Chapter 241: The undercurrent of the top

Sometimes life has to go on even if it's full of lies.

Just like the explanation that Sakura Haruno got, it was Xiyan who just got fat during her recuperation - Sakura herself naturally scoffed at this explanation, who doesn't know that if you want to be fat first fat waist, you have to be thin first to lose your breasts!emmm~ There must be some kind of secret hidden in this!

Just like the revenge plan that Erzhu has always regarded as one of his life goals, of course, the Sasuke that Sakura knows now is much more mature than he was in the original book.

It seems a bit unfair to call him Erzhu again.

However, he still hasn't seen through Itachi's lies, and still thinks that he must take revenge...... Although Sakura Haruno had talked to him, maybe there was something strange about it, and his brother wasn't necessarily the culprit.

It's just that even Sakura Haruno, who is a traverser, doesn't know the secret very well - who told her to cross without making up for it? In the entire Konoha Village, there are only four people who fully understand the truth, oh no, it's five now. The new Hokage Tsunade-sama, who has completed the top-secret intelligence scroll under the reminder of the third generation, is now having a headache about how to clean up this mess......

Among the four current insiders, two Hokage advisors, Mito Menyan and Koharu Zhuan, generally choose to hide their thoughts and be the Hokage's followers after Hokage-sama makes a decision;

Shimura Danzou is a blatant expression of distrust of the Uchiha clan, and even has the intention of solving Sasuke in the battle of Kimimaro;

Sarutobi Hizashi expressed complete trust in Uchiha Itachi, and at the same time believed that Sasuke would not betray the will of fire.

As for the new Hokage Tsunade-sama......

Based on the fact that Sasuke is Sakura's teammate in Haruno, and she can be regarded as the Hokage who has grown up watching Sasuke, Tsunade has a lot of confidence in Sasuke.

But if she wants to talk about Itachi, she can only hehe. To be reasonable, Itachi had already left Konoha when she was born, so why should she trust a double agent who had never seen her, had been away from Konoha for many years, and had never reported information to the village?

Since that mission to search Orochimaru's base, Konoha has been secretly collecting and probing the information of Orochimaru and Akatsuki, but there has been no sound.

Some of the information I occasionally find is also all painless side news, such as the bounty house that Sakura raided before, except for the fact that Kakura can be sure that Kakudu has been there a few times, there is no other useful information.

On the other hand, the information transmitted from Jiraiya's side has also become more and more clear that the organization of Akatsuki, hidden under the calm surface of the ninja world, actually has a supernatural force that is powerful enough to wreak havoc on a great power.

The more he went deeper, the more frightened Konoha became.

Hokage Building. in a small conference room.

It was a small, high-level meeting behind closed doors.

Closed doors mean ...... Anything you have to say can be said directly on the table.

"There's no way I'm going to trust a stranger I've never met. If Itachi is really reliable, why hasn't it passed on a single effective piece of information after joining Xiaoxiao for so many years?" Tsunade asked Miyo bluntly.

It is a matter of the interests and safety of the village, and on such a serious issue, even if the other party is her teacher and the previous Hokage, the fifth Hokage-sama must directly question it!

There are two possibilities that Uchiha Itachi does not pass on information, one is that he has betrayed Konoha and the other is that he is closely monitored and cannot find an opportunity to pass on information.

Of course, the three generations of Hokage chose to forgive...... Phew, it was the choice to believe Itachi: "The members of Xiao are in groups of two, it's normal for Itachi to not find a chance to pass on information, and that organization may have very strong surveillance capabilities." ”

"Hizai, if you trust the people of the Uchiha clan too much, sooner or later it will cause a catastrophe!" Uchiha's history has proven all this......" Danzou interjected coldly, his voice still dry and hoarse, old and hard.

"Danzo-sama, is this the reason why you intend to attack Sasuke?" Seeing Danzo's head, Tsunade immediately poured fire on him, and his sharp eyes pressed towards Danzo, "As the current Hokage, I must warn you that if I find any signs of attack on any normal Konoha ninja in the root, I will forcibly disband the root, and you, as the head of the root, also need to cooperate with the review!"

Tuanzang, who was slapped on the front, was not shocked, and said without raising his eyelids: "The root does things, and only starts from the position of whether it is beneficial to Konoha or not, the old man has always had a clear conscience, if Tsunade-sama has any doubts, please do not hesitate to investigate." ”

"Hmph......" Tsunade raised his eyebrows, and he still felt helpless about how to restrict the oil and salt from entering.

"Don't be vindictive, calm down. Mito Menyan said, "Uchiha Sasuke currently has no sign of resisting the village, let alone the possibility of defection, he is now a ninja of Konoha, as long as a few of us in the know keep it a secret, Sasuke will always be a nin......ja of Konoha in the future."

"When the time is right, we still have to tell Sasuke the truth," the third Hokage snapped a puff of his cigarette and said with a sigh, "We can't hide it from him for the rest of our lives, Sasuke is not that stupid." ”

"That's where I don't trust Sasuke......" Danzou snorted, looking at the three Hokages with the eyes of the Shadow Owl, and said, "Do you think a person who has been exterminated will have his heart set on Konoha?"

Ape Feiri's expression moved, and he was about to speak, when he saw that a new round of dispute was about to stir up again.

"Alright!" Tsunade shouted in a deep voice, "Sasuke's affairs, as the fifth generation Hokage, I will be responsible for it to the end, don't argue about this anymore!"

It really doesn't work, so I'll just throw the group out and take the blame...... No, no, no, it's his fault, and it's not the blame. Tsunade said in her heart, this is how she is responsible for the end, of course, this careful thinking Tsunade will naturally not show it......

She just glanced around the venue solemnly, and the other four were all under Tsunade's determined gaze, lowered their eyes, and closed their mouths.

The prestige of the five generations of Hokage has gradually been erected.

"Let's get back to business. Looking at the people who had fallen silent, Tsunade nodded secretly in his heart, and said lightly, "Today's topic is the issue of Akatsuki and Uchiha Itachi, if Uchiha Itachi really thinks of himself as Konoha's person, then we should find a way to contact him and get information from him......"

She continued: "The enchantment class once found that after the middle ninja exam, Konoha's enchantment showed signs of being touched, and the intruder was very familiar with Konoha's defensive enchantment, but there were many details that were set a few years ago, so it was judged that the person who came could be a ninja who defected from Konoha a few years ago......"

“…… Itachi Uchiha, the only one who has the ability to do this. The third Hokage tapped the table with his pipe and concluded without hesitation, "Itachi returned to Konoha, but it was just a false shot, and he left without doing anything." ”

"What's Itachi's purpose in doing this?" asked Koharu.

"It's very simple, when the village is attacked and plunged into chaos, I want to enter the troubled waters of Konoha to fish......" Tuan Zang said without thinking.

"The purpose of kidnapping the Nine-Tails Pillar Force Naruto is Akatsuki, don't be confused!" said the third generation with a glance at Danzo, "Itachi's intention is to tell us that he is still alive and still in Akatsuki." ”

Tsunade raised his eyebrows, and Itachi's actions ...... Can it really be interpreted like this?

In the final analysis, she can't trust Itachi unreservedly like the third generation, and naturally there will be diametrically opposite interpretations of Itachi's actions. In fact, her thoughts on this matter may be closer to Danzang's attitude.

However, since the three generations believe in Itachi, then Tsunade can only choose to believe in the vision of the three generations once......

The focus of the meeting quickly shifted to how to test the information and connect with the Uchiha Itachi.

However, until more information is gathered, such a meeting is really just a general talk, and the biggest result is to unify the thinking among the Konoha high-level and determine the next course of action for Konoha to do.

As the Hokage who dominates the village, Tsunade can't be arbitrary and domineering in everything. More often than not, she needs to convince others and unify her thoughts in such a high-level meeting, and then in the upper ninja meeting, she can get the support of the upper ninja squad leaders to ensure that her will is carried out.

Otherwise, she's just a mascot who can't get out of the Hokage Building.

Of course, with the Hokage's identity bonus, Tsunade's words are naturally more convincing than others, and her prestige is growing, so her ideas are rarely denied, and they are basically implemented definitely.

In short, a series of responses to the Xiao organization are being gradually implemented under Tsunade's arrangement.

Konoha doesn't want to confront Akatsuki for the time being, so he doesn't collect Akatsuki's information in a big way, and everything is done in a low-key secret.

And during this period of time, the most important thing for Konoha is not the spy on Xiao, but the middle ninja exam this summer.

According to the unspoken rules of the rotation, this exam will be held in the village of Sand Ninja.

The Konoha invasion incident that occurred in last year's middle ninja exam made this year's middle ninja exam held in Sand Ninja Village even more eye-catching.

The outside world wants to know whether the sand ninja, who has nominally surrendered to Konoha, is really low and small, or is still harboring evil intentions!

The undercurrents and mysteries hidden between the two ninja villages will be solved in this middle ninja exam......
