Kakashi and Taichi did not ask about the meeting with Konan. They had always known Uchiha Yan had plans of his own and would not harm Konoha.
If they caused his plans to fail, that would be a grave fault. People were still talking about Shisui even now.
After days of travel, they finally reached Sunagakure. The moment they stepped inside, they froze.
