Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 86 The Perverted Target

"The Third Hokage? Sarutobi!?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Danzo Shimura's face was filled with disbelief.

His relationship with Hiruzen Sarutobi is quite complicated.

From friends at the beginning, to teammates, and then to rivals.

The relationship has deteriorated over the decades, but the only thing that has remained unchanged is the mutual trust.

Even though they were now almost enemies, Shimura Danzo never thought of killing Sarutobi Hiruzen and becoming Hokage himself.

At least for now, Danzo Shimura has not had such thoughts.

But the phrase "You know too much" is too misleading.

Just a few days ago, Danzo Shimura had a showdown with Hiruzen Sarutobi in the Hokage's office, reminiscing about the past.

He was assassinated today.

He had no choice but to think about it.

Could it really be Sarutobi?

"Go to hell!"

Before Shimura Danzo could think further, Murata roared and tightened his wrist, intending to rip a hole in Shimura Danzo's chest.

"snort!"

Danzo Shimura snorted coldly, grabbed the katana with his bandaged hand, and then kicked Murata away.

Murata was sent flying backward and crashed into the stone wall. The intense pain caused him to break free of the genjutsu. However, the moment the genjutsu was broken, the chakra of Chiga that remained in Murata's brain began to surge violently.

"Aaaaaah!"

Murata clutched his head and screamed in agony, then fell silent shortly afterward.

After turning Murata's brain into a complete mess, Chiga's chakra finally dissipated.

"Lord Danzo, are you alright?"

His men surrounded Shimura Danzo and asked him with concern.

Danzo ignored it, and the wound on his chest began to heal slowly.

At that moment, a Root ninja who was examining Murata's body stepped forward and spoke to Shimura Danzo.

"Lord Danzo, the person is already dead!"

"Moreover, their minds have turned into mush, so even the mountain tribes can't extract any useful information from them."

Danzo Shimura nodded without surprise. Since he had already thought of using assassination, he would certainly not leave any loopholes.

Now, after his initial disbelief, Shimura Danzo has regained his senses.

"Investigate! We must catch this mastermind, and investigate every inch of the network!"

Danzo Shimura said hatefully to the ninjas under his command.

When did I, Danzo Shimura, become the one who was outsmarted by others?

He only needed to think for a moment to know that it couldn't be Hiruzen Sarutobi.

After all, the righteous and honorable Hiruzen Sarutobi still needs him to shoulder the darkness of the village.

However, he still couldn't figure out who had turned or controlled Murata and used such despicable means to deal with him!

After all, he had done too many things. Not to mention other countries, even many families in his own village disliked him.

There are too many enemies; it's impossible to filter them all out in a short time.

The Land of Hot Water, a small town.

[Negative emotions from Danzo Shimura, emotion value +99!]

This unexpected gain of emotional points made Qianhe smile.

It seems that Murata executed his plan perfectly.

Although she failed to kill the scourge Shimura Danzo, Chiga was still quite happy to have caused him some trouble.

This is just the beginning. Once I have the ability, I will definitely take control of the entire root system.

Then, when Minato came to power, he had this group of people carry Danzo to stage a coup.

"Chiga, why are you smiling so sinisterly?"

Kakashi felt a shiver run down his spine when he saw Chika's smile.

I always felt that there was an inexplicable chill in Chika's smile.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly wanted to soak in hot springs again, I'm looking forward to it."

Chiga gave a perfunctory reply.

"Alright, while finding Jiraiya-sensei is indeed a rare and relaxing task, we need to get down to business first before managing our time."

"We'll search this entire street today, then soak in the hot springs tonight!" Minato said, pointing to the seemingly endless street.

"Minato-sensei, where does Jiraiya-sama usually appear?"

Kakashi may have some understanding of Jiraiya's character, but it's certainly not as deep as Minato's.

Moreover, he still held a biased view of the Sannin at this moment. Even though he knew there were rumors in the village that the Sannin each had their own shortcomings, he believed they wouldn't be without any bottom line.

However, the water gate quickly shattered his first filter.

Three seconds after Kakashi finished speaking, Minato whispered, "Women's bath."

"Huh?! Minato-sensei, even at my age, I'd be considered a pervert for going into the women's bathhouse!"

Kakashi rolled his eyes and almost gave up.

Minato quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean for you to go into the women's bath. I meant the places around the women's bath where people can hide."

"For example, wooden crates, wine barrels, trash cans, and bushes, etc."

"Pay special attention to the bushes around the women's bath area; Jiraiya-sensei's bush-camping technique is very well concealed!"

Minato earnestly explained the secret to finding Jiraiya to Chika and Kakashi.

Kakashi regained his composure, but still remarked, "This still makes us look like perverts."

"We're not the perverts, they're our targets!"

Chiga was speechless. Fortunately, the two of them were still young, so even if they lingered around the women's bath, they wouldn't be considered perverts.

"Minato-senpai, are you also going to wander around the women's bath area like us?"

Chiga asked Minato.

Minato said seriously, "Sorry, but someone my age showing up near a women's bathhouse would really make me look like a pervert!"

"Huh?"

Chika glanced at Minato with disdain. "You've already become Jiraiya's disciple, so don't worry about your reputation outside."

Anyway, when people hear that he is Jiraiya's disciple, they will definitely think that a great teacher produces a great student, and that the student has surpassed the teacher.

Minato ignored Chiga's gaze and continued earnestly, "Besides the area around the women's bathhouse, Jiraiya-sensei also likes to go to places like izakayas and Kabukicho, so I went there to look for him."

"Tsk tsk, it seems Minato-senpai is ready to let loose after arriving in the Land of Hot Springs. Has he forgotten about someone in Konoha?"

Chiga gave a sinister laugh.

"Don't talk nonsense. The two of you shouldn't be in a place like that. Chiga, when you get back, you must explain to Kushina that I sacrificed myself to complete the mission!"

"You have no idea how terrifying these places are. The girls there—I mean, the women there are like wolves and tigers. Any man who goes in will be completely drained."

"You're all still young, so only I, the Jonin leading the team, can shield you from this pain!"

Minato replied in a very serious tone, and by the end, he had a completely righteous and awe-inspiring air about him.
