Madara, let's change the world together!

"Judging from your expression, you seem to have figured it out, Nono."

If you don't agree...

At this moment, the Root member wearing small sunglasses who had spoken earlier spoke again.

"This orphanage seems to be easy for thieves to break into."

"I advise you to hire a bodyguard to prevent your money from being stolen."

At this point, another member of Root, Orochimaru, added.

"Just a friendly reminder, be careful not to let the children get stolen too."

"After all, children with unknown identities still have some value."

!!!

"You're despicable! What kind of ninjas are you!"

The gray-haired middle-aged man couldn't help but shout.

"You're the ones who are being unreasonable!"

Danzo's ominous roar stunned the two people behind Nonou.

He slowly raised his head, revealing a left eye with a piercing gaze.

"This price is nothing compared to protecting Konoha!"

Nonou frowned and spoke in a calm voice.

"I understand."

Danzo looked at Nonou's seemingly indifferent face and spoke in a cold voice.

"It's precisely because you're not ruthless enough that this is the case."

"You really aren't suited for roots."

The gray-haired middle-aged man gritted his teeth and couldn't help but curse.

"brazen!"

Danzo ignored him and instead glanced at the wooden window next to him that was slightly ajar.

"Furthermore, many of my men died while working on intelligence!"

"I want to pick one child from here to fill the vacancy!"

Yakushi Nonou's expression immediately changed.

"Don't push your luck! I've already agreed to your request!"

"These are two different things."

"That's what the Root ninja wearing small sunglasses said."

"The Chamber of Commerce also needs to abide by the rules of Konoha. You wouldn't want the Chamber of Commerce to violate the rules and be forced to stop the aid funds, would you?"

"The aid money needs to be exchanged for a child!"

Danzo straightened up and lowered his hand that had been supporting his right eye bandage.

"After all, the children might very well ask to become Konoha ninjas."

"Let's ask."

"Maybe we can find one."

then

The following evening, Kabuto Yakushi left the orphanage and went to Danzo.

Why the hem?

Nono was utterly puzzled, her eyes filled with confusion.

Meanwhile, Orochimaru, standing behind Danzo, was looking at the tiny Kabuto Yakushi with an appreciative gaze and a faint smile on his lips.

The pharmacist turned around and smiled.

"I am suited to be a ninja, and I also want to learn medical ninjutsu properly."

However, Kabuto once said that he did not want to become a ninja, but only wanted to stay in the orphanage and help out in some way.

Feeling the puzzled looks from his companions and hearing their words of entreaty, Dou's smile carried a hint of bitterness.

"Have you all forgotten the rules of the orphanage?"

"It's time to go to bed."

Meanwhile, Kiyoi Gen was lying in Kazesa's arms with his eyes closed, while Aino nestled in his arms, looking blissful.

Kiyoi Gen was very satisfied to have witnessed this historically significant scene from the perspective of Aino's shadow clone.

It has to be said, Danzo's ability to create stars was incredibly strong.

The corruption and tragic events of many characters in the original work are related to him.

As expected of the first generation of director.

Well, it's also thanks to this "pot shadow" that he can accomplish many things without personally getting involved.

Based on this alone, I'll make sure you die a worthy death in the future!

Chapter 243 The Mysterious Water Kingdom

Not long after Danzo coerced Yakushi Nonou, Kiyoi Gen began to have the others prepare to return to Hatsuhi Castle.

Tsunade was very surprised, but it suited her perfectly.

She still has some friends in Hatsuri City, so she won't be bored even if Kiyoshi Gen isn't around.

This way, she wouldn't have to constantly worry about Kiyoi Gen doing something unexpected to Konoha.

After some preparation, everyone came to say goodbye to Kiyoshi Gen and the others.

"Red, you must continue your cultivation after this."

"Okay! Dad, remember to call me."

Yuhi Makoto's serious expression changed; he smiled and stroked his daughter's head, his eyes filled with relief.

His daughter was stronger than he had imagined, and since she had gone to the more peaceful City of First Sun, there shouldn't be any problems.

"Shinku, come to Sunrise Castle if you have the chance."

Kiyoshi Gen extended another invitation.

"Maybe."

"Yuan, please take good care of Hong."

"Don't worry, I'm still a teacher at Hong's school. This child is very hardworking and talented, and will be a good helper."

Kakashi, Rin, and Obito were all reluctant to part ways.

Among them, Obito secretly stood at the back and gave Kiyoi Gen a thumbs up.

He was a special operations agent appointed by Uncle Yuan, not even Kakashi.

This shows that in Yuan Shu's eyes, he is even more outstanding than Kakashi!

Hehehe~

Kushina and Minato also came to see him off. Kiyoi Gen nodded to the two of them and said...

"Xiao Ai is coming back with me this time too."

“Mikoto will take over her position as the branch president here.”

This is somewhat surprising.

Mikoto smiled at everyone.

This was agreed upon long ago; she would act as Kiyoshi Gen's representative here to handle certain matters.

Kiyoshi Gen has great faith in her, as her favorability and loyalty are both at their maximum.

She thus officially became a high-ranking member of the War Hall.

The Flying Thunder God Formation has already been entrusted to her for safekeeping, and she can go to the Moon World as she pleases.

Before parting, Kiyoi Gen glanced at Hatake Sakumo, who was dressed as Kenpachi Zaraki, and the other nodded knowingly.

He wouldn't do anything unnecessary; his last wish in life was to protect his son Kakashi as he grew up.

It can be said that Kakashi is currently quite satisfied with everything except for being somewhat obsessed with Gen Kiyoi's works.

After some more pleasantries, Kiyoi Gen, along with Kiyoi Ai, Kazesa, Tsunade, Shizune, and Kurenai Yuhi, embarked on their return journey.

There's no need to come to Konoha for the time being.

A month later.

After making thorough preparations, Yakushi Nonou arrived at the border of the Land of Water.

She held a picture of a pharmacist in her hand and put it in her small pocket.

To protect the orphanage, this heartbreakingly sensible child actually volunteered to join that dark and inhumane place.

She has to save this child!

No matter the cost.

"Madam, we are almost at the Land of Water."

Dressed in elegant attire, with her long blonde hair styled in a bun, Yakushi Nonou nodded.

Spies naturally need to disguise themselves as other identities.

According to intelligence provided by the Root organization, their personnel, regardless of their disguise when entering the Land of Water, will disappear without a trace afterward.

Therefore, Nono decides to use illusion magic to control a merchant and infiltrate the caravan as his wife in an attempt to investigate the outer perimeter of the Land of Water ahead of time.

So, under Nono's influence, the merchant rented a small merchant ship and prepared to sail to the Land of Water.

However, just as the many islands of the Water Kingdom came into view, a medium-sized ship that had never been seen before sped towards them.
