Naruto -The Under Cover Way Of Life

Chapter 18: Chapter 18: A Life-or-death Struggle



"Rie... you raised her on your own. Meanwhile, congratulations, your infiltration was successful!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Rinto's twisted face suddenly lifted and stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen as though he were a madman.

"Hey~ Just tell me what you want, I'll cooperate. There's no need to insult my intelligence like this."

At the same time, Rinto hugged Rie tightly and roared in his heart.

"Rie, I succeeded. I finally don't have to be made into Rinto sashimi. I can finally fulfill my oath to your mother, and I can finally let you grow up in the sun!"

Damn, it's so difficult for me!

In this battle, despite facing a powerful enemy, being surrounded by others, and having his supplies cut off, he finally turned the tables!

He amazed Sarutobi Hiruzen with his abilities, moved him with his emotions, and shook him with his beliefs.

To put it bluntly, he had forced the man who would be known as the 'Ninjutsu Professor' in the future to develop a love for talent.

Of course, the most important thing was that his feelings were extremely real.

Hearing Rinto's question, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly laughed.

"You suspicious little brat, you can leave now, I believe no one will stop you.

Even if you leave the village now, I won't stop you."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was certain that Rinto would never flee Konoha, and would even join Konoha sincerely.

This! This is the confidence of a generation of heroes!

Hearing this, Rinto fell silent.

After a long while, Rinto hugged the fainted Rie, slowly stood up, and said in a hoarse voice:

"I... I know what to do!"

After saying that, he hugged Rie and prepared to leave with staggering steps.

Just as Rinto opened the door and was about to step out of the room, Sarutobi's voice suddenly rang out again.

"By the way, I'm personally a little curious about how you were able to kill four ninjas, including the Jōnin named Onobuta."

"Of course, you can choose not to answer this question."

Hehe, I choose you, a chrysanthemum stick hammer! Still choosing, do I have any choice?! Damn it.

Rinto complained madly in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged. He decisively chose to reveal some of his cards.

Stretch out your hand and let the Chakra flow slowly along your meridians.

In an instant, a kunai flew out from his arms.

Seeing this, Sarutobi's eyes narrowed, and he was overjoyed.

He knew that Magnet Style was a jutsu and bloodline unique to the Sand Shinobi Village in the Wind Country, but he wasn't worried.

Because Rinto did not lie or hide his Chakra attributes, which just showed that he was defenseless against Konoha!

"Magnet Style, this is my Chakra attribute.

I know, I may be from Sunagakure, and you may also suspect that I am an undercover agent sent by Sunagakure to Rain Shinobi.

It doesn't matter, you can take a picture of the ninja outside and monitor me 24 hours a day without hiding. "

Rinto no longer concealed his mature heart. He reached out and grabbed the kunai flying in the air. He bent down, put it on the ground, and then, without looking back, hugged Rie and strode away.

…..

In the spacious Hokage office, Senju Tobirama, who was over 40 but still very handsome, stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the street in the distance.

Behind him, Sarutobi Hiruzen was reporting the process of interrogating Rinto with a serious face, describing every movement, expression, and word of Rinto in great detail.

Soon, the report was completed, and Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Senju Tobirama's back with confidence, waiting for the teacher's questions.

As expected, after listening to Sarutobi Hiruzen's report, the Second Hokage slowly turned around and asked expressionlessly.

"What do you think, Monkey?"

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen was shocked and spoke.

"Teacher, my opinion of Sakuta Rinto is that he is far more intelligent than his peers and even adults.

He values bonds very much and is willing to sacrifice his life for the companions he recognizes.

The conclusion is that he can be influenced by the atmosphere of the village and the will of fire and absorbed into the village!"

"Reason?" Senju Tobirama asked concisely.

It sounds like nonsense, even though Sarutobi Hiruzen had already explained the reason before.

But he knew that the teacher asked about the reason, which was a deeper question: how to ensure his loyalty?

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke without hesitation.

"The girl named Sakuta Rie, and the dead Sakuta Shui Xiong!"

Senju Tobirama nodded in response to the monkey's answer.

"Monkey, you have made progress, very good."

"However, you don't have to worry about Rinto Sakuta's loyalty, but you can't entrust him with important tasks."

"Teacher, why?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked in a lost voice after hearing the teacher's words. He also wanted to accept Rinto as his disciple!

Senju Tobirama did not answer Sarutobi Hiruzen's question but instead asked Sarutobi a question.

"Monkey, have you ever thought about this question? Rinto Sakuta, he came to Konoha to seek refuge?"

"What?" Sarutobi Hiruzen lost his voice again.

Senju Tobirama did not continue to test this beloved disciple, and spoke on his own.

"Rinto Sakuta may have planned to take this opportunity to break away from Rain Shinobi from the beginning;

This can be seen from the way he arranged his teacher, Shun. He knows his teacher very well, and at the same time, he also knows Hanzō of the Salamander very well.

I believe that if he could, he would definitely escape with his teacher.

Unfortunately, Shun was raised by Hanzō of the Salamander, and although there are conflicts in their ideologies, it is almost impossible for him to defect.

So, he arranged for his teacher to get married, hoping to make his teacher more concerned.

This also explains why he later attacked the ninjas from the same village.

First, he really couldn't tolerate such behavior; second, he was confident that he would not let a single person escape; third, he didn't care about the village.

This is why he told you the fact that he killed Rain Shinobi without hiding it.

He is sending you a message that he doesn't care about Rain Shinobi, he only cares about Shun.

He was the one who chose Konoha, not you who chose him!"

With that, he glanced at the stunned Sarutobi Hiruzen, reached into the drawer, pulled out a scroll, and placed it on the table.

"Have a look."

Sarutobi Hiruzen came back to his senses, quickly picked up the scroll, and began to read it quickly.

"Cursed Seal?! Found on the tongue of a boy who died in the Land of Hot Springs?" Sarutobi Hiruzen exclaimed.

"The research team has studied it and found that it is a trigger-type curse. Its effect is to destroy the entire brain. The trigger word is any information about Rain Shinobi.

He told me so much information about Rain Shinobi, did you see him die?

Or did you see the curse mark on his tongue?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head stupidly.

"This guy has already prepared a way to unlock the curse. Perhaps, he has already prepared to leave Rain Shinobi!"

After saying that, Senju Tobirama sighed slowly, with a hint of fear flashing in the depths of his eyes.

It's not fear based on strength, but fear based on intelligence.

Rinto Sakuta, who was clearly an undercover agent sent by the Rain Shinobi Village and whose identity was exposed, managed to use strategies and means to make Sarutobi Hiruzen lose his desire to kill him and allow him to live in Konoha.

He used various behaviors to package himself as non-threatening and used an almost frank attitude to wear down my defenses against him.

Rinto Sakuta, an undercover agent and a traitor to the village, made Senju Tobirama believe that he would never pass on Konoha's information and would never betray Konoha. It's simply outrageous!

This kind of scheming and wisdom, Senju Tobirama has never seen from Sengoku to now.

Perhaps Uchiha Madara and his elder brother Senju Hashirama have the power to destroy the world, but this kind of overall view, this ability to see the whole picture and control people's hearts, is only within them.

"No need to monitor him. This guy knows what he should do better than anyone else. Since he has chosen Konoha, just let him live in Konoha honestly."

As he was speaking, Senju Tobirama's tone suddenly became extremely serious.

"But! Monkey, you have to remember this! Never let him enter Konoha's upper echelons!"

After saying that, Senju Tobirama sighed inwardly and silently added: If you let him enter the upper echelons, none of you will be able to beat him.
