On the sea.
Two sea ships gradually approached.
Akihara Kagura looked at the deck of another sea ship and saw a group of familiar ninjas with masks on their faces and wearing standard Konoha ANBU uniforms.
These people are ninjas to the core.
Following the orders of Shimura Danzo, this group of root ninjas have been following Hatake Kakashi, Akihara Kagura and others, trying to establish a communication channel with Akihara Kagura.
"People at the root..."
Hatake Kakashi didn't have a good impression of the root, frowned and said: "Come here at this time, are they here to take over the Mizukage?"
"wait a second."
Akihara Kagura quickly jumped onto the ship of this group of root ninjas, and a tall man in the leader was scolded bloody before he could speak.
"What are you doing for food!"
"What were you doing while I was fighting!"
"Did you come to the Country of Water to travel, take photos, check in and buy specialties?"
"Danzo-sama told me that someone would contact me at any time, and you contacted me at this time? I have done everything, and you showed up?"
"Not even as good as those two guys, Kakashi Hatake and Itachi Uchiha, at least they can still help me wave the flag and cheer for me!"
"A bunch of trash!"
"I really don't know why Danzo-sama raises you!"
"..."
This group of root ninjas were so scolded by Akihara Kagura that they couldn't hold their heads up.
However, Akihara Kagura was also born in the root. During her time in the root, she was too lawless. Most of these root ninjas were used to this brat's arrogance, and they never thought of refuting.
The leader, the Nebe squad leader, waited until Akihara Kagura finished scolding him before he spoke carefully: "According to Danzo-sama's order, we have been following Kagura-sama and are ready to contact Danzo-sama at any time upon your order..."
result…
It was very hard for them to keep up with Kakashi Hatake's team along the way, and they couldn't find any chance to contact Akihara Kagura alone.
"When we return to the Country of Fire, send one of you to go back to Konoha first and tell Lord Danzo the situation here first. The rest of you will follow us."
Akihara Kagura commanded the root ninja and ordered: "I haven't found the rebel ninja Uchiha Obito, but I captured the fourth generation Mizukage Goju Yagura of Kirigakure Village. He still has three tails in his body. We are On the way back.”
"clear!"
The leader of the root squad nodded quickly.
"..."
It was the first time that Hatake Kakashi saw someone dare to treat the root ninja like this.
This group of guys at the root relied on Shimura Danzo's power and refused to obey anyone's orders in Konoha. They were even a little arrogant towards the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.
No one wants to come into contact with root ninjas. These guys have always been lawless. People didn't expect them to be so well-behaved in front of Akihara Kagura...
"..."
Uchiha Itachi was even more stunned.
Because Uchiha Itachi had a conflict with Genbe, he had seen these guys kill a companion in the village in front of him and Uchiha Shisui.
The tall and strong squad leader who had arrogantly clashed with him and Uchiha Shisui back then was being scolded by Akihara Kagura so that he bowed his head and did not dare to say a word.
After Akihara Kagura finished scolding these root ninjas, he returned to his ship and saw the somewhat silent Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Itachi.
"It turns out that they will also become obedient..."
Hatake Kakashi sighed quietly.
In the beginning, Kakashi Hatake had a conflict with the root ninja in order to rescue Tenzo from the root, and he saw with his own eyes how rampant these guys were.
"They were not obedient in the first place."
Akihara Kagura spread her hands indifferently and explained casually: "As long as you pay some attention to them and teach them how to get along with you, it is enough. They are all doing things for Danzo-sama, and no one is inferior to anyone else. ."
"It seems that the way you teach them is somewhat unexpected..."
Kakashi Hatake's eyes were a little strange.
"Want to join Root?"
Akihara Kagura warmly invited Hatake Kakashi: "As long as you join the Roots, you will find one thing, the Root ninjas are all a bunch of trash."
"..."
Then why should I join the root!
Kakashi Hatake's eyes looked even weirder.
Two sea ships arrived at the port of the Land of Fire. One of the root ninjas rushed on the way first, and the remaining root ninjas gathered around Akihara Kagura.
Hatake Kakashi realized that Shimura Danzo might interfere with Mizukage's affairs, so he immediately left Akihara Kagura and Uchiha Itachi behind, and rushed on his own to report the affairs of Kirigakure to the Third Hokage in advance, and let the ordinary ninjas at Konoha sentry If he goes to report the news, he will probably be intercepted and killed by Shimura Danzo.
Akihara Kagura doesn't care about these high-level disputes.
A group of root ninjas gathered around him to help solve the problem of survival in the wild, enjoying their rare vacation on the road.
Inside Konoha Village.
Shimura Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen all received the news.
The Konoha ninja captured the Mizukage of Kirigakure Village. For them, this was much more exciting than capturing the traitorous ninja Uchiha Obito!
This time, the two old men had the same idea, and planned to personally pick up the Fourth Mizukage Goju Yagura, for fear that something unexpected would happen in the process.
Shimura Danzo wants to control the Fourth Mizukage Gotachibana Yagura in his own hands. How much information about Kirigakure Village does the Mizukage of Kirigakure Village have in his mind? How much profit can Konoha extract from it? Maybe even Can force Kirigakure Village to become a vassal of Konoha!
Sarutobi Hiruzen believes that the political significance of the fourth generation Mizukage Gotachibana Yagura's entry into Konoha will be greater than the short-term intelligence gains. Once handled, it will become an ice-breaking trip between Konoha and Kirigakure Village, allowing Konoha to Ye and Kirigakure formed an alliance.
Konoha and Sunagakure Village formed an alliance after the Third Ninja World War. In addition, Kirigakure Village also entered into an alliance with Konoha. If the three major ninja villages become allies, they can completely suppress the imminent Kumo Hidden Village and Konoha Village. The powerful Iwagakure Village.
"Your Excellency Mizukage of Kirigakure Village is still the Three-Tailed Jinchuuriki..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little regretful about this trouble, and sighed and said: "If this Mizukage-dono is really willing to stay in Konoha temporarily, as a guarantee for the alliance we can conclude with Kirigakure Village, and want to resettle him , it’s a big trouble!”
"never mind."
Sarutobi Hiruzen can't ask for too much.
For Konoha, this was a good thing after all.
Just find a way to endure for a while, wait until the alliance between Konoha and Kirigakure is solidified, and the external troubles in Iwagakure and Kumogakure are completely suppressed, and then you can return the Mizukage-dono to Kirigakure.
"Yes, there is one more thing."
Hatake Kakashi specifically mentioned to Sarutobi Hiruzen about the root ninjas following them: "The root ninjas have been following our team, and now Hokage assistant Shimura Danzo should also have received the news."
"I see."
Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for less than a second before he ordered an ANBU beside him: "Go and convey the Hokage's order to Danzo Shimura, and ask him to lead the ANBU to guard against enemies from Iwagakure and Kumogakure villages sneaking into the Land of Fire. , I will never allow anything to go wrong in my meeting with Mr. Mizukage."
"yes!"
An ANBU ninja immediately went to deliver the order.
"Okay, Kakashi, let's go."
Sarutobi Hiruzen put on his Hokage hat, adjusted his god robe, and said, "If it's a little later, Danzo will come to the Hokage Tower."
"..."
Hatake Kakashi nodded silently.
Everything was exactly as Sarutobi Hiruzen expected.
The order given by Sarutobi Hiruzen made Danzo Shimura furious.
At this critical moment, Shimura Danzo already knew Sarutobi Hiruzen's weak thoughts, and immediately rushed to the Hokage Tower to argue with Sarutobi Hiruzen, but the building was already empty.
