"Why are you here?"
Seeing the person walking out of the shadows, Kanpū asked blankly.
It's not that he refused to recognize him, but who knows if there is a Root's member hiding in the dark?
"The matter over there has been dealt with."
Kabuto whispered, "I will follow you from now on…"
'Be a spy!'
This is the mission assigned by Danzo to Kabuto, and it is also the 'reason' for Kabuto to stay by Kanpū's side openly.
If Kanpū can successfully rescue Nono, this spy will be his own.
If he can't rescue her, Kabuto would go back and forth.
But these words don't need to be said in too much detail, as Kanpū and Kabuto both understand.
"Is your Curse Mark still there?" Kanpū suddenly remembered something.
"It has been lifted."
Kabuto said in a low voice: "Danzo knows that you are very cautious, and you will check my body after I take refuge under you, so he removed it from my body in advance, but correspondingly…"
Kanpū's brows slightly wrinkle: "Nono over there?"
"Yes, Danzo has sent someone to the Land of Earth, so the contact information I gave you may not be available anymore, and she might even leave the Land of Earth." Kabuto said with clenched teeth, with veins faintly exposed on his forehead.
'It's still the same old way. Using Yakushi Nono to contain Kabuto and make him follow his orders.
Kanpū comforted in a deep voice while walking: "Don't worry, as long as you don't betray him on the surface, he won't do anything to Nono."
"I understand, Gekko-sama, everything is up to you." Kabuto looked steadily forward and followed Kanpū.
'Then, the next step is how to arrange Kabuto.'
Kanpū pondered in his heart, 'It would be impossible to arrange Kabuto into the Anbu's Medical Department. And apart from Anbu, the only place in Konoha that can let Kabuto gain medical experience is... the hospital!'
"Kabuto, I will send you to the Konoha Hospital tomorrow."
Kanpū said, "First learn from the surgeon and strive to master all types of surgery."
"Yes!" Kabuto nodded in response.
After agreeing on a meeting time, Kabuto quietly disappeared into the darkness.
After returning to the mansion, Kanpū first created a shadow clone, and then hit it with a punch. His memory of Nono was instantly passed on to all the shadow clones, and Kanpū fell asleep in peace.
Early the next morning.
Kanpū got up early and rushed to Konoha Hospital. At eight o'clock, Kabuto appeared there on time.
"Let's go." Kanpū waved at him.
Entering the Konoha Hospital, Kanpū went straight upstairs and came to the dean's office.
The dean of Konoha Hospital is Nara Shikai. When Kanpū is still a child, he followed Hoshino to do the Kekkei Genkai test with him, but after so many years, he doesn't know if Shikai still remembers him.
Knocking on the door and entering, Kanpū had a smile on his face: "Uncle Shikai, do you still remember me?"
Nara Clan's people all have good temper. So seeing a stranger entering his office, Shikai is not angry. He just looked up and down Kanpū, and said with a smile after a while: "It must be Kanpū."
"Uncle Shikai has a really good memory." Kanpū immediately praised.
Shikai smiled and then stood up and said: "What a rare visitor, I haven't seen you for so many years, why did you suddenly want to come to see me?"
"Uncle Shikai, let me introduce you."
Kanpū stepped half of his body away, and said: "This is Kabuto, an orphan during the Third Shinobi World War. In childhood, he once taught himself to master Medical Ninjutsu. He is very talented. I wonder if Uncle Shikai is in need of people like him."
"Medical Ninjutsu?" Shikai's eyes lit up.
Kabuto nodded respectfully: "I am good at Healing Technique and Hemostasis Technique, and I also know a little about surgery."
"Hahaha, in that case, then I won't be polite and accept you." Shikai said with a smile.
For any hospital, Medical-nin are indispensable existence. Even in peacetime, the value of Medical-nin is huge.
This is also one of the reasons why Kanpū dared to bring Kabuto here directly.
As for the second reason, it is naturally because of his identity, the Current Clan Head of the Gekko Clan!
'Since I, the Gekko Clan's Clan Head came here personally, how can people not give me face?'
However, Kanpū is not a braggard. Generally, if people don't ask him, he won't say anything, unless he wants to brag.
"Uncle Shikai, since my task is done, I'll leave Kabuto to you." Kanpū smiled and left the office.
'With Kabuto's wisdom and talent, he should able to mixed in the Konoha Hospital soon, and then, he can start the road of surgery, and the rest is to accumulate experience.'
...
Land of Grass.
Tenkū galloped through the forest with an irritable expression on his face.
'Damn, since the contact information Kabuto gave cannot be used, how can I find Yakushi Nono?'
'Send a missing person notice?'
'Black market's bounty?'
'Why don't you just sell Yakushi Nono out and let Iwagakure's Shinobi go to find her?'
A few days later, Tenkū successfully arrived at the border between the Land of Grass and the Land of Earth, an endlessly tall… rock wall!
The Land of Earth is one of the Five Great Shinobi Countries, but there are very few natural resources in the country. Most of the natural resources there are desolate rock walls. The border of the country is even surrounded by tall rock walls, which hinders the communication between the Land of Earth and other countries.
But this terrain also makes the Land of Earth easy to defend and difficult to attack!
When Tenkū arrived here, he was shocked by the natural defense of the Land of Earth, and couldn't help but want to try himself.
Explosion Release - King Explosion!
Tenkū stepped forward, clenched his fists and savagely throws punches.
Boom boom!
With the fierce rumbling sound, the surging aftermath of the explosion spreads along the rock wall with Tenkū's fists as the center, and the towering and huge rock wall suddenly cracked, turned into countless ferocious broken rock slabs and fell like meteors, splashing countless dust and gravel on the ground.
At this time, Tenkū has already ran half a kilometer away, quietly looking at the disaster he has caused.
After a while, several small black spots suddenly ran down the tall rock wall.
Tenkū's eyes narrowed slightly: 'Sure enough!'
At the Five Kage Summit in the original work, Yondaime Raikage publicly accused Iwagakure of hiring Akatsuki to other countries to wreak havoc in other countries. From this, it can be seen that Iwagakure has aggressive personality, and it is obviously impossible for them to leave their borders empty.
Therefore, there must be a huge number of Iwagakure's Shinobi guarding the long border of the Land of Earth!
Tenkū deliberately released the king explosion in order to attract the attention of these people!
'As expected of the wise me!'
Tenkū moved quietly to the side for a few kilometers, and then quickly ran towards the top of the rock wall.
The reason why he doesn't use Subterranean Voyage and travel directly from the ground is because this is the Land of Earth, and the overwhelming majority of Iwagakure's Shinobi are good at Earth Release Ninjutsu. Using Subterranean Voyage right under their noses has a high probability of being discovered and dug out!
So it is safer to run openly.
After crossing the towering rock wall smoothly, Tenkū quietly went away.
...
The Land of Fire.
Konoha.
Naka Shrine.
The moon is dim and the wind is blowing. Fugaku and Danzo meet again by accident!
"Clan Head Fugaku, I didn't expect you can actually stabilize Uchiha Clan's emotions in such a situation. I really underestimated you." Danzo praised with a smile.
These days, the Root under Danzo has been instigating the relationship between the villagers and the Uchiha's clansman, and quarrels will break out from time to time, causing countless villagers to resent the Uchiha Clan.
But even in such an atmosphere, Fugaku can still hold down the Uchiha Clan, which shows how strong his wrist is.
"There is no need to say meaningless words."
Fugaku has serious expression on his face and said with a snort, "Say, why did you come to me this time? If it's for the so-called cooperation again, please don't speak again!"
Fugaku's trick of playing to has been brought to the point of perfection.
Danzo's left eye flickered, and he said with a dark voice: "Some time ago, my Root was infiltrated!"
"What?"
Fugaku looked at Danzo in disbelief, "Are you cracking a joke?"
"Hahaha, from your expression, it seemed you are really surprised."
Danzo said with a faint smile, "In your impression, is my Root that powerful?"
Fugaku nodded.
"But it's not anymore."
Danzo said with emotion, "Since Yondaime took the position, he has been overtly and secretly suppressing the Root. After a few years, the Root is no longer what it used to be."
"Are you complaining to me?" Fugaku asked calmly.
"No, I'm telling you, even though the Root and I have fallen like this, Yondaime still didn't let me go!" Danzo said loudly.
"Could it be that the infiltration incident is …" Fugaku looked at him in surprise.
Danzo nodded with a sullen face: "Yes, Yondaime sent someone to invade the Root. The other party not only burned down the precious research materials that the Root had accumulated over decades, but also took away… Anyway, I'm telling you about this incident because I wanted to let you see the true face behind Yondaime's hypocritical mask!"
"This is just your one-sided word."
Fugaku said with a snort, "You are trying to trick me into cooperating with you, I will not be fooled!"
"Do you know who invaded the Root?"
Danzo sneered again and again, and without waiting for Fugaku to answer, he said the answer directly, "It's Hyuga Clan's Shinobi!"
"Huh?" Fugaku's heart skipped a beat.
"Konoha's two great clans are Hyuga Clan and your Uchiha Clan. Now that the Hyuga Clan has been embraced by Yondaime, do you know what this means?" Danzo continued.
Fugaku's eyes flicker.
"Two Great Clans, hehehe, Hyuga Hiashi must want to turn the 'two' into the 'only'."
Danzo started to sow dissension, "Clan Head Fugaku, Hyuga Clan's Main House and Branch House system is really excellent, as long as Yondaime controls Hyuga Hiashi alone, he can own the entire Hyuga Clan! Yondaime is an ambitious person. After he controls the Hyuga Clan, your Uchiha Clan will be next. Clan Head Fugaku, are you willing to bow down to Yondaime and give up all your clansmen's lives, Kekkei Genkai and the power in your hands?!"
Faced with Danzo's soul torture, Fugaku's forehead overflowed with cold sweat.
Seeing his appearance, Danzo sneered in his heart.
What he just said is actually halftruth, half-false.
Hyuga Clan's Shinobi did infiltrate Root's Headquarters and burned the precious research materials, but who sent this Hyuga Shinobi? Danzo's answer more inclined to Orochimaru.
But these words of course cannot be said to Fugaku.
"What are you going to… ask me to do?" Fugaku looked Danzo with a stiff expression.
Danzo chuckled and said: "I am conducting an experiment. If the experiment is successful, I will have the power to overthrow Yondaime's tyranny. When the time comes, I hope Clan Head Fugaku can lead the Uchiha Clan to set things right."
"In the end, you are just coveting Hokage's position."
Fugaku's eyes showed disdain, then he squinted his eyes and asked, "If your plan succeeds, how do you plan to deal with us?"
"I don't covet Hokage's position at all. I just want to realize my dream, and being the Hokage is just the beginning of my dream!"
Danzo said with a smile, "I want to make Konoha the strongest village in the Shinobi World, with deterrence far exceeding Shodaime's reign, and even unified the Shinobi World! So Clan Head Fugaku, you can rest assured that Konoha's future needs Uchiha Clan to contribute more and more power!"
Fugaku looked at Danzo steadily, as if analyzing whether what he said was true or false.
After a while, he bowed slightly: "Happy cooperation, Advisor Danzo!"
"In the future, you will definitely be pleased with today's decision!" Danzo held up a bowl of poisonous chicken soup with a smile.
Fugaku then asked: "When will the plan start?"
Danzo shook his head: "We will have to wait for the experiment to finished before we can take action. But don't worry, the results will be available in two years at the latest!"
"Two years? I understand!"
