Skadi, returning to infinity

"Isn't she worried that you might be colluding with [Akatsuki]? That's really interesting."

The man who had been facing away from her turned around and looked at her with his left eye, which was not bandaged, his gaze extremely cold.

This person is Danzo Shimura, the leader of the "Root" organization, a guy with an extremely dark and deep mind.

"This shouldn't have anything to do with you."

It's unwise to provoke the other party, but it's even worse to let them control you.

If it were the original Skadi with a corrupted heart, she might have chosen a gentler approach, but Skadi, having absorbed the memories of the strongest former Agent, is completely different.

Understand how to play this game.

What she needs to do now is find the right way to play and solve these problems.

"Hehehe..." Shimura Danzo chuckled coldly upon hearing her words.

He then slowly turned around and whispered, "Make your move."

Skadi was prepared; the moment the other party spoke, she charged directly at a Root member.

"Boom!" The seemingly soft fist sent the person flying the moment it hit them.

Unfortunately, the person's body was knocked away and turned into a piece of wood in mid-air, so her attack only landed on the substitution jutsu.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~" Several kunai flew towards her, blocking all her movement range.

Unable to retreat, Skadi could only fix her gaze on Shimura Danzo, slamming her legs into the ground and charging towards him.

"madness."

Several members of the Root organization appeared behind Danzo Shimura. One used Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique on Skadi, and another used Lightning Release: Thunderclap to knock her down.

Forced to retreat.

"Did you send me here to kill me?"

If Skadi had a greatsword, she was confident she could fight her way out of here.

But she has no weapons now. Although she can still win in a direct fight with these people, it's uncertain whether she can get out of there afterwards.

Therefore, after a tentative exchange, she chose to stop and let her opponent reveal his purpose.

"Be my eyes, watch over Tsunade."

Danzo Shimura turned to Skadi and revealed his purpose.

What if I don't agree?

Skadi knew very well what kind of person Shimura Danzo was, and that whether she agreed or refused, it wouldn't do her any good.

Office.

"The moment you step out of this building, you will become a rogue ninja of Konoha."

"You can give it a try." Shimura Danzo smiled contemptuously, said no more, and left.

"...Then I'd like to see if it's true."

Several thoughts raced through her mind; agreeing was impossible. After all, becoming a rogue ninja wasn't something Danzo could just say, and Tsunade, as the Hokage, couldn't refuse.

If that's the case, then she can't possibly be a traitorous ninja. Since he's going to do this, I'll see what he does in the end.

Judging from his expression, he doesn't want to negotiate; he's forcing me to make a choice.

If she becomes a rogue ninja for other reasons, it might affect her future actions.

However, if she is falsely accused of being a rogue ninja because of Shimura Danzo's orders, then she has unlimited room to maneuver.

Having made her decision, Skadi left without looking back, ignoring the gazes of the many Root members.

The sound of her high-heeled boots clicking on the wooden stairs was loud, just like her resolute determination.

"Spread the word: Konoha Jonin Skadi has defected."

If Skadi agrees, he can plant a pawn next to Tsunade.

If they don't agree, he can take the opportunity to eliminate one of Tsunade's trusted Jonin.

From any perspective, he has advantages, and Skadi has virtually no other choice.

"Eh..."

As Skadi stepped outside, she looked at the afterglow of the setting sun and couldn't help but sigh.

“Miss Skadi, as a Konoha Jonin, deserting without permission is a very serious matter.”

"Are you really sure?" The male ninja who brought Skadi here asked, sitting on the ledge.

"I will return, and I will return with glory."

She gave a smile, but her sigh was fake; her purpose was to make the other person feel that she was currently powerless to control her own destiny.

This will make it easier for her to clear her name later, and she won't have to put in too much effort.

"By the way, you can't capture me without Kakashi and Guy coming."

"So if you don't want to waste your energy, let them do it."

Skadi had barely finished speaking when she was forced back by several kunai.

She didn't retaliate, but jumped onto the roof and ran towards the outside of Konoha Village.

"Konoha Jonin Skadi has defected."

The news spread throughout Konoha the moment Skadi left.

Kakashi and Tsunade, who were discussing something, froze on the spot, and then both realized that something was wrong.

This is very strange.

"Lady Tsunade, Skadi has defected."

Yamato took off his mask and walked in from outside, looking at Tsunade and Kakashi.

"Did she say anything before she left?" Tsunade had already roughly guessed the reason.

What we need to know most now is what crucial information Skadi left behind.

“Miss Skadi said…”

"Unless Kakashi and Guy are mobilized, we won't be able to catch her."

Yamato repeated Skadi's words and then stood there.

"I understand."

Tsunade is so clever; she and Kakashi instantly understood Skadi's meaning.

"Kakashi, you, Guy, and Yamato, you form a Skadi team and bring Skadi back."

They issued the order directly, without giving them time to prepare.

When she said "bring Skadi back," it meant that she didn't think Skadi was a rogue ninja, but rather that she had left the village for other reasons.

"Yes." Kakashi accepted the order without saying anything and then left.

He needs to find Matt Kee and get things moving as soon as possible.

P.S.: Please give me some recommendation votes. I really need your support during the new book period. Thank you everyone.

Chapter Four: A Beauty Emerging from the Bath

"You have to find me."

Skadi stood under the tree where she had chatted with Kakashi earlier, turning back to gaze at Konoha Village.

She didn't have any emotional attachment to this place; if it weren't for the mission requiring her to protect it, she would have already caused a huge scene.

However, the most important thing right now is not that I have become a rogue ninja.

The real question is how to find Jiraiya.

Skadi carved a picture of Amegakure (the village of Rain Ninja) under that tree, and then continued on her way.

Not long after she left, Kakashi, Might Guy, and the Yamato trio arrived at her location. p6ny

“There are traces.” Kakashi, the group leader, walked over to the tree and touched the Rain Village pattern carved on it.

"We're going to Amegakure." Without explaining anything, they continued running forward.

"Hey Kakashi, let's have a contest this time and see who can catch Skadi."

It seems that Might Guy has found a place where he can compete with Kakashi.

He followed Kakashi, flashing a bright white smile, and spoke enthusiastically.

"We'll talk about it when we get there."

Kakashi usually takes a rather carefree approach to unimportant tasks.

But he took this mission extremely seriously.

"So you're agreeing? The loser has to run 100 laps around Konoha!"

Not refusing meant agreeing, and Matt Kai didn't mind at all, placing his bet on his own.

"Kakashi, don't you suspect something's fishy about this?"

Yamato was to Kakashi's left, and at this moment, he finally asked.

“You know better than I do.” Kakashi glanced at him, said this, and then didn’t reply.

"Is that so..." Yamato's voice was very soft; he couldn't answer.

Skadi wasn't slow, but she definitely sensed someone chasing after her.

She doesn't know ninjutsu; she's only able to move so quickly because of her strong physique.

But the ninjas' ninjutsu allowed them to close the distance between themselves and the ninjas very quickly, thus catching up with her step by step.

Skadi wasn't sure if her message had been delivered, and she was even less certain whether the people who had come after her were actually communicable.
