From undercover in Konoha, to I am the Hokage!

Chapter 194 Mission Objectives
"call"

The lightning in Kakashi's hand stopped, but his expression was still serious as he looked at the tall man whose body was charred and lying on the ground. He held the short knife upside down in his hand with a vigilant look.

"Damn you little brats."

Winter Bear Frost Rain supported his body and climbed up with one hand.

Although the chakra armor on his body could not compare with the special shape of the adult, it still managed to block the fatal blow just now. However, the numbness in his body continued to spread, and his expression became more and more ferocious.

"puff!"

But before he could get up from the ground.

I saw a kunai piercing straight into my heart from behind, splashing a streak of bright red blood.

Kakashi, Obito and the others were all startled, and looked in amazement at Mei Terumi who was standing behind Dong Xiong Frozen Rain.

"idiot."

Mei Terumi shook off the blood stain on her kunai, reflecting a patch of red in the snow, and said coldly: "If we don't take this opportunity to kill him, do we have to wait for him to finish his words?"

"What an ignorant bunch of people."

After saying that, without waiting for the children to react, Mei Terumi walked up to Fenghua Koyuki on her own and took the initiative to take on the task of protecting her.

Only then did Kakashi rub his silver hair and look in the direction of Sawara Kiri as if a little embarrassed.

Just now, I did hesitate - or rather, I didn't adjust my mindset for a while.

He even treated it as if he was in a battle at a ninja school, and habitually waited for the defeated classmates to nag him.

"This habit needs to be corrected."

But soon, Kakashi reacted immediately, and looked vigilantly in the direction of the guards beside Fenghua Hayate, and quickly walked up to the Snow Country Daimyo who still looked frightened, and lowered his voice:

"Daimyo-sama, we need to move as soon as possible."

"We have just arrived at the safe house and have been discovered by the enemy. This means that there is a high probability that there are some unstable factors among your guards."

"For the rest of the journey, we need to take you and Princess Xiaoxue away alone."

"Please dismiss the guards."

"what?"

Before Fenghua Zaoxue could react, the guards around him had already started cursing.

"Arrogant ninja! What did you say?"

"Are you slandering a noble warrior?!"

"We were fine when we were at the train station, but the enemy showed up as soon as you arrived. One of you must have been bribed!"

"Damn guy"

The guards around were clamoring. The guards who were able to stay by Feng Hua Zaoxue's side at this time were all people whom the other party trusted and relied on. They were all from reliable noble families. It was natural for them to react like this when they were suddenly questioned.

However, Kakashi completely ignored their scolding and looked calmly at the daimyo in front of him.

Teacher Kiri made it clear from the very beginning that this operation was not only a mission but also a test for their team as a whole. It was related to their Ninja High School assessment. Even a genius like him would never dare to be careless.

Sawara Kiri looked at the scene from afar and shook his head slightly.

Kakashi was still too young. He just exposed the matter directly and left it to the mission target to decide the means, which was too immature.

Only his observation ability is pretty good.

The captain of the other team, Mei Terumi, also looked quietly at the guards around her, her figure looming in front of Fenghua Zaoyuki and others, ready to prevent the traitor from suddenly attacking and hurting people.

Unexpectedly, Fenghua Zaoxue, who was always gentle and known for her kindness and gentleness, suddenly shouted after being silent for a long time, interrupting the scolding of the guards.

"enough!"

The guards suddenly fell silent and looked in the direction of the daimyo.

Fuuka Hayate looked at her worried daughter and the Konoha ninjas who were always on guard. Finally, she looked at Sawara Kiri and Namikaze Minato who had been standing in the distance for a while but were somehow completely ignored by Dong Xiong Frost Rain. She made up her mind:
"You are also loyal people who have followed me for a long time. How can you be so presumptuous in front of the elders of Konoha!"

"What's more, following me now is indeed full of dangers. As ordinary people, we are too powerless in front of ninjas."

Hearing this, the guards were stunned at first, and then they all lowered their heads.

This is the truth that cannot be more clear.

During the days they followed the daimyo, apart from being able to do some odd jobs, they were no match for those wandering ninjas.

As a result, the number of guards at the beginning was also constantly hunted down, from dozens of people at the beginning to only two or three cats and kittens now - most of them were used as bait to lure away stray ninjas.

Fenghua Zaoyuki looked at them solemnly, and said calmly: "I know all about your loyalty, but now that the elders of Konoha have ordered so, you should scatter and escape."

"If I fail to return to the capital alive in the future, it may be a good thing for you guys."

Hatake Kakashi and others just watched quietly from the side.

Although some guards still had doubts, they were all persuaded by Feng Hua Zaoxue one by one, and finally all dispersed.

Only Xiaoxue was holding onto the corner of her father's clothes tightly, looking at the surrounding ninjas with a vigilant look on her face.

As a noble, she was always on high alert against these ninjas who could be ordered around just because they had money, and this was not something that could be dispelled with just a few words.

Now seeing the 'loyal' guards walking away one by one, the sense of vigilance in my heart became even stronger.

Fenghua Zaoxue also noticed that her daughter's hand was tightly grasping the corner of her clothes. After the guards walked away, she said gently:

"Don't worry."

"A great man like Sawara Kiri would not abandon his long-accumulated reputation for a mission of this magnitude."

"Yes, father."

Fenghua Xiaoxue loosened her grip on the corner of his clothes a little, but still held on.

Kakashi had a changed opinion of this kind daimyo.

When it’s time to make a decision, do you still have the courage to go all out?
"Dear ninjas, what shall I do next?"

After comforting her daughter, Fuuka Hayate looked up at Kakashi again - actually, it was Sawara Kiri who was behind him.

Hatake Kakashi said calmly: "Leave this border city first, move inland, and hide your identity."

"The Snow Country is not big. As long as we can ensure the safety of you and the princess, we have enough time to find the stray ninjas that are after you and defeat them separately."

That was his plan.

Sawara Kirin just listened quietly by the side without giving any instructions.

Except for players like him who have cheats, no one's strength is achieved overnight.

Even a genius like Kakashi needs time to hone his skills.

"I understand."

After Fuuka Hayate agreed, Kakashi immediately began to command his companions around him to carry Fuuka Hayate and Fuuka Hayate on their backs and quickly leave the city along the path.

Soon after they left.

"Lord Nutao, this is exactly the place."

A guard who had just left came to the previous battlefield quickly with a tall and strong man.

Fenghua Nutao looked calm, and he had two subordinates, a man and a woman, following him.

As soon as I turned the corner, I saw Winter Bear's charred body lying on the ground in the freezing rain.

However, there was no expression on his face. He just leaned over and touched the snow, observing the footprints around him:
"You haven't been away for long, so I think you've done a great job this time."

"Thank you, sir!"

The guard immediately half-knelt on the ground.

Fenghua Nutao looked at the traces on the ground calmly, frowning slightly: "There are a total of six people involved in the battle, leaving in the northwest direction."

"Besides that, are there Sahara Kiri and a little-known Konoha jonin?"

"How did my brother recruit such a monster under his command?"

Hearing Feng Hua Nu Tao's words, a frivolous man with a slender figure and long lavender hair standing behind him slightly raised the corners of his mouth and said disdainfully:

"Devil's Mist has a great reputation."

"He's just a ninja."

"Boss, that idiot Frozen Rain was just too careless. He didn't even have time to replace his chakra armor with the latest one."

"If it were you, you would definitely kill that guy!"

Langya Avalanche looked up at him excitedly, or rather, at the piece of broken jade inlaid on his forehead.

Having experienced it personally, they knew exactly what kind of power this adult possessed.

So what if it’s the rumored Sawara Kiri?
He is just one of the 'Jade Ninjas' who is powerful by relying on the Four Souls Jade.

Now, their boss is also possessed by the divine jade. Who says he is definitely worse than that guy?

"Avalanche, you talk too much."

Fenghua Nutao's tone was indifferent, but there was a sense of heroism in his expression, as if he really did as he said, and he did not take Sawara Kiri seriously at all.

The confidence that comes with this kind of power can probably only be understood by those who are also "Jade Ninjas", right?

After all, his life was completely changed by this tiny fragment, wasn't it?
Langya Avalanche didn't get angry after being scolded, he just smiled ingratiatingly.

When He Yi Bing Li, who was standing next to him, saw this scene, she sneered and glanced at Lang Ya Xue Beng, then said:

"Boss, what should we do now?" "No problem."

Feng Hua Nu Tao said calmly, "Since my brother considers himself to be kind and righteous, I will make good use of this. No matter what, I must find that thing within the time limit."

"Yes!"

Langya Xuebeng and Heyi Bingli responded at the same time.

After they all dispersed, Fenghua Nutao took out a small compass-like device from his pocket and pressed it on the edge.

Soon, a short figure wearing a mask and wrapped in a black robe with purple melon pattern appeared in the center of the compass.

Feng Hua Nu Tao's expression changed, and he said respectfully, "Sir Shen, we have found the trace of my brother. It only takes a few more days for us to retrieve the treasure."

The voice on the other end was a little hoarse, with a hint of nonchalance: "Fenghua Nutao, let me see, um, the Rainbow Wall of the Snow Country? Remember not to exceed the time limit."

"Yes!"

Feng Hua Nu Tao spoke in a calm voice, and then continued, "It's just that I'm in a bit of trouble here, and I want to ask for intelligence assistance from the union."

"Just ask."

The short figure opposite was still busy writing something, and said casually.

Fenghua Nutao hurriedly asked: "Excuse me, what is Sawara Kiri's weakness? I want to launch a targeted attack on him."

"."

The voice on the other end was silent for a few seconds.

Then, he asked back:
"Sawara Kiri's weakness?!"

"Yes, the one who came to protect my brother from Konoha this time was none other than Sawara Kiri and a top-ranked jonin from Konoha."

I really want to know!

The figure opposite him looked at him in confusion. Didn't it already state in the union regulations that 'if you encounter Sawara Kiri, you must abandon the mission on the spot'?
Where did the people below recruit such ignorant idiots?

Are you looking for death?

"roll!"

Without saying a word, the other party turned off the video.

Feng Hua Nu Tao was stunned and stared blankly at the compass in his hand, silent for a long time.

Lord God seems to be in a bad mood today?

At the same time, there was a hint of anger in my heart.

It has been a long time since he obtained the fragment of the Four Souls Jade and became a Jade Ninja a year ago. The arrogance of being the son of the Daimyo of the Snow Country made him frown.

However, under the shock of the catastrophic power he had witnessed in the video before, he gradually suppressed the desire to resist.

However, the attitude displayed by the other party made him inexplicably fearful.

"Could it be that Sawara Kiri has a power comparable to that adult's?"

Fenghua Nutao thought so in his heart and couldn't help but shook his head with amusement.

how is this possible.

Konoha is also one of the five major nations. If the difference in strength between it and Iwagakure and Kumogakure was really that big, the last Ninja World War would have been impossible.

As for the strength of other ninja villages, and even the strength of Konoha ninjas, he had also seen it.

That's all.

It is simply not comparable to myself as a 'Jade Ninja'.

"If that's the case, then there can only be one result."

"In the eyes of 'that lord', does it annoy him that I, as a 'Jade Ninja', ask such a stupid question?"

"Ah."

"I see."

Fenghua Nutao thought to himself and suddenly felt confident.

In this case, he has nothing to be afraid of.

Sahara Kiri?

Let me show you what I have to say.

That terrifying power that belongs only to gods.

Under the guidance of Kakashi, the group continued to quickly shuttle through the boreal forest along the path of the Snow Country. After leaving the city, they immediately erased all traces, changed direction several times, and finally arrived at Hakusan City located in the east of the Snow Country.

After these days of bumpy ride, Fenghua Zaoxue's bodies could no longer bear it.

Considering that they were both ordinary people, Kakashi stopped in the city to rest for a while.

"Thank you for your hard work, Master Kakashi."

Even though she had been running around these days and even her lips were a little pale, Feng Hua Zaoxue still forced herself to stay together and politely thanked several people.

"It's okay, please take a rest first."

"Next we need to collect some clues about the other side through the intelligence network."

"If everything goes well with the plan, we'll be able to send you back to the capital soon."

Hatake Kakashi was comforting him from the side.

They have not observed any traces of enemy tracking in the past few days. It seems that the problem does lie with those guards. The safety factor is now much higher.

However, how to lure out the enemy and defeat them next is another difficult problem.

Just as he was thinking about it.

Uchiha Obito beside him suddenly leaned out of the window and shouted, "Kakashi, look at the sky!"

Kakashi was startled when he heard this and immediately walked over quickly.

Then, one could see birds with a steely color circling in the air and dropping large pieces of paper like snowflakes.

People walking on the street looked up.

next moment.

"Boom, boom, boom——"

Continuous explosions rang in my ears.

Kakashi suddenly widened his eyes and looked towards the streets in the city center in the distance.

At this time, the place was already covered by a large area of ​​fire, dust and smoke from the explosion continued to rise, and the splashing debris hit the glass with a popping sound, and the earth seemed to be shaking.

At the same time, Mei Terumi leaned forward and caught the pages in mid-air, her brows slightly furrowed.

"What happened?"

Fenghua Zaoxue suddenly stood up and also looked out the window.

Mei Terumi did not answer immediately, but handed the piece of paper in her hand to Kakashi.

Kakashi's brows also frowned.

The content on the leaflet was also very simple, requiring Fenghua Zaoxue to show up immediately and hand over the great secret treasure, otherwise this kind of random air strikes would continue.

Feng Hua Zaoxue just took a look and her face turned dark.

"My Lord Daimyo, please don't be impulsive."

Kakashi said this, but his expression was obviously not very calm.

This was his first time commanding a mission and he encountered this situation. He was completely confused and had no idea how to deal with it.

Mei Terumi questioned more directly, "Master Daimyo, may I ask if the secret treasure passed down in your family is really just an environmental transformation machine?"

"I"

Fenghua Zaoxue was also a little confused.

What on earth does Nu Tao want to do?
He has already run away. If he wants the throne, who can stop him?

What is he going to do now?
Just when the little guys were in a mess.

Sawara Kiri suddenly spoke up beside him:
"Don't panic."

"Have you decided on your mission objectives now?"

Kakashi and the others were startled when they heard this, and turned to look at him in confusion, with some unspoken hope at the same time - they hoped that as teachers, they could give an answer at this moment.

Maybe it was because this mission involved civilians, but his expression was obviously more serious than usual. He looked at them and asked:

“The scope of what’s on the task list is often like that, there’s never a broad scope.”

"But, do we have to strictly follow the mission requirements and protect the daimyo during this dangerous fifteen-day period? Or do we have to continue the action, even at the risk of mission failure, and go forward to kill the enemy?"

"Kakashi."

"This is the most important choice a ninja will face during a mission."

"If it was Sakumo-sama, what do you think he would decide?"
