Especially in this special situation, the work of monitoring the roots cannot be careless.

"Everything is normal at the moment, but I don't think it's that simple here."

Kakashi replied.

"Yeah, that's what worries me too."

Hiruzen was worried.

If Danzo came out to cause trouble at this time, it would make him feel at ease, but if he kept silent like this, he didn't know what he was planning secretly.

That made Hiruzen feel restless.

Danzo like this must be plotting some major conspiracy secretly.

Only by bringing Tsunade back to Konoha as soon as possible and letting everything settle can we dispel the thoughts that should not have arisen in Danzo's mind.

Even he, the Hokage, doesn't know how strong the root is, how many people there are, and how many radicals it has secretly contacted.

Once these people riot, it will be a very terrible thing.

"Do you need me to deploy some manpower here?"

Shikaku suggested.

He didn't have any good methods for the roots.

Danzo basically does things flawlessly, and it's hard to find any excuses.

The roots are extremely hidden and the power is huge. Even among the Nara clan, there are voices that seek refuge with Danzo. Although these voices are very small, they also show that the current situation is serious.

Danzo, who has united so many fighting factions, has already threatened the Hokage with his power.

"It's not necessary for the time being, it's not that bad yet."

Hiruzen also considered using the power of the Inar, Deer, and Butterfly clans, but gave up after thinking about it.

Doing so will only alert the enemy and make Danzo hide deeper.

"Kakashi, you will temporarily return to the ANBU until the Fifth Hokage is confirmed to take office."

Hiruzen quickly made arrangements.

Considering mobility, it would be better to let the ANBU monitor the root's movements.

"Then Class 7"

"I will find another jounin to take his place temporarily."

"Yes, I'm fine."

Watching Kakashi retreat, Hiruzen also leaned back on the seat and slowly exhaled, his wrinkled face full of tiredness.

This body is really getting worse and worse.

In the dark forest, a frog shuttled through the forest, jumped in front of Jiraiya as fast as lightning, and croaked twice.

Jiraiya knelt down and took out a scroll from the frog's open mouth.

Using the moonlight to examine the text on the scroll, Jiraiya frowned after reading it.

"Still not found?"

This is information sent from the ANBU.

This time he came out to look for Tsunade and brought two teams with a total of eight ANBU members. Each of them was a ninja with extremely strong search capabilities.

But it has been quite a while since I left Konoha. Unfortunately, Tsunade's whereabouts have not been found yet.

Whether it's me or Anbu Yin, it can be said that they have gained nothing.

The only information I got was that a week ago, Tsunade seemed to have appeared in a casino in the Land of Forest, and then disappeared without a trace. She disappeared mysteriously without knowing where she went.

Did he go to Shigu Forest to avoid me? Jiraiya frowned.

Although he could find the location of the wet bone forest through the connection with Mt. Miaomu, it was the territory of Slug Immortal. If Tsunade was determined not to see it, he might not even be able to enter the wet bone forest in the end.

Moreover, he did not think that Tsunade would suddenly go to Shiggy Bone Forest at this time. There was absolutely no need for it.

"It's such a troublesome job that I don't even have time to collect materials."

Jiraiya complained endlessly.

This time point is obviously an important time for me to collect materials in the hot hot springs.

As a result, there was an eerie cold wind blowing in such a place, leaving Jiraiya at a loss for what to do.

Originally, he wanted to end this kind of work as soon as possible, but the traces of Tsunade are really difficult to grasp at the moment, and Jiraiya doesn't know when he will get results if he continues to search like this.

"But, then again, this thing is really strange. This is the first time that Tsunade has disappeared so completely."

Jiraiya's expression became serious, and he suddenly remembered something, touched his chin, and began to think about it.

Although Tsunade would deliberately avoid Konoha's sight in the past, she would not leave no trace behind.

But this time it was different, as if the world had evaporated, and there were no clues to find.

"I hope nothing will happen to her."

Jiraiya looked up at the pale moon above his head, suppressing the deep uneasiness in his heart.
