Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Man

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was eight o'clock in the evening.

Unlike the cheerful atmosphere at dinner, except for Tsuruko, who was still saying to Sasuke, 'Sakuraku's cooking is delicious', everyone else sat upright with very serious expressions.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little too serious, Ai Ye, who was sandwiched between Naruko and Tsuruko, knocked on the table and said, "You can take it easy, there's no need for this." ”

Kakashi sighed a little helplessly, looked at Ai Ye, who had put his hand on the table and clubbed his chin, and asked, "What do you and Sakuraku want to tell us?" ”

Sakuraku was the first to speak, and after glancing at the trio, she continued: "The reason why I brought it to the trio is not only because of what Ai Ye said during the day, but more importantly, our plan requires their cooperation. ”

Hearing this, Jiraiya frowned slightly, and while knocking on the table, he said, "Tell me in detail." ”

Hearing Sakuraku say this, Jiraiya's brows furrowed even tighter, and he subconsciously felt that what this woman was going to say was probably not a good thing.

"The real culprit of the Uchiha extermination incident......"

This question, Jiraiya and Kakashi are at a loss for words, the real culprit of the Uchiha extermination incident is not Uchiha Itachi, who else can it be?

Almost everyone in the entire ninja world knows about it, and no one knows it, according to reason, the two of them should know this information.

This question appeared in Jiraiya and Kakashi's minds in an instant, but they were smart enough not to interject and waited for Sakuraku to continue.

As soon as the talks began, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

And Sakuraku didn't seem to be in a hurry, just sat there, honestly watching the Hokage smoke.

Sasuke behaved similarly to the other two, but the difference was that he understood what Sakuraku meant.

"Looks like you've done a lot of research."

Hearing this, Sakuraku smiled slightly, but did not answer, because she knew that the Hokage had not finished speaking.

Seeing that the Hokage said this, Sakuraku naturally wouldn't be polite, she nodded slightly

It didn't take long, but it wasn't short, and during this time, in addition to the fact that Hokage always maintained a poker face, Kakashi and Jiraiya's expressions could be said to be ever-changing, from doubt at the beginning, to contemplation, and finally to shock!

Sakuraku picked up the teacup that was in her hand, took a sip, and asked with a smile, "Do you have anything to add, Hokage-sama?" ”

But on this occasion, to be silent is to be silent.

Seeing that the Hokage didn't speak, Jiraiya glanced at him with a confused expression, and asked in a somewhat trembling tone, "Sakura falls to her...... Is that true? ”

"As much as I would love to deny that what you said was wrong, ......"

"Sasuke is my disciple......"

'Did you bring Sasuke here to put pressure on me......

As the words fell, Sasuke's fists under the table instantly clenched, because Hokage's words were equivalent to admitting that Sakuraku and Aino's guess was correct.

After quietly glancing at Sasuke, whose body was trembling a little, Hokage said to Sakuraku, "There is no such thing as the person you said was hiding behind the scenes. ”

Ai Ye tilted his head slightly, looked at the Hokage and said, "What Sister Sakuraluo and I are in contact with now is already the extremely core part of Konoha, and your character and way of doing things are very clear to all of us present, this extreme judgment of exterminating the clan cannot be an order from you Hokage." ”

"Then let me put it another way......"

The Hokage was not angry at Ai Ye's faux pas, and after he took a puff of cigarette, he sighed helplessly under the gaze of everyone, and said, "I'm here to protect you. ”

Ai Ye nodded slightly, and continued: "I can understand your feelings, and I can understand why you are doing this, but unfortunately, in this situation, it is impossible for you alone to suppress that person." ”

"You can understand that we are the best ......"

Kakashi frowned when he heard this, and when he was about to speak, he was stopped by Jiraiya with his eyes.

Kakashi cast an inquiring glance at Jiraiya, but Jiraiya only shook his head slightly, signaling him not to interject yet, and then lowered his head slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

The reason why Sasuke was brought and asked to listen to this was to express Sakuraku's attitude towards the Hokage.

The sole survivor of the Uchiha extermination.

In Sasuke's presence, Sakuraku dared to throw up the topic in public, and the Hokage was sure that they had already given Sasuke a thorough understanding before.

But not now, as Sakuraku and Ai Ye said before, what they are doing now, that guy is watching it.

If you think along this line......

"How is that possible?"

"Sister Sakuraku and I are in a hurry to deal with the person behind it, but haven't we been in such a hurry?"

And the crane, who noticed the fire film line, pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "I got out of trouble by myself, and the reason why I sit here so safely is also because of the existence of the Nine Lamas. ”

Seeing that Tsuruko denied his thoughts, Hokage's brows furrowed slightly, and after glancing at Sakuraku and Aino, who were a little speechless, he thought silently, "Although the motive is there, the risk is too great, and I have no evidence to suspect that this matter was premeditated by the two of them." ’

But the timing would not be too coincidental, and not long after the two of them returned, Shouhe was out of trouble. ’

Let's put this thing aside for a moment. ’

The Hokage took the initiative to change the subject, which was of course the best, so Sakuraku nodded slightly and said, "Then I'll thank you for Sasuke first." ”
