When Shisui heard the news that Uchiha Ryota dared to attack Hyuga Hizashi, he was shocked.
In the eyes of the Konoha shinobi generals the two clans were noble and honorable, but they also knew that the Uchiha Clan was stronger than Hyuga, either in terms of strength or fame.
However only Uchiha Shisui who knew the true power of Kuroto understood that with the presence of Kuroto-san, the Hyuga Clan was undoubtedly superior to the Uchiha Clan.
Therefore, he was a little panicked when he heard that Hyuga Hizashi was attacked by Uchiha Ryota, he could not imagine what the consequences would be if Ryota actually killed Hyuga Hizashi.
When Shisui meets with Kuroto, she apologizes, again and again, to make sure that Kuroto-san ignores Ryota's courage this time.
Kuroto waved her hand and said, “Forget it, this time, I was a bit negligent. With a temperament like that of Uchiha Ryota, I should have considered that she would take brash action if stimulated.”
Shisui was a little sad.
He even began to consider whether the sacrifice of Uchiha Hideki alone was enough to save the Uchiha Clan from their predicament.
However, it seemed like he was too hopeful, Uchiha Ryota not only made trouble for the clan with the Hokage faction through his actions, but he even dared to provoke the Hyuga Clan, instead, therefore Shisui could not help but think that the extremists really had to be purged because it was too dangerous for the clan!
After making up his mind, Shisui said, “Kuroto-san, when are we going to kidnap Uchiha Ryota?”
Kuroto glanced at Shisui with a smile, “Heh, I thought you were still hesitant for a while?”
Shisui couldn't help but smile bitterly, “The plan has progressed to this point, and Uchiha Ryota is doing more harm to the clan than good, so it's better to continue.”
Kuroto nodded and did not tease Shisui anymore, after pondering a bit he said, “You should investigate the movements of Uchiha Ryota to look for possible opportunities when we have a suitable window, we can take quick action.”
Shisui nodded and the two parted ways.
…
Temporary Prison.
Tap…
The sudden knock on the door blew Shimura Danzo's mind, remembering himself he said,
“Log.”
Followed by the command, Root Anbu broke into Shimura Danzo's office and gave the document file.
“Danzo-sama, this document contains all the intelligence information we obtained so far.”
Danzo reached out her hand to retrieve the document file while asking, “Did Amatsukami's base camp have been tortured?”
Ninja root shook his head, “Please forgive Danzo-sama's subordinates, until now we have not obtained any valid information about Amatsukami, no matter how much torture people do, no matter how much thought reading is done, no one knows anything! They... they are completely unaware of any information related to Amatsukami!”
Crush... Crack…!
Danzo threw the document file onto the wooden table and smacked his fist on it while talking furiously, “They know nothing? Then what documents did you give me? Do you want me to plan my next move using this trash!!?”
“Akatsuki Organization..?” – Hearing these words, Danzo's gaze became grim, taking the document file from the table, she read the contents and she was shocked!
“Orochimaru, Uchiha Shinichi, Hiruko, Shinno, Biwa Juzo, Sasori, Kakuzu.. Nin these damn S-Class defectors from all villages have joined Akatsuki, what do they want to do?!”
Looking at the long list of names he is quite familiar with, Danzo's anger came out of the charts.
Akatsuki is different from Amatsukami, where Kuroto has made sure to disguise his identity using a mask, a robe, removing body odor, etc.
When the Akatsuki members acted, they all showed their true colors and acted without hesitation, therefore, when Konoha began this full-scale hunting operation, throughout the Land of Fire… information about so many S-class escape ninjas being part of Akatsuki is soon revealed.
Kuroto secretly uses Konoha's intelligence network when he acts as ‘Yama’ or ‘Suijin’ and most of the time, he uses Tenseigan's Chakra Mode to travel from one location to another, therefore he did not interact much with irrelevant people.
For this reason, even if he had completed many missions in the Black Market Circle as ‘Yama’ and ‘Suijin’, the only people who had seen him were his targets or Bounty bosses.
Akatsuki members are different, most of the time, they travel on foot, using their own intelligence network or from the Dark Market Circle, whether it be food, lodging, or intelligence gathering, they relate to all sorts of people, for that reason, intelligence about ‘Who are they?’ and ‘for whom do they work?’ the inevitable leak.
Laying the file with a grim look, Danzo inevitably thought, ‘It seems that the previous rumors were indeed true!’
Not long ago, there was a rumor about Orochimaru, and Uchiha Shinichi joined the mercenary organization in the Black Market Circle, but no one including Shimura Danzo believes such ridiculous nonsense.
And that was natural because, in the eyes of Sandaime, Danzo, and the others, a ninja of Orochimaru level would never bother to join a mercenary organization unless they had a special love for money, that clearly did not apply to both Orochimaru and Uchiha Shinichi.
Although, the four older members of the advisory board are unsure about Orochimaru, however, the, in regards to Uchiha Shinichi they all initially believed that he had defected to Kumogakure therefore they doubted whether the rumor was deliberately spread by Kumo.
But now that he has read this file, Danzo realizes that the rumor is not wrong.
Inevitably Danzo was troubled at the thought of so many defector ninja Konoha hid in Akatsuki.
Moreover, they all have behind-the-scenes stories with Shimura Danzo, therefore, Danzo feels that Akatsuki poses a much greater threat to Konoha compared to Amatsukami.
After a long silence, Danzo asked, “Is there no information about the current leader of Akatsuki?”
The kneeling Root Anbu quickly replied, “The current leader of Akatsuki is also very mysterious, and it seems like other than the official members of Akatsuki, no one knows much about him, either, he also never appeared in the shinobi world, so we can't torture any information about him.”
Hearing this Danzo nodded in understanding and ordered in an unquestionable tone, “Continue gathering intelligence information, I also want all the information about the Akatsuki Organization!”
“Ya, Danzo-sama!” – The Root Anbu nodded respectfully and left the office.
At this time, Danzo again retrieved the file recording Akatsuki's intelligence and muttered to herself, “Akatsuki, Amatsukami.... what exactly do they want to do?”
Suddenly, another Anbu root appeared in the office and reported, “Danzo-sama, we just obtained a piece of intelligence which he said, Amatsukami and Akatsuki are in a hostile relationship. The report even said that there was a fierce conflict between them!”
