Chapter 82 Danzo: You mean Matsuri? That's impossible! Hiashi's worries, Naruto: I don't have the strength!
Let alone 100,000, even if it were a million, people would probably be scrambling to buy it.
When it comes to one's future, one can use future information to weigh the pros and cons.
Thinking of this, Naruto's expression became conflicted.
Because for him right now, 100,000 is really expensive!
"By the way, shopkeeper, do you know about Fog Shadow Village?"
Suddenly, Naruto Uzumaki thought of something and quickly asked.
"Mist Shadow Village?"
Upon hearing Naruto's words, Lin Mo immediately became interested: "I know, so what's wrong? Why are you suddenly asking about Kirigakure?"
This village is located deep in the mountains, its territory often shrouded in thick fog, completely isolated from other countries.
The country has a unique topography, with many mountains despite being surrounded by sea on all sides.
It must be said that the terrain is quite good.
Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, Naruto's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Then do you know if Kirigakure was involved in the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools? I don't think the Land of Whirlpools was so easily destroyed. Small ninja villages probably couldn't defeat the Uzumaki clan, who have sealing techniques and super regenerative abilities."
"A good intuition."
Upon hearing Naruto's words, Lin Mo understood.
Naruto Uzumaki is actually investigating the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools.
Thinking back to what Naruto Uzumaki had asked last time, Lin Mo wasn't surprised.
"I don't know for sure, because I can't give you a guess that I'm not sure about."
Meeting Naruto's hopeful gaze, Lin Mo gently shook his head and said, "But one thing is certain: the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools did indeed have the shadow of a major power, perhaps one, or perhaps three."
"And what's the point of you investigating these things now? The Land of Whirlpools has been destroyed, and all information about it has vanished."
"The most crucial thing is your current strength. You're not strong at all. Even if you know that the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools was related to the Hidden Mist Village, do you think you can just run over there and wipe out the Hidden Mist Village? Do you even have the strength to do that?"
Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, Naruto Uzumaki suddenly fell silent.
Yes, the shop owner is right.
"So listen to me, make money first, then come to me to open the cans. That's how you improve your strength."
The next second, Lin Mo changed the subject and said, "Maybe what you want can also be opened from the jar."
Naruto Uzumaki: "."
Hearing this, Naruto Uzumaki felt a toothache.
The shop owner probably wanted him to open more jars, right?
He has no money.
He's poor.
He also wanted to open more jars.
But not having money is very painful.
But it must be said that Lin Mo was right; he needed to make money as soon as possible to open the can.
Then improve your own strength.
As for the investigation of the Land of Whirlpools, of course it must be investigated; he will not give up.
After all, that's his own home.
My home has never been Konoha!
And now, that opportunity has arrived.
Thinking of this, Naruto touched the first volume of manga in his pocket, took a deep breath, and pondered its contents.
Before that, I need to improve my strength quickly, otherwise I won't be able to do anything then.
"I understand, shopkeeper."
Naruto Uzumaki looked at Lin Mo with a determined expression: "Then my next step is to train and make money."
"good."
Hearing Naruto's words, Lin Mo nodded: "The simplest chakra training right now is something like walking on water and climbing trees. You attach chakra to your feet and use it. In the future, you will be able to run on the water using chakra without worrying about falling in."
Lin Mo explained the basics of chakra usage, which made Naruto's eyes light up.
He had never heard of these things before.
"Thank you, shop owner!"
After listening to Lin Mo's explanation and learning some chakra training methods, Naruto immediately bowed deeply and said, "Then I'll head back now."
After returning home, besides training, I also had to read the second volume of the comic.
"It was just a small favor."
Upon hearing Naruto's words, Lin Mo smiled faintly.
It's just a matter of sooner or later; telling Naruto Uzumaki isn't a big deal.
Naruto then quickly ran out of the can shop.
The way we came is the way we'll leave.
"Um?"
Just as Lin Mo was about to look away, he suddenly saw the edge of the True Sight Guardian's range, which was a radius of one thousand meters.
An ANBU ninja appeared, lingered for a while to watch Naruto, and then continued on their way without paying him any attention.
"That outfit must belong to the Root."
Looking at the ninja, Lin Mo pinched his chin and raised an eyebrow.
It seems they weren't monitoring Naruto.
Shouldn't the roots be paralyzed now?
How come they still have time to run around like this?
Lin Mo shook his head, withdrew his gaze, stopped thinking about it, and continued to refine his chakra.
And at this very moment.
The Root ninja who brushed past Naruto Uzumaki didn't linger and continued on to another location.
Soon they arrived at a pitch-black underground environment.
This environment has various facilities, and even entry and exit are subject to checks.
After a while of fussing around, this person finally arrived at a room.
in the room.
Danzo was slumped in his wheelchair.
Danzo's wheelchair was being pushed by a Root ninja, his eyes filled with coldness.
"Lord Danzo, we conducted a thorough investigation of the surrounding area, but found no clues."
The Root ninja who appeared knelt on one knee and said respectfully, "However, we found out about Tsunade-sama's assistant, Shizune. She entered Konoha a few days ago and left today. She is staying at the Konoha Inn on the 63rd Street. It seems that her purpose in coming to Konoha was to gather information."
"Mute?"
Upon hearing this, Danzo's eyes narrowed sharply: "You mean, the nameless toxin in our Root organization might be related to her?"
Upon realizing Shizune's identity, Danzo instantly wanted to sit up straight, but his body was so weak that he couldn't sit down at all.
This made Danzo so angry that he wanted to smash the wheelchair on the spot, but he didn't have the strength.
"It shouldn't be. The other party has no motive to attack, and they've been in Konoha for a while now, operating within a certain area."
The Root ninja respectfully replied, "I just left today."
"Um."
Upon hearing this, Danzo paused for a moment, then nodded.
Indeed, he built that base himself.
In addition, a ninjutsu barrier was set up to prevent the Byakugan from spying on them.
As the root, it naturally cannot be exposed.
It's no exaggeration to say that even if the Hyuga clan wanted to use their Byakugan, they wouldn't be able to find it; the barrier wouldn't even let them see it.
He had previously told Hiruzen Sarutobi that he wanted to take this opportunity to strike at the Hyuga clan.
Unfortunately, it was blocked by Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Thinking of this, Danzo's face turned extremely ugly: "So, in the end, the reason still lies with the traitor within?"
This is what he finds most unacceptable, and he believes it is absolutely impossible for it to happen!
Because anyone who joins the root is chosen by Him.
At the same time, it will also seal the root of trouble in the tongue.
The person under the spell will become paralyzed throughout their body whenever they try to say anything related to a specific matter, rendering them unable to speak or move.
Unless I die!
He had searched through almost all the Root ninjas over the past few days, but found no clues.
Could it be that someone broke the seal that severed the root of tongue-related disasters?
This is impossible!
The Root ninja did not answer Danzo's question, but instead bowed his head respectfully.
At this moment, none of them are unaware that Lord Danzo is in a fit of rage.
"I remember your name is 'Ji' (祭)."
After a long silence, Danzo looked at the Root ninja in front of him and said coldly, "Have you found anything about the Hyuga clan?"
"Yes, Lord Danzo."
Upon hearing Danzo's words, the Root ninja known as Matsuri nodded: "We didn't find anything useful from the Hyuga clan's side, nor did we see any members of the Hyuga clan's main family traveling alone. I used some underhanded methods to enter the Hyuga clan's territory, but found no one there."
"Besides that, I wanted to gather some information and enter some places, but the places were not defended at all. It was a study, but there was no defense at all, as if it was not an important place."
"Furthermore, there are some places outside the Hyuga clan that we rarely pass through. Even members of the Hyuga clan's branch families rarely travel there, and there are even several roads that are designated as off-limits."
"It seems the Hyuga clan has discovered all our hiding places, and even opened up some areas, leaving those places undefended. It seems like a complete set, so I didn't make any rash moves."
"They were like prophets."
At this point, Matsuri paused and said softly, "I even wanted to observe the movements of the Hyuga Hiashi clan leader from a distance. I changed locations these past two days, but I didn't see him activate his Byakugan, and he didn't even pass by the place where I was."
"Could it be that someone from the main family has been keeping their eyes open the whole time?"
Danzo frowned and said coldly, "Even the Byakugan consumes chakra, not to mention the need to see into the distance. Even if he used the Byakugan all day long, he would still need to rest the next day."
"Besides the Hyuga clan, and some openly monitored areas, have no other clandestine reconnaissance sites been discovered?"
"no."
"The Hyuga clan."
Upon hearing this, Danzo frowned.
It seems that even clues about the Hyuga clan are scarce.
There's definitely something wrong with the Hyuga clan!
That's what Danzo was thinking.
the other side.
The Hyuga clan's family territory.
In Hiashi Hyuga's study.
Hiashi Hyuga, using his True Sight Guardian to survey the surrounding area within a kilometer radius, rubbed his temples and said with a headache, "That mad dog Danzo has been acting more and more frequently these past two days. He even tried to send people into our territory. Has he gone mad? Why aren't the Anbu stopping him?"
"Are they setting their sights on our Hyuga clan?"
The thought of Danzo, that mad dog, becoming increasingly obsessed with the Hyuga clan, made Hiashi Hyuga's expression turn ugly.
He refused to believe that Danzo's actions could escape the notice of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Why should the third generation be left to their own devices?
Does the Hyuga clan not even have a little privacy?
Whether it was the territory of the Sarutobi clan or the territory of the Shimura clan, had I ever sent anyone to look at it with disdain?
"We can't possibly target my Hyuga clan."
The next second, the Hyuga clan suddenly realized something, and their expressions changed.
That's impossible.
The current Konoha cannot afford to go through any more turmoil.
The Third Hokage wasn't an idiot; how could he possibly allow Danzo to attack the Hyuga clan?
The other ninja clans in the village would not agree either.
But Danzo, that mad dog, is a different story.
Even if it's not done openly, they could still kidnap one or two members of the Hyuga clan.
Thinking of the Hyuga clan members who have occasionally disappeared over the years.
He remembered even the members of his own clan perfectly.
Have.
But very, very few.
"With the Chunin Exams approaching, some arrangements in the village need to be maintained by clan members. We can't assign members of the main family, and we should assign fewer members from other branches of the clan."
"If Danzo really wanted to abduct one or two people secretly, he would never do it at a time like this."
"But once the Chunin Exams are over, it's hard to say."
One idea after another appeared in the minds of the Hyuga clan, making Hiashi Hyuga's expression serious.
We must be wary of Danzo, that mad dog.
Considering his recent actions, Hiashi Hyuga felt that Danzo would probably make his move after the Chunin Exams ended.
At that time, they could have easily shifted the blame to the guys in other ninja villages.
"We need to open the jars as soon as possible to increase our strength. If we get good items, we won't need to worry about these things anymore."
"Hopefully we'll get something good tomorrow."
Thinking of Danzo's vicious dog-like gaze fixed on his Hyuga clan, Hyuga Hiashi took a deep breath.
I can open the jar myself tomorrow.
It would be even better if the item could improve my strength.
At that time, Danzo will not be a threat at all.
"What a pity, we couldn't seize the opportunity, otherwise there wouldn't be only three people left."
Thinking that only Hinata, Hanabi, and himself are still able to open the cans, Hiashi Hyuga fell silent.
It's not that he doesn't want to open more cans.
However, there was a lot of instability within the family.
You absolutely must not tell anyone about the family split, or it will cause a huge mess.
The same applies to the main family.
Those domineering old guys are only now gradually fading away, but that doesn't mean they've withdrawn from management.
Even as the head of the Hyuga clan, he often felt helpless and had a great headache.
The only consolation right now is that my two daughters are able to open the cans and get the opportunity to improve their abilities.
"The shop owner says that not many people are opening the jars right now, and even after several days, not many people have gone to open them. This means that whether it's me or anyone else who goes to open the jars, we all want to keep this secret."
"Including that nine-tailed brat."
"None of us are stupid."
Hiashi Hyuga thought to himself that there were very few other people besides himself who opened the cans, and he felt even more relieved.
"Hopefully, we'll get some good items tomorrow, whether it's something that will improve the family or increase our strength."
"But does that Nine-Tailed Fox manga contain any information about the Hyuga clan?"
Hiashi Hyuga thought of the manga that Naruto Uzumaki had opened, and his expression became somewhat serious.
In the future, it will actually appear in the form of a picture book.
When Naruto Uzumaki opened it and looked through it before, he did take a look.
That included not only Naruto Uzumaki, but also other people.
Will there be a Hyuga clan in the future?
He cares about this a lot.
If he could, he would like to look at that comic book.
Unfortunately, it ended up in the hands of that nine-tailed brat.
If you were to make contact yourself, you would definitely be targeted by the Root ninjas.
Their identities alone make them untouchable.
"Never mind, the booklet is small and doesn't contain much content, it should be harmless."
The next second, Hiashi Hyuga shook his head and said in a low voice, "Since the shopkeeper knows so much, he should also know the contents. I can take a look tomorrow and see if I can find an opportunity to ask the shopkeeper about the future of my Hyuga clan."
Tomorrow is a new day, time to open the jars.
That's what Hyuga Hiashi was thinking.
the other side.
Naruto Uzumaki's house.
Naruto Uzumaki sat on the bed, holding the brand-new second volume of the manga.
"This comic also features rich people."
Upon seeing the information about Gato, Naruto's breathing became rapid.
One of the world's few richest people?
How rich must they be?
And he's an utterly wicked villain?
They controlled all the wealth of the Land of Waves?
Isn't this just ready-made money?
My money is now secured.
If we rob this guy, we'll have the money to open the can, right?
"So, Momochi Zabuza from Kirigakure was sent by this Gato. Then we can rightfully capture Gato."
"However, a Jonin who can defect from a ninja village is definitely not someone I can handle."
"Oh, right, and Kakashi-sensei too. Let's leave him to Kakashi-sensei."
"I secretly found an opportunity to kidnap that Kado."
As Naruto flipped through the manga and saw Zabuza use the Hidden Mist Technique, his expression gradually became serious.
Jonin.
It's still a long way off for him.
"Has he been in the Hidden Mist Assassination Squad? He even knows about Kakashi-sensei, so he should know about the Land of Whirlpools."
"The people in the secret service must have records of past information."
"If I could become stronger, I could capture this guy and interrogate him about the Land of Whirlpools."
"But I don't have the ability."
As Naruto flipped through the manga, his expression was incredibly complex.
He didn't think that if he went straight to the point and asked this guy, this guy would tell him.
The simplest thing to do is to beat this guy down!
After beating him down, interrogate him properly.
"Training, you must train, only with strength can you have everything."
As Naruto flipped through the manga, he gradually discovered the terror of Zabuza Momochi, and his expression grew increasingly serious.
Everything is built on strength.
"Even if I speed up my training now, I still can't beat a Jonin."
"But I should be fine with Gato. After all, he's just an ordinary person. Even if he has ninjas around him, surely he's not a Jonin, is he?"
"If we can extort money, then we'll have the funds to open the can and improve our strength."
"My first target is this guy. I'll leave this Kirigakure Jonin to Kakashi-sensei."
"But is Kakashi-sensei really that weak? He was trapped by a Water Prison Jutsu?"
The more Naruto looked at it, the stranger it seemed.
The Sharingan can copy thousands of ninjutsu, yet he was captured upon first meeting?
"Is this some kind of test for us?"
The next second, Naruto Uzumaki seemed to realize something, and his expression became quite interesting.
