Konoha’s Thief Hand

In a secluded alley, Anbu Ninja, a bird face mask wearing a trench coat, came out and came behind Xia Shu.

The Anbu ninja in the bird face mask didn't speak, maybe he didn't know what to say, the original tracking was directly pierced by the opponent, he was still a bit at a loss at the moment, not knowing where he revealed the flaw.

"Do I need to cooperate with the investigation?" Xia Shu raised his hands to indicate his harmlessness without looking back.

The Anbu ninja in the bird face mask remained silent.

Xia Shu suddenly understood, and smiled: "It doesn't seem that I have any problems. I will report to you, right?"

"Yeah." The Anbu ninja in the bird face mask is a novice. After hearing this suggestion, he pondered for a while and agreed.

Following the Anbu ninja with the bird face mask, Xia Shu came to a residential house. This is not an entrance of Anbu's base. Xia Shu is just a little suspicious. In fact, Anbu has no evidence, so this is just a vacant residential house. It is used as an interrogation at this moment. room.

The Anbu ninja in the bird face mask avoided Xia Shu, used Anbu's special means to send a message, and then fell into silence.

It didn't take long before the door of the residential house was knocked. The usual knock on the door seemed to hide Anbu's password.

After confirming that it was correct, the Anbu ninja in the bird face mask opened the door, and three figures rushed in one after another.

"It's you?" Before Xia Shu could speak, one of the three new Anbu ninjas suddenly said.

"Oh? You know me?" Xia Shu looked at each other curiously, but had no impression.

The Anbu ninja with the cat face mask did not answer, and whispered a few words to the Anbu ninja beside him, and then stepped forward.

"Name." The Anbu ninja with the cat's face said coldly.

Another Anbu ninja said something to the Anbu ninja in the bird face mask. The latter nodded and left, obviously there was still something to do.

Xia Shu was not sure whether the other party would go back to perform the task or report to Anbu, which made him frown.

If he doesn't want to avoid conflict between Anbu and the root, he doesn't need to call the Anbu ninja in the bird face mask, and if Anbu checks the identity of his root ninja later, he will definitely find it. He doesn't want to cause trouble.

"Name!" The Anbu ninja in the cat-face mask repeated coldly, knocking on the table.

"Matsuzaki Natsuki." Natsuki glanced at the other person, still can't remember when he saw him, but if he recalled the contact with Anbu, it was only the time when Rain Shinobi changed.

"level."

"Special Jōnin."

"Belonging."

"root."

The previous answer is already very surprising. After all, Xia Shu is only thirteen years old, but he is already a special Jōnin, but the atmosphere in the house is stagnant, which is obviously the last answer.

The "root" of Konoha is a training camp that Anbu ninjas will experience, but for Anbu ninjas who can get in touch with more secrets, they can know more information.

So when they heard this answer, the three Anbu ninjas became more serious.

"What is the purpose of approaching Uzumaki Kushina?" Anbu ninja in the cat face mask then asked.

"Practicing sealing technique." Xia Shu replied.

No matter what Anbu Ninja did with the bird face mask, he can only answer truthfully at this moment.

Just as he was thinking about it, the Anbu ninja in the bird face mask went and returned, and brought back orders.

Seeing the other party and the Anbu ninja whispering, Xia Shu narrowed his eyes and wondered how to deal with various situations.

After whispering, the three Anbu ninjas left directly, and the Anbu ninja in the bird face mask came over and said, "Matsuzaki Jōnin, Master Hokage wants to see you."

Xia Shu raised his eyebrows in surprise, but he didn't expect such a development, but when he thought about it, he figured it out clearly.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen has the title of "ninoh", he is a sincere and nostalgic person. To his close friend Shimura Danzō, he has never regarded it as a threat, but a helper to protect the big tree Konoha.

The relationship between the two parties has not yet reached the point that it will be in the future, so no matter whether Natsuki's purpose of approaching Uzumaki Kushina is simple or not, whether there are other purposes besides consulting the seal technique, Sarutobi Hiruzen is unwilling to conflict with the roots or Shimura Danzō.

As for Third Generation asking him, it may be because of Marusoshi Kosuke.

Arriving at the Hokage building, entering the Hokage office, the Anbu ninja in the bird face mask stepped back and closed the door with his hand.

"Master Hokage." Xia Shu respectfully said.

"Wait a minute." Sarutobi Hiruzen buried his head in the pile of files and waved his hand.

Xia Shu waited quietly, her eyes glanced up in boredom. The Hokage office is relatively spacious and there are not many furnishings. There are only three portraits of Hokage on the walls. Now there are only three. After a few years, Namikaze Minato's portrait will also be available. Hang it up, then Tsunade, um, maybe it is.

Xia Shu raised his hand and waved away as the green smoke hovered behind the desk, and the smoke of tobacco burning floated.

Regardless of his past or present life, he did not smoke, and naturally he couldn't adapt to this taste.

About a quarter of an hour later, Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up and stretched comfortably.

"Master Hokage." Xia Shu hurriedly saluted.

"It's Matsuzaki?" Sarutobi Hiruzen knocked on the pipe, knocking the embers of the pipe into the trash can, then opened the drawer to take out the tobacco, filled the pipe and smiled and said: "Furusuke also showed off to me. His apprentice said he was a young man with a rare talent in swordsmanship, and now it seems that it is indeed the case."

He has a gentle temperament, which is different from the kindness of Maru Xing Kosuke, with a kind of praise and trust, and with a convincing charm.

Although Natsuki felt that his master Marusoshi Kosuke was not the one to show off to Sarutobi Hiruzen, he could not refute this kind of closeness, especially since the words came out of Hokage's mouth.

"It's all well taught by the master." Xia Shu humbly said.

"Haha! Too modest makes you seem insincere." Sarutobi Hiruzen joked with a smile.

Xia Shu laughed and didn't say much.

"How about Danzo's roots? Are you still used to it?" Sarutobi Hiruzen murmured again and asked casually.

"It's okay." Xia Shu seemed to be unable to hear the hidden meaning, and said: "Although it is tiring and dangerous to go out to perform tasks, but as long as you return to Konoha, you can completely relax. After a long time, you will get used to it."

"That's good." Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled with satisfaction: "Originally, I promised Marusoshi Kosuke that I will transfer you to Anbu after you finish training, but because of the shortage of roots, I left you there. Now it seems that this is not a bad thing."

"As a Konoha Shinobi, no matter where you are, it is to protect the village." Natsuki said with a serious expression: "My parents sacrificed for this, and I will inherit their mission!"
