Chapter 69: The cross-examination in the Hokage's office!
The former squad leader of the Jonin Class, the current squad leader of the Analysis Class, and a direct subordinate of the Second Hokage.
The leaders of the three clans of Ino, Deer and Butterflies traveled together, and the accompanying team was also suspected of carrying two corpses...
Even the Uchiha Police Force, which is responsible for the security of Konoha, did not dare to stop and interrogate this team at will, and let the other side go. Smooth traffic in Konoha Village.
As for Nara Langui and Yakushi Nonoyu, who were silently following the big bosses, they were naturally ignored by the crowd, even though they were the victims of this incident... The Inoludie team was
very Quickly arrived under the Hokage building.
After a formal briefing, the Inokadie team arrived at the Hokage's office on the top floor of the Hokage Building very smoothly.
"Takefeng, Shikano, Hairen, Shikaku."
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting behind his desk, frowned and called out the names of several big bosses in order of familiarity. He ignored them like everyone else. The existence of Nara and Lan Gui was missing.
"What are you doing?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen focused his eyes on the body that Akimichi Tifeng was carrying with him.
With the third generation Hokage's perception and observation ability, he could naturally discern that the person behind Yamanaka Hito was just in a coma.
"The name of this ninja is Arata Shimura."
Akimichi Tofu threw the body in his hand onto the floor of the Hokage's office.
In the early years, he had been teammates with Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Therefore, the conversation between the two does not need to be too polite.
"Hiruzhan, you should know the meaning of this name."
Sarutobi Hiruzen really grasped the key point and frowned even more tightly, "Shimura..."
The Shimura clan was one of the first ninja clans to join Konoha in the early years. .
And the leader of the Shimura clan - without a doubt - Shimura Danzo!
'Why would Tofu bring the body of a Shimura clan ninja to the Hokage's office? '
Sarutobi Hiruzen was constantly thinking in his mind.
'And the comatose ninja behind Hai Ren... What the hell is going on! ? '
'The leaders of the three pig, deer, and butterfly tribes were dispatched at the same time. Why couldn't they get any information before? "
Yes, that guy Danzo is from the Shimura clan."
Akimichi Tifeng nodded, and then turned his attention to the Yamanaka Hairen.
The latter stepped forward with understanding and gently put down the mountain forest behind him.
"Third generation sir."
Compared to Qiudao Fengfeng, the attitude of Shanzhong Hairen was much more polite.
"This is the Jonin of our Yamanaka clan, Yamanaka Lin.
"As far as I know, Yamanaka Lin joined the ANBU many years ago.
"I know her. " "
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Yamanaka Lin,
who showed no signs of waking up, and nodded lightly. "Yamanaka Lin has a very thorough grasp of your family's secret techniques. He can easily see and observe the actions of other ninjas through birds. This was also the reason at the beginning. The reason why she was able to join ANBU. "
As the third generation Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen may not be able to know all the information about every ninja in the village.
But at the level of "jounin". For
the information about every jonin in the village, Sarutobi Hiruzen Tobi could all know the treasures of his family.
But the special pair of Jonin "Shimura Arata" and "Yanaka Lin"...
Sarutobi Hiruzen's brows did not relax at all, and he cast his sights on Nara Kano.
But Nara Kano had already retired.
This At that time, he just coughed lightly, and Nara Shikaku took the initiative to take a step forward.
"Sandaime-sama. "
The new Jonin class leader has a respectful attitude and sharp words.
"Just now, Shimura's new gang, together with Yamanaka Lin, launched an attack on our Nara clan genin Nara Langui, and the director of the Kikyo orphanage, Yakushi Nonou.
"Senior Hairen checked the brains of these two ninjas and confirmed that these two jonins from ANBU committed such crimes only after receiving orders from their superiors!" Baga
!
This was the only word that came to Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind after listening to Nara Shikaku's report.
Anbu jounin, follow orders and attack fellow villagers?
This almost made it clear that it was the Third Hokage and Hiruzen Sarutobi who ordered the two jounin to carry out a secret mission to eliminate other ninjas in their village!
And considering the identity of the ninjas of the mountain clan of "Yamazhonglin"...
there may be some evil intentions hidden in this to sow discord between the three clans of pigs, deers and butterflies!
Everyone present could understand what Nara Shikaku said.
Including the pharmacist Nonoyu who had just been kissed in a daze, it was at this time that he finally realized what the clan leaders and bosses of the Pig, Deer, and Die Tribe were planning to do.
In the final analysis, Yakushi Nonou is a real legendary spy who has a strong talent for obtaining certain intelligence information.
Yakushi Nonou knew very well that the two jonins, Yamanaka Hayashi and Shimura Arata, were sent on a mission by the root leader Shimura Danzo before they took action.
She also knew that Nara Langui must know this.
However, according to Nara Shikaku, who should also know the whole cause of the incident, the person who issued the order for this mission changed from Shimura Danzo to Sarutobi Hiruzen... Yakushi Nonoyu lowered his head slightly and focused his eyes on the floor of the office
. Go up, trying not to look at the real mastermind next to you.
'Is this the plan Langui mentioned before? '
Yes!
This is Nara's plan to take the crown.
What's the use of throwing evidence directly on Shimura Danzo's bandaged face?
That old man is already notorious.
Even within the Leaf Village, Danzo Shimura did not have a good reputation.
In the ninja world, he is even known as "The Darkness of Ninja", and he is an iconic figure that everyone hates.
Directly bring Shimura Arata and Yamanaka Lin to confront Shimura Danzo, and the other party will be able to fight to the end.
After all, Danzo Shimura is a ninja who lives in the darkness. "Talking nonsense" and "excluding dissidents" are not derogatory terms for him.
But compared to Shimura Danzo.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who lived completely in the light, was completely different.
Since the "Darkness of Shinobi" has absorbed all the darkness in Konoha.
Then the "Third Generation Hokage" can only be pure light!
The kind that can't be stained by any black pot.
Faced with Nara Shikaku's cross-examination, what can Sarutobi Hiruzen say?
Does he know nothing about Shimura Arata and Yamanakabayashi's actions?
Or...
he was the one who sent Shimura Arata and Yamanaka Hayashi to kill people?
Sarutobi Hiruzen moved his lips a few times, but when the words came to his lips, he still didn't know what to say.
Does he have any room to refute Nara Shikaku?
No.
This is the real crux of the matter.
Even though Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't know much about "Shimura Arata", the jounin of the Shimura clan.
But "Yamanakabayashi" is indeed a real ANBU jounin!
This alone was enough to shut up Sarutobi Hiruzen.
'Shimura... Inokacho... Nara... Danzo! '
The clues swirled around in Sarutobi Hiruzen's brain. He recalled the conversations in the office a few days ago and directly targeted the "real suspect."
'Shimura Danzo! "
About this matter, I will definitely give you an explanation for the Ino, Deer, and Butterflies clan."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said solemnly, and at the same time he raised his hand to give an order, and an ANBU ninja emerged from the shadows.
"Go to the roots and ask Danzo Shimura to come up to see me!"
"Yes!"
the ANBU ninja responded respectfully, planning to take action immediately.
But at this moment, an old and hoarse voice came from outside the door.
"No need to go."
Shimura Danzo pushed open the door and entered with a calm and cold expression.
"I'm already here."
The actions of the Pig, Deer and Die clan were indeed swift enough.
But just as the other party was approaching the Hokage Building, Shimura Danzo had already received the intelligence information.
After considering Hiruzen's character...
Shimura Danzo decided to come up on his own.
"Shimura Arata!"
Shimura Danzo's eyes focused on the dead body on the ground, and the dissatisfaction and anger in his eyes flashed away.
"This is a Jonin of our Shimura clan. You Ino Shikacho openly killed your companions in the village. It is really a heinous crime!"
As soon as he appeared on the stage, Danzo Shimura slapped him down.
"Elder Shimura."
Nara Shikaku's tone was also very cold.
"Senior Hairen has searched the brain memories of these two ninjas. We have confirmed that these two jonins took this action after receiving instructions from a certain senior executive. "Are you questioning the professionalism of the analysis class
? Ability? "
"I only know that the ninjas of the Shimura clan are dead, but the ninjas of the Yamanaka clan are still alive. "
Shimura Danzo sneered and said noncommittally.
"What's more, this is the result of the self-examination of the ninjas of their mountain clan.
"If you ask me, it would be better to hand over these two ninjas to me and let my subordinates come and check their brain memories in person.
"When the time comes, I will definitely give you an explanation. "
Hmph!
After hearing Danzo Shimura's words, several people present couldn't help but snort in their hearts, sighing at how shameless this old man is. If I
hand these two ninjas over to you, it's not like a meat bun beating a dog. Is there no return?
Nara Shikaku simply ignored the ruthless, shameless, and unreasonable Danzo Shimura, and looked directly at the Third Hokage.
"Does the Third Hokage think so too?" "
Inarakacho's idea is very simple. Just focus the problem on the third generation and avoid Shimura Danzo.
Facing Nara Shikaku's questioning, Sarutobi Hiruzen silently smoked his pipe.
To be honest, he was originally I was going to call Danzo Shimura up to take the blame.
Then the two old teammates played a "red and white face" drama to deal with today's events first. Unexpectedly, the stage was almost set, but the
other actor didn't even know how to deal with it. Don't follow the routine!
Just when Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking about what words to use to reply to the Ino, Deer, and Butterflies clan. Danzo
Shimura, who had planned to just watch indifferently, took the initiative to hand over a step.
"In such a nervous situation I really don’t know what you, the Pig, Deer and Butterfly Tribe, are thinking about causing such a boring farce! Danzo Shimura once again attracted firepower for his old friend, taunting his face
and breaking the news at the same time.
"Do you know that Sunagakure Village has already taken the initiative to send troops to find their third Kazekage!" "
Concerning Sarutobi Hiruzen and conspiracy theories, there is really no way.
As a powerful Hokage, he has ruled Konoha for at least decades.
After Shimura Danzo, the "number one scapegoat", was forcibly pushed out .
Sarutobi Hiruzen, the dignified third-generation Hokage, faces only two paths:
first, he is so stupid that he cannot see Shimura Danzo's actions;
second, he is so incompetent that he can only condone Shimura Danzo's evil deeds.
Or just It's just a fictional third way.
Sarutobi Hiruzen himself is also the mastermind of the conspiracy.
——Axin
will not forcefully attribute some illusory conspiracy theories to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
But he also won't think that Sarutobi Hiruzen It is really the "Three Generations of Ice Pure Jade and Pure Fire".
——The
disappearance of the third Kazekage is basically regarded as the trigger of the Third Ninja War.
But there is still the second half of the sentence.
In Chapter 266 of the manga, a senior Sunagakure mentioned To: "If we had not looked for the Third Kazekage, but tried to pacify the village."
In other words,
after the disappearance of the Third Kazekage, Sunagakure Village fell into long-term chaos.
Ashin's personal analysis of the triggers of the Three Wars is :
The Red Sand Scorpion assassinated the Third Kazekage;
the Third Kazekage disappeared, and the Sunagakure Village was leaderless and fell into chaos;
Sunagakure Village took the initiative to send troops, broke into other countries, and triggered the Third Ninja War.
