Chapter 471 Mystery (1/2)

But after thinking for a while, Shikamaru still did not choose to inform Kakashi, after all, Kakashi had left Konoha Village.

"Well, in that case, I won't inform Kakashi." Shikamaru shook his head helplessly.

Sasuke and his friends have recovered from their injuries by 70% or 80%, and they have also absorbed an S-level sealing scroll. Now they also have chakra.

Sasuke stood up and walked to the edge of the window: "This place is also a distance away from the Uchiha clan, and we have a mission, so we must go back before tonight."

Ningci nodded in agreement. He didn't want to go home to see his parents yet, so he had to stay in Konoha Village temporarily.

The two of them rushed towards the place where the Uchiha clan lived together, and they did not forget to hide their tracks.

Soon they came to the hall of the Uchiha clan, where about fifty or sixty people gathered.

Each of them wore the exclusive clothing of the Uchiha clan, including the clothing of the Third Hokage, the Uchiha clan leader, the Uchiha Fugaku, and even some branch elders.

"Sasuke and Neji!" Uchiha Itachi frowned slightly when he saw the two brothers coming in. He had heard about the disappearance of Sasuke and Neji yesterday, but they came back at this time.

"Brother, why are you back here?" Sasuke looked at Itachi with some doubts. He thought Itachi was in seclusion studying forbidden techniques, so he didn't want to show up.

"Of course we came back to complete the mission." Sasuke directly took out the mission book written by him and Neji.

"Oh? You completed the mission?" Itachi looked at them in surprise.

"Well! But this mission is too difficult, otherwise I wouldn't have dragged it until now." Sasuke nodded. Although they were covered by Black Zetsu, they still almost died in the forest.

"You are worthy of being our younger brother." Itachi patted their shoulders with a smile on his face.

"Captain Itachi." Suddenly a gentle voice sounded, making them turn their heads to look over.

"Kakashi."

Kakashi walked in wearing a white Japanese hunting outfit. He looked at Sasuke and Neji.

"Captain Kakashi." Neji and Sasuke both called out respectfully.

"Have you completed the mission?" Kakashi looked at them with a smile.

Sasuke nodded: "But it was still too dangerous. Neji and I almost died in the forest. Fortunately, we met a passerby who saved us."

Kakashi's eyes lit up: "Who is that person?"

"I don't know!" Sasuke shook his head. He didn't understand why Kakashi was so excited.

"Captain Kakashi, why do you suddenly ask this?" Neji looked at Kakashi in confusion.

"Because that person is very powerful, I suspect he is White Fang, the son of Whitebeard." Kakashi said surprisingly.

Sasuke and Neji widened their eyes with a surprised expression: "White Fang?! How can you be sure that person is White Fang!"

"Because our mission is to kill White Fang." Kakashi's mouth curled up slightly, and he already had the answer in his heart.

Sasuke and Neji looked at each other, and they soon calmed down. They all understood what Kakashi did, but they had never seen White Fang come out to challenge him over the years, and there were even rumors that White Fang had long since given up the profession of ninja.

"Our strength is far from enough, and we need to continue to work hard." Sasuke clenched his fists, knowing that he was still a long way from it.

"Let's work together, and one day we will kill White Fang with our own hands." Neji looked at Sasuke firmly and said, they all understood that White Fang was the most difficult enemy of the entire Konoha Village, and they didn't want Konoha to suffer any more losses.

.......

At the same time, the underground of the Uchiha clan.

"Hahaha! Finally found it, right there!" A wild laugh sounded underground, and then a thin man with a black hat covering his head appeared in front of them.

"You guys, bring them out, I can't let him escape this time." The thin man said to the four people around him in an imperative tone.

"Yes!" The four people took the order and left.

The thin man watched the four of them leave, his face gloomy: "Hmph, I want to see how big a wave you can make."

Then, the land fell into silence, and the thin man sat on a stone waiting for their arrival.

.........

"Ningci, what do you think we should do now?" Sasuke raised his head and asked after thinking for a long time, and the others stopped discussing and looked at Ningci.

Ningci touched his chin, looking thoughtful: "This is Konoha, a village. If we attack rashly, we will alert the enemy, not to mention that we don't know the enemy's intelligence at all."

"Why don't we follow the plan we discussed before, and let the three of you lure the enemy into the trap, and I will take the opportunity to attack when the enemy is alone." Although Ningci's method cannot guarantee success 100%, it is also a safe method, but this matter requires details and must be foolproof.

"This is the best way, but we have to pay attention to the enemy's strength. You know, we are going to sneak attack a Kage-level strongman this time!" Naruto scratched his hair and said distressedly.

"I know!" Sasuke nodded: "And we have to prepare some things, otherwise I'm afraid..." Their current strength is not enough to challenge the existence of Kage-level.

Naruto looked eager to try: "Hey! Sasuke is right, we need to prepare something!"

"Okay!" Neji nodded: "Then we will work a little overtime today and try to finish it today."

"That's right!"

Sasuke nodded, his heart filled with fighting spirit, he was a born warrior.

On the other side, thousands of meters away from Konoha, a mysterious man wearing a hat and mask was walking slowly on the mountain road.

"The goal this time should not be simple. They are actually called ANBU elites. Not only do they have great strength, they even have many precious medicines." The identity of the mysterious man is self-evident. He escaped from Yunyin Village. Uchiha Madara.

He had been hiding and resting for the past few days and did not appear immediately.

"I wonder how Uchiha Itachi and Uzumaki Naruto's mission went." Uchiha Madara murmured to himself.

He thought of the lofty ambitions Uchiha Itachi and Uzumaki Naruto had made before Hokage Rock, but he thought they would definitely not be able to complete it, after all, where was his strength.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a wave of chakra, but it dissipated in an instant.

"The intensity of this chakra seems to be no weaker than mine. Could it be that someone is using chakra?" Uchiha Madara had doubts in his heart.

"No matter who it is, my mission is to kill White Fang. This guy is really embarrassing me. Haha, I'm really looking forward to it!"

He chuckled a few times. He didn't believe that anyone could defeat White Fang, unless it was a strong man like him.

.........

On the other side, Uchiha Itachi took Naruto, Ino and the others to a hidden base in Konoha.

"Uncle Itachi, why are we here?" Naruto asked curiously.

"Because we have to carry out a mission." Uchiha Itachi said lightly, but his eyes were shining with excitement.

"Mission?!" Naruto, Ino and the others were stunned.

"Yes, what we have to do in the future is to become a shadow-level player, so we need to hone our strength, and what we need are various tasks. The more dangerous the task, the richer the points and task rewards we will get."

Listening to Uchiha Itachi's explanation, Ino and the others understood his intention.

They are now training ninjutsu, but they need to hone themselves better, just like Naruto mentioned just now.

So Uchiha Itachi took them to a small island near Konoha Village. This small island is located next to Konoha Village. It was the place where the fifth generation Kazekage left for his descendants to gain experience.

"Where is this?" Neji asked with a frown.

"This is the place where I learned ninjutsu from my teacher." Itachi said, "The trees on this island are very special. Let's practice here."

Naruto, Ino and the others nodded, and then looked for suitable terrain on the island.

Soon they chose a location.

"Okay, let's start training!" Uchiha Itachi said seriously, and then he took out a scroll: "This is a sealing technique. I will teach you how to form a seal and how to move the sealing technique into the body."

"Oh!" The three of them nodded together.

Then they began the process of learning the art of sealing.

One day passed, Neji and the others had mastered the simple sealing technique, and the day's training came to an end.

"Hufu... I'm so tired." Naruto rubbed his shoulders, a trace of tiredness showing on his face. After all, it's not easy to stand and practice all day.

"I called you here because I want you to practice your patience while practicing. A ninja must have this kind of perseverance." Uchiha Itachi said with a smile: "Since you have been practicing all day, then now Let’s get some rest. I’ll treat you to dinner tonight, and I’ll serve you something delicious.”

Naruto's eyes glowed green, and he said with drool at the corner of his mouth: "Awesome!"

Ino was also overjoyed, her favorite thing was eating.

"You three rest in the room first. I will buy food and wine to reward you. We will continue training when I come back." Uchiha Itachi said.

"Uh-huh."

The three little ghosts all nodded obediently.

Seeing the innocent looks of the three children, Uchiha Itachi also smiled and left.

The main purpose of their coming out this time was to complete the task assigned by Itachi Uchiha, and then carry out the beheading mission.

However, Uchiha Itachi ignored one thing, that is, the target of this mission was White Fang.

Although he did not personally participate in that mission, he already understood a lot of things through intelligence, so he thought it would be difficult to complete the mission this time.

After all, White Fang was someone who almost died even for a strong man like him. It was absolutely impossible to deal with him that easily. It would be very difficult for them to complete the beheading mission.

It's a pity that Uchiha Itachi doesn't know that White Fang's injuries have not recovered in the past few years, and his strength has been declining. Now he is no longer at his peak. Otherwise, with White Fang's ferocity, he would have destroyed the Akatsuki organization long ago. After all the killings, it was no longer Uchiha Itachi's turn to carry out the beheading mission.

........

"Um?"

Neji, who was about to go back to his house to sleep, suddenly stopped.

There was a muffled sound not far away. This was deep in the forest. There were many trees in this place. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't know there would be a big tree there.

Neji slowly walked towards the place where the sound came from, but he was shocked when he saw the scene in front of him.

In front of him was a huge pit, and at the bottom of the pit lay an old man covered in blood.

"Is it Senior White Fang?" Ningci said after a moment of silence. He had recognized the old man as White Fang.

Ningci came to White Fang and squatted down. After checking, he found that White Fang was seriously injured and had fainted.

"Senior White Fang's body has been damaged a lot. If he is not treated in time, he may be in danger of death." Ningci pondered for a while and decided to help White Fang with treatment.

Ningci took out some medicine from his arms and injected it into White Fang's body. The bandage on his arm gradually loosened.

All this was seen by Uchiha Sasuke who was hiding in the dark. His eyes were focused. Who is this little boy? He actually knows medical ninjutsu, and the medicine he used on White Fang is also very precious.

However, this little boy is very friendly to White Fang.

"Who is this little boy?!" Uchiha Sasuke frowned, but he still followed.

This is a cave. This is the temporary camp that Ningci built for White Fang. This is why no one found White Fang when he was unconscious. After all, this place is far away from his hometown.

"Senior White Fang, your injury is not serious, but you'd better leave here quickly, otherwise your life may be in danger." Ningci looked at the unconscious White Fang and said worriedly.

This time Ningci really cares about White Fang, because White Fang is an old man worthy of respect.

"Senior White Fang, my name is Ningci. If you wake up, remember to tell me your name. I will remember it for the rest of my life." Ningci looked at White Fang solemnly and said, this scene made Uchiha Sasuke who was hiding in the dark a little envious.

At this time, Ningci saw that White Fang's fingers moved slightly a few times, and it was obvious that he had woken up.

"Senior White Fang!" Ningci looked at him happily.

"Who are you?" White Fang opened his eyes and looked at Ningci in confusion, but after sensing his strength, White Fang's face changed. This kid actually has fourth-level chakra.

"Uh." Looking at White Fang's reaction, Neji scratched the back of his head in embarrassment: "Senior White Fang, how could you forget me?"

He really didn't remember White Fang. After all, he was a ninja under White Fang, and he hadn't reached White Fang's level, so there was a big gap between the two.

Ningji was at most an ordinary ninja in front of White Fang.

"Sorry!" White Fang shook his head. He didn't want to waste time.
