Chapter 164 Cooperation
Chapter 164 Cooperation
Early in the morning, when Mo opened the door, she saw that Yakushi Kabuto and Yakushi Nonou had already packed their things and were waiting for her.
She glanced at them without saying a word, walked to their side, placed her hand on their shoulder, and used the 'Flying Thunder God Technique' to directly reach the border of the Land of Earth.
Even if she went further, she wouldn't have enough chakra, but this greatly increased her travel time.
Mo released his grip and said coldly, "Let's go!"
Ever since Minato Namikaze fell into a coma, no Konoha ninja has learned this ninjutsu. Last night they had some doubts, but now they are certain that the person in front of them is using the 'Flying Thunder God Technique'.
No wonder Danzo sent them to pick them up; their safety is much higher now. I guess the people in Iwagakure haven't even realized what's happening yet.
And that was indeed the case. Apart from discovering that two ninjas were missing, the Iwagakure village had no other clues and the investigation was abruptly halted.
"You lead the way!" Mo said, pointing at Yakushi Nono.
Although Yakushi Nonou was somewhat puzzled, she still obediently walked ahead.
"We've been traveling for half a day, let's rest for a while and have something to eat!" Nono suggested.
"Okay, no need to prepare one for me!" Mo said coldly, then jumped onto a tree trunk and sat down with his back against it, closing his eyes to rest.
Although Mo told them not to prepare food for her, Yakushi Nonou still instructed Kabuto to take some over.
"Would you like some?" Kabuto asked, holding up a neatly cut piece of meat.
"No need, I've already eaten the soldier's ration pills." Mo opened his eyes, looked at the thing in Dou's hand, and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes. "This looks really awful."
Dou seemed to notice the disgust in her eyes, handed out the food, and then withdrew behind her.
"Here, take this!" Mo took out a bottle of seasoning and tossed it over.
Dou took the things from him, a question mark flashing on his forehead.
"Seasoning!" Mo Nan offered a brief explanation before closing his eyes and ignoring the rest.
Seeing this, Dou jumped down from the tree, his eyes asking the dean if he wanted to use the condiment.
Yakushi Nonou, who was not far below, naturally heard their conversation. A faint smile appeared on her face as she took the bottle of seasoning from her pocket and sprinkled it on the grilled meat. "Hmm, it really does taste much better now."
Dou smelled the aroma, cut off a piece and tried it. It really tasted much better than before. No wonder she looked disgusted earlier. She must have thought it was too bad. Thinking of this possibility, Dou couldn't help but laugh.
Dou took out the freshly grilled meat, carefully cut it into small pieces, and handed it over. This time, it looked much better than before. "Want some?"
A hint of hesitation flashed across Mo's face, but seeing the expectation in his eyes, he thought for a moment and then took it.
She removed the mask from her face, picked up a small piece of meat, and put it in her mouth. "Barely passable."
Dou never expected there to be such a beautiful face under the mask. The phrase "ice queen" is probably the perfect way to describe her!
Yakushi Nonou's eyes were filled with amazement, but her heart was filled with heartache. What had she gone through to become like this?
After finishing his meal, Mo put his mask back on, reverting to his unapproachable demeanor.
An hour later, the three set off again.
As they approached Konoha, her chakra had already recovered, and she used the Flying Thunder God Technique again to return directly to Root. "Very good, we're half a day ahead of her estimated time."
Mo led his men through a maze of turns to a room where Uchiha Yebian Shimura Danzo was already waiting.
"Lord Danzo, all the people have been brought back," Mo said coldly as he entered the room.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mo!"
"This is a new mission!" Uchiha Ye tossed the scroll in his hand over.
Mo gave a cold "hmm" and turned to leave.
With outsiders present, the two still cooperated and communicated.
After Mo left, Uchiha Ye sized up the two people in front of her. After a moment, she slowly spoke, "This fifty million is the reward for the intelligence you have collected over such a long period of time."
"The other 50 million is for the orphanage."
“From today onwards, you are no longer members of Root.” After saying this, Uchiha Ye released the Tongue Trouble Seal from them. “Alright, you can go back to the orphanage now.”
Leaving the Roots so easily felt unreal to Yakushi Nonou, and doubt was written all over her face.
Uchiha Ye tapped his finger lightly on the table. "Actually, I have another condition."
Upon hearing this, Yakushi Nonou finally felt a little more at ease.
Otherwise, how could Danzo possibly receive so much money for no reason?
Uchiha Ye rolled his eyes inwardly. Sure enough, having Shimura Danzo's face made it harder to be trusted, but that was fine too.
"I plan to set up a medical facility at the root, and you will be in charge of it!"
"Make a list of what you need later!"
"Also, if the orphanage has any promising talents, they can be sent to the Root Cultivation Center for further development. This depends on individual willingness and is not mandatory."
"Lord Danzo, I'm afraid I'm not up to the task!" Yakushi Nonou said, refusing.
"Is that so? Then there's no need for this orphanage to exist," Uchiha Ye threatened, his eyes narrowed.
These words directly seized Yakushi Nono's lifeline, leaving her no choice but to agree; otherwise, how would so many children in the orphanage survive?
“As long as you do a good job, I will provide financial assistance to the orphanage every month.”
With this additional condition, Yakushi Nonou felt much less resistant.
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Uchiha Ye muttered to himself, "Could this be considered a premature resolution of some of the forces involved in the Fourth Shinobi World War?" He leaned back in his chair with his hands behind his head.
Yakushi Nonou is known as the Wandering Shrine Maiden, so her medical ninjutsu must be quite good, not much worse than Tsunade's. There's also Yakushi Kabuto; if properly trained, he could definitely surpass Tsunade. And she can learn some of his techniques along the way.
Before leaving, Kabuto secretly glanced at Danzo Shimura, feeling that something was amiss. Perhaps he was overthinking it!
As time went by, Uchiha Yoru settled down in Root and lived there. Mo used her identity to go out on missions, while she stayed in Root to cultivate talent and train in ninjutsu.
The medical room has also been established and is working quite well. Every day, members of the Root organization who are injured during training or on missions go there for treatment and physical examinations.
This way, it can prevent people from getting sick without being detected. She remembered that Sai's brother seemed to have chosen to die because he was sick.
She is also one of the people who frequently visit the medical clinic for treatment.
With her support behind the scenes, the Uchiha clan is getting along better and better with the village. However, she has spoken with Fugaku about those clan members who are still arrogant, haughty, and complacent, and they have come up with a reform plan that is currently working very well.
The Root organization she currently controls outwardly still harbors dislike for the Uchiha clan and expresses various objections, but each time Hiruzen Sarutobi suppresses and makes the final decisions. Occasionally, she still has to take the blame, otherwise it will easily arouse suspicion.
