I'm in Konoha, and I have ten skill slots.

This isn't about combat, but rather how to handle problems encountered during routine missions.

But after knocking for a long time, no one answered from inside the room.

Masano was a little confused. Shigure should be at home at this time!

Moreover, having just completed his mission, Shigure should be taking a well-deserved rest.

"What's this kid up to?"

Masano thought for a moment and prepared to go back, leaving a note on the door asking Shigure to come find him the next day.

However, the next day, Masano waited until noon but Shigure still did not come to find him.

He became anxious and rushed to Shiyu's door, but there was still no response when he knocked again.

Masano arrived at Hayate's house, which was not far away. "Hayate, did Shigure go home yesterday?"

Upon hearing this, Jifeng paused for a moment. "It seems I haven't heard any noise. Didn't he just finish a mission? He should be resting at home by now!"

"no one!"

"What? No one's speaking?"

As a ninja, Hayate could still sense if the door of the Shigure family opened, even from a distance of just a few steps.

He didn't notice that Shiyu's door had been open, and thought that Shiyu had been resting at home all along!

The two arrived at Shiyu's house and broke down the door.

No one touched the note on the door.

This means that Shigure never came back.

There was no one around for more than a day; it's impossible that Shiyu went out to play for so long without coming home.

"Shigure... is gone!"

Zheng Ye's face immediately turned rather ugly. "I should have broken down the door and come in to check on things yesterday!"

Hayate patted him on the shoulder. "Uncle Masano, now is not the time to blame yourself. We need to find Shigure immediately. He just returned from a mission and disappeared, and he disappeared in Konoha no less... This is probably not simple..."

Chapter 94 The Blunder and Danzo's Frustration

Kakashi lay on a bench in Konoha Park, his face covered with the book "Make-Out Paradise".

They were taking a leisurely afternoon nap.

Suddenly someone used the teleportation technique to get close.

Kakashi sat up abruptly, and stared blankly at the person in front of him. "Moonlight... Hayate?"

"What are you..."

Jifeng looked up, his face covered in sweat. "Kakashi-senpai, Shigure... Gekko Shigure is missing?"

"what?"

Kakashi was confused. What did this guy say?

gone!

How could a living person suddenly disappear?

"It's true, Shigure hasn't been home for over a day, and there's no sign of him in Konoha Village!"

It was precisely because he couldn't find Shigure that Hayate Gekko thought of seeking Kakashi's help, since Kakashi was Shigure's Jonin instructor.

"Not in Konoha? Have you been looking for them seriously?"

We can't just ignore this after not seeing each other for more than a day!

Moreover, Shigure possesses astonishing talent; if he were captured by another village, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Although such a situation is highly unlikely, since these are people from other villages in Konoha, it's unthinkable to kidnap someone from Konoha without anyone noticing.

"Search carefully again, don't miss any corner of Konoha, and notify the Anbu ninjas for help!"

Relying solely on Hayate Moonlight's power to search the entire Hidden Leaf Village in Chapter 573 would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

Meanwhile, Kakashi planned to visit Naruto and Sasuke, hoping they might have news about Shigure.

However, after Kakashi found Naruto and Sasuke respectively, neither of them had any news about Shigure.

But after learning that Shigure was missing, the two of them joined the search team to help find her.

Kakashi continued to ask other ninjas of the same age as Shigure.

Hinata, Ino, and the others were all questioned, but there were still no clues.

Meanwhile, the Anbu also began searching for Shigure in Konoha, but found no trace of him.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was certainly aware of the Anbu's deployment.

He summoned Kakashi.

"Has Shigure still not been found?"

Kakashi shook his head. "I asked many ninjas of Shigure's age, but they didn't have any clues either. The only possibility now is that Shigure left Konoha on his own!"

"Leave Konoha?"

Why leave Konoha when you have nothing to do with it?

The Third Hokage's expression shifted several times, then he looked at Kakashi and said, "Then let's search outside the village. We must find Shigure today!"

"Deploy all the Anbu ninjas."

The Third Hokage is now only worried about one thing: Shigure has no reason to leave Konoha, so there is only one possibility.

Either Danzo will take action, or it will be other villages.

Between the two possibilities, the Third Hokage believed that Danzo was more likely to take action.

After Kakashi left, Hiruzen left the office and went through a secret passage under the Hokage Building to the Root organization's base.

Danzo, who was dealing with his own problems, had no idea why Hiruzen had suddenly come to him.

"It's rare that you've actually stepped into the darkness!"

Upon seeing the dough, he immediately began mocking Hiruzen.

However, Hiruzen didn't have time to argue with Danzo. Instead, he stared coldly at Danzo and asked, "What did you do, Danzo?"

Danzo was momentarily stunned by those words.

"What do you mean by this, Sarutobi?"

Seeing the evasive look in Danzo's eyes as he answered the question, Hiruzen was certain that Danzo had done something behind his back.

It seems that Shigure's disappearance is inextricably linked to this old man.

"Danzo, I usually let you do whatever you want, but you need to know when to stop!"

Upon hearing this, Danzo's gaze immediately turned even colder.

"Sarutobi, since you already know, let's be frank! The true Hokage of Konoha should be me!"

Just as Hiruzen was about to ask Danzo where Shigure was, he suddenly heard Danzo say this.

Hiruzen paused for a moment.

What does it mean?

Did this guy kidnap Shigure to become Hokage?

Danzo had been eyeing the Hokage position for quite some time, and Sarutobi certainly knew this, but what did that have to do with him taking Shigure away?

Just as Hiruzen was about to question Danzo further, a Root ninja suddenly appeared.

"Reporting to Lord Danzo, a terrifying chakra fluctuation has been detected outside the village!"

A terrifying surge of chakra?

Are they enemies?

Hiruzen glared at Danzo fiercely. "I'll settle accounts with you after I've dealt with this matter. You'd better not touch him!"

Watching Hiruzen storm off, Danzo was bewildered. "Don't touch him?"

Whom should we target?

Should we move Yamato?

And how did this guy find out about his collaboration with Orochimaru? Did Orochimaru betray him?

Impossible. How could Orochimaru possibly betray Hiruzen?

What was Hiruzen asking just now?

Danzo turned to the Root ninja beside him and asked, "Has anything major happened in Konoha today?"

"Reporting to Lord Danzo, nothing major has happened, but it seems that Gekko Shigure has disappeared!"

Moonlight Rain?

So Hiruzen was asking about that kid of his just now!
