"Tell me what you've heard."

In the dark secret base of the root organization, as one of the three major advisors of Konoha and the leader of the root organization, Tuan Zang is sitting on a high position with his eyes slightly narrowed and his eyes closed, three years have passed, except for the right arm that is wrapped in bandages and hanging in front of him from some point to a particularly conspicuous appearance, I can see that the old man has changed much, his left hand caresses the right arm, and he patiently listens to the information collected by his subordinates to report to him as usual.

"Yes, Danzo-sama...... The first is the recruitment of newcomers to the root organization, as far as the shortlist you provide at present, the qualifications of the new generation of the oil girl clan and the mountain clan are quite qualified, and they all have certain potential worthy of training, but the specific recruitment target still needs to be selected by the Tuanzang lord in person. ”

"Is it the oil girl who drives the insects and the mountain tribe who master the secret art of the spirit? Well...... Yes, I'm worried that I don't have a place to add high-quality perceptual ninjas after provoking the conflict between the Hyuga clan and the village higher-ups before. Although the effect is far less than that of the white eye, it can only be used improvised. ”

Tuan Zang, who had more or less knowledge of the inside story and secret information of the forces of large and small clans in the village, pondered after hearing the list listed by his subordinates, and paused for a moment before nodding slightly with satisfaction, motioning to the person in front of him to continue.

"Your choice is expected by me, and it is the best option at the moment...... You've done a great job on this mission. ”

"Don't dare to be, everything is taught by Lord Tuanzang...... Then next, is the whereabouts report of the three generations of Hokage-sama. ”

The ninja wearing a strange pattern mask to hide his true face knelt silently in front of Tuan Zang like a statue, and it was not until he heard Tuan Zang's order that he slowly came out, even if he heard Tuan Zang's praise words, he still couldn't hear half of the sad and joyful changes between the remnants of his childish words, and continued to report his work progress to Tuan Zang as unpleasantly as a machine.

"According to the previous instructions of Lord Danzo, his subordinates lurked around the three generations of Hokage-sama day and night, and when the Hokage-sama left his post without authorization a few days ago, he also immediately followed and followed, among which the three generations of Hokage passed by the places where Hokage Rock, shopping street, and ninja school...... On the above occasions, it is a pity that due to the vigilance of the three generations of Hokage-sama, his subordinates were unable to keep a close track, and the whereabouts of the three generations of Hokage-sama were lost near the end. But what the subordinates can be sure of is that the last destination of the three generations of Hokage-sama before returning to the Hokage's office building, and the place where the three generations of Hokage-sama stayed the longest, was the No. 3 Wilderness Survival Training Ground. ”

"Wilderness Survival Training Ground No. 3? For no reason, how could the day chop suddenly remember that...... Who is it to meet? Have you seen anyone else enter this place other than Hizai? ”

"Please rest assured, since the third generation of Hokage-sama entered the training ground, his subordinates have always been squatting at the only entrance and exit of the training ground...... Until late at night the next day, no one had entered or left the No. 3 training ground, except for the three major Hokage-sama who had already returned to the Hokage Building. ”

"No one is in or out? How is this possible? Hearing this, Tuanzang's originally relaxed brows gradually furrowed, and he muttered to himself in a muffled voice while pondering, "No. 3 Wilderness Survival Training Ground...... You've been around the village for so long, what the hell are you doing? ”

Suspicious and suspicious by nature and reminded by the stimulation of ominous ominous instincts, Danzou naturally did not want to believe that his teammate who was entrusted with the important task of the Hokage by the second generation of Hokage was temporarily released from the Hokage's duties, and it was just a simple walk that did not contain any special meaning and was born on a whim...... But after much speculation and speculation, he could not find the slightest evidence sufficient to refute this established fact.

After all, he knew clearly in his heart that his subordinates had already become humanoid tools that would only obey his orders after being selected and cultivated by the root organization's brutal and bloody layers, and even if he ordered him to commit suicide now, he would not hesitate for a moment. In other words, there is not the slightest possibility of falsification in the information reported to him by his subordinates.

“…… Okay, I also have a general understanding of the intelligence, thank you for your hard work, go back to the day slash and continue to carry out the surveillance mission. ”

After waving his hand a little impatiently to signal his subordinates to leave, Tuan Zang rested his chin lightly on the back of his hand and frowned in thought.

"The intelligence is far from sufficient, is the root organization now lagging behind...... If you're really planning to plot something, you'll win a small game this time. ”

After racking his brains, he still couldn't guess the slightest hint of the abrupt action of grabbing the three generations of Hokage, and after a long sigh, he gave up and continued to torture his energy while doing useless work, the corner of his eye gradually stayed on his right arm that was tightly wrapped in bandages, and a cold and bloodthirsty light flashed under his eyes, muttering to himself.

"But don't get complacent too soon, wait until I get the power of the Sharingan...... The position of the Hokage belongs to me after all! ”

……

After leaving the base of the Root Organization, the masked ninja who had previously reported the information to Danzo was bathed in the cool sunlight of the early morning, and while raising his hand slightly to cover his eyes slightly, he looked around to make sure that no one else was following him, and then jumped up, and quickly disappeared into the dense woods in a few ups and downs.

As if it had been rehearsed countless times, the masked ninja bounced up and down to avoid the attention of most people, and quietly entered the office of the Miyome Hokage through the window. While reaching out to take off the mask on his face, he whispered to the smiling old man who put his hands on the strange crystal ball in front of him, as if he had been waiting for him for a long time.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Miyome Hokage-sama."

"Didn't I tell you that last time? If no one else is present, these superfluous etiquette are still waived......" Hearing this, the smile on the face of the third Hokage slowly moved his hand away from the crystal ball, and while looking at the gradually clear image inside the crystal ball, he asked softly, "So, what is the result?" ”

"Please rest assured, Shimura Danzou does not have any doubts about the information I have reported." Between the words, the ninja in front of the three generations of Hokage changed the stiff tone of the root organization, and while rubbing his hair a little lazily, he continued with a smile with crooked eyes, "But it's no wonder, after all, what I said is the truth, and I really haven't seen anyone enter or leave the main gate of the training ground except you...... Well, in this way, I guess I have a slight advantage in intelligence. ”

"Haha, Naruto, this little guy has really surprised me a lot, originally I thought about whether I should use illusions to temporarily modify your memories to cover up the traces of contact with this child, but I didn't expect Naruto's vigilance to be no worse than that of an adult ninja...... Even I began to wonder how the kid managed to get around the training ground without the main entrance, the only entrance. ”

After getting the information he wanted from the people in front of him, the three generations of Hokage breathed a sigh of relief, and while the corners of his mouth rose to praise Naruto's quirky little guy, he raised his hand and beckoned the person in front of him to come closer, and then refocused his gaze on the screen displayed by the crystal ball in front of him.

"Speaking of which, it's just the right time for you to come back, following the fact that the heir of the Hyuga clan was sent home a few nights ago as a human pillar representing the high-level of Konoha, which invisibly greatly alleviated the dissatisfaction and resentment of the Hyuga clan with the village, this kid has now successfully contacted Uchiha Fugaku's eldest son, Uchiha Itachi...... If Naruto's seemingly ridiculous prophecy comes true, Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui will be an important key to crushing Danzo's ambitions. Don't you want to see for yourself whether this young Uchiha Itachi is worthy of Naruto's admiration? ”

"After all, he'll join the Shadows in the near future, and become your teammate and subordinate, Kakashi."
