After sealing the three bags containing 170 million Ryo inside a storage scroll, Fujin soon left the root base.
Fujin did not intend to stay at the new secret Base of Root for very long, nor does he intend to immediately help Danzo for his purpose as that would make others suspicious of Amatsukami's true purpose. The geezer thinks that Amatsukami just sold it to him, let him think this, all the pieces will be laid out slowly and steadily.
Not long after he had reached a few miles away from the Root Base, Fujin suddenly stopped, turned around, and said to seemingly no one, "This one is wondering as to how long are you going to follow."
As soon as Fujin's words fell, a figure walked out from behind a tree not far away, and said with a sly tone, "As one would expect from a member of Amatsukami, very sharp."
Fujin knew that nothing Orochimaru does would be good, but he has to play his character, so he asked, "Orochi-san, is there something you need from this one?"
Orochimaru leaned against the tree and after folding his arms over his chest, he asked, "I am just curious is all, why does Amatsukami choose Shimura Danzo? I don't think it's just about him becoming the Hokage, that's obviously a ruse, isn't it? So, I want to know what you people want to use him for?"
Fujin was surprised by Orochimaru's question and said with a smile, "And here this one thought that Orochi-san doesn't care about Konoha anymore."
Orochimaru said with a smile, "As I mentioned earlier, it's a little curiosity."
"Oh, is that so? Since Orochi-san is so interested, then this one will obviously satiate his curiosity." After a pause, Fujin said again, "But it won't be so easy, if Orochi-san can win against this one in a fight, then this one will answer all of Orochi-san's questions."
To be honest, Hyuga Kuroto really wants to use this Fujin Clone to fight against a master like Orochimaru in order to test the true limits of the strength of this Clone in actual combat.
After all, no matter how good Kazekage Puppet is until his Clone body is completed and he gets used to it, the strength he can display in a battle is quite limited, so even Kuroto does not know how strong Fujin Clone is actually.
As Fujin said so, Iron Sand started to appear out of the cuff of his sleeve.
Seeing that Fujin had plans to do something, Orochimaru narrowed his eyes. He is indeed curious about why did Amatsukami suddenly come to Danzo, and why would an organization such as Amatsukami support Shimura Danzo's ambition of becoming the Hokage but when he thinks that there are more important things has to take care of, so he immediately shook his head, and said, "Forget it, it is just a trivial curiosity, I have no intention to be hostile to Amatsukami."
Whoosh
As soon as he finished speaking, Orochimaru instantly disappeared from his position with a Body Flicker.
Fujin who was preparing for a fight squinted a few times because he was taken aback by the sudden action of Orochimaru, and muttered with a suspicious tone, "Huh, Orochi-san withdrew so easily?"
Orochimaru has never been a guy who can be easily subdued, it wouldn't be wrong to say that he is one of the unruliest guys out there and his curiosity is simply unsatiable, so Fujin was quite certain that Orochimaru would agree to a fight just for the sake of his curiosity. But this time he withdrew so quickly and without even putting any resistance, so Fujin felt that there is really something important Orochimaru is focusing his attention on, any other option doesn't make sense.
So, no longer caring about Orochimaru, Fujin soon left the forest.
…
The evening of the next day.
After performing his mission for today, Kuroto was sitting in his study; reading the scroll of Scorch Release.
Knock knock knock
Suddenly there was a rapid knock on the main door.
Kuroto quirked his eyebrow again, lately, a lot of people have started to visit him, and he was wondering who is it this time.
After folding back the scroll and putting it in his pocket, Kuroto got up and walked out of his room to open the door.
Opening the door, Kuroto found that the one visiting him this time is none other than the little Miko, wearing a traditional red hakama, a white Kosode, along with a red ribbon that ties her light blond hair that falls down to her waist.
But for some reason, Shion was looking a little upset while Taruho (Shion's guard) was standing behind her with a smile.
"Oh, Shion-chan… what happened? Why do you look upset?" asked Kuroto after crouching down to Shion's level.
Shion said quickly, "Kuroto-nii, I… I have a secret I must tell you."
"Oh, a secret, is it?" Kuroto quirked his eyebrow, then led Shion and Taruho inside his house.
During this period of time, Shion has been living in Yui's house because Kuroto is too busy to be able to take care of her. Fortunately, enough, Hyuga Yui's parents liked Shion very much, and treat her as their own daughter. Sandaime and Hyuga Patriarch also gave Shion a very high-level treatment considering her identity as the next generation of Miko of the Land of Demons.
The Land of Demons may have fallen and become a country where criminals from all places gather, but it doesn't change Shion's identity as the next Miko. Therefore, her life in Konoha has always been like that of a princess, in fact, people even refer to her as Shion-hime.
After coming to Kuroto's study, Shion looked around several times with a cautious look, and after repeatedly confirming that no one was around, she came closer to Kuroto and whispered in his ear, "Kuroto-nii, I… I foresaw a death prophecy!"
Kuroto who was sitting casually and waiting to listen to Shion's 'little secret' suddenly changed his expression as soon as he heard Shion's words, and asked, "Whose death did you foresee?"
Shion immediately said, "It's the Oba-san who sells Takoyaki."
Taruho sitting on the side quickly explained, "Kuroto-sama, she is the owner of Tanikawa Takoyaki located near the Konoha Hot Spring."
'A civilian…?' After thinking so, Kuroto asked Shion, "How did the Oba-san die in the Prophecy?"
Shion entered a deep concentration mode, with a small bulge in her mouth and her finger constantly tapping over her cheek, which Kuroto found kind of cute. After a while, Shion said, "She seems to have been buried by the roof, no, not right, she seems to have been smashed by the big wooden door of the shop… no, or maybe, whatever, the picture isn't very clear as there seems to be some kind of chaos. I can't remember how exactly did the Oba-san die."
Kuroto pat her head, and urged, "Try to remember Shion-chan, what else did you foresee in the prophecy?"
Shion held her chin and tried remembering other details, then said, "She died at night, and there seems to be something huge in the sky, moreover, there was also fire lit over the village."
Kuroto said again, "Something huge, and fire, is it? And anything else, any other details that you noticed?"
"Right, Ichiraku Ramen shop was also destroyed in the prophecy." Speaking until here, Shion suddenly folded her hand over her chest, and muttered to herself, "Well, I still have a coupon that I haven't used yet, I must use it before it is destroyed."
"Ichiraku Ramen Shop is also destroyed?" muttered Kuroto, then thought, 'Ichiraku Ramen is located at the center area of the Village, if even Ichiraku Ramen is destroyed, it means that the attack overs almost the entire Village.'
"Alright, now tell me, did you tell anyone else about this prophecy?" asked Kuroto.
Shion said, "Yui-nee hasn't been home for the past few days, so I never had the chance to tell her, as for Fumei Oba-san, and Fumihiro Oji-san (Hyuga Yui's mother and father respectively), I did not tell them because Taruho told me not to."
Taruho immediately said, "Kuroto-sama, Shion-sama has not told anyone about the death prophecy except for you and me, as per your instructions."
As the guard of Shion, Taruho has been specifically instructed by Kuroto to make sure that if Shion were to ever foresee a death, she does not tell anyone.
Listening to Taruho's words, Kuroto nodded, "Very good, make sure to not tell anyone about it."
This is for the safety of both Shion and those around her because once this ability is exposed, the people around her will subconsciously stay far away from her, which is not good for her. As for the others, knowing when and how one will die is not a good thing, specifically, it can not be changed.
Just because Uzumaki Naruto can change the destiny of his death does not mean everyone can change the destiny of his death.
Shion asked in a low voice, "But Kuroto-nii, shouldn't we inform Hokage-sama? In the prophecy, I foresee many people getting injured too."
Kuroto pat Shion's head, and said, "I will take care of notifying Hokage-sama, you don't have to worry about it."
Kuroto is very clear that Sandaime-sama has been preparing the trap for Akatsuki for a very long time, so he must be prepared for the attack on the Village. Therefore, even if Sandaime is informed about the content of the prophecy, it is unlikely that it would reduce the village's losses.
After instructing Shion, Kuroto asked Taruho, "Have you participated in the evacuation drills organed by the Village?"
Taruho nodded, "Yes, Kuroto-sama."
Kuroto nodded, and said in a low voice, "If something happens in the village, your only task is to give priority to the safety of Shion, do not care about others, just make sure that Shion is safe, understand?"
"I understand, Kuroto-sama." Taruho nodded with a solemn expression.
After the matter of death, prophecy was finished, Kuroto asked Shion about her progress in training. Since Yui is extremely busy so Shion's training is also affected, but there's not too much problem because Shion is going to be joining the Academy soon enough.
A while later Shion and Taruho left Kuroto's house and now him alone in the room, Kuroto muttered, "What could be that something huge in the sky?"
Kuroto probably knew the answer to his own question, and thought, 'I suppose I should go and see Pakura, although chances are low given his wickedness, perhaps I can get a better understanding of Sandaime-sama's plan, and also use this opportunity to personally experience Scorch Release from her.'

Uchiha Clan Ruins from the Warring States Period.
Uchiha Shisui stroked the murals on the walls with a deep look and shouted, "Itachi, come here and take a look at these."
Uchiha Itachi who was not very far away walked over and carefully studied the murals Shisui pointed at.
The Murals tells the tale of an Uchiha Shinobi.
'Long ago, there was an Uchiha, he and one other child were born as the children of the Patriarch of the Uchiha Clan, and a Kunoichi from some other Clan whose name hasn't been mentioned, perhaps she was a Senju? Uzumaki? Hyuga? Kaguya? Or maybe some other Shinobi Clan? But it didn't matter because soon after she gave birth to the two children, twins; she died due to severe weakness and exhaustion.
The existence of the two children (One boy and one girl) was kept a secret and the two of them were raised by one of the loyal subordinates of the Patriarch.
The boy, the older of the two was trained to become the next Patriarch of the Uchiha Clan, and he was the most exceptional shinobi the Uchiha Clan had ever seen. Whatever was taught to him, he would always grasp it at once and improve it to various degrees, his wisdom was unlike any other anyone had ever seen.
He always fought on the front, and never lost even a single battle. Rumors said that he was born with a special body and whatever injury he received healed soon enough, there was no correct answer as to what was the exact cause but he was deemed to be the strongest of all, the strongest to have ever lived.
When his father died, his eyes changed into a different pattern and he gained more power, he used that power to kill more enemies.
With him on their side, the Uchiha Clan was confident in being able to dominate the Senju Clan, with him on their side, the Uchiha Clan was confident in finally dominating the entire Shinobi World.
But one day, when the Uchiha Clan was returning from the war against the Senju Clan, something happened, what exactly happened was unknown, but it was a disaster for the Uchiha Clan. The invincible Uchiha who was said to be undefeated died of assassination and the person who killed him was none other than his own younger sister.
After killing her brother, the sister also mortally wounded the wife of her older brother and then fled the scene. The wife because of her critical injury died soon after.
The Uchiha Clan searched the Shinobi World to find the whereabouts of the treacherous sister for months and years, they had to punish her for her treachery, but they could never find her, perhaps she had escaped to the edge of this world and died, or maybe she committed suicide out of guilt; the true cause of her disappearance was unknown but she was never seen again.'
"Strange, why would the sister kill her own twin brother for seemingly no reason?" muttered Itachi with a thoughtful look on his face.
Shisui was also confused, and said, "There could be countless reasons, and we wouldn't know the exact cause; but that aside, look here? Do you see this?"
Itachi followed Shisui's gaze and looked at two different murals, there two were paintings of two different Susano'o facing each other. What's noticeable about these two Susano'o is that they seem to carry two different types of weapons.
The first Susano'o carries a Huge Gourd while the other Susano'o carries a huge Shield.
Itachi said with a doubt, "A huge gourd? And a Giant Shield?"
Shisui added, "Moreover the color of both Gourd and Shield is completely different from the color of the two Susano'o which is black and white respectively. Perhaps these Gourd and Shield are not a natural part of the Susano'o."
Although, these paintings are centuries old, reading and deciphering them is not a problem for Shisui and Itachi.
The color contrast between Black and White Susano'o and the two red weapons is so conspicuous that it is a bit difficult to not notice. And Itachi and Shisui are Uchiha who have experience in using Susano'o, so obviously they can recognize these differences.
Both Shisui and Itachi understand that Susano'o is actually the manifestation of one's own chakra through Mangekyou Sharingan. The color of one's chakra can never have many distinct colors; therefore; any weapon of Susano'o should be of the same color as the main Susano'o body.
Itachi said, "The Gourd is most likely Sword of Totsuka."
Shisui muttered with a frown, "But isn't Sword of Totsuka supposed to be a Sword and not a Gourd?"
Itachi said after a bit of thinking, "According to what Kuroto-san has told us, the Sword of Totsuka is a Sword of Sealing, it's quite special and different from other Kusanagi Swords, its appearance may not be as simple as we think."
Shisui nodded, then said, "If that's the case, then the shield is most likely Yata Mirror, right?"
Itachi nodded, "Quite possibly."
After reaching a consensus, the two separated and searched the ruins for any more clues that they can find. However, even after searching for a long time, the two never found any more clues related to the Gourd or the Shield in the Mural.
After meeting again, Shisui said, "There was no record of this Gourd or Shield in the Clan archives. If we assume that one of the two artifacts was that of the brother, does that mean it is buried with the body of the brother?"
Itachi also thought of the same possibility.
If this Gourd and Shield are so powerful, there should have been some kind of record about them in the Clan, yet nobody knows about them, no records were left, in fact, there is also no information about the twin siblings.
This can only mean that everything related to the pair of siblings including all the information was either destroyed or lost. This strangeness made both Itachi and Shisui realize that something is wrong here.
Unfolding the map, Itachi drew a few circles on the map based on his memory, then said, "I have checked the Archives within the Clan, these locations are the burial grounds, maybe we can find some information here."
After Konoha was founded, all the deceased ninja and civilians were buried at the Konoha cemetery, and the clansmen of the Uchiha Clan were no exception, therefore, the Uchiha Clan cemeteries that were used during the Warring States Period have long been abandoned and most of them are left unattended.
With a bit of hesitation, Shisui nodded, "Alright, let's go take a look."
Although, disturbing the slumber of the deceased ancestors is a very rude thing, in contrast, protecting the village and the clan is more important. So, if they can find any clue about the legendary Sword of Totsuka in the graves of the deceased ancestors, Shisui would rather disturb the slumber of the ancestors so that they can get their hands on the Sword of Totsuka so as to protect the Village and the Clan.
There was no hesitation in Itachi's eyes, and he nodded, "Shisui-san, I believe that the ancestors would be willing to forgive us."
Itachi believes that the ancestors would be willing to forgive the two youngins of their clan as he and Shisui are doing this for the peace of Shinobi World and for the Uchiha Clan.
Shisui nodded and the two left the site to start the grave robbery.
