"Ichiro, since you don't know if I can learn the 'Sky Dance' in fifteen days, then why do you still stipulate that I can learn the 'Sky Dance Technique' within fifteen days!" Tsunade asked.

"Tsunade-sensei, fifteen days later, I'm ready to leave for the Hidden Ninja Village!" Hinata Ichiro said.

"Ichiro, if I don't learn the 'Sky Dancing Technique' within fifteen days, will you be able to go to the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village later?" asked Tsunade.

"Tsunade-sensei, as a teacher, do you want to set a bad example for me as a disciple?" Seeing Tsunade say this, Hinata Ichiro said excitedly.

For Hinata's agitation method, Tsunade was not fooled.

It's just that Tsunade heard from Hinata Ichiro's agitation that Hinata Ichiro was unwilling to delay the time to go to the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village.

"Okay!" Tsunade thought for a moment and agreed, "Ichiro, I promise you—I'll definitely learn the 'Sky Dance' in the next fifteen days!"

"Okay!" Hinata Ichiro said, "Tsunade-sensei, later, I will silently write down the cultivation method of the 'Dancing Sky Technique'!"

"Okay!" Tsunade said, "Ichiro, then you should hurry up and write out the cultivation method of the 'Dancing Sky Technique'!"

Subsequently, after Hinata Ichiro wrote down the cultivation method of the 'Dancing Sky Technique', Tsunade began to cultivate.

Seeing that Tsunade was focused on the cultivation of the 'Dancing Sky Technique', Hinata Ichiro left Tsunade's residence with gentle steps.

……

——————————

'Root' headquarters.

After coming out of Tsunade's residence, Hinata Ichiro went straight to the headquarters of 'Root', which was led by Shimura Danzo.

After letting the guards pass through, Hinata Ichiro, who had been waiting for a while, was allowed to enter the 'root' headquarters.

Led by the people of the 'Root' headquarters, Hinata Ichiro met Shimura Danzo in a room at the 'Root' headquarters.

"Hinata Ichiro, what are you looking for me?" After waving off the people from the 'root' headquarters who led Hinata Ichiro in, Shimura asked bluntly.

Seeing that Shimura Tunzo directly asked about his intentions, plus he had no friendship with Shimura Tunzang, Hinagi Ichiro also said his intentions straight to the point.

"Chief Shimura, I want to get in touch with Orochimaru through you!" Hinata Ichiro began.

Knowing that Hinata Ichiro came to find him in order to get in touch with Orochimaru through himself, Shimura Danzo's heart was shocked.

"Hinata Ichiro, since Orochimaru defected to Konoha, the connection between me and Orochimaru has been broken!" Shimura Danzo said with a blank face as he secretly pressed a button, "Therefore, if you want to get in touch with Orochimaru, then you shouldn't come to me!"

"Chief Shimura, why do Akito say secret words!" Seeing that Shimura Danzou was unwilling to admit the secret connection between him and Orochimaru, Hinata Ichiro said.

"Hinata Ichiro, you've found the wrong person to ask!" said Shimura Danzo.

"Chief Shimura, the fact that I want to get in touch with Orochimaru through you is just my personal opinion, not someone else's!" Hinata Ichiro said, "Therefore, there is no need for you to hide it at all!"

"Hinata Ichiro, I don't understand what you mean!" said Shimura Danzo.

"Chief Shimura, if you are willing to tell me how to contact Orochimaru, then I can pay a certain price!" Hinata Ichiro said.

"Hinata Ichiro, if you came to me to know how to contact Orochimaru, then you can go back!" said Shimura Danzo.

Hearing that Shimura Danzou let him go, Hinata Ichiro's eyes narrowed.

After a while.

"Chief Shimura, even if you don't want to tell me how to contact Orochimaru, I have a way to contact Orochimaru!" Hinata Ichiro said.

When he heard that Hinata Ichiro had a way to contact Orochimaru, Shimura Danzo's heart was shocked.

"Hinata Ichiro, since you have a way to contact Orochimaru, what are you doing here with me?" asked Shimura Danzou with a calm face.

"Leader Shimura, I came to you to ask about the way to contact Orochimaru, just to save some time—after all, I'm going to go to the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village in a short time!" Hinata Ichiro said.

"Hinata Ichiro, do you want to find Orochimaru before you go to the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village?" asked Shimura Danzo.

"Yes!" Hinata Ichiro said, "Chief Shimura, if I don't want to find Orochimaru before going to the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village, then I don't need to come to you at all!"

"Hinata Ichiro, the purpose of your search for Orochimaru is to ask Orochimaru to assist you in going to the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village to seek justice?" Shimura Danzo's face changed for a moment and he asked.

"No!" Hinata Ichiro said, "Chief Shimura, the purpose of my search for Orochimaru is not to ask Orochimaru to assist me in going to the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village to seek justice - after all, Orochimaru's strength can't deter the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village!"

Hearing Hinata Ichiro deny his speculation, Shimura Tunzo asked, "Hinata Ichiro, since you don't want Orochimaru to assist you in going to the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village to seek justice, then what are you looking for Orochimaru for?"

"Chief Shimura, my purpose in looking for Orochimaru is just to get Orochimaru to help me research a way to unlock the forbidden arts!" Hinata Ichiro said.

"A forbidden technique to unlock!?" Hearing this, Shimura Danzo's eyes froze, and he asked, "Hinata Ichiro, what kind of forbidden technique are you talking about?"

"I'm really embarrassed!" Hinata Ichiro said, "Chief Shimura, there's only so much I can say about forbidden arts!"

"Hinata Ichiro, can't you trust me?" asked Shimura Danzo.

"Hehe!" Hinata Ichiro chuckled softly and asked rhetorically, "Chief Shimura, how did you ever trust me?"

"Hinata, what do you mean by that?" asked Shimura Danzo.

"Chief Shimura, if you believe me, then why don't you tell me how to contact Orochimaru?" Hinata Ichiro asked rhetorically, "If you believe me, then why did you let the ninjas of the 'root' surround this room?"

"Hinata Ichiro, I'm talking to you here, how can you let the ninjas of the 'root' surround this room!" Shimura retorted.

"Chief Shimura, although my eyes are no longer white, my eyes still have the ability to white!" Hinata Ichiro said, "Therefore, there are some things that you can't hide from my eyes!"

Hearing Hinata Ichiro's words, Shimura Danzou looked at Hinata Ichiro's golden eyes.

Ten seconds later.

"No wonder!" Shimura Danzo, who retracted his gaze, said, "Hinata Ichiro, no wonder you who took the initiative to give up your white eyes did not have your marriage contract dissolved by the Hinata patriarch after losing your identity as the heir of the Hyuga family!"

"Hehe!" Hinata Ichiro just smiled at Shimura Danzo's words, neither affirming nor denying.

"Hinata Ichiro, since Orochimaru defected to Konoha, the connection between me and Orochimaru has been broken!" Shimura Danzo looked at Hinata Ichiro, thought for a moment, and said, "However, due to concerns about the potential danger of Orochimaru to Konoha, I have been letting the ninjas in the 'root' keep tracking down Orochimaru's whereabouts!"

After Shimura finished speaking, Hinata Ichiro thought in his heart, "It seems that Shimura Danzou wants to use this passage he said to cover up the unbroken connection between himself and Orochimaru. ”

Thinking of this, Hinata Ichiro followed Shimura Danzo's words and asked, "Chief Shimura, what have the ninjas in the 'root' gained after such a long search?"

"Hinata Ichiro, the ninjas in 'Root' haven't gained much from the news of Orochimaru's whereabouts!" Shimura Danzo said, "Now, I'll tell you some clues related to Orochimaru's whereabouts that the ninjas in 'Root' have traced - I hope you can find Orochimaru's whereabouts with the clues I told you!"

"Chief Shimura, will I be able to find Orochimaru with the relevant clues you told me?" asked Hinata Ichiro.

"Not necessarily!" said Shimura Danzo, "Hinata Ichiro, since Orochimaru has many secret bases, even if you follow the clues I told you to find Orochimaru, I can't guarantee that you will be able to find Orochimaru." ”

"Chief Shimura, with the relevant clues you told me, how sure am I that I will find Orochimaru?" asked Hinata Ichiro.

"Hinata Ichiro, according to my estimate, if you follow the relevant clues I told you to find Orochimaru, then you should have two to three percent certainty of finding Orochimaru!" Shimura Danzo said.

Hearing this, Hinata Ichiro's face changed.

Afterwards, Hinata Ichiro stared at Shimura Danzou and asked, "Chief Shimura, can you improve your certainty of finding Orochimaru?"

"No!" said Shimura Danzo, "Hinata Ichiro, since the ninjas in 'Root' only find these clues, I can't improve my certainty of finding Orochimaru!"

After hearing Shimura say that he couldn't improve his certainty of finding Orochimaru, Hinata Ichiro knew that Shimura didn't want to let him contact Orochimaru through him.

So, Hinata Ichiro said: "Chief Shimura, since you are unwilling to tell me the method of contacting Orochimaru, then I won't force it!"

"Hinata Ichiro, it's not that I don't want to tell you how to contact Orochimaru, it's that I really don't have a way to contact Orochimaru!"

"Chief Shimura, farewell!" said Hinata Ichiro, who was unwilling to entangle with Shimura Danzo more.

"Hinata Ichiro, before you leave, I have a question for you!" said Shimura Danzo.

"Chief Shimura, if you have any questions, just ask!" Hinata Ichiro looked at Shimura Danzou and said, "Only, I can't guarantee that I will definitely answer your question!"

Hearing Hinata Ichiro's last words, Shimura Danzo's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Hinata Ichiro, why do you think I'm still connected to Orochimaru?" asked Shimura Danzo.

"I'm sorry!" Hinata Ichiro said, "Chief Shimura, I can't answer you this question!"

Seeing that Hinata Ichiro refused to answer his question, Shimura Danzou shook his hand.

"Hinata Ichiro, since you don't want to answer, then I won't force you!" Shimura said, "You can leave!"

Subsequently, Hinata Ichiro, who walked out of the room, left the headquarters of 'Root' under the leadership of the people from the 'Root' headquarters.

After Hinata Ichiro left the headquarters of 'Root', Shimura Tunzo called in the ninja who was good at tracking in 'Root'.

"From now on, you're going to keep an eye on Ichiro Hinata all day!" ordered Shimura Danzo.

"Yes, Danzo-sama!" said the stalker who was called.

"When you spy on Hinata Ichiro, no matter where Hinata Ichiro goes, no matter who Hinata Ichiro goes to, you have to keep it in my heart!" Shimura said, "Got it?"

"Danzo-sama, I see!" said the stalker who was called.

"Also, remember to keep what you remember in your heart to keep it secret!" said Shimura Danzo, "You can't tell anyone else what you remember except me!"

"Yes, Danzo-sama!" said the stalker who was called.

"Hurry up and carry out the mission!" Seeing that everything that should be explained was finished, Shimura Danzou waved his hand and said, "Lest there be any omission!"

Hearing this, the stalking ninja who was called disappeared in one fell swoop.

After the summoned tracking ninja disappeared, Shimura Danzo whispered to himself as he walked, "Hinata Ichiro, I must find out where you know that the connection between me and Orochimaru has not been broken!"

……

——————————

Konoha on a certain street.

From the moment he left the headquarters of the 'root', Hinata Ichiro, who had five senses, noticed that there was a pair of eyes staring at him behind him - at first, Hinata Ichiro thought that the eyes behind him were not specifically aimed at him, but after walking out of two streets, Hinata Ichiro was sure that the eyes behind him were specifically aimed at him.

"Old fox, I originally thought that I could trade from you to contact Orochimaru, but I didn't expect that not only did I not trade from you to contact Orochimaru, but also made you wary of me!" Hinata Ichiro said to himself as he walked, "It seems that I really shouldn't contact Orochimaru through you!"

After talking to himself, Hinata Ichiro, who had looked left and right at the situation on the street, turned around and walked towards a secluded alley on the street.

Seeing Hinata Ichiro enter a remote alley, the follower's footsteps hesitated for a moment, but then followed.

……

In a secluded alley.

As soon as he entered the secluded alley, Hinata Ichiro turned on his 'discerning eye' - under the observation of the 'discerning eye', Hinata Ichiro immediately determined who was following him.

After determining who was following him, Hinata Ichiro continued to walk deeper into the alley as if he didn't know anything.

After using his 'discerning eyes' to see that the person who was following him also went deep into the alley, Hinata Ichiro's figure disappeared in an instant.

The next moment, the figure of Ichiro Hinata, who had just disappeared, appeared behind the person who was following him.

After a quick tap on a chakra acupoint somewhere where that was following him, Hinata Ichiro left the body of the person who was following him in a state of paralysis.

"Who are you?" Hinata Ichiro asked, "Why are you spying on me from behind?"
