Ryota's smile quickly turned serious and he said, "Let's see who the masked people are."
Kakashi also did not continue his accusation to ryota ,when he heard Ryota's words
They quickly searched the masked people in front of them and found him and the Rock Shinobi's forehead in their clothes
Kakashi looked at the forehead protector in his hand and said, "They are ninjas from Rock Shinobi."
"Okay, burn the bodies of these people, and get ready to go, but first I will wash in the river in front of you to remove the blood on you."
Ryota gave Kakashi the order to burn the bodies and without forgetting to remind him to wash off the blood on his body
Kakashi quickly finished burning the bodies and went to the river to clean up the blood on him
Ryota sat at the edge of the river and waited for Kakashi to finish washing
Kakashi didn't make Ryota wait long and quickly finished washing
"Let's go!"
Ryota said to Kakashi, who finished washing and came in front of him
...
When the two returned to Konoha, it was already three days later.
After they entered Konoha, Kakashi said goodbye to Ryota and went home
After seeing Ryota's strength, Kakashi was motivated and couldn't wait to go home to train
After saying goodbye to Kakashi, Ryota went alone to the Hokage building to report on the mission.
"What! Surrounded by dozens of rock shinobi?!"
After listening to the mission process reported by Ryota.
Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but scream and stand up.
Unexpectedly, the originally simple mission had undergone such a major change.
If Ryota isn't strong enough, he and Kakashi won't be able to come back alive!
If other teams were to accept this mission in the first place, their death would be certain out of 9 out of 10
"Yes!" Ryota replied calmly and continued jokingly:
"Well, it would be more appropriate to say that I surround them instead of the other way around."
"Can you describe the characteristics of the person who leads these people based on his or her appearance?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyebrows twitched when he heard Ryota's joke, but he quickly calmed down and said
Ryota tried to remember the details and described them to Sarutobi Hiruzen in front of him
While searching the bodies, they removed the masks covering their faces, so Ryota saw his leader's face normally
Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly pulled out a stack of information files from under his desk.
According to the appearance characteristics mentioned by Ryota, he quickly searched.
The first page of the file also shows the words "Shinobi Rock Top Secret".
"Is this the man?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly extracted a piece of information along with pictures from a pile of files.
Ryota was a little surprised!
I didn't expect Konoha's intelligence department to be so powerful,
You can even get information and photos of Jōnin from the enemy village.
To know that every Jōnin in every village is important, And don't look at the Fourth Ninja War. The ninja army was large, but most of those ninjas were Genin and Chūnin.
"Yes, old man, this is the person."
Ryota glanced at the photo of the person in the file, and nodded.
"This guy is a Jōnin in Shinobi Rock Village and his position is not small." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed irritably:
"Unexpectedly, you meet an important Jōnin from Shinobi Rock Village and kill him in your first mission."
But he wasn't too surprised by Ryota's killing of a Jōnin from the enemy's village, because Ryota's power had always been there
After all, Ryota broke through to the Kage level at the age of 12,
Now even he doesn't know how strong he is, but at least he's stronger than him
The reason for his sigh and excitement is that Ryota was lucky to meet an important Jōnin from the enemy village on his first mission as soon as he returned and received the mission.
For a moment, he wanted to make Ryota accept more than one mission to see if he was still lucky and would meet the Jōnin in this way until he eliminated them
When Ryota heard Sarutobi Hiruzen sigh, he didn't care
According to him, even if he added all the Jōnin in Shinobi Rock Village, the same thing would remain and he would kill them easily
Because when power reaches a certain level, numbers no longer matter to it
After seeing that the mission process had been reported, Ryota said goodbye to the Third Hokage: "If there is nothing else, I will come back first, old man."
"Wait a minute!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped him when he saw that Ryota wanted to leave
Ryota looked at the Third Hokage curiously, wondering why he was stopping him
"Is there no news of Tsunade's return?"
The Third Hokage asked Ryota in front of him and handed him a file in his hand
Because with the information that reaches his office every day until now, it is due to problems on the borders of countries
He knows that this is a prelude to the beginning of a war
now the war it's just waiting for a fuse to start
Until now, no one knows what fuse will spark the war and start the Third Ninja War
Because of this, there was a shortage of high-level ninja
and, Tsunade is a medical ninja and her role cannot be covered by anyone when the war begins
So Sarutobi Hiruzen was clearly worried during this period and could not wait and asked Ryota in front of him as soon as he returned from the mission.
After all, Ryota is her beloved student, there is a high probability that she sent him a message this week because that he has been away from her during this time.
Because unfortunately, he also tried to send her a message these days, but he did not receive any response from her
Ryota looked a little surprised when hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's question.
He didn't understand why Sarutobi Hiruzen had asked that question about Tsunade so suddenly
But when he received the file that Sarutobi Hiruzen handed over and read it, the villages started moving on the borders of other countries, he understood why Sarutobi Hiruzen was asking about Tsunade.
So Ryota answered honestly: "No, you didn't send me anything."
"Okay, you can go and rest."
Although Sarutobi Hiruzen was disappointed when he heard Ryota's answer,but he changed his mood and said
"Then I'm leaving, old man."
After returning the file to Sarutobi Hiruzen, Ryota said goodbye again and left.
Sarutobi Hiruzen waved to Ryota for response
