"I didn't expect you to come to my place in person. Tell me, what's the reason for this time?"

In an office in the hospital building, after making herself a cup of tea, Asami Masumi looked at Kakashi who came to visit her with a surprised look.

To be honest, although he and Kakashi are both senior spies stationed in the Konoha branch of the Kingdom of Demons, they belong to different departments.

One is setting up a branch stronghold in the Anbu, and the other is establishing an intelligence station in the medical department. Occasionally there will be handovers, but many times the two parties will not meet directly.

Therefore, Asami Masumi was still slightly surprised by the fact that Kakashi came to visit her personally.

The last time I came here was because of Uchiha Sasuke's incident.

"How should I put it? I want to give the medical ninjas in the team some medicine to assist in their training. You are more familiar with this aspect of things..."

Kakashi scratched his head.

"The medical ninja in the team?" Asami Masumi was all thinking, and then she suddenly understood something and said: "So, is it the little girl from Haruno Zhao's family? I did hear Haruno Zhao say that his daughter became

Medical Ninja.”

"That's what happened. I have taken the 'strange power' technique practiced by Tsunade-sama from the Sandaime and prepared it for Sakura to practice. In addition, the necessary auxiliary drugs are also indispensable."

Kakashi explained.

Asami Masumi gave Kakashi a strange look.

"You really take good care of that little girl, Kakashi."

"I don't want to see such a beautiful young lady fall into dust... Although she is still very immature now, her chakra control is very good. Even I may not be as good as her."

Kakashi told the truth without any falsehood.

Asami Masumi paused slightly while holding the tea cup in her hand.

"This is a very high praise."

People who can become medical ninjas must have much better chakra control than ordinary ninjas. This is an undisputed fact.

But being able to have Kakashi, a jounin, give a slightly inferior evaluation to even himself, made Asami Masumi even more surprised.

If she didn't know Kakashi's personality, she would definitely not take this evaluation seriously.

"This is true."

"Is it the practice of strange power... I understand. I will have the medicine delivered to your residence in the evening. Then you can sign for it yourself."

Asami Masumi did not hesitate and gave Kakashi a positive answer.

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you. The medicine you choose should be milder in nature."

To be on the safe side, Kakashi thought it was better to take it step by step slowly.

Unlike Sasuke and Naruto, Sakura's foundation as a ninja is still too weak.

"Don't worry about this, I know how to use the medicine better than you, so there won't be any accidents in her body."

Even if Kakashi didn't point it out, Asami Masumi knew how to do this kind of thing.

When it comes to how to take care of your body, no one knows it better than Medical Ninjas.

Even if the physical fitness of a ninja is far beyond comparison with other people, they are still flesh and blood. Especially when the body is young and the body has not yet matured and matured, the properties of auxiliary drugs must not only be controlled and should not be too strong, but also the dosage must be

cautious.

"Compared to this, has there been any movement at the root recently?"

Asami Masumi put aside Haruno Sakura's question and asked Kakashi.

"Roots?"

Kakashi raised an eyebrow and glanced at Asami Masumi.

Asami Masumi nodded lightly, folded her hands on the table, and a sharp look flashed through her eyes behind the lenses.

"Recently, someone who was stationed in the hospital secretly took a batch of medicine from the warehouse."

"secretly?"

"That's right, I didn't follow the normal procedure. It seems that I didn't want to attract the third generation's attention. And speaking of it, the use of that batch of medicine was banned many years ago. It is a contraband with a small quantity.

"

Kakashi stood there and thought.

"That batch of illegal drugs is..."

"It has something to do with the Wood Release Ninjutsu... More than 20 years ago, during the Second Ninja War, production was stopped by the Sandaime and sealed deep in the warehouse. That batch of medicine is too old, so those who know it now

limited."

Asami Masumi stared at Kakashi's face.

Kakashi's expression became more solemn now.

"Wood Release... Has Danzo still not stopped thinking about studying Wood Release?"

"How could an organization like the Roots stop that kind of legendary power? Moreover, during the War in the Land of Rain, didn't the Roots also use forbidden drugs that allowed non-Jinchuuriki ninjas to easily obtain the chakra of the tailed beasts?

?In addition, he and Orochimaru are also ambiguous, and they seem to have made transactions related to Sharingan."

"you mean……"

Kakashi also heard Orochimaru mention this matter.

But because this kind of thing involved too many secrets, Orochimaru didn't reveal too much to him.

As for Danzo, it's even more impossible.

Even in the face of his cronies, Danzo often conceals some important things and will not reveal everything.

Therefore, it is often difficult for Kakashi to judge Danzo's specific purpose and plan based on the information he obtains.

"Compared to the third generation, Danzo's roots are hidden deeper. And it also involves the Wood Release and Sharingan, which means that things are not simple. Coupled with the tailed beast chakra... the roots are secretly doing something

What happened is much more terrifying than we imagined. This matter needs to be investigated as soon as possible. What kind of deal he made with Orochimaru must also be clarified."

Kakashi can also understand the vigilance of Asami Masumi.

If it was just Orochimaru, it wouldn't be a big concern.

But Orochimaru is now not only an S-class rebel ninja, but also a logistics manager of the Akatsuki organization, and is deeply trusted by Nagato, the leader of the Akatsuki organization.

Once something is connected with Nagato, it has to be treated with caution.

"I will keep an eye on this matter secretly, but don't put too much hope in it. Danzo will only trust the person who planted the curse seal. Otherwise, even I will be able to investigate very limited things. That person of his, only

I will believe in myself.”

Although Kakashi has a deep relationship with the roots, he himself has not been placed under a curse seal by Danzo. A person like Danzo who is very good at hiding in the dark will naturally not be able to completely trust him.

This is why it has always been difficult for outsiders to penetrate the roots and obtain intelligence from there.

This is because if you want to truly integrate into the roots, you need to devote all your freedom and be controlled by Danzo's curse seal. Only by doing so can you gain Danzo's true trust.

"It doesn't matter, within the Akatsuki organization, Kirigakure's personnel will make arrangements. I'll leave it to you for the roots. It's difficult for me to obtain further information from the roots. It will be easier to start with the ANBU."

As the director of the pharmacy department, she could only detect traces of root activity in her own territory.

If it breaks away from her chassis, she can only stare and nothing will happen.

As for the subordinate team members who are distributed out, it is simply unrealistic to use their sights to focus on the roots.

It's because of Kakashi's presence that the ANBU has never made any intelligence mistakes.

But the same method won't work for the roots.

This is also caused by Konoha's special situation.

Compared with other ninja villages that only have one ANBU organization, Konoha not only has ANBU, but also has a root organization that is not ANBU but is better than ANBU.

In other words, there is light and darkness in the dark parts of Konoha.

The Anbu on the bright side is controlled by the Sandaime Hokage, and the Anbu on the dark side - Root, is led by the elder Shimura Danzo.

As a result, it often hinders the missions of the Ghost Country spies in Konoha.

"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

Kakashi understood, so he said goodbye to Asami Masumi, turned around and left the office.

The next morning was the day agreed upon by Kakashi and Sakura.

Sure enough, Sakura followed Kakashi's instructions and came to the woods that served as the meeting point at six o'clock in the morning, when the sky was just getting light.

"Kakashi-sensei, good morning."

It can be seen that Sakura's face is a little tired, but her eyes are shining with excitement, as if she is expecting something.

"Sakura, you haven't slept all night, have you?"

Kakashi saw the tired look on Sakura's face and couldn't help but speak.

"Yes, because I thought about how Kakashi-sensei was going to teach me powerful moves in the morning, I stayed up until four in the morning reading medical books last night..."
