Shikaru Nara simply dismissed Orochimaru and told him that there was something for him to take care of, and then he pulled Uchiha Jie to the rooftop of the building.
Without the obstruction of glass, the whole picture of Konoha is clearer.
"It's a little different from last time." Shikaru Nara said softly.
"There are two more buildings over there, and a new villa area is built further away."
"It's different over there, the color of that building is wrong, and there's an extra area of forest over there."
"Okay, okay, this is Genjutsu. How can I keep it the same every time? The areas further away are full of textures, and the areas further away are completely blank." Uchiha Jie smiled softly and patted Shikaru Nara on the shoulder.
"Even if you work hard for decades, you may not be able to see such a scene." He continued.
Shikaru Nara took a deep breath, pressed hard on Uchiha Jie's waist with his palms, looked at his smiling face, didn't exert any force, and just sighed softly.
"Do you think I can see it?" she asked softly.
"Maybe, maybe when you are as old as Utatane Koharu Elder, you can see it." Uchiha Jie shrugged and replied:
"Maybe at that time you would be like Third Hokage now, with white hair, a hunched waist, and a Hokage hat."
"But that's not necessarily true. I heard that Princess Tsunade is already very old, but when I saw her last time, she didn't have any wrinkles on her face."
"But you know." He turned his head, looked at Shikaru Nara's better face, and said softly:
"When Third Hokage was your age, Konoha was almost what it is now. After so many years, Konoha is still the same. If you want to make it look like this, it's not something you can do easily."
"But you are much better than that loser Hiruzen Sarutobi."
"I really like what you said." Shikaru Nara also laughed, and she finally moved her eyes from Konoha in Genjutsu to Uchiha Jie's face.
"Okay, enough seeing, let's go back."
She reached out and grabbed Uchiha Jie's arm. The next moment, they were back to Konoha in the dark night. Security Force was dimly lit, and Sasuke next door was already snoring.
"Aren't you going to say goodbye to them?"
Looking at Uchiha Jie who put on Uchiha Itachi mask again, Shikaru Nara asked softly, "If you come back this time and only come to see me, they will be jealous."
"It's too late, we'll have to wait until next time."
Uchiha Jie opened the curtains and looked at Konoha in the night. The fireworks belonging to Root rose again. It seemed that they had discovered that their base had been looted again.
"Danzo-sama!"
Root's ninja knocked on Hokage Office's door, but there were only Hokage and three Elder inside. Even Anbu and even Hokage's guards were not qualified to listen to their conversation.
"What's the fuss about? I'm discussing something important with Lord Hokage!"
The voice of Danzo came from the door. In fact, the four of them were not talking about important matters. The old teammates had not touched each other for decades, but in order to see the small words on the scroll clearly at the same time, they seemed to have returned to the time when they were still students.
After reading the scroll, they rarely divided into two camps. Utatane Koharu actually stood with Danzo, believing that Uchiha Itachi was indeed schizophrenic. Sometimes he was a spy loyal to Konoha, and sometimes he turned into a crazy Uchiha.
But Third Hokage still believes in his own judgment, and Mitokado Homura also maintains the same view as him. Uchiha Itachi is not schizophrenic. There is really a person with Mangekyō Sharingan who is causing trouble all over the world.
But they still have differences. Mitokado Homura thinks that person is related to the masked Akatsuki member, while Third Hokage still thinks that Danzo is directing and acting on his own, and even this scroll may be a forgery.
"But sir, the base..." Root at the door said in a rapid voice, obviously very anxious.
Danzo finally pushed open the door and walked out with a frown and a cold face. He did not ask for an explanation from Third Hokage.
"Tell me, what's the matter..." He looked at the Root ninja who came to look for him. He was his old subordinate, and he was fighting against the Uchiha Itachi ninja tonight with him. He had never seen such an anxious expression on his face.
Aburame Torune did not tell the story. He made a few gestures, and Danzo understood the meaning. What happened was not suitable for Third Hokage and the other two Elder to know.
"Our base for human experimentation has been invaded..." On the way back to Root Base, with no one else around, Aburame Torune finally told the truth.
"That base?" Danzo frowned and followed his subordinates. The direction they were traveling in made him feel bad in his heart.
"That's the base..." Aburame Torune nodded, confirming his boss' inner worries.
Danzo stopped talking and silently increased his speed, even attaching chakra to his legs. Not long after, he saw the invaded base.
This place is very secretive, and the level of confidentiality is the highest among his many bases. The average Root member can't even enter the gate. The researchers inside stay in the base regardless of food and accommodation, and rarely have any communication with the outside world on weekdays.
And this is a base that even Third Hokage doesn't know, which means that in Konoha, except for a few of Root's own people, no one else knows where this base is.
Unless...
His base is of course well-hidden, but for a certain family, it is as if it is undefended. Byakugan, who has the ability to see through, is extremely convenient to find the various secrets hidden in Konoha.
Even if he depicts Sealing Technique who can hinder Byakugan, in that case, what is hidden with Sealing Technique will be much more conspicuous to Byakugan's eyes.
But in the past, Hyuga Clan would never do such a thing, nor take the initiative to pry into various secrets of the village. Sometimes even if he accidentally saw it, he would keep it to himself and never say anything.
Danzo naturally knew what they were thinking, and together with Caged Bird, he also had a tacit understanding not to do anything to the Hyuga Clan. He had never conducted any human experiment on anyone from the Hyuga Clan.
But no one knows how the base that only I, Danzo, knows about, was invaded. What's more, this is the second base to be invaded today. He doesn't believe that there is a traitor in Tongue Root Encumbering Curse Seal's team that he has already invested.
Then it can only be Byakugan who discovered this base.
Byakugan, hum, it's Hiruzen. Tell me, the so-called mysterious man went to Kirigakure to retrieve Qing's Byakugan, and Hyuga Clan is still having trouble with your family.
