The Wood Release clone was a little confused. This was not what he had expected. The original body must have changed its mind. As a clone, all he could do was to improvise.

Mo Congfeng was in hesitation. He could not hide the sound of Yuriko's twitching nose. It was his mistake. Yuriko might have discovered the truth through the special sulfur smell on her body. Did she guess that Beiliuhu was dead and it was him, Congfengmo, who had been playing the role of Beiliuhu?

Should we solve this hidden danger here?

Mo Congfeng's left hand, which was holding Yuriko's neck, tightened slightly unconsciously, and Yuriko groaned in pain.

The people in the battle discovered that one member from each side had been captured, and they stopped tacitly and approached their leader.

Yuriko lowered her voice and said, "You are actually Lord Beiruhu, right?"

Mo Congfeng narrowed his eyes slightly. This was different from what he thought. He immediately ordered the three people, "Don't come over. Spread out and maintain a defensive formation. Be careful of Beiluhu's large-scale ninjutsu, especially the Senro Thunder Domain!"

Yuriko continued in a low voice, "In fact, Lord Hiruhu has killed Cong Fengmo, but he did not let Cong Fengmo disappear. Instead, he transformed into Cong Fengmo's appearance to make it easier for him to go deep into Konoha and prepare to defeat Konoha. Is that right, Lord Hiruhu?"

If Yuriko really guessed this, then there would be room for change and there would be no need for Yuriko to sacrifice herself here.

However, Mo Congfeng was unable to tell whether Yuriko's words were true or false, and wondered if this was a method she came up with in a panic in order to survive.

The human heart is the most unpredictable thing in the world. Mo Congfeng couldn't even communicate with his own Wood Release clone, and couldn't know for sure what was in the other person's mind, let alone others. Even if this person was in his hands now, life and death depended on his own thoughts.

Mo Congfeng relaxed his left hand that was tightly gripping the back of Yuriko's neck, so that she wouldn't be so nervous.

It is difficult for Mo Congfeng to make a judgment. The key to the problem is that Mo Congfeng does not know how well Yuriko knows Beiliuhu. Yuriko's understanding of Beiliuhu determines her judgment.

It is clear that Yuriko and Hiruhu had a relationship, and Yuriko was equivalent to Hiruhu's wife or concubine, but the time they spent together was not very long, only a few months at most, and Yuriko and Hiruhu were not alone together.

In terms of the time span, Mo Congfeng had known Yuriko for a longer time when he played Beiliuhu, and the image of Beiliuhu in her mind might have been formed during the time she played Beiliuhu.

The Wood Release Clone spoke at this time, "Let's exchange hostages! Release Yuriko, and I can give you a chance to live..."

Yuriko spoke softly, "Lord Hiruko, is this your plan?"

Mo Congfeng decided to put this matter aside for later. The Wood Release Clone would ensure that Yuriko would not leak the secret, so he said softly, "Yes, the captured Nara Shikaku is my target this time.

My identity is a secret, Yuriko, you are very smart and have guessed part of the truth, but you need to keep it secret, do you understand?"

Yuriko nodded gently, and Mo Congfeng was relieved. He responded loudly to the Wood Release clone, "Hirohu, you let my team go first, and I will stay here to play with you."

The Wood Release clone used the Magnetic Release to project Nara Shikaku towards Shina Touhiko like a cannonball. Shina Touhiko gently waved his folding fan, and a gentle breeze blew, catching Nara Shikaku.

Under the command of the Wood Release clone, the Kirigakure ninjas on the periphery opened a gap and let Shina Touhiko and the other four go.

Mo Congfeng stayed until the end, holding Yuriko as a hostage. After Shina Touhiko and the other four had gone far away, Mo Congfeng let go of Yuriko and quickly dived underwater.

The Wood Release clone followed closely behind, chasing after Mo Congfeng. When the Wood Release clone got close, Mo Congfeng saw that the Wood Release clone's face was full of confusion. What surprised Mo Congfeng even more was that the clone's performance was too vivid, it didn't look like a clone at all, it seemed like another living self.

It was a long time after this incident that Mo Congfeng finally understood that once a clone is released, if it is not released for a long time, the clone may gradually develop a new personality based on the memories and commands when it was originally created.

Of course, Mo Congfeng didn't have time to think about it. Facing the Wood Release clone, he just had a strong sense of disharmony. He immediately cancelled the Wood Release clone. At the moment of canceling the technique, Mo Congfeng even saw a trace of fear on the face of the Wood Release clone.

After releasing the Wood Release clone, Mo Congfeng obtained all of the Wood Release clone's memories during this period. Then Mo Congfeng created a new Wood Release clone and gave him about a quarter of his own chakra. This Wood Release clone felt much more coordinated.

The Wood Release clone quickly surfaced and together with the Kirigakure ninjas dealt with the three-tailed beast that remained here, and would also resolve Yuriko's issue.

Mo Congfeng left here and went to meet up with Shina Duyan and the other four who were leaving.

When Mo Congfeng showed up on the uninhabited island where Shina Touyan and the other three were temporarily staying, Kinoshita Ichiro was the first to come up to him and ask, "How are you? Are you not hurt?"

Mo Congfeng shook his head slightly and looked at Nara Shikaku who was still standing there in a daze, as if thinking about something.

Nara Shikaku noticed Mo Congfeng's gaze and responded, "I didn't expect that you made the same choice as Hatake Sakumo and gave up the mission to save your teammates.

It's just that I became Inuzuka Shigeo! Haha, now I understand Hatake Sakumo a little bit, and I also understand Inuzuka Shigeo a little bit."

Kinoshita Ichiro came over to help, "I also think that Captain Hatake Sakumo's choice was not wrong. Besides, this is not your fault. It was my fault that I was no match for the ninja on the other side. Captain Congfeng tried to save me, which led to your capture."

Mo Congfeng didn't care about the success or failure of the mission at all. He had no interest in the three-tailed beast, nor did he want Konoha to get it.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Mo Congfeng could ask Nara Shikaku for the details of Shimura Danzo's plan against Hatake Sakumo. Nara Shikaku should tell him Shimura Danzo's back-up plan, and he would be able to calmly formulate countermeasures.

It was worth it for Mo Congfeng to change the original plan. Nara Shikaku was not a ninja who would easily surrender. He had to put himself in a situation similar to Hatake Sakumo's, so that he could be moved, make him speak, and even pull him to his side.

Mo Congfeng sorted out his thoughts, "Nara Shikaku, tell me everything you know, everything about the conspiracy against Captain Hatake Sakumo!"

The other three were slightly stunned, but Nara Shikaku clearly understood the meaning of Mo Congfeng's words, "I did not participate in Danzo's plan, but they did not deliberately hide it from me. Part of what I said was my guess based on what I saw and heard, and it does not represent the entire truth.

All this is because Shimura Danzo wants to seek the position of the next Hokage, and the two existing candidates for Hokage have become his obstacles..."

What Nara Shikaku said was not much different from what Mo Congfeng guessed, but Mo Congfeng guessed wrong about Shimura Danzo's accomplice. Neither Nara Shikaku nor Orochimaru were involved. The remaining two disciples of Shimura Danzo were responsible for manipulating the entire incident.

Nara Shikaku finished his story quickly, but Mo Congfeng did not hear Shimura Danzo's subsequent plan, "What next? Is Shimura Danzo going to assassinate Captain Hatake Sakumo? Captain Hatake has been staying in the village. Who can do such a thing? Is it Shimura Danzo who will do it himself?"

Nara Shikaku shook his head, "That's not necessary. Lord Shimura Danzo will probably force Hatake Sakumo to commit suicide. This will be Hatake Sakumo's final fate. He will use his life to be responsible for his act of abandoning the mission."

Mo Congfeng was stunned. Suicide? Mo Congfeng subconsciously felt that this was impossible. Just because of a few trivial accusations from Inuzuka Shigeo and his people?

Nara Shikaku saw Mo Congfeng's expression of disbelief and said, "This is what I guessed based on the news I heard. No matter what, Hatake Sakumo is dead. The most fundamental reason is that his behavior is challenging the village system.

If all the ninjas in the village were like you, imitating Hatake Sakumo and giving up their missions for their teammates, how would the village survive?

The Konoha and Ninja Village system that the First Hokage had worked so hard to establish would probably collapse because of this. This is something that the village's top leaders absolutely cannot tolerate, and I'm afraid the Third Hokage would also mean the same thing.

Therefore, Hatake Sakumo's suicide is the best solution. He will use his life to tell all future ninjas that his ideas are wrong.

The correct path is that a ninja should sacrifice for the village and for the mission, not just sacrificing himself, but also sacrificing his teammates and precious people around him when necessary.

Captain Congfeng, you may think you are right, but your rash act of abandoning the mission will accelerate the death of Hatake Sakumo. Your behavior is telling the village that Hatake Sakumo's ideas, which are extremely poisonous to the village, are spreading rapidly, and the village will adopt a response strategy as quickly as possible.

So, I know all this, but I can only choose to ignore it. "

Mo Congfeng understood everything. Hatake Sakumo's suicide had become the best choice strategy for Konoha's top leaders. "But if the village is such a ninja village, then it should be destroyed.

The village should protect the ninjas living in it, and the ninjas will voluntarily sacrifice themselves to protect such an ideal village, instead of the current situation where the Konoha high-level officials who express the will of the village demand the ninjas to sacrifice themselves. "

Nara Shikaku smiled and said, “How do you know if Inuzuka Shigeo thought about sacrificing himself for the village and the mission at that time?

How do you know that I was unwilling to sacrifice myself just now to help you complete the task of capturing the three-tailed beast?

This is true for any group in the world, without exception. No one can tell whether the sacrifice was voluntary or not."

Mo Congfeng was furious. "This is what's so hateful about you ninjas. If you are willing to sacrifice, go ahead. But your teammates and the precious people around you are not your property. You have no right to sacrifice them."

Mo Congfeng felt that his head was confused by Nara Shikaku's words. He always felt that such a ninja village system would give rise to terrible and abominable things.

But there is no time to delay, Mo Congfeng must rush back to the village as soon as possible to prevent the tragedy that is about to happen to Hatake Sakumo!
