Kakashi knew that although Yugao was taken away and might be locked up for a few days, her life was not in danger.
If he used this opportunity to cause trouble.
Uchiha Shin might just kill her.
Therefore.
He compromised again.
Uchiha Shin was satisfied with Kakashi's ability to know when to advance and when to retreat.
He no longer dwelled on this issue.
Instead, he assigned work to the newly appointed advisors, elders, ministers, and cadres, demanding that Konoha return to normal operations in the shortest possible time.
At the same time.
The events that took place in Konoha last night were now rapidly spreading throughout the world!
Land of Fire.
A certain hot spring!
A middle-aged man with white hair was sleazily leaning on the wall outside the hot spring, peeking at the scenery inside through a gap.
He drooled as he peeked.
"Wow, this one is not bad, full-figured."
"This one is not bad either, petite and exquisite."
"This one is even more beautiful!"
At this moment.
A figure suddenly appeared behind him.
He reacted quite quickly. Before that person could.
He took that person down with a backhand.
"Hmph, what little thief dares to disturb the Toad Sage's elegant pleasure."
That's right, the middle-aged man with white hair was the legendary Konoha Sannin—Jiraiya!
"Lord Jiraiya, it's me!!!" that person quickly shouted.
"A Root ninja, right?" Jiraiya glanced at the person and said confidently.
"Lord Jiraiya has sharp eyes!" that person said respectfully.
"Hmph, that annoying smell on you, I knew it was Root as soon as I smelled it. Go on, what do you want from me?" Jiraiya pouted and said with some impatience.
He hated Danzo, and by extension, he didn't like Danzo's subordinates, so he didn't bother with pleasantries.
"A letter from Lord Danzo for you!" that person quickly took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Jiraiya.
Jiraiya took it nonchalantly and opened it directly.
He was not afraid at all that Danzo would play any tricks in the letter.
But upon reading it, his expression instantly became solemn.
In the end, it became even more unsightly.
What Danzo wrote in the letter was everything that had happened last night.
It actually included the killing of Sarutobi Hiruzen and the two advisors.
And the slaughter of the Shimura, Utatane, and Mitokado clans.
At the end of the letter, Danzo also invited Jiraiya to the Capital of the Land of Fire.
After reading the entire letter.
Jiraiya fell completely silent.
An unknown amount of time passed.
"Is what's in the letter true? The old man was really killed by Uchiha Shin?"
"It's absolutely true!" that person said.
"I understand. I will go to the Capital of the Land of Fire!" Jiraiya said coldly.
"Then this humble one will take his leave!"
With that, the person instantly disappeared from Jiraiya's sight.
"Old man, old man! Although even I couldn't stand the things you did, for you to leave so suddenly, it really caught me off guard.
But, no matter what, we were master and disciple. I will get justice for you!" Jiraiya murmured to himself.
He had lost all interest in admiring the beautiful women in the hot spring just a wall away.
…
"Big, big, big!!!"
"Two, three, three, eight points, small!!"
"Great, Lady Tsunade, I won again!"
At a gambling table.
A few gamblers were gathered around.
Among them, a mature woman with blonde hair was the most eye-catching.
Beside her was a young girl holding a piglet.
It was Shizune.
When Shizune saw Tsunade win another round.
She immediately cheered in surprise.
You must know, Tsunade's gambling, she lost ten out of ten times.
She was nicknamed the Big Sucker.
Shizune had never seen Tsunade win so much money.
With this money, they would have a place to stay and dinner for the night.
And they wouldn't have to be chased by debt collectors.
So happy.
However.
Tsunade did not feel happy. Instead, because she kept winning money, she couldn't help but frown her beautiful brows.
According to the law that winning money means bad things are about to happen.
Something must have happened!
While Tsunade was silent.
A figure appeared in the gambling house.
"Who are you?" Shizune was immediately on alert.
She thought the person had seen Tsunade win money and was here to cause trouble.
Tsunade glanced at the person.
"A Root ninja?"
"Yes, Lady Tsunade!" the person was not surprised and replied directly.
Then he took out a letter and handed it to Tsunade.
"Lord Danzo asked me to pass this to you!"
Tsunade did not take it.
Instead, Shizune took a step forward.
"Give me the letter!"
The person glanced at Shizune.
He did not refuse and directly gave the letter to Shizune.
After Shizune received the envelope, she opened it directly and read it.
The content of the letter was similar to the one given to Jiraiya.
It was all about what had happened last night, and it also invited Tsunade to the Capital of the Land of Fire for a meeting.
Shizune only took one look and couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
"What? Lord Third is dead?"
Tsunade's expression froze!
"Lady Tsunade, something big has happened. Last night, the Uchiha clan launched a coup, killed Lord Third and the two advisors, and slaughtered the Shimura, Utatane, and Mitokado clans!"
Shizune said with a panicked expression.
Danzo's letter, naturally, would not be biased towards the Uchiha clan.
He would blacken the Uchiha as much as he could.
"Let me see!" Tsunade couldn't sit still anymore and snatched the letter from Shizune's hand.
She read it carefully from beginning to end.
In the end, her brows were tightly furrowed.
"So, the old man is dead?!"
"Yes, Lady Tsunade!" the person replied.
"The old man is dead, the two advisors are also dead. Why isn't Danzo dead? That old fellow couldn't have deserted in the middle of a battle, could he!" Tsunade couldn't help but mock.
"Lady Tsunade, please watch your tone!"
If the master is humiliated, the subordinate dies. Although that person was just a small fry, he couldn't tolerate others talking about Danzo like that.
"Alright, get lost. I will go to the Capital of the Land of Fire!" Tsunade said with some irritation.
"Then this humble one will take his leave!" With that, the person left directly.
After the Root ninja left.
Tsunade had no interest in continuing to gamble.
She walked directly outside.
"Lady Tsunade, wait for me!"
Shizune saw this.
She immediately gathered the money Tsunade had won, packed it up, and took it with her.
This was their living expenses for the future, it couldn't be lost.
The gamblers in the gambling house did not stop them.
Because they all knew that the Big Sucker was not to be trifled with.
You could win her money.
But robbing her, snatching her money?
The consequences would be tragic.
Land of Rice Paddies, Otogakure.
At this time, although Orochimaru had not yet left the Akatsuki.
He had already begun to create a force that belonged solely to him.
At this time, Otogakure was being managed and was flourishing.
At this moment.
Orochimaru not only received the message from Danzo.
But also received intelligence from his spies within Konoha.
"Interesting! I originally thought that sensei would eventually die at my hands, but I didn't expect him to die at the hands of a sixteen-year-old boy. How shameful, sensei…"
"Uchiha Shin? What an interesting genius!"
"A person like this is too valuable for research!"
"Since that's the case, then I'll go to the Capital of the Land of Fire and meet Danzo!"
