65 Mission Failed

After returning to the small town, Uchiha Tunan casually ate something in the breakfast shop and went back to the hotel to catch up on sleep.

In the next few days, the small town was calm and peaceful.

Uchiha Tunan stayed in the hotel all the time, constantly using the white pigeon to check if anyone was coming from the border.

Time passed day by day.

The more Uchiha Tunan waited, the more he felt that something was wrong.

Based on Sakumo's strength, he should be back soon.

Could it be that Sakumo and the others were in the town where the two Root Ninjas were stationed?

As a result, there was no one there, so no one released a signal flare to inform him?

There was such a possibility.

However, Uchiha Tunan did not intend to go and investigate.

What if he really bumped into her?

Was he going to say that he had a telepathy and guessed that Jounin, who was stationed in that small town, was missing?

On the late night of the tenth day, a red stream of light cut through the sky and flew towards the town.

Uchiha Tunan quickly got up and went to the window to check.

He saw the red stream of light fly above the town and explode like fireworks.

"So it's a signal bullet for the principle of tracking."

Uchiha Tunan muttered to himself.

Then he jumped out of the window and ran in the direction of the red light.

In the past, God Valley Kazuki and Yoshida Tailang wanted to seize the Sharingan.

He deliberately arranged for Uchiha Tunan to stay in the small town at the edge.

This place was the furthest away from where the signal was sent.

Uchiha Tunan ran for a full five hours. It was already dawn when he finally arrived at the place where the signal was fired.

This place was also a small town in defense.

He saw Kakashi standing at the intersection of the town.

Seeing Uchiha Tunan arrive, Kakashi waved at him.

Uchiha Tunan ran to Kakashi and pretended to be panting. He asked, "How is the mission?"

"It failed." Kakashi shrugged indifferently.

Uchiha Tunan frowned,

"What's going on? Lord White Fang was dispatched, how could he fail?"

Kakashi looked behind him, then lowered his voice,

"That guy was poisoned by Hidden Sand Village. In order to save him, my father used a hostage to exchange for the antidote."

Uchiha Tunan suddenly realized,

I see ---

That's right.

After all, the man was the leader of Root, and he was more important to Konoha than the hostage.

Anyway, the hostage was handed over to Hidden Sand Village, and Hidden Sand Village would safely send the hostage to the employer.

Konoha only lost a reward, so it was not a big problem.

"That guy still has a conscience. He said that he would give us the reward for the mission when he returns to the village."

After saying that, Kakashi pointed to a tea shop in the small town behind him.

"Minato Sensei is here. Go meet them. I still need to wait for the other two."

Uchiha Tunan smiled and said,

"It's been hard on you. Why don't you rest for a bit? Your father failed the mission, so you can go comfort him."

Uchiha Tunan didn't want to meet the Root Captain, lest he reveal himself when talking about the other two.

Kakashi rolled his dead fish eyes and said, "There's nothing to comfort. It's just an S -level mission."

Uchiha Tunan pushed Kakashi and said, "Go ahead. Anyway, you and I are the same."

Kakashi couldn't persuade Uchiha Tunan, so he could only nod and say, "Alright."

Time passed slowly. Until noon, the two people at Root had not arrived.

Sakumo, The Root Captain, Minato, and Kakashi all came to the intersection of the town.

Sakumo said with a serious face: "They haven't come yet. They may have met the enemy. We will send two teams to meet them."

However, this idea was rejected by The Root Captain without hesitation.

"No need. They haven't come yet, and they haven't used any signal bombs to ask for help. They should be dead."

"Let's go take a look. What if they are still alive?" Minato scratched his head and said.

The Root Captain, Aburame Shihei expressionlessly said,

"This kind of mission that was explained in advance, whether it was late or if they encountered danger and they did not release a signal flare."

"It was already a very serious crime."

"Even if they did not die, they had to be executed when they went back."

"This was the rule of Root."

When Sakumo heard this, he sighed and nodded: "Then we won't wait. Let's go back to the village."

....

In the Hokage building, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the four people in front of him, smoking a cigarette in frustration.

"White Fang, you did the right thing. After all, the Aburame Shihei is your companion and also Root Captain."

Whether it is for you or for the village, it is much more important than an S -level mission.

You should go back and rest for a while. After all, the mission process is quite hard.

After everyone left, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the large reward on the mission list and could not help but sigh.

If he had known earlier, he should have let White Fang go to the mission alone.

At the same time, in the base camp of Root.

Danzo looked at the Aburame Shihei who was kneeling on one knee with a gloomy face and said coldly,

"Do you know how much effort I put into obtaining this mission opportunity?"

"But what about your results?"

"The hostage was handed over to Hidden Sand Village because of you."

"Failed to retrieve my Sharingan."

"Kazuki and Taro are also missing."

"Lord Danzo, this mission is indeed my fault."

As for Kazuki and Taro, I suspect that they were found out.

"It is probably because of Minato."

Danzo's eyes flashed with coldness:

"You mean to say that the two trash were killed by Minato?"

The Aburame Shihei did not come to a conclusion with certainty. Instead, she spoke of another possibility.

"It could also be that little brat Uchiha."

Danzo's eyes narrowed as he nodded, "We can't rule out this possibility."

"As long as an Uchiha have awakened three magatama, he would basically have the strength of an elite Jounin."

"Although this little brat was still young, he was still in the golden stage of development."

"Last time, he was able to kill Ryosuke with a trap. This time, he might really have the ability to defeat the two Jounin alone."

"However, this possibility was a little too small."

"After all, before Kazuki and Taro set off, I already instructed them to pay attention to the little brat's illusion."

After saying that, Danzo looked at Shihei that looked like a robot and gave up on punishing him. He sighed and said,

"You can leave first. We can talk about this later."

"Yes."

After Shihei left, Danzo leaned back in his seat and muttered to himself,

"Now, Orochimaru's experiment has completely stopped."

"We have to find a way to get a new Sharingan."

"However, no one from Uchiha's clan, who had three magatama, left the village."

"Hmph, hateful evil clan... "

The people who had returned to the village thought that they would return to their usual calm.

However, as soon as the news came from the Land of Sichuan, the entire Konoha was thrown into turmoil.

On the same day, Hiruzen Sarutobi aggressively came to Root's base camp.

Danzo stood facing Hiruzen Sarutobi and said indifferently, "Hiruzen, why are you so free to come to my place?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi threw the scroll at Danzo's feet and said with a serious face,

"Take a look at this information yourself. Root needs to give the village an explanation."

Danzo frowned and opened the scroll.

Immediately, Danzo's pupils shrank.

"How... how could this be?"
