As the night grew darker, the lights in the Anbu's Headquarters were extinguished one by one, leaving only a few office lights still on.
The door on the first floor of the Anbu's Headquarters was slightly open, and the defense seemed to be lax. However, Orochimaru Hinata Taki, after disguising, were leaning against the dark corner in the distance, not daring to make any rash move.
After some time, a white head emerged from under their feet.
"How is it?" Orochimaru asked, looking down at White Zetsu's clone.
White Zetsu's clone tilted his head and said: "The whole building, including the underground, was covered with barrier, and there are also Konoha's Anbu guarding outside, so it's very difficult to sneak in silently."
"Then…" Orochimaru stared at the Anbu's Headquarters with twinkling eyes, full of malice.
"Orochimaru, although I don't mind you forcing your way into the Anbu's Headquarters, don't forget that we still have a mission." Taki hinted vaguely.
Their mission is to assassinate Mei after Kirigakure's envoys leave Konoha!
White Zetsu's clone felt that what Taki said makes sense, so he hurriedly nodded and said: "Taki is right, Orochimaru, I think it is better for us to wait outside Konoha."
"Hehehehe, according to the current situation, Kirigakure's people cannot live without Konoha for the time being, and this period of time…is enough." Orochimaru said with a gloomy smile.
"Enough?"
Taki asked, "Orochimaru, what's your plan?"
Orochimaru turned his head and looked at Taki with a weird smile: "My plan? Hehehe, it has already started."
Taki was puzzled.
On the contrary, White Zetsu's clone seemed to have thought of something, and asked aggressively: "Orochimaru, you couldn't have cloned yourself again when I was checking the Anbu's Headquarters, right?"
Orochimaru smiled without saying a word. He spent a long time in Anbu when he was young, so how could he not know the defense level of Anbu's Headquarters?
Letting White Zetsu's clone to go to investigate the Anbu's Headquarters is just an excuse to get rid of his surveillance.
Taki, who is next to him, suddenly realized, and immediately felt a sense of loss that his IQ was being wasted!
'To be manipulated by him right under his nose was just…'
'But it was really hard to guard against.'
Orochimaru hides in the shadows, and he can release a small white snake with his sleeves against the wall. Unless Taki keeps using Byakugan to monitor him, he won't be able to see it at all!
'But…'
'Orochimaru probably has no allies in Konoha anymore. Who can he find when he releases his clone?'
Taki pondered secretly.
…
In the dark corner, a small white snake crawled quickly, avoiding wild cats and stray dogs, and finally arrived at Danzo's house.
Climbing in along the window, the small white snake opened its mouth and sprayed out a wet Orochimaru.
Looking around the familiar living room with his golden vertical pupils, Orochimaru came to Danzo's bedroom door with familiarity.
At the same time, Danzo, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly woke up. He jumped like a rabbit from the futon and threw three kunai towards the sliding door.
Tock tock tock!
The kunai pierced through the sliding door and fiercely nailed into the opposite wall.
"Danzo, is this how you treat an old friend?" Orochimaru pushed open the sliding door little by little, and his golden vertical pupils slowly emerged from the darkness, looking at Danzo with a murderous intent at the moment.
"Orochimaru…" Danzo grabbed the bandage on his right hand with his left hand, as if planning to use the Wood Release contained in Tenzo's cells in his right hand.
Danzo originally wanted to transplant Hashirama's cells, but unfortunately, the experiment kept failing. In the end, he had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and transplant Tenzo's cells.
Although the transplant is successful and he successfully inherited two Wood Release Ninjutsu, the power is just average. However, it is not a problem to temporarily block Orochimaru, and get enough time for the Root's Shinobi from outside to come in.
"I'm not here to kill you."
Orochimaru put away the murderous intent in his eyes and said, "I want to enter Anbu's Headquarters to confirm something, and I need your help."
Danzo sneered and said: "Orochimaru, after what happened... I really underestimate you for having the nerve to say such things."
"Kirigakure's envoys came to Konoha for two purposes. First, is to claim compensation, and the other is to find Sanbi's whereabouts."
Orochimaru said with a nonchalant smile, "I suspect that Sanbi is in Anbu's Headquarters."
Hearing this, Danzo's pupil shrank: "Really?"
He knew that if this matter is really true, then Minato will be in a lot of troubles. Not only Kirigakure, but the rest of Great Shinobi Villages will never stand idly by!
After all, Biju is a strategic weapon to maintain the balance of the strength of Shinobi Villages. If Minato captures Biju for himself, there's no way other Shinobi Villages will let him go!
And it was Hashirama who distribute Biju to the rest of Shinobi Villages. And what Minato did is violating Hashirama's will!
There are so many troubles Danzo can create from this information.
Danzo was overwhelmed by emotions, and instantly feels that he is twenty years younger!
"How is it?" Orochimaru saw the look in Danzo's eyes and knew that this guy must have a lot of conspiracies in his heart, but wouldn't this be better?
The more chaotic Konoha, the more he can fish in troubled waters.
Danzo is an old schemer at any rate. After the initial excitement, he quickly calmed down. He lowered his eye, thinking about his plan and Orochimaru's goal. His thought revolves, and he slowly murmured: "I can help you, but… it takes time!"
Orochimaru squinted his eyes, and instantly guessed what Danzo was thinking, then said with a sneer: "You haven't changed at all, Danzo…"
"Happy cooperation!" Danzo put down his left hand, and his one eye faintly looked at Orochimaru.
...
Early the next morning.
Yamano Ichiro woke up from the futon at home, washed up, took out the fish soup he had stewed last night, and drank it expressionlessly.
This fish was bought from an ordinary fish shop in the wet market. Because the fish is cheap, this fish shop usually does a good business. There are many people buying from this shop, and he is just one of them, but!
This fish shop is also a secret contact point for the Root!
Yamano Ichiro goes to this fish shop to buy fish every ten days, and in the belly of the fish bought yesterday, there is the latest information from his Danzo-sama: 'He is allowed to absorb Genin's Chakra!'
'It's finally starting!'
After drinking the fish soup, Yamano Ichiro went to the convenience store where he worked before and quit his cashier job.
In the past, it was this cashier job that allowed him to come into contact with a large number of ordinary villagers, and then he used the Nue in his body to screen out those with negative Chakra. Those who were marked by Nue were like fireflies in the night, unable to hide, and eventually all fell into Nue's prey!
But from now on, his target is those Genin, and staying here any longer is just a waste of time.
After leaving the convenience store, Yamano Ichiro came to a barbecue restaurant. This barbecue restaurant is not large, but it is still well-known in Konoha. Many Genin like to come here to eat meat, drink, chat and play after completing the mission. It's simply a hunting place tailored for him!
After simply demonstrating his work efficiency, Yamano Ichiro successfully became an employee of this barbecue restaurant.
And the other nine Root's Shinobi are also using various means to come to places where Shinobi usually gather, such as barbecue restaurant, ramen shop, tavern, etc. There's even those who work in the public bath as a scrubber, just to get in touch with the aloof and remote Genin, and then… hunt their Chakra!
That is to say, from this night on, the number of patients in Konoha Hospital will no longer increase.
But the pressure of public opinion from the outside world has suddenly increased!
The previous night, the patients' relatives sat down in front of the Ichigo hot spring inn, and then Anbu's Shinobi surrounded the Ichigo hot spring inn and trapped Kirigakure's Shinobi inside. The next day, the number of patients in Konoha Hospital no longer increases. What does this mean?
Just think carefully about it!
