Under the Bamboo Forest of Naruto

In the dim underground space of the Root base, Danzo looked at the Root ninja lying on the ground with a gloomy expression. This Root ninja was the member of the Yamazaka clan whom Ryūha had spared.

After the reinforcements from the roots arrived, not a single member of the Kusachi clan was found. There were only corpses of the root ninjas all over the ground. The only one who was still alive was holding his head in his hands, rolling on the ground and making loud noises in pain.

moan.

When they took off the mask of this ninja who was the root of the mountain clan, they found that his mouth and nose were split, blood was constantly oozing out, and his eyes were dull. It was obvious that he had suffered severe mental trauma. He looked like this.

I couldn't ask for any valuable information, so I had no choice but to take him back to the root headquarters.

After being brought back to the Root Headquarters, a diagnosis by the Root Medical Ninja revealed that he had suffered backlash while performing the secret technique of the Yamanaka Clan, causing severe mental damage. It would take at least a month to recover.

However, Danzo, who was eager to know the details, naturally did not have the patience to wait for a month, so under Danzo's forced order, he invaded the brain of the ninja of the Yamazaka clan and obtained detailed information about what had happened before at the Kusachi clan's station.

intelligence.

As for this ninja who is the root of the mountain clan, if his brain is invaded to obtain information under such circumstances, he may need to train for half a year at least, or he may become a permanent vegetative state at worst.

However, Danzo is obviously not in the mood to care about his subordinate. He is currently thinking about why Ryūyu appeared in the village. She should be carrying out an assassination mission outside the village. Ryūyu appears in the village now, and she has not yet

The discovery of a member of the Caoqian clan meant that his plan this time had failed.

Before Danzo could think of what to do, a root ninja came to Danzo, half-kneeling and handed over a secret letter, and then disappeared again after Danzo took the secret letter. This secret letter was Danzo's.

It was sent back by a spy embedded in the daimyo's team. The whistle hawk hurriedly hurriedly sent the message back after dark.

Danzo's original plan was to control the Kusasen clan in Konoha Village after the news was conveyed. However, the successive annihilation of two groups of Root ninjas and the news of Ryūha's appearance in the village obviously interrupted it.

Danzo's deployment.

Danzo glanced at the secret letter, and then ordered in a cold voice: "Kusaki Ryuha colluded with outside village forces, betrayed village secrets, assassinated daimyo, killed many ninjas in the village, and attempted to attack senior officials in the department. He has now defected...

..."

........

"Woo---------"

The long whistle sounded suddenly in the night of Konoha. The villagers of Konoha who heard the whistle couldn't help but were stunned. They put down the things in their hands and looked outside the street in confusion. And on the street, there was a group of people from time to time.

ANBU ninjas passed by. Soon after, even the Uchiha clan's security forces took action urgently.

Liuyu, who was completely hidden under his black robe, couldn't help but be startled when he heard the whistle. Looking at a group of ANBU speeding past not far away, he couldn't help but secretly thought: "This guy Danzo really looks up to me.

"

This highest-level alarm will only sound when a major crisis occurs in the village or when it faces an invasion by external forces. The last time it was sounded, it was because the Kyuubi broke the seal, but he didn't expect that this time, in order to arrest him, Danzo would directly

With this level of alarm enabled, I don't know whether to feel lucky or sad.

........

"How is this possible?"

Asuma and Kurenai looked at the notice that had just been issued in shock. It said that the Kusachi Clan's superior ninja Kusachi Ryuha colluded with outside village forces to kill the Fire Country Daimyo, betrayed the village's secrets, and was suspected of assassinating the village's senior officials. He has now defected.

Officially classified as an S-class traitorous ninja.

"How come?"

Looking at the announcement in front of her, Hong gently covered her mouth in disbelief. As Liu Yu's teammates, the two of them knew what Liu Yu was like and knew that Nobu Liu Yu would not do such a thing.

On the other side, Yamanaka Haiichi frowned as he looked at the notice that had just been posted in front of him. As a member of the Yamanaka clan, his experience was naturally not comparable to that of Asuma and Kurenai, and he was able to think about problems better than others.

Think long term.

At the critical moment when the Third Hokage was not in the village, it was definitely abnormal for something like this to happen in the village, especially since this order was issued by Danzo's subordinates.

If the crime of assassinating a daimyo is proven, even the Third Hokage might not be able to save Riyuu, but where does Riuyu have any reason to assassinate a daimyo?

"Teacher Haiichi...Ryuyu, she can't really..."

Looking at Yamanaka Haiichi's frown, Asuma asked worriedly. Although he usually has a cheerful personality, facing such a big event as the defection of an important companion, it is impossible to calm down no matter what.

"Don't think too much..."

Seeing the worried looks on their faces, Yamanaka Haiichi could only helplessly comfort them.

Scenes like this are constantly happening in other parts of Konoha. Everyone who knows Riyuha is in disbelief when they learn that Riyuha has defected. As a war hero of Konoha and the Shadow Guard of the Fourth Hokage, Riyuha

Captain, how could you do such a thing?

.....

Now that the Third Hokage is not in the village, Danzo, who is the Hokage's assistant, is currently the most powerful person in the village. Now that such a big thing has happened in the village, he naturally has the power to temporarily mobilize the Anbu. Under Danzo's special request, Inuzuka,

Families that are good at tracking, such as Aburame and Hinata, all joined this large-scale manhunt. Especially the ninjas of the Hyuga clan, who possess the restrained and reclusive Byakugan, are the main force of the search team.

The whole of Konoha has become turbulent because of the defection of the Kusanagi clan. First, Orochimaru, the third-generation direct disciple and one of the legendary three ninjas, defected, and then Kusanagi, the war hero of Konoha and the captain of the fourth-generation Hokage guard.

Qian Liuyu's entire clan defected. This made the villagers wonder, "What's happening to the village?"

...

Running through the forest, Ryūha kept passing over thick trees, and behind her was the smaller and smaller Leaf Village. Although Danzo made multiple preparations to hunt Ryūha, he still could not find any trace of Ryūha.

Liuha often goes out to perform confidential tasks for the village, and is very clear about the perception barrier and the distribution of sentries outside the village. Coupled with his strong anti-perception and perception abilities, he was able to attack Danzo even before Danzo's pursuers surrounded him.

They have been avoided in advance. As for the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, they can deal with the ordinary Kussen clan members, but if you want to find Ryūyu, you must have the extremely pure Byakugan of the clan.

Suddenly, Liuyu stopped, stood on a tree, took a deep breath, calmed down, and then said: "Come out, Kakashi, you can't hide from my perception."

As soon as Ryūyu finished speaking, Kakashi, who was wearing a silver vest and an Anbu mask, turned around and walked out of a tree. After coming out, Kakashi took off his mask and looked at Ryūyu intently.

The three magatama sharingan eyes in the eye sockets are constantly rotating.

For a moment, the two fell silent. At this moment, they were no longer companions. One was an S-class traitor wanted by the village, and the other was a member of the hunting team.

"Why?"

After a long time, Kakashi asked softly.

"If I could, I wouldn't want to go to this point."

Liuyu did not answer Kakashi's question directly, but sighed to himself.

"Why?"

Kakashi still said the same thing.

"Do you still remember the assassination that happened when the third generation went to the City of Fire to meet the daimyo?"

Ryūha did not answer Kakashi's question, but instead asked Kakashi if he still remembered the assassination.

"..."

Ryūha's rhetorical question directly caused silence between the two parties again. No one should know about the assassination planned by Danzo except the person involved.

"I see!"

After a while, Kakashi lowered his head and said helplessly in a low voice, and then stepped aside without any intention of taking action. Liuyu's hint was already obvious, she was just a pawn trying to resist fate.
