Land of Earth - Time: 4:30 pm

The mental mansion began to blur as Daichi exited Kuroda's mind. The familiar sensation of his consciousness returning to body washed over him.

When his senses sharpened, Daichi, in his "Dragon" persona, was back in the Finance Minister's personal chambers. He looked at the minister who was dazed at the moment and began to search the room. Thanks to his mind walk, he knew where the minister kept intelligence on Orochimaru.

Dragon soon found a hidden safe and quickly opened it to find several documents and maps with markers on them.

His visage remained impassive as he activated the communication array jutsu. He wanted to update his real self and wanted to know how to proceed.

A familiar voice spoke through the connection and echoed in his mind. 'Report.'

'Mission partially complete.' Dragon spoke in his mind. 'I've confirmed the minister's collaboration with Orochimaru. It's as we feared. Their plans involve experimenting on sensei and creating an army of Wood Style users. Kuroda also intends to seize the position of Daimyo and then start a war with the Land of Fire. I'll send you the memories right now.'

Dragon created a shadow clone and dispelled it immediately. Daichi quickly found out what happened at the compound and saw what his clone learned.

A pause lingered before the real Daichi replied from the other side. 'That's worse than I expected. You're still in his chamber right? You got the proof?'

'Yes. I've secured his documents, maps, and blueprints related to Orochimaru's operations. He also kept records of Orochimaru's activities as leverage. It was a potential insurance against any betrayal. I've collected those as well.'

'Good. That evidence is vital.' the real Daichi said firmly. 'I'm also in the Land of Earth with Kakashi sensei and a couple of others. I can't risk revealing what you've learned to them, but we'll have to make sure those documents you have reach the right people.'

Dragon inclined his head slightly, though he knew his real self couldn't see it. 'Understood. What are your orders?'

'Two things. First, make two recordings of the minister confessing to his crimes. Extract everything he knows about Orochimaru and his plans, including his role in this conspiracy. Use Genjutsu if you must.'

'And the second?' Dragon asked, his tone calm but alert.

'Take all the blueprints, maps, and incriminating documents he's collected. Deliver one recording and the relevant evidence to Jiraiya. He's currently investigating the situation in the Land of Earth. You'll need to track him down but that won't be too much trouble. Once you're close he'll pop up on your mini-map. You should start with the areas near the Capital. Make sure you approach him as 'Dragon'.' Daichi told his clone the plan after a few minutes.

The shadow clone nodded to himself and glanced at the minister who was still under the effects of his jutsu. 'He will definitely be wary of me. I just raided the Root base half a day ago. Unless Danzo kept his mouth shut Jiraiya and the Hokage would already know my features.'

'Yeah about that. You're not gonna believe this but Danzo is here.'

'What? Did you meet him?' The shadow clone disguised as Dragon was shocked.

'Yes. But you don't need to worry about that. What I need you to focus on is giving Jiraiya that Intel.'

'What if he doesn't believe me?'
