Leaving the Village

Uzumaki Hane walked along the road, he began to carefully consider this part of the plot. The Two-Tails had mysteriously disappeared. In the original work, Kakuzu and Hidan had captured it, but now Kakuzu and Hidan had been killed by him. He wondered which member of Akatsuki had made the move.

In other words, the plot has completely changed. However, even if they team up with Jiraiya, they'll only know for sure if they face Pain after they've fought Pain. Therefore, Uzumaki Hane isn't worried about this mission.

As Uzumaki Hane was thinking, two people suddenly appeared in front of her. It was Kakashi and Yamato, who were running quickly on the rooftop.

Uzumaki Hane thought to himself, "Perfect timing, I've run into them. I'll say goodbye to Kakashi and the others now, and then leave the village to carry out my mission. As for Naruto, I'll ask Kakashi to tell them." With that thought, Uzumaki Hane's body flashed and disappeared from the spot. The next instant, he appeared on the rooftop and chased after Kakashi and the others.

Along the way, ninjas kept rushing in the same direction, and Uzumaki Hane realized that wasn't that the Root headquarters?

Kakashi and Yamato were originally planning to go find Naruto and the others. Kakashi was going to treat them to a meal, since everyone had worked very hard on this mission.

But the sudden explosion surprised them; someone had made a move in the village. The two exchanged a glance and then rushed towards the scene.

Suddenly, someone ran up from behind. It was Uzumaki Hane. Kakashi was a little surprised and said, "Yu, you're here too. Do you know who it is that dared to make a move in the village?" Just as he finished speaking, he saw Uzumaki Hane awkwardly.

Yamato said, "That looks like the headquarters of Root."

Kakashi remembered that Uzumaki Hane seemed to have a major conflict with Danzo, so he tentatively asked, "Yu, you're not going to say that you did this, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Uzumaki Hane scratched the back of her head and said, "It was an accident."

Kakashi and Yamato were speechless. Kakashi said, "Yu, are you still planning to go?"

Uzumaki Hane said, "Just now, Teacher Tsunade sent me out on a mission, and I happened to run into you guys, so I thought I'd let you know."

Kakashi and Yamato exchanged a glance, knowing that Tsunade intended to send Uzumaki Hane out to avoid trouble. After all, this matter could be serious or minor, but since it involved Danzo, Kakashi didn't know if that person would take the opportunity to cause trouble.

Kakashi said, "Yu, go ahead. I'll tell Naruto and the others."

Uzumaki Hane said, "Then I'll trouble you, Kakashi-sensei." After saying that, he flashed away and left.

Naruto and Sakura arrived at the site of the explosion, where many ninjas had already gathered. No one expected that someone would be fighting inside the village.

Just then, a figure landed beside the two of them; it was Sai. Naruto immediately exclaimed happily, "Sai, you're here!"

Sakura said, "I wonder who was so bold as to make a move in the village?"

Sai said, "This is Root's headquarters."

Naruto and Sakura were both surprised to hear this, because they remembered that Uzumaki Hane seemed to have been planning to go find Danzo earlier.

Naruto said, "Could it have been Yu who did it?"

Upon hearing this, Sai looked at Naruto and asked, "Naruto, what's going on?"

Naruto and Sakura said, "When you left just now, Uzumaki Hane said he was going to find Danzo. Didn't you run into him?"

Sai said, "No, after I asked Lord Danzo to let me stay in Team Kakashi, I left and didn't encounter Uzumaki Hane."

At that moment, Kakashi and Yamato arrived as well.

Kakashi said directly, "I ran into Uzumaki Hane on the way here; he's already out on a mission."

Sakura asked, "Kakashi-sensei, is it because of this?"

Naruto asked worriedly, "Yu, is he alright?"

Kakashi said, "It's alright. Tsunade sent Yu out on a mission; she should be able to find a way to suppress Danzo."

In the office, Tsunade sat in her chair. At that moment, Shizune rushed in and said, "Lady Tsunade, they're here." Tsunade, already prepared, wasn't surprised and said, "Shizune, let's go." She led the way out of the office.

Upon arriving at a conference room, Tsunade led Shizune inside. Inside sat a man and a woman, who were none other than Konoha's advisors Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu.

Tsunade naturally knew why they had come to see her, but she feigned ignorance and asked, "What do you want with me? Speak." As she spoke, her eyes remained fixed on the two of them.

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu remained expressionless. Mitokado Homura spoke first, saying, "We learned about this from Danzo."

Tsunade placed one hand on the back of the chair and said, "Oh, what is it?"

Mitokado Homura said, "It refers to the attack on Danzo in the village."

Utatane Koharu Tsurugi said aggressively, "This is too much! To attack in public in the village like this deserves a harsher punishment."

Then, Utatane Koharu called out towards the door, "Danzo, come in."

Danzo strolled in through the doorway and said to Tsunade, "Princess Tsunade, we meet again."

Tsunade crossed her right leg and said, "Oh, when was Danzo attacked? How come I didn't know?"

Danzo said in a deep voice, "Just now, your disciple, Uzumaki Hane, broke into my house and attacked me."

Utatane Koharu, said, "Didn't you notice such a fierce battle just now?"

Tsunade said, "Uzumaki Hane has already been sent out on a mission."

Utatane Koharu, shouted, "Are you planning to protect your disciple?"

Tsunade stared directly at Utatane Koharu and said in a deep voice, "The Two-Tails Jinchūriki has gone missing; he's suspected of being captured by the Akatsuki."

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu paused upon hearing this, exchanged a glance, their expressions turning serious, and said in a deep voice, "Is the information accurate?" That was Jinchūriki, and the two dared not underestimate him.

Tsunade toned down her aggressive demeanor and said in a deep voice, "That's right, Jiraiya has already gone, but I'm still a little worried, so I sent Uzumaki Hane to assist Jiraiya." Tsunade hadn't expected that the Akatsuki, having just invaded Sunagakure and captured the One-Tail Shukaku, would now strike again, capturing the Matatabi. If they weren't kept a close eye on things, they might one day appear in the village and steal the Nine-Tails. After all, the Akatsuki had previously invaded Konoha, intending to capture Naruto.

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu also felt that the matter was serious, so they no longer insisted on punishing Uzumaki Hane.

Danzo stood by the window without saying a word, as if he were an outsider, and that everything was none of his concern. Only after Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu left did Tsunade turn to Danzo and say, "Danzo, let's leave the matter of Uzumaki Hane behind. As for Sai, let him remain in Team Kakashi."

Danzo said, "No problem."

Tsunade took out a document, tossed it to the other person, and said, "Here, take this back."

Danzo took the document, turned, and left the meeting room.
