"will... will Advisor Gojo be alright?"

"Why hasn't there been any movement for so long?"

Neji Hyuga was worried.

If something happened to Advisor Gojo on his watch, the Hokage would surely hold him accountable. The resulting negative public opinion could even engulf him and the Hyuga clan.

He wouldn't be able to escape the blame for such a grave dereliction of duty.

Neji Hyuga was deeply concerned about Advisor Gojo's solo action.

However, rank had its privileges. For now, they could only maintain a perimeter around the area and wait patiently.

After all, Advisor Gojo was only a Chunin. How could he dare face such a powerful ninja? Even he, a Jonin with the Byakugan, couldn't subdue the opponent.

Judging from the chakra he'd observed with his Byakugan, the opponent was definitely an elite Jonin.

"Just trust him. If he needs reinforcements, Advisor Gojo will signal us immediately."

"I hope so."

"Movement!"

Someone shouted, and all the ninjas' gazes snapped towards the edge of the forest.

They saw-

Advisor Gojo, accompanied by none other than the "intruder," previously identified as an elite Jonin. The intruder wore a jet-black cloak that concealed their form, a strange mask hiding their face, as they walked beside Advisor Gojo.

From their gait and the subtle movements of the cloak, the intruder appeared to be a kunoichi.

Had she taken Advisor Gojo hostage?!

This thought wasn't exclusive to Neji Hyuga. The surrounding Konoha patrol ninjas tightened their grips on their kunai, the atmosphere growing tense.

Clap clap

Amidst the tension, Gojo Kaigetsu clapped his hands, the sharp sound echoing through the forest.

"Alright, alright, the danger is gone. Everyone can stand down."

"This..."

The ninjas exchanged confused glances. Neji Hyuga cautiously inquired, "Advisor Gojo, may I ask who this is beside you?"

"Her? She's..." Gojo Kaigetsu paused, then said slowly, "A secret ninja."

"Huh? A secret ninja? That doesn't seem right, Advisor."

Neji Hyuga instinctively glanced at Fugaku Uchiha.

Wasn't it said that the secret ninja had persecuted the Uchiha clan and even captured Advisor Gojo before? Moreover, weren't the secret ninja part of Root? Why would they be dressed like this and walking openly beside Advisor Gojo?

As one of the two prominent clans in Konoha, Neji Hyuga naturally knew that the "secret ninja" in the rumors were Root, led by Elder Danzo.

"Oh, I misremembered. She's a member of the Shadow Guard."

"A Shadow Guard member? But the Shadow Guard members announced at the Hokage Tower two days ago were Raido Namiashi, Genma Shiranui, and Iwashi Tatami. This one is clearly a woman."

Gojo Kaigetsu's previously amiable and approachable expression suddenly darkened. His face became stern.

"Enough! I gave you an explanation as a courtesy, so you can write your mission report. If you really need a reason, are ten thousand enough for you?"
