Red Bean told the Third Hokage everything without holding back, including how she was kidnapped that night and how the cursed seal on her neck was unlocked.
Finally, she added, "Yakushi Kabuto himself confirmed that he was Orochimaru's subordinate."
"Since Kabuto Yakushi belongs to Orochimaru, why is the Uchiha clan..."
The Third Hokage put down his pipe and gently gestured to stop him.
"Don't worry, I have it under control."
Hongdou asked in surprise, "You know?"
The Third Hokage was very satisfied with Anko's loyalty, but there were some inside stories he did not reveal to her.
"Yes, I know."
I'm very grateful that you could provide this information.
"But now you have to pretend you know nothing, understand?"
Hongdou thought quickly and had a vague guess.
"Could it be Orochimaru-sensei!?" Anko covered her mouth in surprise.
The third generation said discontentedly, "What did I just say?"
Hongdou realized what was happening and looked around furtively.
"Understood, Hokage-sama."
A relieved smile bloomed on Hongdou's face.
It turns out that the teacher was always a member of Konoha.
The Third Hokage said solemnly, "Anko, although this is your own speculation, this matter is highly confidential, and if it is leaked, it will lead to the deaths of many people."
·····Requesting flowers·········
Hongdou's smile faded:
"Understood, Hokage-sama."
I will take a vacation at home and not go anywhere.
The Third Hokage shook his head: "You were originally Orochimaru's student, why be so formal?"
Red Bean was stunned for a long time, then seemed to realize something: "I understand, Lord Hokage."
.....
Uchiha territory.
Although Kawasaki has delegated power to many people.
But there are still some trivial matters to deal with, and now he has gotten into the habit of carrying a pen with him.
After all, there are frequent needs for signatures.
Kawasaki is most often seen in offices and food streets.
Fortunately, he has a dream space where he can cultivate.
Unfortunately, time is synchronized between dreams and reality.
Kawasaki has been practicing Water Release techniques for some time now.
Since the last plan, he has been waiting for the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Mist Village to start a full-scale war.
The fog won't stop until it reaches the Yellow River; my heart won't give up.
They wouldn't ask for help unless they were severely punished by the Cloud Village.
Now that the Hidden Cloud Village is stirring up trouble, Itachi and Shisui have already gone to the front lines of the Hidden Cloud Village.
This operation will surely shock everyone.
In the village, the Third Hokage remained vigilant.
He then delegated some power to Orochimaru, but Orochimaru had no interest in it.
All affairs were handled by Shuimen, while he focused on his daily experiments.
Jiraiya roamed the red-light district every day, living a carefree life.
Although Orochimaru returned, Tsunade did not meet with him.
Tsunade must still harbor resentment towards Orochimaru for using the First Hokage's remains for experiments.
On the surface, Konoha appeared calm and peaceful, but this unusual tranquility made everyone uneasy.
The Uchiha clan once wished they could tear Danzo to pieces, but after Danzo escaped, the Uchiha clan made no move to do so.
It was as if this person was insignificant.
Like the calm before a storm, the hearts of many ninjas were heavy with suppressed emotions.
.............. 0
Itachi and Shisui's outing left everyone even more puzzled.
Unable to discern the true intentions of the Uchiha clan.
.....
As the time goes.
Xiao Nan suddenly visited.
On this day, Kawasaki was inspecting the food street.
The food street was bustling with people.
People who come to Konoha to commission missions or do business enjoy enjoying the food here.
Kawasaki felt like he had returned to the past.
Seeing the word "中华" (Zhonghua, meaning China) on many signs made him feel a little dazed.
How many years have passed without us realizing it?
Naruto was only five years old then, and now he's about to graduate from the Ninja Academy, around twelve years old.
Seven years.
The strange movement of the paper crane in his arms pulled Kawasaki back to reality.
Kawasaki walked into the woods and released the paper cranes.
They found Xiao Nan soon after.
Kawasaki saw Konan and quickly apologized: "Sorry, Konan, Danzo ran away."
Konan shook her head: "Don't take it to heart, Kawasaki."
As long as he's not in Konoha, there will always be a chance to get rid of him in the future.
After speaking, he handed him a ring and a set of Akatsuki uniform.
Kawasaki nodded. Since Minami didn't care, he wouldn't dwell on it.
Konan is right. The reason we couldn't kill Danzo in the past was because Danzo was hiding in Konoha. To take action, we had to enter the village first.
Konan's two visits were easy, but the Uchiha territory was not under Konoha's surveillance.
Furthermore, Kawasaki had Hyuga as an ally, which made destroying the Hokage Rock easier last time.
Kawasaki first put away the clothes, then took the ring and saw that it was engraved with the character "空" (empty), so it must be for Orochimaru.
Xiao Nan said, "With this ring, it will be much easier to contact each other after 893."
Kawasaki played with it for a moment and then bought it.
"Itachi and Shisui have already set off. Kumogakure has ascertained Kirigakure's true strength and will launch an attack soon. You must be prepared."
Konan nodded: "That's exactly what I wanted to say. Zetsu has already noticed the movements of the Hidden Cloud Village and is urging us to intervene in the war."
If Zetsu actively prompted Nagato to join the battle, it's possible that Obito's power upgrade was complete.
They even plan to execute the plan ahead of schedule.
"The attitude of 'seeing through everything' may indicate a desire to act ahead of time."
Zetsu and Obito may not yet know that the Three-Tails has been destroyed.
Konan said, "Nagato plans to personally go to Kirigakure to negotiate and lead this mission."
Kawasaki instinctively objected: "No."
"It would be inappropriate for you and Nagato to go there. If you take the initiative to visit them, they often won't take it seriously."
"As for the personnel to command the mission there."
Kawasaki patted the outfit Minami had given him: "You have a new member."
Xiao Nan's eyes widened: "You want to go?"
Kawasaki said calmly, "It depends on the situation. I might go myself, or I might send a clone."
Kawasaki is always cautious, and Konan agreed without asking any further questions.
"If this tendency exists, it means that Obito's strength has greatly increased after regaining his eyes; otherwise, he wouldn't be so confident."
Xiao Nan also seemed a little worried: "What do you mean?"
Kawasaki paced back and forth, deep in thought.
Obito's desire to collect the Tailed Beasts ahead of schedule indicates a significant improvement in his dual Kamui abilities, posing a threat to Nagato and Konan.
"You must be wary of Obito turning on you at any time."
After a brief pause, Kawasaki continued.
"What needs to be done still needs to be done. The Cloud Village is currently too powerful. Only by making them suffer will they curb their aggressive intentions."
"Let's gather our forces first; Kirigakure will be asking for help soon."
“I had previous interactions with Mei Terumi, and there were hints in the letter.”
“If the situation turns against her, she might come to me, and then I can lend a hand.”
