When Uchiha Tunan returned to the town, he had something to eat at the breakfast shop and then returned to the hotel to catch up on his sleep.

In the following days, everything was calm in the town.

Uchiha Tunan has been staying in the hotel, always using a white dove to check whether anyone is coming from the direction of the border.

Time passes day by day.

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

According to Hatake Sakumo's strength, it's time for him to come back.

Could it be that Hatake Sakumo and the others arrived at the town where the two root ninjas were stationed.

As a result, there was no one there, so no one released the flare to notify themselves?

It is possible.

However, Uchiha Tunan has no intention of going to investigate.

What if we bump into each other there?

Do you want to say that you have telepathy and guessed that the Jonin stationed in that town was missing?

In the middle of the night on the tenth day, a stream of red light flew across the sky towards the town.

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

I saw red streamers flying over the town and exploding like fireworks.

"It turns out to be a signal flare for the tracking principle."

Uchiha Tunan said to himself.

Then he jumped out of the window and ran towards the direction of the red streamer.

Back then Kazuki Kamiya and Taro Yoshida wanted to capture the Sharingan.

Uchiha Tunan was deliberately placed in the most marginal town.

This is the farthest place from where the signal is sent.

Uchiha Tunan ran for five hours, and it was already dawn before he arrived at the place where the signal was transmitted.

This is also a garrison town.

I saw Kakashi standing at the intersection of the town.

Seeing Uchiha Tunan arriving, Kakashi waved to him.

Uchiha Tunan ran to Kakashi, pretending to be out of breath and asked: "How is the mission?"

"Failed." Kakashi shrugged indifferently.

Uchiha Tunan frowned and said:

"What's going on? Lord White Fang took action, how could it fail?"

Kakashi looked behind him, then lowered his voice and said:

"That guy was poisoned by Sunagakure Village. In order to save him, my father traded hostages for the antidote."

Uchiha Tunan suddenly realized:

"That's it~

That’s right.

After all, that person is the captain of the Root Army and is more important to Konoha than the hostage.

Anyway, if the hostages are handed over to Sunagakure Village, Sunagakure Village will safely deliver the hostages to their employer.

Konoha just lost a reward, it’s not a big problem.”

"That guy is quite conscientious. He said he would make up for us the reward for this mission after returning to the village."

After Kakashi finished speaking, he pointed to a teahouse in the town behind him and said:

"Minato-sensei has arrived. You go and join them. I have to wait for the other two guys."

Uchiha Tunan smiled slightly and said:

"Thank you for your hard work. Why don't you let me wait? Your father failed in his mission, so you can go and comfort him."

Uchiha Tunan didn't want to meet the captain of the Root Force, lest he reveal his flaws when talking about the other two people.

Kakashi rolled his eyes and said, "There's no comfort, it's just an S-level mission."

Uchiha Tunan reached out and pushed Kakashi and said: "Go ahead, you and I are the same anyway."

Kakashi couldn't resist Uchiha Tunan, so he could only nod and said: "Okay."

Time passed little by little, and until noon, the two men from Genbu had not come yet.

Hatake Sakumo, Aburame Ryoma, Namikaze Minato and Kakashi all came to the intersection of the town.

Hatake Sakumo said solemnly: "They haven't come yet. They may have encountered the enemy. Let's divide into two teams to pick them up."

However, this idea was rejected by Aburame Ryoma without hesitation.

"No need, they haven't come yet and haven't used signal flares to call for help. They are probably dead."

"Go and have a look, just in case you are still alive." Namikaze Minato scratched his head and said.

Aburame Ryoma said expressionlessly:

"For this kind of mission that was explained in advance, no matter whether it was late or the signal flare was not released when there was danger.

These are already very serious crimes.

Even if they are not dead, they will be executed when they return.

This is the fundamental rule."

Hatake Sakumo sighed when he heard this, nodded and said: "Then don't wait any longer, let's go back to the village."

.......

In the Hokage Building, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the four people in front of him and smoked a cigarette quite boredly.

"White Fang, you did the right thing. After all, Ryoma is your companion and the captain of the root force.

Whether it is for you or 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 couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the large reward on the task list.

If I had known better, I should have let White Fang go on the mission alone.

At the same time, in the root base camp.

Danzo looked at Aburame Ryoma, who was kneeling on one knee, with a gloomy face, and said in a cold voice:

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

But what about your results?

The hostages were handed over to Sunagakure Village because of you.

That kid's Sharingan failed.

Ichiki and Taro are also missing."

Ryoma Aburame lowered her head and said coldly: "Danzo-sama, this mission is indeed my fault.

As for Ichiki and Taro, their subordinates suspected that they had exposed a flaw along the way.

It probably made Namikaze Minato suspicious."

Danzo said with a chill in his eyes:

"You mean, these two losers were killed by Namikaze Minato."

Aburame Ryoma did not draw a definite conclusion, but also mentioned another possibility.

"It could also be that Uchiha brat."

Danzo narrowed his eyes slightly, nodded and said: "This possibility cannot be ruled out.

As long as an adult Uchiha awakens the three magatama, he will basically have the strength of an elite jounin.

Although this kid is still young, he is already in the golden stage of development.

Last time he was able to kill Ryosuke with a trap, and this time he might be able to defeat two jounin alone.

But this possibility is a bit too small.

After all, I already told Ichiki and Taro before they set off, asking them to pay attention to that kid's illusions."

After Danzo finished speaking, he glanced at the robot-like Aburame Ryoma, gave up his plan to punish him, and sighed:

"Please step back first and we'll talk about this later."

"Yes."
