The next day.
Cold Wind woke up early and rushed to the third changing room in the bathhouse. About half an hour later, Kakashi, Tenzō, and Itachi Uchiha arrived one after another.
Itachi Uchiha appeared expressionlessly as usual. He changed into the Dark Ops uniform and put on his mask. He didn't say a word the whole time.
After joining the Dark Ops, he had been trying to find out the truth behind Waterstop's defection. Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, it was useless. It was as if there was an invisible wall that kept him away from the truth. He couldn't even move an inch!
As for his family, the people didn't understand, complained, and cursed him. Fortunately, Sasuke was there, so he could rest his heart.
Cold Wind secretly looked at Itachi. He wanted to get closer to him, but when he thought about what he did to Itachi before, it was better to stay away from him.
"Everyone is here."
Kakashi looked around and said lazily, "New mission, for the next period of time, everyone will be working under Advisor Danzō's Root. On the surface, everyone will listen to Danzō's orders, but our real goal is to get the confidential information of Root, as well as the locations of the secret laboratories, research bases, and stations that Root has built in the village. Do you all understand?"
"Yes!"
Everyone answered in unison.
"Then let's go." Kakashi's figure flashed as he led the way to Root's headquarters.
Tenzō consciously followed Cold Wind and asked softly, "Brother Moonlight, does Naruto -sama want to disband Root?"
Cold Wind thought for a moment. Tenzō had been in Root for a while, so he might have some feelings for him. So he said very tactfully, "Advisor Danzō's way of doing things is too extreme, which makes Root do things without any scruples. If it's during wartime, Root's existence will play a positive role, but during peacetime … "
Cold Wind didn't continue, but he believed that Tenzō would understand.
"Actually, I felt it when I was in the Dark Department."
Tenzō said in a low voice, "Root's selection is very strict, even cruel. Many young children have died in the training … If it weren't for my Wood Release Bloodline Limit, I would have died in the selection."
Cold Wind patted his shoulder and changed the topic, "Tenzō, you've been in Root for a while. Do you know the location of those secret laboratories?"
Tenzō nodded. "When I was in Root, my code name was' A '. I often followed Danzō on missions, so I know a little about it."
Cold Wind was startled. He was just asking casually. He didn't expect there to be real information.
But then, he felt that things would not go so smoothly.
It took several years for Tenzō to leave the Roots and join the Dark Group. How knowledgeable would Danzō be to move the 'Ox Head Heavenly King' to the secret laboratory that Tenzō knew about?
But just in case, he still had to go and take a look.
Cold Wind immediately created seven or eight shadow clones and asked them to search according to the location provided by Tenzō.
When Cold Wind and the others arrived at the remote Root headquarters, Cold Wind's shadow clones had also disappeared. The result was just as Cold Wind expected. They found nothing.
As expected, Danzō, the old fox, would not reveal such a childish flaw.
"How is it?" Kakashi walked to Cold Wind's side. He saw Cold Wind and Tenzō's secret conversation and the shadow clones, so he could guess a thing or two.
Cold Wind shrugged and shook his head. "I didn't find anything."
Kakashi said, "Minato-sensei said that Danzō might have been prepared. I'm afraid this mission won't be so easy."
Cold Wind looked at Itachi Uchiha, who was standing alone not far away, and whispered, "Why don't we ask him to use Genjutsu to ask?"
As for who to ask, of course, it would be the Root ninjas.
Kakashi shook his head. "Root ninjas have curse seals on their bodies. Even if we use Genjutsu to confuse them, there is no way to get them to tell us the information that is bound by the curse seals."
And with Danzō's experienced means, he will definitely include the secret laboratory and other places in the scope of the curse seals.
The two didn't talk much when Danzō came out of the three-story building with two rows of Root ninjas.
Although the resignation of Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura made Danzō extremely passive, but thinking that as long as the Tauren succeeds, he will be able to take control of the Wood Leaf Organization, Danzō suddenly felt that a temporary loss is nothing. After a night of rest, Danzō has returned to his usual calmness.
"Danzō -sama." Kakashi took two steps forward and bowed.
Cold Wind and the others also followed suit and bowed to Danzō.
Danzō nodded expressionlessly and said, "Kakashi, you and Tenzō are responsible for protecting me. The rest of you will be responsible for guarding the headquarters. Come in with me."
Danzō didn't ask who agreed and who disagreed. After saying this sentence, he turned around and returned to the headquarters.
Kakashi and the others looked at each other and had no choice but to follow him in slowly.
After entering the three-story building, Danzō pointed to the Anbu and said, "The three of you are responsible for guarding the first, second, and third floors."
When they arrived at the entrance of the underground headquarters, Danzō picked another Anbu. When they arrived at the headquarters, Danzō assigned the rest of the Anbu one by one.
It's unknown whether Danzō deliberately arranged it or it was an accident. In short, Cold Wind and Itachi Uchiha were assigned to guard the same area.
Compared to Itachi Uchiha, Cold Wind obviously prefers Tenzō. After all, Tenzō is a "treasure" youth who has the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai.
It's a pity that Danzō took this "treasure" youth as his own. He didn't give anyone a chance to touch him.
"Danzō -sama, other than guarding the headquarters, is there nothing else?" Kakashi asked in a low voice.
There are two goals in this mission, the first is the secret information of Root, and the second is the secret laboratory established by Root.
Danzō let Cold Wind and the others stay here, indicating that he is confident that Cold Wind and the others won't be able to find any secret information, but in this way, Cold Wind and the others won't be able to leave Root's headquarters and go outside to look for the secret laboratory.
Danzō smiled. His smile was a bit bitter, a bit happy, and a bit sad. It was very complicated, but also very happy. He slowly said, "Root was originally an Anbu training organization, but many years ago, it was no longer responsible for the training of Anbu ninjas. During the war, Root was responsible for spying on the enemy country's intelligence, planting spies everywhere, and assassinating and sabotaging activities. But now that the shinobi world is peaceful, Yondaime-sama reduced Root's funds and manpower. In this case, it's very difficult for Root to maintain undercover operations, so Kakashi, what do you think Root can do now? "
Kakashi under the mask rolled his eyes. He didn't believe Danzō's nonsense, but his attitude was proper, so he respectfully said, "So that's how it is, I'm sorry for being presumptuous."
While talking, Danzō walked out of Root's headquarters and strolled around.
Kakashi and Tenzō had to hide in the dark to protect him.
As for Cold Wind, Itachi Uchiha, and the others, they stood in Root's headquarters, responsible for patrolling and guarding here.
Itachi Uchiha was still angry with Cold Wind, so he didn't speak to him from beginning to end, not even making eye contact.
Cold Wind thought to himself: Who isn't a baby?
Therefore, he ignored Itachi Uchiha and patrolled the complex underground headquarters by himself, at the same time observing the movements in each room.
When Cold Wind sent the Byakugan clone to invade Root's headquarters, he used the Byakugan to observe the terrain here. It was very big, and there were many messy rooms, but most of them were abandoned. It was probably due to the lack of funds and manpower in the past few years, which caused Danzō's Root to be short of manpower.
Cold Wind gently opened the door of a room and turned on the light. There were seventeen to eighteen cardboard boxes in the empty room, and there were spider webs in the corner. It looked like it hadn't been used for many years.
However, Cold Wind clearly remembered that the last time he came here, there were four Root ninjas gathered together. Although he didn't know what they were doing, it definitely wasn't like what he saw now!
Cold Wind went up and looked through the cardboard boxes, but he didn't find anything.
His heart sank.
Danzō first arranged for them to patrol here, and then left casually. It was obvious that he wanted Cold Wind and the others to be at ease and investigate boldly.
'Danzō really came prepared!'
Cold Wind knew that there wouldn't be any results even if he continued to investigate, but he still held on to the hope that he would be lucky. He looked through the boxes one by one like an obsessive-compulsive disorder. Cold Wind awkwardly waved his hand to greet them, trying to ease the atmosphere. Unfortunately, they ignored him and continued to patrol according to the fixed route.
Cold Wind took a deep breath. As a spy, he really needed to be thick-skinned.
Cold Wind reflected on himself and continued to search. After that, when he met the Root ninjas again, Cold Wind turned a blind eye to them and searched in front of them. He had improved a lot.
At noon, Root started to eat. He didn't know if they did it on purpose or if they were really poor. In short, the food was very bad. Although it was enough to fill his stomach, it didn't taste good. It was only better than the soldier food pills.
During the meal, the members of the sixth team whispered to each other, and in the end, no one found anything.
Cold Wind suddenly thought of the information room that was burned down by his white-eyed shadow clone. Could it be that all the confidential information of Root had been burned down by him?
This was too heart-wrenching!
Imagining Danzo's livid face at that time, Cold Wind's appetite was suddenly aroused. He couldn't help but take out his own food and eat it with Root's food.
At the same time.
Naruto Building.
Sarutobi and the Anbu Captain Eagle were having a private conversation.
An invisible seal was covering the office to ensure that the conversation inside wouldn't be leaked.
"Have you found any clues about the theft of the forbidden library?" Po Shui Mun asked.
Eagle shook his head and said: "According to the investigation of the Anbu, Danzō often sent people to secretly provoke the Uchiha Clan, but there is no evidence that he used the Uchiha Clan to invade Naruto Building."
"Have you screened the Uchiha Clan?" Po Shui Mun asked again.
"The screening has been completed."
"There are a total of 43 ninjas in the Uchiha Clan who have awakened the three tomoe Sharingan. At the time of the theft, 14 of them were in the police force, 23 of them were sleeping at home, and the whereabouts of the remaining 6 cannot be confirmed." So, Kuroto nodded.
Po Shui Mun looked at the document for a long time, and naturally, he didn't have a flash of inspiration.
Putting down the document in his hand, Po Shui Mun said: "Eagle, next, investigate the Hyuga Clan."
"Huh? What? "Eagle was stunned.
"Some time ago, the Hyuga Clan invaded the Root Headquarters." Po Shui Mun frowned.
"The Hyuga Clan invaded the Root Headquarters …"
Eagle was shocked: "The Hyuga Clan invaded the Root Headquarters, and the Uchiha Clan invaded the Naruto Building, are these two things related?"
Po Shui Mun's face was dignified: "I hope I'm overthinking."
These two clans are the real giants of the Wood Leaf Clan.
Po Shui Mun currently has two guesses. First, the two clans joined forces to prepare for the mantis to stalk the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
The mantis is Po Shui Mun, and the cicada is Danzō!
Uchiha Tomiyama may take the opportunity to eliminate Po Shui Mun and Danzō's wariness, and then join forces with the Hyuga Clan to turn the tables!
As for the second guess …
Hyuga, Uchiha …
Byakugan, Sharingan …
Kekkei Genkai …
The Abyss!
