Qianano suddenly stopped shaking her legs, turned her head and glanced at Feng Xin, who was expressionless.

Qianno turned around, jumped down from the railing, and patted the non-existent dust on her butt.

"In this case, I will take a few people to explain to the person in charge of Konoha, and I will leave the protection work here to you."

"Okay, leave it to me."

Feng Xin nodded and agreed.

◎

The sun sets and the dusk scene makes the sky darken quickly.

The construction work at the construction site also started to stop, ending the day's work.

"Sasuke, Naruto, you two stay here tonight and keep vigil at the construction site. Someone will bring dinner to you later."

Kakashi ordered.

"Me and Sasuke?"

Because he had just finished treading water practice, Naruto was still wet and looked at Kakashi in surprise.

Sasuke had no emotion on his face and chose to acquiesce to Kakashi's instructions.

"Yes, because it may be a little unrest at night. Although the people from the Thunder Light Regiment will also assign some people to keep watch here, they have too much work to do and may be overwhelmed. Since we have been paid, we must

I have fulfilled my mission. I have already discussed this matter with the people from the Lightning Regiment."

Kakashi said.

As for the safety of Sasuke and Naruto, Kakashi is not worried.

There are many Jonin and ANBU escorts in the dark, and even if he encounters any accident, they will be enough to support him.

After all, the construction site is not far from Dazner's house.

"I know, leave this place to me and Naruto."

Sasuke nodded.

"Then it's up to you, Sakura, let's go."

"Yes, Kakashi-sensei."

Sakura followed Kakashi's footsteps and left with the workers.

"Really, it would be great if I could stay vigil with Sakura."

Naruto started to have delusions there.

Sasuke didn't express any opinion on this. As Kakashi said, since the country of Waves has paid the mission reward, as ninjas, they should be loyal to the mission.

Even if you have to pay your life for it, it is the fate of the ninja.

"Don't practice at night, keep your spirits up. Kakashi is not here, and we don't know when the battle will happen."

"Yes, I understand. I've been practicing all afternoon and I'm almost exhausted. I'm going to take a rest first. Remember to call me when dinner is served."

Naruto waved his hand and walked to the side weakly.

There are simple dormitories here at the construction site for Naruto and the others, as well as the ninjas of the Thunder Group, to rest.

Even if you are keeping vigil, you cannot sleep directly outside, otherwise it is easy to catch a cold in this season.

…

After dinner, Sakura helped Tazuna's daughter Tsunami wash the dishes there.

Kakashi took advantage of the moonlight to come to the open space outside and walked towards the nearby woods.

The moonlight was dim, and only a little moonlight shone into the woods.

Under the dim light of the moonlight, a figure has been waiting there for a long time.

"minister."

The ANBU ninja took off his mask and used the moonlight to look at him. He was a male ninja who was several years younger than Kakashi. He was none other than Tenzo, the current acting head of ANBU.

A wood escape ninja who inherited the bloodline of the first Hokage.

Like Kakashi, he serves as the right-hand man of the Third Hokage in the ANBU.

I also have great recognition and admiration for Kakashi, the dedicated ANBU minister.

Use this as a goal to spur your own growth.

"What's the matter with coming to me at this time, Tianzang?"

Kakashi put his hands in his pockets and spoke casually.

"In the afternoon, the leader of the Lightning Regiment came to see me, and she revealed a shocking news to us."

Tianzang looked serious.

"Amazing news?"

"Kumogakure's two-tailed Jinchuuriki came to the Land of Waves and pretended to be a bounty hunter for the Purple Moon Clan."

"...If so, that is indeed amazing news."

Kakashi frowned.

Kumogakure's two-tailed Jinchuuriki, he didn't know much about it.

But he also knew that the fact that the ninja who knew the Sharingan existed on this island and was sent here by Kumogakure to perform a mission had already proved one thing - the other party had gone very far on the road to perfect Jinchuuriki.

There is a fundamental difference from Naruto, a Jinchuriki who has not yet grown up.

What's more, to be able to subdue the tailed beast, the strength of the jinchūriki itself cannot be underestimated.

Sharing the same mind as the tailed beast is a model of strong alliance.

"Yunyin's purpose is..."

"I'm probably here for the things in the Demon Country Military Factory. Apart from this, I can't think of anything else that could attract the Kumogakure ninjas."

Tianzang said.

Not only Kumogakure, but also their Konoha Village covet the items in the Oni Country Arms Factory.

However, things like 'stealing' cannot be arranged openly.

It is precisely because of this that this joint action between ANBU and Roots took place.

The root is a special department organization specially established in the dark department to deal with these shady matters.

This time, secrets from the Demon Country's arsenal were stolen. Anbu was assisted by ANBU, with root ninjas as the main ones.

But now that Kumogakure's ninjas have come to intervene, the original plan needs to be temporarily changed.

Fortunately, the Kingdom of Ghosts is still investigating the specific identity of the bounty hunter pretending to be the Purple Moon Clan, and through the Thunder Light Group, they have determined that the fourth force is Kumogakure earlier than the Kingdom of Ghosts.

Konoha, who has the priority to learn this information, can in turn take advantage of this and make profits from it.

Tenzo's thoughts have already been seen through by Kakashi.

But Kakashi did not point out that his work here, according to the instructions of the Third Hokage, was to shock more than reality. There is no need to participate in formal operations unless it is a last resort.

He is a deterrent weapon specially planted by Konoha in the Kingdom of Waves in the name of a C-level mission in order to avoid further conflict with the Kingdom of Demons.

"Did the root department notify you?"

"Notification has been made. At present, our two sides have begun to cooperate and make changes to the original plan. The results will probably appear tomorrow evening."

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you. I have a lot of involvement here, so I can't act rashly."

Kakashi nodded.

Tianzang nodded in understanding, and then his body dived into the earth and disappeared.

◎

The next day, morning.

Kakashi and Sakura came to the construction site early in the morning, but only found traces of Sasuke here, while Naruto disappeared from here.

"Where's that guy Naruto?"

Sasuke was eating breakfast, swallowed the food in his mouth, and then said: "He went to another place to practice treading water. He claimed that he wanted to give the little man a surprise."

As he said that, he looked vaguely in the direction of the thunder group.

Chino, the leader of the Lightning Regiment, was still sitting on the railing of the bridge as he was yesterday, looking at the endless sea.

Kakashi understood.

Even a very nervous person like Naruto would feel uncomfortable with the contempt of others.

What's more, to a certain extent, Naruto is also a sensitive child.

Qianno's constant ridicule yesterday aroused a strong unwillingness in Naruto's heart.

That's why Naruto left here early in the morning and went somewhere else to practice treading water.
