Although she was afraid of this organization and didn't want to involve her son with them, Hanako couldn't help but work with them because of how efficient they were.
And if she wanted her son to inherit the position of leader of the Ichihara family, Hanako knew that the help of this organization was essential.
Of course, he wasn't happy about involving his Son either, but he knew that sooner or later he had to do it.
After all, this organization would help her for free.
All this help from this organization was aimed at using the influence and power of the Ichihara family when their son Noboru became the head of the family.
"Go away," Hanako ordered the man, and he nodded before obediently leaving.
As she watched the man leave, Hanako wondered what had gone wrong.
Although it seemed that the organization failed in its mission, they had to contact her to inform her of the reasons.
But no one approached her, and Hanako wondered what was happening.
Of course, she didn't know that Root was going through a difficult time lately, so they didn't have time to contact her.
Of course, Danzo also didn't know that Hanako had ordered the assassination, since contact with the woman was handled by a specific Root ninja, so approaching her wasn't a priority.
And even if I did know, I wouldn't suspect Kozue because Root does many assassination missions every day in the Land of Fire, so I wouldn't connect Root's recent losses with a young samurai from the Ichichara family who just returned home.
I would just think that the young man was lucky and that Root's ninjas had already been eliminated before they set out to carry out the assassination mission.
Hanako sat in her place drinking tea and eating some snacks, thinking about how to contact Root to find out what happened.
Since this organization approached her, she had no way of contacting them other than waiting for them to come to her.
Of course, the woman didn't have the option to wait since she soon forgot her plans.
Without the woman or anyone in the mansion noticing, a person under an invisibility spell appeared behind her and placed their hands on top of her head.
The woman had no opportunity to defend herself against the actions of Kozue's clone to check her memory.
Having obtained all the important information, he prepared to leave.
But before that, he walked in front of the woman and placed a hand on her chest.
Kozue's hand shimmered slightly before she withdrew it, and this time she left the mansion without anyone noticing.
Meanwhile, Honoka Ichihara woke up 1 hour later, with no memory of what had happened previously and her past plans.

One week has passed since Kozue destroyed Root's base near the capital of the land of fire.
And while he 'traveled' to the 4 cities where the other 4 stores he inherited from his father were located, he never stopped searching for the foundations of Root.
After destroying 3 of them, Kozue let several of her shadow clones go to the few locations they were able to extract from the captured Root ninjas and return them to their places without remembering that they were captured.
And although only a few knew the locations of other nearby or distant bases, Kozue was able to find most of Root's bases in the land of fire.
Of course, he didn't destroy them.
Instead, he left magical tracking spells on the leaders and some other ninjas at each base and waited for Root's next actions.
And as he expected, Root began to change the locations of the remaining Root bases, and he was able to learn all the secret locations thanks to his tracking spells.
With the new information ready, Kozue sent other groups of shadow clones out hunting while he took control of his new properties and set about running his new stores.
Leaving one of her girls in each store, with Robin in the capital of the land of fire, Kozue began selling her products after obtaining the appropriate permits.
And since each of them could travel from one store to another, they could easily meet up to train or hang out together.
Thanks to the shadow clones, their stores weren't without employees.
Each of the shadow clones used a transformation jutsu, and the memories did not overwhelm the girls since he taught them a way to prevent the shadow clones' memories from returning to the original body if they were not important.
And this time, instead of waiting for approval from the authorities, he spent points in his dimensional shop to buy the permits.
Not only did he obtain the permits quickly, but everything was legal and original, leaving him with new memories of the entire process.
Of course, the people involved in the legal process had their memories altered, showing the power of their dimensional shop.
With all the permits in place, the other 4 Kozue stores opened at the same time.
And this time they didn't just sell fresh vegetables, but also canned goods like fish, bagged snacks, sweets, ice cream, chocolates, soaps, toothpaste, shampoo, and other items.

Suzume was a housewife, who at this time usually does the shopping to make lunch for her home.
She didn't usually go this way on her journey, but a few days ago her neighbors told her about this store that sold fresh vegetables and delicious fruits, so she went to visit it and confirmed what she heard.
Since then, she has been coming to this store on her regular route to buy vegetables for her meals and fruit for her family to enjoy as dessert.
As a family with an average income, there are few things they can afford to buy, but these sweet fruits are cheap enough to buy a few every day.
But when he saw the store from afar, he realized that the store looked different.
Only the sign that read "SENBON TORII" told him that the store was still the same and he breathed a sigh of relief.
What also caught her attention was the number of people coming in and out now, a much larger number compared to the previous times she had visited.
Quickening her pace, the woman hoped that her son's favorite fruits hadn't run out.
But his attention was quickly drawn to the view through the glass door.
And upon entering, Suzume marveled at the things before her.
There were many new things, such as sausages, bathroom items, and more.
Walking along the sides, he came across freezers with ice cream and others with meat inside.
'It seems to have modernized,' the woman thought.
Although Suzume wondered how this was possible when yesterday the place was very different, she quickly forgot about it when she saw many things that caught her attention.

Kozue's shops, whether in the fire capital or in the other city shops, did not attract much public attention other than their modernization, but it did not cause a stir.
After all, stores like this already existed, and the products Kozue sold weren't surprising.
Although customers noticed the quality products and affordable prices, they didn't cause a big stir because it was just one store in a big city.
While taking a break from training with the girls, Kozue watched as the points in his dimensional shop increased each day and nodded his head in satisfaction.
He was consistently attracting customers and earning points every day.
But it wasn't enough.
The dandelions he needed to recover after each workout were now worth hundreds of thousands of points.
And as their girls increase their strength, they'll also need higher-level dandelions.
Therefore, you should increase the number of stores you visit to earn more points every day.
Of course, he could start selling items that would definitely catch the attention of ninjas and he could get more points from them.
But he'll leave that for later.
Ninjas are a minority in this world, with fewer than 1 million, so they weren't their priority for now.
As long as they open stores in every city around the world, the points earned would be astronomical.
With that plan in mind, Kozue quickly purchased the legal and financial knowledge for setting up a company in this world at her dimensional shop and then used points to obtain all the necessary legal paperwork.
In this way, their shadow clones began to travel throughout the land of fire to open more stores, city by city.
Thanks to Root's donations, Kozue wouldn't have to worry about money anytime soon.
