(T/N: Another missing story. And it's already the last two chapters. I don't know how this will end.)
This is why Hiruzen had Kakashi and Yamato help teach Naruto.
After all, Naruto is the crucial Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki.
[Returning home, only Yugito is there. Kurenai is out on a mission and hasn't returned yet.]
[The next day, you go to the Hokage's Office, hoping to learn more information from Hiruzen.]
[But Hiruzen also doesn't know the whereabouts of the Four-Tails' Jinchuriki, Roshi.]
[The third day, still nothing happens, and no leads are found.]
[The fourth day, nothing happens.]
[The fifth day, nothing happens.]
[The sixth day...]
[On the eighth day, some changes occur.]
[Since leaving, Konan finally returns to Konoha to 'monitor' you.]
[You immediately question Konan about her recent activities and get the answer you wanted.]
[Two days ago, the Akatsuki successfully captured the Four-Tails from Roshi and successfully sealed the Tailed Beast within the Outer Path Statue.]
[At the same time, Konan brings the answer she didn't give you last time she left.]
[Konan confesses to you, telling Nagato everything you told her.]
[And she makes a request: Nagato wants to meet in person.]
'I didn't expect things to turn out like this.'
Takumi narrowed his eyes.
He needed to consider whether this might be a trap.
He wasn't worried about Konan deceiving him.
He was worried that Nagato might be using Konan, which is why he made this request.
After all, in his view, Nagato had fallen into a state of paranoia, stopping at nothing to achieve Yahiko's ideals.
Under these circumstances, although Konan was the person he trusted most,
With the betrayal of the previous two guys, he would certainly find the information she suddenly brought up suspicious, and might even think Konan had also betrayed him.
Therefore, the possibility of Nagato simply turning the tables also existed.
However, it wasn't absolute. Perhaps Nagato might have awoken and planned to cooperate with him.
'It's worth checking out. There's no loss anyway.'
Takumi rubbed his chin thoughtfully. 'Even if Nagato uses Konan, I can still bring Konan back safely.'
[After some consideration, you agree to Nagato's request and suggest meeting immediately.]
[Konan agrees and then takes you to the Land of Rain.]
[Avoiding all surveillance, following a top-secret hidden path, Konan leads you to an absolutely concealed room.]
[The moment you step into the room, your escape route is blocked by a thick steel door.]
[Waiting in the room is not Nagato, but the Six Paths of Pain.]
[You realize this is indeed a trap aimed at you. You turn to look at Konan and find her also very shocked, as if this was beyond her expectations.]
[You immediately activate your Complete Body Susano'o, fully deploy your Armament Haki, and use your fierce power to destroy this sturdy room and escape.]
[As you prepare to leave with Konan, you discover that Obito has appeared and is restraining Konan.]
[Although filled with reluctance, you don't yet have the confidence to fight both Obito and Nagato at the same time.]
[And you think Nagato won't do anything to Konan; at most, he'll imprison her.]
[So, you quickly leave, but you don't go too far. Instead, you hide yourself, looking for an opportunity to rescue Konan.]
[After lying in wait for a day, Konan, as you predicted, is only imprisoned.]
[Finding the right opportunity, you successfully rescue Konan and directly return to Konoha.]
[Simulation ends!]
'These next few days are really going to be quite lively.'
Takumi raised an eyebrow. Although this situation was within his considerations,
He didn't expect Nagato to be so paranoid that he couldn't even trust Konan.
Fortunately, Konan wasn't in danger afterwards.
And now that he knew in advance, he would naturally have more preparations.
Then, when Nagato revealed his true intentions, he could take Konan away immediately.
At least that way, Konan could stay by his side.
'Two days before the eighth day, meaning the sixth day?'
Takumi calculated the time when Roshi was captured and silently noted it.
It was still early. When the time came, he would just go directly to search.
Wherever there were traces of a large-scale battle, the probability of finding Roshi would be higher.
But unfortunately, the spy he had planted in the Akatsuki would probably be completely exposed now.
'Wait, who went to capture Roshi this time?'
Takumi suddenly frowned.
He had another plan in mind.
But this would require going to the site in six days to confirm.
'Never mind, I won't think about it now. There are still six days anyway.'
Takumi shook his head, put away the scroll on the table, and placed it on the bookshelf.
Then he went out for a stroll.
He looked to his right.
Judging from the simulation results, walking this way, he wouldn't meet anyone; it would just waste some time.
Maybe he should turn in another direction; he might run into some acquaintances.
Even if he didn't meet anyone, he could sit for a while at Sasori's hair salon.
Of course, it would be best not to be discovered.
Otherwise, the hair salon would be surrounded again.
Opportunities to encounter Takumi weren't exactly numerous, but they weren't few either.
So on the streets, although people greeted him, they no longer had that initial fanaticism.
Except for a few fanatical fans.
But it was different at the hair salon.
After all, chances to have Takumi personally arrange one's hair were rare.
Once someone discovered he was at Sasori's hair salon, within a minute, the entire place would certainly be surrounded by a large crowd.
He had already experienced this a few times.
He didn't want to go through it again.
Just thinking about it made Takumi shudder involuntarily.
That scene was just too scary.
'Huh? I didn't expect to run into this old guy.'
A flicker of disgust passed through Takumi's eyes.
He was strolling on the street, hoping to meet some acquaintances.
Like cute girls such as Ino, Hinata, Sakura, and so on.
But the guy walking towards him definitely didn't count.
In fact, he even made him feel nauseated.
Not psychologically, but physically.
The person walking towards him was clearly Danzo, wrapped in bandages.
He walked slowly, leaning on his cane.
When he saw Takumi, his body visibly trembled.
It was obvious that Danzo was also surprised to encounter Takumi.
Clearly, this was not a deliberately arranged encounter, but a truly accidental one.
Suddenly, a smile curled on the corner of Takumi's mouth.
After all, they were on the street, the weather was bright, and there were quite a few people around.
'If at this moment...'
Seeing Takumi's smile, Danzo instinctively sensed something was wrong.
He immediately turned to leave Takumi's line of sight.
But it was too late.
Those memories he had already forgotten came knocking again, that familiar yet utterly disgusting feeling emerged once more.
And very coincidentally, there was a public toilet not far away.
So, the famous Darkness of the Shinobi World of Konoha was seen sprinting a hundred meters and rushing in without hesitation.
"Ahhh!"
"There's a pervert!"
"Help!"
Accompanied by many sharp shouts, more and more people gathered around the public toilet.
Many people saw Danzo rushing into the women's restroom and began explaining to those who didn't know.
"I didn't expect Danzo-sama to have this kind of hobby."
"I thought it was just a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true."
"Danzo-sama, he actually eats shit?!"
"Eating shit? I thought he went to the women's restroom..."
"Damn it! Going into that sacred place just to eat shit, that Danzo bastard is wasting a great opportunity!"
"I didn't expect you to have such ambitions! In that case, why don't we discuss it?"
"Hehehe..."
Many people were discussing animatedly.
Takumi was very satisfied with this.
Now it wouldn't be easy for Danzo to restore his reputation.
Everyone had seen his actions with their own eyes.
Even if forced by the situation, they didn't dare speak openly about it,
But everyone definitely had their own opinions of Danzo in their hearts.
