Chapter 268 Two Spies
Kabuto Yakushi saw Danzo's performance and felt a little dissatisfied in his heart.

Danzo is the leader of Konoha's high-ranking officials and the Root organization. He can send out several ninja teams with a wave of his hand and cause a senior ninja to die in an unknown accident.

But after hearing Byakuya's name, Danzo no longer had the calmness of the leader of the Root organization.

There was obvious tension and uneasiness on his face, which made Kabuto Yakushi curious about what Lord Byakuya had done to Danzo that made Danzo feel uneasy when he heard Lord Byakuya's name.

At this time, Danzo also found that his reaction was a little too intense. No matter how much he was afraid of Bai Ye, he could not show a nervous expression in front of his subordinates.

Besides, it is hard to say whether the ninja who attacked the Iwagakure Village was Bai Ye.

The group of insidious and cunning muscular men in the Hidden Cloud Village are also good at kidnapping, framing and other strategies. Maybe they have set their eyes on a certain bloodline limit in the Hidden Cloud Village and launched a special operation.

Apart from anything else, Troy, the Jounin of Kumogakure, was snatched away by Kumogakure when he was a child.

After several years of training, Troy successfully became the Magnet Style Bloodline Ninja of Kumogakure, but was ultimately defeated by the Fourth Kazekage and became a stepping stone on the Fourth Kazekage's road to fame.

Clearing his mind of distracting thoughts, Danzo looked at Kabuto Yakushi again and fell into deep thought.

Kabuto Yakushi is a child that he values ​​in the orphanage. He has a very high task completion rate at a young age and has achieved excellent results during his training.

If he continues to be cultivated at the root level, he might become an elite jonin in the future.

There are not many elite jonin-level ninjas in the entire Konoha, only a few dozen. Besides him, there are only two or three other people in the Root.

However, Yakushi Kabuto's mission this time was not successful. Yakushi Kabuto, who did not kill his relatives to prove his loyalty, would still be at risk of betrayal in the future.

If you just find a task to handle now, you can avoid unnecessary risks.

After thinking for a long time, Danzo gave up the idea of ​​dealing with Kabuto Yakushi. After Tenzo, whom he had trained with great effort a few months ago, was taken away by Sarutobi Hiruzen, he no longer had many outstanding ninjas under his command.

Even if Kabuto Yakushi's loyalty is not absolute, he has not betrayed his own strength.

After all, a ninja has to speak with strength. After transplanting some of Hashirama's cells, his body functions have stopped declining, and his strength is probably not much inferior to the three young ninjas.

Thinking of this, Danzo said, "Kabuto, since you brought back important information, I will not pursue the punishment for the failure of this mission. However, the death penalty can be spared, but the living punishment cannot be escaped."

"After you finish writing the mission report, you will report to the Ninja School."

"Report to the Ninja School?" Yakushi Kabuto was stunned. He didn't understand what Danzo was thinking, so he quickly said, "Danzo-sama, am I too young to work at the Ninja School at my age?"

Danzo stared at Kabuto Yakushi and explained, "I'm not asking you to be a teacher at the ninja school. I'm going to let you become a senior graduate of the ninja school. After you graduate from the ninja school, I'll assign you a new task."

"During this time, you have to check for me if there are any good talents in the ninja school and report to me."

Kabuto Yakushi nodded and accepted the task assigned by Danzo. He understood that Danzo had lost trust in him and wanted to use this method to keep himself away from the Root.

However, this is not bad news for him.

After temporarily leaving the Root, he finally had time to study ninjutsu. He wanted to master all of them, whether it was medical ninjutsu or other ninjutsu used in combat.

Once he has enough strength, he will be able to become Lord Bai Ye's right-hand man.

When leaving the dark and damp Root and heading towards the sunny streets of Konoha, Kabuto Yakushi met a Root ninja who was younger than him.

After the two looked at each other, they quickly passed each other and went to different places. Even though the other party was wearing a mask, Kabuto Yakushi was still able to keenly guess the other party's identity. The other party was none other than the only Uchiha ninja in the Root, Uchiha Itachi.

It's not like there aren't ninjas younger than him in the Root.

But those ninjas who have not yet grown up do not have the aura of Uchiha Itachi at all, and their strength and means are far inferior to that of this Uchiha genius.

He looked back at Uchiha Itachi and saw him walk into the Root gate.

Kabuto Yakushi suddenly had a hunch that Uchiha was more suitable to stay in the Root than him, and was also more suitable for the profession of spy.

But what does all this have to do with him?

After sighing softly, Yakushi Kabuto quickened his pace and disappeared into the forest.

……

As if noticing Kabuto Yakushi's gaze, Itachi turned back suddenly.

After seeing the shaking leaves and confirming that no one was spying on him from behind, Itachi walked towards the depths of the root base with a nervous mood.

In order to join the Root and become a member of the Anbu.

He received an extremely difficult mission from Danzo, to hunt down a Jonin who betrayed the village. This Jonin was a member of the Ninja clan, and his attainments in physical skills had reached the level of an elite Jonin.

If he had not deliberately sought Shisui's help this time, he would probably have died in the process of hunting down the rebellious ninja.

However, as long as I can join the roots, it's all worth it.

Although there is Brother Shisui as a bridge of communication between the family and the village, if you want the family and the village to understand each other, one bridge of communication is far from enough, and there must be more channels of communication.

After all, the high-ranking officials in the village who oppose the Uchiha are not just the Hokage, but also the leader of the Root organization, Danzo Shimura.

The only way is to get close to Danzo and convince him with your own actions.

Only then can Danzo understand Uchiha and ease the conflict between the family and the village. This is also his dream, to make the family and the village understand each other and move towards peace.

Then the next step is to make the ninja villages understand each other and ultimately achieve world peace.

Itachi knew that his dreams were a little unrealistic, but he always had to give it a try. He saw further than those stupid and arrogant jonin, so naturally he had to shoulder more responsibilities.

Cross the cross patio and walk to the end of the corridor.

Uchiha Itachi saw the flickering candlelight in the dim room, and also saw Shimura Danzo's soul-captivating eyes.

After taking a deep breath, Uchiha Itachi knocked on the door.

At this time, a leisurely voice came from the room: "Itachi, you are finally here, how is the completion this time?"

Uchiha Itachi walked into the room, knelt on one knee and said, "Danzo-sama, thank you for fulfilling your mission. I have completed the mission and dealt with the rebellious ninja."

Danzo glanced at Uchiha Itachi and said calmly:
"Oh? Really? Tell me the whole process of the mission."
