Naruto: I, a decent person, have become the mastermind behind all this!

Walking out from behind the tree, Uchiha Shisui looked at the corpses on the ground with astonishment.

It was the first time he saw the power of grenades.

Hoshita Shuichi was very satisfied with the first battle of the grenade, and smiled and said: "It's a small design, Shisui you will know it later."

Uchiha Shisui immediately understood, nodded and did not ask any more questions.

Stepping forward, Hoshita Shuichi opened his mouth and a fireball enveloped all the corpses and ignited them.

With his chakra, although he could not melt those iron beads, it was enough to destroy the traces of the battlefield, making it impossible for people to see the mystery of the grenade.

After doing this, Hoshita Shuichi and Uchiha Shisui turned around and chased Kurama Sanyo.

10 minutes later.

Hoshita Shuichi and the others met with Kurama Sanyo and the others, and returned along the same route. After entering the Land of Fire, they were met by an Anbu team.

Unlike Sarutobi Shinnosuke before, all members of this Anbu team wore animal masks.

If they were not familiar with them, it would be difficult to tell their identities.

And these people did not talk to Shuichi Hoshita and the others, but were distributed on the periphery to protect Shuichi Hoshita and the other four.

Uchiha Shisui and Kurama Sanyo took the time to rest, Shuichi Hoshita ate another soldier pill, and then continued to treat Haneda Koichi's injuries.

His palm fairy technique was not very proficient, and it would take a longer time for the deep wounds on Haneda Koichi to heal, which meant consuming more chakra.

As for Namikaze Minato and Sarutobi Shinnosuke, Shuichi Hoshita did not know the specific strength of the latter, but he believed in Namikaze Minato and Flying Thunder God.

Time passed by little by little.

An hour later, the Anbu ninjas suddenly moved, and two of them went west.

Shuichi Hoshita and Uchiha Shisui looked at each other and showed joy.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Namikaze Minato to appear in everyone's sight.

"Teacher Minato!"

Shuichi Hoshita and the other two went up together.

Namikaze Minato smiled and said, "You have done a great job on this mission."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke came over after handing over to the Anbu team and said to Hoshita Hideichi, "Sorry, I didn't bring back your kunai."

Hoshita Hideichi quickly said something nice after hearing this: "Ninja tools are just consumables, but companions are not."

This sentence made everyone look sideways. When Namikaze Minato and the others were thinking about it secretly, Kurama Sanyo was already excited and shouted: "What Hideichi said is so right!"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke also nodded in appreciation, feeling from the bottom of his heart that his father had not made a mistake in his choice of people.

Namikaze Minato patted Hoshita Hideichi on the shoulder and smiled, "You all did a good job. Let's take a rest first, and then we can set off to Konoha."

Hoshita Hideichi and the other two nodded one after another. They really needed to rest.

However, after handing over to Sarutobi Shinnosuke, the Anbu team took Haneda Koichi back to Konoha first.

In the woods, while taking a break, Kurama Sanyo couldn't help asking, "Teacher Minato, is it the Sand Ninja?"

Namikaze Minato glanced at Sarutobi Shinnosuke, then nodded, "It's the Sand Ninja."

"It's related to our last mission. There are signs that the Sand Ninja and Hanzo are joining forces, and it's because of the River Country."

Uchiha Shisui asked hurriedly, "Teacher Minato, are the Sand Ninjas going to join forces with the Rain Ninjas to compete with us for the River Country?"

"If so, what's the benefit for the Sand Ninjas? Even if they join forces with the Rain Ninjas to take over the River Country, the benefits need to be distributed."

Namikaze Minato nodded, "Shisui, your analysis is correct, but the Sand Ninjas have the upper hand against the Rain Ninjas, but are at a disadvantage against our Konoha."

"Secondly, the River Country did not fall to our Konoha."

What?

Uchiha Shisui and Kurama Sanyo were both stunned and couldn't understand.

After all, the evidence of the last mission was complete. Could the River Country Daimyo turn a blind eye to the evil deeds of the Sand Ninjas?

Shuichi Hoshita thought: "Teacher Minato, there should be more than just a fight for the number of tasks in the River Country, right?"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke was surprised, but Namikaze Minato smiled and said: "As expected of Shuichi."

"And..."

Shuichi Hoshita looked at Uchiha Shisui and Kurama Sanyo: "For the Daimyo of the River Country, that village is actually irrelevant."

"Being caught between the big countries, the best state is to swing left and right and gain benefits, rather than completely surrender to one side, unless that side has absolute strength."

Having said that, Shuichi Hoshita doubted whether there was anything about Danzo in this.

It's not that he is blackening Danzo, but this guy is a radical.

Sarutobi Hiruzen gave the dirty work to Danzo, and at the same time gave Danzo the opportunity to accumulate his own strength and ambition.

Last time, would Danzo throw the evidence in front of the Daimyo of the River Country, and then persuade the Daimyo of the River Country to completely abandon the Sand Ninja in a friendly manner?

Now, Shuichi Hoshita is more convinced that Danzo will use a tough attitude to force the River Country.

Even more malicious speculation, will Danzo intentionally use this to provoke disputes?

…

After listening to Shuichi Hoshita's words, Uchiha Shisui fell into deep thought, while Kurama Sanyo was puzzled.

Politics, he doesn't understand.

Shuichi Hoshita doesn't understand it very well, but he understands a little.

After resting for about two hours, Shuichi Hoshita and his group of five set off to return to Konoha. It was already night when they arrived.

After handing in the mission at the Hokage Building, Minato Namikaze announced a three-day vacation.

After disbanding and going home, Hoshixia Xiuyi took a nice bath and then went out for a big meal.

When I came out of the hotel, I happened to see Tianyun wearing a kimono. Her graceful figure was pleasing to the eye. She immediately stepped forward and said, "Sister Tianyun!"

Tianyun turned around and looked at Hoshixia Xiuyi in surprise: "Xiuyi, didn't you say it would take half a month?"

Hoshixia Xiuyi smiled and said: "The mission ended early."

He looked up and down at the bumpy Tianyun, and joked: "Sister Tianyun is dressed so beautifully, are you going on a blind date?"

A red cloud appeared on Tianyun's face, and then he snorted softly: "Am I the one who needs a blind date?"

Then he added: "I came out with my sister, who is about to get engaged."

elder sister?

got engaged?

It was the first time Hoshita Xiuyi knew that Tianyun had a sister, and he quickly smiled and congratulated her.

Tianyun put his arm around Hoshixia Xiuyi's shoulders and said: "If you are in the village then, you must come as a distinguished guest of our family."

Xingxia Xiuyi agreed, and he didn't mind getting closer to Tianyun's family at all.

…

When he got home, he threw the bags on the ground, and Xingxiaxiu threw himself on the sofa: "Sure enough, no matter where you are, shopping with women is the most tiring."

After spending an hour shopping with Tianyun, he felt even more tired than when he was on a mission.

But Tianyun also bought him a lot of things.

Clothes, shoes, magatama pendants, etc.

After taking a rest, Hoshixia Xiuyi packed up the things Tianyun gave him and then fell asleep.

Go to bed early today and start a three-day assault training tomorrow.

As for a vacation?

does not exist!

However, when Hoshita Shuichi fell asleep beautifully, the Hokage Building was still brightly lit.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo, Koharu Koharu, and Mito Kaden were gathered together at this moment.

"Danzo, you shouldn't force River Country like that, that is a daimyo after all."

Mito Kabuto complained.

Danzo said calmly: "But facts have proven that our methods are still too weak."

"If the Third Kazekage can help the River Country find iron ore, it is inevitable that the River Country will fall to the Sand Ninja."

"Unless we let the daimyo of River Country know that without Konoha, they will not be able to mine iron ore with peace of mind."

"You know, there are a lot of ninja organizations in the Kingdom of Rain now. Since the Sand Ninja and the Rain Ninja can hire them to deal with us, it is natural for these ninja organizations to enter the Kingdom of River."

"So, it's not going to be that hard to get this thing sorted out once and for all."

After turning to bed, Koharu said: "What Danzo said makes sense. We are not talking about whose responsibility it is now."

She looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Hiruzhan, what are you going to do about this?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen blew out a puff of smoke and said in a deep voice: "The tasks of the River Country must not be thrown away."

"Besides, Hanzo and Suna Ninja cannot be allowed to join forces."

"Danzo, leave this matter to Nebu."

Although he was a little disappointed, Danzo still nodded in agreement.

Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered: "As for the cooperation between River Country and Sand Ninja, I will let Sakumo investigate this matter."
