Konoha: Be cautious from Hinata

A few kilometers away from the Death Forest.

A twisted vortex slowly appeared, and Obito fell directly into the nearby bushes. He then climbed up and sat down with his back against a big tree, breathing heavily.

After tearing off the black robe that disguised his identity, Obito focused on his white arms.

That was Bai Zetsu's arm, and there was a closed eye on the arm. That eye was the three Magatama Sharingan he had transplanted in advance.

Transplanting the Sharingan was just a whim idea after he regained his eyes, but it accidentally saved his life and the precious Mangekyo Sharingan.

He had just used 'Izanagi', and his body had not suffered much damage.

However, the consumption of chakra and eye power is huge. 'Izanagi' is a technique that can rewrite reality, but it cannot reverse the consumed chakra and eye power.

He sat slumped on the ground, trying to make himself feel better.

There is no doubt that he suffered a big fall this time and almost lost his life.

Originally, he thought that Hinata Zou, who was possessed by a demon, would only come alone, and at most he would call the two Uchiha Kamine and Shisui.

But they didn't expect that not only the sealing class would appear, but Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, would also join the action.

Especially the pupil technique that interfered with his divine power in the end almost left him alone.

That pupil technique is at the kaleidoscope level, and it must be the pupil technique possessed by Shisui.

Now it seems that this is a trap at all. The demon possessing Hinata Zou was controlled very early, but he was almost beaten into the organization by it.

At this time, Zetsu, who was hiding underground, finally popped his head out and looked at Obito's miserable condition, smiling heartlessly.

"Obito, you failed again. This time Konoha set a trap. If I hadn't found the other members of the organization, you would have been dead!" Black Zetsu said coldly.

Obito remained silent, Zetsu was right, he was only a hair away from death.

However, this also revealed another thing. Zetsu secretly summoned other members of the Akatsuki organization behind his back.

It is definitely a creation of Madara's will, used to monitor his execution of the Eye of the Moon plan, and otherwise obey his orders.

However, Jue has acted alone several times without notifying himself.

"I will pay attention next time." Obito replied calmly, lying quietly on the tree trunk, using White Zetsu's body to slowly recover from his injuries.

Not long after, the retreating members of the Akatsuki organization gathered here, looking at Obito who was recovering from his injuries.

Xie snorted coldly and said to Jue: "Jue, next time a member of the outside team like A Fei will not be worth our efforts to rescue and waste our time."

Obito shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm sorry for causing trouble to everyone, I will apologize to everyone right now."

As he spoke, Obito put on various funny poses, trying to amuse the members of the Akatsuki organization in front of him.

Loquat Juuzang, who was leaning against the beheading sword, smiled happily and didn't care.

The masked Kakuzu just scolded Obito. In his opinion, young people always make mistakes. When he was young, he was like Fei, keen on challenging the strong, but he encountered hard problems.

Orochimaru, who arrived late, looked at Obito thoughtfully, but was not fooled by Obito's appearance.

He felt the senjutsu chakra and the sword marks left by Susanoo at the fighting position. He had already guessed that Fei, a member of the outer formation with an unsightly appearance in front of him, was the culprit of the Nine-Tails Rebellion.

Therefore, unlike other people who laughed at A Fei, Orochimaru thought more with his hands folded on his chest.

Even Orochimaru developed a strong curiosity about Fei's Mangekyō Sharingan.

………

Near the boundary.

After several hours, Jiraiya recorded a summary of the operation.

More than ten ANBU teams participating in the battle were injured, and one person died. Two others are still being searched for, but there is a high probability that they are also corpses.

The death of a companion always makes people sad, especially in today's peaceful times.

Death is no longer commonplace. The families of these deceased ANBU ninjas will be notified. Due to the principle of confidentiality, the family members may not know the specific cause of death until decades later.

Hyugazo was helping to treat the wounded at this time. Although he was not a medical ninja, his medical ninja skills were not bad.

After writing a report, Jiraiya seemed to remember something and looked at the ANBU in front of him: "Where is Danzo? Where is the ANBU he led now?"

The Anbu under his leadership suffered casualties, but Danzo's roots were slow to show up.

Even with a personality like Jiraiya's, he felt anger from within.

The ANBU in front of him shook his head slightly, but Kakashi guessed that the troops led by Danzo might encounter other enemies.

After hearing this, Jiraiya's gloomy expression improved slightly.

However, if Danzo's troops were not delayed, perhaps the masked man would have been captured by the village.

Not long after, Danzo led the Roots to appear nearby. Looking at the injured ANBU members nearby, he was the first to ask: "Jiraiya, have you solved the masked man?"

Jiraiya shook his head and said, "It was just a little bit close to him escaping."

Danzo's face darkened, and he frowned and looked at Uchiha Shisui's position: "How could he escape? Don't we also have the Mangekyo Sharingan here? Could it be that..."

Danzo hesitated to speak, and pointed the finger at Shisui, along with Hinata Zou and Yin.

Jiraiya interrupted Danzo's suspicion and said: "This has nothing to do with Shisui. The opponent's strength is far greater than that of Shisui. Not only the Sharingan, but the wooden escape performed by the masked man is also extremely difficult."

After a pause, Jiraiya continued: "Consultant Danzo, why are you showing up now?"

Danzo's face was a little gloomy: "My subordinates and I met the rebel ninja Orochimaru, and a battle broke out with him, which wasted time..."

"Yeah?"

Jiraiya was hesitant and looked at Danzo suspiciously. There was very little dust on Danzo's body.

Even if it was just one person, Danzo's subordinates all looked like they had never experienced a battle. Both their chakra and their mental state were intact.

However, thinking about the rumors in the village, Jiraiya figured it out. It was rumored that Danzo had always been in contact with the rebel ninja Orochimaru, and that Danzo was a conspirator who assisted Orochimaru in human experiments.

Although it is said that rumors should not be easily believed, it is difficult not to make people suspicious...

The doubts in Jiraiya's eyes made Danzo restrain a lot of his aggressive attitude, no longer attack Uchiha Shisui and others, and regained his coolness.

Even though they had restrained themselves, Uchiha and Shisui could still feel Danzo's malice toward Uchiha.

They are obviously fighting partners, working hard to destroy the common enemy.

However, Danzo, who was hiding behind the scenes before he could do anything, harbored great malice towards them.

After the two parties gathered together, the troops who failed in the encirclement and suppression immediately returned to the village.
