Chapter 199: The

Generally speaking, it is normal for a ninja to defect in the ninja villages of various countries. Since the emergence of the ninja village system, there have been defections in any ninja village. It is just a difference in quantity and quality. Of course, for people outside the five major countries, For the Ninja Village, the defection of the Jonin was indeed a major event.

Not to mention, the person who defected from Takigakure Village this time was originally a person who held an important position in the village - Shisha.

There was a time when there was hope of ascending to the throne of leader.

The defection of such a jounin would have an extremely bad impact on Takigakure Village.

Moreover, there is still a vague rumor in the village that Shisha's defection was forced by the current leader Shibaki, and it seems to involve the core interests of the village and so on.

It is also because of this that the young leader Shibuki's position in Takigakure Village has become slightly more delicate.

Especially before Shisha left, he said he would come back as soon as possible to correct the village's mistakes.

This caused some people in the village to have different ideas.

If it weren't for the fact that Shibaki is the grandson of the previous leader.

He has also been recognized by the previous leader, and now he does have the strong support of a group of people. His position as leader has long been unstable. Even so, Shibuki now has a feeling of being on a hot pot. I feel like an ant.

"Ajun-san, still haven't found the whereabouts of the hookah?"

Longyin Village, in the political hall.

Sitting on the main seat, Shimu looked anxiously at a middle-aged man with a rough face in front of him, and asked urgently.

Two days have passed since the news of Shisha's defection was confirmed.

During these two days.

Shenmu was suffering more than anyone else.

Such a situation in the village is really not what Shenmu wants to see.

"No, leader, we have searched all around the village and there is no trace at all."

The middle-aged man, Taki Shinobi, shook his head and said.

"how so?"

Shimu's face looked very ugly.

When a high-level executive in a village defectes, the most direct way to deal with it is of course to capture him as soon as possible, or to kill him on the spot. Even if it will have a certain degree of negative impact, at least it will not shake the basic interests of the village. His leadership position will be shaken.

But now that Shisha has successfully defected, the remaining problems have become very serious.

Hookah.

That was no ordinary Taki-nin.

There is still a certain degree of prestige in Takigakure Village, otherwise no one would have regarded Shisha as one of the strong candidates for the next leader of Takigakure Village.

Now that such a jounin has defected, and it is 'heard' that he was forced to leave by the current leader, it would be strange if there is no unrest in the village.

This is like Tsunade being in power and forcing Jiraiya to defect.

Therefore, it is quite normal for Shi Mu to be questioned.

"This should be the result of help from people inside the village and help from outside. Otherwise, it would be impossible for hookah to erase all traces in such a short period of time."

Ah Jun also said with a solemn expression.

As a confidant of the previous leader and a favored one by the previous leader, Ajun, although he was not very optimistic about Shenmu, but now that Shenmu has become the leader of this generation in Takigakure Village, Ajun must fully support Shenmu. .

In Ajun's view, this is an unquestionable matter of principle.

"Inside and outside?"

Shenmu's handsome face also showed a very uncomfortable expression. For this village, Shenmu felt that he had worked very hard, but why were there still so many people who didn't believe in him and were unwilling to support him? Woolen cloth?

For a moment, Shibuki even felt that it was a mistake for him to take over the position of village leader?

Otherwise, why would it have reached this point?

But this idea was thrown out of Shenmu's mind in just a moment. Although Shenmu was young and immature and immature, he was definitely not an idiot.

There is no way to cede the position of leader.

Not to mention that he still inherited the expectations of the previous generation of leaders and his grandfather.

Even for this reason, he couldn't back down.

"Then we will intensify the investigation and issue a pursuit order. We must find the hookah in the shortest possible time. We must see the person alive and the body after death. In addition, it must be inside..."

Shenmu first showed a look of determination, and then a look of hesitation appeared on his face as if he thought of something.

After taking a deep breath, he planned to say something else.

"Peng!"

suddenly.

There was a loud bang outside the door.

A slightly petite figure strode in.

"What happened to Uncle Shisha's rebellion against the village!? Brother Shimu, is it true that he was forced to leave by you as the village said?"

Short blue-green hair, dark skin, and orange pupils.

This petite figure is none other than the person in charge of the highest combat power in Takigakure Village, the Seven-Tails Jinchuuriki, a girl named Fu.

The moment Shibuki saw Fu, he first smiled.

When he heard Fu's words, his expression froze.

Taki Ren, a young man who followed Fu in, also showed a look of anxiety when he heard Fu's words.

He quickly walked to Fu's side: "Fu, how can you be rude to the leader!?"

Fu seemed not to have heard the words of this young Taki-nin, and still looked at Shibaki so stubbornly, as if she would not give up until Shibuki gave her an explanation.

Shibuki rubbed his forehead, sighed softly, waved his hand and said, "Echizen, there's no need to be like this, Fu is just like my sister, don't be so reserved."

Shimu's words were really not polite words.

As an existence only a few years older than Fu, Fu has been following him since childhood.

He had been taught by his fathers since he was young that he must treat Fu as his own sister. Of course, at that time, Shibuki had not yet realized the importance of the 'jinchuuriki'.

When I grew up, I certainly understood this.

But the feelings between each other are also very deep.

In addition, Shemu is not the kind of person with a strong official authority, and it is even less likely that he will show the so-called leadership style in front of Fu.

"Brother Shimu, I know you are the leader of the village now, and the things you have to consider are definitely different from before, but Uncle Shisha is different. I just want to get an accurate answer from you, what is going on? "

Fu raised her head, looked straight at Shibaki, and asked in the most serious tone.

"Fu, what happened this time was hookah..."

Ah Jun, who was sitting nearby, was also obviously dissatisfied with Fu's attitude.

With a slight frown, he opened his mouth to say something.

"Ajun-san."

It was interrupted by Shibaki waving his hand.

Soon after.

Shibuki looked at Fu with a very serious expression and said: "Fu, please believe me, I definitely did not do those things that are reported outside. Shisha chose to betray the village. Of course, there may be something wrong here. Is there any misunderstanding, but everything can’t be confirmed until we find the hookah!”
