Half an hour later.
"It has already been confirmed that the ways of death are mostly consistent, it should be the work of one person."
"Elder Danzo's remains, have already been taken over by ANBU, and the news is being blocked."
"The culprit…"
While saying this, the eyes of this ANBU also flickered slightly.
"It cannot be ruled out that it was former ANBU member, Haruko Uchiha."
"The fatal wounds of the deceased, are almost identical to Haruko Uchiha's killing methods when she carried out missions."
"But it cannot be ruled out… that someone is imitating Haruko Uchiha's methods."
The last supplement, was a bit redundant.
It could also be considered this ANBU's own opinion.
The fact was very obvious.
The direction that Root had set out from, was indeed where Haruko Uchiha was located.
And that girl… that former ANBU medical ninja, who had been quietly staying in the corner of Konoha.
After this incident occurred, had disappeared without a trace…
There was indeed the possibility of being framed.
But compared to framing, the possibility that the girl had done all this, was indeed greater.
And more realistic.
Even if, it made people feel unbelievable.
"Haruko Uchiha, still hasn't been found?"
He spat out another mouthful of smoke.
After a burst of cloud-swallowing and mist-spewing, Sarutobi Hiruzen, the entire Hokage office was already shrouded in smoke.
"Not yet, ANBU and the Jōnin squad are working hard."
This ANBU quickly replied.
Konoha, right inside Konoha, a Konoha Elder had died silently.
This matter, was enough to put Konoha on the highest alert status.
The most important thing at hand, was to find Haruko Uchiha.
And also to block the news as much as possible.
After this ANBU finished reporting, he quickly disappeared.
In the huge office.
Only Sarutobi Hiruzen was left, as well as that room full of smoke.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, just smoked silently like this.
Mouthful after mouthful.
That old figure, that elderly posture, showed exhaustion…
"Danzo…"
It seemed to be a murmur.
And it also seemed to be a sigh.
Having lived to this age, some things, he had already taken lightly.
This day would come sooner or later, and he had already prepared himself.
All he could do.
Was just smoking and sighing like this.
That was all.
After all.
The dead cannot return…
Whoosh!
A figure appeared.
Wearing a mask, with a ponytail, and his eyes were full of solemnity.
"Hokage-sama."
Itachi said respectfully.
"Hmm, you've come, Itachi."
Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Itachi, and his face barely regained a bit of vigor, but he was still somewhat powerless…
He wanted to maintain the dignity of a Hokage.
Although, he hadn't done so for a long time.
"Little Haruko has disappeared, does your father know about this?"
Itachi's eyes immediately condensed!
On the other side.
Qingchuan had already swaggered out of Konoha, and headed straight for Amegakure.
Yes, he just walked out.
Binding Art #26: Bend Light.
Spiritual power was compressed, becoming a transparent canvas, Qingchuan was now, in a completely invisible state…
This was a very practical move.
It was originally prepared for bathing and peeing:
However, Qingchuan, whose perception was always very reliable, had rarely used it.
Using it here, was just right.
It just couldn't isolate the Konoha barrier's probing.
However. With his Shunpo, and spiritual power reserves.
He could rush to Amegakure at full speed, and wasn't afraid of being caught up.
Swaggering down the street.
Qingchuan now, felt somewhat complicated in his heart.
He was about to go to Akatsuki…
He was a bit excited, and also a bit reluctant.
Even if he didn't want to, after staying in a place for a long time, he would develop feelings.
This was a common problem for humans.
Even if he had the power of a Shinigami, he couldn't avoid it.
After leaving Konoha, Qingchuan advanced quickly.
But he didn't mean to advance at full speed.
The system mission was about to be settled, and he had to find a place, and prepare himself.
It wasn't that he was worried about not being able to get into Akatsuki. With Brother Tobi's guarantee as a stepping stone, plus him killing Danzo.
Even if he didn't go, Akatsuki, would actively come to him.
With his current strength.
He estimated… that even the probation period wouldn't be too long.
Debuting at his peak, wasn't a big problem.
Then there was the system's mission.
According to the system's explanation, what he had to collect, wasn't that huge chakra.
Rather than collecting the Tailed Beasts.
It was better to say, that he was collecting the will of the Tailed Beasts.
Find a Tailed Beast, extract it, and then slash it with Senbonzakura a few times, and the mission would be completed.
083 simple and crude.
What Kaguya needed for her revival, was the Ten-Tails to appear in the world, and to have a suitable vessel.
What Nagato needed for collecting the Tailed Beasts, was just to work for the Infinite Tsukuyomi…
And all he wanted.
Was just one powerful soul after another.
They didn't conflict.
It was just mutual benefit… Infinite Tsukuyomi could do whatever it wanted, anyway, Naruto and Sasuke were carrying it, and he didn't need to argue with the Sage of Six Paths.
Just go with the flow.
For now.
If the sky fell, Brother Tobi should still be able to hold it up.
He had already released so much goodwill.
It would be a pity not to use him as a shield.
To be honest.
Obito's performance, was beyond Qingchuan's expectations.
He had thought it would be a never-ending battle… but he didn't expect it would come to this.
Brother Tobi's vision is truly grand.
The clown was me all along.
He raised his eyebrows.
Qingchuan randomly chose a small cave, and sat down cross-legged.
The system's rewards, had also been settled.
The rewards for completing the first main quest ah.
Qingchuan in his heart, was really a little excited!.
