Chapter 77 Questioning

Uchiha Fugaku, who was standing on a high place, came to Ye Shan's side and whispered, "Here comes someone with bad intentions, be careful."

Ye Shan dissipated the secret technique attached to his body, put the short sword back into the scabbard, stood there expressionlessly, and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen who was jumping forward like a monkey not far away with sneer in his eyes.

"Hayama-kun, I'm very happy tonight. I hope I can let go when we fight next time." Orochimaru said sinisterly.

Ye Shan, who was in an irritable mood, frowned and shouted coldly: "Get out!"

The sinister smile on Orochimaru's face froze, and anger suddenly surged in his heart. As Sarutobi Hiruzen's favorite student and one of the three ninjas, he was praised wherever he went. He had never been scolded like this, and his murderous intention could not help but be leaked.

Uchiha Fugaku also looked at Ye Shan with some strangeness, but he didn't say anything. Actually, there was nothing much to say. The three ninjas were all direct disciples of Sarutobi Hiruzen. Except for Senju Tsunade, who might take care of the Uchiha clan a little because of their old friendship, Jiraiya and Orochimaru wished the Uchiha clan would die, so there was no need to please them specially.

A moment later, Sarutobi Hiruzen arrived with several Anbu ninjas. The originally smooth and clean streets had become bumpy and messy, and the air was filled with violent chakra reactions. Even a fool would know that a battle had just taken place here, and it was a fight between ninjas of high level.

A good leader will never clearly state his or her position at the beginning, but will often seek everyone's opinions and then make flexible changes based on the situation.

"It's so late, why are you guys here instead of sleeping at home?"

Look, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression is very confused, and there is dissatisfaction in his confusion, as if Hatake Sakumo's suicide has nothing to do with him.

Ye Shan smiled coldly and said, "Fugaku and I went out to find a place to have a midnight snack, but we ran into Orochimaru who didn't pay for his meal. We had no choice but to perform our duties as a security department. We didn't expect him to resist arrest and insult the Hokage."

Orochimaru: “…”

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "......"

To be honest, if they were not in the village, if many ninjas had not rushed here after hearing the news, and if Yeshan did not have some strength to protect himself, Orochimaru would have wanted to kill him instantly.

An ANBU stepped forward and shouted, "Jounin Bai Kumo Yeshan, watch your words!"

"Who do you think you are? How dare you shout here?"

"you...."

Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed to interrupt the ANBU, and seeing that Hayama was unwilling to speak, he turned to Orochimaru and asked, "What happened?"

Orochimaru stared at his teacher with a half-smile, and said slowly: "Hatake Sakumo is dead."

"What??"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to fall to the ground as he swayed. The Anbu beside him quickly supported his arm and shouted, "Third-sama! Cheer up, Third-sama!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen broke free from the support of the Anbu, staggered forward and grabbed Orochimaru's collar, and asked anxiously: "What you said... is it true?"

Ye Shan watched Sarutobi Hiruzen's show coldly, feeling disgusted in his heart, but since things had come to this point, nothing he said would be of any use. His first priority was to try his best to preserve Hatake Sakumo's body and bury him in peace.

Orochimaru gently shook off Sarutobi Hiruzen's smoky hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Of course it's true. I don't dare to joke about such things."

After confirming again and again, Sarutobi Hiruzen took out his pipe from his pocket and wanted to take a puff to calm down, but his slightly trembling right hand couldn't light the tobacco. He threw the match on the ground with an annoyed look and stepped on it hard.

At this time, a group of prominent ninjas from the village finally arrived, at just the right time, not too early or too late. The two people walking in the front were Uchiha Shinichi and a member of the Hyuga clan.

"What happened? Have spies from the enemy country infiltrated?" Uchiha Shinji's voice arrived before he even arrived.

Uchiha Fugaku's stern face fluctuated a little. He felt extremely amused when he saw his father who looked like he was willing to sacrifice his life for the village.

Everyone was acting, even though they already knew what big thing had happened here.

Orochimaru stared at Hayama and Uchiha Fugaku with a gloomy expression for a few moments, as if issuing a warning of danger, and then silently turned into a gust of breeze and disappeared on the spot.

As one of the three ninjas, Orochimaru has great prestige in the village, but he does not have a corresponding position. Naturally, he does not want to be involved and get himself into trouble.

However, the old fox Sarutobi Hiruzen had expected that Orochimaru would quit, but it didn't matter. His good apprentice had to be taken care of and used. It was okay for him to do some dirty and tiring work occasionally, but not for a long time. Of course, Sarutobi Hiruzen had candidates who could do dirty and tiring work for a long time, and he was well prepared.

"What do you want to do?"

Danzo Shimura appeared at the right time. He instantly stood on the street and separated Uchiha Shinichi and others from Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"It's such a commotion in the middle of the night. What is the Security Department doing? Can they do their job? If not, let the Root Department take over tomorrow!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was very careful about his reputation and was always considering what to say, fearing that a wrong statement would ruin the image he had worked so hard to establish. But his old teammate Shimura Danzo didn't care at all and always said whatever came to his mind without caring about his image.

Facing Shimura Danzo's questioning, Uchiha Shinichi smiled coldly and said, "Don't worry about it, Master Danzo."

"Konoha Village is so big, how come we meet here tonight? I wonder what Danzo-sama is doing here?"

Uchiha Shinichi's question made Shimura Danzo laugh instead of getting angry, and he said coldly: "Do I need to report to you what I do?"

"Then what should I report to you?" Uchiha Shinichi said without showing any weakness.

"good good good good!"

Shimura Danzo's voice became increasingly gloomy, and a hint of murderous intent was released without any concealment.

Uchiha Shinichi sneered, and released his murderous aura unwilling to be outdone, and actually suppressed Shimura Danzo for a while.

Shimura Danzo's strength is not weak, and he was once the best in the village when he was young, but after so many years of pampered life, even a ninja with good self-control will inevitably stagnate. The profession of ninja can only grow on the battlefield and through killing, and it is of little use to work behind closed doors.

"Stop it all!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen shouted in a dignified manner, and Uchiha Shinichi snorted coldly and gave up suppressing him. Without even looking at Shimura Danzo, he led a few people straight to Hayama and stood face to face with Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Sir, what happened? Do we need to call in the security department to impose martial law?"

Until now, Uchiha Shinichi was still acting, and Sarutobi Hiruzen's face twitched.
