Naruto, this is called Kuuga, not White Zetsu

Feeling the hand that was supporting her stiffen instantly, Seto Chihiro stood up and explained, "Don't worry, it wasn't Orochimaru who did it. My clone was damaged by Senior Sister Shizune. But why would Senior Sister Shizune damage my clone?"

Why did he destroy the clone later? Seto Chihiro was a little confused. He had clearly stopped attacking before. Was it to create an atmosphere that would paralyze himself and not destroy the clone?

"It's probably you, a little brat, who has provoked Shizune for no reason. Shizune is not the type to hit people casually."

Jiraiya walked over, hugged his elbow with his left hand and rubbed his chin with his right hand. He remembered that the last time he saw Shizune was when he and Tsunade met her by chance a few years ago. At that time, Shizune was still a well-behaved little girl.

Could it be like this? Seto Chihiro sorted out the memories of the shadow clone, thought about it for a while and didn't take it to heart. The most important thing now was to tell Kakashi the news that Orochimaru had returned to Konoha. As for Shizune, after explaining it to her in the evening, she agreed to let her clone stay in the Senju base.

"Master Jiraiya, do you have anything else to say? If not, I won't bother you while you're collecting materials."

"Isn't there something else going on?" Hearing Seto Chihiro's hint, Jiraiya chuckled, his lips curled up slightly: "Are you planning to go to the Anbu? I'll go with you, just in time to see what the outstanding juniors of Konoha have become now when they left."

Seeing his frivolous look, Seto Chihiro did not refuse. As one of the three ninjas of Konoha, what he said was always more credible than what he and Izumi said.

......

Anbu, Hatake Kakashi held his forehead with both hands and said with some concern: "Master Jiraiya, you mean to say that Orochimaru is likely to attack the bloodline limit of the Senju, Uzumaki, and Uchiha clans, right?"

Jiraiya shook his head and looked at Seto Chihiro: "This brat made this guess after I told him that Orochimaru came to Konoha, but from what I have tracked and understood about Orochimaru over the past few years, I can see that he is very interested in all types of bloodline limits."

Orochimaru... Kakashi's eyes trembled, and he thought of the pair of inhuman snake eyes when Orochimaru defected...

I was clearly injured at that time, but the simple murderous aura made me lose the will to fight him...

Taking a deep breath, Kakashi rested his chin on his right hand, glanced back and forth at Seto Chihiro and Uchiha Izumi, and said in a deep voice: "Seto Chihiro, Uchiha Izumi... Before the return of the Third Hokage and Tsunade-sama, all your Anbu patrol missions are cancelled.

There will be an Anbu team to strengthen patrols in the two areas, and there will also be a barrier team to search for Orochimaru's whereabouts."

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The voices of Uchiha Izumi and Seto Chihiro echoed in the office.

Jiraiya looked at the scene in front of him with tears in his eyes. If Minato was still alive, he would probably be very happy to see Kakashi become such an excellent ninja.

Compared to Minato Namikaze, everyone seems not good enough. He did not expect that such an outstanding disciple would die on the night of the Nine-Tails.

I remember that Minato and Kushina had a child before they died, and I don't know what happened to that child.

Jiraiya was lost in thought. Ever since the Great Toad Sage told him that the future would change eight years ago, he has been looking for the two children of prophecy for the sake of peace in the ninja world. Even Minato's funeral was not attended by his children, so he didn't know how the child is doing now.

Minato's child should be called Naruto, right?

Thinking of this, Jiraiya's mouth curled up. He remembered that Minato had said before that he would name the unborn child Naruto. If it weren't for the child of prophecy, he might have met the child a long time ago.

"Chihiro, is there anything else you want to do?"

A voice at the side interrupted Jiraiya's thoughts. He was still waiting for the two members to leave the ANBU so that he could ask about the whereabouts of Minato's child.

"The Senju clan's and the Uchiha clan's bases are geographically separated and quite far from each other. If the Anbu are asked to take care of both places at the same time, will there be a shortage of manpower?" Seto Chihiro asked doubtfully.

"You can rest assured about this. After the Hokage succession ceremony begins, the village will not send any missions to any jonin in the next few days. The jonin who are out on missions will return one after another today and tomorrow to strengthen the security within the village..."

Hatake Kakashi patiently explained the situation inside the village.

After the entire Konoha started the Hokage succession ceremony, the entire village can be said to be at its weakest stage, or it can be said that everyone is on alert. It is weak because the village has lost the protection of the Hokage, and everyone is on alert because the alert level after the village started the Hokage succession ceremony is no less than the alert level during the previous battle with the Hidden Mist Village. Anyone who is suspicious will be pulled in for investigation.

"...Whether it is the Senju clan's base or the Uchiha clan's base, if there is a problem, even if the Anbu in the village does not take action, the surrounding ninjas will go to support them."

After Hatake Kaka finished his story, he rubbed his eyebrows and felt a little headache.

Seto Chihiro is a big trouble. Before leaving, Tsunade told him to pay special attention to Seto Chihiro. Because of Tsunade's preference for her, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked the Anbu to make many exceptions for this little kid.

As the leader of the Anbu, some of the things he just explained can be said, while some cannot be said, but he just told this little kid all of these things.

Lord Jiraiya in the room is not a big deal. This kid is a member of Lord Tsunade's clan, so it's okay. If Kakashi guessed correctly, Uchiha Izumi might become Tsunade's close bodyguard in the future. After all, there are not many people who become team leaders from the beginning in this era.

If he had known that this brat would have so much trouble after entering the Anbu, he would never have taken the initiative to enlighten this brat.

Kakashi exhaled helplessly, his voice a little tired: "So, do you have anything else to say? Just one more thing, Captain Shui, what just happened cannot be spread to the outside world."

"I understand, Captain Kakashi." After a brief moment of confusion, Uchiha Izumi replied hurriedly.

No, why would Orochimaru choose to come back at this time? Why would he have such an idea when the whole village was on alert?

The curiosity on Seto Chihiro's face faded away, and she felt that things were becoming increasingly complicated.

Kakashi found a sealed document from the various documents on the table: "In fact, since a month ago, the village's barrier has not been triggered by anyone else, and the guards at the gate of Konoha Village have not found any suspicious people entering Konoha."

Seeing Seto Chihiro looking thoughtful, Kakashi stood up from his chair, without any obvious impatience, and squatted in front of him.

"Perhaps Tsunade-sama's departure makes you feel a little uneasy, but you have to understand that this is Konoha. Even though the Nine-Tails Night happened seven years ago, there are still 400 jonin, more than 4000 chunins, and tens of thousands of genins in the village. Add in the ninjas from several families, and the number will only increase."

Having said that, Kakashi looked at the white-haired man standing nearby.

"Although Lord Hokage and Lady Tsunade are not here now, there are still ninjas like Lord Jiraiya who are not inferior to Orochimaru."

Jiraiya put his hand on Seto Chihiro's shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't listen to Kakashi's nonsense. I am much stronger than Orochimaru now. However, as Kakashi said, this is Konoha, one of the five hidden villages."

Chapter 38: The Closed-minded

"Captain Kakashi, Master Jiraiya, I understand what you mean. Can I take advantage of these few days off and not go to the Ninja School?"

"Not going to ninja school?"

Jiraiya and Kakashi looked at each other and saw smiles in each other's eyes. This kid actually doesn't like going to school so much.

Seto Chihiro scratched the back of his head and said helplessly to the two of them, "I want to invite Sister Quan and Sister Mikoto to visit the Senju clan's residence in the next few days. Since that night, I haven't seen Sister Mikoto smile for a long time."

"You still..." Kakashi wanted to say something, but Jiraiya beside him interrupted him.

"Seto Chihiro, I understand why you don't want to go to school. I didn't like going to school either. Compared to going to school, I preferred to go to get... cough cough cough, sorry for going off topic."

Because Chihiro and Izumi had taken off their masks in the office, Jiraiya saw that their expressions were becoming increasingly strange. He coughed twice to clear his throat and slightly concealed the embarrassment on his face.

"I got off topic just now. You still need to go to the Ninja Academy. After all, life without attending the Ninja Academy is incomplete. Only after attending the Ninja Academy can you become a true Konoha ninja."

"Is that so? I understand, Master Jiraiya. I will still insist on going to school these few days. Then I will say goodbye to Sister Izumi."

Seto Chihiro acted as if he understood. It didn't matter whether he asked or not about the Uchiha clan's visit. He just wanted to inform Kakashi. He turned to look at Uchiha Izumi, stretched out his right hand to grab the corner of Uchiha Izumi's clothes, and turned to walk towards the door.

boom!

Until the door closed again and the figure outside the door could no longer be seen on the monitor, Kakashi sat back in his chair and looked at Jiraiya in confusion.

Jiraiya picked up the secret document about the 'Nine-Tails Jinchuriki' on the table and began to read it without the consent of the Anbu chief in front of him.

"Perhaps this is why Tsunade let him go to school. Although he is outstanding in every aspect, if he wants to survive in Konoha, he needs to meet more people and make more friends. Only in this way can he truly open his closed heart."

"Open your closed heart?"

Looking at Jiraiya who made such a guess, Kakashi fell into a trance for a moment. Although he had never suddenly joined a village, he had the experience of closing his heart, but was Seto Chihiro really such a person?

No, maybe he is more miserable than me. Kakashi suddenly remembered the Anbu application form that Tsunade submitted for Seto Chihiro before he joined the Anbu. Both his parents died when he was young, and his grandfather was killed by a passing ninja when he was four years old. If he also had such an experience, what would he become without anyone to guide him?

Without having experienced the nourishment of family and friendship, how did he come out of the loss of his last relative, and finally take the initiative to rescue the Uzumaki orphans and look for Tsunade...

Tsunade...

Lady Tsunade...

Kakashi suppressed his curiosity about Seto Chihiro and narrowed his eyes.

"But if Uchiha Mikoto and Uchiha Izumi really take the remaining Uchiha clan to the Senju clan, and are seen by other clans, they will probably think that the Senju clan has annexed the Uchiha clan, which will have a great impact on the appointment of Konoha's Fifth Hokage!"

"Kakashi, don't worry. Just like that brat said, it's just to let Uchiha Mikoto go to the Senju clan's base to play for a few days. There will definitely be no big problems."

Jiraiya said casually without even looking up, rumors need to be spread actively by someone with an interest in doing so, but the major ninja clans in Konoha would never allow such misunderstandings to occur.

It may sound a bit cruel, but it's not that the Third Hokage is old, but that the Third Hokage has been in office for too long. The changes in the Sarutobi clan over the years have been seen by the Konoha ninja clan, and these clans are more eager than anyone else to change a new leader.

What Kakashi didn't expect was that Jiraiya would actually say this, with no intention of dissuading him at all. Is it really okay to let this behavior continue?

Even though Jiraiya said it was no big deal, but as the chief captain of Konoha's Anbu, if he knew this would happen and did not stop it, it would be a dereliction of duty as the chief captain of Anbu.

Kakashi glanced at the white-haired man beside him. From a speculative point of view, Orochimaru's sneaking into Konoha was more like a lie that Orochimaru deliberately told at the time in order to attract Jiraiya's attention.

At such a critical moment as the Fifth Hokage succession ceremony, there can be absolutely no room for carelessness.

"Tenzo."

The door of the Anbu office was silently pushed open, and a ninja wearing a strange metal mask on his face walked in.

moment.

Kakashi didn't care whether the ink had dried or not, and hurriedly rolled up the scroll he had just written on, picked up the list of patrol team members and placed it on it.

"Please give these documents to the heads of the major families in Konoha, and notify the Anbu teams in Konoha to patrol according to the latest patrol routes, and have them notify all the jonin in Konoha to be alert to Orochimaru sneaking into Konoha."

After packing these things up and pushing them to Tenzo, Kakashi explained.

"Orochimaru sneaked into Konoha? At this point in time, Orochimaru sneaked into Konoha?"

The storage scroll had just been opened and spread out on the table when the arm holding the intelligence scroll stiffened. Tenzang glanced at Jiraiya beside him and said in surprise, "How could Orochimaru sneak into Konoha when Konoha had Jiraiya, who was also one of the Three Ninjas, and a large number of Konoha ninjas?"

What on earth was he trying to do? This was clearly not a wise move.

"There is no news about Orochimaru in other parts of the ninja world yet. In this case, we must be on guard at all times to prevent this from happening."

Even if Tenzang didn't ask just now, thanks to Tenzang's long-term cooperation, Kakashi could see the doubts in the other party's heart at a glance and explained it to him carefully.

"I understand. I will deliver these things to these clan leaders as quickly as possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tianzang disappeared in the office.

Kakashi stood up from his chair again. Facing this moment, as the captain of the Anbu, he also had to offer his own strength.

"Master Jiraiya? What are you doing?"

Under the light, Jiraiya looked up at Kakashi, then at the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki file in his hand. His lips moved, but he didn't know where to start talking about his inner thoughts...

Chapter 39: Alternative Uses of Transfiguration

Even though the Nine-Tails Night happened seven years ago, there are still 400 jonin, more than 4000 chuunin, and tens of thousands genin in the village. Even if Tsunade and Sarutobi Hiruzen are not in Konoha, Jiraiya, who is also one of the three ninjas, is there, so there is no reason for Orochimaru to sneak into Konoha.

Have you asked Danzo Shimura if he believes what you said?

Shimura Danzo covered his right eye, hid Orochimaru in his Root Base, and said righteously: "I believe it!"

Why did even Danzo say he believed it?

Seto Chihiro thought about it and came up with a more reliable answer.

The answer is actually very simple. Orochimaru really has no reason to sneak into Konoha. He just needs to tell Danzo and Danzo will bring him in obediently.

Of course, it is also possible that the old man has some unspeakable secrets, and Orochimaru may not have mentioned this matter yet, but he has actively invited Orochimaru to participate in his "Konoha Collapse Plan - Shimura Danzo Version".

So what exactly is this "Konoha Collapse Plan - Shimura Danzo Version"? And what kind of harm will it bring to Seto Chihiro?

The first question cannot be answered because this is a plan that Seto Chihiro made up specifically to imitate the Hidden Wind Village. If you want to know this plan in person, you must go to Danzo's dream yourself.

As for the latter question, without involving the previous question, Seto Chihiro can talk about it in detail based on the hundreds of episodes of Naruto she watched in her previous life.

First, he will meet Orochimaru...

Then, Orochimaru will tell him about the meaning of life and make him understand that life is meaningless in this world...

Finally, since he has been to college, when faced with this philosophical question, he will talk to Orochimaru, reject Orochimaru's invitation, and then have a fierce battle with Orochimaru...

As for how fierce the battle was?

This depends on whether he will use his ultimate trump card 'hensin' in the end. It is unlikely that he will have any hope of killing Orochimaru, but it is still very possible to force a 55- victory.

Apart from the Great Fire Extinguishing, Breaking the Path Seventy-three, Twin Lotus Blue Fire Falling, Uchiha Flame Array, Super Strength Fist, Painful Heaven Kick and other skills that are being perfected, there are no other means of output.

And the arc shape of the tree?

Even Yagura who was controlled by the tiger masked man knew the shortcomings of this jutsu. Orochimaru might have known to go to a place where there were no trees after using it a few times?

This technique can only work best in an environment with a lot of trees.

By the way, Orochimaru might be proficient in various sealing techniques. After all, he can even study curse seals, so it’s impossible for him to master one or two sealing techniques.

If during the battle, he directly used the Bagua seal on the outer layer of reinforced protein and organic matter, he would not even be able to use the Aguru Belt.

When the time comes, he will be put directly into a barrel and taken away, and there will be no need to worry about him being alive and kicking.

Seto Chihiro walked out of the long and narrow corridor of the Anbu base. The hot wind blowing towards her stirred up the heat in her heart. She turned her head to look at Uchiha Izumi, who seemed to sense something and turned his head to respond with a smile.
