Chapter 691 False Hope
"Who in our clan can stop the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God?"
As if being silenced, Sarutobi Takaaki sat down without saying a word.
How could he not know this?
Anyone who can become an elder will not have cerebral palsy.
He had been following Sarutobi Hiruzen for a long time and didn't believe that Tsunade would let them go so easily.
For Sarutobi Takaaki, that was impossible. If he were Tsunade, he would definitely wipe out the entire Sarutobi clan.
I'm not taking action now, just because if I do it directly, I will encounter many obstacles.
After all, there are many people in the Sarutobi clan.
However, the skin of Sarutobi Hiruzen has been peeled off. As long as it continues to ferment, the reputation of the Sarutobi clan will rot sooner or later.
At that time, if you gave them any crime, you could even massacre the entire Sarutobi clan in an honest way.
This idea is not just his idea, but the idea of many Sarutobi clan members.
Therefore, even though some people were imprisoned, they were not tortured to extract confessions.
It still made everyone in the Sarutobi clan panic all day long.
But Sarutobi Takaaki felt that things were not that simple.
The top decision-maker of Konoha is not only the fifth Hokage Orochimaru, but also the fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato.
The outside world has no idea what roles they play.
But so far in this storm, some people have been deliberately left out.
The strongest core combat strength of the Sarutobi clan is the people who were previously incorporated into the ANBU.
Whether those people have sensitive identities or have not purchased real estate.
They were not imprisoned by Konoha, but were directly released back home.
Sarutobi Takaaki felt that there must be something wrong with this.
That's why he came up with a seemingly retarded idea.
Sarutobi Takaaki wanted to see where Asuma and Sarutobi Tsune stood.
Now it seems that Sarutobi Tsune and Asuma are not on the same page as him at all.
Sarutobi Takaaki's silence made Asuma soften his tone:
"Third Elder, our Sarutobi clan does not have anyone as strong as Natsuki Uchiha. Now we can only cooperate with Lord Hokage's investigation."
"The two Hokages will not embarrass us, and Tsunade-sama will not wait until now if she wants to take action."
Sarutobi Takaaki's mind was spinning, but he just said in a low voice:
"I understand, I will restrain my clansmen."
Sarutobi Takaaki is now guessing who is really responsible for this storm.
If Orochimaru takes action, this group of Anbu people will definitely be purged first.
But Orochimaru directly returned the person to the clan, which makes no sense at all.
And this part of the Sarutobi tribe in ANBU all followed Sarutobi's Chongming.
Asuma didn't even know this group of people existed.
The situation is serious now, and there are many things that he needs to figure out.
…
In the past few days, Sarutobi Chongming had received bad news from his clan.
Everyone in the Sarutobi clan is being investigated.
More and more people are being locked up.
But among the people under investigation, there were still no people from Sarutobi ANBU.
That night, Takaaki Sarutobi was looking through the assets of the Sarutobi clan.
Two "pops" suddenly appeared on the head.
Sarutobi Chongaki suddenly became alert: "Who!?"
The window suddenly opened, and a woman wearing ANBU clothes flashed in.
"Sarutobi Takaaki, Hokage-sama wants to see you."
The ANBU took off his mask and it turned out to be Anko.
Sarutobi Takaaki's eyes flashed, and I knew it!
"yes!!"
After using the transformation technique, he quietly followed Hongdou out in the night.
Anko and Sarutobi Takaaki kept jumping on the roof of the building, and kept avoiding the patrolling personnel.
Sarutobi Takaaki, as a hawkish member of the Sarutobi tribe, is not the kind of person who just eats and waits to die.
Although he is over fifty years old, he has not lost his skills.
Always following Anko closely.
Seeing that Hongdou had been avoiding the patrol officers, there were many guesses in his heart.
Anko was familiar with the patrol route.
The journey was uneventful and we arrived near Orochimaru's laboratory.
Anko led Sarutobi Takaaki all the way underground.
Came to a secret room.
Orochimaru is already waiting for him here.
"See you, Hokage-sama."
Sarutobi Takaaki hurriedly paid tribute to Orochimaru, with some excitement on his face.
There was no expression on Orochimaru's face, but he nodded slightly: "It seems that you are not without brains."
"I'm satisfied that the Sarutobi ANBU people didn't go out to cause trouble for me."
Sarutobi Takaaki lowered his head and felt his heart beating loudly. It seemed that the Sarutobi clan had really turned around.
Sarutobi Takaaki said: "Hokage-sama, what on earth is going on?"
Orochimaru snorted: "Minato will step you down, and I will have no arms."
Sarutobi Takaaki was horrified. Could it be that the two generations of Hokage were fighting for power? ?
Sarutobi Takaaki was also puzzled: "The resurrection of the Fourth Hokage?"
Orochimaru glanced at him:
"Do you think I would resurrect a Hokage specifically to compete with me for power?"
Sarutobi Takaaki didn't dare to say anything. This was something he couldn't figure out.
But now it seems there are other stories inside.
Orochimaru deceived, "Minato's resurrection has nothing to do with me."
"It's very complicated. You just need to know that it's not that simple for Uchiha to leave Konoha."
"Minato and Tsunade are now a unified force."
"I have already buried a lot of the old man's messy things. They have no evidence. Time has changed."
"But now that Kushina and Kato Dan are resurrected, things are not that simple."
"The old man's bottom is dirty, which makes me very passive, especially since Kushina has so many inheritances, and you didn't even tell me a single thing."
Sarutobi Chongming was very embarrassed:
"Hokage-sama, I don't know about this either. After all, Hiruzen-sama didn't make any explanation before his death."
Orochimaru snorted: "Minato has been preparing for this for a long time. It was Minato's plan to sell the five streets to you on loan."
"Now that he is using Kushina to resurrect, he can legitimately claim back the property that you have used over the years."
"Even I can't protect you, I can only draw clear boundaries for you."
"I can only secretly protect Sarutobi ANBU's people for you."
Sarutobi Takaaki lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Hokage-sama, for taking care of me."
After all, so far, no one from the Sarutobi clan has died, and their strongest combat power is still within the clan.
Nowadays, many people are arrested, but most of them go to jail or lose money.
Orochimaru waved his hand: "There are other people behind Minato. Now it's not just Minato who wants you to die."
"They are plotting this now, so just stay back."
"I will kill a group of your Sarutobi tribesmen in a while. Find some with unclean hands and draw up a list for me."
Sarutobi Takaaki's heart trembled, knowing that Orochimaru was going to make a show with the lives of his fellow Sarutobi clan members.
"Yes, Hokage-sama, I understand."
