Chapter 285 Konoha, Red Sunset, Akatsuki Organization

"So, the enemy just ran away?"

asked the Sandaime Hokage.

Hatake Kakashi nodded.

Although it is a bit unbelievable, Kakuzu did indeed run away.

Without a trace of hesitation, after his teammates were killed, he immediately chose to escape from the battlefield.

It's hard to evaluate this kind of ninja Kakashi.

The Sandaime Hokage put his pipe on the ashtray and shook it, looking deeply.

Kakashi and Tenzo had a brief battle with the enemy, and the ANBU team was completely destroyed after being breached head-on.

What an eventful time.

The Sandaime Hokage had a headache.

There are countless hidden masters in the ninja world, and no one can guarantee that one day they will capsize in the gutter.

Kakashi and the others were pretty lucky. The opponents they encountered were cautious and they immediately chose to retreat when they realized something was wrong.

If it were ANBU members from other ninja villages, the result would probably be a fight to the death.

By then, Kakashi and the others are likely to be seriously injured, and there is even a possibility of attrition.

In a ninja battle, even if it is many against one, it may not guarantee that one's side will win.

Just like the seven ninja swordsmen of Kirigakure Village back then, all of them were elite Jonin of Kirigakure Village.

There are many ninjas who can challenge the shadow level.

But the result was that the ten thousand years genin Matt Dai opened the eight doors angrily and kicked four of them to death, and three were seriously injured.

This was just something done by a genin in Konoha.

It was also because of this incident that the Sandaime Hokage began to pay attention to the cultivation of special talents from that time on.

Metkai, the sunset is red, the moonlight is strong and windy

Each of these people has their own strengths, physical skills, sword skills, illusion skills

As long as a Matt Dai can be cultivated, the Sandaime Hokage's plan will not be considered a failure.

A strong person comparable to Ying would be worthy of attention in any village.

Therefore, he could also understand Kakashi's choice not to pursue the victory and the enemy's choice to flee the battlefield immediately.

Everyone is right, they are all trying to survive.

At most, Kakuzu is just too careful.

A ninja in black robes, though?

Did Jiraiya mention some similar rumors in the letter he wrote?

The Sandaime Hokage pondered, the cigarette rod in his hand continued to burn wisps of smoke.

Kakashi stood aside, waiting for the Hokage's order.

The room was quiet for a long time.

When the tobacco was completely burned, the Sandaime Hokage woke up from a dream and thought for a moment.

"Kakashi, this matter is recorded in accordance with the S-level mission first, and the mission reward will be repaid to you later."

"By the way, when you go back, remember to visit Luke and tell him that there are 'nobles' from other countries who want to see him recently."

The Sandaime Hokage remembered that there was a shrine maiden from another country living in the village these days, and gave him a special reminder.

Luke was not in the village before, so the witch had to wait for a long time.

Now that people are back, it's their problem to prevent them from seeing them.

When Luke can relax from the fatigue of the journey in the past few days, he will arrange for them to meet and send the miko from the Kingdom of Ghosts back as soon as possible.

No matter what kind of disaster happens, Konoha can't afford it now.

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Kakashi agreed.

But he did not leave first. The Sandaime Hokage was a little confused, raised his head and asked:

"Kakashi, is there anything else?"

Hatake Kakashi nodded.

"Hokage-sama, I heard that the village will soon hold the Chuunin Joint Examination."

At the same time, at Luke's house.

Luke stretched out and there were messy documents and books on the table.

These are all materials copied from the collection of Wave Country and Yu Country.

Although this trip ended in a hurry, Luke got most of what he wanted.

Acorus is not at home. Uncle Ichiraku said that there have been a lot of tourists recently and the ramen stall is very busy, so he needs Acorus to help in the store these days.

The graduation of new genin means the emergence of new cheap labor, and some small businessmen can also hire ninjas.

It can not only ensure the "employment" problem of genin, but also promote the development of Konoha Village. It can be regarded as a relatively good closed-loop development.

Although Uncle Ichiraku won't understand this, after all, he is just a ramen chef, but he knows that as long as he works harder during this period, he can make more money.

Uncle Ichiraku's ramen is not expensive to begin with, and its main focus is small profits but quick turnover.

It's great to be able to earn a little more now. He also hopes to save enough money to expand his store in the future.

Although the money Luke makes now is enough for Uncle Ichiraku to open his own ramen restaurants throughout the Fire Country.

But Uncle Ichiraku and Acorus never asked him about borrowing money. They were as down-to-earth and hard-working as ever, no different from other ramen stall owners.

They are using their own efforts to win a better life.

Ichiraku and Iris are truly kind people in Konoha, and they are really not bad at being a good person.

Don't talk about Luke, just take "Prince" as an example.

The golden-haired boy has not yet been able to turn black. Konoha F4 and the villagers of Konoha, kneeling down to kowtow to Uncle Ichiraku and Iruka until they die, it is considered an advantage for them.

Of course, Calamus doesn’t come home.

It didn't mean Luke was going hungry.

"Lu Jun, lunch is ready."

Yuhi Hong knocked on the door gently and asked softly outside the door.

After returning from the country of Sichuan, Yuhi Hong couldn't wait to move into Luke's house and take care of Luke's food, clothing and daily life.

This is also the real reason why Iris has time to go to Ichiraku Ramen to help.

Yuhi Hong did not choose to go in directly, but waited outside for Luke's answer.

If Luke remained silent or said it was not needed yet, Yuhi Hong would retreat to the kitchen and wait for Luke to come out before reheating the food.

If she agrees, she will immediately get up and bring the food from the kitchen.

Get everything ready before Luke comes out.

It has to be said that the last sentence of Yuhi Mahong, "entrusting the will of fire to his grandson", makes today's Yuhi Hong almost full of all the skills of a housewife.

And as a ninja, she can often handle all the trivial matters more quickly, and can also take care of Luke's emotions in a timely manner.

As a new wife, these two words are engraved in my bones.

There is no hint of the bold and bold character of the ninja period.

It would be better to say that the boldness turned into some emotions~

"I'll be here in a minute, please, Red."

"Do you need my help, Mr. Lu?"

Hearing the sound of paper flipping in the room, Yuhi Hong asked outside the door.

"No, Red, I can handle it."

"Okay, Mr. Lu, I'll wait for you to come down in the restaurant."

Yuhi Hong responded.

After saying that, the figure flashed and appeared in the kitchen.

Use chakra to firmly absorb dishes, chopsticks, and dishes, and quickly arrange the table in order.

After cleaning up the housework for so many days, Yuhi Hong has gained a little in this regard.

After filling the rice bowl and placing it steadily on the dining table, Yuhi Hong sat across from the square table and did not move her chopsticks first.

Instead, wait for Luke to come down before eating.

Luke actually said many times before that she should eat first without waiting for him.

But not once did Yuhi Kurenai do what Luke said.

She has really completely assumed the identity of her wife, although Luke has never confirmed her identity with Hong.

The two of them have never confessed their love, but now they get along like an old couple who have been together for decades.

However, Luke didn't have any objections.

After all, the last person who raised him like this was Iris.

Luke has become accustomed to a life of being taken care of by someone, whether it is Iris or Yuhihong.

If he doesn't refuse or take the initiative, he will still be responsible if he is irresponsible.

Luke was not really born without mercy. Even if he was the cowherd Luke who slept among women, there would still be a few women he really cared about.

Some people, if they can endure it, will stay with them.

In this regard, he is definitely not the one who suffers.

However, Yuhi Kurenai's actions still aroused discussion among Konoha's top brass.

After all, both Luke and Yuhi Kurenai's identities are too sensitive.

The former is a great writer who is focused on by the great names and nobles of the Fire Country, and is ready to be given to the Fire Country bureaucrats and emerging nobles.

The latter is a famous jounin in Konoha Village, and the Yuhi family is also a relatively famous genjutsu family. The most important thing is that she herself is the "future daughter-in-law" hand-picked by the third generation Hokage.

Heads of various departments and families, who don't know that Asuma Sarutobi, the son of the Third Hokage, began to pursue Kurenai Yuhi when he was in the ninja school.

Although it has not been successful until now.

But judging from Yuhi Kurenai's gradually changing attitude towards Asuma in the past few years, it was only a matter of time before the two of them became friends.

Many families in Konoha have already placed their bets in advance.

Like the Hinata family, the exclusive old dog loyal to the Sandaime Hokage, they couldn't wait to push the patriarch's daughter over.

Then the other two tribes made do with a so-called reconnaissance squad.

How many kilometers of Byakugan's reconnaissance range needs to be reconnoitred by other ninjutsu families in Konoha?

It's too outrageous to fool a child.

Where is the face? The Hyuga clan has lost all face? !

The three clans of Pig, Deer, and Butterfly cursed secretly, and then silently sent their daughters and sons to Asuma.

Everyone is just hanging out under the Sandaime Hokage.

Zhuludie is not a limited blood family, but a secret family.

Their competitiveness is not as good as Hinata's, so they have to hold on to the Sandaime's lap.

Originally, everyone had a bright future, and maybe they would be able to find a position like Hokage's assistant or elder in a few decades.

But what no one expected was that Kurenai Yuhi got married!

Good news: Yuhi Kurenai claims to the outside world that she is married and no longer engages in ninja activities.

Bad news: It has nothing to do with Asuma.

After hearing the news, the patriarchs of each family cut off with Yuhi Hong overnight.

What kind of reconnaissance class is not a reconnaissance class? We have never thought of establishing this kind of so-called ninja class.

A normal ninja squad should be a standard three-person team for treatment, reconnaissance, and combat.

Hinata Hiashi's daughter joined another jounin the next day.

If you look closely, you can see that he is Sarutobi Asuma's cousin.

For a time, the entire Konoha was in turmoil, and each family thought something was going to happen.

But several days had passed since Luke returned to the village. Kurenai Yuhi was coming in and out of Luke's house, and the Third Hokage didn't say anything.

Asuma Sarutobi, the son of the Sandaime Hokage and the trigger of the incident, has been living in seclusion for many days and rarely participates in jounin meetings and high-level meetings.

The whole person seems to be autistic.

The chiefs of the three clans of the Pig, Deer, and Butterflies wanted to ask the children to find out about Asuma's specific condition, but they didn't have any specific information.

Not only that, the team that Asuma originally led was also given to a jounin from the Sarutobi family to temporarily take the position of instructor.

It's hard for each family to say anything about this abnormal phenomenon.

We can only carefully send people to watch and see if Luke will be hit by hundreds of shurikens one day and be judged as suicide.

Of course, this conjecture has not come true yet.

"Lu Jun, is it delicious?"

Xiri Hong's eyes were burning.

Luke nodded.

"It tastes good, what's wrong, Hong, don't you want to eat?"

Looking at the food in front of Hong, Luke asked.

Xiri Hong shook his head slightly.

"I'm not hungry yet."

Besides, there will be more important things to eat later.

Perhaps she was a little tired after making lunch, Xiri Hong's eyes were a little hazy, even with a little moisture.

Luke continued to eat.

After a few days of getting along, Xiri Hong looked like a married woman, but after all, she was a young person who was enjoying sex for the first time.

What she wanted, Luke, the old driver, knew very well.

Eat more, or you won't have the strength.

"Kakuzu, I'll find you another teammate in a while."

"Thank you, I'll go back first if nothing else."

Kakuzu looked calm and composed, and Feidan's body was placed aside.

He had just reported Feidan's cause of death "truthfully" and was now thinking about running.

Nagato controlled Pain and nodded expressionlessly.

"Go back and rest, someone will send you the reward."

Although the mission failed, one of the official members died, and the compensation should still be given.

After all, they really put in a lot of effort, so they should be given some money to calm down.

Kakuzu left here directly with the instant body technique.

"Nagato, do you think what Kakuzu said is true?"

Konan couldn't help but ask after Kakuzu left here.

Kakuzu's statement has many loopholes.

According to what he said, there was a wood escape ninja in the ninja team sent by Konoha.

That ninja used wood escape to "suck" Feidan alive.

Finally, Hidan was hit head-on by Hatake Kakashi's Lightning Release and unfortunately died.

He had no choice but to retreat.

It seems to make sense. The first generation's Wood Release does have the ability to wrap around the enemy to absorb chakra and vitality.

Now looking at Hidan's body, it seems that the body was carbonized by Lightning Release.

According to intelligence, Hatake Kakashi does have his own lightning attribute ninjutsu, and it is amazingly powerful.

However, does Hidan's immortality have anything to do with chakra?

Konan doesn't know the principle of immortality, but this is a key point about life, and Hidan can't tell others even if he is crazy.

Maybe once Hidan's chakra is exhausted, his immortality will become invalid.

This speculation is not impossible.

After all, too powerful abilities will inevitably have some limitations.

For example, Nagato's Samsara Eye, although the Sage's Eye is indeed powerful and can push the ninja village flat, it also caused Nagato's body to become weaker and weaker.

Now he has become a complete skeleton.

It seems that Feidan's immortality has flaws, but he can accept it?

Konan is not sure.

Pein looked at the calm, well-defined face with a stiff and mechanical expression.

"Don't worry about whether it's true or not, Konan, he's dead, find someone to replace him."

Pein's voice sounded a little cold and ruthless.

The mission failed, Luke was not brought back, so let's change people, Akatsuki doesn't need weaklings.

"Konan, let Itachi come over" (End of this chapter)
