"What exactly is the reason? Did Hanzo say something, or is it something else?"
Danzo felt a bit stuffy in his chest. He couldn't figure out the situation, but this sudden investigation left him somewhat flustered.
Admittedly, he was slowly regaining Root's power, but could that compare to the Hokage?
And this sudden investigation would bring everything to a halt. How could he still aspire to get the position of Hokage?!
"No, this can't go on."
Danzo slammed his fist on the table, he felt he had to do something.
If this continued, he would inevitably lose everything. How could he then achieve his dream of becoming Hokage?
"Especially since Hiruzen not only brought Jiraiya back, but Tsunade also returned…"
Just thinking of those two made his scalp tingle.
Originally, he thought Jiraiya was his biggest enemy, so he had been delaying Jiraiya's progress.
However, to his surprise, Hiruzen didn't even glance at him, instead bringing Tsunade back.
"Perhaps, I should go see Hanzo, or talk to Orochimaru face-to-face." Danzo made a decision.
He hadn't considered talking to Hiruzen. But upon discovering that his old friend had quietly begun investigating him, his heart was filled with disappointment.
Although he had done many things, such as attempting to assassinate his old friend, hadn't all that passed?
"Doing this now fully indicates his distrust, and with Tsunade and Jiraiya present, it also shows he will never let me become Hokage."
"Therefore, I can only resort to some special measures."
Whatever decision Danzo made, it didn't concern Takemi much.
His life was still going very well, especially since he had thoroughly tested his Spirit Orb technique.
"The effect is quite good. Although Kisame's will is very firm, this technique depends on the strength of Chakra."
Participating in Kisame's interrogation was not a big deal, Inoichi was very good to him.
Probably because he was a regular customer of Yamanaka Flower Shop.
Moreover, he was the one who had defeated Kisame, so this matter was even simpler. His request to speak with Kisame alone was granted.
"It's just, why did they even turn off the surveillance cameras for me?"
The technology in the Ninja World was actually a bit bizarre. He didn't know if it was skewed, but there were many strange things.
Surveillance cameras were like that. If he remembered correctly, the Uchiha clan's compound used to be entirely covered by them.
Although he wanted to avoid surveillance when talking to Kisame alone, it was absurd for them to actively turn it off for him. What kind of person did they take him for?
"However, they really know how to judge people."
Without the restriction of surveillance, Takemi's actions became much simpler. He easily injected the Spirit Orb into Kisame's body.
He could clearly feel that Kisame's will was indeed under his control. As for whether this technique counted as a genjutsu, he couldn't say for sure.
"Anyway, as long as I want to, I can control Kisame, and even get his thoughts?"
This technique was more interesting than puppet control techniques. Although he didn't know the range of this technique, there were no problems so far.
"The Akatsuki is interesting, planning to cause trouble in Konoha. But this is even better…"
Takemi stroked his chin. He was just thinking of initiating a big plan and unexpectedly, they delivered themselves to his doorstep.
"It's just that Obito is still very cautious. He didn't say too much specifically, only stating that they are targeting Danzo?"
Using Danzo as an excuse was baffling, but Konoha was making various preparations.
"Also, the planet chakra is becoming clearer and clearer, and I can do something now."
He had always been thinking about the planet chakra, but extracting it was much more difficult than he had imagined.
He had also tried to extract it using 'Sacrificial Alchemy,' but there was almost no reaction.
"It might be a problem with the bloodline's development, or a problem with the god tree source, but everything will be ready soon."
Takemi was full of confidence, but after a few weeks, he couldn't smile anymore.
"What are you two doing?"
At Takemi's house, looking at the uninvited Naruto and Sasuke, he had a headache.
"Weren't you either on missions with Kakashi-sensei or studying with Pervy Sage?"
"Tch, don't even mention Pervy Sage, that old man is so annoying." Naruto pouted, speaking with some unhappiness.
"He keeps nagging me about researching Chakra all day, it's so annoying, and there's still no result."
Sasuke was exceptionally well-behaved in front of Takemi, and he spoke earnestly, "Because you temporarily withdrew, the missions Kakashi-sensei assigns us now are very simple."
"There's no difficulty at all. He even gave us the day off today, so we wanted to invite you, Takemi-senpai, to hang out."
"Huh?"
Takemi was stunned, opening his mouth with a puzzled expression.
"Today? Hang out? Why?"
"When we completed our first mission, we didn't even celebrate. You and Kakashi-sensei went to handle other things."
Naruto pursed his lips, speaking unhappily, and Sasuke also nodded beside him.
"So, Naruto and I decided to invite our former classmates, and you, Takemi-senpai, to hang out together. They'll be coming later."
"I see, that's not bad…"
Takemi nodded knowingly, so that was what it was about.
After completing the first mission, there would usually be a celebratory meal.
It was just that Takemi had other matters, and Kakashi had just been reprimanded, so naturally, it didn't happen.
Later, Naruto had his own things, and Takemi temporarily left the team, so it kept getting delayed until now.
"They should be researching Naruto's parents' Chakra within him, right?"
Takemi hadn't forgotten that he had mentioned it to Hiruzen. He hadn't expected them to be so efficient.
"Alright, but why gather here at my place?"
"Tch, Karin's coming too, and she'll come here when she gets back, won't she?"
Naruto grumbled unhappily. He and Karin had always bickered, but he quickly became curious.
"Takemi, can you tell us about your mission experiences?"
"Huh?"
Takemi was puzzled, he didn't know why they were asking this, but Sasuke also widened his eyes, full of curiosity.
"I heard Pervy Sage say you're super amazing, but when I asked him, he told me to ask you myself." Naruto scratched his head, speaking honestly.
"So, can you tell me about it?"
"And also, how did you train, Takemi-senpai?" Sasuke couldn't hold back either, asking softly.
"I've always longed to kill Itachi, I…"
"I've always been training with Kakashi-sensei. If you don't believe me, just ask someone else."
Before Sasuke could finish, Takemi interrupted.
"Actually, Kakashi-sensei is very reliable. You won't have any problems if you train with him. You just graduated, and I've been graduated for so long."
These things were not secrets, it was well-known that he had been 'slacking off' with Kakashi.
"As for my resume, you should ask Hokage-sama. I myself have almost forgotten what my resume looks like."
Having experienced so much over the years, he himself had forgotten what missions he had done.
Anyway, they all seemed not difficult?
