"No."
Kakashi Hatake said nonchalantly.
"Let's go see the Hokage now."
Kitazawa thought for a moment and then said.
There's no harm in telling Hiruzen Sarutobi about this.
This will allow Konoha to be on guard in advance, so that they won't be caught off guard when they encounter Obito Uchiha.
The two immediately headed towards the Hokage Building.
"It's rare to see the two of you come together."
Hiruzen Sarutobi was surprised to see them.
"Lord Hokage."
Kakashi Hatake said in a deep voice, "Kitazawa and I were attacked by a mysterious masked man at the Ninja Academy."
"Has someone actually broken into Konoha Village?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression immediately turned serious, and he asked, "Where is he? Have you caught him?"
The fact that Kakashi Hatake and Kitazawa appeared before him naturally proved that they were unharmed.
"No."
Kakashi Hatake replied, "We didn't keep him."
"With your strength, how were you able to let him escape?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat taken aback.
Kitazawa and Kakashi Hatake are both top-tier Jonin.
But from another perspective, those who could escape from them must be among the strongest in the ninja world.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was confident that he could guess the identity of the mysterious masked man by the ninjutsu he used.
However, just as he was about to ask a question, Kakashi Hatake's words left him stunned.
"He sometimes uses space-time ninjutsu."
Kakashi Hatake took a deep breath and said, "He also has the Sharingan and Wood Release."
"What did you say?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly stood up, his face full of disbelief.
This is truly a ghost story!
Wood Release and Sharingan, how did they come together?
Who exactly made the mistake?
No, that's not right!
Hiruzen Sarutobi knew the Senju and Uchiha clans, so such a situation was impossible.
At that moment, the name Shimura Danzo came to mind.
Chapter 234 Kitazawa's Three-Tomoe Sharingan
Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately thought of Danzo Shimura, so he wasn't wrong about it.
After all, he really did conduct Wood Release experiments, and he even had a survivor named Yamato, who is now the ANBU Tenzo.
Since there is one survivor, there is a possibility that there is a second survivor.
Given Danzo Shimura's personality, he was indeed capable of doing such a thing.
The idea was to throw the hidden treasure at him to confuse him, so that the second survivor could be hidden.
With the Sharingan and Wood Release combined, two major bloodline limits in one body, even Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't imagine how strong he would be.
OK!
Danzo Shimura, you've kept this from me for so long!
Hiruzen Sarutobi now wished he could rush to the Shimura clan's stronghold, capture Shimura Danzo, and torture him severely.
But with Kitazawa and Kakashi Hatake in front of him, he temporarily suppressed his impulse.
"Tell me in detail about the battle."
After Hiruzen Sarutobi sat down again, he spoke.
"Yes."
Kakashi Hatake started by talking about his and Kitazawa's swordsmanship, and finally cut off Obito Uchiha's arm, allowing him to escape.
"You did a great job."
After listening, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but praise, "Especially since Kitazawa was able to find his weakness in such a short time."
With a broken arm and serious injuries, finding him would be much easier.
As long as he is in Konoha, no matter how Shimura Danzo tries to hide, he cannot escape his eyes.
"You've all worked hard today. Don't mention this to anyone."
Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand and said, "I will immediately send someone to investigate this mysterious masked man."
He has no intelligence at the moment, so it's not appropriate for him to say anything to Kakashi Hatake and Kitazawa.
"Lord Hokage, please let me know if there are any results."
Kakashi Hatake hesitated before saying, "This person gives me a familiar feeling; perhaps I've met him before."
"Have you seen it before? That could be a useful clue."
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and said, "I will let you know when there are results."
"Thank you, Lord Hokage."
Kakashi Hatake bowed slightly and left the Hokage's office with Kitazawa.
"clear."
Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately shouted.
"Lord Hokage."
Haru, an ANBU ninja, pushed open the door and walked in.
Where is Danzo now?
Hiruzen Sarutobi asked.
"Still within the Shimura clan."
Qing replied.
"Take the Anbu with you and come with me to the Shimura clan."
Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up, paused suddenly, and said, "Don't bring Itachi."
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
Qing turned and left.
After waiting for a few minutes, Hiruzen Sarutobi headed towards the Shimura clan's encampment.
He soon arrived at his destination.
"Sun Slash".
Danzo Shimura had already received the news and was waiting at the door.
Upon seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi, he quickly went to greet him.
At that moment, Shimura Danzo had only one thought in his mind: his old friend had not forgotten him, and after only a few days, he couldn't help but come to find him.
He naturally assumed that Hiruzen Sarutobi had come to reinstate him.
After all, he hasn't made any mistakes during this period, so he couldn't have come here specifically to cause trouble.
"You may all step back."
Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand and said, "I have something to discuss with Danzo alone."
The other Shimura clan ninjas immediately left upon hearing this.
"Hiruzen, what is it?"
Danzo Shimura asked casually.
"I'm asking you."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression turned extremely serious. "Besides Tenzo, are there any other survivors of the Wood Release experiments?"
"...?"
Danzo Shimura was completely stunned.
what's the situation?
Why are you asking about the Wood Release experiment again?
Did Tsunade discover something?
"As far as I know, Tianzang is the only survivor."
"I said with certainty," Shimura Danzo said.
Danzo!
Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly raised his voice, "I'm not joking with you! You better tell me the truth!"
Why are you yelling so loudly?
Danzo Shimura was startled.
But when I came to my senses, I felt a chill run down my spine.
He knew Hiruzen Sarutobi and knew he wouldn't ask such a question without a reason.
There is only one truth.
"Hiruzen, you've encountered a second Wood Release ninja?"
Danzo Shimura couldn't help but ask.
"good."
Hiruzen Sarutobi admitted.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Danzo Shimura quickly denied it, saying, "When I arrived at Orochimaru's laboratory, only Tenzo was alive!"
"Could it be that Orochimaru has secretly kept a second survivor of Wood Release?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression suddenly darkened, and he asked.
"Probably!"
Danzo Shimura's eyes lit up, and he said, "Orochimaru led the Wood Release experiments; my main role was to provide materials and funding!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned.
He stood there, lost in thought.
Judging from Danzo Shimura's reaction, he was probably telling the truth.
So it really is Orochimaru?
But if it was Orochimaru, why would he send this Wood Release ninja to attack Kakashi Hatake and Kitazawa?
Does he have a grudge against Kakashi Hatake?
"That bastard Orochimaru actually lied to me!"
"I'm very unhappy," said Danzo Shimura.
