————————————————————-

If they are going to restrict me, why should I even attend the meeting? You all can sort it out yourselves. Don’t call me for such “great” things.

Thus, Kazuki outright refused.

Fugaku knew this was Kazuki expressing his dissatisfaction with being restricted.

After Fugaku left, Izumi curiously approached.

“Captain, why aren’t you attending such an important meeting? The clan leader has already asked you to.”

To others, this might seem like a good thing because it meant gaining the clan leader’s attention.

But to Kazuki, it was worth nothing.

“Attend what?”

Kazuki said irritably:

“The so-called meeting is just the elders and the clan leader arguing non-stop. I think you need to compromise, and I think you should strip me of my rights. Arguing endlessly without results.”

“Once they get angry, they say you don’t respect the elders or the clan.”

Since the incident with the Sixth Elder, the clan elders have been wary of Kazuki, afraid he might do something to them someday. Not only would it be embarrassing, but their old bones might not handle it.

The most important thing is they don’t want Kazuki to break the rules.

If the problem can be solved by talking, why resort to violence?

They already set a precedent. If Kazuki continues, how will the younger generation respect them in the future?

If they face difficulties, will they just activate their Sharingan and use genjutsu?

“This… haha.”

Izumi laughed awkwardly, at a loss for words.

Because her captain really had done such things before, no wonder the elders were always worried he might act out.

“What’s the matter? Are you very curious? How much of your learning tasks have you completed? Let’s go to the training ground and check.”

“…”

’I didn’t say anything.’

Izumi quickly withdrew and left, closing the door behind her.

Although she had been working hard, there was still a long way to go to meet Kazuki’s standards, especially in the area of genjutsu.

Fortunately, Izumi wasn’t someone who gave up easily, otherwise, Kazuki’s criticism would have made her retreat into herself.

The reorganization of the Police Department was thus stalled, with the elders unwilling to compromise, and Fugaku unable to assert enough pressure to force them.

Meanwhile, Danzo’s plot to assassinate the Daimyo was escalating.

After receiving criticism from various villages, even the Daimyo of different countries stood up, jointly demanding a reasonable explanation from the Third Hokage.

Such matters could not be taken lightly by the Daimyo.

No matter what, even if the war reached the village, the Daimyo must not be touched. That was the bottom line.

Now, Danzo had stepped on this line, making the Daimyo very nervous.

What if this was a bad precedent? If Danzo started it, what if other villages dissatisfied with their Daimyo followed suit?

The Daimyo of the Land of Wind was particularly startled. It was well known that he had a notoriously bad attitude towards the Sand Village.

If he pushed the Sand Village too far, what if they targeted him too?

So the Daimyo of the Land of Wind began to contact the Daimyo of other countries to jointly target Konoha.

A weary ANBU squad returned to Konoha and immediately went to see the Third Hokage.

After returning from the Daimyo’s residence, the Third Hokage felt something was wrong. How did the Daimyo get such detailed intelligence?

The information was so detailed that it even described Root, a very secretive department, clearly.

The intelligence must have been leaked by someone within.

Among the five major ninja villages, the existence of certain special departments is not a secret. For example, Root in Konoha, or the hunter-nin in the Mist Village. These special departments, though unknown to outsiders, are well known within the five major villages.

Other villages knew Konoha had a Root department, but the details and scale were unknown.

The fact that Root’s detailed information was clearly recorded already indicated the problem.

So the Third Hokage sent an ANBU team to investigate the matter thoroughly.

The person responsible for this was Kakashi, someone the Third Hokage trusted greatly.

“Hokage-sama.”

In the office, Kakashi knelt on one knee, carefully reporting the results of the team’s investigation.

“Through investigation at the Daimyo, the source of the intelligence was traced back to a bounty house. It was confirmed that the information came from there, and the bounty house has already sold a lot of this information. The specific buyers are hard to trace.”

A bounty station.

The Third Hokage frowned deeply and asked, “Did you find out any information about the seller?”

“The seller’s identity was disguised, and even the people at the bounty station couldn’t confirm who it was.”

Kakashi lowered his head, not for lack of effort, but because it was impossible to track.

The other party was too cunning.

They deliberately chose a bounty station on the Fire Country border to sell the information. This bounty station, due to its remote location, had few visitors. A small branch wouldn’t dare provoke seemingly fierce customers.

Whoever sold the information naturally couldn’t be traced.

Unless Kakashi had the ability to travel through time.

“Hokage-sama, I suspect that the person selling the information must be from the village and holds a high position.”

Ordinary people wouldn’t even know about Root, let alone sell its intelligence.

Knowing the detailed information about Root already explains the problem.

The mole is in the village and holds a high position.

“It can’t be them.”

The Third Hokage’s face, beginning to show age spots, was uncertain. Despite saying it couldn’t be them, he was already starting to doubt.

And his main suspects were his old partners.

Danzo wouldn’t do something so foolish as to dig his own grave, so he could be ruled out. Besides Danzo, the only ones left were the two advisory elders, the retired Akimichi Torifu, and Shinnosuke, who held an important position in the ANBU.

Danzo had little suspicion.

Unless he was crazy, Koharu and Homura also had no reason to do such a thing.

Could it be Shinnosuke?

Thinking this, the Third Hokage shuddered and shook his head repeatedly. That was his son.

If Kazuki knew the Third Hokage was even suspecting his own son to catch a mole, he would probably laugh to death.

The others had little motivation to betray the village, so Akimichi Torifu was also unlikely. Unless he was unhappy being away from the center of power and decided to backstab.

Power-hungry people are often paranoid.

The Third Hokage was no exception. At this moment, he kept guessing and doubting who had betrayed the village and sold the important intelligence.

“Thank you for your hard work, Kakashi, but you can’t rest yet. I need you to lead a team to infiltrate the Daimyo’s residence.”

“Hokage-sama, you mean…”

Kakashi was stunned, his eyes full of astonishment and disbelief.
