Konoha Family's Bones

This time the meeting between Minato and Sarutobi Hiruzen ended in vain. It was because the clues collected by the ANBU were limited and no useful information could be found.The two people fighting seemed to appear out of thin air and then disappear out of thin air, which was very strange.This also cast a shadow over Namikaze Minato, who was already worried.

Sarutobi Hiruzen left the Hokage Building and walked towards the Yuan Fei clan's residence. When he arrived at the door of his house, he happened to meet Jiraiya who had just returned to the village and came to look for him.

"Jiraiya, you're back." Seeing Jiraiya's dusty face, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his cigarette.Although he hasn't asked yet, he can already roughly guess the result. This time, tracking Orochimaru will be in vain.

Since Orochimaru rebelled against the village, Jiraiya has left the village several times in a row. Whether it is the Anbu elite or Jiraiya himself, the number of times he has been able to intercept Orochimaru during repeated missions can be counted on his fingers.Each time, he could only catch one of the other party's tails. After Jiraiya led people to rush over, the building was basically empty.

He opened the door and took Jiraiya into the house. As soon as the two sat down and before Sarutobi Hiruzen asked, Jiraiya told him about tracking down Orochimaru's whereabouts.This trip to the Kingdom of Water was basically just fetching water from a bamboo basket, with no important gains.

However, although Orochimaru was not found, Jiraiya did find out a lot about some of the overt and covert conflicts within the Kingdom of Water, which can be considered an unexpected surprise.

"So Qing, the staunch supporter of the Mizukage family, is dead? And Qing's Byakugan has also been lost?" Yuan Fei raised his eyebrows after taking a puff of cigarette.

"Yes, the situation in the Kingdom of Water is very chaotic now. Ao's unexpected death has made the struggle between the Mizukage family and the opposition forces more and more intense." Jiraiya picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. Pinduo was speechless for a moment.Sake is better, but this tea doesn't taste good. I really don't know why the old man likes it.

"That's fine. Although the Ninja War is over. But the other villages are still watching with eager eyes. If Kirigakure Village is in chaos, we can feel more relaxed. It's just a pity for that white eye."

After briefly chatting with Jiraiya about the situation in the Land of Water, Sarutobi Hiruzen brought the topic to Kushina, "Little Kushina is about to give birth, and the tailed beast seal is at its strongest during the birth." Weak. For the safety of the Jinchuuriki and for Minato, you'd better not leave the village in the next few months to avoid accidents."

"Okay." After hearing this, Jiraiya, as one of the few insiders of this matter, nodded to make it clear.It's just that Jiraiya still felt a little unwilling. Although he was in vain this time, Jiraiya had a hunch that Orochimaru should have been secretly observing him not far away from him!

……

At the same time, in the base of Konoha Root, Shimura Danzo was also listening to his subordinates' reports about this time's battle in Konoha Village.

When he heard his subordinates say that the place where the incident happened was near the Uchiha clan, Danzo Shimura frowned immediately, "It's the Uchiha clan again. I'm afraid this matter has something to do with the Uchiha clan. I don't know what they are going to do." What the hell. But I will definitely talk about this matter in the next elders meeting! We should be more careful about Uchiha!"

Throwing away the materials in his hand, Danzo Shimura changed the topic and asked about Orochimaru's movements, "Is there still no news about Orochimaru after so long?"

"Yes, Danzo-sama. However, my subordinates are stepping up their efforts to contact Orochimaru. Now that the village is chasing him urgently, Orochimaru has been wandering around and has no fixed place. It will be difficult to find him." Shanfeng knelt down below. Reporting on Orochimaru's situation, when he saw Shimura Danzo's increasingly ugly face, he quickly changed the subject, "But we have left secret marks in the areas where Orochimaru often moves. If he wants to ask for help, sooner or later Will take the initiative to contact us."

"Yes." After hearing that his people were already trying to contact Orochimaru, Shimura Danzo's face gradually became much better.

Why Danzo Shimura is so concerned about Orochimaru's traces is mainly because his experiment has reached a bottleneck, and the research on the first-generation cells has been completely unable to proceed.Without the information provided by Orochimaru, his laboratory would simply become a decoration.

This discovery made Danzo Shimura feel like he was in trouble, but there was nothing he could do.As for Kushina's birth, even though Danzo Shimura knew some of the situation, the specific time was not clear, but these were irrelevant to him, and Danzo didn't bother to pay attention.

Since Shimura Danzo lost the competition for the Fourth Hokage, he became more and more obsessed with the research on the cells of the First Hokage.Danzo knew that the cells of the First Hokage had great potential. Even though the First Hokage had been dead for decades, the tissues cultured from his cells still had extremely strong vitality.

And this achievement is reflected in Yamato, the only wood escape member of the root organization.

Yamato was accidentally discovered by Danzo in the laboratory of Orochimaru. Even Orochimaru himself thought that this experiment had failed.So when he defected, there was no rush to take Yamato with him, but he didn't expect to be caught by Shimura Danzo.

It was the presence of Yamato that made Danzo so confident in Orochimaru's experiment.

……

After repairing Uchiha Obito, Taketori Aoki also carefully observed the changes in the village for a period of time.In addition to the numerous adjustments made to the village's boundaries, there were also a lot more ninjas patrolling.

Apart from this, there was no extra action in Konoha Village. Through this, Aoki knew that the Fourth Hokage had not gotten any useful clues.It seemed that Obito Uchiha had done a very thorough job in running away, leaving no clues to Konoha Anbu at all.

The relieved Taketori Aoki resumed his daily life. In addition to teaching Itachi the shuriken technique every day, he also dabbled in physical skills.Of course, it wasn't just Uchiha Itachi, even Aoki on Kimimaro's side didn't favor one over the other.

Time passed like this day by day, and Aoki actively prepared for the night of Kyuubi.Of course, during this period, he also used the Flying Thunder God to visit the Land of Craftsmen and entrusted Tokugawa Nobuaki to forge a small ninja sword for him.

With the Flying Thunder God Kunai laid out along the way, it didn't take Aoki much time to go back and forth.

I had told Itachi before that I wanted to prepare a gift for the unborn Sasuke. If I didn't prepare it in advance now, it would be bad to just improvise and deal with it casually.At the same time, Taketori Aoki also had a detailed understanding of the current situation with Tokugawa Nobuaki, and Aoki secretly breathed a sigh of relief after learning that everything was normal.

It seems that Akatsuki will not do anything in the country of craftsmen for the time being.
