When the words of Kage level came out of the mouth of the Third Hokage.

  The office was dead silent, and you could hear a pin drop.

  Kage level.

  Everyone present knew what this word meant.

  That was a terrifying ninja who could fight against many enemies alone and was so powerful that he could destroy a small country single-handedly.

  The four elders present were once young ninjas with outstanding talents, and were taught carefully by the powerful Second Hokage.

  Despite this, the only one who can truly be called Kage-level is Sarutobi Hiruzen.

  Even Danzo, who inherited the Konoha-style swordsmanship of the second generation, cannot be said to have reached the level of Kage. He has merely touched the threshold of that level.

  Utane Koharu and Mitokaiden looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

  "Hiruzen, are you sure?" Utane Koharu took a deep breath and asked.

  "Yes, and he is at a Kage level simir to White Fang." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded slowly.

  this……

  Mitomon En and Utane Koharu, who heard the news for the first time, gasped at the same time.

  White Fang!?

  The image of the silver-haired man with the long sword on his back reappeared in their minds.

  Even though it was a long time ago, the sharp and swift sword light still feels sharp and intimidating when I think back to it now.

  "I hope you can tell me you're joking, Hiruzen." Utane Koharu looked at the Third Hokage seriously.

  There's no need for us to lie to you, Koharu." Danzo shook his head and answered on behalf of Sarutobi Hiruzen: "It's a ninja like White Fang who has reached the pinnacle of ninjutsu and taijutsu. And he is very simir to White Fang, both of them have lightning fsh body and excellent swordsmanship."

  Hearing this, Mizuto Kado En and Utane Koharu could no longer control the shock in their hearts and showed expressions of surprise.

  There are three ways for a ninja to improve his strength: Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, and Genjutsu.

  Practicing any path to the top can open the door to the shadow level.

  But there are also differences in the strength of the film level.

  There is a world of difference in strength between practicing one path to the top and practicing multiple paths to the top.

  Sarutobi Hiruzen himself had delved into the realm of ninjutsu to an extremely high level. At the same time, he was excellent in physical skills and illusion techniques. In the Second Ninja World War, he was awarded the title of the strongest Hokage.

  But that's war!

  In real small-scale and one-on-one combat, the strongest in Konoha will always be White Fang.

  The fsh of sword light that fshed with lightning exceeded the limits of human reaction.

  Most people died without even seeing that light.

  Neither Sarutobi Hiruzen nor the Sannin could do it, and only the te Fourth Hokage could confidently dodge White Fang's sword.

  White Fang was also the first ninja to become a taboo, forcing the four major ninja vilges to issue an order stating that they would abandon their missions without responsibility if they encountered such a terrifying ninja.

  "this……"

  Utane Koharu couldn't believe it, and Mito Kado En was also stunned.

  It took them a while to react.

  Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen quietly digested the shocking news. When they obtained the first-hand intelligence, their performance was not much better than the two elders.

  It is difficult for powerful people of the Kage level to appear in peacetime.

  What’s more, he is a terrifying Kage-level ninjutsu master. When did Uchiha hide this person?

  Danzo and Sarutobi could never figure it out

  Why is there no trace left?

  "I see. The purpose of suppressing the news is to prevent the Uchiha from knowing." Utatane Koharu sighed, and immediately guessed the intentions of Sarutobi and Danzo. "If the Uchiha had such a strong person, they would have unched a coup long ago. That's why you are suspicious."

  Upon hearing this, Mizuto Menyan clicked on the picture, he also guessed the same thing.

  "Yeah." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed tiredly, rubbing his brows and said, "To be honest, Koharu and Menyan, Danzo and I don't think Uchiha Domu has any connection with the forces within the Uchiha, but we don't understand why he defected?"

  "Benefits? Hatred? Injustice? Or what? I have no clue."

  "His information is mediocre, neither outstanding nor bizarre, just like an ordinary Uchiha. Danzo and I have overturned our assumptions about his personality three times in the past two days. We have no idea what he is thinking."

  "Uchiha Doumu defected very decisively." Danzo added: "The teammates who were on the mission, the people we sent out, the ninjas and civilians who came to Konoha in the battle, were all killed, just like demons who only knew how to kill."

  Mitokado En and Utane Koharu looked at each other.

  They agreed with Sarutobi and Danzo's approach.

  There is a high possibility that Uchiha Doumu is independent and has ulterior motives within the Uchiha cn. In this case, the Uchiha cn must not be allowed to know the information about Doumu.

  A shadow-level character who resembles White Fang.

  When the Uchiha hears the news, the rebelliousness within them will swell.

  "So what are you going to do?" asked Mizuto Menyan.

  Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his pipe and said slowly: "Although Uchiha Doumu grew to the level of Kage before we could notice, the situation is not irreversible. He has not yet reached the level of White Fang."

  "We pn to send targeted people to hunt him down."

  "Who is it?" asked Utane Koharu.

  Danzo replied: "Ordinary people can't keep up with the speed of the lightning body, and can't even see it. Only special eyes can keep up..."

  Utane Koharu understood immediately. It was already very obvious at this point.

  "Hatake Kakashi, Hyuga Yōta, who else?" Mito Kado En guessed the members of the pursuit team.

  "There are also Might Guy and Kurenai Yuhi. At the same time, Danzo suffered too many casualties, so this time only two teams were sent out to provide support, and the main force is Kakashi's team." Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

  "It makes sense. I have no problem with that." Utane Koharu nodded.

  "I second that." Mitomon Yan also agreed.

  Thus, the hunting team against Uchiha Doumu was officially established.

  Captain: Hatake Kakashi.

  Team members: Hyuga Yōta, Yuhi Kurenai, Might Guy

  …

  On the other side, Konoha Vilge was several hundred kilometers east.

  Tang Wu, who had left a small town for supplies, walked into the hill and sat on the rocks at the edge of a stream flowing down the mountain.

  His eyes were closed and five corpses were lying at his feet.

  The blood on the soil gradually turned bck, and the ground was covered with scattered kunai and ninja tools.

  The cloth over his eyes and the shadow clone were long gone.

  "This is the seventh batch..."

  Tang Wu murmured to himself, sitting upright in the middle of the ending battlefield, not knowing why he didn't move away.

  The dark clouds in the sky slowly drifted away, revealing the moment of sunlight.

  Suddenly, a sharp bde jumped out from the ground and stabbed towards Tang Wu's chest and abdomen with a sharp and ferocious momentum.

  At this moment, Tang Wu's eyes suddenly opened.

  It's not the Sharingan, but a pair of confused eyes!
