Obito's expression under the mask became a bit solemn, and he suddenly discovered that the gloomy and cold guy in front of him seemed to know more than he thought.
The original strange voice disappeared, replaced by a somewhat hoarse voice.
"As expected of the one of the Legendary Sannin, Orochimaru, it seems that you have a good grasp of intelligence."
"Haha, it's really flattering to be able to get the praise of the legendary God of War in the Shinobi World." Orochimaru said softly, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his words.
"The more you know, the quicker you will die," Obito said coldly.
"Haha, I can't agree with Madara-san's words. The more you know the truth in the world, the more meaningful you can live. Only by knowing all Ninjutsu can you live the fullest."
"It's really a superficial idea." Obito taunted.
Orochimaru chuckled lightly after hearing this and laughs at Obito's taunt.
"Madara-san, it is a pleasure to cooperate with you this time. Sanbi has been sealed by me, I wonder if you want it?"
Obito looked at Orochimaru and said: "Orochimaru, what is your purpose?"
Obito does not believe that Orochimaru is so kind and willing to help him without any reason.
"Purpose? Haha, what if it's just a whim? You want to start the Fourth Shinobi World War, right? I can help you. This is such an interesting thing, isn't it?" Orochimaru looks at Obito and said with a smile.
Under the mask, the young face frowned slightly, and he couldn't figure out Orochimaru's thoughts.
'What the hell is this gloomy guy thinking about?'
It's just that Akatsuki right now is indeed low on manpower.
At this time, they have lost four members, and it might be a bit troublesome to capture the remaining Bijū.
Especially Itachi who may not be loyal and will be a trouble in the future.
Obito has always been a little afraid of Itachi.
On Itachi's body, Obito see the threat.
It's just that in Obito's view, Itachi is already very sick and may die at any time.
In this way, if Orochimaru can rejoin Akatsuki, it seems to be a good choice.
"Madara-san, this Sanbi is my gift for you as it will be the beginning of our re-cooperation. I believe that my help will save Madara-san a lot of trouble as Madara-san's strength has not recovered yet."
"Hmph, although I have lost part of my strength, it is still possible to finish you off," Obito said coldly.
"Haha, Madara-san, our purpose is the same, that means we are friends, what do you say?"
Obito hesitated a little and eventually made a compromise.
"Okay, I will accept your cooperation. However, if you betray us again, you will know the consequences."
"Haha, then thank you Madara-san. I really look forward to the cooperation between you and me."
Orochimaru seemed to be a little excited as he spoke, and there was an emotion called eagerness in his golden pupils.
'The first step of the plan, complete.' Orochimaru secretly thought in his heart.
Konoha, Hokage Tower.
"The mission failed?" Tsunade exclaimed in surprise.
Tsunade originally thought that after Kakashi has been dispatched this time, even if the mission is dangerous, it will be still completed.
It turns out that Kakashi is not omnipotent.
"Yes, Tsunade-sama. Orochimaru's strength is no longer the same as before. Orochimaru, who now has power of Shikotsumyaku, is even more difficult to deal with. And Orochimaru seems to be entangled with Akatsuki again. In the mission this time, a member of the Akatsuki stopped me. This caused me delayed and made Orochimaru succeed."
"It turned out to be like that."
At this time, the door of the Hokage Office was opened again, and Danzo walked in on his own.
"Kakashi, you can't blame those reasons to your mission failure. As a Shinobi, if you can't even complete the mission, what's your point of existence?"
Tsunade was very upset after seeing Danzo's sudden appearance.
"Danzo, I already said that here is the Hokage Office! Not a place where you can go in and out at will!"
"Godaime, when I was dealing with political affairs, you were just a little brat. I have more experience in these things than you. Accept my guidance with humility."
"You!"
Danzo ignored Tsunade, but looked at Kakashi coldly and said: "Kakashi, this Quest, not only did you fail this mission, you also caused Kirigakure's Ao to lose his Byakugan. Although I have long wanted to regain those eye, but what happened this time will destroy the friendly relationship between Kirigakure and Konoha. Will you take the responsibility for this?"
Danzo said with an aggressive look as he clearly came prepared.
And for Danzo to know about the details of this mission so clearly, it is presumable that Sai has already told Danzo what happened.
"I wonder what opinion Danzo-sama has." Kakashi said lightly.
"Hmph, Hatake Kakashi, you failed to complete the S-rank mission and caused huge losses to the village. As punishment, you should be expelled from Anbu Commander's position!"
Hearing this, Kakashi narrowed his eye and secretly thought 'Sure enough, this Danzo wants to deal with me.'
Tsunade slammed her table when she heard this and shouted angrily: "Danzo! Kakashi is Anbu Commander who is directly under my jurisdiction. When did it become your authority to remove him from that position?"
"Godaime, as Hokage, you should separate personal feelings from official business. Kakashi failed to complete the mission and caused Konoha's huge losses, so he should be punished." Danzo's cold gaze looked towards Tsunade.
"Hmph, Kirigakure hasn't even protested yet, but you are already protesting?"
"The reason Kirigakure has not protested yet is because they are waiting for our Konoha to respond. If we don't give them a satisfactory response, I am afraid that the relationship between us and Kirigakure will once again drop to the freezing point. I hope that you can consider properly, Godaime. "
"Bastard! When did Konoha have to do something that to please Kirigakure to maintain the relationship!" Tsunade said angrily.
"Godaime, this is something your teacher, Hiruzen, often does, did you forget? For the peace between villages, what is the sacrifice of the small one? Kakashi, you understand about this, right?"
Danzo said as he looked at Kakashi again.
Kakashi chuckled and said: "Since the Danzo-sama thinks it is necessary, then I will step down from this position. It just happens that I am a little tired recently."
Hearing this, Danzo's face showed joy.
"No, Kakashi, if you step down, there is no suitable candidate to take over that position. Let's suspend your position for a month, and then talk about it later," Tsunade said.
"Godaime! You are only doing superficial work like this, and Kirigakure won't satisfied."
"Danzo, if there is any problem with Kirigakure, I will solve it myself. This is what I want to do. You can go."
Seeing that Tsunage has ordered him to leave, Danzo snorted coldly and turned around and leave.
Kakashi looked at Danzo leaving with thoughtful expression.
