Chapter 12 Sarutobi Hiruzen
Hearing Sawara Kiri's voice, Namikaze Minato didn't know how to respond for a moment.

In other words, he was even a little unsure whether the person in front of him was the acquaintance he remembered as having graduated in the same year and class as him.

Whether it was the two headless bodies on the ground, the bloody smell, the bumpy ground, or Sawara Kiri standing there unscathed.
All observable details showed the dangerousness of this young man in front of him who looked about the same age as himself.

Not to mention, in Minato Namikaze's perception, the intense chakra reaction coming from the other party's body was like a burning torch.

After hesitating for a long time, Minato Namikaze jumped down from the roof and gradually approached.

However, there was still some doubt in his voice:

"You are Sahara-kun."

"Right?"

However, compared to Namikaze Minato's cautiousness, Sawara Kiri seemed to have expected this. He slightly opened his hands, trying to make a non-aggressive gesture, and said gently:

"Yes."

"Jounin Squad, Intelligence Agency, Second Class Counselor."

"Sahara Kiri."

Without waiting for Minato Namikaze to continue asking questions, he had already stepped back half a step, letting go of the S-class intelligence box and the other two corpses on the ground, and reminded:
"But before that."

"Please keep the important village secrets for now."

Sawara Kiri turned his head and gestured towards the distance: "A lot of people should be coming here in a while."

"As for the rest, I will report to the Sandaime-sama personally."

"."

"it is good."

Hearing this, Minato Namikaze looked at him deeply.

As an Anbu, he knew very well that there were some things that not just anyone could interfere with.

Therefore, even though he was extremely curious about Sawara Kiri at this moment, he forced himself to endure it and had no intention of asking any questions.

Then, he quickly searched the bodies of Huirang and Yuantu, took out the Tsunade mission information from the bodies' arms, and stuffed it into the S-class storage box that had been violently broken open.

In just a short period of time, the large group of people in the rear had arrived at the scene under the guidance of several Hyuga ninjas.

Uchiha Yayoi and her guard team members jumped down from the roof first and ran towards this side quickly.

Only after seeing the two horrific corpses on the ground did he slow down his pace a little.

However, the pair of two-magatama Sharingan looked at Namikaze Minato who was holding the S-class sealing box with a slightly fearful look.

Obviously.

This was a misunderstanding on her part.

Just when Uchiha Yayoi was somewhat concerned about the other party's identity as an Anbu and was hesitant about whether he should step forward to take over.

Out of the corner of my eye I caught a glimpse of Sahara Kiri standing in the corner.

"fog?!"

Almost instinctively, Uchiha Yayoi rushed to him, subconsciously grabbed his sleeve that exploded when he punched, tightly grasped his shoulders, and said in a hurried voice:

"Why are you here?"

"You're not hurt!"

Even though he had acted decisively and swiftly just now, the blood that spurted out from the beheading of Yuan Tu and the gray soil still dyed half of Sawara Kiri's clothes red, making him look like he was about to die from his injuries.

Minato Namikaze turned his head to look at them, and his eyebrows under the mask twitched inadvertently.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Sahara Kiri waved his hands repeatedly and said gently to comfort her: "Look, I'm fine."

After quickly checking his body and confirming that the bloodstains were indeed from others, Uchiha Yayoi breathed a sigh of relief and whispered:

"Really."

"Just stay home after curfew. It's very dangerous to go out at this time."

"I also met those people on my way home from get off work." Sawara Kiri explained in a low voice.

"Anyway!" Uchiha Yayoi said firmly, and his eyes swept in the direction of the crowd that was gradually gathering around him, and he said decisively, "You will have nothing to do here for a while. When you leave, rest in our security department lounge for a night, and go home during the day."

As if she was afraid that Sawara Kiri didn't understand the ins and outs of this, Miss Yayoi made a special explanation: "These people committed a big crime tonight, and I'm afraid the whole village will have to do a 'big cleanup' tomorrow."

"You have come into contact with the criminal today. If you are taken away by the Anbu and the Interrogation Department during the strict investigation, the Security Department will not be able to intervene. I can't say what those perverts will do to you."

It was obvious that Miss Yayoi was determined to save him before the interrogation process even began.

After hearing what Uchiha Yayoi said, even though Sawara Kiri was indeed an undercover agent, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

However, he still let out a sigh of relief helplessly and declined:

"Sorry, Yayoi."

"In a little while, I might have to go see the Third Generation Master." "Huh?"

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Minato Namikaze held the box and stood quietly there.

In just a short while, several figures in black uniforms appeared beside him.

The man in the front was different from the Anbu around him, he was not wearing a mask and was still in his regular clothes, except for his silver hair that was glowing in the moonlight. He had a short sword on his waist and a Hokage half-sleeve on his shoulders.

He only took a glance at the bodies on the ground and recognized that both of them were killed by extremely fast physical skills and a kind of extremely explosive close-range ninjutsu.

When he turned to look at Minato Namikaze, there was a hint of approval in his eyes.

"Minato-kun, is this a newly developed ninjutsu?"

"This blow between the chest and abdomen actually completely broke through the earth escape's defense and directly shattered the chest and abdomen."

“It’s really an amazing destructive force.”

"I'm afraid even I have to be careful when dealing with this kind of attack."

Hearing such praise from the man in front of him, Minato Namikaze couldn't help but reveal a little embarrassment on his face hidden under the mask, and quickly corrected in a low voice:

"Sakumo-sama."

"I didn't kill these two spies."

"It's that person."

Upon hearing this, Hatake Sakumo was stunned and turned to look in the direction of Namikaze Minato's finger.

Then, he saw the young man with half of his body stained with blood, meeting his gaze with his deep blue eyes.

As if noticing the surprise in his eyes, the other party nodded to him gently.

Strange faces.

"he is.?"

Hatake Sakumo was also a little confused.

Logically speaking, he should have seen a young man with such strength at this age.

Namikaze Minato then got to the point and said seriously: "Regarding this matter, I need to tell you the whole process of what I saw, and then relay it to the Third Hokage as soon as possible."

"Please keep it secret for now."

Hearing him say this, Hatake Sakumo's expression suddenly turned solemn.

An hour later, the Hokage Building.

The Hokage Building, which had been blasted into a dangerous building by a large-scale ninjutsu not long ago, was completely repaired in a very short time with the joint efforts of many earth-style ninjas.

However, the clutter in the Hokage's office can only be cleared out temporarily.

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was urgently awakened from his sleep, was sitting at the newly moved desk downstairs. Next to him were the Hokage's advisor Danzo Shimura and the Sandaime's most proud disciple Orochimaru.

On the desk in front of him was a ninja file that had obviously been looked through several times, recording all of Sawara Kiri's experiences from childhood to adulthood and his grades in various subjects.

Standing in front of them were Hatake Sakumo, Namikaze Minato, Uchiha Yayoi and Sahara Kiri.

Minato Namikaze is describing the causes and consequences of this incident in a brief and accurate report.

Even though he had just been awakened, the current Sarutobi Hiruzen was not the old and corrupt self he would be twenty years later.

He has plenty of energy whether in official duties or fighting.

At least so far, his name of 'Ninja Hero' is still worthy of its reputation.

soon.

After listening to the overall report from the Anbu and the Security Department, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned his head and looked at Sawara Kiri, who was standing on the far right and had a very weak presence, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

However, he did not hastily make any judgment based on this clue. Instead, he spoke in a generous tone:

"Sahara-kun."

"I can see you every day in the Hokage Building, but I haven't discovered a talent like you for so long. It's my fault as the Hokage."

"Now that you have made great contributions to the village, you will certainly receive the rewards you deserve."

“But before that.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen's tone suddenly changed, and as he mobilized his vast chakra, even his eyes were filled with extremely heavy pressure.

For a moment, the whole room seemed to be shaking.

Only his voice was as calm as usual:
"During such a critical period of war."

"Why do you want to hide your strength?"
