Chapter 700: Building Momentum
Land of Grass.
Over Kusagakure, a black goshawk screamed and soared in the air. It flew out in S-pattern and then in 8-pattern, acting arrogantly and unruly as if there was no one around.
“That’s…”
In the corner of Kusagakure, Kakashi looked up at the goshawk. His expression changed slightly, and his figure turned into an afterimage in a flash and rushed over to where the goshawk was.
At the same time, the remaining members of the Anbu’s sixth team, including Tenzo, Itachi and the others, who were conducting secret inspections throughout Kusagakure, also rushed over after seeing the flight path of the goshawk.
Since leaving Konoha a few months ago, Kakashi has led the sixth team to search for the whereabouts of Kirigakure’s Missing-nin, Hoshigaki Kisame and Kusagakure’s Missing-nin, Zetsu, but unfortunately, nothing has been found.
Kakashi refused to admit defeat, so he took Tenzo and the others to Kusagakure, hoping to find about Zetsu’s information here, and then analyze Zetsu’s patterns of action, but unfortunately, after a few days, they actually could not find any information related to Zetsu!
It’s as if Zetsu has never lived in Kusagakure.
Until… this goshawk appeared.
This goshawk is an emergency signal for Anbu to contact their member. Anyone who sees it must rush to the gathering point as soon as possible!
After a while, Kakashi, Tenzo, Itachi and the others came to a small jungle.
“Are everyone in the sixth team here?” The goshawk soaring high in the sky stopped flapping its wings and slowly falling, and its sharp iron claws clung tightly to a branch.
Kakashi wasn't surprised when he saw the goshawk eagle could talk, after all, his dog could talk too.
“Does the headquarters have any other instructions?” Kakashi asked coolly.
“Hokage-sama’s latest order, all members to go back to the village!” The goshawk flapped its wings and slowly took off, then it said, “I’m going to inform the other teams, goodbye.”
When the goshawk flew away, the people in the sixth team looked at each other.
“Notify the other teams?”
“Hmm, that means Hokage-sama intends to recall all the Anbu who are doing mission outside the village, right?”
“Did a war break out?”
“I haven't heard of any disputes in the Shinobi World.”
“Will someone invade the village?”
“Stop arguing, something big must have happened in the village.”
Kakashi’s eye turned serious, “Everyone, get ready and go back immediately!”
“Yes!”
…
Land of Fire.
Konoha.
Root’s underground headquarters.
Today, Danzo came to work full of energy again.
As an Advisor, Danzo actually has his own fixed office space, which is an office on the second floor of the office building next to Hokage Tower. Unfortunately, although Danzo has the position of advisor, the power in his hands is basically empty. With the half-dead Root, how can it be necessary for him to go to the office building?
However, as long as the dream does not slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties. Danzo believes that in the near future, he will be able to counterattack and reach the peak of his life!
“Danzo-sama!” A Root’s Shinobi suddenly came over in a hurry.
“What’s the matter?” Danzo asked steadily, pulling his flabby old face.
“I just received the information from ‘Ten Bull’ that Nue can finally absorb Shinobi’s Chakra!” The Root’s Shinobi knelt down on one knee and reported respectfully.
Hearing this, Danzo was overjoyed, but his face showed no expression, and he ordered coldly: “Tell them to pay attention to safety and target Genin first, and… we can start building momentum!”
“Yes!” The Root’s Shinobi replied, then turned around and merged into the darkness.
……
That night.
Konoha Hospital.
A grieving and angry female relative seemed to be unable to bear the torment of her loved one being in a coma, so she screamed and howled.
“Why, why didn’t Konoha Hospital save my father-in-law!”
“My father-in-law is such a good person, why?”
“It's all because of Kirigakure’s Shinobi, all of this is Kirigakure’s Shinobi’s fault!”
“After they came to the village, my father-in-law fell ill. They must be the one who caused it! Why doesn’t Hokage-sama deal with Kirigakure’s Shinobi?!”
The women’s grief-stricken and angry voice aroused the dissatisfaction of many patients’ relatives. When they gathered together, their voices became louder and louder, and more patients’ relatives come to them after hearing the noise!
“Let’s go, let’s go to Ichigo hot spring to do a sit-in demonstration!”
“Yes, we must let Hokage-sama know the seriousness of this matter!”
“We will never leave until the Kirigakure’s Shinobi are dealt with!”
Everyone said something to each other, then they majestically and grandiosely rushed to the Ichigo hot spring inn where Kirigakure’s envoys are staying, and prepared to hold a sit-in demonstration.
“Damn it!”
In the darkness, an Anbu looked at the backs of these people with a depressed face.
He was ordered by Eagle to stay in Konoha Hospital. During this period, if he found someone spreading unfavorable rumors, he would immediately arrest them. However, Konoha Hospital was so big that by the time he arrived after hearing the voice, the female relative had already gathered dozens of people, and there are more and more people coming. At this time, as Anbu, if he publicly arrested this female relative, it would not only cause great dissatisfaction and protests from the rest of the patients, but may even discredit Yondaime Hokage, so he can only watch these people leave.
‘No, I have to tell Commander this news immediately!’
The Anbu turned around and hurried towards the Anbu’s Headquarters.
……
It was already half an hour later when Minato received the information about Ichigo hot spring inn’s matter!
At this point, Namikaze Minato knew that it’s useless to be anxious, so he asked Eagle to call Hiruzen, Shikaku, Kanpū and ‘Kanpū’.
At around eight o'clock in the evening, Minato and the other five people gathered in the small conference room.
Next, Minato cast a barrier to isolate the small conference room and prevent the sound from leaking out.
“Speaking of which…”
Shikaku looked at Kanpū and ‘Kanpū’ strangely, and asked, “Why are there two Kanpū?”
“It must shadow clone.” Hiruzen took a puff from his pipe.
“One person is stupid, two people are wise!”
Kanpū said said, “Now, I am twice as smart as before!”
The face of ‘Kanpū’ next to him twitched upon hearing this, but there was nothing he could do about it. Before Minato nodded, he can only appear as Kanpū’s shadow clone.
Minato interrupted them and said: “You all already know about the sit-in demonstration, do you have any thoughts?”
Kanpū glanced at Eagle, with a little grievance in his eyes: “Commander Eagle, I have obviously reminded me before…”
“There is nothing we can do about it.”
Eagle also showed wronged expression, “Konoha Hospital has too many patients. The consequences of arresting people in front of them are too serious.”
“Isn’t it enough to arrest people as a Root’s Shinobi? matter how serious the consequences are, Advisor Danzo will take the blame, right?”
Kanpū shook his head with disappointment and said, “Or let the Military Police Force take the blame?”
“Cough.” The ‘Kanpū’ next to him coughed dryly and glared at him angrily: ‘You really think I don't exist! How can you tell my clan to take the blame when I’m right here! You’re too much!’
Shikaku took a deep look at Kanpū and said: “Although I don’t quite agree with your idea, if time can be turned back, that is indeed the best solution.”
What else can Eagle do? He can only bite the bullet and apologize: “Sorry, Hokage-sama, I was not thoughtful enough!”
Minato waved his hand and said: “Now is not the time to talk about this. Let's discuss how we should deal with this matter.”
Shikaku then said: “Let’s investigate that female relative first. Since she is causing trouble at this time, it is likely that she has made contact with the Root!”
“Regarding Kirigakure’s envoys… can you ask them to leave the village temporarily?” Hiruzen smoked his pipe and made a comment.
“But we all know that Advisor Danzo has been behind this matter from the very beginning. Asking Kirigakure’s envoys to leave will not solve the problem.”
Kanpū disagrees with Hiruzen’s proposal. After all, this kind of temporary solution is not effective. It’s not a method to treat the root cause and just divert attention…
Kanpū sighed, and secretly thought, ‘Sandaime is indeed old, otherwise, how could he be willing to drive away such a beautiful woman like Mei?’
