Chapter 332 The Dream Baku's Spirit Summoning Scroll, Sato's Resolve
"Root Bell? What about Kiku? Did you kill my subordinates?" While Kakashi was feeling disappointed, Ishikawa pretended to be indignant and stared at the disguised Nohara Rin with murderous intent.
That's right, this is the opportunity he gave Nohara Rin to obtain a legitimate identity in the Anbu.
Since Danzo is dead and there's no way to verify anything, there's no better opportunity than now!
"No, I just knocked her unconscious and hid her. Perhaps she's awake by now. I'm sorry, Captain Tanuki." Nohara Rin apologized in a cooperative manner, then put her mask back on and transformed back into her Anbu appearance.
"Is that so? Then you can't leave my sight until you see my subordinates." Ishikawa feigned suspicion and gave a cold snort as a warning before turning to look at Kakashi.
"Teacher, if there's nothing else, I'll go and contract the Dream Eater first. Karin's Adamantine Lock won't be able to control it for long."
"A contracted dream beast?" Kakashi was taken aback. He hadn't expected that Ishikawa had asked Karin to suppress and keep the dream beast because of this.
Seeing that Ishikawa was about to leave, Kakashi suddenly had an idea. "Ahem, if it's about summoning inheritance, I might have a better option."
"A better choice?" Ishikawa turned around, puzzled. Kakashi only had eight ninja dogs and one Oni-Gama that he shared. What better choice could he possibly have?
"I received some information from Orochimaru, and I'd like you to give it a try if possible. Perhaps this is the perfect opportunity to restore the legacy of the Legendary Sannin to Konoha!" Kakashi took a deep breath, his eyes filled with anticipation; this mission was crucial to the future of Konoha.
Moreover, only Ishikawa can truly trust the inheritance of Ryuchi-dong.
"The legacy of the Three Legendary Sannin? Orochimaru!!" A glint flashed in Ishikawa's eyes, his breathing quickened, and his gaze burned with fervor.
Tsunade and Jiraiya's legacy includes Karin and Naruto, and the only one that can make Kakashi say that now is Orochimaru's Ryuchi Cave legacy.
To be fair, Kakashi really is his best teacher. When there are good things, he doesn't consider himself or Sasuke, but gives them directly to his eldest disciple.
In an instant, Ishikawa forgot all his annoyance at being rejected by the three Sannin. If he could form a contract with Ryuchi Cave, who would need Baku...?
"Yes, it's the one you're thinking of. We'll discuss the specifics tomorrow. Your Tanuki Squad's current mission is to monitor the Root base and prevent anyone from sabotaging its facilities."
Danzo said he left the Second Hokage's Notebook at the Root base, which is very important, and he needs Ishikawa to protect it first.
"Yes, Lord Hokage." Ishikawa immediately replied in a businesslike manner, and then teleported to Baku's side.
"Leave your summoning contract if you don't want to die, or else..." Ishikawa didn't hold back and directly threatened Baku, staring at him.
Although he doesn't need it, he must first obtain this inheritance.
"Moo~~" As if unwilling, the Baku stared at Ishikawa with unwavering eyes, as if saying, "If you have the guts, kill me."
"Enough nonsense. I don't believe you'd be loyal to such a treacherous guy as Danzo. You only have one chance. If you refuse, go and join Danzo!" Ishikawa had no intention of arguing with Baku. He drew his White Fang sword, which gleamed with lightning, and prepared to strike.
Although the Dream Eater didn't speak, it was certainly able to understand with the intelligence of a ninja beast.
"Moo~ Ooh~~" Seeing that Ishikawa's murderous aura seemed genuine, a trace of fear flashed in the Baku's eyes. Then, seeing that it was suppressed by the Vajra Seal and unable to release its spiritual power, it hesitated for a moment before opening its mouth and spitting out a contract scroll.
As Ishikawa said, its relationship with Danzo is not that of the Third Hokage and the Monkey King, and it is impossible for it to be buried with Danzo!
"Those who understand the times are wise. Congratulations on making a wise choice." Ishikawa sheathed his longsword, smiled reassuringly, and gestured for Karin to release the Kongo seal.
If the Dream Eater isn't allowed to go back soon, the damage he dealt earlier might have caused it to bleed to death!
With a "bang," almost the instant Karin broke free of the Kongo seal, Baku turned into white smoke and disappeared...
"Come on, follow me to the Root base." Putting away the contract scroll, Ishikawa beckoned to Karin and the other two, as well as Nohara Rin.
Perfect timing, since everyone is away from the Roots, he can also use Shilin's fake identity.
"Phew, it's temporarily over! But I still need to go to the Daimyo's place to explain the situation." After watching Ishikawa and the others leave, Kakashi let out a sigh of relief and gave Hana an apologetic look.
He then formed hand seals and created a shadow clone to go to the Daimyo's side, while his main body went to the Hokage Building.
Meanwhile, as the battle ended, the clan leaders also learned the final outcome.
Aside from Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing of Danzo's death.
In this way, they will no longer have to worry about their family members being targeted by Danzo and having their roots absorbed.
This is the Hokage's office.
"What?! Uchiha Madara!!"
Upon hearing Tsunade's prior explanation, Jiraiya and Sasuke exclaimed in surprise, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.
Itachi's accomplice in the massacre of his clan was none other than the legendary Uchiha Madara.
This information is absolutely terrifying! It's utterly shocking...
"In other words, that guy is very likely in the Akatsuki! This is troublesome, the Akatsuki's goal is to collect the Tailed Beasts. If it really is Uchiha Madara, then he must have some earth-shattering conspiracy." Jiraiya quickly came to his senses and his face became solemn.
"Damn it, that guy..." Sasuke clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, not knowing whether he was referring to Itachi or Madara Uchiha.
"Therefore, we cannot act rashly now. Especially you, Sasuke. I know you want to take revenge on Itachi, but it's best not to go after him before you have absolute strength! Because the enemy you may face is not only Itachi, but also the legendary Uchiha Madara."
Kakashi pushed open the door and entered, his tone heavy. His biggest worry right now was that Sasuke would act impulsively to seek revenge, which would then attract the Akatsuki organization!
The current Konoha is not ready to face Uchiha Madara.
Sasuke wasn't stupid; he knew that if his opponent was Madara Uchiha, it would be impossible for him to take revenge on his own. He gritted his teeth, turned around, his gaze firm and his tone resolute, "Kakashi-sensei, I want to train in more powerful ninjutsu and become stronger."
“Okay, but before that, I have something else for you.” Kakashi strode over to the cabinet by the wall, took out Orochimaru’s Kusanagi sword, and handed it to Sasuke.
“You’re a lot like me and Ishikawa, so you’re best suited to train in Lightning Release and swordsmanship. But I’m very busy right now, so you’ll probably have to train with Ishikawa for a while…”
"Senior brother? I understand." Sasuke nodded emphatically, taking the Kusanagi sword with a blazing fire in his eyes.
Madara Uchiha, is this the third Mangekyou Sharingan Uchiha that Itachi mentioned?
"Damn it! No matter who the enemy is, even if it's Madara Uchiha, I will avenge those innocent clansmen who were killed!!"
“Sasuke, this isn’t just your responsibility. Kakashi and I are also involved…” Junto patted Sasuke on the shoulder, a hint of determination flashing in his gray eyes.
Perhaps, this is the greatest value he brought to this world.
