"Is the current question related to whether we did it together? The question is who released it and does the other party have any purpose? And you care about this?! I really misunderstood you, Hiruzen! "
Danzo laughed back angrily and scolded the Third Hokage.
"Ah... Sorry, there are too many things today, and my mind is a little confused."
Hiruzen also reacted, now is not the time to be entangled in this, but who is behind the scenes to promote all this, this time One Tail Jinchūriki disappeared in Konoha, is it also one of the other party's plans?
"What do you think?"
Hiruzen looked at Danzo, hoping that this old friend would come up with countermeasures.
"There is no doubt that there is a big net rushing towards us now, and the purpose is naturally to target you...or me, or the entire Konoha, especially at this critical time when the Chūnin exam is held."
"First there was Orochimaru, then there was the disappearance of Jinchūriki, and then there were rumours spread to Konoha, any one of them will bring shock to Konoha, and even your Hokage position, whether you can sit down smoothly will be a problem.
Danzo said analytically.
"Yeah, the enemy is in the dark, we are in the light... Especially now that Anbu's entire power is being pulled by Sand Shinobi, there is no time to find the other party, and your roots are not strong enough at this time...
Hiruzen is aware of the seriousness of the problem. As Danzo said, whether his Hokage position can be kept at that time is still the second, and more importantly, whether Konoha can withstand the sudden storm.
It would be great if someone could help me, Jiraiya...Hiruzen suddenly remembered that Jiraiya and Tsunade were in Konoha? Wait, Jiraiya said yesterday that he was leaving?
"Anbu!"
"Hokage-sama! Danzo-sama!"
"Go find Jiraiya and tell him to meet me when you find him!"
"Yes!"
Hiruzen anxiously ordered, Jiraiya can't leave Konoha at this time, he hope there is still time.
"Jiraiya?"
"Yes, Jiraiya and Tsunade are back, but Jiraiya said yesterday that he will leave again, and now I don't know if I can catch up."
Hiruzen sighed.
"If Jiraiya is here, the chances of winning will be a bit better, but what about Tsunade?"
'Danzo' was puzzled, Tsunade is here? Why didn't he know?
"Tsunade's whereabouts are not yet known, but he and Jiraiya fought in the Forest of Death and the traces left behind are undoubtedly Katsuyu."
'It turned out that Summoning Katsuyu of the main body was regarded as Tsunade.' thought 'Danzo'.
"In short, the top priority now is to find One Tail Jinchūriki first, and I'll go back to the root to make arrangements. As for the rumours, the only people who knew about them back then were you, me, and a few old guys who were alive. It doesn't matter."
'Danzo' played down the handling of the rumours to lower the vigilance of the Hiruzen, which would allow more rumours to ferment and then completely submerge the Hiruzen without him knowing how.
"That's fine."
Hiruzen nodded, agreeing with Danzo.
And indeed, he and Danzo were the only ones who knew what happened back then. Danzo could not have betrayed him. To betray him was equivalent to doing something to him. Only the old Senju clan left behind because of a trace of guilt might have guessed a little.
But since the Senju clan is gone, what can they do?
"It seems that the souls of Senjus are not willing to be lonely anymore... When we find Jinchūriki, we will completely sweep them into the dust of history."
…
"Kakashi!"
Kakashi was heading home to organise his ninja tools in order to locate Gaara's, when someone intercepted him.
"You are... Jiraiya-sama! When did you come back?"
Kakashi saw Jiraiya and asked in surprise.
"Just came back for a few days, how is it, is the book good?"
Jiraiya came over and said with a smile.
Originally, he planned to leave last night, and this Konoha had nothing worth nostalgic for him, but a sudden incident made him stay.
"It's wonderful! When will Jiraiya-sama release a new book? I've read these books several times."
Kakashi said while showing the "Icha Icha" book that was about to be broken by him.
"Haha, I'm writing, I'm writing, I came to you for something."
Jiraiya was very happy to see that Kakashi liked his novel so much, and then he started talking about business.
"What's the matter, Jiraiya-sama?"
"Do you know where Naruto lives? I want to find him."
"I know, wait a minute, I'll go back and get something."
Kakashi is not surprised that Jiraiya is looking for Naruto, after all Naruto is the son of his teacher, Minato who was Jiraiya's apprentice.
"Speaking of which, Jiraiya-sama, you would definitely be very surprised if you knew how good Naruto is now!"
Kakashi's words made Jiraiya smile bitterly, not only surprised, he was almost crying.
…
"Where here, above is Naruto's home, Jiraiya-sama, I won't go up with you since I still have tasks."
"Okay, go get busy, the task is important."
Jiraiya nodded, and at the same time he sighs in relief. After all, he didn't want Kakashi to know about his fight with Naruto.
/KNOCK/.
"Who?"
"It's me."
Naruto opened the door and let Jiraiya in.
"Is there anything Jiraiya-sama wants from me?"
Naruto asked, pretending to be ignorant, he guessed that Jiraiya should have come for Sage Fukasaku, after all Sage Fukasaku did not return to Mount Myōboku and his wife, Sage Shima should be very anxious.
"That...I want to ask Naruto, where did you transfer Fukasaku-sama?"
He was about to leave last night, when a communication frog came up to him suddenly and told him that Fukasaku was missing and hadn't come back, and asked him to ask Naruto if his Flying Thunder God had a problem.
"Ah? I just transferred Sage Fukasaku to a place marked on Konoha Street? What's wrong?"
Naruto asked suspiciously.
"However, after being transferred away by you, it stands to reason that Fukasaku-sama should have cancelled the Summoning technique and returned to Mount Myōboku, but last night, Shima-sama told me that he never came back. Naruto, your Flying Thunder God... It shouldn't have been a failed transfer, right?"
Jiraiya looked at Naruto suspiciously.
He wondered if Naruto used time-space ninjutsu to lock up Sage Fukasaku, but he also went to that time-space, and there was nothing in it, and even if it was time-space, cancelling the summoning Jutsu could also be used to go back to Mount Myōboku.
Jiraiya even used the Summoning technique several times, and a few toads were called out, but only when summoning Sage Fukasaku he failed.
"Impossible, you have also experienced my Flying Thunder God, there is absolutely no transfer error, I did transfer Sage Fukasaku to Konoha Street. As for why he disappeared, could someone catch him? As far as I know, in Konoha, several people have disappeared, especially One Tail Jinchūriki. He is now missing."
"One Tail Jinchūriki disappeared in Konoha too?!"
Jiraiya looked at Naruto in astonishment, he really didn't know the news, even though he saw several groups of ninjas passing by early in the morning, he didn't think in this direction.
