Konoha: Be cautious from Hinata

Sitting in the office at the root base, Danzo quietly waited for news about Itachi.

As the root leader who has been in charge of the dark side of the Ninja Village for decades, Danzo certainly knows how inappropriate his recent behavior is.

If Uchiha Fugaku's behavior of wooing Itachi was known, he would at best acquiesce to this behavior.

After all, there are only a handful of Uchiha ninjas serving in ANBU, and Fugaku has always followed orders from the village.

But when Uchibo found out, the situation was completely different. She always liked to go against the village.

Not long after, Danzo met the root ninja who was monitoring Itachi. According to this root ninja, although Itachi was young, he was very experienced, even as good as many jounin.

If he hadn't been well prepared in advance, I'm afraid even he, the monitor, would have been discovered.

Danzo shook his head secretly at Gennin's words. The men in front of him had been discovered, but he didn't know it.

Apart from himself, there were only a few ninjas who could follow Itachi without being discovered.

This is not because he knows Itachi's strength well enough, but because he has a deep understanding of the Three Magatama Sharingan. After the Sharingan reaches the level of the Three Magatama, its single-round detection ability is not inferior to the Byakugan.

Even the Jonin of ANBU must use special secret techniques if he wants to track a ninja with Byakugan or Three Magatama.

After a brief silence, Danzo waved his hand to signal his subordinates to leave the office, and immediately took out a stack of documents from the drawer, which recorded the record of Uchiha opening the three Magatama Sharingan.

On the first and second pages, information about the Mangekyō Sharingan Uchiha was displayed.

For Danzo, Oto and Shisui, who possess the kaleidoscope, are more threatening than the mediocre clan leader Fugaku.

Of course, any Uchiha with the Three Magatama Sharingan cannot be ignored.

The Uchiha ninja awakened the three Magatama Sharingan and became an elite jounin in an unknown amount of time.

After casually flipping through a few pages, Danzo couldn't help but think of the information he had given to Yakushi Kabuto a few days ago. He put his hand on the table and carefully felt the complex situation inside his body.

In his body, there are three types of chakra: Sharingan, Hashirama cells and natural energy.

At first, he thought that the huge natural energy would allow him to suppress the conflict between the Sharingan and Hashirama cells and use these three powers at the same time.

But later in the battle with Payne, he understood that natural energy was not without its sequelae.

Izanagi's retrospection did not change his physical predicament. His current situation is even worse than before connecting to the leyline network, and he needs several more pairs of Sharingan to maintain the corresponding balance.

But now is not the time of the Ninja War, there are very few Uchihas who died accidentally and have Sharingan.

If we take action directly, not to mention Sarutobi Hiruzen's rebellion, his unstable state is far from being a match for Uchiha Bo and Uchiha Shisui.

Even when he came into contact with Uchiha Itachi, he always showed kindness and was far from the point of taking action.

Therefore, when he was unable to take the initiative, he could only hope that Orochimaru, who coveted Uchiha, would take the initiative. With this layer of cover, he would have a chance to obtain the Sharingan.

This is also the reason why he gave Yakushi Kabuto the information. Yakushi Kabuto is a master of the true biography of the 'Walking Miko', so he should not be disappointed in this regard.

…

At the same time, the Third Hokage was also listening to the report from his ANBU.

After the Akatsuki organization took away the Nanao in Takigakure Village, it did not stop in the ninja world, and its activities became more frequent. In order to deal with this situation, several major ninja villages that suffered Akatsuki attacks conducted several exchanges.

Kirigakure and Sunagakure, who had been severely hit, showed great indignation, but the real power they could provide was extremely limited.

Only Kumogakure and Konoha were left as the main force.

As for the remaining Iwagakure in the five major countries, according to the information passed by spies, Iwagakure seems to be interested in signing a non-aggression treaty with the Akatsuki organization. That old fox Onoki is just too stable.

In this way, relying on the power of Kumogakure and Konoha, even if they defeat Akatsuki, they will suffer heavy losses.

There are countless examples in the ninja world of allies who have betrayed their alliances because their own strength has been damaged.

While the situation outside the village is grim, the situation inside the village is not optimistic either. Danzo, whose funds have been cut by him, has recently been approaching Naruto secretly.

Naruto not only has the identity of a Jinchuuriki, he is also the son of Minato and Kushina.

There are only a handful of people in the Ninja Village who know Naruto's true identity. This is also to protect Naruto. Young jinchūriki are prone to accidents, as are the enemies of the Minato couple.

Unless you become a Jonin at a young age like Kakashi, your identity cannot be made public.

Danzo's behavior undoubtedly touched his bottom line. Only he can arrange Naruto's future.

As for Itachi and Sasuke mentioned in the report, he was not too worried. The strength that Uchiha had shown recently made him, the Hokage, unable to ignore them.

No matter how much Danzo hated Uchiha, he would not provoke him at this time.

Just as the ANBU was about to leave, the Third Hokage suddenly asked: "How long has it been since Kakashi went out?"

The ANBU thought seriously for a while and said: "For about three days, Kakashi-senpai seems to have been staying at home to study new ninjutsu."

The third generation nodded, Kakashi has great potential, and he is preparing to train as his successor in the future.

But after the trip to Takigakure Village, I became a lot more negative. Perhaps it was because I saw how powerful Pain was, and felt hopeless and powerless in my heart.

In fact, even after he saw Payne's power, he had to admit that he was getting old.

He was worried that Kakashi would return to the passive state he was in when Minato first fell asleep, causing the village to lose an important combat force.

Kakashi, who possesses the Sharingan and has received Jiraiya's inheritance, is not as dazzling as Uchiha's Mangekyo, but he is still considered one of the top combat powers in the village.

Putting back his thoughts that were gradually diverging, Sandai continued to deal with the affairs of the village.

No matter how bad the future situation is, you cannot give up on yourself and ignore the present.

…

In the laboratory.

After encountering a bottleneck in studying the Black Zetsu fragments, Hyugazo decided to put his research on hold and focus on other experiments.

Although the current research on scientific ninja tools and chakra armor has found suitable talents.

But the most critical part of the network connection, Hyuga Cang cannot be left to outsiders to study, even if those people have been planted with the curse of keeping secrets.

In Hyugazo's vision, the chakra network he built could allow scientific ninja tools and chakra armor to be charged at will, allowing ninjas with certain qualities to have the strength of a jounin.

There has been a lot of research on scientific ninja tools and chakra armor in the ninja world. For example, the ability to detonate detonating charms at any time is a similar technology.

As for remote transmission of chakra, in Hyugazo's impression, only Nagato and Future Fox Naruto can do it.

After sorting and recording the experimental data, Hinata walked out of the dark basement. At this moment, Hinata gradually frowned and disappeared directly from the spot.
