Chapter 43 Strange Konoha

Whoosh!

In the Konoha Hokage's office, the ANBU ninja was half-kneeling on the ground, and the third generation calmly whispered: "What is he doing?"

ANBU: "Report to Hokage-sama, we failed to see Danzo-sama."

The third generation frowned slightly, thinking a lot, but could not see the other party. The answer was very subtle.

Sandai: "What's going on?"

ANBU: "According to the response over there, Danzo-sama is ill and should not see people."

This almost made the third generation laugh out loud, and he felt a little angry and happy in his heart. Being sick was really not an excuse.

His eyes were slightly cold: "Inform him to send me all the information and things that he left that night. Remember, tell him that this is the Hokage's order."

ANBU: "Yes, Hokage-sama!"

The ANBU ninja was also shocked by the Third Hokage's serious tone. It had been a long time since he had seen the Hokage speak so sternly.

The teleportation technique was used again, and the ANBU ninja disappeared into the Hokage's office, leaving only the third generation sitting in it, holding the penholder with his fingers, and stains on the paper.

…

Konoha underground, roots.

Under the flickering candlelight, Danzo listened to the report of the root ninja and punched the wall next to him with fierce eyes.

"What an order from the Hokage!"

He understood that once Hiruzen said these words, it meant that he was really angry.

The fist left the wall, and the one eye narrowed slightly. After such a long time, could the paper finally contain the anger?

Xu looked up: "Sure enough, I asked him to find out something. Didn't you expect that he just hid it for such a short time?"

Holding the arm wrapped in bandages, it had already been suppressed layer by layer by newly created seals.

With the arms made from the first-generation cells and these Sharingan eyes, he still overestimated himself after all.

It really cost him a lot of trouble to adapt to these ghosts, and after adjusting countless times, he finally reached a certain balance, but the result was a bottomless pit that swallowed chakra.

Without the blood of the Uchiha clan, the Sharingan cannot be closed and can only be sealed to reduce consumption.

The visual burden was no less than the physical burden. Finally, he was able to breathe a sigh of relief when he finally created a targeted seal.

It's true that I'm sick, but it's not that serious now.

Seeing this, the ANBU ninja on the side asked in a low voice: "Then how to deal with it, Danzo-sama?"

Danzo's face was gloomy, he glanced at him, and said angrily: "How to deal with it, how else to deal with it."

He said fiercely: "He is the Hokage, can I still refuse?"

He snorted softly: "Give them the information. As for which parts can be given and which parts cannot be given, you should know in your mind!"

The ANBU ninja nodded and said: "I understand, Lord Danzo!"

Danzo waved his hand: "Then let's deal with it!"

Watching the other party leave, Danzo sneered. He could give things, but he had the final say on how much and what things were given.

He couldn't refuse openly, but if he secretly made a stumbling block, what could Hiruzen do to him?

but……

Danzo sat in front of the table with a slightly solemn look on his face and a lot of thoughts. He looked at the information in his hand and the photos of the latest appearance of the rope tree, and said in his mouth: "Who are you now?"

…

In the Hokage's office, the ANBU ninja handed over a stack of old information.

These are the materials they got back from Danzo. There are various records on them, but there are no names. They are all called "experimental subjects".

Sandai picked up the information on his finger and let go. The more he looked at it, the darker his eyes became, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.

How many times had Danzo conducted experiments on that "experimental subject", even if there was no possibility of the other party waking up?

After looking at each of the above experiments, it was judged that there was no possibility of waking up.

And looking at the clues described above, I have a bad premonition in my heart.

Finally, after reading the information, he slapped the table hard, his breathing became a little short, and he couldn't help but curse.

"How dare he!"

Who is that "experimental subject"? The words in it vaguely point to someone, because with this description, there is no other matching object.

Even if Danzo picks and chooses the information, the third generation is still the third generation. In terms of intelligence analysis, after so many years of immersion, it is not difficult to find out, but he is not completely sure.

With some vague guesses in his mind, the third generation walked back and forth in the office, and finally came to the window, looked down at Konoha, and sighed deeply.

"Let the toad from Mt. Myoboku come over!"

"yes!"

The Anbu left, and Sandai returned to the table, started writing the secret text, and stuffed it into the letter.

Not long after, the toad from Myoboku Mountain came over, and Sandai delivered the letter to it, and then emphasized.

"Let Jiraiya pay attention and confirm whether the other person is that person."

The toad responded, nodded, and turned into smoke with a bang and dissipated like smoke.

…

Outside the hot spring village, on the cliff.

Jiraiya followed Kakuzu's traces and came here. Looking at the obvious drag marks on it and the traces of the other two people, he crouched down and was a little confused.

"Why are the traces of the other two people so abrupt? There are no traces of other people coming here. Could it be that they flew here?"

Jiraiya complained angrily and looked at the hot spring village below. It could be said that he had an unobstructed view. It was a good place. He made a note of it and turned around to prepare a telescope.

Such thoughts were just a flash of his instinct, and he turned to look at the obvious drag marks.

"It seems that the other party has indeed left the hot spring village, and I don't know where he will go."

It's not difficult to follow them with traces, especially since the other party didn't cover it up, and they didn't seem to expect that anyone would follow the traces they left behind.

Just when Jiraiya was about to continue tracking, he suddenly received a message from Mt. Myoboku. He bit his finger open again, formed a psychic technique and pressed it towards the ground.

Bang!

The smoke rose, and the toad that sent the message appeared on the ground. Jiraiya took down the secret message with ease.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

"Hey, there's something else I want to tell you!"

Jiraiya: "?"

With a heavy weight on his shoulders, frog whispers rang in his ears, and Jiraiya's brows knitted into a frown.

"Jiraiya-sama, I'm going back first!"

"Um!"

The smoke rose, and when Jiraiya showed his face again, it was equally gloomy.

Opening the letter and looking at the cipher text inside, the face he saw in the hot spring village suddenly came to mind.

"Yes, it looks really similar. Can it be different?"

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Jiraiya suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

What else could he protect? Konoha like this suddenly gave him a sense of strangeness, so strange that it made people's hearts tremble.

"I don't know if he was involved?"

"He should still be here."

Two "hims" and two faces were swirling in Jiraiya's mind, and he was even more silent.
