"Kakashi, Danzo seems to be planning to do something to you."
Kakashi nodded, expressing his understanding.
Danzo has always been a war hawk, so how can he think of giving in to Kirigakure.
This time, it was obviously that he only used this reason because he wanted Kakashi to step back from Anbu Commander's position.
After all, a person without a position is much easier to deal with.
Kakashi can now be sure that Danzo must have been the one who leaked the information about this mission to Orochimaru.
"This old guy knows to play these conspiracies all day long." Tsunade was slightly angry.
"Tsunade-sama, it seems that Danzo seems to be getting ready to move. You should discuss this matter with Sandaime-sama."
"I understand that. But sensei is now at home living in retirement, right now, he is just teaching Konohamaru, and waiting for the birth of Asuma's child, so I really can't bear to bother him about this kind of matter. Sensei has worked hard for Konoha all his life, so it is time for him to enjoy the good fortune in his later years. "
Kakashi nodded and said nothing.
"Kakashi, be careful, that Danzo is the best at playing tricks behind the back."
"I understand, don't worry about it. But temporarily stepping back from the position of Anbu Commander has eased me a lot. During this period of time, I can also take a good rest."
Tsunade smiled after hearing this and said: "You are still so lazy. It seems that you are almost catching up with Jiraiya."
"I envy Jiraiya-sama very much."
"You brat, don't you dare to learn from Jiraiya, I will not let you go. It is not easy to find a successor."
Kakashi said helplessly: "I know, Tsunade-sama."
"Good, you have worked hard these days. You can go now."
"Yes."
After Kakashi left the Hokage Office, Tsunade frowned.
Danzo's movements caught Tsunade off guard.
After Tsunade became Hokage, Danzo has always been very peaceful.
This made Tsunade think that Danzo has changed and is no longer as strong and unpredictable as before.
But now, it seems that that may not be the case.
"Danzo..."
After Kakashi returned to his house, he used Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique) to go to Ochagakure. There is something he needs to confirm with Shisui.
At this time, in the bustling Ochagakure, Kakashi changed his outfit and found Shisui.
"Kakashi? Why are you here?" Shisui looked at Kakashi in surprise. After all, if there was nothing important. Kakashi would not come to Ochagakure.
"Shisui, there is something I want to ask you." Kakashi asked straightforwardly without beating around the bush.
"What's the matter?" Shisui asked in confusion.
"How long can the effectiveness of Kotoamatsukami last?"
"The effectiveness of Kotoamatsukami? Why did you suddenly ask this question? Is it Danzo?"
Shisui was confused at first, and then immediately understood.
"Well, there is something wrong with Danzo recently, and he has already planned to attack me. If the effectiveness of Kotoamatsukami is still there, this shouldn't happen."
"The effectiveness of Kotoamatsukami can be sustained forever. If a person's spirit and will have a great conflict with the will given by the Kotoamatsukami itself, it will still last for two decades or more. If Danzo's Kotoamatsukami is lifted, I am afraid it is because of someone removed the Kotoamatsukami."
"Removing Kotoamatsukami? Can it really be done?" Kakashi asked in surprise.
When Shisui heard Kakashi's question, he smiled and answered: "As long as it is Genjutsu, there is naturally a way to remove it. Moreover, the longer a Genjutsu lasts, the less effective it will be, unless there is a continuous supply of Chakra. It's just that the consumption was too great, and even I couldn't afford it. So after I used Kotoamatsukami to Danzo, I cut off the Chakra supplies to Danzo's Kotoamatsukami."
"So it's like that. Then, who can remove the Kotoamatsukami?"
"As long as it is Mangekyō Sharingan, they should be able to remove it. After all these years, the effectiveness of Kotoamatsukami has declined a lot."
"Mangekyō Sharingan?"
Kakashi muttered to himself, and he already had a few guesses in his mind.
There aren't many Mangekyō Sharingan on this world.
Kakashi, Shisui, Itachi, Fugaku, and Obito are the only five people who have Mangekyō Sharingan.
Kakashi, Shisui, Itachi, and Fugaku are naturally not going to remove Danzo's Kotoamatsukami, so the answer is naturally Obito.
"It looks like that person has acted." Shisui whispered.
What Kakashi can think of, Shisui can naturally also think of it.
Kakashi nodded and said: "It seems that killing the Akatsuki's members has made that person a little alert. Now he planned to use Danzo's power to interfere me from the inside."
"What are you going to do?" Shisui asked.
"Oh, since Danzo was like that, I don't mind playing a game with him. After all, we should clean Konoha from the people who sabotage it. The Root almost cover one-third of Konoha's high-end combat power so it's time to recycle it."
"Be careful. Even if Danzo's strength is nothing special, he is very scheming, and he always uses behind-the-scenes methods. I am afraid that it will be very troublesome to deal with him. And if his Kotoamatsukami is really removed, he should know that I am not dead," Shisui said.
"I know, maybe it's time to get you back to Konoha. After all, the Root needs a new owner, isn't it?" Kakashi said with a smile.
Shisui was stunned for a moment after hearing this, obviously not expecting Kakashi to have such an idea.
"By the way, how is the situation of the Hatake Clan in Ochagakure?" Kakashi asked.
"Not bad. The Hatake Clan's members are very similar to you, and you are very popular in the village." Shisui said with a smile.
"That's good."
Kakashi said softly.
After transplanting the Hashirama's cells to Itachi before, Kakashi asked Shisui to take his shadow clone to the Hatake Clan's secluded place to pick them up and bring them to Ochagakure.
Everything went smoothly.
Over the past few decades, the Hatake Clan has also prospered a lot.
Although the number of the clansmen hasn't exceeded one hundred, it is still extremely good.
...
Root, secret room.
"Danzo-sama, I have finished investigating the matter you asked me to investigate before." B said with one knee on the ground.
"Oh? What's the situation?"
"The group of silver-haired Shinobi in Ochagakure did use the Hatake Clan Sword Technique. Although it cannot be compared with Hatake Kakashi's swordsmanship, their power is quite good."
"Sure enough, is it the Hatake Clan's members? Hmph, the Hatake Clan really hides evil intentions, and has always hidden the strength of their clan from the outside world. Their intention is more sinister than the Uchiha Clan," Danzo said coldly.
"Danzo-sama, during the investigation, I also found that Ochagakure seems to have a mysterious leader, but only a few people have seen him. On the surface, the village is controlled by an Elite Jōnin named Ryuga Yamaichi."
"Mysterious leader?" Danzo murmured, and cold glint flashed in his eye.
