-------------- In Konoha - Hokage office ---------------------
"Does your Anbu still have no information about the location of your student, Danzo?" Koharu asks with a mocking tone.
An important meeting was held by the Third Hokage, Danzo, Koharu, and Homura in the evening, as they were alerted by an intelligence report of a potential terrorist attack by an unknown organization in the Land of Fire within the next two days.
As soon as the meeting began, an Anbu arrived bearing two sealed scrolls and presented them to the Third Hokage. The Hokage quickly examined the first scroll before turning his attention to the second. Upon inspecting the seal on the second scroll, the Hokage was taken aback and hastily opened it, while Danzo, Koharu, and Homura waited patiently for him to finish.
Danzo nodded and said, "Indeed, he is quite adept at least."
The third Hokage, "he is in Kisaragi village."
Danzo, Koharu, and Homura were surprised and looked at the third Hokage. Looking at them the third Hokage handed the scroll in his hand to Danzo and said, "For you."
Danzo glances at the scroll and looks at the third Hokage; then slowly takes it into his hand. He looks at the seal and is surprised; it is Hirata's Anbu seal. He opens the scroll and reads. Meanwhile, Homura glances at the third Hokage, "what is the meaning of this, Hiruzen? Don't you know only Hokage can read Anbu scrolls?"
The third Hokage shakes his head, "this is only an exception."
Koharu looks at Danzo. Danzo's face is brightened, his lips are curved slightly and his face is filled with pride. Meanwhile, the third Hokage looks at another scroll. After a minute of reading, he puts down the scroll and looks at Danzo, who is reading the scroll. He also looks at Koharu, and Homura waiting impatiently for the third Hokage.
"There are some movements in Kisaragi village, maybe by tomorrow there will be a terrorist attack. Looking at the report, the scale of this attack is the entire Kisaragi village. If no reinforcements were sent, the entire village would be history by tomorrow."
Koharu, Homura, and Danzo; who read Hirata's scroll a few times; become serious. Then the third Hokage continues, "But there is good news, we have more accurate information on an unknown organization and their plan of attack on Kisaragi village."
Koharu asked eagerly, "So, what is this information?"
The third Hokage laughed, "You have to ask Danzo about this because this information is collected by his praised student."
Koharu and Homura are shocked to learn that the most critical information is collected by Hirata Senju, whose current whereabouts are unknown. If this information is sent by Hirata, Hirata has already infiltrated their premises to obtain the formation. Compared to Anbu working hard to obtain information on this unknown terrorist organization, Hirata is ahead of them. Of course, this doesn't mean that other Anbu were not working instead their workload of protecting villages and villages while trying to infiltrate the organization is akin to walking on the sharp edge of a knife and this shows Hirata Senju's talents in infiltration missions.
Danzo looked at Koharu and Homura, "this scroll says, the organization on hierarchy. Everyone has their number to identify. Each level of the hierarchy is identified by the number of digits in their number. For example, start with single digits, then double digits, and then triple digits. The fewer digits you have, the higher your level in an organization. For now, this organization works for others called "higher-ups". There seem to be some people in the organization against working with higher-ups."
Danzo continued, "He also sent us the list of people involved in this conspiracy. All of them were assassination targets to complete this mission." Then Danzo showed the scroll to Koharu and Homura. They looked through the names on Hirata's hit list to complete this mission. Of course, they already knew who was involved in this conspiracy against the land of fire. Nearly ten people were listed on the hit list and all of them were working with political groups plotting against the village.
Danzo continued Hirata's words from the scroll, "Tonight, all officials were gathering since tomorrow is the day their dreams come true. So, Hirata mentioned he is planning to assassinate them tonight and he is asking for troops to intercept the terrorists before they cause chaos."
Listening to Hirata's report, all of them were surprised by his abilities at twelve years old. In their minds, they want to see Hirata's future achievements as he grows.
The third Hokage signaled and an Anbu appeared, "report to the commander to gather all available Shinobi in the village to go on an emergency mission right now."
The masked Anbu said, "Yes, Hokage-sama" and then disappeared.
----------------------- Near Kisaragi village - the hideout —---------------------
"Number 212 reports sir, all preparations were completed."
A masked figure nodded with satisfaction and laughed, "This is the beginning of our organization's terrorizing of the shinobi nations and trampling them. We built our world to rule this whole world."
In unison, all the numbers said, "For the future of Yamaguchi."
Looking at everyone applauding, the unknown masked number nodded with satisfaction. He said to his inner self, "Tomorrow when the sun comes over the village. This village will become history. I want to see who will stop Yamaguchi after tomorrow, hahaha..."
--------------------------------------
At 10:00 pm near the village head mansion, several Anbu hid in the dark while watching the activities in the mansion.
A scroll with a seal was passed from Konoha headquarters to another person. "Captain, we received a scroll from Konoha headquarters." The captain took it, unsealed it with a hand seal, and opened it. As he looked at it, he took a deep breath and looked around to see that everyone was waiting for their captain to speak.
He looked at everyone and said, "A group of Shinobi will arrive tomorrow morning. We are ordered to watch and wait until reinforcements arrive. If any unexpected situation arises, the commander orders to take action and hold it until reinforcements arrive."
All other Anbu nodded their heads and returned to their positions to continue with their tasks. After twenty minutes or so, the captain received a note.
"Captain, an unidentified masked man dressed in clothes similar to that of an unknown terrorist organization is approaching the main gate."
Listening to it, the captain was shocked and left his place and arrived at the front gate of the mansion. Captain arrived in ten seconds and looked at the main gate to witness the reality of the report.
The sleek, five-foot-tall man stood ten feet away from outside the main gate of the village head mansion. Two guards were guarding the main gate, standing on both sides of the gate. The party has already started inside and everyone on my hit list is present.
The captain was surprised to find a boy around twelve years old outside the main gate of the village head mansion. He looked at another Anbu, "do you know about anybody that looks like a twelve-year-old boy in a terrorist organization?"
The other Anbu shakes his head as he doesn't know about such a boy being part of a terrorist organization. Captain looks at the boy; this boy looked at the mansion for some time and then began walking towards the gate step by step.
Five steps from the main gate, the guards guarding it looked at the boy. Being night, vision is reduced, but still, the guards guarding the main gate were slack, that's why the guards only find him when he is only five steps away from the gate. Captain looked at the black-clothed boy intensively to determine who he was and what he planned to do.
His figure blurred and disappeared as guards signaled him to stop. Then two black-clothed figures with the same persona appeared before both of them. The two personas vanish again and a single black-clothed boy appears in between them, in front of the main gate.
The entire thing happened in a second; both guards were silent and didn't move at all. Then blood gushed out of their throats revealing a bloody hole. A second later, both guards fell to the ground and dead.
The black-clothed boy again disappeared in front of the gate and appeared behind the main gate and slowly disappeared into the night darkness.
When the captain first saw the flickering of the black-clothed figure, he was shocked. But when the second time the boy flicked in front of the gate and appeared behind the gate, the captain got a sense of it; "body flicker jutsu".
Anbu's captain looked at Anbu next to him and asked, "The black-clothed boy used "Body flicker jutsu". So he must be from Konoha. Do you know which team he belongs to?"
Anbu shook his head but after thinking for a while, he said to the captain, "but I can think of someone that matches him."
Captain looked at him surprisingly and asks, "Who is it?"
"Sir, he doesn't belong to any team. But, he is on a mission, given by Danzo-sama. His trainee number is 101318 and the code name for this project is "Newbie". As he is missing, we have no new information other than the information we have received from headquarters. He is extremely skilled at body flicker jutsu and shadow clone jutsu."
"It seems he has been working undercover for quite some time now and is also skilled at stealth. Make sure all members are on standby to deal with any situation that may arise. They shouldn't escape this time at any cost."
"Yes, captain." Anbu nodded and left.
The captain of Anbu also walked towards the mansion. He jumped over the main gate and entered the mansion. He looked around to find guards but all he found were dead bodies. Soon ten Anbu appeared behind the captain. He didn't even look at them and just said seriously, "Examine the bodies first." If any of them were alive, silence them."
"Yes, captain" everyone disappeared. Captain entered the mansion and walked slowly towards the party venue. In a few steps, he found something amiss; an entire mansion was in deadly silence. Captain walked slowly toward the hall as he was on high alert. As he moved closer and closer his senses were screaming danger. Standing in front of large hall doors, he tried to hear any sounds from inside, but it was too quiet.
Five meters away from the captain, another door burst open and threw the broken pieces of the door onto the other side's glass window, destroying it as well. Through the broken glass wall, two black shadows were also thrown away among the dust. The first shadow is of an adult, who seems like escaping, and the second shadow is a smaller figure that matches a familiar persona, Hirata Senju, who looks like chasing the first shadow.
Captain looked at two shadows in surprise, and then hurriedly opened the venue door. He looked around for anyone alive but found eight dead bodies; killed in the same way as the guards had been killed.
He searched eight bodies but found no clues. Captain came out of the hall and moved towards the place, where the explosion happened. Anbu members appeared next to him.
Captain looked at them, "what is the report?"
"Captain, after examining the bodies, they were pierced by the same weapon at about the same time. If time is excluded then they were killed by the same person but if time is also included then they were killed at the same time."
Listening to the team report that matches the scene he saw in the hall, Anbu captain is shocked at the same time. It wasn't impossible to pull off this stunt, but he was shocked to see a twelve-year Anbu trainee excel at it with perfection and ease. The only factor that makes it easier for this Newbie is that everyone is a civilian.
But meeting with ninjas increases the difficulty level to a whole new level. Anbu captain is determined to help Hirata and gave orders.
"Half of the team searches the surroundings to find the enemy and eliminate them and the remaining members follow me to assist Newbie."
