Nagato did not completely agree with the Masked Man's idea, but he didn't entirely dismiss it either, as he also believed that mutual understanding between people was extremely difficult.
Subsequently, Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan held a discussion, ultimately deciding that the Akatsuki Organization could continue to cooperate with them, but they must always maintain vigilance toward these individuals.
Whether or not to capture Tailed Beasts would also be discussed later.
Speaking of capturing Tailed Beasts, after the Two-Tails Jinchuriki was attacked, the Fourth Raikage was furious and ordered Kumogakure Ninja to investigate the incident.
Uchiha En and Asana had flown over and left no clues, but Kumogakure investigated another matter: the Three-Tails seemed to have been reborn.
Moreover, the place of its rebirth was not in the Land of Water, but in the Land of Waves.
When the Fourth Raikage received this news, his eyes lit up. Could they really just hand over a wild Tailed Beast to Kirigakure?
Thus, the Fourth Raikage immediately dispatched people to the Land of Waves.
Obito, through White Zetsu, also learned about the Three-Tails' rebirth. Since the Fourth Mizukage was currently under their control, if the Three-Tails could be sealed within the Fourth Mizukage's body, the combat power they commanded would increase.
Therefore, Obito also manipulated the Fourth Mizukage to send people to the Land of Waves.
Returning our attention to Konoha Village, the day after Asana and Orochimaru left, Kakashi led the Hokage's direct Anbu unit to seal Orochimaru's laboratory.
Before Orochimaru left, he explained that two of the remaining three children no longer had hope of fusing with the first hokages cells, but their bodies had been modified by the first hokages cells, making their Chakra and vitality far stronger than average people, marking them as excellent candidates to become Ninja.
As for Yamato, he still needed a few months to fully integrate the first hokages cells and completely master Wood Release.
Kakashi's mission was to protect this test subject for these few months and prevent anyone from making contact with him.
At this moment, Danzo was restless, like an ant on a hot pan.
Without a doubt, the person who tipped off the Third and Fourth Hokage about Orochimaru's human experimentation was Danzo.
Danzo's original plan was to make Orochimaru turn against the Village; when the Village sent people to pursue Orochimaru, Danzo could seize the opportunity to transfer control of the Wood Release Ninja into his own hands.
What Danzo didn't expect was that the Third and Fourth Hokage actually suppressed the matter, and Orochimaru didn't turn against the Village either.
Originally, Danzo thought that given Minato Namikaze's personality, he absolutely wouldn't tolerate such a thing happening; even if the Third Hokage wanted to suppress the matter, Minato Namikaze wouldn't agree.
At that point, the two Hokage would be at odds, and Hiruzen Sarutobi would have to divert manpower and energy to hunt down Orochimaru, ensuring the Wood Release Ninja would certainly fall to him.
Yet, Minato Namikaze actually chose to suppress the incident along with the Third Hokage.
"Damn it! Minato Namikaze has only been Hokage for a few days, and he's already learned to compromise!" Danzo slammed the table and cursed fiercely.
"Lord Danzo, we've found many Sandaime Anbu monitoring the area around Root. We are constantly followed when entering or exiting, making some missions difficult to execute," reported a Root Ninja standing beside Danzo.
