Chapter 165: White Bird Leaving the Village, Luo Sha Reassured

Under the intimidation of Shiratori, Maki signed the commitment letter on behalf of the Sand Village ninjas, which would bring disgrace to the village.

He always felt that the way Bai Niao looked at him was a little strange, and he always wondered if the other party knew something…

But if you think about it carefully, it shouldn’t be the case. After all, so far only a few people including Lord Kazekage have participated in the planning, so there is no reason for Uchiha Shiratori to notice it.

It couldn’t be that Orochimaru revealed it, right?

“Hehe…” Maki chuckled, amused by his own thoughts.

As an S-rank rebel ninja of Konoha Village, how dare Orochimaru collude with Uchiha Shiratori, the future Hokage?

After Sunagakure surrendered, the ninjas from other small ninja villages also honestly signed the letter of commitment and dared not express any dissatisfaction.

Just like that, under the vigilant and scrutinizing eyes of the Guard Ninja, the ninjas from other villages stepped into the gate of Konoha Village…

The Chunin Exam is about to begin.

Regarding the examiners of this Chunin Exam, Sarutobi Hiruzen also mobilized some ninjas from the Security Department with Shiratori’s tacit approval.

But after getting the list, Shiratori crossed out the names of Shiranui Genma and others.

“Are these people… very busy?” Sarutobi Hiruzen was very puzzled.

Even the ninjas of the Uchiha clan participated in this Chunin Exam, and he was at his disposal during the exam, but only these few special Jonins… Shiratori would not let go at all.

For some reason, he felt a little uneasy, as if Shiratori was going to make some big news during the Chunin Exams…

“Nothing, they have an important mission recently…”

Shiratori didn’t want to say more, and Sarutobi Hiruzen didn’t dare to ask more.

In fact, Shiratori was right. The mission of Xuanjian and others was very important – that was to wait in the village, and after the Sand Village and Rasa tore off their disguises and fell out, they would immediately go to Loulan to pick up Shiratori using the “Flying Thunder Array Technique”.

If something went wrong here and Shiratori couldn’t return to Konoha in time, then things would be very serious…

It’s hard to say what kind of threat the “Magnetic Gold Sand” of the Fourth Kazekage Rasa can pose to Shiratori, but using that kind of large-scale AOE to cause destruction… is no joke!

Even if Konoha Village is not destroyed by then, it will inevitably become a desert…

On the third day after the ninjas from other villages came to Konoha, everyone was busy preparing for the exams, and a hawk carrying a message flew into Shiratori’s office at this time.

This is an urgent report from Queen Sarah of Loulan City. More than five thousand Sand Ninjas are gathering outside Loulan City, ready to attack at any time.

“Finally! A weak Sand Village can squeeze out 5,000 ninjas at such an urgent moment… It’s hard for Rasa!”

Shiratori shook his head and called the heads of various departments to a meeting in his office. He said that he might be away from the village for a while, and if there were any problems, the various departments should negotiate and resolve them among themselves.

Afterwards, he found Genma Shiranui and the other two in the underground base… Well, not surprisingly, these three guys were playing cards again!
He reminded the three of them to keep an eye on the situation in the village at all times, especially on the last day of the Chunin Exam. If they discovered anything, they should go to Loulan to pick him up immediately!
“What’s going on? Is someone going to cause trouble? Both the Hokage and the Kazekage of Sunagakure will be present that day… Who would be so brave?” Shiranui Genma scratched his head.

“Nothing, just that the Sand Village might collude with the traitor Orochimaru to attack Konoha… just a small problem.”

When the three heard the “small problem” that Shiratori mentioned, they were so scared that they almost threw their cards away.

Is this a small problem?
Just kidding!
The Sand Village has gone crazy?
………

Outside Konoha Village.

The fourth Kazekage of the Sand Village, Rasa, smiled and shook hands cordially with Sarutobi Hiruzen. He officially started his visit to Konoha Village and attended the Chunin Exam.

After shaking hands, Luo Sha glanced at the welcoming crowd and asked, “Excuse me, who is the Uchiha Shiratori elder of Konoha Village?”

Hearing this name, Sarutobi Hiruzen’s face darkened.

“I’m very sorry, Master Kazekage. It’s not that Elder Shiratori was rude, but there is an emergency mission that needs Elder Shiratori to handle personally. He is not in Konoha Village right now.”

As for what this “urgent mission” is… Sarutobi Hiruzen himself doesn’t know!
That day he was drinking tea in the Hokage’s office when an Anbu ninja knocked on the door and told him that Uchiha Shiratori suddenly left the village for unknown reasons.

He sent someone to the Security Department to inquire, and the answer he got was that they didn’t know, but Lord Shiratori said that he would have to be away for at least two months.

Two months?
Sarutobi Hiruzen almost burst into swear words!
At such an important time, you, Uchiha Shiratori, skipped work without saying a word? You left all the work to an old man like me?
Can you still have some professional ethics?!
The key point is that it’s okay for this guy to skip work, but the ninjas from the security department are ruthless when it comes to arresting people!

Every day, a large number of ninjas from other villages were arrested and taken to the Security Department’s jail for various reasons, and those leading ninjas from other villages who could not find Shiratori all went to Sarutobi Hiruzen to complain.

During this period, Sarutobi Hiruzen had to go to the Security Department seven or eight times a day, relying on his remaining prestige as a Hokage to shamelessly ask for people…

He even had the urge to issue a golden warrant for Shiratori!

“Really? What a pity… I also want to meet Elder Shiratori!”

Although Luo Sha showed a look of regret on his face, he could hardly suppress the smile.

What Orochimaru said is true!
The restoration of Loulan is indeed related to Uchiha Shiratori!
Since this biggest threat will not return to Konoha in the short term, then things will be easier…

………

“In fact, sometimes I don’t understand Rasa’s thoughts. Even if I am transferred from Konoha, what will happen? Take this opportunity to destroy Konoha and the Uchiha clan? And then wait for me to take revenge on the Sand Village? What’s more, although Jiraiya and Tsunade, one of the ‘Three Ninjas’, are not in the village for many years, they have not betrayed Konoha…”

The desert of the Kingdom of Wind, Loulan City.

Shiratori took Kisame for a stroll in the city.

He was sure that many spies from the Sand Village had already infiltrated Loulan at this time, so he deliberately showed up in public just to tell Luo Sha – just do whatever you want with confidence, I am still in Loulan, thousands of miles away!

Although he really hoped that Luo Sha would die, he still couldn’t understand the other party’s train of thought.

In response to Shiratori’s question, Kisame smiled.

He didn’t know how to answer.

Just like his former boss Xiguashan Puffer Ghost, who was clearly a good member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, but had to collude with Kumogakure just to become a puppet Mizukage…

“How is Sarah doing?” White Bird asked.

“Her Majesty was very worried about the invasion of Sunagakure, but she was relieved when she learned that Mr. Shiratori had returned to Loulan.”

“Um……”

Those five thousand Sand Ninjas outside Loulan City…

Shiratori decided to give them a hard time before returning to Konoha!
Now that you’re here… don’t leave!
