Chapter Seventy-One: A Joy and an Emptiness
"Tiger" is almost frantically searching for Uchiha Itachi near the stations of Konoha and the Uchiha Itachi clan.
As a member of the "roots", he knows all about the methods of Danzo.
For those ninjas who fail to complete their missions, Danzou never hesitates to maintain his majesty.
Even the best ninja can, if he fails to complete the mission, there is only one end.
That is death ...
However, he had searched the entire village, but he still couldn't find the whereabouts of the Uchiha Itachi.
A hint of anxiety and uneasiness crept into his eyes.
Involuntarily, he began to worry about his fate.
γγγγγγγγ
Itachi Uchiha opened the folder in his hand with anticipation.
Behind him, Kakashi Hachiki also came over.
The doubts in his heart are no less than those of Uchiha Itachi, and compared to the fate of the Uchiha clan, he is more concerned about the cause of the death of the four generations of Hokage Wave Feng Shui Gate.
The pain of great disappointment was written all over two faces in an instant.
Both let out painful moans at the same time.
Because...
The folder is empty...
Nothing, not even a single piece of paper remained.
Uchiha Itachi was about to speak, but was stopped by Kakashi Hachiki with a look.
The snoring of the three guards had gradually subsided.
The dark data room became quieter and quieter.
"Let's go out first..."
Kakashi Hagi gestured at Itachi Uchiha in sign language.
He came with the hope of saving the Uchiha clan, but he could only leave with despair.
The two of them had their own agendas and quietly left before the three guards woke up.
Walk through the driving range, which still smells faintly choking with smoke.
The two returned to the office where Kakashi's team was.
"Who has the ability and guts to take away top-secret information like the Nine-Tails Incident...
Itachi Uchiha's voice was mixed with endless rage.
Looking at each other, two people thought of a name at the same time.
Tuan Zangγγγ
Looking at the entire Konoha area, only Danzou dared to ignore the ban of the three generations of Hokage Ape Fei Sun Slash and openly took away the top-secret documents without anyone daring to say anything.
"If you can't do it, don't force it..."
Kakashi looked at Itachi Uchiha with a worried gaze.
He could understand the Uchiha Itachi's determination to clear the suspicions of the Uchiha clan.
But if you want to get the information of the Nine-Tails Incident from Tuan Zang, it is simply an impossible task.
"Yes, Captain Kakashi."
Uchiha Itachi's face regained its composure, and he bowed deeply and turned to leave.
γγγγγγγγ
Minutes and seconds passed.
Konoha in the middle of the night, quiet and beautiful.
Except for the rustle of the leaves in the night breeze and the occasional lazy insect chirping or two, there is little else to be heard.
In Konoha Park, sparse street lamps illuminate the white mask of the tiger.
In this silent night, it looks a little scary.
The white mask could not stop the anxiety on the face of the "tiger".
His biggest fear right now was that the Uchiha Itachi would go missing, and he would face the fury of Danzo.
There was a slight chakra fluctuation behind him.
He quickly turned around and assumed a defensive stance to deal with an attack that could come at any moment.
What he saw, however, was a familiar face.
Itachi Uchiha...
"Bastard...
On top of the clenched fists of the "Tiger", the bursting green tendons vented his anger.
"Sit down and talk, I want to ask you a question...
Before he hesitated whether he should slap Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Itachi said lightly.
The clenched fists of the "tiger" gradually loosened,
"Just sit down, if you have something to say, say it quickly..."
He replied angrily.
"How old were you on the night the Nine-Tails attacked?"
Uchiha Itachi asked seemingly nonchalantly.
There was a puzzled look in Tiger's eyes, as if he was wondering why Uchiha Itachi would mention something years ago.
"You should have been young at the time, but I witnessed the death of the four generations of Hokage, and I was the only witness who was really present...
Uchiha Itachi said to himself.
"I'm curious about what the truth of the Nine-Tails incident is, who wants to kill the fourth Hokage?"
He looked at the "tiger" who stayed aside, smiled bitterly and shook his head,
"I'll tell you what to do. You are just a small person in the 'roots', and you will not have access to such top-secret documents ... β
"Tiger's" lips moved slightly, but he didn't open his mouth to fight back.
"See you tomorrow, then. You've worked hard today, go back and have a good rest, you don't have to follow anymore... β
The Uchiha Itachi waved at the Tiger in good faith, leaving the Tiger alone in the spot.
After a moment, looking in the direction Uchiha Itachi had left, "Tiger" stomped his foot hard and, as usual, followed him from a distance.
γγγγγγγγ
The top-secret documents of the "Nine-Tails Incident" are indeed in the hands of Tuan Zang.
Even though "Tiger" didn't say a word, Uchiha Itachi read everything from his body language.
Danzou is not the third generation of Hokage apes to fly to the sun, and the "root" is not the dark department.
The Shadow Department is a semi-public underground organization, nominally an organization that directly belongs to the three generations of Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash, but in fact it is not only subject to the command of the Hokage, and the rest of the Konoha high-level also have considerable influence in the Shadows.
"Root" is a different story.
As the darkest part of Konoha, "Root" is entirely a private institution of Danzo.
Here, Danzo is the master of everything.
Without permission, an ordinary ninja may not be able to approach that eerie underground structure for the rest of their lives.
It is even more impossible to steal top-secret documents from the headquarters of the "root".
Of course, Uchiha Itachi is not an ordinary ninja, but the number of times he has entered the "root" is also only a handful, and every time he enters under the initiative of Danzo.
Even so, every time he could feel the murderous intent hidden in the darkness.
Uchiha stops water...
It was the first name that came to his mind.
He quickly shook his head, overturning his thoughts, and a wry smile drifted across his cheeks.
With the strength of him and Uchiha Shisui, it would be too much to underestimate Danzo and "Root" if he wanted to infiltrate the "root", and then find the documents and leave safely without a clue.
If you can know the hiding place of the "Nine-Tails Incident" document, maybe there is a glimmer of hope...
His gaze inadvertently fell on the body of the "tiger" not far behind him, trying to hide his tracks in the dark.
It seems that I can only wronged you again...
He cast an expectant glance into the darkness helplessly.
As if there was some kind of ominous premonition, the "tiger" in the dark couldn't help but shiver.
