Chapter 284: Speculations

Hokage Tower.

Hiruzen was behind his desk going via varied paperwork from the patrol squads. A Particular Jonin stood in entrance of him and reported the present state of affairs.

“All of the escaped prisoners have been captured and are in custody. We have accounted for everybody. The correctional facility is operational with 4 groups of guards working in three shifts.”

“Has there been any suspicious actions close to the village?” Hiruzen requested and the ninja shook his head. “No sir. Nothing out of the atypical.”

Hiruzen nodded and leaned again in his chair. “Good. Dismissed.”

The ninja vanished and Hiruzen set free a protracted breath of air. ‘It has been a very long time since I’ve had a troubled evening just like the one I’ve had. Seems to be like Orochimaru hadn’t used the possibility to trigger any chaos. That is good. Nonetheless Why do I really feel so uneasy?’

At the moment Genma appeared and regarded on the kage with concern on his face. “Lord Hokage, you are drained. You have not slept or eaten something since yesterday. Maybe you need to get some relaxation.”

“It is tempting however there’s nonetheless a lot work to be completed Genma.” The previous kage yawned tiredly simply as he completed his sentence. He rubbed his eyes and set free one other deep breath. “Perhaps a brief nap is not such a nasty factor.”

Genma smiled as he regarded on the chief of the village. “Sure. Every thing’s resolved with none problems In order that’s excellent news.”

Raido and Iwashi additionally appeared and stood close to Genma. They had been prepared to move Hiruzen to his dwelling however immediately there was a knock on the door.

“Are available.” Hiruzen spoke and shortly two extremely revered members of the Leaf ninja power entered the room. The pinnacle of the interrogation division Ibiki Morino and chief of the Evaluation Group Inoichi Yamanaka.

“Inoichi, Ibiki. What have you ever realized from the Mizuki and his accomplices?” Hiruzen requested and Inochi replied first.

“I’ve excellent news and unhealthy Lord Hokage.”

Hiruzen sighed listening to that. ‘In fact there’s unhealthy information. Simply my luck.’ He regarded on the blonde haired man and nodded to proceed. “Inform me the excellent news first.”

“I’ve gone via the recollections of Zefrek, Haroshi, Seijo and the others Kakashi’s staff captured. Mizuki was their contact and he is the one which provided them with weapons and shinobi gear. He is been planning this for months. The plan was to take the forbidden scroll and depart the nation. Their objective was to go to Orochimaru safety and the Scroll of Seals was their bargaining chip. It was Mizuki’s plan. The staff that precipitated havoc within the village was a distraction so Mizuki may kill Naruto and the others and get the scroll. From what I’ve realized there isn’t any one else concerned. So we do not have to fret about one other traitor serving to Zefrek. That is the excellent news” Inoichi stopped and regarded on the Kage.

“Alright. Now what is the unhealthy information?”

It was Ibiki who answered. “It was Mizuki’s plan for them to go to Orochimaru. Sadly he did not share it together with his staff. And when Inoichi did a Thoughts stroll on Mizuki he got here throughout highly effective boundaries and safety in his thoughts. And due to his distinctive situation I am unable to make use of different ways with out the danger of killing him. The intelligence and whereabouts he has on Orochimaru will likely be of nice use to us. So I’ve shunned any drastic measures to get your opinion, Lord Hokage.”

“That curse seal actually did a quantity on him did not it?” Hiruzen mumbled however everybody heard him.

“It fully destroyed his physique. It’s miles totally different from the one used on Anko. If I needed to make a guess, I might say this seal was developed properly earlier than the one he gave to Anko.” Ibiki spoke.

Inoichi nodded. “Mizuki would not have a lot time. If he hadn’t completed what he did, I might really feel sorry for him.”

Hiruzen leaned again and thought concerning the predicament they had been in relating to Mizuki. “The boundaries inside Mizuki. Have you learnt how lengthy it can take you to interrupt via them with out inflicting any injury to his thoughts?” He requested the Yamanaka.

“If I put all my focus and vitality into that job, then a day or two. That is if nothing goes mistaken…”

Hiruzen checked out Inoichi and noticed that there was one thing else the person needed to say. “What’s it?”

“The boundaries. It was as in the event that they had been created to particularly defend in opposition to an intrusion from a Yamanaka. Solely somebody from the Yamanaka clan may have created the boundaries he has in his thoughts.” Inoichi’s fists clenched as he thought concerning the traitor that got here from his clan.Up to date from novelbIn.(c)om

“I take it you are speaking about Ko Yamanaka.”

Daichi was shocked however he did not present any outward response when he heard that title. ‘So the Hokage has already put Kabuto below investigation and commentary huh. That is good. If his males had investigated Kabuto’s background completely then there’s a probability that the previous guys knew Kabuto was as soon as a part of Root. That is good.’

Inoichi remembered the title Kabuto. “Wait. Kabuto? Kabuto Yakushi? Is not he a medic Genin within the village?”

Hiruzen nodded and spoke, shedding gentle on the state of affairs. “Sure. Kabuto’s rank is Genin however in reality he’s Orochimaru’s shut aide and his spy within the village. Final evening he escaped Anbu surveillance with the help of a big staff.”

“That is not excellent news. First Orochimaru assaults Girl Tsunade and now he removes his spy from the village. He is planning one thing massive.” The lengthy haired Yamanaka spoke.

“Sure. Orochimaru is taking precautions.” Hiruzen had doubts in his thoughts. ‘Does he know? Is he merely taking a precaution or has he picked up on my staff’s surveillance earlier than tonight?’

Daichi knew Tsunade was alive due to the hunt that appeared. ‘In the event that they consider she is alive then they’re going to be much more motivated to seek out her as quickly as potential. But when they suppose she’s useless they’re going to nonetheless examine however they’re going to spend invaluable time on making ready battle plans on the best way to carry down Orochimaru. Proper now a very powerful factor is to save lots of Tsunade.’

Hiruzen turned to Raido Namiashi and spoke. “Be sure the village is on alert. Inform the patrol squads to remain vigilant. However earlier than that, get me Kakashi, Asuma, Man and a Jonin monitoring squad.”

“Sure sir.” Raido nodded vanished in a swirl of leaves.

Hiruzen walked again to his chair and sat with a heavy coronary heart. “If something occurs to Tsunade If he killed her”

“I do not suppose Girl Tsunade is useless, Lord Hokage.” Daichi spoke, gaining his consideration.

“What makes you say that? He hates me and he hates the village. He may have gone after her within the hope of wounding me and lowering the power of the village.” Hiruzen did not wish to consider his personal phrases however he needed to be ready for the worst case state of affairs.

Daichi shook his head listening to that reasoning. “From what I heard from sensei and what I realized of the person, Orochimaru is a ruthless individual however he additionally is not an fool. He would know that going after sensei would imply coping with extreme repercussions. I feel that is the rationale he hadn’t gone after Tsunade sensei all these years. “

“However he has now.” Ibiki spoke up.

Daichi turned and nodded. “Sure. And which means one thing’s modified One thing basic. I feel Orochimaru attacked Tsunade sensei and Shizune, to not kill them however to abduct them.”

“What are you considering Daichi?” Hiruzen requested the Genin. He knew Daichi had good perception and needed to know what he considered the state of affairs.

Daichi set free a deep breath and centered. “There are two predominant explanation why Orochimaru would go after Tsunade sensei. I do not suppose it is to kill her. One. I feel it is to make use of her skills. To make use of her medical abilities for some nefarious plan he has in thoughts. Perhaps utilizing Shizune senpai and forcing Tsunade sensei to assist with some medical experiment. Or perhaps to heal somebody. Somebody who could possibly be a menace to the village.”

Hiruzen clenched his fist as she listened to the situations. “On her personal, Tsunade would by no means assist him. But when Orochimaru threatens Shizune’s life That woman is household to her. If Orochimaru has a sword over neck” Hiruzen sighed and closed his eyes tight. ‘Rattling it. That is all my fault. I ought to have handled him after I had the possibility.’

Genma sighed seeing the Hokage’s troubled face. “What is the second cause?” He turned to the boy and requested.

At that query Daichi’s face turned much more grim and the individuals within the room had an ominous feeling creeping up of their hearts. After just a few moments of silence Daichi spoke.

“Purpose quantity two… To make use of Tsunade sensei as an experiment.”
