Danzo stared at Itachi's back, gritting his teeth as he watched the latter walk out of the root.

Then.

"What the hell is going on!" He was angry at his subordinates, with an angry look on his face.

"I underestimated Uchiha Dan's strength, which led to the annihilation of the second team. I also fought with Dan, but I couldn't kill him, so I had to retreat first. It's my fault that this mission failed. Please Danzo

My lord punishes me."

Ryoma, the oily girl, took the initiative and took over the job without any complaints.

Danzo heard this and took a deep breath to calm down his anger.

He knew how strong Aburame Ryoma was, and also knew how loyal Ryoma was, and would never deceive him.

Even Ryoma is helpless. What kind of monster is that Uchiha Dan?

Think of this.

Danzo sat back on the chair and raised his hand to Ryoma who was kneeling on the ground: "Get up, I won't punish you this time."

Aburame Ryoma stood up and asked: "Are you still going to send people to assassinate Uchiha Dan?"

"Forget it, don't put more people inside for now, just pretend that nothing happened."

Danzo waved his hand and said.

He is not worried at all, Duan will cause trouble for him when he comes back.

after all.

Danzo had assassinated even the Hokage, but in the end it wasn't a big deal. Now he just assassinated an Uchiha. What's the problem?

In Konoha, no one can do anything to him.

He is the darkness of the ninja world.

Covering the sky with one hand.

"I will collect and sort out the information about Uchiha Dan in detail and report to you again," Aburame Ryoma said again.

"Well. We must find out his real weakness, do you understand?"

Danzo nodded and gave instructions to his subordinates.

Every ninja has weaknesses, and Uchiha Danzo is no exception, but Danzo has not found them yet.

Put this matter aside for now.

"This time we lost the second team, it's time to replenish the manpower at the root and absorb some fresh blood. Speaking of which, I haven't visited the major ninja clans for a while."

Danzo muttered to himself, pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked Aburame Ryoma, "By the way, have the Aburame clan had any good prospects recently?"

"I'll go back and ask."

Ryoma Aburame lowered her head and replied, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes under her sunglasses.

He is loyal to Danzo and Konoha, but he also loves his people, and he knows what joining the Roots means to them.

Itachi walked out of the root, his eyes flashing with incredible eyes.

Unexpectedly, even Genbu's carefully planned assassination failed to kill his uncle.

It must have been a thrilling and exciting battle.

Although Itachi didn't know the details of the battle, he guessed that his uncle must have used the same method against the masked man again to make Ryoma Aburame return without success, right?

Maybe, when his uncle comes back, he can try to ask.

but.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Itachi still hadn't waited for Duan to come back.

Early in the morning, he received a notice and went to the Hokage's office with Kakashi and Tenzo to meet the Sandaime.

Bada.

The Sandaime took a puff from his pipe, blew out a long smoke ring, and then said to Kakashi:

"The Kingdom of the Forest has obviously formed an alliance with our Konoha, and is secretly flirting with the Iwagakure Village. I have sent Metkai to lead a team to the border to exchange information scrolls with the Prajna of the Forest Kingdom, but after thinking about it, it still feels a little bit...

Don’t worry. You take the sixth team and follow Kai secretly. If the Prajna clan betrays Konoha, you know what to do.”

"yes."

Kakashi took the order and led the team to set off immediately.

Along the way, Itachi seemed to be worried.

Kakashi was a little surprised when he saw this, and asked lazily: "It's your first time to go out on a mission as an ANBU, are you nervous?"

Tianzang also patted Itachi on the shoulder and encouraged:

"Don't worry that you won't perform well. It's actually nothing. I even assassinated Lord Hokage. That was when I was ten years old..."

Tenzo was still at the root at that time, and he was ordered by Danzo to assassinate the Sandaime. After being defeated by the Hokage guard Kakashi, he abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side.

Weasel:6.

In fact, he was not nervous because of the task.

It's almost the end of the month, and in just over a week, the Uchiha clan meeting will be held.

Today, undercurrents are surging within the clan, and the contradiction between hawks and doves has become increasingly prominent.

Shisui met Itachi last night and told him solemnly:

This clan meeting may become a flash point for conflicts between the two factions. I hope Itachi can work with him to maintain peace within the clan.

in addition.

Itachi remembered that his uncle had previously agreed to his father's invitation and would attend the Uchiha clan meeting for the first time.

With my uncle's unpredictable character, I don't know what he will do at the clan meeting.

Think of these.

Itachi was confused for a moment, he had a premonition that something big would happen by then.

Therefore, he cannot miss this clan meeting.

What Itachi was worried about now was whether he would be able to get back in time if this mission took too long.

…

Within the Land of Fire.

Wearing a cloak and a bamboo hat on his head, he was walking on a forest path.

He was surrounded by a vast virgin forest, with birds and wild animals appearing from time to time. After walking for a long time, he arrived at a remote town.

The streets were deserted and devoid of smoke and smoke, with only a few sparse residential houses and convenience stores. A few crows sat on the telephone poles on the side of the road, occasionally calling strangely.

After taking the familiar road, we walked to the end of the street, entered a tall building, and went straight to the toilet.

Different time, same toilet.

Behind the secret door of this toilet is the underground gold exchange of the Fire Country.

Crunch.

Pushing through the door, he walked dozens of meters down the passage and arrived at the trading hall of the gold exchange.

Different from the openness and loneliness on the ground, there are a lot of people here, a large number of bounty ninjas, ronai and samurai are bustling and noisy.

The money exchange is a black market that circulates countless black money, intelligence and stolen goods, as well as...

Corpse.

In the world of ninjas, dead people are sometimes more valuable than living people, because corpses often contain important information.

The person who best proves this is Senju Hashirama, who is known as the God of Ninja.

His cells are comparable to Tang Monk's meat, whoever gets them will cheat.

If the first Hokage is cremated after his death, there won't be so many troubles in the future.

The morgue is the most popular department of the money exchange.

When Duan arrived here, several bounty hunters were queuing up with the bodies. After inspection and verification by the staff, the bodies were recovered on the spot and the bounties were distributed.

The price of corpses ranges from hundreds of thousands of taels to tens of millions of taels.

Of course, corpses worth tens of millions of taels are usually found in major ninja villages. High-level elites or S-class rebel ninjas may not be able to see even one throughout the year.

Duan is a high-level bounty hunter, codenamed "Araki", so there is no need to queue.

The boss of the money exchange will personally receive you.

"Mr. Araki, you are here."

A bald man with a scar on his face walked over quickly and welcomed Duan's arrival.

He glanced at the boss.

This person is just a businessman and a wage earner. The real boss behind the money exchange must be someone else.

But he is not interested in these things at all, he is just here to make money.
Chapter completed!
