Chapter 400 400 Who leaked it! ?

When he pointed at Tsunade's nose and shouted these words, Jiraiya himself actually had a chill running down his spine.

Among the three of them, only Tsunade has now reached the Kage level, while he and Orochimaru are still at the quasi-Kage level.

Moreover, since he was a child, Jiraiya had no idea how many fists he had received from Tsunade, which had already cast a shadow on him.

However, to Jiraiya's relief, the drunken Tsunade stared at him for a while, leaving only "leave me alone" and left without looking back.

"call--"

Jiraiya breathed out a cowardly breath, turned to look at Orochimaru who had been silent from the beginning to now with a resentful look on his face, and said dissatisfied: "Hey! Orochimaru! Why didn't you say a few words just now?"

"What did you say? It's normal for people to die."

Orochimaru said with no expression on his face.

He also turned around and walked in the other direction, turning his back to Jiraiya and said, "I'll leave if it's okay."

Looking at the two people walking away in opposite directions, Jiraiya slumped his shoulders and said, "They are really two cold-blooded guys."

Just when the senior staff were quarreling over the selection of the successor to the Fourth Hokage.

Suddenly, the news of the death of the third Hokage Uchiha Izuna spread quietly in Konoha.

For a moment, this rumor, which I don’t know if it was a rumor or not, was like a thunder, hitting all the villagers and ninjas in Konoha on the forehead!

Who is Uchiha Izuna?

He is not just the shadow of a village.

He is the strongest person in the ninja world!

His existence symbolizes the peace and prosperity of Konoha, and represents the certainty that there is no possibility of failure in the war!

What will happen to Konoha if he dies?

No one dares to imagine!

For a moment, everyone in Konoha was panicked.

Many villagers even went directly to the downstairs of the Hokage Building or the entrance of the Uchiha clan, trying to catch a glimpse of Izuna to confirm whether the other party was alive or dead.

In just a few days, the two places in Konoha Village were overcrowded.

Located in the underground location of the Shinobu, Konoha's underground ANBU base.

Bang!

Konoha White Fang, who was wearing a white fox mask, slapped his desk hard, frightening the other subordinates wearing masks to tremble.

"Why did the Sandaime-sama's death leak out? Can anyone give me an explanation!?"

White Fang made an angry sound.

None of the lowly people dared to reply. After a while, one person signaled: "Lord White Fang, we should investigate immediately and find a way to deal with the villagers' turmoil."

After gritting his teeth, White Fang finally calmed down, waved his hand and ordered: "Convene the highest decision-making group to discuss this matter."

Soon, the seven decision-making elders representing Konoha's highest authority came to the highest conference room of the Hokage Building with a few confidants who knew the truth of the incident.

When they came in, they found that the entrance to the Hokage Building was blocked by a huge crowd of villagers, making it impossible to get in through ordinary methods.

After a while, the elder of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Nara clan chief, the elder of the medical department, Senju Tsunade, the elder of the education department, Uchiha Ise, and others arrived one after another.

"What's going on? Why did the teacher's death from illness leak out!?"

As soon as the representatives arrived at the conference room, the fiery-tempered Tsunade slammed the table and almost smashed the round table in the conference room.

"Calm down, Princess Tsunade—"

A cold voice sounded. Although he addressed Tsunade with an honorific, his tone sounded more like he was coaxing a child.

Everyone turned to look and found Danzo Shimura standing next to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Just listen to Shimura Danzo continue: "Since the death of the Third Hokage has been known to the villagers, what we have to do now is not to pursue these matters, but to take precautions before they happen. Countries will soon know the news and will send troops to deal with it. The Fire Nation has launched a war, and as the daughter of a daimyo, you should understand this very well."

"You old thing, you are not on the decision-making team, what qualifications do you have..."

Tsunade was about to retort, but unexpectedly Uchiha Ise, the elder of the Education Department, also spoke up, "Yes, although the guy who leaked the death of Izuna-sama is unforgivable, now we must think from Konoha's perspective."

Uchiha Ise continued: "In the past, countries did not dare to do anything untoward against Konoha because of the suppression of Izuna-sama. Now this news will definitely be conveyed back by spies from various countries. The first thing we have to do is to prevent them from possible attacks at any time. The attack is coming.”

With that said, Uchiha Ise turned to face the masked White Fang, "White Fang, your ANBU is responsible for investigating this matter."

White Fang nodded, and Uchiha Ise then said to Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Chief Sarutobi, your intelligence department is responsible for infiltrating various countries and observing the first trends of each country."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded solemnly.

Uchiha Ise was the oldest and oldest person present.

He also has extremely rich war experience.

Under such circumstances, even though he was not Hokage, most people were still willing to follow his advice.

After quickly assigning their respective tasks, how to explain the last point to the villagers.

The unanimous decision adopted by everyone was to delay.

There is no way, the matter has been leaked, we can't bite the bullet and say "The Third Hokage is not dead, he is alive and well".

Although it can be concealed for a while, it will be exposed soon.

And it will be even more troublesome to deal with it afterwards.

But you can't say things like "The Third Hokage is dead".

Then the entire ninja world will surely riot.

The big powers that are ready to move will definitely launch an attack on Konoha.

The only way left is to delay.

In such a tense situation, Tsunade could no longer continue to drink and gamble leisurely.

And in less than a month at most, Bai Ya will be his father, and he won’t have time to spend time with his wife and children.

As the captain of the ANBU, he was even more busy.

In the rapid preparations of the major ninja departments in Konoha, this news was inevitably fed back to their countries through the spies sent to Konoha by various countries.

Whether it is the third Tsuchikage Onoki Liangshou, the third Raikage or the second Tsuchikage.

After hearing the news, they were all shocked.

Uchiha Izuna is dead! ?

To be honest, when they heard the news, they were so scared that their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

But if you think about it carefully, it's not entirely impossible.

A few years ago, news had spread that Uchiha Izuna was seriously ill.

For several years, Uchiha Izuna did not appear on the frontline battlefield.

It wasn't until the Third Ninja War was about to end that he went to the front line in person and instantly killed Amegakure's demigod "Sansho Hanzo".

That battle made the entire ninja world realize once again that the aging tiger still has residual power.

After that, he retreated again and disappeared for nearly a year.

Considering Uchiha Izuna's powerful intimidation power, the possibility of Konoha's secret mourning is not small.

Could it be that this time, the last of the [Three Heroes of the Warring States Period] finally fell?
