Chapter 302 Hunter in the Dark

Looking at the shy and blushing Shisui, the man in black robe thought that it would be a bit rude to go over like this, but a good cook cannot cook without rice.

He had no choice but to take off his own robe and put it on Shisui's nearly naked body.

"This is all we can do for now, just make do with it."

Shisui nodded helplessly, stretched out his hand to tighten the black robe around him, looked down again, and saw that everything that should be blocked was blocked, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Shisui checking himself so carefully, the black-robed man smiled and said behind his mask.

"Don't worry, who cares about your two taels of meat? You are as thin as a bamboo pole, no one will care."

Hearing this, Shisui looked up and said seriously, "I care!"

After saying this, the man in black robe shrugged, then walked away, motioning for Shisui to follow.

"This was the former base of the Anbu, and was temporarily requisitioned as a test site for the secret guards. It is located underground."

The man in black robe walked along the route with ease and familiarity as he spoke, as if he was explaining things specifically to Shisui.

"You must follow closely, otherwise you will get lost."

Upon hearing this, Shisui silently quickened his pace again, from walking to jogging.

"You are now a candidate for the secret guard, so I will take this opportunity to tell you about our duties."

Shisui behind him immediately pricked up his ears, like an antenna, ready to receive everything the black-robed man said.

"I think you should know that the Dark Guard was established on the basis of the original Anbu."

Shisui nodded. After the ceremony, the news spread quickly throughout the ninja world. After careful investigation, he guessed that someone was behind this. As for who this person was...

Shisui couldn't help but look at the leader of the secret guards, and thought of him involuntarily in his heart.

"The original Anbu was responsible for gathering intelligence and conducting undercover operations, but now that Konoha is unified, there is no longer such a need."

"But this does not mean that the Anbu is useless. Some of the original Anbu members were assigned to the Military Department, and the other part entered the Dark Guard after strict screening."

After that, he paused and asked, "Do you know why His Majesty still set up secret guards?"

Faced with the sudden question, Shisui remained calm and did not speak immediately. Instead, he calmed down and thought carefully before speaking.

"Your Majesty wants to limit the power of officials and put a yoke on those adults."

"The secret guards are like hunters waiting in the dark night. They can effectively supervise them and restrain their behavior."

clap clap-

"No wonder His Majesty passed your review. The title of genius is indeed worthy of its name." Surprise flashed in the eyes of the man in black robe. He couldn't help but applaud and praised him highly.

“I am ashamed of myself in terms of political acumen.”

"What you said accounts for the vast majority of the answer, and there is a small part that you did not say in full."

As he spoke, a cold light flashed in the eyes of the man in black robes, and he said in a low voice: "In the ninja world, it has been unified in name, but in the end there are still some stubborn people who are still resisting."

"And one of the duties of our secret guards is to eliminate these people."

"They are like ants, hiding deep underground. Although they cannot cause big waves, they are always a hidden danger."

"So, once we get the news, we will leave the village and kill them."

"Are you ready to have blood on your hands?"

This was the second time the man in black asked. The first time, Shisui did not hesitate, but would he do the same this time?

"I..." Shisui hesitated a little after he spoke. After all, he was only eight years old. At this age, he should still be in school, in the sunshine with his classmates.

Until now, he had never seen blood.

This reaction was normal. The man in black robe did not rush him, but waited quietly for his response.

However, this kind of waiting has a limit. From the moment you step out of the torture chamber, tests are everywhere.

A substitute secret guard is always a substitute, and whether he can be promoted to a regular guard remains to be discussed.

However, Shisui was one of the three great Uchiha heroes after all, so he took a deep breath and asked.

"Eliminate them all?"

The black-robed man narrowed his eyes, and his opinion of him dropped a level. He replied, "You can't bear it?"

Shisui nodded slowly, he really couldn't bear to do it.

Looking at Shisui's tangled expression, the man in black sighed, shook his head, and looked at him with disappointment: "Your Majesty gave them a chance, but unfortunately, they didn't cherish it."

After saying that, he turned and left, with an unconcealed look in his eyes as he left. Shisui gave a bitter smile, how could he, who was a very sensitive person, not understand the meaning of that last look.

He was afraid that his position as a substitute for the secret guard was in danger, but he did not regret it. Some things had to be answered.

For the rest of the journey, the man in black robe said nothing, like a walking sculpture.

After a while, they finally walked out of the underground and returned to the surface.

Facing the setting sun that had just risen on the horizon, the man in black robe said calmly: "Follow."

Then, he leaped up as agile as a rabbit and moved back and forth on the tree.

Shisui wrapped his black cloak tightly and followed behind him. On the way, morning breeze appeared from time to time, blowing the cloak and rolling it up, forcing Shisui to slow down.

After a while, they arrived in front of a secret passage in the palace. The man in black robe said without turning his head, "This is a secret passage built in secret. Keep your mouth shut. The consequences of leaking the secret will be very serious."

After hearing this, Shisui nodded immediately.

Then the man in black robe reached out and touched it a few times. With a slight sound, a passage opened.

After walking through a long corridor, they finally entered the palace and arrived outside the gate of the bedroom where Kaede Hoshino lived.

Looking at the door in front of him, Shisui couldn't help but become nervous, his fingers restlessly pinching the corner of his clothes.

The man in black knocked gently a few times, and after getting a response, he brought Shisui in.

At this moment, Xingye Feng was biting the tip of his pen with a distressed look on his face as he reviewed the accumulated documents.

"Your Majesty, Uchiha Shisui is here." The man in black robe knelt on one knee and spoke respectfully.

Seeing this, Shisui, who was standing by, also started to imitate him.

"Okay, got it. Go and do your own thing." Xingye Feng responded, and then there was no further sound. There was only the sound of the pen tip rubbing against the paper.

The man in black robe glanced at Shisui, then stood up and left, closing the door.

Shisui looked at Hoshino Kaede who was concentrating on processing documents, and was a little at a loss for a moment, remaining kneeling on one knee without moving.

The sound of pens continued in the bedroom. After finishing the last document, Hoshino Kaede let out a breath and looked at Shisui's outfit in surprise.

"Your dress is quite unique."

Shisui's face flushed slightly, his lips trembled, but he couldn't speak.

"Haha, don't be nervous. I called you here just to talk to you."

"Regarding your joining the Dark Guard, Cang Yu reported your performance to me before you came."

"To be honest, you don't have to work so hard." Xingye Feng said, his eyes becoming serious.
