Chapter 228 Takinin Leader: Magic! We actually have to thank the robbers for their accuracy and spee

When the Konoha high-level officials made a decision, the Konoha spies planted in the Sand Village and the Rock Village began to find out the inside story of the Sand and Rock joint operation.

See if the Sand and Rock Ninjas are ready for the next war. Although this possibility is small, it must be prevented.

At the same time, Kakashi was appointed as the captain of the ninja team and led a ninja team to investigate the situation in Takigakure Village.

Kakashi is the disciple of the Fourth Hokage, which is enough to represent Konoha's attention to this matter. At the same time, it can also take the opportunity to observe the reactions of the Sand Village and the Rock Village.

After Kakashi came to the room that Konoha arranged for Takigakure to rest, he found that Shibuki and his group were waiting anxiously.

When Kakashi walked into the room, the eyes of the four Takigakure ninjas all fell on Kakashi.

"Shibuki? I'm Hatake Kakashi. I need to go to Takigakure Village to gather some information. If it's convenient for you, you can go with me. If it's not convenient, you can continue to wait in Konoha."

Shibuki's face, which had seemed a little cowardly, immediately became resolute when he heard Kakashi's words.

"Then let's return to Takigakure Village as soon as possible. The villagers are still waiting for my news."

Kakashi nodded slightly when he heard Shibuki's words.

Soon, both parties packed their backpacks and left Konoha to head towards Takigakure Village.

However, because Shibuki rushed to Konoha day and night, and did not rest well during the waiting period in Konoha, his body was a little weak and he could not keep up with Kakashi's pace.

"Are you okay?"

"Ahem... I'm fine, I can still hold on."

Kakashi glanced at the weak Shibuki and then stopped.

"If you can't hold on, we can take a break. We are still some distance away from Takigakure Village. It is foolish to overdraw our physical strength, which will cause us to arrive at Takigakure Village later."

"Thank...thank you."

Shibuki also stopped and took a few deep breaths. Although he wanted to rush to Takigakure Village now, his physical condition really didn't allow it.

He could only look in the direction of Takigakure Village with a worried look on his face, and kept praying that the village would not suffer too much damage.

...

Takigakure Village.

Under the arrangement of the Takigakure Ninja leader, Takigakure Village began to rebuild.

Or rather, Takigakure Village did not suffer much loss, except for the Seven-Tails and the Sacred Tree.

When Shibuki brought Kakashi's team to Takigakure Village, he saw a village that was generally intact and the villagers who were rebuilding the village.

Shibuki was relieved to see this scene. The current situation was much better than he thought.

"Shibuki is back."

When the Takigakure leader got the news, a smile appeared on his old face, and he immediately came to Shibuki.

But looking at Shibuki's pale face, his eyes flashed with heartache, and he gently stroked Shibuki's head.

"Thank you for your hard work, Shibuki."

"It's not hard, this is what I should do."

When Shibuki heard the words of the Takigakure leader, his eyes were full of tears, but he was stopped abruptly, he didn't want to expose his vulnerable side.

"And this..."

"I am Hatake Kakashi, this time I was ordered to investigate the situation of Sand Ninja and Rock Ninja invading Takigakure Village."

Although Kakashi is not very old, his eyes have a calm and convincing power.

"Okay, okay, it's great that Konoha can send you here. Takigakure Village will always remember Konoha's help!"

The Takigakure leader showed Kakashi a sincere smile.

"Let's go back to the house and talk. This is not the place to talk."

The Takigakure leader led Shibuki and Kakashi into his own house.

Shibuki sat next to Kakashi, and the Takigakure leader sat opposite him.

On the low table, there was exquisite and sufficient food.

"Eat first. This is specially used by Takigakure Village to entertain guests."

The Takigakure leader extended his hand and asked with a smile on his face.

"What is this?"

Kakashi looked at the food in front of him with some doubts.

"Medicinal food."

The Takigakure leader was concise.

"..."

No wonder it smelled faintly of medicine.

"Shibuki has been frightened these days and has overdrawn his body. He needs to be well replenished. Hatake-kun is a distinguished guest and deserves to be treated like this."

"I am an old man who is about to die, so I won't eat it."

The Taki Ninja leader said it very casually, and stopped Shibuki's persuasion with his eyes. He has already felt his own limit and there is no need to waste precious medicinal food.

Kakashi looked at the Taki Ninja leader who still kept smiling and felt a kind of sadness.

This may be the helplessness of the weak.

After eating, the Taki Ninja leader found an excuse to ask Shibuki to leave.

"Hatake-kun, are you satisfied with the food?"

"Satisfied."

Kakashi nodded.

"That's good."

The Taki Ninja leader sighed.

"The Takigakure Village has been invaded by the Sand and Rock Ninjas, and needs Konoha's help."

"Konoha knows too little about the joint action of the Sand and Rock Ninjas, so it is not advisable to act rashly now. I plan to first investigate the intelligence of the Sand and Rock Ninjas, and then return to the village to report this action to the Hokage!"

Kakashi said in a deep voice. Although he is still a little young, he will not easily promise anything on behalf of Konoha.

"Of course, the Takigakure will fully cooperate with Hatake-kun's investigation. I just hope that Hatake-kun can stay in Takigakure Village for a while."

After thinking for a while, Kakashi nodded slightly. It does take some time to investigate intelligence.

The Takigakure leader smiled when he saw Kakashi didn't refuse.

Kakashi, Konoha's genius, the son of Konoha White Fang, and the disciple of the fourth generation of the Hokage. This weight alone is extraordinary.

At least, with Kakashi's presence in Takigakure Village, they can sleep well and no longer have to worry about the Sand and Rock ninjas coming back to kill them.

Then, the Takigakure leader told Kakashi in detail everything he had experienced when the Sand and Rock ninjas invaded the village.

"Wait... Are you saying that the Sand and Rock ninjas went straight to the Seven-Tails and the Holy Tree, and retreated immediately after they succeeded?"

Kakashi asked.

"Indeed, if the Sand and Rock ninjas hadn't had clear goals, I'm afraid the losses suffered by Takigakure Village would have increased further."

The Takigakure leader confirmed Kakashi's inquiry.

Then the Takigakure leader had some feelings again.

I didn't expect that one day I would have to thank the robbers for their accuracy and speed in robbing.

This is really magical realism, but this is the real ninja world.

"The Sand Ninja and the Rock Ninja went straight to the target in a very short time. How could they determine the target's location?"

"Hatake-kun means there is a traitor?"

The Taki Ninja leader was a little doubtful, and then thought along Kakashi's line of thought.

"Indeed, although the location of the Holy Tree and the Seven-Tails is not a secret, not everyone knows it. And the route that the Sand Ninja and the Rock Ninja took at the time was a shortcut that only the Takigakure high-level knew."

An uncontrollable anger and horror filled the Takigakure leader's chest, and a cold color flashed in his eyes.

"The most urgent task now is not anger, but to find the traitor. I need to get more detailed information from him."

Kakashi said.

The Takigakure leader closed his eyes and thought.

He was just limited in his thinking intensity by his aging body, and was dragged down by the miscellaneous matters of rebuilding the Takigakure Village.

But after being reminded by Kakashi, he reacted and found the culprit immediately.

"Hookah, it's Hookah!"

"When the Sand and Rock Ninjas invaded the village, I organized the Taki Ninjas to evacuate the villagers. All the high-ranking officials arrived, but Hookah was the only one who never showed up!"
