Bai Yu, Ying Ren, Zhisui and Itachi had a great time chatting and laughing.
More than two hours passed quickly.
Although Bai Yu did not tell Ying Ren the true identity of his incarnation, when Ying Ren went to the Uzumaki clan before, he told Ying Ren that Uchiha Issei was an absolutely trustworthy person, so Ying Ren did not hesitate at all. He chose to trust Bai Yu and Uchiha Issei.
Recently, Bai Yu has made great progress in the research on the 'Caged Bird' curse seal, so he meets with the British frequently.
Of course, he also knew about the surveillance of ANBU ninjas, but he had no intention of hiding it. This was the effect he wanted.
At this time, in the shadow of the roof, one of the root ninjas said to his companions: "You continue to stare here, I will report to Mr. Danzo that the Uchiha people and the Hinata people have been in too close contact recently. ”
"Yes." Another root ninja nodded and continued to stay in place to monitor.
Since the Uchiha clan supported the Uzumaki clan and jointly defeated the Kirigakure Village, the Uchiha ninjas have seen Bai Yu's strong strength and courage as a leader, and they have a lot of affection for the Uzumaki clan.
And this is exactly the situation that the top management of Konoha least want to see. The reason why they sent people to support the Uzumaki clan was mainly because they had to go because of the covenant constraints.
Anyway, the Uchiha clan has always been at odds with the higher-ups, and has been hostile to the Uzumaki clan since the Warring States Period. The higher-ups are happy to let them do such a thankless job.
It's just that the higher-ups never expected that the Uchiha clan and the Uzumaki clan would have a tendency to reconcile.
Moreover, there are calls among the Uchiha clan to leave Konoha and join the Kingdom of Whirlpool. Although this group of people is relatively small, this is a very bad trend.
In addition, recently Uchiha Issei, the top powerhouse of the Uchiha clan, and Hideto Hyuga, the powerful man who separated from the Hyuga clan, have met frequently. Although they may only meet frequently because of personal friendship, at such a sensitive time, they With this kind of performance, the top management will inevitably think about whether Uchiha will collude with the Hyuga clan.
Back then, Uchiha and Hinata had briefly cooperated in order to help Hatake Sakumo come to power, so they had to guard against it.
The more critical point is that maintaining the stability of other ninja clans against Uchiha has always been the key to Danzo's power.
Danzo knew that Hiruzen Sarutobi was also afraid of Uchiha, but he had been wavering on the Uchiha issue, so Danzo himself 'made the decision without permission', which not only served the interests of Hiruzen Sarutobi, but also made him happy when he needed a blush. Bai Lian, the good guy did it, and the bad guy was naturally done by Danzo himself.
But Danzo doesn't care about this. Since the Orochimaru incident and the Golden Horn and Silver Horn incident, Sarutobi Hiruzen has returned to power. It's good that he can retain the power at his roots. The position of Hokage must be planned slowly.
The Sharingan of the Uchiha clan is the key to Danzo's rise again.
After obtaining the Sharingan from his former teammate Uchiha Mirror, Danzo truly felt the power of the Sharingan. Especially after witnessing the power of Uchiha Fugaku Mangekyo Sharingan at close range, he had suppressed his thoughts towards the Uchiha clan. Can't stand it anymore.
Although the current Uchiha clan has reached another peak in strength, as long as they are still in Konoha, Danzo will have a way to slowly control them.
With the strength of the Uchiha clan, it is actually difficult for the surveillance of the root ninja to avoid the perception of their strong leader. However, Danzo always grasps a certain scale. It seems a bit excessive, but not too outrageous. He is constantly testing the Uchiha clan. bottom line.
Although the leader of the clan, Uchiha Fugaku, was also very angry, he always played in the middle and kept the clan members calm.
...
The root ninja quickly went to notify Danzo. After learning that Danzo had gone to the Hokage Building, he came to the door of the Hokage's office.
"Danzo-sama, Sandaime-sama." The root ninja said respectfully.
"Come in."
Danzo's slightly deep voice came from the Hokage's office.
The root ninja pushed the door open and saw the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen sitting behind his desk, and Danzo beside him. He came to Danzo, knelt down on one knee and saluted respectfully.
Danzo frowned slightly and winked at his subordinates.
After noticing Danzo's gaze, the root ninja felt a chill in his heart and turned his body slightly to face Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Since the White Fang incident and the Orochimaru incident, the relationship between Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen has become a lot more estranged. The gold and silver horns lost control and caused the fourth generation Hokage Namikaze Minato to be seriously injured and comatose. Danzo's pigtails were completely destroyed by the ape. Hiruzen tightened his grip and could take away the power in his hands at any time, so Danzo was much more at ease now, and he also became active on Uchiha issues.
"Third generation sir, we have recently been ordered to monitor the movements of the Uchiha clan and found that Uchiha Issei and Hyuga Hideto have frequent contact. Today, Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi also met with them. They talked together for several hours. ..."
The root ninja described the scene he saw during today's surveillance.
"I understand, you go down." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.
"yes!"
The root ninja stood up, bowed slightly, then used the teleportation technique and disappeared into the office.
"It seems that Uchiha really wants to collude with the Hyuga clan."
Danzo said solemnly.
Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head slightly and said: "Duanzo, you cannot conclude that Uchiha and Hinata are colluding just because they sit together and chat. They are both ninjas from the same village. Their personal behavior should not be elevated to the entire ninja clan."
Danzo fell into silence after hearing this, and then said: "Hiruzhan, don't forget that Shisui is now a member of the Roots. Although he seems to be very aware, there is no guarantee that he is not a spy sent by the Uchiha clan.
Shisui has learned a lot of confidential information about the village. If Uchiha colludes with Hinata again at this time, what consequences will happen? You should know better than me, right?
If the Hyuga clan really has no intention of uniting with the Uchiha, then they should remain the same as before.
It seems that we have given too much preferential treatment to the Hyuga clan, which makes them have different intentions. It seems that it is time to give the Hyuga clan a beating. "
Sarutobi Hiruzen opened his mouth, but he didn't agree, but he didn't object either.
He just wanted to retire peacefully, but in the end, the Golden Horn and Silver Horn incident happened, causing Minato to be seriously injured and comatose. Minato might have dared to do things that he didn't have the courage to do originally, but after Minato fell into coma, he deeply felt that he was unable to do what he wanted.
The situation Danzo mentioned was exactly what Sarutobi Hiruzen was most worried about.
The Uchiha clan itself has a criminal record. If Uchiha Madara hadn't rebelled against Konoha and finally seriously injured the first Hokage Senju Hashirama, causing the first Hokage to die of injuries shortly after returning to the village, Konoha would have been able to survive. Under the protection of the first generation, it will develop steadily for another twenty years.
"Hizu is a measured person. The people of the clan will take care of the branch family. We don't want to interfere too much." Sarutobi Hiruzen said thoughtfully.
"Don't worry, I know what to do."
...
Outside the meatball shop.
"Issei, I'm going back first." Hideto Hideto waved at Bai Yu, then looked at Shisui and Itachi and said: "Shisui, Itachi, let's eat meatballs together next time."
"good."
"Goodbye, senior Yingren."
Shisui and Itachi also waved goodbye to the British.
Looking at the sunset reflecting the entire sky, Itachi looked at Shisui helplessly. This meal of meatballs took too long, and the time to practice with Shisui might be shortened a lot.
"Zhisui, come with me, I want to tell you something." Bai Yu pointed to the alley in front of him on the right.
"Yeah." Shisui nodded.
Itachi opened his mouth, but stopped talking.
Zhisui noticed Itachi's expression, smiled sheepishly, and patted Itachi's shoulder gently, "Itachi, I have something to do today, training matters, let's do it next time."
There was a trace of disappointment in Itachi's eyes, but he quickly adjusted his mood and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, let's do it next time. Brother Shisui, your matters are more important."
"Goodbye then." Shisui waved to Itachi and trotted towards Bai Yu.
Itachi curled his lips slightly and looked at Bai Yu's back.
Since Shisui entered ANBU, the time he spent with him has dropped sharply, and there is also Issei (White Feather) who shares Shisui's free time with him.
In fact, Itachi can also approach his father Uchiha Fugaku for training matters. After all, Fugaku is now the "only" strong man in the Uchiha clan who has opened the Mangekyō Sharingan, and is much stronger than other clan members.
It's just that Fugaku always had a preaching attitude when he was with him, and his three sentences were inseparable from the fact that he wanted to bring glory to the clan.
So Itachi preferred to stay with Shisui.
Not only because Shisui takes care of Itachi like a big brother, but more often because Shisui can help Itachi who is good at thinking about problems.
...
Konoha's 51st year has quickly come to an end.
December 20th is seven days away from the 3rd birthday of Hinata, the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan.
According to the tradition of the Hyuga clan, on the day when a new member of the clan turns 3 years old, a group of children from separate families will be branded with the Cage Bird Curse, and among this group of children, the best ones will have the opportunity to become new members of the clan in the future. Personal escort.
As the eldest and only daughter of the clan leader, Hyuga Hinata is likely to succeed the clan leader in the future, so her third birthday naturally receives great attention.
Many ninjas who were friends with the Hyuga clan sent congratulatory gifts. In addition to high-ranking officials from the Land of Fire, even officials from other countries came to attend the banquet. This was the reputation and connections of the ancient wealthy Hyuga clan.
In comparison, the Uchiha clan, which was able to compete for supremacy among the Thousand Arms clan during the Warring States Period, seemed to have no cards.
Mainly because although the Hyuga clan treats its own people, especially branch families, very harshly, it has always been friendly to outsiders and has made many good friends. Therefore, its reputation is naturally greater than that of the more powerful Uchiha clan.
What was unexpected was that Kumogakure, which had a truce and alliance with Konoha but had never resumed trade and close exchanges, suddenly sent a mission to establish a closer alliance with Konoha.
Konoha suffered heavy losses in the three wars. First, it lost Shiroha and Kushina, and then Orochimaru defected. Namikaze Minato, the top powerhouse of the new generation, was seriously injured and fell into coma. The biggest winner of the three wars was no longer Konoha Village. , the status of the overlord of the Konoha ninja world is also somewhat unstable.
It’s just that the Uzumaki clan, Konoha’s ally, recently joined forces with Uchiha to severely damage Kirigakure Village, allowing the world to see Konoha’s strength again. Now, Konoha Village takes the initiative to send people to strengthen the alliance, which is a rare opportunity for Konoha Village. good news.
Therefore, the top management of Konoha attached great importance to this. The Third Hokage personally received the Kumogakure envoy, and then sent Jonin squad leader Nara Shikaku to receive several people.
On December 26, the day before Hinata Hinata's birthday party, Bai Yu, who was far away from the Uzumaki clan, received bad news from his subordinates.
Bang!
Bai Yu slapped the table and stood up, the desk instantly burst into pieces.
"What did you say? Shion is missing?!"
"Yes...yes." The ninja who came to deliver the message lowered his head nervously and said hesitantly. The terrifying aura exuded by Bai Yu rushed towards his face, making him feel like he was about to suffocate.
"I understand. You should go back first and inform Maitreya so that she doesn't have to worry. I will handle this matter."
Bai Yu quickly regained his composure.
"Yes." The messenger ninja bowed respectfully and quickly left the office as if he was receiving an amnesty.
Bai Yu was able to understand that Zi Yuan was safe through blood induction.
It's just that she can't sense her exact location because she keeps moving and is obviously taken away by someone.
You have to keep getting closer to lock Ziyuan's position through blood.
Kodama wants to continue to monitor the Akatsuki organization, so he is still in the Kingdom of Rain.
Yekura is a ninja who pretended to be a wanderer and defected, waiting for an opportunity to join the Akatsuki organization.
Bai Yu had ordered Kakuzu and Xia to stay in the Kingdom of Demons some time ago. With the strength of the two of them, although they were unable to fight against top powerhouses like the Third Tsuchikage Onoki, ordinary Kage-level ninjas were no match for them.
Even a perfect Jinchuuriki who had mastered the power of the tailed beast would not be able to steal Shion silently under the noses of the two of them.
The previous actions of Yanyin Village were all tentative. Bai Yu released some signals. The other party learned about the relationship between the 'Snake Spirit' Medical Group and the Uzumaki Clan, so they should not do such a thing.
"I want to see who dares to do such a thing without risking life or death!"
Bai Yu's eyes were cold, and his mental power was about to enter the 'crystallization' stage. The murderous aura he exuded seemed to be materialized, and the temperature of the entire office dropped accordingly.
Although Bai Yu has no feelings for Maitreya, Ziyuan is his blood descendant after all, so he also left some back-ups on Ziyuan.
Since the demonic items on Ziyuan's body were not triggered, it meant that her life was not in danger at the moment.
As long as the demonized item is activated, Bai Yu can determine its location based on the spiritual imprint he left inside, but Bai Yu doesn't want this to happen.
Since the other party kidnapped Ziyuan, it must be for profit, and it is unlikely to directly harm Ziyuan.
Bai Yu felt irritable in his heart.
Kaka...
Cracks gradually appeared in the surrounding walls and floors, quickly spreading throughout the room like a spider web.
Noticing the movement, Bai Yu activated the "Clarity Technique" to calm down.
Ever since he learned the "Clarity Technique" and created the "Aura Potion", he has not been affected by the emotional impact of the biological instinct in his blood.
But this time, his murderous heart seems to have awakened.
Because the emotions are so strong, even the "chain of emotions" seems to be triggering automatically.

ps: I will recommend it at the meeting tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so I will write more and finish this big plot.
