everyone readily agreed without any complaints.

Then, Huoma told everyone about the "radiation search".

At this time, Chiba realized that in Watanabe Kenshin's plan, there was no such thing as a divergent search at all. It was just a matter of following and annihilating the hostile ninjas after they were lured out.

In response to this, Chiba could only say "tsk", feeling quite dissatisfied.

Is this Watanabe Kenshin really a rising star that you want to train? What if the enemy ninja takes advantage of you to dispatch a large number of troops to attack and takes this opportunity to sneak into the village from the surrounding wings?

Moreover, two groups of people and horses are like a net. If the net is not open, how can we catch fish?

However, the dissatisfaction in my heart turned into dissatisfaction. Now that the arrow was on the string, Guan Ye and the other three had already left for about twelve minutes. Now was not the time to care about these things.

Chiba checked the ninja tool bag and confirmed the ninja tools inside.

Detonating charms...kunai...shurikens...and a few experimental sealing techniques, these probably won't be of use.

No military food pills...

After checking, Chiba discovered that since there was no mission to leave the village, most of the items in the ninja tool bag were left over from the last Sunagakure rescue mission. During this time, he was busy training and even forgot to replenish them.

.

This seems a bit unprepared...

A bad premonition arose in Chiba's heart, but now there was no time for him to buy ninja tools or the like.

At this time, Huo Jian had given instructions on all the details of the divergence exploration. Because he also had to cooperate with Guan Ye and the other three, he had to set off now.

Otherwise, they may be disconnected from the three decoys of Guan Ye, resulting in no way to carry out support and annihilation operations when they are attacked.

Although Guan Ye and the others were bait, they had no intention of letting Guan Ye and the others sacrifice themselves.

"Then... let's go!"

After everything was explained to several captains, Huoma gave an order. He had the authorization letter of the Third Hokage in his hand and had the command authority of the twenty-man team. After this order, twenty Konoha elite ninjas quickly

Ran out.

Chiba also left with him.

Huo Jian watched them leave, always looking at Qianye's little figure with a vague gaze.

Come back safely! Chiba!

After such a thought came to his mind, Kaima turned around and left, going back to report to the Third Hokage.

After the twenty-man elite troops sprang out, they were divided into five groups of four people each and dispersed. Except for the team that was in a straight line with the three-man Guanye route, the other four groups slowed down relatively.

Only the team in the middle line speeded up, chasing Guan Ye and the others, maintaining a distance where they could be supported at any time.

However, Chiba did not join any group of them. Instead, he moved forward alone, traveling at the fastest speed, even exceeding the speed of the team in the middle. It looked like he was going to

Arriving at the destination as quickly as possible.

After the twenty-person elite team and Chiba left, in a small forest quite far outside Konoha Village, a sneaking ninja narrowed his eyes slightly.

Sure enough, the captain was right to ask me to come and explore the situation! Konoha Village has not made any movements for two months. It is strictly guarded and does not give us any chance to sneak in. Suddenly, an outgoing team was sent out, and there were only three people.

It’s a teenager again… There is indeed a scam in this!

In this situation, Konoha Village needs to take big action!

It’s better to report to the captain quickly!

The ninja's eyes looked at a group of Konoha groups that were speeding towards him. He flashed and disappeared into the woods.

Five minutes later, the four-member Konoha team stepped on the branch where the ninja was, leaped out, and walked through.

"Look carefully and don't let any enemy ninja go. Once you find them, we will surround them and kill them!"

The leader of Konoha ninja spoke.

"Woof!"
Chapter completed!
