A name suddenly surfaced in Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind.
Aokawa!
However, from the previous medical assessment, perhaps because it was just a spar, the power of Aokawa's Kekkei Genkai when it hit Kaito didn't seem very strong.
If he prepared for a long time only to wound Onigumo, it wouldn't be very meaningful.
But according to the report Shirakumo Hayama sent earlier, he had assisted Hyuga Fū and his son in capturing a group of rogue Ninja.
During that process, he was shocked by Aokawa's beyond-visual-range strike.
According to his description, the range of Aokawa's Kekkei Genkai seemed even further than before, and its power was also very strong.
He wondered if it was the new skill Kurenai Yūhi had mentioned some time ago.
It was just that Kurenai Yūhi didn't know the specific details either.
Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered for a moment, then suddenly sat up and spoke toward the shadows:
"Send word to Shirakumo Hayama. Have him hand over the rogue Ninja to Hyuga Fū and his son for escort, and return to the Village immediately."
"Yes." The Anbu took the order and left.
"Shirakumo Hayama?" Nara Shikaku was very confused upon hearing this.
He was just about to recommend Minato Namikaze for the secret assassination mission.
After all, the Flying Thunder God had unique advantages in moving long distances, making it most suitable for such secret assassination missions.
Moreover, with the Flying Thunder God, as long as the distance wasn't as vast as Kazegake Valley.
If a Kunai could be thrown to the border on the other side, Minato could go directly across without having to bypass the entire Land of Frost, and it would be much more convenient when returning.
Although Shirakumo Hayama's Body Flicker Technique was good, it still couldn't compare to the Flying Thunder God.
"Hokage-sama, would Minato Namikaze be more suitable than Shirakumo Hayama?" Nara Shikaku asked.
As a high-level advisor, he had the right to question the Hokage's unreasonable arrangements and provide better suggestions.
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded: "I understand, but Minato is currently in a standoff with Iwagakure. We should avoid redeploying him if possible."
Nara Shikaku nodded upon hearing this: "Then I shall take my leave."
Seeing the door close.
Hiruzen Sarutobi tapped the ash out of his pipe and took a puff.
He stood up and turned toward the floor-to-ceiling window behind him, looking at the street scene outside.
Shirakumo Hayama's travel speed was very fast; logically, he should arrive tomorrow.
As a Ninja who had personally experienced Aokawa's Kekkei Genkai, he would let his judgment be the standard.
If Aokawa couldn't solve this problem, then he would have Shirakumo Hayama infiltrate the Kumogakure camp to deal with the hidden threat of Onigumo... In the forest.
Aokawa looked at the text that appeared, a smile surfacing on his face.
[Studying diligently and practicing unceasingly, your Konoha-ryu Kenjutsu has improved.]
[Konoha-ryu Kenjutsu has been promoted from Entry-Level to Practiced level.]
Finally mastered it. After Shirakumo Hayama agreed to teach him Konoha-ryu Kenjutsu two days ago.
