Chapter 188 An Old Acquaintance

Chapter 188 An old acquaintance

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

"Another secret?"

Mizuki Ken looked haggard, apparently the rumors in the village had tortured him a lot.

He is not yet thirty years old, and he has become a special Jonin at this age. Being able to be the executor of this major task together with "Konoha White Fang" Hatake Sakumo shows his talent and strength.

It is precisely because he is good at "information acquisition" that he has become a special ninja.

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

Are you a burden?

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

Or Hatake Sakumo's indecision?

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

Is it possible for him to successfully complete the task and avoid losses?

Wouldn't there be gossip and rumors, so that I can't get out of the shadows until now? ?

If Hatake Sakumo wasn't so indecisive and gave up decisively, wouldn't the mission fail?

If you give up on yourself, is the mission still a failure?

Will the rumors in the village still be like this?

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

And a special jonin who drags his feet back, won't be remembered by anyone?

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

Mizuki Ken, whose mind had been in a state of confusion, instinctively asked back when he heard what Satoru said.

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

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

"After Sakumo Hatake saved you..."

Satoru explained the doubtful points in the mission record to Mizuki Ken one by one, and the more he listened to him, the more he listened, the more ugly his face became.

Putting aside distracting thoughts, he immediately discovered something was wrong.

"Damn it! Why didn't I notice anything wrong at the time!"

"Lord Shuo Mao..."

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

Enlightenment's expression softened behind the mask, this guy doesn't seem to have such a sordid personality.

Otherwise he would have to resort to other means.

"But the pride of 'Konoha Hakuga' made Hatake Sakumo to only carry the failure on his own, without blaming other things. This has caused the current situation——

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

Enlightenment's words made Mizuki Ken raise his head, his eyes were filled with the anger of being deceived, but he was still calm:

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

"This matter has nothing to do with the higher-ups. The higher-ups must explain the inquiry letter from the Fire Nation daimyo. That's all I'm going to say."

"...Understood, I'm going to find Master Shuo Mao."

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

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

"..."

Enlightenment turned his head, and the cat-face mask looked at the body of Wu who was stiff at the door and dared not move after putting a word on it.

"...'O'! Why would you..."

"Come on, 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', he walked in the door slowly.

"Are you... root?"

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

"What are you here for?"

Satoru raised his legs as if he was chatting with colleagues, and looked at Wu and Wei who were already wiping away their sweat with a relaxed tone.

It's such a coincidence, old acquaintance.

Ten thousand grass and mud horses rolled past in Wuxin, and if he said the person he least wanted to meet, 'Ao' definitely ranked first!

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

This guy could instantly kill himself when he was ten years old!

Now, God knows how strong he is!

"You...why are you here?"

"I want you to answer my question."

Wu's calm voice made Wu and Weiqi shudder.

Especially Wu, if Wu finds out about another thing he did, I'm afraid he will die on the spot.

No one could save him.

"We... have no comment!"

"Papa..."

Wu applauded:

"Stiff, I haven't seen you for a few years, you are still so loyal to the old man Danzo——

Well, for the sake of acquaintances, you can't say it, let me say it for you. "

Under Wu Hewei's frightened eyes, Wu slowly said:

"Old man Danzo wants you to confuse this Mizuki Ken, and use illusion to affect his mind when he is in a state of confusion.

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

Then, the public opinion that is directly detonated will cause Hatake Sakumo's reputation as "Konoha White Fang" to fall from the clouds, and even have more serious consequences..."

A flash of cold light flashed across Wu Hewei's eyes, which made Wu and Wei feel that their souls were almost frozen, and Wu's voice also cooled down:

"In this way, after the three generations of Hokage, Hatake Sakumo, who is most likely to compete for the position of Hokage, will lose the popularity of the people and have no chance!"

"!!!"

Wuhe is not like falling into an ice cave, his whole body is stiff——

This is completely no different from their purpose of coming here!

Especially Shinobu Mizuki Ken was already stunned.

"How... how! How could I... How could I slander and accuse my savior!"

Mizuki Ken's face was red, but after a while, he slumped on the chair with his head in his arms.

"No... Sir 'Ao', if it's really what you said, I... I might really fall into the 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% of the time.

"If that's the case, I will absolutely have no face to continue living in this world!"

"So, here I come."

Enlightenment nodded, this guy is okay, he can confess his psychological flaws, which shows that he can still tell things clearly.

In the original timeline, this guy probably either died or went crazy.

"Then, you two, don't leave yet, wait for Mizuki's special Jonin's public statement to be issued, and then go back to see Danzo."

"Oh, Danzo may kill you 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 the matter with him last time. Don't think I don't know."

Focusing on Wu who was shaking even more, Wu didn't think too much:

"Tell him that if he wants to compete with Hokage, he must rely on his own ability. Besides, the third generation of Hokage is still in his prime, so he should consider his own lifespan first."

"Also, during the lockdown period, remember to exercise more, your skills will decline, but you won't be able to compete with Hokage!"
