The Otsutsuki Road from Kirigakure

The next day, when the first ray of sunlight shone into the Hidden Mist Village, Qingsi had already arrived at the Anbu headquarters.

In the barrier class, Qingsi was looking through the abnormal conditions of the barrier that they had recorded.

Although the perception barrier of the Hidden Mist Village is far inferior to the one set up by Uzumaki Mito himself in Konoha Village, when Seiji returned to the village last night, the abnormal spatial fluctuations caused by "Takamaga-hara" were still sensed and recorded by the barrier team.

"Let's unwatch this record. I will explain the relevant matters to Captain Ken and Lord Mizukage." Kiyoshi pointed to the abnormal record of last night and said to Fujiwara Heiji, the class leader of the barrier class.

"Yes, sir!" Fujiwara no Heiji followed suit. He had a deep understanding of the status of the current captain of the Shadow Guard who came from the Anbu, so he had no intention of objecting at all.

After dealing with the barrier record, Qingsi went to the minister's office to find the sword. Since he was back, he would first learn about the situation in the Bear Country and the Whirlpool Country before going back.

"Huh? Why are you back?" Jian asked in surprise in the minister's office.

"Something happened, so I came back for a while." Qingsi replied vaguely without any detailed explanation. Qingsi did not intend to expose his ability of time and space now.

"Hmm..." Jian didn't care too much about Qingsi's behavior. After all, Qingsi was no longer under his control and was even on the same level as him. After thinking for a moment, he said, "But it's good that you came back this time. I just happen to have some information to tell you."

As he spoke, Jian took out the interrogation record of Miki Kazuto and handed it to Qingsi.

Qingsi quickly glanced through it, "A spy from Konoha? The Hokage assisting Shimura Danzo..." The relevant information about the Nabekage quickly emerged in Qingsi's mind. This was a werewolf, a little more cruel, and not a good guy either.

“When you find that someone in this world has done something bad, but you can’t find who the murderer is, then yes, the murderer must be me!!!” From Shimura, Konoha’s Pot King, the 5.5th Hokage, the first Pot Kage, the founder of Kunai-stabbing Susanoo, Danzo.

This long list of titles of Shimura Danzo perfectly summarizes his life. Qingji has seen these many times in his previous life and remembers this sentence clearly.

"What do you think?" Jian asked when he saw Qingsi had finished reading the information.

"I think we can cooperate with this Shimura Danzo!" Qingsi gave his opinion. He remembered the information about the Whirlpool Country sent to him by the underground gold exchange last night, and one of the information caught his attention.

Intelligence personnel from the underground gold exchange discovered signs of activity by the Konoha Root, which is under the command of Danzo Shimura, in the Land of Whirlpools. In addition, Konoha had purchased a large amount of intelligence about the Land of Whirlpools and the Uzumaki clan from the underground gold exchange some time ago.

Kiyoshi, who knew Danzo well, immediately connected the two things together. He was very sure that Danzo Shimura's actions were carried out without the knowledge of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, and he must have had some ideas about the Uzumaki clan and their sealing techniques.

Qingsi's answer left Jian confused, but he did not refute it immediately. All the suggestions Qingsi made over the years were finally verified correctly. In addition, he knew Qingsi's character well, so although Jian was confused, he did not object.

"Let's go and see Lord Mizukage together." Qingsi smiled and invited Jian.

In the Mizukage's office, the Third Mizukage Bing stood with his hands behind his back in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, his back facing Qingsi and Jian.

"You mean...? Cooperating with the sinister ninja of Konoha?" As expected, the Third Mizukage Bing also had some doubts after hearing what Qingsi said, but he did not refute it either. He was ready to listen to Qingsi's explanation, "Tell me in detail."

"Danzo Shimura is the current assistant Hokage of Konoha Village, a disciple of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, and a teammate of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen. He once participated in the fight for the position of the Third Hokage, but failed. After the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen took office, he was assigned to set up a separate Anbu training department called 'Root' within the Anbu, which was responsible for eradicating all kinds of people or things that pose a threat to Konoha." Seiji first told Danzo Shimura's basic information.

"Go on!" Bing nodded. He also knew this information. As one of Konoha's high-ranking officials, Shimura Danzo's basic information was archived in all major ninja villages.

"According to the information we now know about Danzo Shimura, he is a tough man, ambitious, and extremely suspicious, cautious, and insidious." Seiji continued, and he began to analyze Danzo's character based on the intelligence.

Bing and Jian nodded, acknowledging Qingsi's analysis.

"When I was in the Land of Rain, I got the information by chance." Qingsi made up a random excuse for his information. After so many years, he believed that Bing would not delve into it. "Shimura Danzo has the same ideas about the Land of Whirlpools as we do. Now his roots should have several teams operating in the Land of Whirlpools."

Bing did not interrupt Qingsi's words. He really did not dwell on where Qingsi's information came from. After years of getting along with each other, he had long since accepted that everything Qingsi did was in the interests of Kirigakure.

"As the commander-in-chief of Konoha's Rain Country battlefield, there is no reason for him to send his Root to the Whirlpool Country, and a group of several teams, unless he has some ideas about the Whirlpool Country. However, we can't be sure whether he is after the people of the Uzumaki clan or the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan. Of course, judging from his personality, he is very likely to have the same idea as us, he wants both people and techniques!" Qingsi continued to analyze, "And with his strong ambition and desire for control, he must have done this without telling the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen!"

"Hmm... very accurate, what you said makes sense!" Bing thought for a while, put himself into the role of Shimura Danzo, simulated it, and found that things were very likely consistent with Qingsi's analysis.

"So, since our goals are the same, we might as well test Danzo Shimura and seek opportunities for cooperation. If we have the help of such an insider, then the reinforcements from Konoha will not be a concern at all." Kiyoshi concluded.

"Okay!" Bing agreed with Qingsi's opinion, "Sword, immediately send a message to Ying, and ask him to go to the Konoha camp as he just said and contact this Yami Ninja!"

After receiving the order, Jian quickly left to make the announcement. At this moment, Bing suddenly remembered something. "Oh, by the way, Xiao Qingsi, why did you suddenly come back?"

Hearing Bing's question, Qingsi hesitated slightly, but decided to tell the truth. After years of contact, he could feel that Bing was really good to him.

"Lord Mizukage, I have awakened a kind of eye technique that gives me the ability to control time and space." Qingsi said as he opened his pure eyes.

Bing's heart moved slightly. According to his perception, Qingsi, who had opened his pure eyes, had an aura that was no less powerful than his. Moreover, under the gaze of Qingsi's pure eyes, he instantly felt like he was seen through.

"Sky blue eyes!" Bing sighed, and then did not ask any more questions. He was not the kind of person who would delve into everything and would not stand for his subordinates to do well. "It seems that I can retire as soon as possible. If it is appropriate, after this Ninja World War is over, you will be the new Mizukage!"

Although Bing was curious about the fact that Kaguya's bloodline could also produce eye techniques, he had come from the Warring States Period and had experienced all kinds of strange things, so he didn't care too much.
