The truth is that the world is full of ups and downs.

Everything in the River Country touched Shokuhou Misaki greatly, and made her realize that the Naruto world is a real world. There are not only ninjas here, nor are there only ninja villages. The technological level of this world is no worse than that of the real world, and the countries and organizational forms of this world are by no means as simple as shown in the comics.

However, Shokuhou Misaki also knew that the ninjas are still the ones who dominate the Naruto world. Because ninjas have the most powerful violence in the Naruto world, even the most ordinary Genin, his combat ability is enough to crush an army of hundreds of people. If combined with basic ninjutsu such as transformation, a few ninjas can cause great harm to society.

So when facing Kakashi, Shokuhou Misaki directly told Kakashi about the abnormality of the uranium mine, without any intention of hiding it for the River Country. Because Shokuhou Misaki knew that the River Country's development of nuclear weapons was doomed to fail.

In the face of the ninja's transformation technique, no facility in the River Country could prevent Konoha's infiltration. Coupled with the illusion that can directly control other people's minds, the River Country could not hide secrets from Konoha.

Ninjas like Uchiha Itachi can easily sneak into the most confidential facilities of the River Country, and then learn important information from the scientists of the River Country through the illusion of the Sharingan. Then, according to Susanoo, all the important nuclear facilities of the River Country can be destroyed.

This is the horror of ninjas!

Even the most common transformation techniques and illusions are weapons that cannot be matched by gods and Buddhas in war. Not to mention the damage that can be caused by Kage-level strongmen, which is even comparable to nuclear weapons. So even if the technology of the Naruto world is comparable to the real world, it will only be ninjas who dominate the fate of this world.

Of course, Shokuhou Misaki also knows that the order of ninjas cannot be maintained forever.

Because no matter how powerful ninjas are, they are only a minority in this world after all. The vast majority of the Naruto world will never willingly let a small number of ninjas dominate their fate. The attempt of the River Country this time is a rebellion of the world against the ninja order. Even if this rebellion is doomed to fail, the fire of resistance will not disappear.

As long as time continues to move forward, the ninja order will be overthrown one day. Although this day will be very far away, after all, the ninja world will soon usher in a whirlpool Naruto who is comparable to the God King, who will lock the development of the ninja world with absolute power. But as long as the fire of resistance is still there, the ninja world will eventually ignite a raging fire and burn the rotten order to ashes.

However, these things have nothing to do with Shokuhou Misaki for the time being. Now she is just a Genin in Konoha, and she came to the River Country just to perform a C-level mission. Now that the mission is completed, she should naturally leave the River Country.

But just when Shokuhou Misaki and others were returning to Konoha, an accident happened.

Halfway through the journey, Shokuhou Misaki saw Kakashi suddenly stop and focus on a tree on the side of the road. There were several strange scratches on the tree, which seemed to be some special codes. Looking at the information left on the marks, Kakashi was shocked:

No, this is a distress signal from the Anbu!

Shortly after the end of the Third Ninja World War, Kakashi joined the Anbu, and then performed various tasks for the village in the Anbu for a long time. Until recently, he was transferred out of the Anbu by the Third Hokage and began to serve as the instructor of Shokuhou Misaki and others. So Kakashi is very familiar with the various codes of the Anbu.

Looking at the information conveyed on the distress signal, Kakashi's face was gloomy. Because according to the information conveyed by the code, the mission carried out by the Anbu this time is very important, reaching the S-level. Moreover, in the process of the Anbu's mission, the Anbu ninjas also encountered unprecedented strong enemies, so that these Anbu ninjas are facing pursuit.

It is precisely because the mission is very important and the situation is very critical that these Konoha's Anbu ninjas will leave such a conspicuous mark on the roadside. Because they urgently needed the help of other Konoha ninjas, even though they knew that this behavior was likely to expose themselves and that the possibility of getting help was small, these Anbu ninjas still chose to do so.

Feeling the eagerness of the Konoha Anbu ninjas, Kakashi, who also came from the Anbu, knew what he had to do. Even if he didn't help these Anbu colleagues complete the task, he should save the lives of these ninjas.

But when Kakashi made these judgments, he subconsciously glanced at Shokuhou Misaki and others on the side, and his originally firm belief in his heart loosened.

Can let

The mission that put the elite ninjas of Konoha Anbu in danger was absolutely extremely dangerous. Even Kakashi, an elite jonin, could not guarantee that he could escape from such a mission unscathed. Kakashi was like this, not to mention Shokuhou Misaki and others. They were only Genin, and once they were involved in such a mission, they would surely die.

At this moment, Kakashi had to face that question again.

Is the village's mission more important, or the lives of his companions more important?

If the village's mission was important, then Kakashi should decisively choose to contact the trapped Anbu ninjas and lead Shokuhou Misaki and others to complete the village's mission at all costs. The price is that his students will 99% lose their lives in this mission.

And if the companions were important, then Kakashi should take Shokuhou Misaki and others away from here. In this way, the village's mission would inevitably fail, but his students could be guaranteed to be safe.

Mission and companions, this difficult problem raised by Kakashi in the survival exercise, now put Kakashi himself in a difficult choice. Emotionally speaking, Kakashi naturally prefers his partners. After all, this mission has nothing to do with Shokuhou Misaki and others, and his students don't need to sacrifice their lives for a mission that has nothing to do with them.

But rationally speaking, Kakashi knows that he must choose a mission. Because from the performance of Konoha Anbu, this mission is crucial to the village. If he leaves it alone, the village is likely to suffer huge losses. And this loss will inevitably bring a large number of casualties among Konoha ninjas.

Just as Shokuhou Misaki said at the end of the survival exercise, Konoha ninjas must not sacrifice the lives of a hundred ninjas from the same village for the life of a companion.

Thinking of this, Kakashi finally made a choice.

He chose the mission!

"Follow me!"

After that, Kakashi took Shokuhou Misaki and others and walked in the direction indicated by the secret code. Although Shokuhou Misaki and others behind Kakashi did not understand Kakashi's purpose, as students, they could only choose to follow Kakashi.

Relying on the continuous guidance of the surrounding signs, everyone soon arrived at a secret place. Then Shokuhou Misaki saw Kakashi rely on the connection method between the Anbu to establish contact with a masked Anbu ninja.

The Anbu ninja was not very tall, with a katana on his back and a cat-shaped mask on his face. The whole person's temperament was calm and restrained. At first glance, he was a veteran Anbu ninja who was good at hiding. But from his height, this person should be about the same age as Shokuhou Misaki.

About the same age, the identity of the Anbu, relying on the observation provided by the visionary path, Shokuhou Misaki immediately realized the identity of this person.

Uchiha Itachi!

He is actually here!

Seeing Uchiha Itachi, Shokuhou Misaki immediately realized that there was something behind this matter.

Then I heard Kakashi and Uchiha Itachi say:

"Itachi, what happened?"

Shokuhou Misaki recognized Uchiha Itachi's identity, and Kakashi, as a senior of the Anbu, naturally knew Uchiha Itachi.

"Senior Kakashi, we have encountered a difficult enemy."

"What kind of enemy is it that even you find difficult?" Kakashi was a little surprised.

As a senior, Kakashi knows the strength of Uchiha Itachi, who is definitely not inferior to himself. The enemy that can make him feel difficult is only a Kage-level strongman.

"It's Teacher Orochimaru, and the ninja of Sand Village."

Orochimaru!

Hearing this name, Kakashi was stunned. This was one of the three ninjas of Konoha, and the one who was most likely to become the fifth generation Hokage. And because of the influence of Shokuhou Misaki, Orochimaru also became Uchiha Itachi's teacher. So Kakashi can fully understand Uchiha Itachi's mood at the moment. Facing his former teacher, even if he is mature, he will inevitably be a little panic.

In addition to Orochimaru, the appearance of Sand Village ninjas also aroused Kakashi's vigilance.

Although Sand Village and River Country are allies of Konoha, there is no alliance relationship between Sand Village and River Country. The so-called ally of my ally is not my ally. The appearance of the Sand Village ninja in the River Country is something that Konoha should be vigilant about. In addition, the Sand Village ninja is still acting together with the Konoha traitor Orochimaru. These things really make Kakashi feel scared.

Are Konoha's two major allies going to completely betray Konoha and join forces with a traitor like Orochimaru?

If this is true, coupled with the Cloud Village and Mist Shadow who have always been at odds with Konoha, Konoha will face a situation where almost everyone in the world is an enemy in the future. Thinking of this, even Kakashi, who respects the Third Hokage very much, can't help but mutter in his heart at this moment:

If Orochimaru had been allowed to become the Fifth Hokage,

Shadow, there won't be so many things to do, right?

Thinking of this, Kakashi asked again:

"Itachi, what actions will you take next? How do you need our help?"

Uchiha Itachi thought:

"There are four people in our team carrying out the mission this time. One of them died during the mission, and another was seriously injured by Teacher Orochimaru, but his life is not in danger for the time being. The remaining one is lurking in the River Country as a spy. The most important thing for me now is to establish contact with the lurking person and get important information about the River Country from him."

Uchiha Itachi said this, and looked at Shokuhou Misaki and others behind Kakashi.

As peers, Uchiha Itachi and Shokuhou Misaki are not in the same class, so he has no impression of them. But even so, Uchiha Itachi knows the strength of Shokuhou Misaki and others, and they are not qualified to participate in such an important mission. So Uchiha Itachi said again:

"I hope that Senior Kakashi will work with me to establish contact with the Anbu colleagues lurking inside the River Country. As for the injured senior, let Senior Kakashi's students take him back to the village for recuperation."

Compared to sneaking into confidential facilities to obtain important intelligence, taking the wounded away is obviously a relatively easy task. Uchiha Itachi's approach is actually to take care of Shokuhou Misaki and others.

However, even so, Shokuhou Misaki and others will inevitably face various dangers. After all, there are undercurrents in the River Country now. In addition to Orochimaru, there are also ninjas from Sand Village who intervene. If you are not careful, you will fight with the ninjas. And with the strength of Shokuhou Misaki and others, a Chunin with some strength can take their lives.

So after hearing Uchiha Itachi's suggestion, Kakashi looked at the three people behind him with a worried look and asked:

"Can you complete this task and send the seniors of the Anbu back to the village?"

Hearing Kakashi's question, both Namikaze Mai and Katsumura Yota showed a look of fear on their faces. After all, as Genin, they could not imagine that they would be involved in Anbu-level tasks. At this moment, the two of them faced Kakashi's eyes, and there was only panic in their hearts, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

Seeing the performance of the two, Kakashi could only shake his head and sigh helplessly. After all, as a fledgling Genin, it was normal for the two to behave like this. He turned to look at Shokuhou Misaki, expecting this genius girl to give him a little surprise. Then, he heard Shokuhou Misaki smile and say:

"In fact, we don't necessarily need to send the seniors of the Anbu back to the village."

What does it mean that we don't need to send the seniors of the Anbu back to the village?

Seeing that Kakashi and Uchiha Itachi didn't understand her plan for a while, Shokuhou Misaki was speechless. She thought that these two Konoha ninjas had done too many shameful tasks and even forgot about the above-board means.

"Aren't we allies with the River Country? If we are allies, it is only right for the River Country to take care of the injured ninjas in Konoha!"

After hearing this, everyone understood Shokuhou Misaki's plan. Then Uchiha Itachi said in confusion:

"You mean, we should hand over the injured ANBU senior to the River Country?"

"Not handing it over to the River Country, but entrusting the River Country as an ally to take care of the injured ninjas of Konoha."

"Is this so different?" Uchiha Itachi said dissatisfiedly:

"You may not know that the River Country is now secretly carrying out a secret plan, which may be detrimental to our Konoha. The Konoha rebels and Sand Ninjas who appeared in the River Country are very likely allies of the River Country's secret plan. The River Country is already our Konoha's actual enemy, how can we hand over the seniors' "Why don't we hand our lives to the enemy?"

Faced with Uchiha Itachi's questioning, Shokuhou Misaki just said calmly:

"It is true that the River Kingdom is carrying out some terrible plan in secret, but even so, they are still our Konoha's allies on the surface. At least before the River Kingdom's plan is completed, they will not easily tear up the alliance with our Konoha. At least they will not turn against our Konoha for a seriously injured ninja. "

"In that case, why can't we hand over the seniors of the Anbu to the River Kingdom for care? Or do you think that the River Kingdom will make things difficult for our Konoha because of a seriously injured person? "
