Konoha Village.

Inside the Hokage office building.

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen was knocking out the ashes from his pipe, his face solemn.

In front of him, an Anbu ninja was half-kneeling on the ground.

Not long ago, news came from the ninjas in the Northwest Frontier Fortress.

It was said that smoke was spotted rising from the direction of Kusagakure Village, and it was suspected that a large-scale battle had taken place.

After receiving the information, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not hesitate at all.

Jiraiya was sent to lead a team to the Kusagakure Village to gather information.

"I don't know what happened to Danzo. I hope it's not what I thought..."

Muttering quietly, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, looking a little melancholy.

The Kusagakure Village is a ninja village that maintains friendly relations with the Konoha Village. I don't know if this was done by Danzo.

Normally, it would be fine for Danzo to attack the various tribes in the village.

There's nothing wrong with going to the Hidden Mist Village to cause trouble. After all, the other party did have several minor frictions with the Konoha Village.

But if Danzo attacked the friendly neighboring village, the Kusagakure Village, without his permission, it would be something Sarutobi Hiruzen could not tolerate.

Once evidence is left behind, it will be discovered by other ninja villages, and the reputation of Konoha Village will be ruined.

From now on, who would dare to be friendly with Konoha Village?

But now, if it is really Danzo who is attacking the Kusagakure Village, it is obviously too late to stop him.

You know, what I am receiving now is the news sent from the fortress in the morning.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen did not have too much knowledge about the fighting power of the Root, he could make a rough guess.

"Immediately send ten ANBU teams to Kusagakure Village to check the situation. If they find Danzo..."

After a little hesitation, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally made up his mind.

"If you discover Danzo, you must obey his orders unconditionally and fully cooperate with his actions!"

"Do you understand?"

Thinking of the conversation with Danzo that night, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally decided that if this incident was really caused by Danzo, he would cooperate with him fully.

As long as all the witnesses are killed, no one will know that it was done by the ninjas from Konoha Village.

After all, the dead can't talk, can they?

"As ordered!"

The Anbu ninja was shocked by Sarutobi Hiruzen's order, but he obeyed it without hesitation.

Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Xuebeng was in his own yard, guiding his son Uchiha Fugaku in his training.

Acutely aware of the Anbu ninjas moving around on the rooftop.

"Fugaku, stop practicing for now."

"Huh...what's wrong? Father."

He stopped Uchiha Fugaku who was about to retrieve the shuriken from the target.

"Nothing, I want to go back inside."

"Okay, I'll help you."

Uchiha looked at Uchiha Fugaku, who was full of confusion, and did not explain anything. He just asked the other party to help him back into the house.

At the same time, Nara Shikaichi and Uchiha Sanbengzi, who were chatting in the lobby of the police force, obviously noticed this situation.

Uchiha Sanbengzi calmly held the broom, silently changed his position and continued to busy himself with his own things.

Why panic? Even if the sky falls, there are still tall people to hold it up.

"Do you want to be so calm?"

"What else? It's none of my business. I only have one eye left, why should I worry so much?"

Without even looking up, he gave Narashika a few words, and Uchiha Sanbengzi scratched under his feet with a broom.

"Master Lu, your wife must have beaten you again last night."

"Ahem, don't you dare talk nonsense, it's not true."

"The slap mark is still on his face."

"...I'm Chao! You? Why didn't you say so earlier!"

Nara Shikaichi was panicked and hurriedly took out a small mirror from somewhere, pinched his chin and looked left and right.

Uchiha Sanbengzi stopped sweeping the floor, sighed helplessly and shook his head, looking at the direction where many Anbu ninjas disappeared, a trace of solemnity flashed across his face.

"I don't know what happened. So many Anbu ninjas were sent out..."

"Perhaps, it has something to do with Jiraiya who was sent out not long ago."

"Hmm? What secrets does Master Lu Yi know?"

"Oh, who was the one who said that we should worry about something? Let's go, sweep your floor~"

Putting down the small mirror, Nara Shikaichi saw Uchiha Sanbengzi staring in a daze in the direction where the Anbu ninja disappeared. He walked up to him, patted his shoulder, and said half-jokingly and easily.

"Tsk~ If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. And you're still saying 'sweep your floor'... eh."

Uchiha Sanbengzi rolled his eyes and imitated Nara Shikaichi's tone.

"Hahahaha, you kid."

Although they seemed to be joking on the surface, they were actually both carrying their own concerns.

Soon, the patriarchs of the major ninja clans in Konoha Village summoned their own ninjas in the village almost at the same time.

Only ordinary civilian ninjas and villagers were still wandering on the streets.

This is the power of the major families. They can always get the news at the first time through various means.

After all, the Anbu directly under the Hokage are also talents selected from the major ninja clans.

In contrast, they will be able to grasp the movements of the Hokage and various wind directions at the first moment.

As for Danzo's roots...

After all, he is not the original owner, Danzo, and as a time traveler, he cannot be so ruthless. Apart from marking the two Uchiha sisters with the Mark of Extinction of Tongue, he has not imposed the Mark on other members of the Root.

Of course, this seal was also regarded by the two sisters as a special, cough cough, exclusive seal, and Danzo did not use the seal on the two sisters to do anything else bad.

The main thing about the roots now is extremely strict management, which uses modern military management, with obedience to orders being the main focus.

Only in this way, over a long period of time, will this ideology be engraved into the hearts of the root ninjas and take root.

This is why Danzo led the operation in secret and didn't want the village to know, so the village had no information at all.

As long as Sarutobi Hiruzen found the slightest sign of trouble, all the major ninja clans would know everything right away while lying in their own homes.

After a period of trekking.

Danzo and the others successfully reached and reunited at Kannabi Bridge before the sun completely set.

Since it took some time to collect the spoils, the team led by Danzo was the last to arrive at the destination.

As soon as he stopped, Danzo saw Orochimaru and the red-haired girl holding his hand.

The red-haired girl's face is highly consistent with the red-haired girl wearing glasses in her memory.

Uzumaki Karin? No, that's not right. The timing is wrong. It can't be her.

But this is too similar, is she Uzumaki Karin's mother? Yes, it should be that unfortunate woman.

There would be no one else except her, but I didn't expect that she would be taken away by Orochimaru.

This is a good thing, as it avoids the tragic ending of her being bitten to death by the Kusagakure ninjas.
