Root's Headquarters.
The shadow clone, who came back to report, quickly walked through a dark corridor and came to Danzo's office.
"Danzo-sama."
The shadow clone knelt on one-knee, and said emotionally, "Nono is back!"
"Eh?"
Danzo suddenly stood up from his chair, "What did you say?!"
"Nono is back, and Kabuto has joined her. The two of them are in the orphanage now!" The shadow clone quickly reports.
"Bastard!!!"
Danzo smashed the table next to him with a punch, the veins on his forehead popped out, and he was furious, "How dare that guy betray me!!"
'And Gekko Kanpū!'
'It must be that guy making trouble, otherwise, how dare Kabuto betray me?'
'Damn it, damn it!!'
"Danzo-sama, what should we do next?" The shadow clone asked.
"Go to the orphanage!" Danzo clenched his teeth and said in a deep voice.
'As the village high level advisor, as the Leader of the Root, am I, Danzo, don't need face?'
'Deceiving me like this… Unforgivable!!!'
With Danzo's order, the Root's Headquarters immediately gathered twenty elite Shinobi, and they all rushed towards the orphanage.
If it was another place, so many people acting together would definitely alarm others, but the orphanage is located in a very remote place, and Danzo and his men are using a small path, so it didn't attract anyone's attention all the way.
Until at the orphanage!
"He's here!"
After Kanpū's shadow clone saw that Danzo's entire group arrived, he immediately dropped Flying Thunder God Kunai, and then formed hand seal to disband himself.
At the same time.
Kanpū, who is in his mansion, suddenly opened his eyes, and then immediately activated Sage Mode. Following the 'Network Cable' buried before, he rushed to the place where the shadow clone dissipated in two or three teleports, and then relied on Minato's nerve reflexes to gently grab the Flying Thunder God Kunai which was about to fall to the ground.
At this time, Danzo and the others approached the entrance of the orphanage. The Root's Shinobi wore masks on their face and exuded a cold aura. Danzo's face looked calm, but he still looked scary, so seeing them, the seven or eight orphans playing at the entrance were scared to escape quickly.
"Nono, Kabuto, come out!" Danzo stood at the door and said coldly.
The cold voice passed through most of the orphanage and fell into everyone's ears.
"It's still here no matter what." Nono put down the rag in her hand.
Kabuto, who is next to her, pretended not to care and said: "Don't worry, Kanpū-sama will protect us."
"I hope so."
Nono looked worriedly at the other nuns and orphans who surrounded her, and forced a smile, "You all stay here, don't go out. Leave everything to me. Kabuto, you stay too."
"No."
Kabuto shook his head and said with firm eyes, "Let me be with you, Sister."
"We will also be with you, Sister!" The rest of the people also spoke in unison.
Although Nono has been away for many years, everyone here remembers her kindness!
Nono was very moved when she saw this, but resolutely declined their request. In the end, only Nono and Kabuto walked out of the orphanage's entrance.
"Nono, who allowed you to return to the village!"
Danzo stared at Nono coldly, and shouted in a low voice, "Don't forget the mission you have on your back. Arbitrarily going back to the village, do you want to betray Konoha?!"
Nono's face changed slightly. Her burden is indeed great, and once she is reported, she, Kabuto, and the young Gekko Clan's Clan Head will all be punished!
She was about to refute, but she heard a series of sneering sounds not far away.
"Advisor Danzo is so majestic, you actually dared to come to my place to act wildly!"
Kanpū walked over with his hands on his back, with an arrogant, cold, and emotionless expression on his face.
Danzo squinted his one eye, and faintly said, "Gekko Kanpū, this is my Root's business, you are not qualified to intervene!"
"Sorry, Nono is the one I specially invited from outside to serve as the head of this orphanage. She is my employee, so naturally, I am qualified to intervene!" Kanpū calmly retorted.
Danzo coldly said: "Nono is my spy."
"Spy?"
Kanpū chuckled and said, "Every spy sent by Konoha must have their information be kept in Anbu, does Nono have one?"
Danzo's expression gradually became gloomy: "She is Root's spy!"
"Nono was indeed a Root member before, but she has quit the Root for many years."
Kanpū laughed and said, "So I think, there should be no spy's information of her in the Root, so where does this spy come from?"
The corner of Danzo's mouth twitched slightly, and he angrily said: "Are you provoking me? Gekko Kanpū!!!"
Kanpū took out a document, and said solemnly: "This was just approved yesterday. From now on, this orphanage is funded by my Gekko Clan, and I also have the final say on the appointment and dismissal of the orphanage's personnel, Danzo consultant. I now appoint Nono as the head of the orphanage, who agrees and who opposes?!"
Danzo's cold gaze shifted from Kanpū's face, and finally fell on Kabuto: "Kabuto, you…"
"I'm so sorry, Kabuto is also an orphanage's personnel. Kanpū interrupted him with a smile.
"You really colluded together."
Danzo sneered again and again, "Follow me back, Kabuto!"
With Kanpū's blocking, Danzo didn't dare to do anything to Nono, who 'had no identity certificate', but Kabuto is a real Root's member. As long as all the documents and proofs were available, if Danzo wants to take him back, even Hokage himself can't stop him!
And as long as he gets Kabuto, he can naturally handle Nono!
'Hmph hmph hmph hmph…'
'You are still too young, Gekko Kanpū!'
"Sorry, Danzo-sama, due to personal reasons, I want to quit the Root." Kabuto is a very smart person, how could he put himself in danger again? So he resigned on the spot!
Danzo's face twitched, and said coldly: "Do you think Root is a place you can enter if you want, and exit if you want to exit? Don't be naive, Yakushi Kabuto!!!"
"I heard that in order to prevent Root's members from leaking your information, Advisor Danzo will put Curse Mark on every Root's members. I wonder if there is any on Kabuto." Kanpū asked with a smile.
Danzo's pupil shrank.
"Not at all."
Kabuto said very cooperatively, "Danzo-sama wanted me to hide beside you as an undercover agent, my Lord, so he personally removed the Curse Mark from me."
"Oh, there is such a thing?!"
Kanpū was furious and pointed at Danzo's nose, and said "Advisor Danzo, putting an undercover agent next to me, what do you want to do? Assassinate me? Or do you want to steal Anbu's information?"
The muscles between Danzo's eyebrows twitched faintly. He wished that he could break Kabuto and Kanpū's skull with his cane, but he could never admit it, so he had to suppress his anger, and said coldly: "I didn't give such an order!"
"In that case, why did Advisor Danzo remove the Curse Mark from Kabuto?"
Kanpū asked, then answered himself with surprise and joy, "Could it be that Advisor Danzo has agreed to Kabuto's resignation application?"
Danzo was silent. Although he did not know when Kabuto colluded with Kanpū, he was certain that he was definitely plotted by Kabuto!
Now that Nono is protected by Kanpū, and he has lifted the Curse Mark from Kabuto. As long as Kabuto bites himself and exposed him, Danzo will not be able to wash himself clean!
'Unless, Kabuto is dead!'
Thinking of this, Danzo's expression turned cold and stern, and he said casually: "Kabuto, you secretly stole Root's confidential information. Not only did you remove the Curse Mark without authorization, you even dared to bite me, today, as a Konoha's high level advisor, I will judge you as Konoha's A-Rank Missing-nin!"
Nono's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously shouted: "No, Danzo-sama, I…"
"Sister!" Kabuto hurriedly interrupted her, lest she say anything 'stupid' in a hurry.
"Now that you are judged."
Danzo waved his hand, "Grab this traitor!"
The twenty elite Shinobi behind Danzo flickered, instantly surrounding Kanpū and the others.
"Anyone who helps you will be regarded as a Missing-nin and be arrested together!" Danzo stared at Kanpū with a dark tone.
'Trying to scare me?'
Kanpū's face remained unchanged, and he said: "Danzo consultant, do you think you are Hokage? Whoever you say is a Missing-nin is a Missing-nin? Why don't you go to Hokage Tower to sleep?"
Danzo's heart was full of anger, and his cheeks twitched again, which made him more determined to 'cut the grass from the root'!
"Go!" Danzo issued an attack order.
In the next instant, twenty elite Shinobi immediately rushed to Kabuto.
