Inside the Hokage's office.
As usual, the Third Hokage was holding a pipe and handling government affairs, most of which were trivial village affairs.
It was these little troubles that allowed him to appreciate the stability of the village now and temporarily forget about the troubles caused by the Akatsuki organization.
After stamping the official document with the Hokage's steel seal, the Third Hokage took out a stack of secret documents from the drawer, which recorded the information brought back by the ANBU.
After Jiraiya returned to the village with Tsunade, he sent most of the Anbu to investigate the outside world, including his eldest son and daughter-in-law.
Speaking of which, that smart and capable daughter-in-law gave birth to a grandson for him not long ago, named Konohamaru.
Recalling his grandson's face, the Third Hokage smiled like a chrysanthemum, and then reviewed the secret information.
After reading the information brought back by his son and daughter-in-law, Sandai's smile became even brighter.
His son and daughter-in-law, who were sent to the Kingdom of Water, gained a lot of useful information. With these achievements, his position as head of the Anbu became more secure.
After laughing again and again, Sandai noticed something was wrong at the end of the letter, and an ominous premonition emerged in his mind.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the office door, and the jounin from the intelligence class appeared in front of the third generation with an anxious look on his face.
"Sandaime-sama, Sandaime-sama..." The ninja in the intelligence class looked at the third generation, hesitating a little.
The third generation secretly knew something was wrong. He looked at the intelligence class and said, "If you have any situation, just tell me. Could it be that Kumogakure is attacking the Konoha border again?"
The intelligence class member shook his head, his face still hesitant, he was not sure about the news.
The third generation's face showed anger, and he felt extremely impatient with the jounin of the intelligence class.
Just when the third generation was about to have a seizure, a puff of smoke appeared in the Hokage's office. After the smoke cleared, an old ape stood in front of the third generation.
The old ape's face was extremely gloomy, and he said to the third generation: "Hiruzhan, the little monkey and the others passed away..."
The third generation was stunned on the spot, and his standing body sat on the Hokage's chair again. He couldn't accept it for a while.
His suspicious eyes stayed on the monkey demon for a long time, and then he looked at the intelligence class jounin, hoping to get completely different news from there.
The intelligence class leader avoided the third generation's gaze and lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the third generation.
Crossing his fingers and putting his arms on the desk, the third generation asked in a calm tone: "Simian Demon, did they sneak into the Kingdom of Water and obtain any useful information?"
The ape demon silently took out a white cloth with written words on it and talked about what he saw and heard while channeling.
After listening to the story of the battle, General Sandai said slowly after a long time: "Very good, it seems that their death was not in vain, and they still obtained very useful information."
The information recorded on the white paper was very simple, with only one short sentence: 'Mizukage is suspected of being manipulated, and there is Akatsuki in Kirigakure Village...'
Reminiscent of what he had seen and heard about the monkey demon, Sandai quickly determined that among the five great kingdoms, Kirigakure had the shadow of Akatsuki behind him.
As a result, the Akatsuki organization directly attacked three of the five major ninja villages alone. The Akatsuki organization was no longer just a simple threat, it was directly challenging the order of the five major ninja villages.
At this time, the intelligence class ninja looked at the third generation and said cautiously: "Sandai-sama, please take care, Minister Sarutobi and the others..."
The third generation turned to look at the intelligence class ninja and said: "I am in very good condition now. Go and notify the elder advisor, Tsunade and Jiraiya to convene a meeting."
The intelligence class member was stunned for a moment, and soon left the office as if he had been granted amnesty.
Before coming to the Hokage's office, he was prepared to bear the wrath of the Third Generation, but the Third Generation's reaction was not violent...
Shortly after Shinobu left the intelligence class, the monkey demon looked at the third generation and said distressedly: "Hiruzhan, please forgive me and obey..."
The third generation smiled gently at the monkey demon: "It doesn't matter. Lake Biwa also left at the beginning, as well as Teacher Tobirama, Kagami and the others. Death is the fate of ninjas, and we are all doing it for the village."
The monkey demon sighed softly and walked to Sandai's side. He wanted to comfort him but was unable to speak because he was not good at words.
At this time, Sandai suddenly stood up and came to the window, his eyes full of confusion.
I don’t know when it started, but the big tree outside the window has turned yellow, and countless withered leaves fell to the ground along with the gusts of autumn wind.
Seeing this scene, the third generation secretly clenched his fists and said in his heart: "The action against the Akatsuki organization must be accelerated."
The lowest layer of the root base.
Danzo lay on the experimental table with his eyes closed and stretched out an arm. The scientific research ninja next to him was strengthening the seal on the arm.
Under the bandaged arm were Sharingan eyes with magatama.
And in the socket of Danzo's right eye, there is a three-magatama Sharingan.
After strengthening the seal on his arm, Danzo slowly stood up from the experimental table, focused his eyes on his right arm, and sighed softly.
Not long ago, he successfully transplanted the first-generation cells, and these Sharingan existed to suppress the first-generation cells.
If it hadn't been for the battle with Orochimaru a few years ago, his transplant speed would have been faster, and he wouldn't have wasted the Sharingan left behind by the mirror.
However, even at such a high cost, it is still worth it to successfully transplant primary cells.
Now, he is at least twenty years younger than his previous age, and has successfully returned to his peak years.
His only flaw is that he cannot use Wood Escape easily, otherwise he will risk being swallowed.
After leaving the laboratory, Danzo asked the scientific research ninja to study the wood escape and Uchiha bloodlines before leaving. Danzo came to the root office and looked at the letter from Orochimaru.
A week ago, he sent a team to the Kingdom of Earth and brought back this letter.
Bringing back the letter also meant the failure of Team Root's mission, and it was rare that he did not impose severe punishment.
On the one hand, it is because in Orochimaru's letter, his purpose of sending the Root Team has been achieved.
On the other hand, there is a brand-new character who has appeared within the Akatsuki organization this time. According to the description of the team, he is a mysterious person with invisible strength. He can ignore ninjutsu and possesses super strong physical skills at the same time.
Every new member of the Akatsuki organization is a dangerous person who needs closer attention.
Not long after, a root ninja appeared in front of Danzo, lowered his head and said: "Sir Danzo, the Hokage has held a high-level meeting."
"High-level meeting? Why?" Danzo was a little confused.
The root ninja in front of him said: "It seems that there is a meeting about Kirigakure."
"Kirigakure? What's going on with Kirigakure?" Hiding doubts in his heart, Danzo left the root base and headed for the Hokage Building.
