"A Cloud Village ninja who claimed he wasn't a Cloud Village ninja ran up to the village's cordon."
"After comparing the portraits, it can be almost confirmed that he is the current Jinchūriki of Kumogakure."
"Now, they are under surveillance and control by the secret service."
After confirming with the secret service subordinates once again.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression gradually became strange...
This news is truly shocking.
Even though Hiruzen Sarutobi had experienced many ups and downs, he still found it hard to believe.
The Anbu (Anbu) possesses detailed profiles and information about rogue ninja, important missions of enemy countries, and even rogue ninja from enemy countries.
Moreover, for such a person, the report would not be submitted so urgently unless it was confirmed repeatedly.
After all, if not handled properly, it could lead to war between the two countries.
But that's not the point.
The key question is... how could someone so important to Kumogakure suddenly end up in Konoha?!
I don't know why.
Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but glance at the Uchiha girl in front of him...
Qingchuan, who had not yet left, was also trying his best to control his expression, heartbeat, and the countless thoughts running through his mind.
At this distance, even if the secret agent spoke in a very low voice and in a very concealed manner, he could hear everything clearly.
Moreover, he said it twice.
even.
Even if he didn't hear it at all, he probably knew what was said!
There's no other reason.
That goofball... has come to Konoha.
He sensed it!
Even in a place like the Konoha Building, surrounded by the presence of the Anbu, he could still recognize that obvious presence not far away!
"Third Hokage, I shall take my leave now."
Qingchuan suddenly wanted to slip away.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, whose mind was no longer on the matter, simply nodded casually.
"Go, Haruko."
"have a good rest."
Hiruzen Sarutobi, who hadn't forgotten to maintain his image as a good grandfather, gradually darkened his expression after the little girl left.
"Hidden Clouds..."
"What on earth is going on?"
We left the Hokage Building.
Qingchuan's pace gradually quickened!
The plan has changed.
He's now... a little hesitant to go to the Dark Guard base for training.
Whoever wants to go can go!
He's definitely not going!
What if I arrive at the destination and am recognized the very next day...?
How embarrassing would that be?!
Qingchuan decided it would be best to hide for a couple of days.
If Yunyin loses Xiong Er, Xiong Da will definitely be looking for him.
Given the current situation in Konoha, it's estimated that before long, Bi will be obediently sent to Kumogakure.
At that time, the Hidden Cloud Village will surely send people over to negotiate and retrieve their Jinchūriki!
Aoyama no longer had time to think about negotiations between the two villages.
What he had to do was... avoid Xiong Er as much as possible!
To prevent the talks from falling apart, or from collapsing before the talks even begin, so that he won't be implicated!
"These days... how come it's almost impossible to find a path to cultivation through honest practice?!"
With a furious curse, Qingchuan accelerated his advance.
Heading straight for their hideout, without stopping for a moment along the way!
...
Thump.
Thump.
Thump.
Not long after.
Accompanied by the sound of a cane striking the ground.
The Hokage Building soon welcomed another Hokage.
The one-eyed half-mummy Danzo was followed by more than ten Root members, each exuding the same chilling aura. They walked aggressively down the corridor of the Hokage Building.
Bang!
Danzo pushed open the door and went straight to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
There was such urgency in their eyes!
"Sarutobi! I heard the Anbu captured the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki?!"
"What are your plans?"
Danzo's tone was even more intense than his gaze.
Moreover, it was only on occasions like this that he would seek the opinion of his old friend...
This is the tacit understanding between the two over the years.
Internally, Danzo always acted first and reported later.
It is undeniable that everything he did in the past was paving the way for his comrades and consolidating his power and prestige.
Although this original intention has gradually changed, its external stance has remained consistent...
Let's discuss it!
"To be precise, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki was not captured by the Anbu."
Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at his old friend with a slight headache, tossed forward the text intelligence recently sent by the Anbu, and then took another puff of his cigarette.
"I'm waiting for you to come and make a decision… otherwise, there will be too many voices in the elders' meeting, and it will be difficult to handle."
"What's so difficult about it?" Danzo, now slightly calmer, only glanced at the intelligence report.
He already knew these things, so there was nothing to ponder.
"Do you not understand the significance of possessing two of the strongest tailed beasts at the same time, Sarutobi!"
Danzo had not been so eager in a long time.
Even the child who obtained A last time, the one who inherited the power of the first generation.
He was just relieved.
But this time is different!
Konoha's current situation... is indeed no longer as powerful as it once was.
Once upon a time.
The Nine-Tails, the strongest tailed beast, was nothing more than a pet that the First Hokage casually suppressed in Konoha...
But gradually.
The Nine-Tails' strategic significance to Konoha has become the same as that of other villages.
Increasingly important!
This is Konoha's tragedy.
but....
If we can get an eight-tailed fox on top of the nine-tailed fox.
All sorrow... is gone!
Konoha will once again usher in its glory in this era, in his era!
Danzo Shimura roared.
He had been waiting for this day for so long...
He knew it too.
My old friend has been waiting for this day for just as long!
"Don't worry, Sarutobi."
Danzo tilted his head, and his burning gaze gradually sharpened!
"Once you make your decision, no one in the entire Hidden Leaf Village can stop you..."
"I said it!"
