Chapter 188 An old acquaintance

   "I'm here this time to tell you about Hatake Sakumo, the higher-ups don't plan to pursue it, and this mission has other secrets, so you don't have to worry about the failure of the mission."

   "Is there another secret?"

  Shui Mujian looked haggard, obviously the rumors of the village had tortured him a lot.

   He is not yet 30 years old. At this age, he has become a special Jōnin, and being able to become the executor of this important task together with "Konoha White Fang" Hatake Sakumo shows his talent and strength.

   It is precisely because he is good at "intelligence acquisition" that he becomes a special jounin.

   He had the determination to sacrifice everything for the mission, but at the moment when he was rescued by Hatake Sakumo and the mission failed, he was lost.

   Are you a burden?

   Hatake Sakumo failed the mission in order to save himself, was it because of his weakness?

   Or the indecision of Hatake Sakumo?

   If he died simply, wouldn't Hatake Sakumo not have to make a choice?

   Can he successfully complete the task and avoid losses?

   Will there be no gossip, so that I can't get out of the shadows until now? ?

   If Hatake Sakumo was not so indecisive and gave himself up decisively, wouldn’t the mission not fail?

   If you give up on yourself, will the mission still fail?

   Will the rumors of the village still be like this?

   If the mission is successful, will Hatake Sakumo be called a hero for turning the tide?

   And he is a special Joinin who is dragging his legs, won't he be remembered by anyone?

   I shouldn't be able to hear it anyway... right?

  Mizuki Ken, whose brain has been in a state of confusion, instinctively asked a question when he heard Satoru's words.

   After a while, his seemingly dull eyes regained a ray of light:

   "You said, there is another secret? What the **** is going on?!"

   "After Hatake Sakumo rescued you..."

  Satoru explained the doubtful points in the mission record to Ken Mizuki one by one, and the more he listened to him, who became a special johnin with information acquisition, the more ugly his face became.

   Putting aside the distracting thoughts, he immediately noticed something was wrong.

   "Damn it! Why didn't I realize it was wrong at the time!"

   "Lord Sakumo he..."

   "He's fine for the time being. Although he's quite haggard, he's not going to do anything about it. After all, he did what he thought was right."

   After realizing the mask, his expression softened a little. This guy doesn't seem to have such a 25-year-old character.

   Otherwise he would have to resort to other means.

   "But the pride of 'Konoha Shirogane' made Hatake Sakumo only carry the failure himself, and not blame other things, which has led to the current situation——

   I hope you can help him and yourself, so that this boring rumor will end soon. "

  Satoru's words made Mizuki Jian raise his head, his eyes were full of deceived anger, but he was still calm:

   "I'm afraid it's not easy behind this matter, Anbu personally came forward, that is to say, high-level..."

   "This matter has nothing to do with the high-level, the inquiry letter from the Fire Nation's daimyo, the high-level must explain something, I only say so much."

   "...Understood, I'll go to Sakumo-sama."

   Just as Mizuki got up, the door was opened from the outside:

   "Sorry, you can't go anywhere now."

  “…”

   Wu turned his head, the cat-face mask looked at the doorway, his body stiffened, and after a sentence, he didn't dare to move the body of 'Wu'.

   "...'O'! Why did you..."

   "Come in, come in, and the one behind you, come in and sit down."

   Wu waved his hand, and Wei, who was about to leave silently behind Wu, froze, so he had to bite the bullet and turn back, and together with Wu, dawdled into the door.

   "You are... Roots?"

  Mizuki Ken, who is good at information acquisition, obviously knows about Gen's deeds. At this time, Anbu and Gen have found him one after the other...

   "What are you doing here?"

  Satoru raised his legs as if his colleagues were chatting, and looked at Wu and Wei who were already wiping sweat in a relaxed tone.

   is such a coincidence, old acquaintance.

  10,000 grass and mud horses rolled by in his heart at noon. As for the person he least wanted to meet, ‘Ao’ was definitely number one!

  Others don't know Ao's identity, doesn't he know?

   This guy can kill himself in seconds when he is ten years old!

  Now, God knows how strong he is!

   "You...why are you here?"

   "I asked you to answer my question."

  Satoru's calm voice made Wu and Weiqi shudder.

   Especially in Wu, if another thing he did was discovered by Gou, I'm afraid he would die on the spot.

   No one could save him.

   "We... have no comment!"

   "Clap clap clap..."

   Wu applauded:

   "Hard gas, haven't seen you for a few years, you are still so loyal to the old Danzo-

   For the sake of acquaintances, what you can't say, I'll say it for you. "

   In Wuhe's unfrightened eyes, Satoru slowly opened his mouth:

   "Old Danzo wants you to confuse this Mizuki Jian, and use illusion to affect his mind while he is in a state of chaos.

   After the rumors were fermenting for a few days, when the high-level officials even had to take repressive measures under pressure, Mizuki Ken came forward and publicly slandered Hatake Sakumo, who accused him of failing the mission to save him.

   Then, the directly detonated public opinion will make Hatake Sakumo's reputation of "Konoha White Fang" fall from the clouds, and even more serious consequences..."

   A cold light flashed through his eyes that made Wu Hewei feel that his soul was almost frozen, and Wu's voice also cooled down:

   "In this way, after the three generations of Hokage, Sakumo Hatake, who is most likely to compete for the position of Hokage, has lost popular support and will have no chance!"

  “!!!”

  Noon and Weiru fell into the ice cave, stiff all over——

   This is completely the same as their purpose!

   And especially Kamunin Mizuki Ken, he was already stunned.

   "How...how could it be! How can I...how can I slander the savior who blamed me!"

   Mizuki Jian's face was red, but after a while, he collapsed on the chair holding his head.

   "No... Lord 'O', if it's really what you said, I... I really have the possibility of falling into an illusion!"

   "When you came, I had been in a trance for a few days..."

   In this state, if the opponent uses illusion, he will be hit almost 100%.

   "If that's the case, I'm absolutely shameless to continue living in the world!"

   "So, here I am."

   Satoru nodded, this guy is okay, he can confess his psychological flaws, it can be seen that he can still distinguish things clearly.

  In the original timeline, this guy was probably either dead or crazy.

   "Then, the two of you, don't leave yet, wait until the public statement of Shuimu's special Jounin is sent out, then you can go back to see Danzo."

   "Oh, Danzo may kill you guys directly... but it doesn't matter, you can report that I did it."

   "By the way, warn him again, Hatake Sakumo is not only my boss, but also my swordsmanship teacher. I haven't settled with him last time, so don't think I don't know."

   stared at Wu, who was shaking even more, but Satoru didn't think too much:

   "Tell him that if you want to compete with Hokage, you can rely on your ability. Besides, the three generations of Hokage are still in their prime, so he should consider his lifespan first."

   "Also, during the lockdown period, remember to exercise more, your skills have declined, but you can't compete with Hokage!"
