"Lord Danzo, the target has been secretly captured by us. This is the news we got from the target."
In a secret underground base in Konoha Village, a root ninja wearing a patterned mask respectfully handed the interrogation scroll he had just obtained to Danzo.
After reading the confession information on the scroll, Danzo couldn't help but laugh: "As expected, this boy has a big secret hidden in him!"
Although Orochimaru had deliberately weakened Zhuge Qingyun's presence in the battle report sent back to Konoha, there was still an informant arranged by Danzo hidden around Orochimaru.
After Danzo learned that Zhuge Qingyun had killed more than 70 rock ninjas with one move, he became extremely curious and suspicious of Zhuge Qingyun.
Although Danzo also knew that Zhuge Qingyun had learned the Flying Thunder God Technique, and he believed that Zhuge Qingyun would greatly increase his strength after learning the Flying Thunder God Technique, he did not believe that the Flying Thunder God Technique would enhance his strength so much.
Since Danzo can understand this truth, Orochimaru naturally understands this truth as well, but Orochimaru really regards Zhuge Qingyun as his personal disciple, so he will not get to the bottom of the secrets hidden in Zhuge Qingyun.
But Danzo was different. He was always unscrupulous in doing things. After he became curious and suspicious of Zhuge Qingyun, he directly asked the ANBU ninja to secretly capture Uzumaki Hanayu.
Because Zhuge Qingyun has been staying in Konoha Village before, there is not much doubt about his previous experience.
However, Zhuge Qingyun accepted a commission to escort the caravan a few months ago, and after completing the task, he also brought back the Whirlpool Flower Language, so Danzo suspected that he had some adventure in the process? This made him
Strength increased dramatically.
Although Uzumaki Huayu was loyal to Zhuge Qingyun, she was weak after all. After she was secretly captured by the Root Ninja, she uncontrollably revealed all the secrets she knew under the illusion spell performed by the Root Ninja.
Although Xuanwu Huayu doesn't know Zhuge Qingyun's real secret, she does know that Zhuge Qingyun possesses Ice Crystal Escape and his battle with Scorpion in the Kingdom of Rain.
Now Danzo originally disliked Orochimaru, but now that he knows the huge secret hidden in Zhuge Qingyun, he will naturally not let Zhuge Qingyun off easily.
In order to prevent others from arousing suspicion, Danzo got the information he wanted from Uzumaki Hanayu, and then asked the root ninja to send her home, and at the same time used genjutsu to erase part of her memory.
…
In the ninja camp on the border of the Land of Fire, Orochimaru muttered to himself after reading the latest letter sent to him by Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Let Qingyun return to Konoha Village first. It seems that the teacher has other plans."
ah?"
In the letter sent by Sarutobi Hiruzen, the content first praised Commander Orochimaru for his merits, and then asked him to continue to guard the border to prevent the Iwa ninja from being evil. At the same time, he was also preparing to summon Zhuge Qingyun to return to Konoha first.
village.
Because Iwagakure will definitely not act rashly in the short term after this great defeat, and Orochimaru is responsible for guarding the border of the Land of Fire, so there is no need for Zhuge Qingyun to stay at the border.
After all, Zhuge Qingyun is proficient in the art of Flying Thunder God. It would be a waste of his talents to let him stay on the border like this, so Sarutobi Hiruzen is planning to recall him to Konoha Village and send him to perform other tasks.
Orochimaru quite agreed with Sarutobi Hiruzen's proposal, so after reading the contents of the letter, he asked Zhuge Qingyun to return to Konoha Village first.
However, what Orochimaru didn't know was that this time Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly proposed that Zhuge Qingyun return to Konoha Village first. This suggestion was actually made by Danzo to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
If Zhuge Qingyun is allowed to follow Orochimaru all the time, even if Danzo wants to attack Zhuge Qingyun, he will face Orochimaru's obstruction.
But now Orochimaru must guard the border of the Fire Country, and once Zhuge Qingyun is transferred back to Konoha Village alone, it will be much easier for Danzo to plot against him.
Although Zhuge Qingyun's strength cannot be underestimated, in Danzo's eyes he is just a little kid who has just turned ten, and it is much easier to deal with him than Orochimaru.
What's more, Zhuge Qingyun is Orochimaru's disciple. Once he makes a big mistake, Orochimaru is also to blame. Danzo may be able to take the opportunity to overthrow Orochimaru, leaving him one less competitor to compete for the position of Hokage.
…
"Hua Yu, I'm back!"
Since Zhuge Qingyun was proficient in the art of Flying Thunder God, he rushed to Konoha Village quickly after receiving the news from Orochimaru that he wanted to return to Konoha Village temporarily.
"Master!"
When Xuanhui Huayu, who was cleaning the courtyard, heard Zhuge Qingyun's voice, her delicate body trembled slightly, a smile of great joy appeared on her pretty face, and she hurriedly ran to the door.
"Master, it's great that you're okay."
After Xuanwo Huayu ran to Zhuge Qingyun, she first looked at him carefully with some worry. After finding that he was not injured, she hugged him hard in her arms.
Although Xuanwuhuayu has always called Zhuge Qingyun "young master", after this period of getting along, the relationship between the two of them is more like family.
And ever since Zhuge Qingyun rescued Xuanwu Huayu from a desperate situation, his importance in Xuanwu Huayu's heart has been unparalleled. She values Zhuge Qingyun more than her own life.
Zhuge Qingyun looked at Xuanxiu Huayu who was full of joy, touched his stomach and said: "Huayu, I'm hungry."
"Master, I'm going to prepare food for you right now."
Half an hour later, Zhuge Qingyun looked at the sumptuous food in front of him and couldn't help but smile: "It smells so good~ Hua Yu, I haven't eaten your food for a long time, so today I can really enjoy it..."
"Master, I...I..."
Zhuge Qingyun noticed Xuanwu Huayu's somewhat tangled expression, and while eating the delicacies in front of him, he said without raising his head: "Don't be hesitant, just tell me if you have something to say!"
"Master, I suspect that I have been under an illusion and have also lost part of my memory."
Hearing the words, Xuanwu Huayu bit her lip, and finally expressed her worries.
"..."
When Zhuge Qingyun heard this, he paused slightly, put down the rice bowl in his hand, turned to look at Xuanwuhuayu, and asked with a serious face: "Why do you have such suspicion?"
"Master, you know my past life experience. In order to prevent being attacked in the middle of the night, I would make several inconspicuous little alarm devices around the windows and doors every night when I went to bed."
Uzumaki Flower thought for a while and said: "After entering Konoha Village, this habit of mine has not changed, but when I got up yesterday morning, I found that those small organs had been tampered with, and the hair I had caught in the small organs fell out.
