The Invisible Assassin of Konoha

Chapter 102
"Lord Hokage!"

"You are here, come here, I wanted to give you a few more days to rest, but this time the matter is very urgent. You are the fastest in the village, so I can only dispatch you."

The Third Hokage called Rikimaru to his side, then handed several letters to him with a heavy expression.

"This is?"

Rikimaru looked at the stack of letterheads in his hand in surprise, with a puzzled expression, did he ask him to escort multiple confidential documents?
The Third Hokage said: "I want you to deliver these letters to Jiraiya as quickly as possible."

"Teacher Jiraiya?"

Rikimaru was even more surprised, actually asking him to give these letterheads to Jiraiya, but isn't Jiraiya at the border?Could it be that he was sent to the border?
The third generation nodded: "This task is very important. You must hand it over to Jiraiya yourself, and then follow Jiraiya's dispatch. Also, if an accident occurs during the process and you feel that you cannot escape, the first Destroy all these letterheads for a while, understand?"

Seeing that the Third Hokage spoke so seriously, Rikimaru's face also became solemn. This was the first time he saw the Third Hokage give him a mission, so solemn.

"clear."

Putting away these letters solemnly, Rikimaru asked: "Shall I leave now?"

The Third Hokage nodded, and said: "This time the situation is very serious. If there is an accident, you may not be able to return to the village for a long time. Then you will just follow Jiraiya's arrangement."

Rikimaru thought of a possibility that he could not come back for a long time, which made his heart very heavy.

Although the third generation asked him to rush to the border as fast as possible, he didn't always use the flashing dagger.

When on the road, the flashing dagger is definitely a god-level equipment, because using the flashing dagger does not need to consume chakra at all, and it has a 15-second cooling time, and it can advance a maximum range of one kilometer at a time.

At this speed and with full firepower, Rikimaru would be able to reach the border in less than a day. Of course, this is an ideal state. He still needs to spend time identifying the route, otherwise he might get lost.

He explained some of his situation to the third hokage and Jiraiya, but that was also a selective explanation, at least he didn't tell the truth about the flashing dagger.

The third generation thinks that he is fast because he can always turn on stealth, which can avoid many unnecessary troubles in the middle.

Taking time, it took Riki about three days to reach the border, and then went directly to Jiraiya.

In an ordinary residential house, Ji Lai also slept soundly on the bed in an exaggerated posture, turning over from time to time.

He has been in this state since he was sent here again by the third generation more than a month ago. He knows that the third generation sent him here to guard against Yanyin Village, but now that there is no war, he is not too nervous.

Although he got the news that Yanyin Village had gathered many ninjas at the border, so far, the other party had not attacked, so he felt very boring. He simply inspected it every day and then went back to sleep.

While sleeping soundly, Ji Lai also suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, "Who?"

Turning over quickly, his white hair instantly grew longer, covering him, and stabbing towards the back.

"boom!"

"Stinky boy, did you say hello like that?"

The hair was pulled back quickly, and Ji Lai also cursed angrily.

"Hehe, I just want to see your reaction, teacher. As expected of Immortal Toad, you are really powerful. You can still escape my sneak attack while asleep."

Rikimaru stood in the corner, looking at Jiraiya with a smile, the sneak attack just now was naturally done by him.

Zilai also pointed at him and scolded: "You brat, you have the nerve to say, if I hadn't reacted quickly, I wouldn't have been succeeded by you kid, it's okay, now even the teacher dares to do it?"

Riki replied with a smile: "I'm training your reaction ability, teacher. You're more agile than I imagined."

"Don't be poor, kid."

Jiraiya cursed and cursed, and also laughed happily, except for the three boys he took in before in the Land of Rain, he now only has two, Namikaze Minato and Fujiwara Rikimaru.

Namikaze Minato is indeed his proud disciple, but it's a good thing to respect the teacher too much, but it's a bit too boring for a carefree and open-minded person like Jiraiya.

So, Riki is more to his liking, because Riki can let go, even with him as a teacher, he can still make jokes, just like that just now, if Namikaze Minato, absolutely can't do it, Keli Wan But it can be done.

Of course, if you were an ordinary teacher, you would definitely not be as happy as Jiraiya.

"You have joined the Anbu now. Did you bring a mission this time? What orders does the old man have?"

As soon as he got down to business, Rikimaru put away his smile, and took out a stack of letterheads with a serious face: "Mr. Jiraiya, Hokage-sama asked me to give these things to you, and told you to read this one first. "

Jiraiya's face also became serious, he finished the stack of letter papers, and according to Rikimaru, opened the letter in it, and looked at it carefully.

The more he looked, the more dignified Jiraiya's face became, and finally he put down the letter even more heavily, and quickly burned it with fire.

"Do you know what the old man's orders are?"

Rikimaru shook his head: "Of course I don't know, how dare I read Master Hokage's letter casually."

"Is there anything you don't dare to do?" Zilai also gave him a blank look, with a tone of disdain.

"Speak the truth."

"The old man gave us a problem this time."

Seeing that Jilai seemed to have no intention of hiding anything, Rikimaru asked, "What orders does Hokage-sama have?"

Jiraiya also sighed: "The old man is really shrewd. You may not know that not long ago, a news spread all over the ninja world. It is said that not long ago, a major event happened in the Land of Winds. Leading a large group of people to encircle and suppress a monster comparable to a tailed beast, which caused heavy losses to the village."

"Is it from Hokage-sama?"

Rikimaru stayed in Konoha Village to rest some time ago, and didn't ask about the ninja world, so he didn't know about it, but he could tell that it was absolutely impossible for Hidden Sand Village to take such a shameful thing out.

Besides Sand Hidden Village, only he and the Third Hokage knew the secret, and since he didn't say anything, naturally there was nothing to be suspicious about.

"Except for that old man, who else can be? , isn’t this a provocation, alas.”

Don't look at Zilai, who is usually careless, but in fact he is very shrewd. He knows exactly what the third Hokage is up to.
