Chapter 701 Breakthrough

After a brief discussion, Minato finally did not agree to Hiruzen's proposal to 'drive away' the Kirigakure's envoys from Konoha.

This makes Hiruzen, who has been dealing with all kinds of things with the overall situation in mind, quite uneasy, for fear that there will be an irreparable accident.

Minato saw Hiruzen's concerns, and immediately decided to let Eagle send a team of Shinobi to the Ichigo hot spring inn. This way, it can prevent Kirigakure's envoys from being humiliated and fight back, but also make the relatives, who are doing the sit-in demonstrates, not do any excessive behavior, which is good for both parties.

But this just treats the symptoms rather than the root cause.

In front of Minato and the others, there is only one way, which is to find the ten Root's Shinobi hidden in the village!

Minato looked at Kanpū, and then looked at 'Kanpū'. For a while, he couldn't tell who was Kanpū and Shisui, so he looked at the position between the two and asked, "Is there any clues from Amu?"

'Kanpū' stepped forward decisively and said: "The target attacked eight villagers during the day. In the evening, he returned home as an ordinary villager and went to the wet market to buy seaweed, cabbage, tofu, and a fish. He then went home to cook and fell asleep shortly after eating. No abnormalities were found for the time being."

These are the 'precious' information obtained by White Zetsu's clone, Amu, who followed closely,

Eagle looked at 'Kanpū' in surprise, 'He even knew what kind of dishes he bought. Isn't this tracking too close?'

'If discovered, all our previous efforts will be wasted.'

Eagle glanced at Minato and saw that he didn't say anything, so he could only swallow the words that came to his mouth.

"Going to the wet market to buy vegetables?" Shikaku touched the chin and pondered.

Kanpū, who was next to him, saw Shikaku's expression as if he turned into the famous Detective Conan, so he used his brains, immediately thought of a possibility, and quickly beat him to it and said: "Could it be that they pass on information in the wet market?"

Although there are many people in the wet market, it is precisely because of this that it is less likely to be noticed and suspected.

Shikaku glanced at Kanpū, then turned to Eagle and said: "Eagle, investigate that female relative immediately!"

Eagle was taken aback, then quickly realized and said: "Do you suspect that the female relative has also been to the wet market?"

"Eagle, as soon as possible!" Minato looked shocked. If Kanpū and Shikaku's reasoning is correct, then Root's contact method will be completely exposed under their noses!

In this way, will the identity of the remaining nine Root's Shinobi still a problem?

Hearing the order, Eagle immediately left the small conference room.

Half an hour later.

Eagle walked in with all the information about the female relative.

"How is it?" Minato asked nervously.

Eagle shook his head and said in a strange tone: "The female patient has only been in the hospital and at home these past few days, and she has never been to the wet market. As for her husband… he has been dead for several years."

Kanpū's face twisted: 'It's wrong?

Minato, Shikaku, Hiruzen and 'Kanpū' all had dark expressions on their faces.

"But…" Eagle add.

Minato was startled and his face turned blue: "Eagle!!"

"Cough."

Eagle coughed dryly and said hurriedly, "I found out that this female relative has several cousins, and one of them happened to be selling fish in the wet market."

"Selling fish?"

Kanpū has a good memory, turned to look towards his own 'shadow clone', and said, "Didn't you say that Root's Shinobi also buy a fish in the evening?"

'Kanpū' nodded: "Yes, that fish shop…"

Eagle and 'Kanpū' said a name at the same time.

"Finally found it!"

Minato looked at 'Kanpū' with a smile and said, "Tell Amu to keep an eye on this fish shop!"

" Yes!" 'Kanpū' nodded in respond.

…

Outside the entrance of Ichigo hot spring inn.

Nearly a hundred relatives of the patients sat there quietly to demonstrate, and on the periphery, there are already dozens of onlookers, pointing at Ichigo hot spring. Most of the content was accusing Kirigakure's Shinobi, and at the same time, earnestly hoped that Yondaime could clean up this group of Kirigakure's Shinobi as soon as possible.

About nine o'clock, seven or eight ninjas dressed in Anbu attire came from a distance and stood scattered around the Ichigo hot spring inn, then they melted into the darkness and disappeared from the eyes of ordinary villagers.

"It's really interesting."

Not far away, the transformed Orochimaru leaned against the wall and looked at this scene with a sneer.

'Konoha, Kirigakure's envoys, the death of Yondaime Mizukage, the disappearance of Sanbi, a strange disease of unknown cause, as well as Abyss, Minato, Gekko Kanpū… Hehehe, yes, I almost forgot my old friend, Shimura Danzo.'

Orochimaru smelled a familiar smell!

'It's getting more and more interesting here!'

Taki, who is wearing big sunglasses, stood next to Orochimaru, squinting and asked: "What's the point? You are not thinking of killing these villagers, and then threw the blame Kirigakure to provoke a war between the two countries, right?"

Orochimaru turned to look at Taki, his eyes were inexplicably bright, and he asked with a smile: "Is that bad?"

"This is Konoha."

Taki rolled his eyes, but thinking that he was wearing sunglasses, Orochimaru might not be able to see it, so he added a cold snort before continuing, "Minato and Gekko Kanpū have both mastered Space-Time Ninjutsu. Are you sure you can escape from them?"

Orochimaru chuckled and said: "I am just a clone like you."

The corner of Taki's mouth twitched: 'This snake is really…'

'What's wrong with clone?'

'Is clone not human?'

'Can't clone live well?'

"Just kidding."

Orochimaru shrugged, then turned and left.

Rather than killing these ordinary people, he wants to confirm whether Sanbi's Jinchuriki is in Konoha more!

"Hey, where are you going?" Taki took two quick steps to follow after him.

"Go to the Anbu's Headquarters to take a look." Orochimaru paused, turned his head slightly to look at Taki, and asked with a half-smile, "Taki, you will help me."

"Why are you going to the Anbu's Headquarters?"

Taki was startled in his heart. It must be known that Sanbi and Yonbi's Jinchuriki are all at the bottom of the Anbu's Headquarters. If Orochimaru finds out…

'Then things would be very serious.'

"You don't seem to want to help…" Orochimaru grinned and his mouth formed a strange arc.

"Help, why don't I help? We are all in the same organization. If I don't help you, who will?" Taki patted his big muscles and said domineeringly.

"Hehe…"

The smile on Orochimaru's face became even more weirder. "But you promised so readily, making me more and more suspicious of you."

"What are you suspicious of?" Taki pretended to be stupid.

"Nothing."

Orochimaru turned around and continued walking, while his mouth moved slightly, "White Zetsu, you should know the location of Konoha's Anbu's Headquarters."

"Of course." A proud voice came from the darkness, but then he became a little angry again, "Hey! Don't talk to me, I will be discovered!"

"Go and have a look at the Anbu's Headquarters, White Zetsu." Orochimaru said.

"Look at what?" The White Zetsu's clone said with a dissatisfied snort.

"Look… if there are any loopholes." Orochimaru said as he walked, and his figure slowly melted into the darkness.
