"Something must have happened over there. Don't let Shikamaru come over here."
"Just tell him to go to the forest."
The person watching the monitor bit his lip hard, frowned, and commanded the people nearby.
But even if Shikamaru goes, who knows what the situation will be like.
Dealing with those two Akatsuki members back then took a lot of manpower. Who knows who's coming this time? It feels like it will be quite troublesome.
As someone ran out to notify again, a person nearby who was in charge of putting together the images seen by all the deer called out.
"All the deer are starting to move closer over there..."
"And here, we have a picture of a person. Although it's a bit blurry, please come and take a look."
The person who seemed to be the leader of the surveillance team took a step forward and looked at the content on the image.
Although it was quite blurry, it felt like that person was moving at the time, so the image was very vague.
You can't see his specific movements, and you can't tell what kind of expression that person has. You can only barely judge by the shaking movements.
Animal mask, and silver hair with black clothes.
Although they captured some important records, they discovered something even more frightening.
"Now all the deer are moving closer to that location."
Logically speaking, this shouldn't happen.
Normally, these deer aren't very close to humans. Usually, people from the Nara clan come in to feed them.
Deer and the Nara clan have a special connection. Outsiders can't really understand the principle of this matter; they can only barely know that this is the case.
But deer are very sensitive to sounds. Some slight rustling noises will attract them to observe things.
What's more, Hatake Satoru made such a big commotion, they will naturally be attracted to it.
Then, more and more deer gathered over there, but there were doll figures sitting on the heads of those deer.
The deer's patience ran out. Many deer started shaking their heads, preparing to throw the doll figures off their faces so they wouldn't block their sight.
It was when the deer were shaking their heads that some images captured Hatake Satoru's figure.
But there were no very specific facial features, and there were no particularly recognizable marks.
For example, a forehead protector or an Akatsuki robe, something that can prove which faction they belong to, so that they can have a direction to guess.
What they are going to do with Hidan's body.
But that person's speed was very fast, and you couldn't even make out a human shape. The few rare profile pictures only showed the mask that person was wearing on their face.
"Don't just rely on Shikamaru. Let's also send a team of people over there."
Konoha's fighting power isn't abundant right now, but it's not the chaotic situation it was a few years ago.
They still have some regulatory power over things in their village.
The figure they saw just now was very unfamiliar. Rather, no matter who saw that fleeting figure, they wouldn't be able to recognize who it was.
They can only know the answer when they face him directly.
But when those who arrived in the dense forest before Shikamaru discovered that there was already someone standing outside the dense forest.
That person was Hozuki Mangetsu.
Of course, because he was wearing a mask, everyone could only once again see him as someone who didn't know any affiliations and didn't know what he was doing.
Hozuki Mangetsu stood with his hands in his pockets, and after standing firm, his attitude became casual.
However, that's also true. In Hozuki Mangetsu's opinion, the strength of these people isn't enough.
He thought he would need to put in some effort to deal with these people, but now it seems that these people are just so-so.
Hozuki Mangetsu didn't want to use easily recognizable Ninjutsu to deal with these people. Using Water Style would increase suspicion, but his mastery of other Ninjutsu can only be said to be average.
Not fancy enough, not impressive enough.
How can a dignified Mizukage use ordinary Ninjutsu?
In order to avoid using Ninjutsu, Hozuki Mangetsu decided to dodge if he could, and not engage in Ninjutsu fights unless absolutely necessary.
Of course, after seeing these three people, Hozuki Mangetsu felt that he was a little too worried.
If it's just to delay time, he really doesn't need to fight these people with Ninjutsu.
If Hatake Satoru were standing here, he would definitely mock them a few more times regardless of the consequences.
Unfortunately, the person standing here is Hozuki Mangetsu.
Although he usually looks casual and trusts others easily, he is essentially a little cautious in his heart....
Plus, after being tricked once in Sunagakure Village, it can be said that Hozuki Mangetsu grew up from being tricked.
He will never give the enemy his weaknesses.
Hatake Satoru doesn't fear anyone, and no one can harm him.
But Hozuki Mangetsu is different. He can no longer blindly rely on Hatake Satoru.
Hozuki Mangetsu's gaze became slightly deeper. He would never let them have even the slightest possibility of seeing through him.
I won't let you in.
As his gaze deepened, Hozuki Mangetsu gradually lowered his body and made a fighting stance.
"Yosh~ Isn't he here!".
"Let's go!".
Just as the four people were poised and ready, a very excited and lighthearted voice suddenly came from behind them.
"Someone went in!".
Before the voice coming from the forest could finish, Shikamaru's anxious voice also came from behind the three people.
He finally managed to seal Hidan inside. At this time, Hidan is probably about to die. If someone interferes and saves him,
Then all his efforts would be in vain.
Shikamaru bit his lip hard. Although he expected someone to come to save Hidan, after so long, he thought he could rest assured.
"Eh——you actually came here~".
Hatake Satoru briefly landed on the ground and showed a smile as he looked at Shikamaru running over.
But this smile was blocked behind the mask, and for a moment, a few people were somewhat silent.
He actually came here.
These words seem to say that he already knew that Hidan was sealed underground by Shikamaru.
What's going on with this person? And this tone is too familiar. They don't remember having such an acquaintance!?
They clearly didn't feel the aura of anyone else just now. Why did this person suddenly appear here!?
"Do you know me?!".
Shikamaru questioned breathlessly. He had a inexplicable sense of familiarity with this voice.
But he just couldn't remember whose voice it was.
He didn't have much energy to care who this person was. His sight quickly moved, and then suddenly contracted sharply.
