Chapter 543 Follow-up

That afternoon.

After the meeting, Qingming, Sano Nobuhisa and others wrote a report and sent it to Nara Qiguang urgently.

In the report, Qingming told the whole story of the incident, including the actions of the Root Organization.

However, he did not directly state that he knew the identities of these people, but only mentioned that a group of unidentified people attacked him.

In addition, he did not say in the report how he found the other party.

However, his words implied that these people were on his side, and the information of this operation had been seriously leaked.

In this way, if Nara Qiguang still wants to command other people, he must give him an explanation.

Otherwise, if this matter is spread, who will dare to take the task?

Obviously, Qingming did this to put pressure on the other party.

With Nara Qiguang's IQ, from the information he provided and some other clues, it is not difficult to guess that Danzo and his Root Organization are behind this incident.

After all, the other party had already noticed something before this mission, so it doesn't make sense that he couldn't find anything after more clues.

Even if Danzo cut off the clues and there was no evidence, he should be able to guess the whole story.

In this way, whether it is to give Qingming an explanation or to appease others, he must put pressure on the village.

Of course, Qingming also knew that it was impossible to overthrow Danzo by doing this, but as long as the third generation restricted the other party's actions, it would be fine.

Anyway, time is on his side. When this war is over, he will find an opportunity to kill him, and the matter will be clear.

In addition, his implicit expression of dissatisfaction can also make him relax his vigilance and think that he is still within the rules.

In this way, when he takes action, he can also catch the other party off guard.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Qingming no longer paid attention to these things after submitting the report.

In the end, the ninja world still speaks with fists. If he has this free time, he might as well practice more!

It just so happens that today's travel and fighting delayed him a lot of time, now it's time to make up for it.

With this thought, Qingming immediately flew out of the Black Stone Stronghold and came to the familiar dense forest to the west, then performed the "Shadow Clone Technique" and began his own practice.

While he was practicing, Nara Qiguang received the report from him and Sano Nobuhisa. After reading it quickly, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

As Qingming expected, combined with the report he submitted and some doubts about the intelligence this time, Nara Qiguang quickly deduced the truth of the matter.

"Again."

He muttered in dissatisfaction.

With Nara Qiguang's wisdom, he could easily think that this was another action of the Root Organization against the Uchiha clan.

Nara Qiguang still remembered that five months ago, when Qingming and his group of people came to support, they were ambushed by the Mist Ninja because of Danzo's deliberate leak of secrets.

At that time, he also wrote a letter to the Third Hokage, asking him to take care of Danzo.

It hasn't been quiet for a few months, and the other party is making trouble again.

This makes Nara Qiguang very dissatisfied.

Of course, he is dissatisfied not for Qingming or Uchiha clan, but because he thinks that Danzo's making trouble can easily disrupt his plan and cause loopholes in the defense line.

If the Mist Ninja takes the opportunity to make some trouble, he will be the one to clean up the mess in the end.

In addition, such repeated information leaks will also invisibly reduce his prestige. If he has any orders in the future, his subordinates may not work hard.

Nara Qiguang will never allow such a thing to happen.

The war is about to end. If something goes wrong now, he will be the sinner.

"Damn it!"

Cursing secretly, Nara Qiguang put down the report in his hand and wrote to the Third Hokage again, asking him to take care of Danzo.

·······

The next day.

Afternoon.

Konoha.

The headquarters base of the root.

Danzo walked into his office with a gloomy face.

Sitting on the chair behind the table, he squinted his eyes, looked at the two people below, and said lightly: "Tell me, why did the operation fail?"

Although his voice was flat, anyone here could hear the anger contained in it.

It's not his fault, it's really that he was feeling aggrieved.

Not long ago, Sarutobi Hiruzen called him to the Hokage's office and questioned him about the operation in the Kirigakure battlefield, and also severely warned him not to target the Uchiha clan again, especially the Uchiha brat.

He said that the pressure on the front line was very high, and if he continued to do so, it would easily cause dissatisfaction among some jonin.

This made Danzo furious.

Why did he do this?

It's for the village!

The Uchiha clan is a clan that is born evil. If they are allowed to grow and develop, the village will definitely be destroyed because of them.

If we don't take advantage of the current chaotic situation to get rid of those potential brats, what if they grow up and cause harm to the village?

Everything he did was for the village.

As a result, Hiruzen was still warning him again and again.

"Damn it!"

The more he thought about it, the angrier Danzo got.

Fortunately, a Root ninja below spoke up and temporarily brought his sanity back.

Then he said, "Your Excellency, according to the information provided by 'Kusang' and our subsequent investigation, it is basically certain that the failure of this operation was because Uchiha Qingming discovered our arrangement in advance and took the initiative to attack, resulting in most of the means we prepared not being used, so it failed."

The so-called 'Kusang' is actually the name of the summoned beast of the Root Jonin who is good at water escape ninjutsu, that is, the sloth-like thing.

Not long ago, the Root once again arranged for a person to contract the other party through the contract scroll, so as to learn some information about that battle.

However, Danzo was not very satisfied with his answer and asked directly: "Even if it was a head-on battle, with the 'Four Life Seal Formation', how did that kid escape?"

"Your Excellency, according to the information provided by 'Kusang', Uchiha Qingming did not escape the shackles of the 'Four Life Seal Formation'. It was delayed until Crane and others were sealed and their vitality was drained, and then they began to fight back."

Another Root ninja replied.

"What?"

Danzo was shocked when he heard this.

He was very clear about the effect of the 'Four Life Seal Formation'. To be frank, even if he was trapped in it, facing the siege of several Root Ninjas, he could not hold out for so long.

At this moment, Danzo was very alert.

He took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled. After calming down, he said, "Jia, tell me everything immediately."

Before, he only listened to the results, but now, he must understand the whole story.

Only in this way can he make the most accurate judgment.

"Yes, sir!"

Jia responded after hearing this, and then began to narrate his investigation results in detail, without missing any details.
