Chapter 157 High-level decision, darkness
dong~dong~dong~
The cigarette rod tapped on the desk, and Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little confused. The Uchiha clan leader was rushing to find him with the corpse of the jounin of the Shimura clan.
What the hell happened!
"See Hokage-sama!"
Fugaku, Kakashi, and Inuzuka Suzu walked into the Hokage's office one after another and placed a body aside.
Uchiha Mai did not come with him, and took Uchiha Shin back to the elder's home for placement. She did not tell the new grandma about his coma to ensure his safety.
In addition, several remaining security genin were asked to take Eita's body to the cemetery in Konoha, and professionals were asked to handle the body for burial.
Next to Sarutobi Hiruzen were the two people who came before Fugaku and the others after hearing the news. They were Koharu Koharu and Mito Kadoen, two of Konoha's top F4 leaders.
As for Danzo Shimura, he was ordered to lead a team to the Country of Rain a few days ago. The intelligence Jiraiya sent a while ago mentioned something unusual in the Country of Rain, and Konoha needed to investigate clearly to avoid the emergence of another enemy country.
"Ah."
Sarutobi Hiruzen responded softly without saying much.
"Uchiha Fugaku, why aren't you on the border battlefield? You know leaving your post without permission is a taboo for ninjas!"
When the weather turns bright, Koharu strikes first.
"Lord Hokage, this is information about the battlefield in the northwest of the Land of Fire. Lord Jiraiya sent me to bring back the information. Since there is no large-scale war at the moment, I am allowed seven days to deal with matters within the clan."
Fugaku was too lazy to pay attention to her. Since he became the leader of the Uchiha clan, he had argued endlessly with the two advisors and Danzo for the sake of the clan.
Gradually, he discovered that these arguments were meaningless, and the only one who could really make the decision was the Hokage.
No matter what the other three advisory elders do, they cannot do without Hokage's hints or explicit instructions.
By far the longest reigning Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi can't really be just a good old guy.
"Well, I understand, Fugaku, coming here today is not just about handing in information, right?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen put down the cigarette stick in his hand and asked pointedly.
"Lord Hokage is aware that there is indeed one more thing. However, this matter needs to be explained in detail by the person involved."
Fugaku nodded, and after finishing speaking, he turned aside, allowing the three Kakashi and Inuzuka Suzu to come forward, and cast encouraging glances.
"I've seen Master Hokage!"
The four of them saluted, and then Kakashi began to tell what happened last night. Suzu Inuzuka explained the events of Taishi Shimura's attack on Eita one by one with an expressionless face.
"It's ridiculous. Although the Shimura clan is not a big clan, they would never do such a thing that goes against the will of fire!"
After going to bed, Xiaochun started again.
Hearing this, Obito was very unconvinced and was about to argue, but Fugaku stopped him with a look. Inuzuka Suzu, who was silent behind him, gave her a cold look and bowed his head again in silence.
Fugaku took a step forward and stood in front of several juniors.
"Hokage-sama, besides us, there are still several people alive. If you don't believe it, please ask."
"No, the ANBU will investigate this matter. You go back first!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's face was a little gloomy. He found that Uchiha Fugaku was becoming calmer and calmer than before, which was difficult to deal with.
"Yes, my subordinates retire!"
Fugaku left first, and Obito, Nohara Rin, and Inuzuka Suzu also left one by one.
This time, no Uchiha clan member was killed, but a talented jounin from the Shimura clan died, and Fugaku didn't want to make the matter a big deal.
"Kakashi, what else can you do?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen asked softly. This time, Kakashi and Fugaku were on the same team, which made him a little unhappy.
"Lord Hokage, this is the situation on the battlefield in the northeastern part of the Country of Fire. Originally, it was supposed to be led by Dai Shi..."
Kakashi choked for a moment, lowered his head and handed over the information, and continued,
"The Kumogakure camp has been destroyed and has retreated to the territory of Yuno Country; Uchiha Shin saved hundreds of Konoha ninjas and is still unconscious!"
"really!?"
Mito Kadenen said excitedly, repelling the Kumogakure ninja army, this is the nectar after a long drought for Konoha's current situation, bringing an opportunity to break the situation.
"Reporting to the advisor, every word is true."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression softened, he took the scroll and quickly read it.
After watching it, I felt much more relaxed. Until the last part, about Uchiha Shin, the old man frowned slightly, took a puff of cigarette, and handed the information scroll to the two people behind him.
"Minato really didn't disappoint me, haha!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen rarely smiled indulgently, but he soon returned to his serious look.
The two people behind him had the same smiles on their faces, and the three years of difficulties had finally cleared away.
"Kakashi, you have a good talent. Under the guidance of Mr. Minato, you will be a pillar of Konoha in the future. You can go down first."
"Yes, thank you Hokage-sama."
Kakashi turned around and left, subconsciously glanced at the body of Shimura Taishi and sighed in his heart.
[Ninja, you put your mission first, can you even kill your friends? 】
Kakashi, who is only 11 years old, has experienced what happened to his father White Fang, and was assassinated by a ninja who also belonged to Konoha last night. The darkness in his heart has gradually grown.
"What happened last night must not be leaked to anyone. Do you understand?"
Just as Kakashi was about to go out, Mitomon said slightly threateningly.
"I understand. I will inform the others. As for Senior Fugaku..."
"Don't worry Fugaku, he knows what to do."
"Yes, I understand."
After Kakashi left, Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up and walked to the window. The two behind him looked at each other and walked to both sides of it.
"Hiruzhan, how are you going to handle this matter?"
Mitomon Yan asked.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was noncommittal and fell into deep thought.
"I'm afraid Danzo has something to do with this!"
Kaori Koharu said with a sullen face, although the suppression of the Uchiha clan was the consensus of the four of them, but killing the Konoha ninja and being exposed on the spot was beyond the bottom line of the three of them.
"cough~"
The two fell silent.
"Send the order to summon Danzo to return to Konoha, abandon the plan to explore the Kingdom of Rain, and instead start infiltrating the Kingdom of Earth. The Iwakumo Alliance...should end."
As Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi's priority must be war.
"Yes."
"Send a team of Anbu to investigate what Kakashi and others said. If what they said is true, then the Shimura clan..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen did not continue speaking, but the cold light in his eyes made people shudder.
"understood."
The two consultants had worked with the Hokage for many years, so they naturally understood what Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking.
The Ninja World War takes priority, Danzo is still useful, and there is no direct evidence that Danzo was involved in what happened last night, so the only way to do it is to sacrifice the Shimura clan.
Not only did he block Yuyou's mouth, but he also gave Danzo a beating, killing two birds with one stone.
After the two resigned to the Hokage, they left the Hokage's office together, leaving only Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was still deep in thought, standing quietly by the bed.
[The Fire Giant who can compete with tailed beasts. This ninjutsu is not mentioned in the literature of Konoha and the family. His eyes have been definitely destroyed. It cannot be the legendary eyes. Could it be... Uchiha This clan actually has another kind of blood inheritance limit? 】
