Starting from Konoha's exile

"You brat, why are you using ninjutsu on me? I almost couldn't stop you. Didn't you go to Konoha to follow the crazy boss? Are you on an outing mission? By the way, after talking for a long time, what is your name?"

Kakuzu frowned and said, he originally wanted to sneak into the village to finish his job and then go home, but he met an acquaintance on the way.

"Mr. Kakuzu, I am Xiao Ming. I...I am indeed on a mission." Xiao Ming thought for a while, and that was correct.

"Well, okay. You can continue your mission. I have important matters to attend to. This time I came out in secret. Be sure not to leak the news that I came to the Land of Fire." Kakuzu said and turned around to leave.

"Director Kakuzu, you always sneak out to earn bounties..."

"Young man, I used to be very optimistic about you, but why is your road getting narrower and narrower? Is it possible that... you still want to get a share of my bounty? You are trying to steal something from the tiger's mouth." Kakuzu speculated. Said quizzically.

"No, no." Xiao Ming waved his hand and said with some embarrassment: "I don't dare to pluck the hair from Iron Rooster. I just hope you can show me the way. I haven't been in Konoha for a long time and I'm not very familiar with the road. Hehe. hey-hey……"

"Now that I think about it, you are that stupid road idiot who doesn't see anyone for ten days and a half when he gets lost." Kakuzu suddenly realized.

"To trouble you..."

The corners of his map were about to cross, and when he was about to start writing, he rolled his eyes, drew a few marks in the opposite direction, and said: "Follow this road, and then follow these marks to return." Konoha."

Of course, not only was Kakuzu drawn in the opposite direction, but he was also pointing in the wrong direction.

"Thank you, Director Kakuzu. I won't waste your time. I'll take my leave." I'll report to Shinga-sama when I get back.

"You're welcome, see you later." When you arrive at the company branch, someone will naturally take you home.

The two guys with their own evil intentions said goodbye.

The next day, the Hokage Building.

"According to the information from the secret agent, it's not that a large number of assassins have sneaked into the Land of Fire with the goal of assassinating Danzo. Why haven't there been any traces of the teams lurking everywhere so far?"

Sarutobi put down the information in his hand and asked the two old guys he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Is the intelligence reliable?" Mito Kadoyan asked after looking at the intelligence.

"Absolutely reliable, there is no doubt about it." Sarutobi affirmed.

"That's strange. According to the intelligence, there will be at least ten bounty hunters showing up today. If one or two of them delayed their appearance and didn't show up, it would be a bit confusing. It's hard to believe that they all acted in unison. Already?" Xiaochun said with a frown as he turned to bed.

"Impossible. When these lone wolves meet together, they will kill each other more and will never form a gang." Sarutobi rejected the idea of ​​sleeping with Koharu.

"Then we can only be more vigilant first, Danzo..." Mito Kadoyan said.

"Hmph, don't mention him! That's what caused... Ahem, as for what big trouble he got into, you can try asking him. Even now, he still doesn't want to say a word to me. To tell the truth, this is really unreasonable!”

There were ANBU ninjas on duty in the room. Although they, as Sarutobi's hard-core guards, had known the true situation for a long time, Sarutobi did not want to openly say these things in front of them.

After Sarutobi explained a few more words to the two advisors, the two of them said goodbye to Sarutobi and went to Danzo to try to communicate.

"How many times do I have to tell you that I haven't done anything in recent times! Why doesn't anyone believe me? I just want to do something, but I look like I'm powerless now!"

Danzo was half lying on the bed, patting the mattress vigorously and swearing.

When a bad guy who often does bad things is occasionally wronged, the reaction is often more violent.

"Danzo, don't get excited. Don't we believe you? I just want you to think about it carefully. If you have any information worth referring to, Xiaochun and I can help you think about it and find out who it is. I want to harm you." Mito Monobu held Danzo's arm and comforted him.

"I told you, it's not... wrong!" Danzo suddenly seemed to have recalled something, squinting his eyes and slowly said: "I have been secretly acquiring information about Uchiha's true self some time ago, but suddenly midway Someone also started to buy the real me’s information at a high price, and they bought it out. I secretly competed with that person for a while, but in the end, because the financial chain was broken, I had no choice but to stop. I was stumped... It was the real self directing and acting. ? But it doesn’t seem to make sense.”

Mito Kadoyan and Koharu, who had gone to bed, looked at each other, then said goodbye to Danzo and returned to the Hokage Building.

"It's that guy Danzo who is secretly raising the price with me. It's really..." Sarutobi slapped the cigarette pot on the table and was so angry that he couldn't speak.

The two consultants also felt helpless when they heard this. The two of them unknowingly regarded each other as rivals.

Alas, what a pity the money was.

Sarutobi also realized that letting Danzo go out was equivalent to cutting off his limbs, so it was better to find a suitable opportunity to let him come back. But suddenly his mind went into a trance, and Sarutobi felt that something was wrong.

"Call Kakashi to come!"

"Yes! Hokage-sama."

Not long after, Kakashi arrived at the Hokage's office. After being called to his side by Sarutobi, he whispered a few words and then hurried away.

"Sarutobi, do you have any clues?" Mito Monohan asked.

"I hope it's not what I imagined." Sarutobi shook his head and sighed.

After all, Sarutobi was still an old man, and based on just a piece of information given by Danzo, he set his sights on the right clue.

The second consultant saw that Sarutobi's face was extremely ugly, so he stepped aside and said nothing.

The three of them waited in silence for about an hour. Kakashi hurried back with a dusty face and his face was a little pale. It was obvious that he was a ninja running at extreme speed.

"This is recent information about the intelligence agency."

Kakashi's tone also sounded a little worried. He had screened all this information one by one. If he had not figured out the connection between this and the assassination of Danzo, he would not be worthy of being called Kakashi.

Sarutobi closed his eyes tightly after reading it, but his wildly beating eyelids showed that he could no longer suppress his excitement at this moment.

The front foot was still thinking about how to bring Danzo back, but the back foot immediately extinguished this idea and possibility.

Comeback? I'm afraid it will be a direct transition to retirement.

After being manipulated by these two old brothers, all the shadow villages suffered a huge loss. Although they have no excuse to target Konoha, launching a war will not gain support. Instead, it will make the village chiefs look stupid.

But no matter what, we need to give an explanation to the village, right? Therefore, Danzo was a perfect excuse for their stupid behavior.

"Pass my order to block the news of Danzo's assassination in the village. In addition, the teams carrying out the ambush mission will continue to stand by and do not relax until I cancel the order. Five more hidden stakes will be added to the place where Danzo is recuperating!"

Danzo, this is all I can do. Don't blame me for being ruthless. If you do, blame it on fate.

As soon as the ninja who conveyed the order left, another ninja came to report the situation.

"Reporting to Lord Hokage, the ninja group from Cloud Shadow Village who came to discuss the border friction last month suddenly went on a rampage and injured people on the grounds that their companions were killed. Now they have all fled out of Konoha Village, but their escape route happened to pass through the group. The place where Master Zang cultivates secretly.”

Oops! Forget about these brainless muscle sticks in Cloud Shadow Village!

"All the ANBU ninjas on standby are coming with me. Kakashi, you must immediately gather people for support."

Sarutobi said, taking off his Hokage robe and throwing it on the ground, and was the first to rush out of the door.
