Chapter 145: The Third Hokage: Damn! I hit a wall this time!

Orochimaru started to get busy. In fact, he had already prepared all the materials and was just waiting for Shizuka to give the okay.

As long as Jing lets go, he can make all the puppets in the shortest time.

When Orochimaru was busy, the Anbu's operations department was also busy.

Dozens of ninjas rushed towards the Shimura clan's territory.

Under the command of Tiger and Eagle, the Shimura clan territory was surrounded from all directions.

what's the situation?

Are the Anbu people here again?

So many people came.

When the Shimura clan's on-duty ninja saw this scene, he was almost frightened to death. He crawled into the family land and went straight to the clan chief's courtyard.

"Chief, something terrible has happened. The Anbu people are here again."

At this time, Chief Shimura had already gone to bed, but he was awakened by the loud voices of his tribesmen. He didn't have time to change his clothes and ran out in his pajamas.

"What did you say? The Anbu people are here again? How many people are here?"

The man on duty had a bitter face and said, “Chief, I don’t know, but I am sure there are a lot of people.”

What does the Anbu want to do?

"Hinata Shizuichi!!!"

After being stunned for a few seconds, Chief Shimura let out an angry roar.

It is clear that the actions of the Anbu were definitely the work of Jingyi. They came to arrest people during the day, but were stopped by the Third Hokage. They came again at night, and it was a large-scale operation.

In the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage stood by the window and looked in the direction of the Shimura clan.

In fact, he had received news during the day that the Anbu would have a major operation, so after get off work, he did not go home to rest, but stayed in the Hokage's office waiting.

The wait paid off.

The Anbu did have a big move, with dozens or even hundreds of people heading straight to the Shimura clan's territory and surrounding it.

We act as if we are not afraid of making things bigger.

"Whoo~~~~"

Looking at the Anbu's posture, the Third Hokage knew that this matter would not be settled so easily. Shizuka is a hedgehog. If you touch me, I will chase you and bite you.

The Shimura clan was the first to stand out, and he turned his back and started to target the Shimura clan.

As long as the Anbu are targeting the Shimura clan, Sarutobi Hiruzen will have to step forward to protect the Shimura clan, otherwise everyone will be embarrassed, not only will they lose face, but they will also lose credibility.

The Hyuga clan’s previous experience is enough as a lesson. If it weren’t for the Shimura clan, which clan would dare to approach him in the future?

We helped you, the Third Hokage, and acted like your dogs. But when we were retaliated against, you didn't protect us. Why should we help you? We're all being your dogs anyway. Can't you find someone else?

Besides, the Shimura clan and the Hyuga clan are two different things.

The Hyuga clan can still be considered a cooperative interest, but the Shimura clan is Sarutobi Hiruzen's loyal brothers. If he can't even protect his loyal brothers, it will deal a serious blow to the credibility of the Third Hokage.

In order to prevent the situation from getting out of hand, the Third Hokage rushed over immediately.

Fortunately, the Shimura clan's territory was not far from the Hokage's office building, and the Third Hokage arrived in a short time.

The good news is that the Anbu people have not taken the next step yet, and the bad news is that the Shimura clan’s territory has been surrounded.

The kind that is surrounded.

The Shimura clan's ninjas have already formed a standoff with the Anbu in the clan's territory. The Shimura clan members continue to question the Anbu members about what they want to do.

Faced with these people's questioning, the Anbu people said nothing.

"Hokage-sama."

The Third Hokage arrived, and the Anbu members put away their weapons and bowed their heads in salute.

The Third Hokage had a dark face as he walked towards the Shimura clan's territory. After reaching the innermost layer of the encirclement, he questioned the two captains, Tiger and Eagle:

"What are you ANBU doing? Who gave you the courage to surround the Shimura clan's territory?"

Faced with the Third Hokage's roar, all the Anbu members lowered their heads and no one responded.

Seeing that the Anbu members remained silent, the Third Hokage did not want to continue getting angry at them.

Because everyone knew that this was Jingyi's work, and the people in the Anbu were just following orders, and they were the ones who were caught in the most difficult situation.

"Alright, everyone, retreat. Your mission is over."

It was not easy to get angry at these innocent people, so the Third Hokage could only wave his hand in frustration and tell the Anbu people to quickly pack up and return to the headquarters.

The Third Hokage gave the order. He thought that the Anbu people would do the same as they did during the day and quickly pack up and leave after he gave the order.

Then he could comfort the people of the Shimura clan and go home to rest.

The result was beyond expectations. Although the order was given, the Anbu people did not move. From top to bottom, no one took action.

Putting away weapons is the greatest respect for him as the Hokage.

"What do you mean? Don't you understand what I say? Or do you think you can ignore my orders?"

The Third Hokage's anger, which had just subsided a little, suddenly flared up again.

Since when, I, the Hokage, can no longer command even the Anbu?

Tiger answered bravely: "We must obey the orders of Lord Hokage, but..."

You tell me, if you can come up with reasons that are convincing enough to convince me, I won’t blame you!

The Third Hokage stared at him, waiting for his next words. He also wanted to know what reason could make the Anbu people disobey even the Hokage's orders.

"But the Vice Minister said that if we retreat without his order, it will be regarded as a mission failure. If the mission fails, we will be replaced and leave the Anbu."

"Hokage-sama, no one wants to leave the Anbu. Before the operation began, many people had been kicked out of the Anbu. No one wants to be the next one and become a traitor in everyone's eyes."

"?!!!"

Many people in the Anbu were fired?

How come I don’t know about this?

It seemed like this was an internal matter of the Anbu, and he, the Hokage, really couldn't interfere.

It feels so fucking terrible that the Hokage can't interfere in the affairs of the Anbu.

"Isn't he afraid that no one will use him?"

The Third Hokage was so angry that his nose was almost crooked, and at the same time he couldn't understand where Jingyi's confidence came from.

If it is a civilian job, just open it and select a group of people from Pig, Deer and Butterfly to join, but the operations department is irreplaceable.

Tiger and Eagle looked at each other, and Eagle walked forward without saying anything to clear up the confusion for the Third Hokage.

"Hokage-sama, the minister has used a group of puppets. These puppets can replace us..."

"........"

Suffer!

I missed the puppet.

Using puppets to replace ANBU operatives, if this happened in the past, the Third Hokage would have laughed to death if he heard about it.

Because the Anbu's operatives are so important, they are required to carry out various tasks and protect various important people. Any troublesome tasks can fall on them. There is no better operative force than them.

Now, these people will be directly replaced by puppets.

Thinking of Jingyi's puppets, the Third Hokage had a lot of black lines on his forehead.

This is simply... a sin.

No wonder these people in the Anbu didn't dare to move, because they were afraid of leaving the Anbu.
