Chapter 424: The Third Hokage is in big trouble

Whether it was a ninja village assassinating the daimyo of its own country, or a daimyo deliberately framing the leader of a ninja village, if word got out, it would be a shameful thing for both parties.

As long as the person is not caught and sufficient evidence is not found, it was done by the enemy.

It must have been done by the enemy.

The shadow behind the daimyo moved for a moment, then quickly returned to normal.

"Sarutobi Hiruzen......."

When the name of the Third Hokage was mentioned, the Daimyo's thin face became a little distorted.

He had asked many people to investigate the assassination attempt on Daming Prefecture, but the final result was no results.

But those who received the money clearly guaranteed that this could not have been done by a wandering ninja, and the probability of a traitor was very low.

If a wandering ninja has that kind of ability, why would he do such a thing? He can just be a big shot anywhere. There is no need to take risks.

As for the rebels...

Before the rise of Akatsuki, there were very few cases of assassinations of important figures in various countries, as not everyone had the strength of the people in Akatsuki.

Most rebel ninjas don't even have time to hide, let alone show their faces and do things that will put them in danger of being hunted down.

Konoha found a group of rebellious ninjas and killed them, but these rebellious ninjas were actually just there to make up the numbers.

Konoha was just pretending to give an explanation to the Daimyo. If it wasn't a big deal, the Daimyo wouldn't have investigated it too deeply and would have just let it go.

But after Daimyoji investigated further, he realized that these people were not the murderers at all.

The murderer might be sent by the Third Hokage.

The purpose is to scare him so that he will be more honest and peaceful.

Being assassinated by people sent by the Ninja Village, the daimyo was so scared that he had to crawl to Konoha to hide. This was a great shame and humiliation for him.

Although there is no evidence to prove that it was the Third Hokage who did it, he had the greatest motive, so it would be right to go after him directly.

Konoha is becoming more and more lively day by day.

A large number of anti-war villagers and ninjas gathered on the street in front of the Hokage's office building to protest. In the past, protests would only gather a group of people during the day and then disperse at night.

But this time it was different, because there were too many people protesting, so it turned into a rotation of protests. When one group got tired, another group would take over.

Faced with the situation where most of the villagers were angry, the Hokage Office did not even dare to drive these people away, and could only continue to issue announcements, hoping that everyone would understand.

When the villagers were unwilling to disperse, the Third Hokage had no choice but to give up.

Since we can't disperse them, nor can we force them to leave, let's just leave it as it is.

For now, this is all we can do.

The Third Hokage was in a state of panic, but Shizuka was as if nothing had happened. He either rested at home or went to the Anbu base to handle official business.

No matter how many people protest, it has little to do with the Anbu.

As long as the spies are not active and the Anbu has few tasks, Jingyi can go to work leisurely and be lazy. But it's a pity for the people in the police department, who are exhausted.

The villagers protested, and they needed to send a lot of people out to maintain order.

To prevent chaos, we not only need to maintain order, but also protect these people. During this period, everyone in the police department has been very busy.

Fortunately, Uchiha Mikoto has special privileges and does not need to patrol or do duty. She can just sit in the office and organize documents.

"Sir, this is some special intelligence that I have collected. There may be enemy spies operating in the village."

In the minister's office, Hatake Sakumo, wearing a mask, saluted formally and placed the intelligence scroll on the table.

Jingyi picked up the scroll and said helplessly: "Senior, there is no need to be so polite in the office."

Hatake Sakumo nodded and stood straight.

Seeing this, Jingyi didn't know what to say and could only follow him.

However, Hatake Sakumo is worthy of being the patriarch of the Hatake clan and the leader among the new generation of strong men in Konoha. Although he has not been in the Anbu for a long time, he has completed many more tasks than other team leaders.

Such speed made all the captains of the Anbu feel ashamed.

Considering Hatake Sakumo's strength, everyone can accept it in their hearts. They only feel envy, not jealousy.

You are so strong, you can do it too.

Judging from Hatake Sakumo's contributions, the time is not far for him to become the squadron leader.

All that is lacking is time and quantity of tasks.

“Eh…”

After opening the scroll and glancing at it for a few seconds, Jingyi, who was leaning against the back of the chair, sat up straight and made a sound of surprise.

"Senior, is the information accurate?"

"precise."

Hatake Sakumo nodded in response.

Jingyi lowered his head and read it carefully again. He was silent for a few seconds, then he slapped the table and laughed:

"Hahahaha, it looks like our Hokage is going to be in trouble. This is really adding insult to injury."

"........."

An embarrassed expression appeared on Hatake Sakumo's face behind his mask.

Is it really appropriate to laugh at the Hokage like this?

The protests against the war have caused the Third Hokage a lot of trouble. Until now, the ninjas to be sent into the battle have not been selected. As a result, people in the village began to spread the news that the Third Hokage embezzled public funds and misappropriated public funds to develop his own family.

No, not just his own family, but also the Shimura clan.

Who is the smart guy who spread this news? What a great time to pick.

Just when the Third Hokage was in a state of panic, he was still worrying about how to give an explanation to the villagers so that their anger could be quelled and then they would agree to let the village participate in the war.

As a result, before the problems here are solved, new troubles arise.

Jingyi could already imagine how much trouble the Third Hokage would face once the news spread.

"My Lord, is all this true?"

Hatake Sakumo's tone was a little uncertain.

Under the influence of Jingyi, he was convinced that the Third Hokage was not a good person, at least not as simple as he seemed on the surface.

But embezzling the village's financial funds to develop his own family and the Shimura clan is too fucking scary.

No wonder the village’s finances are not healthy; it was short of money before.

How much money was embezzled?

"Eight or nine out of ten."

Jingyi tried to hold back his laughter while answering this question, but he couldn't help laughing again.

It's not that he is not kind, it's just that the bad things of the Third Hokage were dug up and it really made people laugh.

It's really satisfying.

It's finally your turn.

If Jing wasn't afraid that Tsunade would have a hard time, she would have wanted to promote the Third Hokage a long time ago.

Now it's ok, someone has helped.

I hope the Third Hokage won’t be pissed off to death.

"Senior, I didn't see this information today." Jingyi put away the scroll and placed it neatly on the desk.

“Um… yes.”

Hatake Sakumo had already guessed what Shizuichi was planning to do. The Anbu didn't deal with these matters, at least not immediately. They needed to be prepared for some time.

Just be quiet for a few days and wait until the news spreads before dealing with it.

As for whether the Third Hokage would be brought down because of this, Jingyi didn't care.

The more unlucky the Third Hokage was, the happier he was.
