"The Hokage has granted Lady Tsunade the authority to temporarily mobilize the Anbu."
The Root ninja continued.
"Temporary?"
Shimura Danzo felt slightly relieved, but remained very vigilant.
He knew Hiruzen Sarutobi very well.
The fact that the Anbu, which belongs exclusively to the Hokage, was temporarily handed over to Tsunade was undoubtedly a signal.
Even if Tsunade doesn't have any ideas, the other ninja clans and ninjas will.
The situation suddenly became very unfavorable.
"Hiruzen, don't you have any feelings for us?"
Danzo Shimura clenched his fist and slammed it down.
With a loud bang.
The desk in front of him broke in two.
hateful!
If he had been a step ahead of Hiruzen Sarutobi back then, he would have been the Third Hokage long ago.
We finally got to see the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, die, and now Tsunade has appeared.
If this continues, will he still be able to become Hokage?
"Why is Tsunade investigating Kabuto Yakushi?"
Danzo Shimura took a deep breath and muttered to himself, "Could it be because of Yakushi Nonou?"
After stopping thinking about Naruto, his intelligence regained its dominance.
Kabuto Yakushi is the adopted son of Nono Yakushi.
And Yakushi Nonou has recently been getting very close to Tsunade.
In addition, the Root organization just issued a mission last week, asking her to go to the Land of Earth next week.
Konoha Village is two or three days' journey from the Land of Earth. According to the schedule, Yakushi Nonou should have set off today.
"Go and fetch Yakushi Nonou for me."
Danzo Shimura instructed, "Also, keep an eye on the movements of the Anbu and see if any members leave the village."
"Yes."
The Root ninja turned and left.
"Tsunade! I hope you won't be ungrateful!"
Danzo Shimura reached out and touched his right eye, saying fiercely, "The Hokage is mine!"
Everyone thought his right eye was blind, but in reality, he had replaced it with Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan.
Each Mangekyou Sharingan has a corresponding dojutsu (eye technique), and his dojutsu is Kotoamatsukami.
Simply put, it can silently and stealthily alter the will and thoughts of a target.
However, Danzo Shimura never used it.
It wasn't that he was kind; it was that he was worried people would notice something amiss.
Especially the Uchiha clan.
They might know a great deal about Uchiha Shisui and the Mangekyou Sharingan.
If he were to try and control Hiruzen Sarutobi or Tsunade, and the Uchiha clan were to interfere, that would be very troublesome.
While the various ninja clans and Jonin may not necessarily believe in the Uchiha clan, conversely, they may not necessarily believe in him either.
After all, his reputation is rather bad.
However, Danzo Shimura had no intention of improving his reputation.
Because he is the root buried in darkness.
"Lord Danzo."
The Root ninja returned and said, "Yakushi Nonou has been taken away by Tsunade; we couldn't find her."
"Damn Tsunade!"
Danzo Shimura flew into a rage, "It seems you really intend to oppose me!"
The Root ninja's breath hitched, as he felt a murderous intent permeating the air.
"Go and kill Yakushi Kabuto!"
Danzo Shimura said with a twisted expression, "Tsunade wants him? I won't give him to her!"
"Yes."
The Root ninja agreed without the slightest hesitation.
They were brainwashed by Danzo Shimura; in their minds, Danzo Shimura was greater than Konoha and greater than the Hokage.
"and many more."
Suddenly, Shimura Danzo realized something and said, "It can't be Root that leaked Yakushi Kabuto's information to Iwagakure."
If nothing unexpected happens, Tsunade will definitely send someone to pick up Kabuto Yakushi.
Although the Root members are all quite strong, the Anbu are no slouch either, so casualties are inevitable.
When the memories of the Root members are read by the Yamanaka clan, they will become a threat to him.
Hiruzen Sarutobi is no longer his old friend.
With Tsunade interfering, he might actually kill her.
In the original work, he is the liaison for Orochimaru.
Orochimaru didn't kill Kabuto Yakushi; instead, he invited him to join Otogakure.
However, time is of the essence now, and there is no time to find Orochimaru.
"Yes."
The Root ninja stood up.
"Hiruzen! Tsunade!"
Shortly after the Root ninjas left, Danzo Shimura's impotent rage echoed through the office.
……
Night fell.
Kitazawa and Kakashi Hatake finally stopped after traveling all day.
Although we need to race against time with the roots, we still need to rest when necessary.
Besides, Kakashi Hatake is always using his Sharingan, so he's already quite weak.
They rushed to Iwagakure without stopping, and if they encountered the enemy while exhausted, it would be a greater loss than gain.
"No fires are allowed during the mission."
Kakashi Hatake cautioned, "We're not far from the Land of Earth right now, and we could encounter Iwagakure ninjas at any moment."
"I know."
As Kitazawa set up the tent, he asked, "Did you bring any food?"
"There are rice balls and sushi."
Kakashi Hatake replied.
Want some snacks?
Kitazawa said with a smile, "I have potato chips, lollipops and cookies here."
Why do you still carry snacks with you?
Kakashi Hatake asked, puzzled.
"It's for the children."
Kitazawa clapped his hands and said, "You know, I'm a ninja academy teacher."
"...?"
Kakashi Hatake was silent for two seconds before saying, "I don't eat snacks."
"The tent is set up, come in."
Kitazawa went into the tent.
"You're a ninja academy instructor, why are you participating in an ANBU mission?"
Kakashi Hatake took a bite of his rice ball and asked.
"This is related to the Konoha ninja who came to our aid. His name is Kabuto Yakushi. He is a member of Root and the adopted son of Nono Yakushi."
Kitazawa explained the whole story to him.
"I see."
Kakashi Hatake nodded slightly and said, "You're a medical ninja, you shouldn't be here."
After Kitazawa's explanation, he understood why he had participated in the Dark Division mission.
Kitazawa received help from Yakushi Nonou, who took him to have surgery and taught him medical ninjutsu.
That's why Kitazawa's version was updated by Kakashi Hatake.
While repaying a debt of gratitude is not wrong, medical ninjas are not good at fighting, and coming here is simply asking for trouble.
"It was Lady Tsunade who taught me medical ninjutsu."
Kitazawa chuckled and asked, "Is Lady Tsunade an ordinary medical ninja?"
Kakashi Hatake was slightly taken aback, but he still didn't quite believe in his strength.
If he really had such great talent, why would he have waited until now?
Are you really not going to eat?
Kitazawa handed him a bag of potato chips and asked.
"Thank you."
Kakashi Hatake hesitated for a moment before taking the potato chips.
"You're welcome."
Kitazawa smiled and said, "After all, we're teammates now."
"After dinner, we took turns keeping watch."
Kakashi Hatake calmly said, "I'll keep watch for the first half of the night, and you keep watch for the second half."
"Ok."
Kitazawa agreed.
The third day has arrived.
The two successfully arrived at the nearest town to Iwagakure.
"You stay here, I'll infiltrate Iwagakure by myself."
Kakashi Hatake spoke calmly.
"Can you convince Kabuto Yakushi?"
Kitazawa countered with a question.
"The more people there are, the greater the risk of exposure."
Kakashi Hatake shook his head and said, "As long as I explain my purpose to Kabuto, he will believe me."
“He’s from Root, you’re from Anbu, and it also involves Senior Nonou. He won’t be so easily persuaded.”
