Naruto: Traveled through time and space to become Danzo, and successfully survived the death on the

root base.

In Uzumaki Misuzu's room, Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan were sitting around the bed.

Looking at the sleeping Uzumaki Misuzu, Yahiko sighed.

"Alas... Lord Danzo said at that time that he wanted to bring peace to the ninja world."

"But now he is..."

Although these three people were not included in the operation to destroy the Kusagakure Village, Yahiko and the others were not fools. They figured it out through various signs.

I unconsciously recalled the scene of our first meeting, as if it happened yesterday.

"Yahiko..."

Looking at his companion who was in a dilemma, Xiaonan's tone was filled with some worry.

She didn't quite understand Danzo's actions this time, but after years of getting along, she had already regarded Danzo as a family member.

Looking at Nagato, Konan hoped that he could say something so that Yahiko would stop worrying about it.

"Meiling told me about her inhuman experience in the Land of Grass."

"If Danzo-sama hadn't destroyed the village, she wouldn't have been brought back by chance."

"Besides, this might just be the tip of the iceberg of Kusagakure Village. There may be more shady things going on in secret."

Feeling Konan's gaze, Nagato withdrew his gaze from Uzumaki Misuzu and told Yahiko about what the Kusagakure Village had done.

After listening to Nagato's story, Yahiko's eyes relaxed a little, but he still felt that something was wrong.

"We should have a good talk with the other party instead of taking direct action. Only in this way can we ..."

Nagato once strongly agreed with Yahiko's statement of striving for peace without relying on force.

But when he learned about the origin and end of the Uzumaki clan from Kushina, his thoughts gradually changed.

Coupled with this conversation with Uzumaki Misuzu, he realized clearly how naive his previous thoughts were, and that it was impossible to achieve true peace just by talking.

A world where people understand each other does not exist. Human nature has an ugly side.

A strong fist is the real truth. Only when your own strength is strong enough can you force others to agree with your ideas.

"Yahiko, I've seen through it all these years, don't you understand yet?"

"Everything that Master Danzo does is to nip the crisis in the bud."

"Nagato, this..."

Yahiko and Konan were both shocked by Nagato's words.

As far as I can remember, this good friend has never been so strong before.

"Strength, only strength. Only when one's own strength is strong enough, can one be qualified to talk about true peace."

"Otherwise, everything is just empty talk and fantasy."

“Only the strong deserve peace, while the weak can only hide in the dark and beg for mercy from the strong, hoping for peace.”

Originally, Yahiko did not want to agree with Nagato's remarks.

But when Yahiko heard how Uzumaki Karin was treated in Kusagakure Village, he finally began to waver.

Besides, Kushina had told them about the fate of the Whirlpool Country.

Compared to the Rain Country, the people in the Whirlpool Country have a harder life.

"I...I still can't agree with that."

Despite this, Yahiko still gritted his teeth and insisted on his idea. After saying this, he left the room without looking back.

"Nagato, Yahiko..."

Turning her gaze towards Nagato, Konan's tone was filled with worry.

In her heart, she agreed with Nagato's idea, but she couldn't abandon Yahiko.

In the end, Konan could only gently shake Nagato's hand and run out after Yahiko.

"Ah..." Nagato sighed.

Ever since he heard about what happened to the Uzumaki clan, he has felt like a huge rock was pressing on his heart.

Until a few days ago, Danzo brought Uzumaki Misuzu back and heard about her experience.

Nagato also forced himself to suppress his emotions until Yahiko's remarks this time made him completely explode.

In a hurry, his tone became heavier.

After hesitating for a long time, Nagato stood up, closed the door gently, and went out to look for Yahiko.

Danzo himself was unaware of this little dispute at the Root base.

At this moment, he was sitting in the Hokage's office, with Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu sitting next to him.

Konoha F4 reunites after a long absence and gathers together again.

"Well, I called you here because something happened."

"That's the one. The transport team that went to the Sand Village to receive the gold sand disappeared in the border of the River Country three days ago."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression was extremely ugly, he crossed his fingers and said nothing more.

He had a bad feeling in his heart when the transport team failed to return to the village on time.

Since most of the remaining jonin in the village were in the direction of Kusagakure Village, Sarutobi Hiruzen had no choice but to send out the two gatekeepers of Konoha Village.

In order to prevent these two funny guys from getting into any accidents, he even arranged for a squad of Anbu members to go together.

Unexpectedly, problems still occurred in the end.

Danzo was somewhat surprised to hear that the transport team was missing.

Mitomon En spoke first: "Have you found any trace of them yet?"

"Unfortunately, no."

Hearing the other party's question, Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head helplessly.

"Then, we will send out the search team now and do our best to find any trace of the transport team."

As a practical man, Danzo immediately raised his hand and expressed his thoughts.

"Yes, I have asked the nearby Jonin to rush over."

The teams that could get there the fastest at this time were Jiraiya's Team 7 and Team 9 led by a ninja who did not want to reveal his name.

And a patrol team led by a weirdo named Uchiha Husky who had just retired from the police force and transferred to the border patrol force.

"It is not ruled out that this incident was deliberately instigated by the Sand Village. Hiruzen, you must be prepared." Utane Koharu reminded from the side.

"I'm sorry to trouble you for this, Xiaochun."

Hearing what Utatane Koharu said, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.

"You will lead the team to the Sand Village and keep an eye on them in the name of accountability."

Regardless of whether this was done by the Sand Village or not, Sarutobi Hiruzen would send people to keep an eye on them.

And Utane Koharu, who had once fought against the Sand Village ninjas at the border of River Country, was naturally the best choice for this operation.

"No problem, leave it to me."

Nodding solemnly, Utane Koharu agreed readily.

"Danzo, your Roots must also take action and see if they can find out any information."

"Oh, poor K."

Danzo made an "OK" gesture. Even if Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't say anything, he would act secretly.

When it comes to intelligence networks, the Root can be said to be dozens of blocks ahead of the Anbu.

After discussing the details, they said goodbye to Sarutobi Hiruzen and left the office.
