Chapter 68

"This amount is too large. I am a negotiating envoy, not a treasury!"

The Rock Ninja envoy resisted the urge to kill Uchiha Makoto and planned to use a delaying tactic to deal with him for a while.

Then he would take this opportunity to cause internal strife in Konoha and make profits from it.

"If you are not sincere, then we will handle the negotiation meeting tomorrow in a businesslike manner." Uchiha Makoto took back the two contracts and said with a sneer, "Goodbye, you two."

After saying that, he left their residence without giving the envoys a chance to regret.

On the other side, after hearing that an unknown creature had invaded the village, the Hokage immediately convened a meeting of all the senior officials.

Danzo paid close attention to Orochimaru, thinking about what kind of benefits he could use to make him take action against Uchiha Makoto, so as not to arouse suspicion and not waste the value of a pair of Sharingan.

He had not communicated with the roots for too long, and he might have forgotten his identity!

"What do you think about the invasion of unknown creatures?"

The Third Hokage asked seriously, which made all the people who were originally careless take it seriously.

"Only Uchiha Makoto discovered the invasion of unknown people. This is too coincidental. It's a conspiracy!"

No matter whether there is evidence or not, Danzo, as long as it is related to Uchiha, it is a conspiracy!

"And Nara Tomokazu, they discovered the enemy together and prepared to catch the enemy with tactics, but the process was interrupted by the Anbu, causing the enemy to escape."

Hatake Sakumo frowned. He was dissatisfied with Danzo's nonsense and had no good feelings for this high-level person.

"Yes, it was discovered by those two children," the Third Hokage slowly spoke and asked Nara Shikaku beside him for his opinion: "What do you think? Shikaku!"

Shikaku, who was named, was pulled back to reality from his thinking. What does he think?

Did the Third Hokage mean to ask him about the credibility of Nara Tomokazu or who sent the invaders?

It's hard to say either way. He recently learned about Nara Tomokazu's situation. He can't guarantee that he can be absolutely loyal to the Nara clan, but he doesn't have the courage to do anything that will harm Konoha's interests.

He has performed mediocrely on the battlefield in the past two years, but none of his teammates who have worked with him survived except Uchiha Makoto and Hinata Yuan.

He can't guarantee that this has nothing to do with him, but he can't be so blatant to doubt his own clan members.

As for the invaders, he is even less clear. According to the description of the Anbu, it was a black mass with two eyes. It went into the ground like mud and disappeared. It was more bizarre than a dream.

The village dispatched several earth escape ninjas and perception ninjas. They dug three feet in the place they said but found no clues, and there was not even a trace of the use of the technique.

"Hokage-sama, the enemy is in the dark while we are in the light. After all, it was Uchiha Makoto who discovered the enemy. Why not ask him to come and ask how he discovered the enemy and what he thinks about this matter."

Nara Shikaku suggested this, and he wanted to talk to Uchiha Makoto about his plan after the meeting.

He had been dealing with the delegation many times in the past few days, but the other party had no intention of relenting, and seemed to have an attitude that if they could just kill us, they would continue the war.

"Well, call that kid Tomokazu as well."

The Third Hokage agreed with Nara Shikaku's statement. After all, it was Uchiha Makoto and his team that discovered the enemy. It was hard to say how they discovered the enemy, but they wanted to catch the enemy, and it was indeed because of the intervention of the Anbu that the enemy escaped.

"Hokage, Uchiha is proficient in illusions. How can you guarantee that they are not under illusions? This is Uchiha's conspiracy." Seeing this, Danzo repeatedly stabbed and argued, looking at Orochimaru from time to time.

"Uchiha Makoto's illusion technique is not outstanding. He is a comprehensive ninja."

Orochimaru held his chin and said a few words to avoid the main point. If possible, he would like to seal Uchiha Makoto in the laboratory to help him do experiments, and no one should see him.

Comprehensive ninja, Hatake Sakumo first glanced at Orochimaru, this statement is very meaningful.

Being a comprehensive ninja means being good at everything, without any special skills, and it is also understood that being proficient in everything makes it difficult to say which one is the best.

Hatake Sakumo also agreed with this statement, and he agreed more with the latter.

"Indeed, Uchiha Makoto is a comprehensive ninja."

No one refuted what Hatake Sakumo said. He is the most fair in people's hearts, and his character is beyond words. No one would doubt that he would deliberately favor Uchiha Makoto.

When Uchiha Makoto and Nara Tomokazu came to the meeting room of the response office building, half of the senior executives were arguing, and the other half were in a daze.

"Hokage-sama! All the lords!"

"Hokage-sama! Orochimaru-sama, Sakumo-sama, Jiraiya-sama, all the...unknown lords!"

Jiraiya smiled, good boy, I knew heI'm sure to make a fool of myself when I come here, and at the same time I'm narcissistic, and I'm proud of being called by name.

"You should know the purpose of coming here." The Third Hokage was very serious. This was related to the safety of Konoha, and he was willing to put aside his prejudice and listen to what Uchiha Makoto said.

"I know, you want to know how I found out that there were unknown people. I also want to know why the Anbu ninjas suddenly appeared to stop us from catching the enemy. Are they spies? After all, the few people who came to catch me at the order of the group, what the hell is the group, are they the same group?"

Uchiha Makoto glanced at everyone present, and deliberately used his peripheral vision to stay on Danzo for a moment, and then made a pitiful look.

"It's just that I haven't been to school and my strength is poor. If I can be like Lord Orochimaru, I can catch the invader even if there are more Anbu to stop me."

Hatake Sakumo:... I suspect you are implying that my Kakashi is rubbish!

Hatake Sakumo, Orochimaru, and Nara Shikaku all tried not to laugh, but Jiraiya couldn't help laughing. He was glared at by the Third Hokage and it took him a long time to stop laughing.

"Uchiha Masaru, I suspect you are colluding with unknown invaders to harm Konoha." Danzo was so angry that his hands were shaking, and there was also the money that was sent for no reason.

"Why do you suspect me? This... sir, what is your name?" Uchiha Masaru looked embarrassed, pretending not to know who he was.

Seeing this, the Third Hokage was afraid that someone would let the cat out of the bag. "This is the head of the Shimura clan, Shimura Cangzang! He is my old classmate and he is a little excited for Konoha."

"Oh, Cangzang, why do you doubt me? I have never left my house since I was a child. I have no money and have never been to school. I have no friends except Chihe Jun and Hinata Yuan. How could I collude with unknown invaders? What's more, I am socially anxious!"

Uchiha Makoto's hands collapsed, and he pulled out a chair and sat next to Orochimaru. In his heart, he had already admired the Third Hokage and Danzo. They were so awesome that they even changed their names!

Then there was another burst of laughter.

Although Orochimaru had no expression on his face, his shaking hands under the table betrayed that he was not as calm as he seemed.

The Third Hokage held his forehead. Why was he led astray? His old friend beside him had already revealed murderous intent. He hurriedly stopped him and said, "Cangzang, I know you are overworked and in poor health. You can go and rest first. I will find you later."
