During the Third Hokage's reign, he performed conscientiously. Although he had occasional flaws, in general, he was a very good medical ninja.

It wasn't until the Fifth Hokage came to power and his position was promoted to the deputy director of Konoha that his power and prestige in the medical department began to increase.

"Where did this part of the information that was cut out go?"

Takegen turned back to the previous page and asked the two root ninjas.

"I'm sorry, Lord Togen, this was already the case when we got this information."

The two lowered their heads and answered.

"Can't you find the missing part?"

Get to the root and continue to ask.

"Yes, regarding this part of the lost information, I heard that the ANBU seems to have found no clues. We have also inquired with the intelligence department, and this part of the information was deleted more than ten years ago."

"Delete? Who?"

"The Third Hokage."

"..."

Takegen frowned.

With so much information deleted, it stands to reason that he should be one of the seriously suspicious persons.

However, during his tenure as the Third Hokage, he knew that Asami Masumi was one of the Third Hokage's valued confidants and was highly regarded by the Third Hokage.

This also means that the Third Hokage himself trusts Asami Masumi very much and regards him as a senior cadre of his faction.

So, why should part of her resume be deleted?

Although the Third Hokage himself has passed away, many problems he left behind still trouble many people.

For example, the Sarutobi clan.

"Do a little research on her."

Take the root and issued this order.

However, the two root ninjas looked at each other, a little embarrassed.

"What's wrong?"

"Sir Togen, Vice President Asami's anti-tracking ability is very strong. The people we sent to track her before were all knocked unconscious by her without knowing it. Her strength is probably at least the level of a squad leader.

of."

There are not many ninjas of this level in the entire Konoha, and all of them are elite jounin who are highly valued by the upper class.

If you want to track these jounin silently, unless you are a ninja with special tracking ability, it will be difficult to get close to them.

Moreover, because of their reckless actions, they have aroused the other party's vigilance.

The other party now has a close relationship with the Fifth Hokage. If the root of following her is leaked, it must be to protect the safety of her subordinates. As the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade cannot remain indifferent.

I took the root and rubbed the center of my eyebrows, feeling a headache.

He had forgotten this.

Maybe the medical ninjas give people the impression that they are weak.

But Masumi Asami is a medical ninja of the same type as Tsunade. While they possess superb medical ninjutsu, they are also female ninjas who value their own combat abilities.

There are very few such ninjas, not to mention among women, even among men.

"In that case, I will look for candidates myself. You continue to investigate other suspicious people."

Now Danzo is behind bars, therefore, as Danzo's trusted confidant, he has the power to make his own decisions to a certain extent.

In his opinion, Asami Masumi was very suspicious, and he felt uneasy if he did not investigate the other party's details clearly.

"yes."

The two root ninjas nodded in agreement.

◎

The mental health personnel training project is being established.

With Tsunade's order, the establishment of this project went more smoothly than imagined and did not encounter much resistance.

The only problem is how to train the relevant personnel and how much initial investment is required.

After a busy day, Asami Masumi returned directly to her home after get off work in the evening as usual.

After working all day, her face showed a lot of tiredness.

Since the director of the hospital is not very involved, most decisions are implemented through her as the deputy director.

Although it has increased her authority, it also makes her affairs more onerous than before.

Not only that, she now has to deal with some rats who are secretly watching her schedule.

Is it Gen's guy again? His ghost is really lingering. Asami Masumi thought unpleasantly in her heart.

Although they knew that the Roots had not actually lost much power after Danzo's collapse, they used the remaining strongholds to hide their whereabouts again, dormant under the water as they had in the past.

But, what's a medical ninja doing to stare at her now?

Did you find something? Asami Masumi thought.

However, she quickly abandoned this idea.

If they really found something, based on their style, they would not just follow her, but treat her as a dangerous person and execute her secretly.

Asami Masumi has always been very clear about the style of this organization.

The only direct participant in Nebe at that time was Ryoma Aburame, who died a few years ago... Thinking of this, Asami Masumi became even more certain that Nebe's behavior of following her was only at the initial suspicion stage, and she was far from being regarded as a dangerous person.

Let’s look at it.

It was probably because of the Third Hokage's act of erasing part of her resume that these hyenas smelled something.

It's a pity that the original insiders are either dead, or have left Konoha, or they don't know much about it... What's more, what if they find out everything?

It's just that he would choose to hide it, it's impossible to let her know even the slightest bit of the content, and then continue to let her work for the village.

When she is no longer of use, find an excuse to get rid of her casually.

When he thought of this, a dark emotion brewed in Asami Masumi's eyes, but he soon regained his composure.

——In a dark corner.

A short boy with a mask on his face.

He held an open scroll and a pen in his hand, and his eyes glowed brightly in the darkness.

Soon, the brows under his mask frowned.

The 'scouts' he sent out lost their response and were lost?

Just when he stood up to take a look at the situation, a voice suddenly appeared from behind:

"Dark little mouse, is that you?"

The masked boy was startled, turned around quickly, stepped back, and at the same time quickly drew on the open scroll with his pen.

The tiger, as black as an ink painting, let out a roaring roar and charged into the darkness with its fangs and claws.

Without hesitation, the moment the ink tiger rushed into the darkness, the masked boy started running without looking back.

He knew that he had been discovered.

Moreover, with his own strength, he cannot be his opponent.

We must retreat here.

The ink tiger made a whining sound, and then turned into black juice, splattering on the surrounding walls and ground, like blood.

Asami Masumi didn't pay attention to the masked boy who escaped, but took a look at the black liquid on the wall and ground with interest.

"Ink... a very interesting ninjutsu. The root is to find ninjas with some weird abilities."

Not only that, but this time she was looking for an underage ninja to follow her.

The reason is probably because of this secret technique of using ink.

If she hadn't had the ability to perceive, she might not have been able to detect the fact that she was being followed.

In the distance, the masked boy ran away quickly, heading back to the base.

While running towards the stronghold, he looked back behind him and found that no one was pursuing him.

Dumped her?

Just when he was thinking this, a strong wind suddenly hit him.

He did not hesitate, lowered his head slightly, dodged the attack, and quickly moved his body to the side.

He looked forward, but there was no one in front of him.

Where is it? The masked boy's eyes scanned around, trying to find the enemy.
