I, Uchiha: Split Konoha

Chapter 64 Double Agent Kakashi (Please continue reading)

root.

On the dark bridge of the Root base, Danzo Shimura's old face surprisingly showed a smile upon seeing Kakashi's arrival. However, when Kakashi knelt down on one knee and respectfully reported his mission information, Danzo was first astonished and then revealed a smug look.

"I see. The Third Hokage ostensibly relieved you of your duties in the Anbu, but actually wanted you to join the Seventh Division of the Police Department to conduct an investigation. His advantage was your Sharingan and the special nature of the Seventh Division!"

At this moment, Danzo smiled, inwardly mocking the Third Hokage for being too clever for his own good. Today, he had finally won against this old monkey.

"Kakashi, the Uchiha clan is inherently evil, and it's an undeniable fact that the Nine-Tails is controlled by the Sharingan. I hope you can infiltrate the police department for the sake of Konoha!"

It must be said that Shimura Danzo was quick-witted; he instantly figured out how to maximize his profits.

If Kakashi continues to conceal his relationship with him and infiltrate the police department, it will only benefit him. First, he will have another pair of eyes in the Uchiha clan. Moreover, with the Sharingan, Kakashi is more likely to investigate Uchiha information than others.

Secondly, Kakashi is still nominally under the Third Hokage's command, but in reality, he has already sided with him.

It can be said that he obtained a double agent without lifting a finger. The Uchiha Police Department gained another spy, and the Third Hokage's subordinates also gained another spy.

This time, it was as if he had already placed himself in the position of the player, and Shimura Danzo immediately showed a satisfied smile.

When Kakashi Hatake lowered his head, he revealed one of his three-tomoe Sharingan eyes. Now, his eyes were filled with determination. He was determined to find out the truth of what happened back then and whether the Third Hokage was really trying to regain power.

"Yes, sir Danzo!"

Kakashi is currently the third head of the Anbu, but in reality, he is a member of Root. On the surface, he is also going to join the police department. This kind of multi-party espionage is extremely dangerous, but at this moment, he is indifferent. His own life and death may no longer be that important to him.

The Hokage's office.

The Third Hokage, pipe dangling from his lips and exhaling acrid smoke, calmly listened to the report from his subordinates and said, "You mean Kakashi went to Root last night?"

At this moment, an ANBU member was kneeling on one knee in the office and respectfully reported in a deep voice: "Yes, Hokage-sama, this evening Kakashi encountered Lord Danzo in front of the memorial stone. Kakashi then sneaked into Root at night. Because it was Root, I did not dare to go too far."

Upon hearing the report from the Anbu, the Third Hokage's eyes gleamed, and he said in a deep voice, "Alright, let's pretend this never happened. Just observe what Kakashi has been doing lately. Your perception is excellent, but don't be rash, especially when Kakashi comes to the Anbu again. Keep a close eye on what information he's looking for."

"Yes!" the Anbu replied respectfully, while the Third Hokage revealed a confident smile of complete control. Danzo, Danzo, do you really think you're the one holding the game? I am the one. You're still too green.

This member of the Anbu has the best sensory abilities, which is why he is confident in keeping an eye on Kakashi.

"Danzo, Danzo, isn't your confidence based on just a few things?"

At this moment, the Third Hokage revealed a relaxed smile. Although Danzo was troublesome, as long as he was under his watchful eye, there was nothing he couldn't handle.

Danzo's attempt to win over Kakashi is nothing more than using a few specific tactics to attack him. All he needs to do is secretly investigate what information Kakashi is gathering, and then he will have a countermeasure.

A counter-espionage plot!

The most ingenious counter-espionage tactic is not for them to persuade the other party, but for the person involved to personally investigate the truth, and of course, the truth that he wants the other party to see.

The Third Hokage smiled. Kakashi was truly a sharp blade, a weapon of the Police Department and Root! He couldn't help but laugh as he thought of this.

At this point, Kakashi was unaware that he had become a pawn in a power struggle among various parties, and even Uchiha Yoru was unaware that Kakashi would attract so much attention.

After news of his battle with Kakashi that night inexplicably spread, Uchiha Yoru is now considered a genius ninja who can rival the genius ninja Kakashi in Konoha.

Now, Uchiha Yoru's position as a squad leader in the police department is legitimate, and he has gained recognition from others in every aspect, including his strength.

Nanga Shrine.

"Clan leader, elders, many people have joined the Seventh Division recently, including Kakashi Hatake and Guy."

At this moment, Uchiha Yoru spoke calmly about his Seventh Division of the Police Department, without the slightest hint of arrogance, which was what pleased the clan leader and elders.

When Kakashi and Might Guy joined the police department, everyone thought that Might Guy joined for the sake of his good friend Kakashi.

Fugaku Uchiha's usually stern face showed a hint of relief as he nodded and said, "Yoru, although the Seventh Police Division has now established its power, you still need to be careful. The Seventh Division is now exposed to everyone, and there are countless people from various factions within it."

"Especially Might Guy and Kakashi, who have just joined us, you need to do your best to win them over, but at the same time be wary of them, since Kakashi came from the Anbu."

The entire Hidden Leaf Village knew of the genius ninja Kakashi Hatake, and even Fugaku Uchiha had to acknowledge his talent.

Elder Setsuna, who was standing to the side, nodded solemnly upon hearing this. "Kakashi Hatake may be a spy from the Anbu, or he may genuinely be recovering from the trauma of war. But you must know his surname."

At this point, Elder Setsuna lowered his head slightly, making it impossible to see his expression. "The Hatake surname has not faded yet, and the White Fang's influence remains. As long as you can control Kakashi, the White Fang's influence will turn towards Orochimaru."

"Moreover, the Uchiha clan and Hatake had a relationship back then, otherwise how could this Sharingan have fallen into Hatake Kakashi's hands so easily and unharmed?"

As Elder Setsuna recounted the story, Uchiha Yoru's expression turned solemn. He hadn't expected there to be such a connection—that the Uchiha clan and the Hatake clan had a past relationship.

He even secretly observed the elder in front of him, wondering if he, like the Uchiha, had bet on Hatake back then.

Seemingly noticing Uchiha Yoru's gaze, Elder Setsuna shook his head and said, "You don't need to overthink it. You can't imagine the power of White Fang back then. Even Sarutobi at his peak couldn't stop White Fang's momentum. Back then, White Fang proved with his strength that he was the next Hokage. Not only the Uchiha clan, but countless powerful families in the village had already extended olive branches to him."

White Fang, a legendary ninja from the same era as the Sannin, was also someone who surpassed them. Back then, when the Third Hokage had not yet made any mistakes and resigned, he was almost the successor to the next Hokage. The title of legendary ninja is not an exaggeration at all.

Even Fugaku Uchiha, who was standing to the side, sighed with emotion. No one had expected that such a ninja would meet his end in this way.

There are so many big names competing with me at the same time, sob sob! It's so competitive, brothers, please don't support me on Monday and Tuesday, just give me your support. It'll be better after it's released.
