Chapter 552 Kakashi: Konoha's top brass is rotten
"Missing. People?"

Kakashi looked at Kurenai Yuhi in surprise. People missing from Konoha? Although he knew that a few people would go missing from Konoha from time to time, Konoha was too big, so it was normal for some people to go missing!

So, he didn't care!

Now that Xihi Kurenai actually asked this question, he couldn't help but become alert.

Did Xuan Yu say something to her again?
If nothing unexpected happened, this news should have been revealed to her by Xuan Yu, but, what did Xuan Yu want to do?
"Yes." Kurenai nodded, looking at Kakashi's surprised and confused eyes and a little disappointed, she slowly said: "Do you know that more than a hundred people disappeared in the past month, and they were all Konoha civilians!"

hiss~~
Kakashi took a deep breath when he heard the news.

This?
It's simply too horrific. More than a hundred people disappeared within a month. This is not a normal number of people lost in a village. It's even a little scary.

"Really?" Kakashi frowned and asked again.

"Of course it's true. Just now, Xuan Yu took us to receive a mission to investigate missing persons!" Xi Ri Hong nodded, and then said, "And those who have disappeared recently are all members of the Thousand Hands tribe!"

"There is also a mission to investigate missing persons?" Kakashi narrowed his eyes: "That should not have much to do with the Konoha high-level officials."

In Kakashi's opinion, if the disappearance of this population is related to the Konoha high-level officials and Sarutobi Hiruzen, this mission might not be issued.

"It's not a normal mission, it's..." Xi Ri Hong told Xuan Yu that he paid for the mission and accepted it himself, and then directly seized an opportunity: "Now. The Third Hokage may not know it yet!"

Uh?
Kakashi was stunned. If it was really as Xuan Yu said, then there must be something fishy going on.

"It seems that you don't know either!" Kurenai looked at Kakashi with a helpless tone...It seems that the disappearance of people was very secretive.

Most people don’t know.

"I'll investigate!" Kakashi also frowned, taking this matter very seriously. If there are too many missing people, someone must be tampering with it, or even conducting experiments!
Replicate Orochimaru's behavior back then.

I hope that this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't get involved.

"Yeah...I will also investigate it tomorrow!" Xiurihong also nodded. Tomorrow she will go to investigate with Xuanyu to see the pros and cons!

The two talked for a while and prepared to leave!

but,
At this moment, two masked men appeared in front of them and stopped Xihi Hong.

"Anbu ninja?" Yuhi Kurenai frowned as she looked at the two people blocking her way. She didn't seem to have any impression of being involved with Anbu ninja, so why did they stop her?

Kakashi also stopped and became solemn as he looked at the Anbu ninja!
This Anbu ninja looks like he has bad intentions. He was born as an Anbu ninja. Although he is not an Anbu ninja now, he still knows some of these things!
He is so eager to find Xi Ri Hong, there must be something urgent.

"Yuhi Kurenai!" One of the Anbu ninjas looked at Yuhi Kurenai and said directly: "The Hokage has chosen you as the teacher for the Chunin Examination. You will report to the preparation room starting tomorrow!"

"Huh? A teacher for the Chunin exam?" Yuhi Kurenai was stunned. She looked at the two ANBU ninjas and said, "I didn't want to be a teacher for the exam. Why did you choose me?"

"I don't know about that. It was the Hokage who gave the order!" The Anbu ninja looked at the confused Kurenai Yuhi and said, "Hokage asked you to report tomorrow!"

"But" Yuhi Kurenai wanted to say something. She was leading the disciples who were taking the Chunin exam, so why did she have to be the exam teacher?

The Anbu ninja obviously had no intention of letting Kurenai Yuhi continue her questioning, and continued: "Hokage also said that he hopes you can accept this arrangement for Konoha and not make things difficult for him!" "But I do." Kurenai Yuhi still wanted to explain that if she had a disciple who became a mentor, it might be unfair to other candidates.

However, before Kurenai Yuhi could finish her words, she was stopped by Kakashi. He looked at the two ANBU ninjas and said, "You guys go back and report. Kurenai Yuhi will report tomorrow!"

"Then let's get back to work!" When the Anbu ninja saw that Kakashi had agreed on behalf of Kurenai Yuhi, he didn't waste any more time and just turned away!

Now only Kurenai Yuhi and Kakashi are left!

Kurenai Yuhi looked at Kakashi and frowned: "Why don't you let me finish my words? I am obviously the teacher of this year's candidates, why do you want me to participate in the assessment?"

Until now, Xihihong is still a little confused.

Kakashi should have known this, but he still agreed for himself.

"Hehe. If I don't agree to it on your behalf, do you think you can refuse it?" Kakashi looked at Kurenai Yuhi and his tone became dull.

"Why not?" Xi Ri Hong was surprised.

"You also know the methods of the Third Hokage. If you directly refuse today, the news that you betrayed the Will of Fire of Konoha will spread in Konoha tomorrow, and your reputation will be ruined!" Kakashi looked at Yuhi Kurenai: "If you don't want that, you can only agree!"

hiss~~
Thinking of this, a hint of shock flashed across Xi Ri Hong's eyes, but she soon reacted.

The tragedy of the Third Hokage Kakashi's father is still vivid in our minds!

She was the one who had the conflict just now.

"But why did the Third Hokage let me take part in the Chunin Exam? He couldn't have been unaware that I'm the mentor of Xuan Yu and the other two!" Yuhi Kurenai looked at Kakashi and frowned: "If I were the examiner, then even if Xuan Yu and the other two passed the Chunin Exam, it would still be controversial."

Right now, Kurenai Yuhi is only thinking about Xuan Yu and the other two. If they participate in the Chunin exam, it will be controversial.

As she was thinking, her eyes suddenly opened and she looked at Kakashi: "Could it be that... the Third Hokage wants to target Xuan Yu?"

This idea is the correct answer in Xihihong's mind.

"The authorities are the most confused!" Kakashi looked at Yuhi Kurenai at the moment and shook his head: "I'm afraid it's more than that. Have you forgotten the mission you accepted today?"

"Mission?" Yuhi Kurenai murmured, and then her eyes suddenly lit up: "Are you saying that Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't want me to help Xuanyu track down the missing people?"

Kakashi nodded, and narrowed his only exposed eye: "The truth must be like this, Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to stop you from investigating the missing persons mission!"

"But the more he tries to stop us, the more the disappearance of the people will be linked to Sarutobi Hiruzen!"

"It seems there are some hidden things."

Kakashi's reasoning was very close to the truth, and at the same time his expression gradually turned cold!

If the missing population is really related to Sarutobi Hiruzen, then as Xuanyu said, the Konoha high-level officials are rotten to the core.
