Chapter 265: The Suppressed Influence and the Selection of the Demon Hunter
"Well, tonight is going to be eventful, tell the people below to take good care of the temple. www.biquge.info The red-clothed priest chuckled and said, "You can accompany me to meet the three generations of Hokage!" ”
"Yes, Lord Priest."
After saying that, the two of them left the temple together and rushed towards the Hokage Building.
~~~~~~~
On the other side, the three generations of Hokage and the others, who were already waiting anxiously, were suppressing their thoughts and waiting for the arrival of the temple sacrifice.
With a "whoosh", a shadow came to the side of the third Hokage and reported: "Hokage-sama, the shaman-sama and the temple guard chief have gone downstairs. ”
"Okay, the priest is here, everyone, let's go and greet the priest together!" After saying that, the three generations of Hokage walked outside with the people with a strange atmosphere.
Under the sound of chaotic footsteps~~~~~ the Hokage and the Red-clothed Priest met in the hall downstairs.
"Lord Priest in Red, it's really rude for us to invite you over late at night." As soon as Pu met, the three generations of Hokage said apologetically on behalf of Konoha Village.
"Where, I believe that with the late night notice from the three generations of Hokage-sama, something very important must have happened." The red-clothed priest said with concern, "I don't know where a local demonic disaster broke out?" ”
"No, it's serious this time, but I'm not sure what the nature of the situation is because I've just gotten the news." The third Hokage said in a deep voice, "Therefore, we hope that the priest will preside over this together." ”
"Yes, I beg the Lord of the Red Priesthood to help!" As soon as the words of the three generations of Hokage fell, all the large and small patriarchs or group representatives behind him all said in unison.
"Oh! That's what everyone says! The red-clothed priest said with a serious expression: "It seems that something really happened." ”
"Rest assured, the temple represents the Divine Cult and the Red Sand Empire, and it will definitely help everyone, but shouldn't the three generations of Hokage-sama talk about what happened to the ground first."
"The Uchiha may have been wiped out." The third generation Hokage said in a deep voice.
"The news is confirmed!" The red-clothed priest said with a shocked expression.
"Just received the message." The three generations of Hokage said in a deep voice: "I have already sent the Shadow Department to seal off the place, and the two Hokage advisors have also gone over to investigate. ”
"It just so happens that I'm calling you over tonight to discuss the number of geniuses that the Empire has asked to select! So everyone is gathered now, and after I got the news, I directly informed the priest, hoping that the power of the temple can help us. ”
"I see, let's go check it out!" Looking at the strange atmosphere behind the three generations of Hokage, the red-clothed priest who had lived in Konoha Village for six years and clearly understood the complicated situation and relationship here also felt the embarrassing situation of the three generations of Hokage.
"Whoosh~~~"
Five minutes later, under the leadership of the Cardinal Priest and the three generations of Hokage, everyone arrived at the Uchiha clan's private clan land.
What you can see is the members of the dark department who blocked the scene in all directions, and the strong smell of blood wafting in the wind.
This strong smell of blood, which is no less than that left after a bloody battle, made many people present pale, they have not experienced war, but such a bloody scene happened in their own village, which is unacceptable to everyone.
Therefore, after the initial stimulation, the anger began to ignite in the hearts of the patriarchs of all clans.
Two "whoosh" sounds
The two Hokage advisors used ninjutsu to instantaneously come over.
"Koharu, Menyan, how's it going! There are no traces of living mouths and murderers. The three Hokage asked eagerly.
Hearing this, after the two glanced at each other, Mito Menyan said: "The time is too short, we didn't catch the murderer, but we just preliminarily determined that the Uchiha clan should be wiped out, as for the living mouth, I only found Uchiha Fugaku's youngest son, Uchiha Sasuke, and I have already sent him to the hospital." ”
Hearing this, the third generation Hokage, who gasped, said in a deep voice: "Is there only Sasuke Uchiha alive?" ”
"As long as the people we can find out about are already inside, except for the body of Uchiha Itachi has not been found, only Uchiha Sasuke is still alive." Mito Menyan said: "However, the Uchiha clan has a lot of autonomy after all, and some hidden strengths are unknown to us, so we can't rule out the possibility of survivors." ”
"And given the disappearance of Uchiha Itachi and the survival of Sasuke Uchiha, we believe that Uchiha Itachi is the key and that he should be alive as well."
"Well, today is the day of the Uchiha's clan festival, and all the Uchiha people will come back here to participate, and since the body of the Uchiha Itachi has not been found, there is indeed a good chance that he will survive."
Thinking of this, the third generation Hokage said in a deep voice: "Immediately send additional people to shrink the figure of Uchiha Itachi throughout the village, if it is not found in the village, it will be collected within the sphere of influence under our control, and the news of Uchiha Itachi must be determined as soon as possible." ”
"Yes, Hokage-sama." The person in charge of the dark department on the side answered loudly.
Looking at the shadows who led the team away, the three generations of Hokage continued to ask, "Are there any other discoveries?" ”
"Yes, how could such a large Uchiha clan be killed in such a short period of time, and be wiped out without alarming us? Are there any traces of demonic creatures? The red-clothed priest asked.
"At the moment, we have found no traces of demonized creatures." Mito Menyan said in a deep voice: "However, we have found traces of fierce battles, as well as some different changes, so we can be sure that the enemy is not one, but a team of people, a team of various powerful ninjas. ”
Judging from the different changes on the scene, they first used the sealing technique to isolate the entire Uchiha clan from Konoha Village, and then divided the huge Uchiha clan land into pieces of area through the sealing technique, which was also isolated from each other.
"Break them one by one?" The three generations of Hokage, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, said with a solemn expression.
"Yes, the Uchiha's power was separated by the sealing technique, and it was only by using the strong to kill a part of the Uchiha's power after the division that not only did we not get any news, but even the Uchiha itself was gradually eaten away without any defense." Mito Menyan said in a deep voice.
"How is this possible, who can build such a large sealing array in the territory of the Uchiha, with the xenophobic nature of the Uchiha, it is impossible for outsiders to do it." Hinata Hinata said with an ugly face.
"So there must be an inner ghost. And with such a large sealing array, even if it is a Uchiha clan, it is impossible for Uchiha Fugaku to see the other party's subordinates for no reason, so the inner ghost must be a Uchiha clan who is very trusted by the entire Uchiha to be able to do this without attracting the intervention of other clansmen. The three generations of Hokage said with the same ugly face.
"Itachi Uchiha?" The red-clothed priest said flatly.
Although the red-clothed priest didn't say much, everyone present was not stupid, Mito Menyan's report, Hinata Hyuzu's words and the speculation of the three generations of Hokage all made everyone automatically make up the so-called truth in their minds.
"Could it be that the outsiders contacted by the missing Uchiha Itachi jointly destroyed their own family, the Uchiha clan?"
"How is this possible? He's the young patriarch of the Uchiha clan! Coupled with his own talent and strength, the future Uchiha patriarch Bacheng will also be inherited by him, what reason does he have to destroy the Uchiha that will belong to him! “
"Ai, don't be tempted by the real demon!"
"Who knows! I'm afraid I'll have to wait for someone to find it to be sure. ”
"Even if it's Uchiha Itachi, how did he bring outsiders in, and the person who can participate in the destruction of the Uchiha clan is probably not a nobody!"
"The village is a little less safe now!"
"Yes! The people of the sealing class are really derelict in their duties. ”
Listening to the chaotic discussion of everyone behind him, the third generation Hokage said with a not very good-looking face: "At present, we can only get more clues with the main goal of finding the Uchiha Itachi, and I will also let the dark department investigate in detail in the sealing class, now everyone go in with me to take a look!" It's better to go back and be wary of your own family. ”
"After all, in today's era, most of the sealing class's energy is focused on screening demonized creatures and isolating demonic qi, and they are naturally not as keen as before against enemies who are also humans."
"The village is already seizing the time to cultivate more sealing ninjas."
"So at this time, I hope that everyone will try to watch and help each other as much as possible, and at the same time, it will not affect the normal operation of the village."
Hearing the words of the three generations of Hokage, everyone who was originally uneasy could only say in unison: "I will live up to Hokage-sama's expectations." ”
~~~~~~~~
That night, after a busy period of inspection, except for the darkness that temporarily seemed to be the scene to clean up the corpses of the Uchiha clan, the elite high-ranking people of Konoha Village all left the bloody Uchiha clan land one after another.
On the second day, the entire Konoha Village was running as usual, but the figures of the Uchiha people who were once everywhere did disappear cleanly, and at the same time, everything about the Uchiha clan land was directly blocked by the shadows.
And just when this atmosphere of mountain rain was about to come between many large and small families, an assessment called the Demon Hunter Selection Contest suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Did you hear that there is going to be a contest in the village to hunt demons!"
"What is a Demon Hunter? How come there is this competition all of a sudden. ”
"It is said that it was an order from the Chisha Empire, so it was held very suddenly."
"And the so-called Demon Hunter is to select the most talented reserve disciples, and then give the title of Demon Hunter to do things for the Chisha Empire!"
"Ahh How can it be held in a hurry? ”
"It is said that last night, Hokage-sama had already notified all the geniuses who were eligible to participate in the selection of the competition overnight."
"And today we will directly start the preliminary selection, and those who pass will be in the final competition."
"Do I check, internal elections? How can you notify it directly! Shouldn't it be self-signing! A ninja who was listening to his companion's boasting angrily said, "Whoever was chosen?" ”
"Alas, you're being thought of." Seeing the atmosphere of the companion who had been listening, another ninja who was proud in his heart immediately struck down: "The ones who were selected are all geniuses under the age of ten, not mediocre people like us, you should honestly watch the gate with Lao Tzu!" ”
"Shhh, they're all under the age of ten, so what's the strength!"
"How can you be so young and worthy of the title of Demon Hunter, which is very majestic when you hear it!" Knowing that he didn't have a chance, the ninja who was angry before said disdainfully.
"Cut, you guy knows cultivation all day long, I'll tell you! Don't underestimate those little ghosts, now that they have the cultivation knowledge announced by the temple, although it is an additional path for us as civilians, for those who are truly gifted, the help of the knowledge of the temple is actually greater. ”
"There are a lot of geniuses emerging in Konoha Village today, and there are some of them who are almost already comparable to the strength of the middle ninja."
Since the news of the Demon Hunting Contest came out from the three generations of Hokage, in just half a day, such similar words have been staged all over Konoha Village.
Even the cordoned off civilian areas are discussing this rare topic of entertainment.
At the same time, the oil girl Zhizun was also brought to the field of the first game.
Although she has already known about today's assessment, there has been no change in the oil girl Zhizun, and there is hardly any superfluous thing on her body except for the empty nest behind her back, and she is still dressed in an ordinary black coat and stepped into the assessment waiting area.
At this time, there were already many other candidates who had already come over early to wait, different from the casual oil girl Zhizun, these teenagers and girls who came early were all fully armed and prepared.
As the Oil Girl Zhizun stepped into this field that was originally used for training, the other geniuses in the field all set their eyes on the Oil Girl Zhizun.
None of them, whether hostile, or warlike, scrutinized, or contemptible, were of good intentions.
As soon as she stepped in, she looked at the hostility of everyone, and ignored these people, and walked straight to a clearing and sat down cross-legged to rest.
For everyone to be so unanimously hostile, in fact, the oil girl Zhizun had already prepared in his heart.
After all, although everyone is a competitor, there is such an assessment requirement for them in the assessment, that is, the younger the better, and even if the difference in strength is not too big, then in the end, it will even be the younger to win.
And the people who can come to participate in the assessment are geniuses under the age of ten, but the reality is that if a genius wants to achieve good strength before the age of ten, then the age group he can choose is actually not much, so most of the geniuses of all races are concentrated in the three levels of eight years old, nine years old, and ten years old.
So it's no wonder that the others are united and hostile, after all, among all the participants, the age of the six-year-old Oil Girl Zhizun is indeed one of the youngest of the two, that is to say, if the strength of the Oil Girl Zhizun is good and can enter the second assessment, then the other people present who are older than him are basically out.
And although the strength of the oil girl Zhizun has not been seen with their own eyes, but they have all been explained by the elders before going out today, if they can't join forces to eliminate the oil girl Zhizun and another genius who is also young, then they can directly give up the game.
