On the night of the Nine-Tails, I shattered the Tailed Beast Ball with a single punch.

To be Captain Nagasawa's disciple, he must be exceptional. Moreover, he's a genius personally acknowledged by Kakashi. Shisui has high hopes for him.

“I’ll tell you where he usually trains, it’s right here…” Kakashi said with a smile.

Chapter 121 Just a Passerby

In the afternoon, Itachi waited quietly by the river for Kabuto to arrive.

Today is a holiday, and there are no classes at the ninja academy. They had agreed to train together during the holiday.

"Hello, why are you sitting here in a daze?" A girl wearing a purple sleeveless coat saw Itachi sitting alone by the river and walked up to him out of curiosity.

Itachi glanced at the girl in purple indifferently, then turned his gaze back to the calm river surface.

He's not very good at talking to strangers, especially people his own age.

Uchiha Izumi was stunned; she had actually been ignored.

She came up to us because she saw Itachi wearing clothes with the Uchiha clan crest and knew he was from the same clan as her.

"What's your name? My name is Uchiha Izumi, and we're from the same clan." Uchiha Izumi didn't give up and continued to chat with a smile.

She thought he must be a withdrawn child, and no one wanted to play with him, so he was so bored that he sat alone by the river in a daze.

She happened to have a good initial impression of Itachi (his good looks were a plus), so she wanted to help this withdrawn child and play with him.

Itachi turned to look at Uchiha Izumi, somewhat surprised that he had encountered a fellow clansman. After a moment's thought, Itachi spoke:

"Uchiha Itachi".

"Itachi? Why does that name sound familiar?"

Uchiha Izumi felt like she had heard the name Uchiha Itachi somewhere before, but she couldn't quite place it.

"By the way, Itachi, why did you go to the river alone? Let's go back to the clan together and find some people to play ninja games with."

Uchiha Izumi couldn't remember anything, so she simply stopped thinking about it and invited Itachi instead.

"I need to train..." Itachi said after a moment of silence.

Actually, he was just wondering what a ninja game was. Was it about dressing up as a real ninja and fighting?

"Eh!" Uchiha Izumi looked at Itachi with some surprise, clearly taken aback by Itachi's answer.

This was the first time she had been turned down an invitation using the excuse of "I need to cultivate."

"What training? I feel like Itachi, you might be a very powerful person," Uchiha Izumi pressed.

“Ninjutsu, shuriken…” Itachi replied.

He felt that this clansman was different from the Uchiha clansmen he usually encountered; he seemed overly enthusiastic.

"Ninjutsu! Itachi, you can already use ninjutsu?" Uchiha Izumi's eyes widened slightly, even more surprised than before.

Has she encountered a genius from her clan?

Itachi nodded without saying a word.

"Wow, Itachi, you're amazing!" Uchiha Izumi exclaimed.

Itachi's expression remained unchanged; a stranger's praise did not stir any emotion within him.

Uchiha Izumi looked at the sky, then waved goodbye to Uchiha and said, "Itachi, I'm leaving now. I'll come find you another day."

She had made plans to hang out with someone today, and she was going to be late if she didn't go soon. She originally wanted to bring Itachi along, but Itachi didn't want to go, so she couldn't force him.

Itachi waved politely in return.

Just then, Kabuto walked over and stood next to Itachi.

Looking at Uchiha Izumi's retreating figure, Kabuto asked, "Is that your friend?"

Itachi shook his head and said, "No, he was just a strange passerby."

Itachi's words reminded Kabuto of Hyuga Hanayo, who was also quite strange, always saying some inexplicable odd things.

However, Kabuto could sense that Hyuga Hanayo's intentions were good, and he was kind-hearted, but he was prone to misjudging his strength and was also a bit naive.

Therefore, he did not dislike Hinata Hanayo.

Kabuto and Itachi chatted briefly about some interesting things that happened during his time at the Ninja Academy, and then they began their training.

……

……

night.

Wearing a mask, Yi walked through the Dark Side base.

His current identity is that of an ordinary member of the Dark Side, not a member of Root, so he can move freely within the Dark Side.

Within the Anbu base, Hiruzen Sarutobi's Anbu occupied approximately three-quarters of the space, while the Fourth Generation Anbu occupied only one-quarter.

In terms of overall layout, the fourth-generation Dark Division is located in the southwest of the Dark Division base.

However, since the Fourth Generation Anbu may be expanding recently, Tsubasa heard some news that the Fourth Generation Anbu may have its own independent base instead of being mixed up with the Third Generation Anbu.

This made Tsubasa a little anxious. If the Fourth Generation Anbu moved to an independent base, it would be much more difficult to steal the Rokushiki data.

Therefore, he decided to take action today and give it a try first, otherwise the mission would basically be a failure once the fourth generation of the Anbu left.

Wearing the mask and uniform of the Anbu, Tsubasa walked openly into the position of the Fourth Anbu.

Since it's a clandestine base, it's impossible to set up any barriers or anything like that inside, otherwise it would become a clandestine base within a clandestine base.

Because it was nighttime, the dark areas appeared particularly deserted.

The few fourth-generation ANBU members they encountered on patrol were mostly fooled by Tsubasa.

After all, no one would have imagined that the Third Anbu would have any ideas about the Fourth Anbu.

The location of the fourth generation of the Anbu didn't have a confidential data room; those were all with the third generation of the Anbu.

As they went deeper, Yi became more and more cautious.

He knew very little about the training team, only that their six techniques were very practical.

Finally, Tsubasa arrived at a door with a sign that read "Captain's Office".

Yi quietly pushed open the door and saw Nagasawa looking at him.

The two stared at each other for a second, and Yi's mind raced as he tried to figure out how to get out of it.

Nagasawa also looked at the third-generation ANBU with great interest.

He is a shadow clone.

To guard against unforeseen circumstances, Yongze usually leaves shadow clones in two places.

One was the ANBU's office, and the other was Tsunade's office.

However, Tsunade withdrew after she took over as the head of the medical ninja project, while the Anbu side kept a shadow clone.

He couldn't recall a mask like that of the fourth generation of the Anbu; it could only be the third generation's.

"Lord Nagasawa, the Third Hokage sent me to retrieve some recent mission data," Tsubasa quickly explained.

"Heh, retrieving data, huh? But do you have to be so careful when retrieving data? And at this late hour, the Third Boss is really prescient, guessing that I would be working overtime?" Nagasawa sneered.

They're trying to fool us, asking us to provide information.

Yi quickly pulled out a kunai coated with deadly poison from his ninja tool pouch and slashed it directly at his neck.

Now that he's been discovered, there's absolutely no way he can escape.

This is deep within the territory of the Fourth Generation Anbu, and there are many more Fourth Generation Anbu members outside. There's really no way to escape.

Moreover, setting aside the other fourth-generation Anbu members, Tsubasa wasn't confident even with Nagasawa in front of him.

Can someone who becomes the captain of a training team be considered to have exceptional skills?

The captain of the training team is equivalent to the leader of the root.

With no hope of escape or victory, Tsubasa chose to commit suicide to avoid exposing the information.

Chapter 122 Danzo's Exposure

Perhaps Tsubasa would have succeeded against an ordinary ninja, but unfortunately, he was facing Nagasawa.

Nagasawa's powerful Conqueror's Haki suddenly swept towards Tsubasa, and Tsubasa's movements stopped instantly.

In that brief pause, Yongze swiftly moved, flashing in front of Yi and knocking the poisoned dagger away.

At the same time, a finger gun carrying powerful lightning descended upon Wing.

Zizizi!

Crackle!

Countless bolts of electricity coursed across Wing's body, and the excruciating pain that tore at his flesh caused even Wing, who had undergone Root training, to let out a scream.

After screaming, Yi collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud.

At this moment, Yi had fainted from the immense pain.

The loud sound of the lightning attack, along with the screams, quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding ANBU (Anbu).

Many fourth-generation ANBU members quickly arrived.

"Captain Nagasawa, what happened?" The arriving ANBU members asked Nagasawa after seeing the scene.

Nagasawa instructed one of the ANBU to examine the unconscious Tsubasa's body, and then said:

"I'm not entirely sure either, but this guy dressed as an undercover agent was planning to steal the training team's secrets, but he didn't expect me to be in the office."

The Anbu inspected the ninja and found nothing unusual about him; he only had ordinary ninja tools.

The secret service quickly reported, "Captain Nagasawa, there are no suspicious items on the other party."

Yongze thought for a moment and said, "Pull his tongue out and take a look."

The ANBU pried open Yi's mouth and forcefully pulled out his tongue. After the tongue was pulled out, everyone could clearly see the black mark on it.

"Alright, I know what's going on now," Yongze laughed, instantly understanding everything after seeing the curse mark on the tongue.
