#181 - Chapter 181: Stealing and Taking
Moonlight Hayate is now also a bit regretful!
Just a while ago, the Sand Village suddenly launched a rebellion, and the Chunin Exam was suspended.
Facing Maki, the Jonin from the Sand Village, who was eyeing him covetously, Moonlight Hayate, unable to spare any effort, could only let the other participant in this match: Sasuke Uchiha, pursue Gaara and the others who had escaped.
Because in Moonlight Hayate's view, Sasuke Uchiha's performance in this match had already reached the strength of a Chunin, and even an outstanding one among Chunin.
But he didn't expect the change to be so fast!
Hearing Moonlight Hayate's words, Kakashi's expression also changed drastically.
However, he didn't have time to waste, and immediately ordered.
"Hayate, please tell the village about this and have them send people to support us. Guy, you and I will go find Sasuke!"
"I understand, Kakashi-senpai!"
Moonlight Hayate's figure disappeared instantly.
Seeing Kakashi and Guy about to leave, Naruto and Sakura, who were on the side, immediately shouted anxiously.
"Wait, Kakashi-sensei, we want to go too!"
This made Shikamaru, who was on the side, a little embarrassed. Of course, he knew this was very dangerous, and reason told him not to go, but if he didn't say anything at this time, it seemed a little disloyal.
"Add me in too!"
Of course, Kakashi also wanted to refuse. It was a bit ridiculous to let three children go on such a dangerous mission.
But looking at Naruto's firm eyes, and recalling his performance in this Chunin Exam, he finally nodded.
"You can go, but from now on, all your actions must be under Shikamaru's command!"
Kakashi was also worried that he wouldn't be able to take care of Naruto and Sakura at times, so it was good to have Shikamaru around.
Shikamaru, upon hearing this, was speechless, and could only complain about the trouble, before quickly following.

Outside the Leaf Village.
The Sand Village ninjas, who were originally ambushing outside the gate, preparing to invade the Leaf Village, had just started fighting with the Leaf Village ninjas.
Maki appeared and brought the Kazekage's order, telling all the Sand Village ninjas to withdraw from the battle.
Although the Sand Village ninjas were a little puzzled, the plan they had prepared for so long was suddenly canceled, but they still obeyed Maki's order and quickly retreated.
Soon after, Maki caught up with Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara, who had retreated in advance.
"Maki-sensei!"
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Maki's arrival.
Maki also rushed to the front and nodded, but when he looked at Gaara, who was holding his head and looking pained, his expression changed drastically, because he had already sensed that the Tailed Beast inside Gaara was about to go berserk.
Just then, a Sand Village ninja stepped forward and said.
"Minister, there are Leaf Village ninjas secretly following us, it's Sasuke Uchiha!"
"!!!"
At this moment, a hint of greed really arose in Maki's heart, but soon Gaara's painful wails sobered him up.
"No, we must return to the village immediately! Sasuke Uchiha will definitely not come alone, Shukaku cannot be lost!"
"Yes!"
These ninjas also knew the seriousness of the Tailed Beast.
To be honest, they weren't too worried about Gaara's life, they were worried that the Tailed Beast would go berserk here, and after no one could control it, the Sand Village would lose Shukaku.
So, under the cover of the Sand Village group, Gaara and the others headed towards the Land of Wind.
In the protection of the crowd, Temari looked at her younger brother Gaara, who was being carried on Kankuro's shoulder and looked pained, and then looked at the village ninjas who had suddenly retreated, and couldn't help but ask her teacher.
"Teacher, what's going on? Why the sudden..."
Maki's answer was simple.
"This is the Kazekage-sama's order! We'll talk about the specifics when the Kazekage-sama returns."
However, although he said that, Maki felt uneasy when he remembered the state he had seen the Kazekage-sama in just now.
"Father!"
Maki's words stunned Temari and Kankuro for a moment, and then they stopped talking.
Although from a bloodline perspective, their relationship was that of father and daughter or father and son, but apart from the beautiful memories of childhood, their relationship became more like pure superiors and subordinates after they grew up...

Leaf Village, Root.
As time slowly passed, although the Root ninjas had tried their best to find him, they still couldn't find any trace of the Fourth Kazekage.
"Useless, you can't even do this little thing well!"
Looking at Danzo's gloomy expression, Yamanaka Fu cautiously said.
"Danzo-sama, could the Kazekage have already left."
"Leave? The sand gold is still under our feet, how could that Kazekage leave?"
Speaking of this, Danzo also fell into deep thought, staring at every corner of the entire Root base and said.
"What exactly is his purpose?"
Yamanaka Fu also fell into deep thought and said.
"But even the Root's bugs can't find the other party's trace? Where can this Kazekage hide? You must know that the entire Root organization's base can be said to be under the surveillance of the Root's bugs."
Danzo's body suddenly trembled, his pupils shrank, and his body immediately moved.
Because he thought of it, the only place in the entire Root organization's base that even the Root's bugs couldn't approach.
Even Yamanaka Fu and Aburame Torune, his right-hand men, didn't know about that place.
Before long, Danzo arrived at his destination.
When he saw the seal that had been broken, his expression immediately turned gloomy.
How did the Sand Village's Kazekage know about this place?
Could it be Orochimaru?
But even so, how did he break the seal here.
Just as Danzo was pondering, Yamanaka Fu, who was here for the first time, asked in surprise.
"Danzo-sama, where is this?"
Danzo didn't hide it, because he still needed Yamanaka Fu's help next.
"This is where the Second Hokage-sama and Mito-sama built together to seal the First Hokage-sama's body, and it is also the predecessor of Root!"
"!!!"
Having no time to pay attention to Yamanaka Fu's shock, Danzo directly asked.
"The seal has been broken, which means that the Kazekage seems to be inside. Use your sensory ability to probe and see?"
"Yes!"
Yamanaka Fu immediately used his sensory ability, closed his eyes and sensed in detail, then frowned.
After a while, he opened his eyes and reported.
"Reporting to Danzo-sama, I didn't feel anything?"
Danzo was stunned.
"Didn't feel anything, what about chakra?"
"No! Perhaps the Sand Village's Fourth Kazekage has some special ability to shield perception?"
Danzo felt more and more that something was wrong.
He didn't care whether the Fourth Kazekage had any ability to shield perception, but even if Yamanaka Fu couldn't sense the Fourth Kazekage's chakra, he shouldn't be unable to sense the First Hokage's huge chakra inside.
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated.
"Be careful, we're going in!"
"Yes!"
And just as Danzo entered this huge cave, the scene in front of him made his pupils shrink.
Because the cave was empty at this moment.
Danzo even rubbed his eyes a little unbelievingly.
Where is my big tree?
And just then, a voice sounded.
"Ninja Art Four Violet Flames Formation!!!"
