Naruto, this is called Kuuga, not White Zetsu

Thinking of this, Danzo suddenly laughed. He had already thought of what crime Seto Chihiro would bear. In order to show his strength, he would release Kinkaku and Ginkaku, and then be killed by Kinkaku and Ginkaku accidentally? As long as the little devil died at the hands of Kinkaku and Ginkaku, it would make perfect sense.

Now Danzo Shimura has completely lost his mind. He has never thought about why Chihiro Seto can release such a powerful Wood Release, nor has he thought about why Kinkaku and Ginkaku were sealed.

What he didn't know was that under the dim light, a white face in the corner gradually disappeared.

For ninjas, extremes are the most common. People like Naruto and Jiraiya are ultimately a minority.

Danzo couldn't give up this opportunity because he had no other choice. Just imagine, you have been using any means to achieve your goal for many years, and this time you even reached a deal with the rebellious ninja in the village. You thought you had a sure win, but an accident still happened later. You might ruin your future because of your own actions.

Do you happen to have the ultimate skill to manipulate others? Will you choose to wait quietly for the final result, or give it a try?

The answer is obvious.

At the same time, the Ninja Academy was destroyed in the war between Orochimaru and Jiraiya. After discussion, the school finally decided to give a holiday of exactly 4 days. Seto Chihiro sent Mikoto and her group of 9527 back to the Uchiha clan's territory. When they returned to their room, crawled out from the floor and told them the information they had just discovered.

"You mean to say that Shimura Danzo sent Aburame Ryoma to monitor me and asked Ryoma to investigate the whereabouts of the Red Gourd and whether the Root members will take action tonight?"

"Yes, Master Chihiro, the man called Ryoma is from the Aburame clan. He is good at using bugs to gather intelligence, and he is also good at using bugs to launch attacks."

Seto Chihiro walked to the bed, then sat on the stone bench and began to think.

After sealing Kinkaku and Ginkaku, Danzo's plan has been disrupted by him. Danzo's search for the Red Gourd does have traces to follow, because this involves Danzo's reputation, but the Root will take action tonight, and Aburame Ryoma is personally monitoring him, which is obviously aimed at him.

After thinking it over, he felt that with the way things had developed to this point, it was time for this Pot Shadow to go offline. If the old man was still alive, he might cause some trouble. So he asked 9527 to continue monitoring Danzo and report immediately if anything happened, while he waited until an extremely weak chakra appeared at the door.

Seto Chihiro seemed not to feel anything and walked straight out of the room and headed towards the training ground.

Shikamaru, Ino, and Choji usually come out to play in the afternoon. The little girl's chakra is water, earth, yin, and yang. She was practicing the Water Dragon Bullet Technique on the training ground at this time, and she saw him when she looked up.

"Master Chihiro!"

Seto Chihiro noticed that Karin, who originally had a wrinkled face, smiled when she saw him. He also smiled and said, "Karin, you learn the Water Dragon Bullet Technique very quickly!"

Great! I was praised by Chihiro!

Karin couldn't help but cheer in her heart, but on the surface she lowered her head slightly, with a very calm expression, except that her face was a little red.

"Ah, um, um, it was Chihiro-sama who gave me the Water Dragon Bullet Technique, so I was able to learn it so quickly. If it wasn't for Chihiro-sama who gave it to me... Anyway, it was because of Chihiro-sama that I was able to learn it."

Seto Chihiro nodded. Karin was still so shy, and she hadn't changed much from before, but...

Is this shyness? Why does it look a little strange?

Looking at Karin's occasional stealing glances, he felt something was wrong, but when he thought that not everyone could be as shy as Hinata, he didn't think about it too much.

After all, everyone is different.

"Karin, actually I came here this time to give you something."

"You got something for me?"

"That's right. I have both Kinkaku and Ginkaku's ninja tools. However, one of them is of little use to me. Karin, you are from the Uzumaki clan and you are born with very strong chakra. I will give you this palm-leaf fan."

Seto Chihiro pulled out the scroll and a red and white fan appeared in his hand.

The Basana Fan is one of the few ninja tools left behind by the Six Paths Sage. Unlike the Hokkien Rope, the Red Gourd, and the Seven Star Sword, it can be used alone, ignoring the properties of its own chakra. It can release weapons with five changing properties: water, fire, wind, lightning, and earth, according to the user's wishes. Apart from the fact that it consumes a bit more chakra, there is no other certainty.

For Seto Chihiro, with the same amount of chakra, he can release a large Rasengan, which is as powerful as the ninjutsu stored in this fan, so the Basana fan is a bit useless in his hands.

Rather than letting it rot in my hands, I might as well give it to Karin. Karin happens to have a good amount of chakra, and after she comes of age, she should be able to use it at will.

"Is this really for me?"

"Yes, this is a gift for you. From now on, this fan belongs to you for safekeeping."

After taking the fan, Karin immediately held it in her arms, squinting her eyes with joy, and was obviously very satisfied with this gift.

Ninja tools are not important; the most important thing is who gave them to you.

Should I hang it in my room? I can see it when I open my eyes in the morning? Forget it, I'll just carry it on my back. Although it doesn't look good, it's the first gift from Chihiro.

While Karin was thinking about what gift to give Chihiro-sama, she put the fan on her back and accidentally saw a small bug on Seto Chihiro's head. Then her expression became a little confused.

"Master Chihiro, there is a bug in your hair... but it's so strange, why does this little bug have chakra in it?"

"There are bugs with chakra."

Seto Chihiro was stunned for a moment, then smiled brightly: "This bug might belong to Shino. I talked to Shino at that time."

"How strange, why is this chakra different from Shino's?"

"Because Shino would come into contact with his tribesmen, it is very likely that at that time, a bug from his tribesman accidentally flew onto me."

"Master Chihiro, it flew away."

"It's okay, it's just a bug. We can talk to Shino about this matter next time."

Chapter 65: Darkness at the Root

After explaining the correct way to use the fan, Seto Chihiro left the Senju clan's residence. She pinched the small black bug that was crawling on her body to death, carefully kept the bug in the palm of her hand, said something to Shizune, and slipped out of the Senju clan's territory.

Shisui's eyes are too dangerous. Although his supernatural power has now reached 6/10,000, just as the system described, the effects will change differently in different worlds. It is still unknown whether he can cooperate with the chakra in his body to resist Kotoamatsukami.

According to the original plan, after Tsunade became the Fifth Hokage, she would follow his instructions and little by little uncover the glorious deeds of Root leader Danzo, and then the Fifth Hokage would kill the old man. However, this plan still had some flaws, such as Shisui's right eye.

But now, Danzo suddenly colluded with Orochimaru and launched a terrifying attack on Konoha. The false mastermind, Chihiro, had already hinted in his words and deeds that this matter was not simple in front of Jiraiya and Orochimaru. Maybe under his thinking, Orochimaru had already made Danzo's name public at that time.

However, there is always a gap between reality and plan, just like the business war plan in the previous life, reality is always a few steps ahead of plan.

If Orochimaru had really said it at that time, he would probably be suspected and resented by Jiraiya because of this matter later.

Could it be that you are Orochimaru's experimental subject, a spy planted by him in Konoha?

You keep calling him Mr. Orochimaru and are so alert to him, as if you had predicted his appearance in advance. How could you be so amazing? Could it be that you and Orochimaru are playing a double act?

Especially since Orochimaru is well versed in psychology, he will be able to see through Jiraiya's thoughts. If he can produce an experimental record, it will definitely be able to explain it clearly, but the current situation will definitely change.

"Kid, it doesn't matter if you are a test subject."

"Could it be that they are colluding with Orochimaru this time?"

"Tsunade, I think this child needs to be kept under close supervision."

"Did you know? Lady Tsunade brought back an experiment of Orochimaru."

There will be people who believe in it, but by that time there will be many different voices in Konoha, and those voices will unsurprisingly have more or less power.

But it doesn't matter now, thanks to Jiraiya's obstruction, this situation will never happen again. However, a new problem has also arisen - Danzo seems to be desperate.

Based on the humanitarian way of thinking of "whoever proposes it, should solve it", Seto Chihiro felt that it would be better to leave this matter to Jiraiya.

Besides, Jiraiya has now begun to think about what the overall context of this matter is, right?

The most important point is that as one of the three ninjas, he should have been exposed to many dark sides of Konoha and is also aware of Danzo's reputation.

Isn't this taking advantage of Jiraiya a bit too much?

In fact, Jiraiya is the best candidate to deal with Danzo. Ninjutsu like Kotoamatsukami is used at critical moments, and Jiraiya is obviously not among Danzo's key candidates.

"Naruto, is Master Jiraiya home?"

...

"What, you said he went out? You don't know where he is?"

...

"Sorry, I just had dinner. You should have a good rest. Remember to go play with Sasuke when you have time."

Seto Chihiro walked downstairs and waved to the figure on the balcony. Looking at the insect's legs still trembling in her hand, she thought that Jiraiya was worthy of being one of the Three Ninjas, and his personality was still so impatient.

At the same time, in the Root Organization base, a toad looked at the empty corridor and couldn't help but croaked twice.

The shouting did not attract other figures. Only a few echoes remained and gradually disappeared. The toad standing in the corridor waited for two seconds. After making sure that there was no one else, he opened his mouth as wide as possible. An arm came out first, followed by the head and body of the whole person.

"Thank you. Remember to say hello to the Great Toad Immortal for me."

Jiraiya cancelled the summoning technique of the diving toad and stared at the dim surroundings for a long time without moving, with no expression of sadness or joy on his face.

Just now, Orochimaru used the Impure World Reincarnation Technique to attack Konoha. Except for a small number of ninjas who were out on missions, almost all the Anbu ninjas were unable to move.

Konoha's jonin suffered heavy casualties. Together with more than 500 jonin from various ninja clans, excluding those at the border and those with special professions such as the barrier squad and the sealing squad, there are still more than 300 jonin left. Among these more than 100 jonin, more than of them were stationed at the Konoha barrier and did not participate in the battle.

Among the remaining 200 jonin, 157 suffered minor injuries such as fractures, displaced internal organs, and coma, and will need about one to two months to recover.

Among the other jonin, more than 20 died immediately, more than 10 died in the logistics department after failed rescue efforts, and more than 10 jonin may lose their status as Konoha jonin due to amputation, etc.

Even with the timely evacuation, the death toll among Chunins and civilians exceeded one hundred, with only a handful of injured.

In fact, from the time Orochimaru officially launched the attack on Konoha to the time Kinkaku was sealed, it took less than an hour.

Apart from the continuous casualties among the Jonins, most of the casualties were caused by the indiscriminate attacks of Kinkaku and Ginkaku after they fell. Fukai was able to remain rational at the beginning, and even if he lost consciousness later, the damage he caused was not as much as those two guys.

If it weren't for Seto Chihiro, Kinkaku and Ginkaku breaking through the jonin team led by Kakashi and releasing the Nine-Tails, the death toll would have been even more explosive.

Looking back at the whole thing, perhaps only that child was always on guard against Orochimaru's attack.

If they had reported this matter to Kakashi from the beginning and asked the Uchiha clan to move into the Senju clan's residence, the number of casualties might not have been so high if they had made corresponding precautions at that time.

Even if we cannot completely avoid this incident from happening, we will definitely not be as passive as we were this morning.

The resurrected characters are not that difficult to seal. The most difficult thing about Fukai is his constantly recovering body and infinite chakra. The problem can be solved with more cooperation from the senior ninjas. Although the ninja tools of Kinkaku and Ginkaku are tricky, they don't have many useful ninjutsu. The Nine-Tails did not resonate with those two people at the beginning. Just the cooperation of Ino-Shika-Chou is enough to officially get rid of those two people.

It is such a simple matter, but due to various reasons, things have developed into what they are today.

[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.]

[......Or are you still unwilling to admit that I came here to help him become Hokage. ]

Jiraiya took a deep breath. This slap in the face came too quickly for him. In less than three days, he had become like this. He looked around, found the right direction, and walked towards the office of the Root Organization.

Although Konoha has now successfully overcome the current crisis, the real crisis has not yet been resolved. There is no need to guess who Orochimaru will help become Hokage.

There aren't many people in Konoha who have such a strong resentment towards the position of Hokage in the village and can even make a deal with Orochimaru.

"Let me see what these documents are."

"Root funding application... 10 billion ryo... Root organization expenditures... Experimental equipment... Root talent training, spies from various ninja villages... Kabuto? Kabuto Yakushi!... Wait, who is this person called Yakushi Nono?"

Jiraiya held the [Root Organization Mission Report] in his hand, which recorded in detail the deeds of Kabuto Yakushi and Nono Yakushi. The final mission of both of them was to kill an important spy in the Land of Earth.

There was no detailed description of the two people's mission targets, but he really wanted to know why Dou's name appeared in the root.

Was Kabuto also a ninja of Konoha before? But why is he now...

Jiraiya checked faster and faster, his brows furrowed constantly. According to the description in the record, this ninja named Kabuto should have been killed by the ninjas from the Land of Earth during the mission, but why did he become Orochimaru's subordinate now?

And why does that woman named Yakushi Nono require a picture of Yakushi Kabuto for every mission?

And why did the photo of Dou change so much in less than 4 years?

In the quiet room, Jiraiya was puzzled and flipped through the first and last photos of Kabuto. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, his eyes widened, and sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead.

The mission time is at night... The mission target is not recorded... Kabuto's photo changes every time... The spy Yakushi Nono betrayed Konoha and was killed by Konoha ninja, Yakushi Kabuto was discovered by the Land of Earth ninja and died without a complete body...

What if the two people wanted to kill each other, and Yakushi Nono was killed by Kabuto, and Kabuto was saved by Orochimaru?

In the dim room, Jiraiya silently wiped off the traces of having been read on the report and put it back. Although his expression was calm, he had indescribable complex emotions.

This feeling is like, you know there are cockroaches in the room, but the cockroaches don't affect you, so you don't care. Suddenly one day you quietly come to the cockroach house, only to find that the cockroaches eat people all day long. In addition to this horror that sweeps over his body, Jiraiya also has a feeling of self-blame, regret, and doubt.

"Danzo...what on earth did he do? Does the old man really know nothing?"

Jiraiya swallowed his saliva and then turned his eyes to Danzo's desk. The top document was so conspicuous, with a red '×' on Seto Chihiro's name.

On the other side, Seto Chihiro came to the Aburame clan’s residence, and the person who received him was the clan leader of the Aburame clan - Aburame Shiwei.

To be honest, if the uncle with sunglasses hadn't patted him on the shoulder, he wouldn't have known that this uncle was standing next to him, following behind him, silently recording his chakra in his heart.

"You are Shino's classmate - Seto Chihiro, right? The kid just mentioned your name in front of me, saying that if you hadn't been there this time, those two scary guys would have unlocked the seal on Naruto's body."

Seto Chihiro did not intend to take the credit for this incident. She picked up the teacup on the table and said, "It is all because of Jiraiya-sama's trust in me. It is also thanks to Naruto's chakra that I can use such a powerful ninjutsu."

Aburame Shizue shook her head slightly, somewhat disapprovingly: "You can use the Nine-Tails' chakra and still stay awake. There may not be many people in the entire ninja world who can do what you have done."

Aburame Shiwei, who participated in the Nine-Tails Night seven years ago, knows deeply the horror of the tailed beast's chakra. The parasite simply absorbs the chakra into its body and will be destroyed by the violent Nine-Tails' chakra.

"whee."

Seto Chihiro scratched the back of her head and did not refuse the compliment.
