After the night is quiet.
Youhu left Uchiha District and prepared to go to Root Base to find some key evidence."
It didn't take long for Youhu to arrive outside Root Base.
Root Base is located inside the mountain, which is a secret to ordinary Konoha Ninja, but to Anbu Ninja, this place is just Training Class.
As a member of Anbu, Youhu certainly knows the location of Root Base.
Arriving outside Root Base, before Youhu could think of a way to enter Root Base, he saw two very familiar Masked Man behind him.
Although they have Animal Mask on their faces, their bodies are also disguised with Transformation Technique.
But Youhu was able to determine the identity of the two people through the breath of Chakra. It was none other than Kakashi and Jiraiya.
It seemed that his performance during the day was very effective, and he successfully attracted the attention of Kakashi and Jiraiya. Late at night, he was still secretly observing his movements.
This is also the reason why he chose to come to Root Base to investigate.
If you don't let Jiraiya see some things with your own eyes, it will be difficult to be convincing enough just by yourself.
After thinking about it, Youhu stopped, and then Body Flicker Technique came to Kakashi and Jiraiya, pretending to be shocked and said, "Jiraiya, Captain Kakashi, why are you two here?"
"How did you recognize me?"
Jiraiya asked the question that Kakashi had asked before. He thought that he was very proficient in Transformation Technique. Even Jonin, who was good at investigation, could not see through his disguise.
"Jiraiya Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"The lie is that Jiraiya's temperament is so unique that it is as far away as the sun at night. The truth is - your disguise cannot hide from my Sharingan -"
"Sharingan's insight is really too much--"
Jiraiya complained a little, then returned to his seriousness and said with a serious face, "Go back Youhu, I can't just watch you go astray."
"I know you are worried about Shisui's safety and want to find the whereabouts of Shisui from Danzo, but Root Base is not something you can break into at will. Even if I want to enter Root Base to investigate, I need Old Man's permission."
"If you force your way in, Danzo will have an excuse to deal with you, and maybe he will frame Shisui's disappearance on you."
Kakashi also rarely showed a solemn expression and persuaded, "Jiraiya is right, Root Base can't wander around. Your future is very bright and cannot be ruined because of this incident."
"Jiraiya and I will try our best to find Shisui, so you go back first--"
In Youhu, Kakashi saw the shadow of Obito.
Unlike him who had always been gloomy and depressed, Obito once had a dream of becoming Hokage. Although Obito has now become Masked Man, he always remembers the sunny and cheerful Obito in his heart.
After committing the attack on the village, Obito could not go back.
He worked hard to learn Flying Thunder God Technique just to bring Obito back to atone for his sins and let Obito make up for the mistakes he had made.
But Youhu is different. Youhu is only fifteen years old, and life has just begun.
It must not be ruined by the disappearance of Shisui.
Youhu no longer had the playful smile of the past on his face. After staring at Kakashi and Jiraiya for a few seconds, he said, "Jiraiya, Captain Kakashi, do you really think I came here just to investigate the matter of Shisui?"
"Isn't it?"
Kakashi and Jiraiya are puzzled.
Youhu shook his head slightly, then pointed to the location of Root Base, and said slowly, "After learning the identity of Elder Danzo during the day, I went to investigate the information related to Elder Danzo, and found some things in this information that made me angry."
At this point, Youhu paused deliberately and looked at Kakashi and Jiraiya again.
Kakashi secretly thought that something was wrong. Youhu didn't know that Danzo had assassinated Hokage. This matter was only known to him, Yamato, Hokage and Danzo, and it should not be spread outside.
Jiraiya is worried that Youhu will lose hope in the village after knowing the underlying evil.
After attracting enough attention, Youhu continued, "I found that when Nine-Tails Night was here, Fugaku Clan Head wanted to bring people to support the village, but was killed by Danzo and Root Ninja were blocked in the clan area, so the two key forces, Root Ninja and Security Force, were unable to participate in the rescue of the villagers."
"Fourth Hokage might have chosen to die together with Nine-Tails because he lacked this power.""
"I'm wondering if Danzo did this deliberately."
As soon as these words came out, Kakashi and Jiraiya looked embarrassed.
At Nine-Tails Night, Danzo led Root Ninja to intercept Security Force, which is indeed full of doubts.
At that time, all the High Officials in the village were dispatched to deal with the rampaging Nine-Tails. Only Danzo led people to block Security Force. If it was just targeting Uchiha, it would be normal.
But if it is because of jealousy Fourth Hokage, and deliberately prevents people from coming to support--
Jiraiya and Kakashi no longer want to continue thinking about this matter. They don't want to think so badly about Danzo. Danzo will not let Hokage die fighting bloody battles at the front just for the sake of Hokage Position.
Seeing that Kakashi and Jiraiya believed their own words about Nine-Tails Night, Youhu struck while the iron was hot. "Shortly after Nine-Tails Night, rumors emerged in the village that Guard Division refused to save him and Uchiha manipulated Nine-Tails."
"Although Nine-Tails Night is indeed done by Uchiha Obito, it has nothing to do with the village Uchiha. Danzo should not know the identity of Obito."
"Then why is Danzo spreading these rumors? Is it just to make Ninja exclude Uchiha from the village?"
"That's not all. Captain Kakashi, do you remember that Naruto was called Demon Fox in the village yesterday? Naruto's identity is Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. It's not wrong to say that he is Son of the Demon Fox, but shouldn't the identity of Jinchuriki be kept secret?"
"How come there are rumors like Son of the Demon Fox? Are some people worried that the enemy country Ninja doesn't know the identity of Naruto?"
"Who in the village doesn't want Naruto to continue to be Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"
After hearing Naruto's name, Jiraiya suddenly became alert.
He hasn't spent much time in the village in recent years, so he hasn't heard much about the rumors about Demon Fox, and he doesn't know the impact of these rumors on Naruto.
He felt that although Naruto was an orphan, he should be living a good life under the care of Old Man, at least better than when he was a child in Orphanage.
But what I didn't expect was that Naruto has been troubled by the identity of Son of the Demon Fox.
No wonder the villagers always looked at Naruto with strange colors in their eyes yesterday. Third Teacher probably knew this, so he entrusted himself to take care of Naruto.
After telling the truth about Danzo being passive and sabotaging Nine-Tails Night, and telling Naruto that those rumors about Son of the Demon Fox were spread by Danzo, Youhu did not stop talking; Then he said, "Jiraiya, I remember that you met Orochimaru during the last mission. Orochimaru should be Jiraiya's friend. He used to be Sannin in the village.

"I also checked the information on Orochimaru's defection."
"Orochimaru once served as Danzo's deputy, and also participated in Fourth Hokage's election, but lost to Minato. Since then, Orochimaru has been living in seclusion, buried in the laboratory all day long to conduct Wood Style human experiments."
"In the end, he defected from the village because he used civilians to carry out Wood Style Experiment without authorization and was discovered by Third Lord."
"That's right. Orochimaru defected due to this incident, and then Wood Style Experiment was also stopped by Third Hokage."
Jiraiya nodded. He knew very well the reason why Orochimaru defected from the village. Over the years, he had also tried hard to persuade Orochimaru to return to the village and conduct scientific research under the supervision of Anbu.
Unfortunately, every time he met Orochimaru, he failed to persuade him, which hit him deeply.
Youhu nodded slightly and followed Jiraiya's words and said, "Since Orochimaru defected from Konoha because of Wood Style Experiment, why can Danzo stay out of it? As Root Leader, he really knows nothing about Orochimaru's Wood Style Experiment?"
"I think there is a possibility that the person who really leads Wood Style Experiment is actually Danzo?"
"Danzo has a handle on Orochimaru, so after Wood Style Experiment was discovered by Third Lord, the person who defected was Orochimaru, not Danzo."
"Danzo has not stopped Wood Style Experiment in the follow-up, and has been continuing research."
"You mean, Orochimaru was forced to leave Konoha by Danzo? Orochimaru doesn't want to come back because Danzo has a handle on him."
After hearing that Orochimaru was probably not the leader of Wood Style Project, Jiraiya's eyes lit up.
He knew that Orochimaru was not the kind of person to abandon the village casually. It turned out to be because Danzo had a handle. Then if Danzo no longer held this handle, could Orochimaru come back?
"It's not completely guaranteed, but it's very likely."
"If Danzo is not the leader of Wood Style Project and does not master Wood Bloodline, I really can't imagine why Brother Shisui lost to Danzo."
Youhu acquiesced to Jiraiya's guess and stated his purpose again. "Jiraiya, Captain Kakashi, I told you all my guesses, are you still going to stop me from investigating Root Organization?"
"This investigation of Root Organization, in addition to looking for the whereabouts of Brother Shisui, is also to find evidence that Danzo carried out Wood Style Experiment in private--"
Jiraiya was silent for a long time, and then said, "If you are just investigating Root Organization, I can go in with you, but after entering Root Base, you must listen to me and cannot act without authorization."
Jiraiya originally wanted to stop Youhu from going to the Root Organization base, but after some persuasion, he was persuaded instead.
However, this is something he is willing to fight or endure.
If the evidence of Wood Style Experiment can really be found at the Root Organization base, then he might be able to persuade Old Man to cancel the wanted order for Orochimaru, and Orochimaru can return to Konoha.
At that time, call Tsunade back and let the Sannin team reappear among Ninja World.
"I know the internal situation of Root Organization base and can guide you."
Seeing that Jiraiya agreed to Youhu's plan, Kakashi knew that it was impossible for him to stop these two people, so he might as well go into Root Base's investigation with them.
He had heard Youhu say before that his father's death was inextricably linked to Konoha High Officials.
The mission that led to his father's suicide may have failed because of Danzo's layout. After all, his father had the same qualifications to run for Hokage as Danzo.
