Tsunade waited anxiously all night, but there was still no news from Shizune. Before dawn the next day, she knocked on the Hokage's door.
Hiruzen opened the door in a hurry, and after hearing Tsunade's words, his whole body felt a little hairy.
"What? Shizune is missing!?" Hiruzen was shocked.
Shizune was not only Tsunade's disciple, but also Kato Dan's niece. Kato Dan was Tsunade's lover and died in the Second Ninja War for the Leaf Village.
If something happens to her, not only Tsunade, but he will also fall into self-blame.
After learning the news, Hiruzen immediately called in the ANBU and Danzo for a meeting.
"We must find Shizune! We must see her alive, and her body must be seen dead." Hiruzen had already thought of the worst possibility.
Tsunade clenched her fists tightly and smashed the conference table, causing a piece of the table to dent in an instant. "There is definitely something wrong inside Konoha Village! If I find that someone is causing trouble, it doesn't matter who he is or whether he is sitting there."
I must kill him in the conference room."
"Ahem, pay attention to the occasion. Hokage-sama is still here." Danzo coughed lightly.
"Hokage-sama will agree with me. Those who bully a girl are scum and do not deserve to live in this world. And Shizune is Dan's niece. If there is no explanation, how will Konoha Village ask other people to pay for it in the future?
Life?" Tsunade asked.
"Sutata is not the only one who bleeds for the Leaf Village. Shizune is nothing special. Others can die, why can't she?" Danzo sneered.
"Because she didn't die on the battlefield. If people in the village can disappear at will, how can the village ensure the safety of the villagers? To say the least, if there is a moth inside the ninja, if we don't dig him out, how can we let him go?
Will he continue to harm Konoha? Lord Danzo, your objection is very strong...do you know something?" Tsunade clenched her fists and stared at Danzo coldly.
Danzo's face turned red and he glared at Tsunade.
What a mad dog, he bites everyone he sees...
Tsunade glanced at Hiruzen's face, and then at Konoha Village's advisors Mito Kadoen and Koharu Koharu, "It's been two months since the first ninja disappeared. Chuunin
The exam is coming soon. If you don’t work hard, if the ninjas from other villages are assassinated... is Konoha ready for the next ninja war?"
"I can understand your mood, but the more you get to this time, the more you need to calm down. Kakashi..."
Kakashi stood up straight.
"You lead the ANBU ninjas to investigate the place where Shizune last appeared, and with the missing place as the center, investigate all the surrounding houses, regardless of the identity and status of the other party."
Hiruzen also felt embarrassed when Tsunade made such a fuss.
After so long, there was not even a clue, and he also felt that there was an unstable factor within Konoha.
"Yes." Kakashi nodded.
"Everyone present must cooperate fully. If anyone objects, then the search will begin from his residence." The Hokage's eyes fell on Danzo intentionally or unintentionally.
Danzo's face was ashen and he finally made no sound. After returning to the mansion, he hung the two "Gen" members who were on the mission upside down from the beams and beat them.
He just asked them to go out to catch ninjas. As a result, they were lucky. After they returned to the village, they were followed by Shizune, and they captured Shizune again.
If you were discovered, wouldn't you throw away the captured ninja? Do you have to pick up a hot potato?
Orochimaru came out of the basement and saw the blood on the two "root" members, and quickly reminded: "Don't beat them to death, I will be useful."
"It's useful to me too." Danzo looked at Orochimaru warily.
He was just angry, but didn't really want them to die.
It is difficult to train a tool person.
After Orochimaru heard this, he felt very sorry.
You must know that the selection of "Root" members is very cruel, so everyone's physical fitness is excellent and they are very suitable for experiments.
"Where's Shizune?"
"I'll let my disciple watch." Orochimaru said with a smile.
"I'm going to kill her." Danzo said with a sullen face.
Tsunade scolded him in front of the Hokage, which was extremely difficult for him to accept.
What happened to Shizune? What happened to Kato Dan? He followed the Second Hokage through life and death, and almost died in the Great Ninja War. His original intention was to sacrifice himself in exchange for the lives of the Second Hokage and Hiruzen, but he was stopped by the Second Hokage.
.
For Konoha, he can die at any time. Young people nowadays have no spirit of sacrifice at all.
Tsunade, aren't you looking for Shizune? I'll kill her and burn her to ashes to see if you can recognize her!?
"Don't." Orochimaru quickly stopped Danzo, "She is still useful."
"What's the use?" Danzo looked at Orochimaru suspiciously.
"Isn't it going to be the Chunin Examination in a while?" Orochimaru said with a smile, "I can use her as a hostage."
"She can talk nonsense." Orochimaru reminded.
"I know. But I won't give her that chance." Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, "You must be looking forward to Tsunade personally killing Shizune, right?"
"Can it be done?" Danzo asked in surprise.
"Of course. For me, this is too easy. So, please be patient and wait until the day of the Chunin Examination. I will definitely leave you with memories that will last a lifetime." Orochimaru said with a smile.
Danzo's expression softened, "I'm just waiting for that day to come soon. By the way, when will you transplant my eyes?"
"Don't worry, I will perform surgery on you as soon as I get Uchiha Itachi. Don't worry, I have a trump card. This time, I have 100% confidence." Orochimaru patted his chest and vowed.
Danzo snorted coldly, "I hope you won't disappoint me."
…
After Shizune found out that she had been arrested, she was completely confused. When she saw Orochimaru, she immediately became angry and asked Orochimaru to let her out.
Orochimaru thought she was too noisy, so he stuffed a rag into her mouth and gave her an injection to calm her down.
When Yusuke found Shizune, she had been tied up with ropes. She was limp and no different from other "experimental subjects" who were locked up. He quickly pulled out the rag and slapped her face twice more before waking Shizune up, but the whole
The person still has no energy and cannot complete a normal conversation.
He can only use the "technique of extracting minor troubles" to remove as much toxins as possible - Orochimaru's research products are not good if they are injected into the body. He is also afraid that too much time will pass and Shizune's body will be damaged.
After being absorbed by toxins, they cannot be excreted again.
By then, even if Tsunade can bring people back to life, she probably won't be able to do anything about Shizune's condition.
As for letting Shizune die here...
If Tsunade knew he was here, she probably wouldn't let him go, right?
Shizune slowly opened her eyes again, only to see a person wearing a white mask appearing in front of her. Although her body was still weak, she had a relatively clear consciousness.
