Betrayal Has a Terrible Start.

The identity of the murderer, the method of committing the crime, and the characteristics of his abilities are all unknown, the time and place are not fixed, and there is no connection between the targets of the attack, which undoubtedly makes the search more difficult for the Anbu.

At this time, most of the people had already fallen asleep, and only the patrolling ninjas were still sticking to their jobs.Of course, it is not known whether those resting ninjas let go of their vigilance, after all, these days are really not easy for them.

Compared to fighting head-on on the battlefield, this shady assassination method caused them even more headaches.

A patrolling Konoha ninja shuttled through the dark forest, stopped on a thick branch, looked around, and was about to continue patrolling elsewhere, when a hideous black figure suddenly appeared behind him——

The whole body was hidden in the darkness, swift and fierce like a beast attacking its prey, a pitch-black spike emerged from the darkness, and pierced the back of that Konoha ninja's neck silently.

The Konoha ninja trembled, his eyes began to turn white upwards, his consciousness was instantly deprived, and his body looked limp and might fall down at any time.

Suddenly, clear birdsong sounded in the silent night sky, the blue thunder light illuminated the dark woods, and half of the 'monster' appeared in the light——

Wearing a black cloak, the whole person is suspended in the air, and there is a white faceless mask on the face. The height is like an adult, but the hands and feet are not exposed from the clothes, but thick black hairs are protruding from the sleeves. In the mist, a broken black thorn quickly retracted into the right sleeve.

Because the sharp object retracted too quickly, it was impossible to see what kind of weapon it was.

Kakashi suddenly appeared in the sky, the lightning in his hand had already been cut off, and the other part of the broken thorn fell from the tree.

"Ha ha……"

The saved Konoha ninja gasped for the rest of his life, turned around in horror, and saw a big black cloak floating behind him, from which a shocking black cold mist emanated, and the whole person revealed With a strange breath.

Seeing the black cloaked man who failed in his attack, the red pupils did not show any surprise, but turned to Kakashi with a calm face.

"Sure enough, you are the troublesome one, Hatake Kakashi."

His voice was hoarse, and he couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman.

No, judging from the appearance and body shape, I don't know the other party's gender, age and height.

"From your tone, can I think that you and I are acquaintances?"

The Chidori Lightning Light in Kakashi's hand did not dissipate, and he slowly approached the man in the black cloak, his face illuminated by the Lightning Light was full of cold murderous intent.

"Who knows." The man in the black cloak didn't intend to explain anything, his body drifted back a step, and there was a taste of contempt in his voice.

"Don't try to escape, who are you? Why did you attack Konoha? What's the purpose?" Kakashi held Chidori, his footsteps were covered with lightning, and he rushed over into lightning.

The man in the black cloak didn't answer, his body drifted to the side, easily avoiding Kakashi's lightning dash, his crimson eyes were very conspicuous in the darkness.

"Notify the other patrol personnel as soon as possible, and I will track down the cloaked man." Kakashi said to the Konoha ninja who had saved his life.

"Be careful." The Konoha ninja held the wound on the back of his neck, where he was stabbed by a sharp thorn, and said with difficulty.

Kakashi nodded, and rushed in the direction of the man in the black cloak.

After tracking for a while, Kakashi looked at the surrounding terrain, his eyes flashed, and he whispered softly: "Sure enough, as I thought, his attack range is not irregular, and he has never been outside the safe zone. And, so Be clear about the patrol rules in the safe zone..."

The trickiness of things was raised a class again.

Because of the mysterious case of 'missing personnel', different patrol methods are changed every day, the time and place of exchange are changed every day, and the route of patrol is also different every day.

The murderer was either a member of the patrolling ninjas who knew the daily mobilization policy of the patrolling personnel, or a ninja who had the habit of patrolling the safe zone every day and stepped on the spot first.

After tracking for a while, the aura of the man in the black cloak disappeared completely, disappearing into the vast night.

Kakashi knew he had lost track of him, but there was no surprise in his eyes.

If it was an enemy that was so easy to catch, it wouldn't have turned thousands of Konoha ninjas around in the past few days, and there was no solution in the end.

However, with a cautious style of doing things, Kakashi searched carefully for a while, and returned to the camp after finding no doubts.

He didn't return to his tent immediately, but ran to the patient area to confirm the truth of the matter.

"Seniors, is Lin okay here?"

Kakashi ran to the two Konoha Anbe ninjas guarding the door and stopped, panting for a while, and asked softly, looking at the closed curtain from time to time.

"No, no, what's wrong?" Anbu looked at Kakashi and asked strangely.

"I just..." Kakashi was about to explain, when a voice came from the camp as a temporary patient:

"Is that Kakashi?"

"It's me, Lin." Kakashi responded.

"Please come in."

"excuse me."

Kakashi hesitated for a moment, opened the curtain, and walked into the ward, the smell of disinfectant and medicine filled his nostrils.

The lights in the tent are bright, driving out the dark environment, and the light is soft and warm.

Lin was wearing thin pajamas, standing beside the table, slowly pouring a cup of hot water to drink.

"What's going on, Kakashi? Are you coming so late?" Lin asked with a puzzled look on her face, as if she had just woken up, with a trace of tiredness in her eyes.

"I met the murderer just now, and I was worried about your safety, Lin, so..." Kakashi scratched his head and explained awkwardly.

"The murderer? Is it the one from the past few days...?" Lin whispered, sounding a little frightened: "Have you not caught the murderer yet?"

"Let him run away, the other party is very cunning."

"I heard Obito say that the murderer is very powerful. Don't force yourself to act alone, Kakashi. When necessary, you can also call me or Obito to help. After all, I am in much better health now Yes, I will be able to return to the team after a while. Also, thank you Kakashi for worrying about my safety at such a late hour, thank you very much." Lin smiled.

"Everything is what I should do. I will pay more attention next time." Kakashi still scratched his head in embarrassment, looked around in the ward, and finally landed on Lin, asking casually : "By the way, Lin, this is..."
