Shiraishi nodded and said: "Then don't worry about the evil cultist for the time being. Not long ago, according to intelligence personnel within Iwagakure Village, Iwagakure's ANBU dispatched on a large scale and left the village. I don't know what they are looking for."

"Anbu?"

Nonoyu blinked.

"Although we haven't received accurate information yet, Onoki suddenly sent ANBU to leave the village on a large scale to search for something outside... It is very likely that the last tailed beast in Iwagakure - the four-tailed beast - is missing."

If this were not the case, Shiraishi would not have expected that Ohnoki would suddenly make a large-scale move to mobilize ANBU to go out to search for something, which was obviously inappropriate.

"Akatsuki people really know how to look for opportunities."

Nonoyu sighed.

"Yes, behind this matter, there are still shadows of root activities."

Bai Shi said quietly.

The intelligence system established by Roots in Iwagakure Village was managed by Nonoyu back then.

Now Nebu uses this intelligence system to reach some kind of deal with the Akatsuki organization, but the content of the deal is unknown to Shiraishi.

But Danzo must have gained something from the Akatsuki organization, which made Shiraishi a little concerned.

"Like Akatsuki, these people are really haunted."

As a former member of the Roots, Nonoyu is well aware of the mystery and terror of the Roots.

Even she, a senior staff member, cannot know the complete picture of the root.

Perhaps the only person who knew the whole story from beginning to end was Danzo.

It is also the strongest fortress within Konoha and is more difficult to penetrate than the Anbu of Hokage.

"Some of Danzo's recent actions are a bit weird. Although I don't know what he is planning, but no matter what, he is not the best candidate for the 'Fifth Hokage' in my mind. I want to completely mess up Konoha.

, we can only find a dovish Hokage to take office."

A coldness flashed in Bai Shi's eyes.

"Isn't this kind of thing easy?"

Nonoyu blinked.

Although the Demon Country's military has planted many spies inside Konoha, trying to influence the Hokage's election is a bit of a fantasy.

Most of the power in Konoha comes from the Ninja clan, and the power of the Ninja clan is hereditary.

For example, the position of Jonin squad leader of the Nara clan.

A security force controlled by the extinct Uchiha clan.

Before Kakashi, the power of the ANBU had always been in the hands of the Sarutobi clan.

Other ninja clans such as the Aburame clan and the Akimichi clan also have some power of their own.

This means that the selection of Hokage has always been under the control of the Ninja clan. Only when it is in their interests can Hokage take office.

Once the interests of the majority of the ninja clan conflict with each other, the voice of the Hokage cannot be conveyed and becomes a pawn and puppet.

Therefore, it is simply overestimating one's capabilities to rely on spies trained from Konoha's civilian class to interfere in the Hokage's election.

"Let's talk about this kind of thing later. There is no rush for now. In addition to asking you to come back this time, I want to know about the country of Yu. There is one more thing I want to confirm with you."

Shiraishi opened the drawer and rummaged through something.

"What's up?"

Nonoyu took a step forward.

"His name is Yakushi Kabuto. According to the information provided by Kakashi, he appears to be an ordinary Konoha genin, but secretly he has very close contacts with Danzo and Orochimaru... His last name is the same as yours.

, I want to ask, do you know this person?"

Shiraishi took out a document and spread it out. There was a photo on the left side of the top corner of the first page.
