“Yuyan, pack up and return to the Anbu. Tell Kakashi that his team may be conscripted by me.

Guang, you also pack up and go to the Root. Gather the personnel. We need to be ready to move out at any time.”

After saying this, Shūzawa immediately ran towards the door.

He looked a little anxious on his face, but he was secretly overjoyed!

Finally, he could move around properly again.

“Tch, there are so many troublesome things.”

Tsunade didn't know what Shūzawa was thinking. She turned her head and glanced at Yuyan and Guang.

“You guys should hurry up too. Don't keep that kid waiting too long. I'm going to take a rest. It's really troublesome.”

“Okay, Teacher.”

Yuyan nodded immediately, but Guang didn't say anything at all, but everyone present was already used to it.

After Tsunade and the others left, Yuyan noticed that Guang seemed to be looking into her room all the time, which made her a little embarrassed.

“What's wrong? Aren't you going to prepare? It's your first mission. Don't be late.”

“Oh.”

Guang nodded, but she still looked back from time to time as she turned around, always feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

After a while, she suddenly thought of something.

“Hey, why do you have to change all your bedding again? I remember you've changed it several times?”

“…”

Yuyan was immediately a little embarrassed. She glanced at the room unnaturally, and then pretended to be calm and said softly.

“I drank milk in the morning and accidentally spilled it on the quilt, so I changed it. Isn't that normal?”

She couldn't possibly say that some bastard said it would be quick, and as a result, she foolishly believed it.

Yuyan didn't dare to think about it anymore. The more she thought about it, the more she wanted to strangle a certain bastard!

“Oh… but why does it smell so strange?”

“…”

“This doesn't smell like milk… why does it smell a bit… like honeysuckle?”

“…”

“Forget it, you're right. It's better not to be late for your first mission, otherwise that bastard Shūzawa will cause trouble again.”

Guang shook her head and walked towards her room. Only when the door was closed did Yuyan breathe a heavy sigh of relief.

“It seems that the situation is worse than we imagined, and I didn't expect Lord Danzō to actually…”

Inside the Hokage's office, Shūzawa immediately put on a 'grief-stricken' look on his face after listening to Hiruzen Sarutobi's story.

He seemed completely unprepared that Danzō would actually deceive him!

“We didn't expect things to turn out like this either…”

Hiruzen Sarutobi rubbed his brow. He was also in a very bad mood right now.

He witnessed Danzō defecting with the help of Orochimaru last night, and his head was buzzing.

At that time, he didn't understand why Danzō would choose to defect!

Because no matter how you looked at it, it wasn't a good choice, but he quickly realized something.

Damn it, that Danzō guy must have done more unknown things in secret. Shūzawa's investigation must have made him feel the crisis!

That's why he took the risk and decided to defect…

After confirming this idea in his mind, Hiruzen Sarutobi's fist also hardened.

If he could, he really didn't want to fight his old friend, but for the sake of the village, he had to make a decision!

And his old friend's head contained too many secrets about Konoha.

“Shūzawa, this time I hope you will take action. Danzō must not defect!”

“I understand, he knows too much.”

Shūzawa deliberately nodded with a gloomy face, which was considered a response, which immediately made the corners of Hiruzen Sarutobi's mouth twitch.

What a big killing intent…

But considering that Danzō had 'tricked' Shūzawa 'around and around', he felt that it was best not to say anything else.

And it's good to have killing intent!

If Danzō was unwilling to surrender and return, then he could only make the worst choice.

With this in mind, Hiruzen Sarutobi's face became solemn at this moment.

“Shūzawa, I fully appoint you as the commander-in-chief of this operation. You can mobilize some resources from the Root and Anbu to assist you.

At the same time, in order to prevent Danzō from having any backhands and leaving the Land of Fire, the border garrison can also be mobilized by you.

I only have one hope, to bring him back alive as much as possible, but if he stubbornly resists, you should act normally and never let him leave!”

“I understand, Lord Hokage!” Shūzawa nodded immediately: “Then, I'll go down and prepare first.”

“Time is of the essence, go quickly.”

“Yes.”

Shūzawa didn't waste any words. He quickly turned around and left the office, leaving only Hiruzen Sarutobi sitting there.

After a long while, he sighed faintly.

“Danzō, I hope this isn't our farewell…”

Land of Rain, the rain is still pouring.

Nagato sat by the window in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

Perhaps he was recalling what Shūzawa had said before, or perhaps he was thinking about Shūzawa's 'Sage Body', or perhaps he was thinking about Shūzawa's earth-shattering sword!

He had to admit that that guy Shūzawa really brought him too much to think about.

And these things, he seemed to never finish thinking about.

“Nagato!”

The sound of rain was pattering, and just as Nagato was contemplating, Konan's hurried voice suddenly sounded from outside the door.

“There's news, from that side.”

“Hmm?”

Nagato regained his senses with a slightly puzzled expression, his eyes instantly becoming clear. After setting up a soundproof barrier skillfully, he asked suspiciously.

“What does that guy want us to do again? Is it the Land of Rain, or the Akatsuki?”

“Both.”

Konan checked the barrier and then said in a low voice.

“He hopes that the Akatsuki can take action, and at the same time, the Land of Rain will also take action.”

“What do you mean? What's his plan again?”

“Well, according to him, he now wants to show his sincerity as a partner.”

Konan pursed her lips. She was a little annoyed now. Why did Shūzawa like to use the word 'sincerity' so much?

Couldn't he change it?

“What's wrong?”

Nagato seemed to see Konan's strangeness, but after thinking about it, he didn't ask further, but paid more attention to Shūzawa's 'sincerity'.

“What is his sincerity? To make the Land of Rain take action, I'm afraid things aren't that simple, right?”

“Hmm.”

Konan nodded, her expression also becoming serious.

“His 'sincerity' is divided into two aspects, one is for the Land of Rain, and the other is for us.”

“Oh? Tell me about it in detail.”

“Shimura Danzō, has defected.”

“!!!”

Konan just opened her mouth simply, but almost made Nagato stand up excitedly!

Shimura Danzō?

Defected?

Although he didn't know what had happened, he was very clear about one thing. Without the protection of Konoha, they could take action against Shimura Danzō!

Nagato would never forget Yahiko, who died under his kunai in that rain, and he would never forget the people who forced them to kill each other.

Hanzō is gone, now it's Danzō's turn!

“Tell me the specific situation, how does he want us to cooperate?”

Nagato took a few deep breaths, suppressing his excited mood, and asked in a low voice.

“Also, how should the Land of Rain come forward to cooperate with him?”

“According to what he said, the things we exposed have made it difficult for Danzō to move in Konoha.”

Konan was also very excited in her heart, but she still restrained her emotions and said in a low voice.

“He also took the opportunity to pretend to be Orochimaru to deceive Danzō, and induced Danzō to believe that he had no foothold in Konoha, and might even be judged!

Therefore, Danzō decided to take the risk, leave Konoha, and… join our Akatsuki…”

“…”

Hearing this, Nagato's face suddenly froze.

What do you mean?

Use our name to deceive Danzō?

Danzō is coming to the Akatsuki?

“Shūzawa knows our identities, so he should have made some concealment. The outside world is not sure that we are the leaders of the Akatsuki.”

Looking at Nagato's appearance, Konan couldn't help but explain.

“And with Obito Uchiha and Orochimaru, coupled with Danzō being desperate, this decision is not surprising.”

“Then what should we do?”

Although Nagato wanted to curse, he eventually gave up. As long as he could kill Danzō, everything would be easy to say!

“Cooperate with his fake Orochimaru, meet Danzō and then find a chance to kill Danzō?”

“No, he told us to stand by, because he said that this operation would be very big, but he guaranteed that he would definitely kill Danzō.”

Konan shook her head. She actually felt that it was the same. As long as she could kill Danzō, everything would be easy to say!

“Moreover, Shūzawa also said that Danzō is only a part, and the other part is to prepare to connect the Land of Rain.

To deepen mutual cooperation, and at the same time help the Land of Rain obtain more funds, and even provide some jobs for the residents of the Land of Rain.

I don't know exactly what he plans, but he also said that the Land of Rain standing on Konoha's side will greatly gain Konoha's favor.

Fighting against the Akatsuki can show our determination and will allow Konoha to provide more assistance to us.”

“Is that so?”

Nagato nodded. Although he couldn't figure out Shūzawa's intentions, as the 'Sage Body', he was willing to believe him in his heart.

Besides, after several contacts, other than the period when they were completely hostile, the others were still good.

At least Shūzawa made him realize a lot of things and made him understand a lot of principles. Nagato remembered this in his heart.

“Then let's cooperate with him well, but pay attention to safety. He said that this operation seems to be a bit big. What do you think he's planning?”

“Perhaps, Shūzawa is worried that Danzō's defection has already been known to other villages.”
