Yanbai stayed at Junlin's home until midnight.
Only after Junlin fell asleep did Yanbai use Flying Thunder God to leave his home.
After hearing what Junlin had to say, Yanbai did not take back the dagger he cared little about.
If Junlin wanted to study it, he could go right ahead.
If Junlin discovered something that benefited Yanbai, that would be a pleasant surprise; even if his research yielded nothing, it would not matter.
As for Junlin secretly communicating with Black Zetsu and even funding him, those two could do whatever they pleased. Yanbai did not care anymore.
Yanbai used the Flying Thunder God Technique to sneak over to Uchiha Fugaku's home. This time, instead of appearing directly on the roof, he watched from a distance.
Several graduates from the Uchiha Clan were staring intently at Uchiha Itachi's room with red eyes, looking like a bunch of creeps.
Yanbai decided not to go over.
He also wanted to see how long Uchiha Itachi could hold out.
With that thought, Yanbai left using Flying Thunder God.
But he still did not return to the Hokage Office.
Sasori had been acting strangely lately. Yanbai was keeping track of the time, planning to send him back to Sunagakure once the twelve months were up.
He wandered the empty streets of Konoha for a while.
Then Yanbai used the Flying Thunder God Technique to appear on the roof of Shimura Danzō's home.
It was the dead of night outside, but the study was brightly lit.
Shimura Danzō had remained single all these years. With his house still so brightly lit this late, was he working overtime?
With that question in mind, Yanbai crept over to Shimura Danzō's window.
"I thought he was working late into the night. Turns out it's an old folks' gathering."
