Madara, let's change the world together!

Orochimaru answered in a normal tone.

"I understand. Continue to infiltrate Danzo's inner circle."

Upon hearing his teacher's words, Orochimaru bowed slightly and then disappeared from the office.

There wasn't much to gain.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat surprised. Had his old friend not done anything that was explicitly forbidden in Konoha?

Why does this intelligence report only describe how to target enemy ninja villages and then use their bodies for experiments?

He tapped on his desk and began to think.

In the years leading up to Minato's appointment, many genin, chunin, and even ANBU ninjas went missing.

Even more seriously, several cases of infant kidnapping have occurred in villages surrounding Konoha, with as many as sixty people confirmed missing.

He thought that Danzo had started another forbidden experiment on Hashirama cells.

So he wanted to find out what Danzo had done that was explicitly forbidden in order to force him to hand over the Jinchuriki's child.

That child was someone he cared about very much.

Danzo would never randomly choose a child to become a Jinchūriki, which means that the child must have extraordinary abilities.

If those missing babies grew up, they would probably be around ten years old.

Although it cannot be confirmed, if Danzo's experiment is indeed successful, then that child absolutely cannot be allowed to stay in Root!

Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered for a moment, then took out the intelligence letter next to him.

This is a reply from Kakashi Hatake, who went to Hatsuhi Castle on a mission. It says that Minato Namikaze's situation is special; he is not in mortal danger, but it will take time to determine a treatment method.

It is quite normal for the treatment to take a year, or even two or three years, to be conservatively estimated.

Ok

Since Tsunade is with Minato, there shouldn't be any major problems.

So Hiruzen Sarutobi began writing letters.

Meanwhile, Danzo, located at the Root organization's base, is instructing A to manipulate the seal.

"Still not working?"

Danzo Shimura sighed.

"This seal is powerful, but it's also a form of confinement."

Jia, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, opened his eyes.

During this time, he had been trying to see if he could bypass the seal and mobilize the Nine-Tails' chakra.

However, this seal was like an extremely strong fortress, completely sealing the power of the Nine-Tails within it. He couldn't even bypass the seal to sense the Nine-Tails, let alone use its chakra.

It's as if he became the container for this seal, rather than the container for the Nine-Tails.

"Well, it's a good thing that we can completely seal the Nine-Tails."

"The rest is to complete this unfinished sealing technique."

Perhaps the pharmacist Nonou in the Land of Water can complete this secret technique.

However, we should not have too high expectations, and research should be carried out simultaneously.

Swish!

Danzo turned his head and looked at the Root ninja who had suddenly appeared behind him.

"Is it B?"

"Lord Danzo, Lord Orochimaru wants to speak with you."

"Um"

"Jia, continue to train in Wood Release. As for controlling the Nine-Tails' chakra, wait for further instructions before proceeding."

"Yes!"

When Danzo went to the laboratory inside and met Orochimaru, the latter was fiddling with the items in the laboratory.

Orochimaru, what is it?

Orochimaru maintained that mysterious and sinister smile.

"The Third Hokage asked me for information on Root, wanting to find a reason to deal with you. He's probably preparing to use his resources to get that Jinchuriki child from you."

Danzo Shimura frowned.

"Given his abilities, we can't keep this a secret for long."

"No, perhaps he already realized it after I gave him the information."

"I'm afraid the secret here will soon be exposed."

Orochimaru said this, but his expression was smiling, showing no sign of panic.

Danzo Shimura's face had turned extremely gloomy.

We must come up with a solution as soon as possible.

Compared to Hiruzen's Anbu power, Root is still much weaker.

If the other side finds a reason, he will probably have no choice but to hand over the armor.

A few days later, in Hatsumi City, Kakashi's shadow clone, who was strolling on the street, saw an eagle flying in the sky.

That's Konoha's

Kakashi sighed.

You can't jump onto the roof.

So Kakashi specifically found a green space in a park and jumped onto a tree.

As the eagle landed, Kakashi took out the letter inside and began to read it.

It seems I must report this to Uncle Yuan.

Ten minutes later, Kakashi, Obito, and Rin all appeared in Hatsuhijo's office.

Kiyoi Megumi and Kiyoi Fuyu, dressed in office lady attire, were processing documents, while Kiyoi Gen sat on the sofa listening to Kakashi's report.

"Uncle Yuan, the Third Hokage has summoned Obito and me back to Konoha to continue our positions in the Anbu."

"He seems to be planning to transfer us to his direct secret service."

Kiyoshi nodded.

"I've also received intelligence."

"It seems that Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura are testing each other, and the discontent of the Uchiha clan is growing daily."

"They probably want to use your resources to handle these matters."

"Kakashi, Obito, you two will obey orders and return to Konoha to resume normal operations."

"Rin, you should stay by Tsunade's side and help out at the hospital."

"Yes!" x3

The three who had officially joined the City of First Sun answered forcefully.

"Ah, let's talk to Minato about this before we leave."

"Obito, go to Konoha and let Rin's parents know you're safe. Don't forget to bring a small gift before you visit."

Obito quickly replied.

"Yes!"

"Uncle Yuan, thank you."

Nohara Rin expressed her gratitude to Kiyoi Gen.

"After observing them, I will have the Chamber of Commerce try to transfer them to work here, so you won't have any worries."

"These are all things I promised you before, no need to thank me."

Kiyoshi Gen's expression was very gentle.

"Then let's decide on this."

The three nodded and then left the office.

After thinking for a while, Kiyoi Gen opened the system and checked the situation on the Cloud Village side.

Now all sorts of things have come together at once.

"Is the earthen platform ready?"

Inside the Raikage's office in Kumogakure, the Fourth Hokage, A, tapped on the table while asking questions.

"Lord Raikage, the army has been assembled and the logistics are ready."

"There's one point I think we should discuss further."

The Cloud Hidden Technician Tsuchida, whose left eye was covered by a wooden plaque, revealed his thoughts.

"Although the Fourth Hokage is currently seriously injured and it is unknown when he will recover, we cannot hope that the Fourth Hokage will not appear throughout the entire war."

"If the Third Hokage stays in the rear and the Fourth Hokage participates in the battle, our troops are very likely to lose because they lack high-end combat power."

"Since we're going to start a war, let's make sure that we, the Hidden Cloud Village, can benefit from it."

Hearing this, the fourth generation Ai became somewhat interested.

"Oh? Tell me quickly."

Tu Tai coughed, feeling that his idea was somewhat shameless.

However, since it's for the benefit of Kumogakure, why not do it?
