As the corpse turned into white smoke and entered the scroll, it left quickly in one direction.

Muye Village, root base.

Danzo and Uchiha Itachi, one old and one young, have been waiting for almost an hour.

Danzo was calm and relaxed, sitting on a chair with his eyes closed, not worried about any accidents.

Itachi stood aside, looking solemnly in the direction of the base entrance.Although he didn't believe that his uncle would die so easily, he was still anxious.

And, as time passed, so did the anxiety within him.

"Itachi, are you still fantasizing?"

Danzo's voice suddenly sounded.

He saw through Itachi's innocent fantasy, and opened his mouth mercilessly:

"The old man sent out the root elite team. The members in it are people who specialize in restraining Uchiha's ability. In addition, Ryoma has also gone. You should know what this means."

Hearing this, Itachi's whole body trembled, his body swayed for a moment, and he almost lost his footing.

He didn't expect that Danzo would be so ruthless.

Leaving aside the so-called elite squad, Yume Ryoma is the No. [-] figure in Genbu. She once served as Danzo's guard with Orochimaru, and her strength is comparable to that of Sannin.

Only then did Itachi realize:

Uncle this time, I'm afraid it's really bad luck.

Danzo was very satisfied with Itachi's reaction, pretended to sigh again, and continued:

"Although I promised to hand over Suan's body to you, if Ryoma takes action, your uncle may die without a complete body. Alas, I can only hope that Suan won't resist too fiercely, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Itachi almost despaired, his face ashen.

In such torment.

After an unknown amount of time, a figure appeared at the entrance of the root base, and the oil girl Ryoma finally returned.

"Master Danzo." The oil girl Ryoma knelt on one knee and lowered her head as soon as she came back.

"Say."

Danzo frowned when he saw this, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

The oil girl Ryoma raised her head, glanced at Itachi, hesitated for two seconds, and reported truthfully:

"We...failed."

what? !

Danzo and Itachi were shocked when they heard this.

silence.

Since the oil girl Ryoma spoke, the root base fell into a deathly silence, and no one spoke.

Kaka.

Danzo clenched the crutch in his hand, the veins on the back of his hand bulged, his brows were tightly frowned, and he was on the verge of an explosion.

The atmosphere is dignified and suffocating.

At this time, Itachi came back to his senses, bowed politely to Danzo, and said in a cold tone:

"Danzo-sama, Anbu still has something to do, so I'll take my leave first."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Danzo to answer, he turned and left.

I didn't save any face.

Chapter 31, Codename Araki

Danzo stared at Itachi's back, gritted his teeth and watched the latter walk out of the roots.

then.

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

"I underestimated the strength of Uchiha Duan, which caused the entire second team to be annihilated. I also fought against Duan, but I couldn't kill him, so I had to retreat first. The failure of this mission is my fault, please Danzo Your Excellency will punish you."

The oily girl Ryoma took the initiative to take over the pot without complaint.

Hearing this, Danzo took a deep breath to calm down his anger.

He knows how strong the oil girl Ryoma is, and how loyal Ryoma is, and he will never deceive him.

Even Ryoma is at a loss what to do, what kind of monster is that Uchiha Duan?

thought here.

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."

Oil girl Ryoma stood up and asked, "Should we continue to send people to assassinate Uchiha Duan?"

"Forget it, don't put more people in it for the time being, just pretend nothing happened."

Danzo waved his hand.

He wasn't worried at all, and he would trouble him when he got back.

after all.

He Danzo even assassinated Hokage, and in the end it wasn't a shit, but now he just assassinated a Uchiha person, what's the problem.

In this Konoha, no one can do anything to get him.

He is the darkness of the ninja world.

Cover the sky with one hand.

"About the information about the Uchiha break, I will re-collect and organize it in detail, and then report to you." The oil girl Ryoma said again.

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

Danzo nodded and told his subordinates.

Any ninja has weaknesses, and Uchiha is no exception, but he Danzo has not found it for the time being.

Put this matter aside for now.

"The second team was damaged this time, and it's time to replenish the manpower at the root and absorb some fresh blood. Speaking of which, the old man hasn't visited the major ninja clans for a while."

Danzo talked to himself, pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked the oil girl Ryoma, "By the way, are there any good seedlings of the oil girl clan recently?"

"I'll go back and ask."

The oily girl Ryoma lowered her head and replied, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes under the sunglasses.

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

Itachi walked out of the roots, with an incredulous look in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, even the carefully planned assassination by Genbu failed to win 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 method he used to deal with the masked man again, so that the oily girl Ryoma returned without success, right?

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

but.

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

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

clack.

The third generation took a puff of the pipe, spit out a long smoke ring, and then said to Kakashi:

"The Kingdom of the Forest has obviously formed an alliance with our Konoha, and they are flirting with Yanyin Village in private. I have already sent Maitkai to lead a team to the border to exchange information scrolls with the Wisdom of the Kingdom of the Forest, but after thinking about it, it is still a bit Don't worry. You take the sixth squad and secretly follow Kai's team, if the Prajna crowd 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 preoccupied.

Seeing this, Kakashi was a little surprised, and asked lazily: "It's the first time to go out on a mission as Anbu, are you nervous?"

Tianzang also patted Itachi on the shoulder, encouraging:

"Don't worry about your poor performance. Actually, it's nothing. I even assassinated Hokage-sama. That was when I was ten years old..."

Tianzang was still at the root at that time, and he was ordered by Danzang to assassinate the third generation. After being defeated by the Hokage guard Kakashi, he abandoned the dark and turned to the light.

Ferret: 6.

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

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

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

Shisui met Itachi last night and told him solemnly:

This clan meeting may become a flashpoint of conflict between the two factions. I hope Itachi will join him in maintaining peace within the clan.

Also.

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

With his uncle's elusive character, he didn't know what he would do at the clan meeting.

Think of these.

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

Therefore, he cannot be absent from this clan meeting.

What Itachi is worried about now is whether he can make it back in time if this mission takes too long.

……

In the land of fire.

Wearing a cloak and a hat, Duan walked on a forest path.

Surrounding him was a vast primeval forest, with birds and beasts appearing from time to time, and after walking for a long time, he came to a remote town.

The streets are deserted, without smoke and smoke, only a few sparse residential houses and convenience stores.A few crows stopped on the electric poles by the roadside, occasionally making strange calls.

After he was familiar with the road, he 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 hidden the underground gold exchange of the Kingdom of Fire.

crunch.

Push the door open and enter, and walk down the passage for tens of meters to the trading hall of the gold exchange.

Different from the emptiness and solitude on the ground, there is a lot of people here, a large number of bounty ninjas, ronin and samurai are bustling and noisy.

A money exchange is a kind of black market, where untold amounts of black money, intelligence, stolen goods, and…

Dead body.

In the ninja world, dead people are sometimes more valuable than living people, because important information is often hidden in the corpses.

The best proof of this is Senju Hashirama, who is known as the god of ninjas.

His cells are comparable to the meat of Tang Monk, whoever gets it will cheat.

If the original Hokage dies and is cremated, there won't be so many troubles later.

The morgue is the busiest department of the gold exchange.

When Duan came here, several bounty hunters were queuing up with corpses. After being checked and verified by the staff, the corpses were recovered on the spot and the bounty was issued.

The price of corpses ranges from a few hundred thousand taels to tens of millions of taels.

Of course, corpses worth tens of millions of taels are generally shadows, high-level elites, or S-level traitorous ninjas from major ninja villages, and it is not always possible to see one of them throughout the year.

Duan is a high-level bounty hunter, code-named "Araki", and there is no need to line up.
