Just a few minutes ago, the Hokage Building, several Konoha high-level officials who had just finished negotiations with the Hidden Cloud Village were now all in the Hokage's office.

Originally, they had summoned the jonin last night to discuss offensive countermeasures against the Rain Country.

But just halfway through the meeting, the envoys from the Hidden Cloud Village came to Konoha, intending to establish diplomatic relations between the two countries.

So the Konoha high-level officials decided to end the jonin meeting first, and then began to discuss the benefits of establishing diplomatic relations between the two countries.

"Sarutobi, don't you think that the Hidden Cloud Village coming to our Konoha to form an alliance is problematic?"

At this time, Danzo, who was sitting in his seat, suddenly frowned and asked Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting in the position of Hokage.

In his opinion, the Land of Earth has already fought with the Land of Wind, and the Land of Rain has also begun to prepare for war against the Land of Fire, Land, and Wind.

The Land of Lightning should not have any need to participate, so it is reasonable to just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, but this time the Land of Lightning came to the Land of Fire to establish diplomatic relations between the two countries.

This made Danzo, who has always been very cautious, see the disadvantages, and he felt that this matter was not simple

"What could be the problem? Isn’t it good that the two countries have established diplomatic relations now?"

"This way, when we attack the Rain Country, we won't have to worry about them stabbing us in the back."

Before Sarutobi Hiruzen could say anything, Mito Kado En jumped out and retorted to Danzo, saying,"You're worrying too much."

In his opinion, Danzo was just making a fuss, looking for a sense of presence everywhere, and always worrying about this and that.

This kind of conspicuousness was something that Mito Kado En, the Hokage's senior advisor, had long disliked.

"However, they were too careless during the negotiations, lacking any etiquette, and their subordinates often came over to inform them of the information."

"The most important thing is that we had been discussing the alliance for a whole day but they signed the treaty to establish diplomatic relations and left in a hurry because of a message from their subordinates."

"I guess they might be stalling for time on purpose to achieve some unknown purpose."

Thinking back to the sneaky actions of the delegation from the Land of Lightning during today's negotiation, Danzo felt that something was very wrong.

"Is it possible that you are overthinking? What if they left in a hurry because of something urgent?"

Mitomon En seemed to be targeting Danzo this time, and every word he said was denying Danzo's speculation.

"you……"Danzo stared at Mitomon En intently, with a fierce look in his eyes.

At this moment, he had a murderous intent in his heart, as if he had already started thinking about how to kill him.

"Okay, calm down."

Sarutobi Hiruzen watched the two former friends arguing with each other, and he couldn't stand it anymore and said directly:

"I also think this matter is a bit strange. I sent someone to pay attention to the movements of those Cloud Ninjas in Konoha to see if they have any strange behavior."

"Humph, I'll let you go this time."

Danzo snorted coldly, no longer caring about the matter, sitting in his seat with his head down, thinking about something.

"Tsk."

Mitomon Yan looked disdainful. Since the Hokage had spoken, he couldn't continue to say anything. He sat aside and closed his eyes to rest.

"Come on, send a few ANBU jonin to monitor the few Kumo ninjas who just left."

After seeing the two men finally quiet down, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his pipe and directed his command towards the corner.

""Yes, sir!"

Several figures of the Anbu appeared in the office, knelt on one knee and shouted in unison, then left quickly.

After the Anbu ninja left, the remaining Hokage high-ranking officials did not leave either, and quietly waited for news from the Kumo ninja.

After a while, the Anbu ninja appeared in the office again.

"Report to the Hokage, the Kumogakure delegation left the Hokage building in a hurry, and the direction they left was exactly the direction of the Land of Lightning."

"Haha, Danzo-sama has nothing to say now, I think he left in a hurry because he had something urgent to do, how could there be any conspiracy."

With an accusing tone, Mitomon Yan looked at Danzo with a sinister smile.

What conspiracy could there be? You are just looking for a sense of existence. Now I will destroy your tricks.

""Hmph!"

Danzo snorted coldly, without replying, but his face was very gloomy.

At this moment, another Anbu ninja appeared in the office.

"Report to the Hokage, there are eyewitnesses claiming that several tall masked ninjas kidnapped a red-haired child and ran out of the village."

"What!"Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up suddenly, with a look of surprise on his face.

"The Uzumaki clan was kidnapped?"

"Tall? The only ninjas coming to Konoha now are from the Land of Lightning, which means the Kumogakure have kidnapped the Uzumaki clan."

Danzo and his companions also showed surprised expressions and speculated.

"I said there was something wrong with the Kumo Ninja. It turns out they were trying to divert attention. On the surface, they were trying to hold us back by forming an alliance, but secretly they were sending people to kidnap the Uzumaki clan."

"Hehe, the Cloud Ninjas are really good at calculating."

In an instant, he analyzed the entire plan of the Cloud Ninjas and said it with a smile on his face.

"I wonder if you, Mr. Mitomon En, the senior advisor of the Hokage, are you an undercover sent by the Kumo Ninja to disrupt the thinking of our Konoha high-level officials?"

With a happy expression, Danzo finally found a chance for revenge. He directly put the charge of being an undercover agent on Mitomon En's head.

Let's see if you dare to argue with me again in the future.

For a moment, everyone in the office looked at Mitomon En with suspicious eyes.

"You...you, don't spit blood on me, how could I be an undercover."

Mitomon En pointed at Danzo, and now he couldn't explain it clearly.

He was also wronged. He originally planned to confront Danzo and ask him to stop showing off his power, but now he was defeated by him.

He was really unlucky today.

"Stop arguing! Someone, send all the jonin to search Konoha from top to bottom. Don't let any of the Kumo ninjas slip through the net."

"At the same time, the Anbu ninjas were fully engaged in the pursuit of the ninjas who had kidnapped the Uzumaki clan, and they had to bring the Uzumaki clan members back."

Not in the mood to pay attention to the quarrel between the two, Sarutobi Hiruzen issued an emergency order.

In an instant, all the ninjas of Konoha were dispatched to start this emergency search.

………

At the same time, Minato went out to buy groceries to prepare dinner, so he walked alone on the way to the store.

"Have you heard that a red-haired kid was kidnapped today? A hole was blown in the wall over there, and he has already run away from Konoha Village."

"What just happened is that people from other ninja villages wanted to kidnap the children and take them as hostages. If they can't reach an agreement with Konoha, they will be killed."

"Really? Is it so cruel?"

"Alas, I heard that the little girl was a very nice person and quite shy. I thought she would grow up safely, but I didn't expect that she would be kidnapped."

"It seems that he won’t live long."

At this time, a group of aunties in their 40s and 50s came out of the store.

They had just finished buying groceries and gathered together to chat. They told each other what had just happened.

"Kidnapping? Red-haired girl? Shy?"

Minato just happened to listen to everything they said.

After hearing the description of the girl, Minato felt something was wrong.

"Is it Reina? Is Reina in trouble?"

Throwing down the bag in his hand, Minato ran out of the village in the direction the aunts pointed without looking back.

"I hope she's okay! I'll be there soon."
