Chapter 619: bad news coming one after another

 Chapter 619 The bad news that comes one after another

“We found some secret scrolls. According to the contents, Danzo-sama seems to have cooperated with an unknown force and the Rain Ninja Village to kill Sosuke.”

The ANBU ninja reported while handing the scroll he found to Sarutobi Hiruzen with both hands.

"The unknown force...could it be related to Uchiha Madara?" Hiruzen Sarutobi thought of Uchiha Madara for a moment, but his expression was calm.

Before the investigation is clear, the information about "Uchiha Madara" cannot be leaked, otherwise it will cause conflicts.

The Uchiha clan has a history of coups, and now the death of Shimura Danzo is inexplicably related to the name "Uchiha Madara".

Not to mention those ninjas who were already prejudiced against the Uchiha clan, even Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but have some doubts about the Uchiha clan.

He does not think that the entire Uchiha has a problem, but he thinks that there is a high probability of "Uchiha Madara" among the Uchiha clan.

For the sake of the harmony and stability of Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not want others to know this information, including the other two high-ranking Konoha officials.

Sarutobi Hiruzen opened the scroll and instantly recognized that it was Shimura Danzo's handwriting. It was a secret scroll written by Shimura Danzo himself.

Sarutobi Hiruzen read all the scrolls carefully and then nodded and asked the ANBU to step back.

There is very little information about unknown forces in it, and there are no words related to "Uchiha Madara". It is mainly about some arrangements of Shimura Danzo to encircle and kill Soyousuke.

Before finding Sarutobi Hiruzen, the cautious Mu Yue had already conducted a large-scale investigation. What Sarutobi Hiruzen could know was what Mu Yue wanted him to know.

For example, the scroll that said it helped Danzo Shimura obtain the Wood Release was immediately dealt with by Mu Yue.

"untie!"

When there was no one in the office, Hiruzen Sarutobi condensed the chakra seal, and the words on the scroll twisted rapidly and changed.

To outsiders, this was just an ordinary secret scroll, but after reading it carefully, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been Shimura Danzo's old friend for decades, discovered different information in it.

"Hiruzen, if you saw this secret scroll, I should have been killed." This was the first sentence that caught Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes.

"Oh." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed deeply.

If Danzo Shimura had not died, he would indeed not have been able to discover the secret volume. After all, if Danzo Shimura had been alive, he would not have been able to let the ANBU search the root of it.

"This operation is very dangerous. Even if I am fully prepared, there is still a risk of death, but I have to go. If it succeeds, Konoha will have one less big hidden danger, and I can also find out some details about Uchiha Madara. ”

Seeing the words "Uchiha Madara", Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes focused.

"Uchiha Madara is very powerful. Even in the most secret places of his roots, he can come and go at will. He also has considerable power in the ninja world."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little surprised that co-writing "Uchiha Madara" was actually a collaboration he discussed with Danzo Shimura in Konoha?

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned. The ANBU's defense was not much stronger than that of the root. "Uchiha Madara" could come and go at will in the root, so he could come and go freely in the ANBU.

"How did he hide the great barrier?" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked a little unhappy.

The entire Konoha is shrouded in a huge barrier. Whether you enter through the gate, drill into the ground, or fly down from the sky, you should be discovered by the great barrier.

"The Uchiha clan is not worthy of trust, and Uchiha Madara is absolutely inseparable from them."

Sarutobi Hiruzen could feel Danzo Shimura's suspicion of Uchiha just from his handwriting, which was why he wanted to prevent the leakage of information.

This information is too detrimental to unity.

"Uchiha Madara can kill even me who is fully prepared. He must be plotting against Konoha. We must keep an eye on Koharu, Mito Kaden and Orochimaru to prevent Uchiha Madara from using them to destroy Konoha."

"Hiruzhan, protect Konoha."

At this point, the content of the scroll is completely over.

Sarutobi Hiruzen rubbed his wrinkled forehead. He could feel the threat of "Uchiha Madara" from Shimura Danzo's words.

However, Shimura Danzo himself did not know much about "Uchiha Madara", and naturally there was not much exact information about "Uchiha Madara" in the scroll. Most of them were speculations based on the current situation.

"Besides, Danzo, you are too trusting." Sarutobi Hiruzen was helpless.

According to Mu Yue's information, Danzo Shimura was killed by Soyousuke, and in this scroll, Danzo Shimura believed that as long as he died, it must be an underhanded move by "Madara Uchiha".

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a while, put away the scroll, called the ANBU, and ordered: "Inform Mu Yue to come to the Hokage's office."

The ANBU nodded, walked out of the office, and quickly hurried to find Mu Yue, and took Mu Yue back to the Hokage's office.

"Sandaime-sama." Mu Yue said with respect, maybe because he didn't sleep well last night or something, but there was a look of exhaustion on his face that was difficult to conceal.

"Thank you for your hard work. This happened while we were still in class today." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.

Although Mu Yue did not report Shimura Danzo immediately in this incident, Mu Yue's various performances and actions made Sarutobi Hiruzen even more satisfied with Mu Yue.

"It's just a few hours of classes, it won't affect anything, and you, Sandaime-sama, are still working, how can I stagnate because of this." Mu Yue said seriously.

"No wonder Danzo wants to hand over the root to you. When he first created the root, he worked just as hard as you do now." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.

After exchanging a few words, Sarutobi Hiruzen handed the scroll to Mu Yue.

Mu Yue is currently the only ninja in Konoha who knows the existence of "Uchiha Madara" besides him, and he also has an extraordinary relationship with Shimura Danzo. Sarutobi Hiruzen believes that Mu Yue has the right to know.

Mu Yue looked surprised after reading the scroll, "Madara Uchiha actually entered Konoha!"

Of course, he was pretending.

Mu Yue already knew the content of this scroll.

His sealing technique has long surpassed Kushina's, and he also has extraordinary perceptive abilities such as his white eyes that see through the world. How could he not detect the manipulations Danzo Shimura made on the scroll.

But because the hidden content of this scroll would not affect Mu Yue's layout, he did not deal with it.

With Madara Uchiha drawing firepower, Konoha would not pay so much attention to the Ninja Sect.

Mu Yue could only say that Danzo Shimura was really cautious. Even if he wrote the secret volume himself, he would not write out all the information because of the risk of exposure. He did not write about the wood escape and reincarnation eye at all, as if he was just to get rid of it. It's the same as losing Sosuke.

This kind of person will probably become sincere only when he gives his last words.

"Please describe in detail the scene you saw at that time. Is it really only Sosuke who killed Danzo?" Hiruzen Sarutobi said.

Since Shimura Danzo was in the secret volume, he was sure that his death would be related to "Uchiha Madara". Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that Soyousuke might be related to "Uchiha Madara".

Maybe this incident was the plan of Soyousuke and "Madara Uchiha".

"Only Soyousuke and Danzo-sama are fighting, the rest are far away, and there are no traces of action." Mu Yue nodded and said.

Shimura Danzo underestimated Soyousuke and overestimated himself and Uchiha Madara.

"In this way..." Sarutobi Hiruzen looked thoughtful. Danzo Shimura's was just speculation, and the information given by Mu Yue was reality. Of course, speculation must be based on Mu Yue's information.

However, according to Muyue's information, many of Danzo Shimura's ideas revealed problems.

"It's time to recruit new members to your training team. It's ridiculous to have only one member all the time." Suddenly Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of something and said.

"Although Shisui is young, he is steady and a good talent."

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that there was something wrong with Uchiha, but at this juncture, if Anbu openly investigated Uchiha, something would happen, so he thought of a good way, that is, to use Uchiha to defeat Uchiha.

Mu Yue's two Uchiha disciples can 100% believe that if Obito's character was not suitable for staying in ANBU, Sarutobi Hiruzen was ready to let the two of them join ANBU together.

"Shisui does have the talent to become an Anbu." Mu Yue nodded and replied.

He guessed Sarutobi Hiruzen's purpose, but this was not bad for Shisui.

The Uchiha problem involves too many aspects, and it cannot be completely solved within the Uchiha clan. It must take into consideration both within the clan and outside the clan.

Mu Yue's idea was to make the training team a springboard for Shisui, to hone his abilities, and also to brush up his resume.

Also becoming an Anbu, Shisui's situation was different from Itachi's.

First of all, Itachi entered the ordinary Anbu, while Shisui entered Muyue's exclusive training team, which can basically be regarded as Muyue's Anbu.

As a teacher, Mu Yue would definitely not let his disciples suffer.

After giving some guiding opinions on the subsequent development of the training team, Mu Yue left the Hokage's office. Hiruzen Sarutobi continued to handle official duties and arranged for the ANBU to continue investigating.

This time it was not just Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen began to investigate the Kingdom of Rain.

As the place where Danzo Shimura died, the Country of Rain will definitely have relevant information that he currently does not have.

However, before the ANBU could investigate the important news related to the death of Shimura Danzo, bad news arrived one after another in the hands of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"The news of Danzo-sama's death has been leaked!"

"There is something strange happening in the clouds in the Kingdom of Tang!"

"The number of spies in the Fire Nation has increased sharply recently!"

boom!

Just when Sarutobi Hiruzen was worried about the situation getting worse day by day, the wooden door of the Hokage's office was pushed open directly, and Koharu, who was sleeping, walked into the Hokage's office together with Mito Monen.

"Hiruzen, Danzo is dead!" Mito Kadenen said sadly.

His relationship with Shimura Danzo is not as close as Shimura Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen, but they are not strangers. They have been together through life and death, and they often attend meetings related to the future of Konoha together.

When such a fellow traveler dies, even if Mito Kadeni criticizes some of Shimura Danzo's political opinions, he will inevitably feel a little sad.

"I know." Sarutobi Hiruzen rubbed his forehead and sighed.

He had done such a good job of keeping the secret secret, but now that the news was flying everywhere, it could only be Soyousuke or "Madara Uchiha" who was taking action.

"You know why you didn't tell us earlier." Xiaochun was a little dissatisfied when he went to bed.

"Danzo is a member of our senior management after all."

Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression, she knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen must have gotten the news a long time ago.

After all, Sarutobi Hiruzen has always had a good relationship with Shimura Danzo. After learning that his friend died, Sarutobi Hiruzen shouldn't be so calm.

"This matter is very complicated. I originally wanted to investigate some information before informing you." Sarutobi Hiruzen explained briefly.

There were too many things involved in Shimura Danzo's death, and "Uchiha Madara" acted too fast, which ultimately led to this situation.

"Let's go to the conference room." Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up and said.

At this point, he could only tell some information.

In the conference room, Sarutobi Hiruzen handed over the confidential information he had recently collected to his advisors for viewing, and at the same time explained to them about Shimura Danzo.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not expose the existence of "Uchiha Madara", but only said that an evil ninja organization was obstructing it.

"It's so stupid. We didn't report such important information to the village, but acted privately!" Xiaochun couldn't control his emotions when he went to bed.

She now wished she could slap Danzo Shimura's corpse, and even commit suicide, which would put Konoha into a crisis.

"Ahem, Koharu, Danzo has sacrificed his life for the village after all." Mito Kabuto coughed twice to remind him.

Danzo Shimura was stupid, but the dead man was the most important, so scolding him now is not a good idea.

When Koharu went to bed, she realized that Hiruzen Sarutobi was looking at her with an ugly expression.

Thinking of the relationship between the two, Koharu silently closed his mouth after going to bed. Don't worry about the dead Shimura Danzo, but the living Sarutobi Hiruzen is still the same Hokage who always speaks the truth.

"Kumogakure informed Orochimaru to be careful, and then sent some additional ninjas to patrol the border."

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't say anything to Koharu who was sleeping in bed, but turned the topic to the specific method of handling it.

"We have to defeat Kumogakure's spirit and let others know that we, Konoha, are invincible." Mito Kadoen nodded in approval.

Why would Yunyin take action at this time? It's just that I think this is an opportunity.

What Konoha has to do is to crush Kumogakure's ideas and let others know how powerful Konoha is, so that the storm caused by Shimura Danzo's death will dissipate.

Of course, if Konoha shows cowardice in this process, then it may not just be Kumogakure. Beating up the drowned dog is something many people are willing to do.

After the meeting, it was almost time to get off work, but Hiruzen Sarutobi did not go home immediately. Instead, he returned to the Hokage's office and stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window looking down at Konoha.

"We have to put an extra burden on Mu Yue." Hiruzen Sarutobi put down his pipe and blew out wisps of white smoke.

Originally, he wanted Mu Yue's training team to develop naturally, but now that the situation has become increasingly chaotic, he needs a stronger ANBU.

PS: I seem to be feeling better today, my head is no longer dizzy.

I haven't dared to turn on the air conditioner for the past two days, which almost caused me to lose heat.

If you don't turn on the air conditioner in Guangdong in July, it will be a silent stay.
