Chapter 399
Naruto tried to make sense of his chaotic thoughts, but nothing seemed to make any sense, leaving him feeling extremely confused and lost. "Wait...wait a minute! No matter how annoying that guy is, how could he betray us so easily? There must be some misunderstanding here!"
Seeing Naruto's eyes widen, Sakura sighed, "No, it is possible. After all, Sai's boss was the one who once competed with the late Sarutobi for the throne of the Third Hokage. And unlike the Third Hokage, he is a tough advocate of rational thinking and the fighting line."
Naruto scratched his head in confusion, wondering: When did such a person appear? Could it be that in the three years since he was away from the village, he has not been able to keep up with the development of the village? "Sai's boss? Who is he?"
Captain Yamato stroked his chin and said to Naruto thoughtfully, "This man's name is Shimura Danzo, and he is Sai's immediate superior. However, this old man can be said to be an outlier. He is a person who does not follow the will of the Third Hokage at all. It can also be said that he is a complete militant opponent."
After hearing this, Sakura couldn't help but think of her master Tsunade's previous warning. She narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she was thinking about something. After a while, she slowly spoke: "According to the current situation, Danzo is very likely to use Sai to achieve a certain goal. Maybe the mission Sai received from Danzo is very different from our team's mission, and it may even be a top-secret mission."
Hearing this, Naruto was shocked, his eyes widened, and he looked at Sakura in disbelief, stammering, "Could it be that... that guy went on a mission with us just to get close to Orochimaru and use us?"
Seeing Naruto's fists clenched unconsciously, Sakura didn't know what to say. This was just speculation. As expected, some people just can't learn to use their brains. "Well, that's fine too."
Captain Yamato stared at the two people in front of him with a solemn expression, and said in a low and serious tone: "What I am about to say next may be unbelievable, but based on the clues we have at present, this possibility is very high. So, please be sure to concentrate and listen carefully..."
Sakura raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes becoming focused, and she stared at Captain Yamato, waiting for him to continue.
Captain Yamato took a deep breath and said slowly: "Danzo... maybe he is planning to destroy the Hidden Leaf Village as we know it today."
His voice was heavy and worried, as if this speculation made him feel very uneasy.
Sakura was surprised at first, but then she felt it made sense...
This speculation is indeed a bit extreme, but it is not impossible. After all, Danzo was the one who missed the throne of the Third Hokage, and he hated the Fifth Hokage, who was the granddaughter of the First Hokage and also a conservative... So it was reasonable for him to use Sai to convey information to Orochimaru.
Naruto looked at Captain Yamato anxiously with an anxious look on his face and asked, "What exactly does it mean to destroy Konoha?"
Captain Yamato replied solemnly: "The so-called destruction of Konoha, as the name suggests, is to completely destroy the current Konoha Village."
Hearing this, Sakura seemed to understand the stakes involved and looked at Captain Yamato in disbelief, "If we really do this... wouldn't that mean we would be doing this to Lady Tsunade..."
Captain Yamato nodded silently, "That's what I mean."
