Hokage's office.
Listening to the report by Kakashi and others, the third generation remained silent while smoking his pipe.
The expressions on the faces of the three consultant elders who were watching were all different at this moment.
When she went to bed, Koharu's brows almost knitted together, and her eyes were full of confusion. The news Kakashi brought back not only did not dispel her doubts, but made her even more confused about the disappearance of the ninja.
Mito Kabuto looked thoughtful.
The strangest thing was Danzo. He lowered his eyes, and those who didn't know thought he was dozing off.
After a long time, the third generation waved his hand: "Kakashi stays, the others go out."
Asuma hesitated for a moment, then turned around and left the Hokage's office, followed by Kurenai Yuhi and Aoba Yamashiro.
After all his teammates left the office, Kakashi bowed to the third generation and apologized: "I'm sorry, I couldn't catch up with that person this time."
The one Kakashi was referring to was, of course, Itachi.
The third generation has some regrets.
If Kakashi can connect with Itachi this time, all mysteries may be answered.
After turning to bed, Koharu couldn't help but ask: "What's going on with the Akatsuki organization? Why have they absorbed so many S-class rebellious ninjas? What do they want to do?"
Mito Monohan glanced at Danzo: "Danzo, I remember that you have dealt with this organization called 'Akatsuki' before, right?"
Danzo seemed to have come to his senses only after being questioned by Mito Menyan by name. To exit the transcoding page, please download the app and read the latest chapters.
He did not deny it: "I did participate in an action against the Akatsuki organization, but that action was planned by Hanzo from Yuyin Village, and I was just a witness. And in that action, the so-called Akatsuki organization had already Destroyed by Hanzo."
“Sansho Fish Hanzo...”
Mito Kadoyan's face darkened.
In his understanding, Sansho Hanzo, the leader of Amegakure Village, is one of the strongest ninjas in the ninja world and has the title of 'demigod'.
Danzo moved Hanzo out so that he could not continue to attack.
Danzo, who had always been unreasonable and unforgiving, did not continue to say anything this time and fell into a rare silence.
He knew better than everyone present what the situation was in the Akatsuki organization.
The action against the Akatsuki organization a few years ago was not so much planned by Hanzo as it was instigated by him behind the scenes. Its purpose was to consume the strength of Yuyin Village.
It's just that the action wasn't perfect that time.
The Akatsuki organization was not completely destroyed as he said, but fish that slipped through the net were dormant.
In order to eradicate the roots, he has also tracked down the Xiao organization in recent years, but he has gained little.
Of course, this is mainly because his investigation did not cover Yuyin Village.
Because in his opinion, Yuyin Village is Hanzo's home base. With Hanzo's cautious character, Yuyin Village must be managed in a monolithic manner.
No matter where the Akatsuki organization hides, it cannot be hidden in Yuyin Village!
So after finding no valuable information, he thought that the Akatsuki organization had disappeared over time.
Unexpectedly, the Akatsuki organization not only did not gradually dissipate, but instead became a phenomenon again, gathering a group of dangerous S-class rebellious ninjas!
At this time, Sandai put down his pipe and said to Kakashi: "Tell me what you think!"
Kakashi considered his words and spoke slowly: "My opinion is that there may be some kind of split within the Akatsuki organization. This incident should be caused by this split."
Sandai's eyes flashed: "Tell me more details."
Kakashi followed his own train of thought and analyzed: "I have done research. Before this, the areas where the Akatsuki organization was active had avoided the five major countries. It can be seen that they do not want to conflict with our five major ninja villages."
The third generation nodded slightly and agreed with Kakashi's analysis.
Kakashi continued: "But this time, the Akatsuki organization took the initiative to attack the ninjas of our five major ninja villages. This behavior is contradictory to their previous actions."
After turning to bed, Xiaochun took over the conversation: "So you judge that there was a split within them, and the two groups were fighting among themselves, which led to this incident?"
Kakashi nodded: "Yes."
After turning to bed, Koharu said: "Even so, we in Konoha cannot continue to let this Akatsuki organization go."
Mito Kadoyan echoed: "The fact that they recruited S-class rebel ninjas from each village is a sign of contempt for us!"
Seeing that the third generation was still pondering, Kakashi quickly advised: "Lord Hokage, the strength of the Akatsuki organization far exceeds our expectations. If we want to deal with them, it is best to cooperate with other ninja villages."
The third generation nodded.
night.
In a small forest in Konoha Village.
Bai came to a big tree and said softly: "Contact me temporarily. Is there anything important?"
At this time, a black shadow appeared behind the big tree and asked in a low voice, "Have you investigated any information about the Akatsuki organization?"
Bai's heart suddenly tightened.
The shadow noticed something and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"No, I haven't found any information about the Akatsuki organization." After shaking his head, Bai asked tentatively: "Did something happen?"
The black shadow said solemnly: "Two teams have disappeared in the village recently, and the higher-ups suspect that it was the Akatsuki organization."
Bai's heart became clear.
The disappearance of the Kirigakure ninja was obviously caused by Tongmo and Yiwoza, two fake ghosts of the Akatsuki organization.
Black Shadow continued to speak in a deep tone: "We have received news that there is more than one Uchiha Itachi in the Akatsuki organization, and there is also an Uchiha who is suspected to be a female. And... the other party possesses the rumored Mangekyo Sharingan, and its strength is extraordinary. !”
"That's not Uchiha, that's Xianglan..."
Bai secretly said something in his heart.
In fact, before this operation, he didn't know that the leader had quietly transplanted a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan eyes into Xiang Lian's eyes.
He didn't know about it until the leader used genjutsu to open the Sharingan for Koso during the operation.
Black Shadow changed the topic and said firmly: "So the Uchiha clan must be closely related to the Akatsuki organization! Did you really find nothing when you approached Shinji Uchiha?"
Shiro shook his head: "Shinji has nothing to do with the Akatsuki organization."
Then, he added in his heart: "Sorry, it's me who matters, I'm a member of the Akatsuki organization!"
The black shadow said: "It seems that Uchiha Shinji is the abandoned son of the Uchiha clan. The real key lies in Uchiha Sasuke."
Bai said in embarrassment: "I can't get close to Sasuke, he doesn't want to contact me at all."
Black Shadow said coldly: "Then find a way! The village put you in Konoha, not to make friends with an outcast. Don't forget your mission!"
Bai could only nod: "I understand."
The black shadow suddenly ordered again: "Also, investigate what happened to Kimimaro? Why did he suddenly appear in Konoha's ninja school!"
Bai was startled for a moment: "Isn't Kimimaro arranged by the village?"
