The next day, it was time for fish soup again, as it was every ten days. After finishing his work, Shisui, disguised as Yamano Ichiro, hurried to the Vegetable Market to buy a live fish.
When he got home, Shisui slit open the fish's belly and retrieved a tiny piece of parchment.
It contained Danzo's latest instructions.
Shisui opened it and his pupils contracted.
"Extract Chakra from as many ordinary people as possible. On the first day of school, go to the Ninja Academy's No. 1 School Building and blow yourself up!"
Extracting Chakra from ordinary people was probably meant to stir up public outrage.
But why blow himself up at a Ninja Academy School Building?
Advisor Danzo intended to...
Shisui's heart sank. He quickly crumpled the parchment and tossed it into the trash can, then took out the garbage bag to dispose of it.
At the garbage disposal area, a middle-aged woman was teaching people how to sort their garbage. She enthusiastically opened the bags of every villager who came to throw theirs away, sorting the contents as she lectured them. She prattled on so long that no one could get away for half an hour!
When Shisui arrived, he dropped off his garbage bag and turned to leave. The woman frowned as she opened it, sorting the fish innards and other trash while discreetly hiding the tiny piece of parchment. At the same time, she used Shisui as a bad example, muttering a harsh reprimand as if to herself.
And garbage sorting like this was happening all over Konoha Village. So even Danzo hadn't noticed the sinister purpose behind it!
That night, after the contents of all the tiny scraps of parchment had been compiled, the information landed in Namikaze Minato's hands.
Hokage Building.
Anbu Headquarters Building.
