Several days later.
Konoha.
Root headquarters.
Inside Danzo's office.
A Root Ninja knelt on one knee and said, "My lord, the information has been confirmed. Two days ago, Uchiha Qian and Uchiha Shisui arrived at the front-line camp. The Weeping Rain Squad's mission failed."
As he spoke, he handed a mission report to Danzo.
Danzo took the report, swept a quick glance over it, then threw it to the floor and cursed, "Trash! What a pack of trash!"
To ensure this mission went smoothly, he had even activated a long-dormant spy.
He had even started laying the groundwork half a month in advance, leaking intelligence on several support squads in the village to Iwagakure in exchange for their trust.
He had never expected that at the crucial moment, his own subordinates would drop the ball.
"And those Rock Ninja, they're trash too. They couldn't even seize such a perfect opportunity. Utter trash!"
The more Danzo thought about it, the angrier he became, until finally he slammed a fist hard onto the desk.
Bang~
A tremendous sound came from up ahead.
The Root Ninja still maintained his half-kneeling posture, without the slightest reaction.
Only after Danzo regained his calm did he say, "My lord, should we continue sending people to assassinate them?"
Hearing this, Danzo pondered for a long time before finally saying, "Forget it. Leave them alone for now. Recently, Kumogakure has been gathering troops and seems to be planning something big. Your top priority now is to keep a close eye on them."
"Yes, my lord!"
The Root Ninja below replied.
Qian did not know that, without realizing it, he had avoided a crisis.
And by the time Danzo set his sights on him again, he would no longer be the Chunin who could be dealt with by casually
