Water bears at the beginning, wet bone forest eating old people

Chapter 163: One step at a time, reaching the highest point

How can you fight against a master of taijutsu without using taijutsu? This is what Kakashi thought.

Although his physical skills are a bit... emmm, not so presentable?

"Ow—"

Teacher Chen roared like a dragon and flew up into the sky, covering his butt.

Looking at Chen Baojun disappearing in the air, Kakashi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

As expected of a master of physical skills, even though the Thousand Years Kill move just now was a sneak attack, it didn't succeed. The touch sent back by the shadow clone told him that his fingers didn't penetrate Teacher Chen's butt crack...

Then this move of soaring into the sky is enough to show Teacher Chen’s strength. He doesn’t rely on physical skills, but only on physical strength. He can fly by stomping his feet?

Although it's a bit exaggerated, Teacher Chen is indeed a master of physical skills.

Chen Baojun probably didn't expect that Kakashi was so unsportsmanlike. He had already found his true form and kicked him in the face, but he still didn't stop and insisted on stabbing him!

This kid is a bit dirty, I can’t play with him!

Chen Baojun took advantage of Kakashi's Thousand Years of Killing skills, pretended to be stabbed in the buttocks, and ran away.

Kakashi turned to look at Kawazo.

"Chuan Zang, do you know the strength of Teacher Chen?"

"Huh? Me? I don't understand, I don't know, I'm not clear, I don't understand, it's not me!"

"What a mess..."

Kakashi rolled his eyes. From Chuan Zang's expression, which looked like "If you ask me again, I might tell you," he knew that Chuan Zang must know.

But this is nothing surprising. He discovered a long time ago that Kawanzo seemed to know a lot of things. This guy who always hangs out with him would have some unique understanding of the situation in the ninja world from time to time.

Having Konoha's living fossil, Mr. Kozo, as my backer... I feel really relieved.

"How's it going! Kakashi, isn't Mr. Chen very strong? He deserves the title of Konoha's strongest taijutsu ninja!"

Kai suddenly jumped to the side of the two of them and gave them a thumbs up. If you didn't know, you would think that the strongest physical ninja was talking about himself.

"It's indeed very strong, but if you only know taijutsu, you'll have a lot of limitations."

Kakashi looked at Gai and said, his words all reflected the watermelon-headed guy in front of him.

"Even so, I won't give up. I will use my physical skills to become the strongest man! I will reach the top step by step!"

Kai's blood was aroused again, as if nothing could frustrate and stop this half-grown man from moving forward.

I have to say, being stubborn isn't a bad thing...

"Your last name is Zhao~"

Kawazo waved his hand and pulled Kakashi away. Although being stubborn is not a bad thing, that is only for stubborn people.

"Zhao? What do you mean? Hey Chuan Zang! Don't go. Why Zhao?"

......

"Mr. Gu Zang." X2

It seemed that due to the increasingly frequent small movements of various parties in the ninja world, the Hokage Building became visibly busy. Even the two consultants, Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu, had to accompany Hiruzen to stay in the Hokage's office to work.

"Well, Yan, Xiaochun, I haven't seen you for a long time. You haven't changed much. Yan is still so calm, and Xiaochun is more beautiful and intellectual than in previous years."

"Mr. Gu Zang, thank you for your compliment~"

Utane Koharu gently moved her earrings and responded with a smile.

Which girl doesn't like to be praised? Even though Utane Koharu is over 40 years old, with silver hair streaking through her hair and a few wrinkles on her face due to the ravages of time, she is still a child in the eyes of seniors like Gu Zang.

Mizuto Menyan was much more steady and just nodded respectfully to Gu Zang.

"Mr. Gu Zang, why are you here?"

At this time, Hiruzen stood up and walked around from behind the Hokage's desk to the front, brought Gu Zang over and placed it on the table.

The Hokage's arrogance is useless in front of Gu Zang except for slapping himself in the face.

"Alas... Even if Yan and Xiaochun are here, I still have to make things clear. Hiruzen, you have failed miserably as Hokage."

Hiruzen's body stiffened and he glanced sideways towards the door. Well, Danzo didn't come, that was good.

"This... Mr. Gu Zang's words, where do I even begin to explain..."

"Huruzen, you indulge Danzo too much."

call......

Hiruzen finally breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be Danzo. Then everything would be fine... What the hell!

What did Danzo do again that I don't know about?!

"The transfer of Anbu ninjas must be approved by the Hokage. This is the rule set by Tobirama. As the Hokage's direct subordinates, the Anbu are both the spearhead and the shield. Hiruzen, where are your Anbu?"

"If the sword doesn't obey, it will stab the wrong person. If the shield doesn't obey, it won't be able to block the sword. Hiruzen, I ask you again, where are your Anbu?"

Hiruzen was stunned.

"Anbu... Elephant!"

Swah——

Xiang appeared in response. As the standing intelligence ANBU, Xiang was the only ANBU ninja who always followed Hiruzen besides Hiruzen's eldest son.

"Did you hear Mr. Kozo's question about what my Anbu are doing?"

"Replying to Hokage-sama, everyone is busy with their respective tasks."

Xiang replied as follows.

Hiruzen's face turned green after this answer, and even Mitomon En and Utane Koharu beside him noticed something amiss.

Although the Anbu has many tasks, and they are all highly confidential, it does not prevent the two elders from knowing some things. They themselves are able to interfere with the Anbu to a certain extent.

In addition to the regular ninjas, the Anbu also has a part of support forces that must be hidden in various places at all times. Their identities and locations are only known to Hiruzen, the Hokage, and the Anbu captain and intelligence chief. This part of the force will not go out on missions, but will remain silent until Hiruzen activates them or dies with this secret.

In addition, there are Anbu ninjas who are responsible for intelligence support and task handover. Under the various assignments, at least more than half of the Anbu ninjas do not have any tasks and cannot accept tasks under normal circumstances.

But now, the Anbu were busy with their missions?

The office fell silent for a moment, and Xiang suddenly reacted.

That's not right. Why are they all on missions? He hadn't noticed this before, but now that he thinks about it, isn't it possible that the Anbu's missions and handovers were tampered with?

"This... Hokage-sama, Danzo-sama also has some authority over the dispatch of Anbu ninjas... Root training missions and intelligence reviews will draw Anbu ninjas."

It couldn't be his responsibility as a ninja in the intelligence department to pass the buck, right? He couldn't bear it!

Hiruzen already knew what was going on, needless to say.

When the Root was established, its authority was clearly stated. It was responsible for the training and production of Anbu ninjas. In name, the Root was a novice village for Anbu ninjas.

But that's only in name!

In fact, the Root is basically independent of the Anbu. This is the back door that Hiruzen opened for Danzo. Unexpectedly, Danzo was not satisfied with the independent Root, and reached back to the Anbu!

"Huruzen, the ninja world is becoming increasingly unstable. If something irreversible were to happen, our deaths would be minor. But if something serious were to happen, we would both be sinners of Konoha. When we go down to face Hashirama and Tobirama...how would we be able to face them?"

Kozo said calmly as he lazily slumped over the Hokage's desk.

Hiruzen couldn't calm down.

Danzo! ! !

You better not make me infamous forever!
