Naruto: The Brightest Star

Chapter 173 Respective actions

"Tsunade, what's going on with Uchiha Sasuke?"

Shimura Danzo held a cane in his hand and tapped the ground.

"Didn't I tell you that he was the undercover agent I sent out?"

Tsunade said, suppressing her anger.

"You said he was an undercover agent. Who did you send him to? Did he get any useful information? And what about that guy from the Hidden Rain Village?"

Danzo Shimura didn't believe Tsunade's words.

"The place I sent Sasuke to was Orochimaru's place. As for the news, you really don't have anything to tell me. Um - Danzo."

Tsunade looked at Danzo Shimura with sharp eyes.

Shimura Danzo's eyes flickered slightly, and then he said, "What can I explain? I have done my best for Konoha, and I have never done anything to hurt Konoha."

"Yeah."

Tsunade sneered.

"I hope you'll keep your word. If I find out anything, I'll kill you with my own hands. And I'll make your crimes public."

Listening to Tsunade's words, Danzo Shimura subconsciously tightened the cane in his hand.

"Hmph! Let's change the subject. Shouldn't we discuss my business? What's going on with that girl from the Uzumaki clan? As far as I know, she is the disciple of the leader of the Hidden Rain Village. You must give me an explanation for this matter."

Shimura Danzo changed the subject, not wanting Tsunade to shift the topic to him. Of course, in addition to this, Shimura Danzo had his own little thoughts.

A long time ago, he had cooperated with the former leader of the Rain Country, Hanzo of the Salamander. Since that incident, Danzo Shimura had thought about cooperating with Hanzo of the Salamander again, but the leader of the Rain Country was replaced by a child.

He thought the other party was a puppet leader and Shimura Danzo didn't care about it at all. But gradually he found that the other party was a fox who rejected him many times.

I originally wanted to do something to eliminate the other party's shopping mall in Konoha so that I could take control of it myself.

But every time he took action, the other party would do something behind his back. Shimura Danzo had no choice but to give up his elimination plan and watch with hatred as the other party made a fortune on his territory.

"We have a good relationship with the Hidden Rain Village and we are allies. What's wrong with her wanting her disciples to stay in Konoha for a while? If there is nothing else, please go back. I am very busy now."

Tsunade said as she began to deal with Konoha's current affairs.

"Humph! If you trust a person from another village so much, sooner or later you will destroy Konoha!"

After saying something harsh, Danzo Shimura left the tent where Tsunade was.

Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Danzo Shimura leave.

I don't know whether I should believe what Yuzhixing said, but judging from Danzo's reaction just now, the information she gave seems to be true.

Yuzhixing, you really gave me a difficult problem.

Tsunade raised her hand and rubbed her forehead.

On the other side, Danzo Shimura's sights fell on Karin.

She is a member of the Uzumaki clan and has a special physique. She is also a disciple of Yuori Xing. Perhaps she can be of use.

Either threatening her to cooperate or throwing the Uzumaki girl to the Root to torture her for information would be a good option.

Not only that, Uchiha Sasuke is also problematic, who knows if he will attack Konoha. What if Uchiha Itachi said something to him before his death, he must be eliminated.

Danzo Shimura thought so and began to plan when to capture this Konoha spy.

As the saying goes, we are not afraid of bad things coming, we are just afraid of bad things coming in droves.

Just after Tsunade had dealt with most of Konoha's affairs, the Intelligence Department came to Tsunade's temporary work tent with news of the Five Kage Summit.

"what!!!"

Tsunade was extremely annoyed.

"Who initiated the Five Kage Summit?"

Tsunade rubbed her brows as she looked at the information sent by the Intelligence Department.

"Huh? The Raikage issued a summons. That reckless guy actually announced the Five Kage Talks. I really don't want to go."

Having said that, Tsunade still made preparations.

"Let me think about who would be more suitable to accompany me."

Tsunade thought about it and for safety reasons, she chose Kakashi and Shizune, and found Nara Shikaku to help her manage the Konoha Village while she was away.

In order to prevent Uzumaki Naruto from being idle and doing nothing, Tsunade gave Yamato, Uzumaki Naruto, and Sai the task of helping the Sand Village capture the rebellious ninja.

Sakura Haruno stayed in Konoha to treat other injured people.

After dealing with these things, Tsunade left.

At the same time, the shadows of various ninja villages began to move towards the Land of Iron.

The day after Tsunade left, Danzo Shimura couldn't help but take action.

On this day, Karin, who was helping to treat the injured in Konoha, was suddenly called away.

"You mean, a man in his seventies accidentally fell into a rubble pit!"

Karin covered her mouth with one hand and hugged Andily with the other, expressing her surprise and sympathy.

"That's really pitiful. I'll go with you."

Karin said this with great sympathy.

"Thank you so much."

The other party said this with a smile, and then began to lead Karin.

"and many more!"

At this time, Haruno Sakura walked out of the tent, her eyes swept from Karin to the young man opposite.

"I'll go with you."

I don't know why, but I always feel that this person is a little weird. Besides, Sasuke is going on a mission now, and before he left, he asked me to take good care of Karin.

Since you feel that something is wrong with the other party, you can't let Karin take risks.

"Don't worry, Sakura, I'll be fine. And there are so many injured here, if you leave with me, what will happen to them? Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

Karin said as she left the medical area with Andy and the man with the perfect smile.

"Fragrant phosphorus!"

Seeing Karin following the strange man, Haruno Sakura became anxious and was about to chase after her but was stopped by someone.

"Hey there, come over here and help!"

Hearing someone shouting, Haruno Sakura subconsciously turned around, but didn't see anyone. When Haruno Sakura turned her head, she found that Karin was gone.

"Karin? Karin!!!"

Haruno Sakura was anxiously looking for Karin.

There really is something wrong with that person! No, I have to find Karin quickly and not let her get cheated.

Thinking this, Haruno Sakura hurriedly looked for Karin.

On the other side, Karin looked at the increasingly desolate place and fell silent for a moment.

Although I know that the other party is trying to lure me and hurt me while the Hokage is away.

But...can you please not treat me like a fool? How can an old man with limited mobility live in this place? I am so stupid that I pretend to be innocent and run here with you.

Karin silently raised her middle finger at the other person in her heart.

Speaking of which, at that time, the Hokage had agreed on a "confession" with Sasuke and me. No matter who asked, we had to insist that Sasuke went to Orochimaru as an undercover agent and that he came here for "study".

He also told me to be careful of a man named Danzo Shimura.

Karin's gaze fell on the person leading the way in front.

So the person who asked me to come here this time was most likely the man named Danzo Shimura.

I will make the guy who harmed Sasuke and forced him to become an enemy of his brother pay the price!

Karin couldn't help but hug Andili tighter.

For a long time, Karin watched a huge rock slowly move away. Looking at the passage leading to the underground, Karin remained silent.

No, you guys don't even pretend...

Karin turned around and started walking back.

Although the teacher has taught us that high-end hunters often appear as prey, anyone who is not a fool can see the problem at this time.

If you don't run away at this time, the other party will definitely become suspicious.

Thinking of this, Karin was about to run when a group of masked people surrounded her.

Karin was silent for a moment and raised her hands in surrender.

Andili lay on Karin's shoulder and looked at the people around him vigilantly.

"Didn't you say you were going to help the old man? What are you doing now?!"

Karin looked at the Root people in front of her.

However, no one spoke. Several people came forward, tied up Karin, and took her away.

Karin, who was trapped like a dumpling, was carried by a masked man and walked towards the tunnel.

On the other side, Haruno Sakura finds Inuzuka Kiba and asks him to take her to find Karin.

"Tooth, have you found it?"

Haruno Sakura asked Inuzuka Kiba anxiously.

Inuzuka Kiba wrinkled his nose and carefully sniffed the scent of Karin in the air.

"it's here!"

Inuzuka Kiba said this, and started to rush towards the direction where Karin and the others left with him.

After a long time, Haruno Sakura and Inuzuka Kiba arrived at the place where Karin was captured.

"Strange, the smell is clearly here."

Inuzuka Kiba smelled the scent of Karin in the air strangely.

“But there is no road here!”

Haruno Sakura looked around, hoping to find something she hadn't noticed.

"Wang Wang!"

Akamaru seemed to smell something strange and stretched out his claws to dig the ground.

"Hey! Akamaru, what did you find?"

Inuzuka Kiba asked Akamaru.

"Wang Wang!"

"Hmm! Are you saying Karin is behind the rock?"

Following Akamaru's words, Inuzuka Kiba moved closer to the boulder and sniffed it carefully.

"Really? Could there be a secret passage behind this stone?"

Inuzuka Kiba stroked his chin and thought.

"Whether it's there or not, just open it and you'll know. Ya, get out of the way!"

Haruno Sakura said as she clenched her fists and began to gather strength.

"what!"

Inuzuka Kiba quickly moved aside and gave the boulder in front to Haruno Sakura.

“Ah! Ha!”

Haruno Sakura punched the boulder.

In an instant, the boulder was smashed by Haruno Sakura, and the tunnel behind the boulder was revealed to Haruno Sakura and Inuzuka Kiba.

"It seems that Karin was brought here by them."

Haruno Sakura looked at the tunnel below warily.

"Well, not only that, the other party seems to have more than one person, but what I can't understand is why there are no signs of fighting around. Could it be that the other party used a very special method to take Karin away?"

Inuzuka Kiba asked somewhat confusedly.

"No matter what, Karin is our partner, and we will never allow others to hurt our partner."

Haruno Sakura said as she ran towards the tunnel.

"Hey! Sakura, wait for me!"

Inuzuka Kiba said as he caught up with Haruno Sakura inside.

On the other side, Uchiha Sasuke was on an escort mission with two other strangers. The target of their escort was a one-eyed old man with a cane.

This place should be fine.

As Danzo Shimura held his cane and tapped the ground, the people on both sides of Uchiha Sasuke attacked him at the same time.

Almost in an instant, Uchiha Sasuke drew out his sword to block the short sword attacking from the right, and kicked the little yellow-haired guy on the left away.

"What are you going to do, Danzo?"

Uchiha Sasuke's gaze fell on Shimura Danzo, who had long since left the battle circle and began to unseal his right arm.

"We are just dealing with a traitor of Konoha."

Shimura Danzo said casually.

"traitor?"

Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but frown.

He was very dissatisfied with the way Shimura Danzo addressed him.

"Of course, anyone who betrays Konoha will be a traitor, including your brother, Uchiha Itachi."

Shimura Danzo's words completely hit Uchiha Sasuke's minefield.

"For you to give up everyone for Konoha is a traitor, then what are you."

Uchiha Sasuke said this and exerted force with his hands, knocking the little black-haired boy away.

"Me? I am just silently guarding the roots of Konoha. I will clean up all those who are not good for Konoha."

Danzo Shimura answered Uchiha Sasuke's question.

"Ha! If the root of Konoha's great tree is someone like you, I will personally cut down this tree that is dying from the roots."

Uchiha Sasuke swung the knife in his hand, and the next second, countless blades scattered and attacked Shimura Danzo.

"Lord Danzo!"

The little black-haired boy used a flash technique to appear in front of Shimura Dan's hiding place, then drew out his short sword and began to block the blade with lightning.

On the other side, the little yellow-haired boy put his fingertips together.

"The heart turns..."

Uchiha Sasuke vaguely sensed something and dodged with a flash.

"You guys are annoying."

Uchiha Sasuke instantly appeared behind the little yellow-haired boy and cut off his head with one knife.

"wind!"

Little Black Hair shouted excitedly.

"Oh? It looks like you care about him a lot."

Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but increase the amount of chakra used to deal with the sword on his opponent.

The blade was flying faster and faster, so Little Black Hair had to be more careful to block the flying blade.

"You go down too."

At some point, Uchiha Sasuke came in front of the little black-haired guy and sent him to death with a Storm Kick filled with lightning chakra.

That attack form!

Danzo Shimura narrowed his eyes slightly, and couldn't help but think of the moves used by the boy who was good at corpse bone veins three years ago.

"Humph! I knew you were a traitor, a bastard from the Hidden Rain Village. What is your purpose in coming back to Konoha? Could it be that you want to steal Konoha's secrets?"

Danzo Shimura looked at Uchiha Sasuke with murderous eyes.

At the same time, the seal on Shimura Danzo's arm had been removed, and he looked at the rotating Sharingan on Shimura Danzo's unbandaged arm.

The murderous intent in Uchiha Sasuke surged.

"That's where you got the Sharingan from."

Uchiha Sasuke looked at Shimura Danzo gloomily.

"Ah~ You were also involved in the incident ten years ago. In order to take away our clan's Sharingan, you decided to let Itachi kill the Uchiha clan members, right? You are a rat who stole other people's secret techniques."

Uchiha Sasuke walked towards Shimura Danzo step by step.
