Outside the gate of Konoha, the figure of a young man under the setting sun looked a little lonely.
Several ninjas of Konoha who were responsible for guarding the gate of the village were secretly looking at the figure in front of them with some strange eyes.
For the rumors about Kirito that spread in the Shinobi World, they know some of them, and although the higher-ups of Konoha strictly sealed the news, the people below still learned some things from various channels.
This young man named Kirito, although he is from Konoha, he doesn't seem to admit that he is a member of Konoha, and from time to time, he has done some things that are contrary to the interests of Konoha.
For ordinary ninjas of Konoha, this is equivalent to betraying the village, but for traitors, Konoha has never let them go easily.
However, for Kirito, Konoha's attitude has always been vague, and the sentence of betrayal has never been officially recognized.
However, as a low-level ninja of the village, the guards don't have any hatred for Kirito. For the vast majority of ninjas, he's just an existence to make a living.
The higher-ups issued an order that for Kirito in front of them, entering and leaving Konoha, they need to report to the higher-ups at all times, but it is strictly forbidden to take actions such as interception and provocation.
"Huh …" Kirito didn't have the slightest interest in how the ninjas of Konoha behind him looked at him. He pursed his lips, which still had a faint fragrance on them, and thought that with his unremitting efforts, he finally made a breakthrough in the Strategy, and he was quite happy.
Speaking of which, yes, Kirito is going to leave again. In fact, there is no need to use the word leave, this is not where he belongs.
It was only because Kirito's cherished loved ones were here just a moment ago.
It's a rare time to visit, and it happens that Hinata isn't here, which is a big pity, but it's a surprise that Tian Tian is here.
In addition, Kirito has no reason to stay in Konoha, and it's natural for him to leave.
In addition, there is a more important reason for leaving Konoha.
Even in the Arsenal System, the long-awaited System Mission had finally arrived. It wasn't the first time a Mission had appeared, so Kirito wasn't too surprised. The only problem was that the Mission difficulty this time was S-Rank!
At the same time, the location of this mission was unexpectedly the Earth Nation.
Kirito didn't know much about the Earth Country. So far, he didn't have any dealings with this village. No, he remembered killing a few Rock Jonins, right?
Kirito wouldn't take such a small matter to heart.
"Whoosh ~"
In his ears, there was a sudden burst of sound waves. Kirito's eyes moved, and a look of "as expected" flashed across his face. Without wasting any time, he made a gesture and entered the mental enchantment of the slide technique.
What came into view was the same dim stone room as before, as well as many familiar figures.
His gaze fell slightly on Payne, who was the leader. His expression was as cold as ever, and it could be seen that he was now in a rare impatient mood.
"What's the matter, Leader?
Why did you summon us in such a hurry? It's still raining over there, and you didn't even give us shelter … "Kisame complained.
"It's an emergency meeting!"
Payne didn't say much nonsense and immediately explained the seriousness of the situation. "Something happened over there."
"Rock Ninja?
That's Konan's side, right? "Sasori said.
Hidan yawned and said softly. "So, what's going on?
What kind of trouble did those Rock Ninjas make?
Do you want me to give them a proper Lord Evil God's baptism? "
"Rock Ninjas … Sure enough, if I didn't guess wrong, it should be the Tsuchikage who made a move, right?" Deidara said thoughtfully. "So, what's the situation?"
Payne looked at Deidara and then said in a deep voice. "Deidara, you used to be a member of the Rock Ninjas, so briefly tell us everything you know about them."
Deidara organized his words and said. "Rock Ninja Village is surrounded by mountains and is known for its strong defense. It's a top secret natural fortress formed by many rocks and mountains. It's easy to defend, and it's difficult for the enemy to attack inside. But at the same time, it's also difficult for them to communicate with the outside world.
Also, the Earth Country is very united, and the Daimyo and the Tsuchikage are equal in status. They respect each other and get along very well.
In terms of politics, Rock Ninja is the most stable. "
Payne frowned and said in a deep voice. "Stable politics, that is to say, Rock Ninja is relatively united, and there are few contradictions …"
Hidan said curiously. "Is it necessary to pay attention to those things?
In the world of Ninja, it's always about who has the biggest fist, isn't it? "
"Shut up, Hidan, if you're not smart, then don't talk so much."
Kakuzu rarely interjected. The previous words stirred up some very unpleasant memories in his mind.
"Hey!"
Kisame Kisame seemed to have a deep understanding of this point. He smiled and said in a mocking tone. "For a country, a village is equivalent to an absolute machine of violence. As a ninja, no matter how strong you are, it's difficult to resist thousands of military units. Those who dare to confront a village head-on don't have a good end."
Speaking of this, Kisame Kisame looked at Kirito with a slightly deeper meaning and smiled. "Just like the monster over there, Kirito Hyuga, although he has the experience of making a mess in Konoha, Kumo, and Mist, and he has the experience of retreating. This kind of seemingly invincible mighty behavior, although he can show off his power in battle, but what's the final result?
In such a large village, tens of thousands of ninjas gathered together can only helplessly run away with their tails between their legs. "
"Oh, it seems that you don't like me, do you?"
Kirito raised his brows and said coldly. "Although I'm not conceited to the point of one against ten thousand, one against a thousand is more than enough."
"What an arrogant guy …" Regarding Kirito's provocation, although Kisame Kisame was unhappy, he didn't dare to say anything.
"Well, quiet down, we're talking business now.
If you can't, I'll let you experience it! "
Payne said coldly, and his tone seemed to be tougher than usual. "The Rock Ninja is gathering troops and frantically searching the stronghold established by the Akatsuki in the Land of Earth. Konan is also besieged.
Now, we have to find a way to escape from the Rock Ninja, at least we have to destroy all the information and rescue Konan. "
