  Daichi couldn't believe what he was reading. He went over the skill a couple more times just to be sure he didn't miss anything. "Who the hell would design a skill like this?"

  'Da faq?... Well at least if anyone es close to killihen I be sure that I'll be able to take him with me to the afterlife.'

  Daichi then thought of the skill he acquired after saving Reo. His eyes slightly widened as he recalled the details of that skill. 'It seems this skill is desigo be paired up with that one. Iing…'

  Daichi closed the system messages and id down in his bed. He crossed his arms behind his head and just id there thinking about the year. 'I o plete the sed step of the Fire Nature chakra. I was able to separate the waterfall but it wasn't perfect. I was only able to increase it up to level 64… And I'll o start on mediinjutsu this year. Have to ask the old man if he knows anyone… But I also o keep myself off Kabuto's radar. I definitely 't have him knowing about my abilities…. Oep at a time Daichi. Take oep at a time.'

  The boy let out a long breath and closed his eyes and sooo sleep.

  —-

  Hokage Office.

  An anbu wearing a mask with a bear pattern was standing silently in front of Hiruzen.

  "You took your time Bear! Over a year to iigate a single spy?… Report!"

  At Hokage's and, the Anbu ninja began his report on a certain spy.

  "I was able to identify the spy within the first two weeks of my assig, Lord Hokage. But… the reason it took so long to pile the report is because of his background."

  Hiruzen narrowed his eyes. "Go on."

  "Based on the description we received, I identified the suspect as Kabuto Yakushi. His rank is genin and he works at the hospital as a medija. Nothing out of the ordinary about him. That's the first impression anyone would get when iigating him. "

  "Yakushi?... Where have I heard that name before?" Hiruzen asked himself.

  "Nono Yakushi. She was a Jonin and a medija and was the former captain of the medic corps." The Anbu expined.

  "Ahh yes. Now I remember. She was also part of the foundation and for a while worked undercover for Danzo." Hiruzen said as he recalled the face of the woman.

  "Yes sir. And it seems this Kabuto Yakushi has followed in her footsteps."

  The Hokage raised an eyebrow at that. He didn't realize that Orochimaru's spy also had ties to Danzo. "Tell me everything."

  "When I first iigated Kabuto Yakushi, I found out that he was a child adopted by Nono Yakushi. She was assigo heal the wounded from the battle of the Kikyo Pass and it's said that it was there that she found a young child. She adopted him, gave him the name Kabuto and taught him mediinjutsu… But I ter found out that some of this story is false."

  "Some?"

  "Yes sir. The part about Miss Yakushi finding the child and teag him mediinjutsu was true. But the rest of it is false. During my iigation I learhat Lord Danzo had made tact with Nono when she was running the Leaf Orphanage. I'm not sure how, but Kabuto ended up in Root and they trained him."

  "What?" Hiruzen couldn't believe Orochimaru's spy was a former root agent.

  Bear nodded. "Yes. I surveilled him for weeks and I learhat he is much more than he seems. He knows advanced surveilnd ter surveilactics. Most of the methods he employs… I've only seen one group use those tactics. The Root forces… At that point I established that he had es to the foundation and dug deeper into his history. I had to infiltrate the root archives room. I found out the information here. The foundation trained Kabuto in espionage and he's quite talented. I retraced his steps and paid a visit to the reat nations. I learnt that he infiltrated the Sand, Stone, Cloud, and Mist vilges and posed as one of their shinobi gathering intelligence. An excellent infiltrator. On paper he is a Genin but I estimate that he's at least a high in or Low Jonin level."

  Hiruzen csped his hands as he listened. 'This Kabuto sounds like he could bee a major problem. I'll o hahis carefully.'

  The Anbu tinued. "During one of his infiltration missions ione vilge, he was found out and they pursued him. The person who pursued him was her than Nono Yakushi."

  "What?"

  "It's the truth sir. Turns out Lord Danzo employed Miss Yakushi and fed her false information about Kabuto. vinced her that he was safe and doing something else. Eveed false photographs to make the story believable. The root used both of them as spies and when Lord Danzo deemed them to be too dangerous he assighem on a task that would force them to kill each other."

  The gears in Hiruzen's mind spun. He quickly deduced what had happened. "The mission ione vilge. Danzo told me that the stone vilge found out that Nono y and killed her. But you're telling me…"

  "He lied sir. Acc to the stone vilge records it was an enemy spy that killed Nono. Danzo also sent Orochimaru to kill whoever remaiying up loose ends no doubt. I believe that Kabuto killed Miss Yakushi without realizing her identity and Orochimaru instead of killing Kabuto told him the truth and turned him against us." Bear cluded his report. He gave the Hokage a thick folder taining various dots he copied from the root missions records room and from the reat nations.

  Hiruzen ched his fists as his mihrough all the information he just learned. "I've known Nono since she was a child. She would never have betrayed this vilge. But now we have one of our own ninja allied with a known traitor and w against us… All this mess because of Danzo's paranoia… And not only that, but he also had the gall to lie to me."

  "Sir, there's more…"

  "What is it?"

  "I heard that you ordered Lord Danzo to disband the root, after the whole Uchiha debacle…"

  Hiruzen slightly narrowed his eyes. "I did."

  "It was during this time I was able to infiltrate the root base ahe information I needed. But I learned something else. Lord Danzo has been moving funds and making a new base of operations. I believe he still has a sizable portion of his operatives w for him. Not only that, I learhat he made tact with Orochimaru."

  "What?! Bear, are you sure about this information? You o be 100% accurate before you make accusations like that."

  "I didn't want to believe it myself but it's the truth sir. It was shortly after the Uchiha massacre."

  The aging kage ched his fists as he heard his ninja. Bear was one of his most trusted and loyal Anbu. So Hiruzen didn't doubt his words. 'Danzo! It seems I've been far too le with you… Not only did you go behind my bad force Itachi to kill his but now you're disobeying my direct orders… If he's lied to me about Nono's death then what else has he lied about?'

  Hiruzen gritted his teeth and killing i slowly started to roll off him… The kage had dismissed his 3 personal Jonin guards but there were still another 2 Anbu hidden in the room. They along with Bear felt the murderous i rising from heir leader.

  Bear looked at the Hokage and slightly trembled. 'He's pissed… I do not want to be Danzht now.'

  After a short while Hiruzen took several deep breaths and calmed down. 'So you pn on colluding with a traitor behind my back huh. I o loolerate you Danzo… It was my ina that led to Orochimaru's escape. And now he's one of the biggest threats to the vilge. If I let my emotions rule me again and do nothing then Danzo might bee just as much of a problem if not more… I knew he always wao be Hokage but… To think he would do something like this… He's tried to kill me before and I have a feeling he'll try again… I won't give you a sed ce for that.'

  Hiruzen made a resolute decision. "Deer, Snow." He called out.

  2 Anbu appeared out of the shadows. "Yes sir."

  "You two along with Bear are my most loyal, capable and some of the best ninjas at infiltration, surveilnd interrogation. Only you three plete the missions I'm about to give now."

  The three stood in attention and in silence. "Bear. I need you to infiltrate the root forces. But make sure not to get branded by Danzo's curse seal. I he identities of his operatives, his resources and the in of his funds. Every anization needs moo fun and the root is no different… I don't o say this to you but make sure to have a backup pn in case you are promised. The vilge 't afford to lose someoh your talents. Not iate it currently is."

  "I uand Lord Hokage."

  Hiruzen nodded and turo the Anbu referred to as Deer.

  "I need you to keep an eye on Kabuto Yakushi. You've heard what he's capable of. Make sure he doesn't notice you. I o know everything about him. From his friends to tacts to his favorite foods and right down to his breathing habits. Is that clear?"

  "Yes sir.!"

  Hiruzeuro the st one. "Snow. If Danzo has disobeyed my orders and Root is still active then he most likely would have operatives hidden amongst the Anbu, Jonin and in forces. I need you to iigate all of them and find out the identities of Danzo's men. Such a task will take time. Take as much as you need, but be careful ahh."

  "Uood sir."

  Hiruzen then addressed the three of them. "Now all of you listen carefully. If one of you gets caught by the ehen the ces of the other two getting caught increases dramatically. Orochimaru, Kabuto and Danzo are like the three ends of a triangle. All ected. If one of you gets promised then they will know I'm the one behind it. And while Orochimaru and Kabuto won't make any direct or rash moves against me, I'm not sure that would be the case for Danzo. If he attacks me or in the event I somehow die, make sure that the Hokage would have all the relevant information needed. Assuming the one isn't Danzo."

  The eyes of the three ninjas widened as they listeo the sario described by their leader.

  Anbu agent Snow spoke up. "Sir, if you're that worried about him then why don't we take him into custht now. I'm sure Ibiki and Inoichi find out everything in his head."

  Hiruzen shook his head. "It's not that simple. Danzo has acquaintances in several high pces in and out of the vilge. Including the Daimyo court. If we rashly move against him, then…"

  "Sir, are you saying there would be a civil war within the vilge if we arrest him?" Bear excimed in shock.

  Hiruzen sighed and didn't say anything but that silence was enough of an answer for the three Anbu ninjas.

  "Now you three know the gravity of the situation. Make sure you're all careful. Go!"

  The three masked ninjas bowed and disappeared from Hiruzen's view. He stood from his chair and walked to take in the view of the vilge as he always does when he has troubling thoughts.

  'With those three I take trol of my internal forces and wheime es strip Danzo's resources pletely. But it's not enough. I o deal with the allies he has outside… And I know just the person to do it… It seems you might have your revenge on Danzo after all… Kensei.'
