Chapter 11: Suspicion

In the huge conference room, there are about dozens of shinobi gathered here.

There are a total of four people sitting at the front, face to face with dozens of Shangnin.

Three generations of Hokage apes fly to the sun.

Consultant transferred to Koharu, Mito monitis.

Root leader Shimura Danzo.

Due to the occurrence of emergencies and the prelude of Danzo's first slash, Hizai, who is the Hokage, had to return quickly from the Hyuga clan and preside over the Shinobi meeting here.

However, presiding over the Shangnin meeting at this time was not out of the original intention of the Japanese slash.

Seeing that the Hyuga clan has already negotiated, as long as Hinata Hinata is called out and replaced by Hinata, the further deterioration of the relationship between Konoha and Yunyin can be avoided, and the war can be avoided.

According to the news brought back by the dark department, the Konoha ninja stationed on the eastern border of the Fire Country, a team of upper ninjas clashed with a team of Yunyin during a routine patrol, and as a result, the upper ninja in the team and three subordinate middle ninjas unfortunately died in their duties.

At this critical moment when the armistice agreement was signed with Yunyin, various conflicts occurred again and again, and they continued to disturb the mind of the day slash.

He sat there, intentionally or unintentionally, glanced at Tuanzang next to him, and sighed softly in his heart.

Although there is no actual evidence, there is probably a shadow of the existence of the group behind this incident.

As the main battle faction among Konoha, although Danzou did not make suggestions in the previous meetings, he must be dissatisfied with the way to resolve the war with Yunyin in peace talks.

If it is based on this dissatisfaction, and in order to achieve a certain goal, it is indeed appropriate for Tuan Zang to make trouble at this time.

"Regarding the fact that Mizuno Kaminobi's team and three team members were killed by the Yunyin ninja, this is no longer a question of whether we are willing to negotiate peace, but Yunyin's insincerity. Not only is he persecuting the Hyuga clan in a rogue way, but at this time, he is harassing the border of the Fire Country and attacking and killing our Konoha Kaminobi. In view of this incident, I would like to propose that the peace talks proposed at the last meeting be abolished. If Yun Yin must start a war and refuses to sign the armistice agreement, then fight them to the end until they are willing to sign! ”

Tuan Zang, who was sitting in the front row, had a cold and solemn voice, and a tough attitude of resolutely fighting the main battle.

Mizuno Kami Shinobu is Konoha Kamishinobu who was killed by Yun Yin at the border.

The three middle shinobi who traveled with him also died in the line of duty.

Danzang's statement is also agreed by most of the main battle ninjas.

Although they didn't like Tuan Zang, a high-level elder who always liked to design conspiracies in the shadows, they had to agree with his point of view at the moment.

Yun Yin was too aggressive, not only coerced the Hyuga clan in a shameless way, but also harassed the border at this moment, causing them to die in Konoha one upper ninja and three middle ninjas.

The main battle faction Shangnin, who originally disagreed with the peace talks, wanted to fight with Yun Yin to the end at this time, and the idea of fighting to the end became more firm and strong.

It was nothing more than death, and they didn't believe that every ninja in the cloud was not afraid of death.

Konoha isn't afraid to cause trouble.

The long-term policy of softness has also made their hearts flutter.

Even with the policy of the three generations of Hokage, he began to be dissatisfied.

If the four generations of Hokage were in power, it is estimated that they would have already led them to directly attack the hinterland of the Land of Thunder, directly forcing the four generations of Thunder Shadow to sign an armistice agreement in person.

"I agree with Elder Tuanzang's suggestion, regardless of the Hyuga clan first, it was originally Yunyin's white eyes that wanted to steal Hyuga in the first place, and then insisted on hitting a rake. Now that Mizuno Kamito has died in his duties, he can't let Yun Yin Hu go on. ”

"Yes, Yun Yin is too deceitful. Now it's not them who are holding us accountable, it's up to us to hold them accountable. ”

Many of the upper ninjas also echoed the plan of the group.

Yun Yin's continuous persecution has already made them unbearable, and they are worried that they have no place to vent their anger in their hearts.

"There are many doubts about this matter, why Mizuno Kaminobu's team clashed with the Yunyin ninja still needs to be carefully investigated and judged."

Hizashi also expressed his opinion.

He really didn't want to see someone's secretly smug expression.

"In other words, Hokage-sama, do you still plan to resolve this incident through peace talks?"

One of the shinobi asked.

This question can be said to be a heart-wrenching sentence.

"No, I just want to say that since it has happened, it is important to understand the truth behind it. As for the peace talks with Yun Yin......"

Hizai knew that at this time, once he said that he would continue to deal with Yun Yin with the policy of peace talks and Huai Rou, then, after this incident, I am afraid that the number of shinobi who support Tuan Zang will increase dramatically.

It's something he doesn't want to see.

The power territory of the roots is already huge enough.

If Danzo's roots touched the sunlight on the ground, it would be enough to pose a mortal threat to him, the Hokage.

But in the past few years, Tuan Zang has lived in a simple place, and has never given him the opportunity to play on the topic.

He wanted to investigate the real reason for this, not to compromise with Yun Yin, but to find evidence of the activities behind the scenes.

Personnel transfers within the root department are also thoroughly investigated.

"Let's do this for now, continue to send two thousand ninjas to the eastern border to garrison them to prevent Yun Yin. At the same time, I will also contact the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow of Yunyin by letter, and ask Yunyin to hand over the ninja who committed the crime to Konoha to dispose of. ”

At the moment, the momentum of the main battle faction is huge, and how to control their emotions is the job of the Hokage.

Although the war with Yun Yin continued, it was indeed an effective way to vent the anger in their hearts...... But what about after that?

Simply venting anger is the most pointless thing.

Konoha has been fighting for many years, and the consumption of various resources, as well as the problem of casualties, have long been imminent problems.

The daimyo is also urging to end the war as soon as possible and not to consume it any longer.

This is a matter that ninjas can not think about, but he, the Hokage, cannot be unresponsible.

This is also the reason why he hopes that the Hyuga clan will compromise on this.

The internal consumption was serious, the roots and tails could not be lost, and the daimyo also sent people to warn him many times that the war could not last.

Striking all the balance points is what he, the third Hokage, does his best.

Therefore, it is necessary to satisfy the fighting desire of the main battle faction to a certain extent, but it is not possible to say it to death, and it looks like it is going to fight to the death with Yun Yin.

That's all that matters.

Sure enough, hearing the arrangement of the sun slash, the upper ninja of the main battle faction calmed down to some extent and thought about the gains and losses.

Of course, they understand that war is not something that can be fought if you want to.

hot-headed for a while, they just want to vent the depression in their hearts, and they can't get used to Yun Yin's villain's ugly face.

"What are you going to do with the Hyuga clan?"

One of them asked again.

"This unreasonable demand is refuted, and now it is us Konoha who are holding Yun Yin responsible, not them holding us accountable."

Hizai replied simply.

At this time, any compromise would mean the defeat of the Hokage.

This can be seen by the sun.

The main battle faction did not want the Hyuga clan to sacrifice for this.

The status of the Hyuga clan in Konoha is self-evident, and when they go to the battlefield, they are the best eyes of Konoha and make the Konoha ninja ignore all the conspiracies and calculations on the battlefield.

If Yun Yin wants to hold the Hyuga clan responsible, then Konoha can also in turn hold Yun Yin responsible for killing them Konoha Mizuno Shinobu and drag each other down to muddy things up completely.

In response to this, in the midst of the upper ninja, a rather calm voice suddenly sounded at this time:

"If this is the case, then we should occupy international public opinion as soon as possible, amplify this matter, and take the lead."

He was about thirty years old, with two scars on his face and eyes full of wisdom.

The shinobi who spoke was none other than Nara Shikaku.

His words can be described as a wake-up dreamer.

Indeed, this matter should be well publicized, so that Konoha can occupy the commanding heights of public opinion and condemn Yunyin.

The reason why Yun Yin can arbitrarily manipulate the Hyuga clan is because when Konoha was still thinking about what to do, they had already said what happened after reversing black and white, forming a public opinion pressure that was unfavorable to Konoha.

Even some of Konoha's villagers believed it to be true. thinks that the village should hand over the murderer of the Hyuga clan to Yunyin to deal with, and can't drag down the entire Konoha because of one person, after all, it is the Hyuga ninja who is not right first, and it is natural to kill the leader of the messenger sent by Yunyin to Konoha and be executed.

Therefore, it is very important to take the lead.

They only rule others the way they do.

Ri Chop was just about to answer, but the group next to him had already taken the lead in answering:

"I've had people arrange this before the meeting. Still have questions? ”

"Nope."

Lu Jiu's face remained unchanged and replied.

At first, he was still speculating that there was someone in Konoha who had the courage to secretly plan this matter.

Now, there is no need to doubt it.

The martyred Mizuno Shinobu is probably a hidden person of the roots.

So without hesitation, sacrificed.

But it doesn't matter what the fact is, what matters is what form they Konoha want to package this fact in, causing public opinion pressure on Yunyin.

Although he doesn't like Tuan Zang's usual behavior, he has to say that Tuan Zang did a very beautiful job this time.

There is no solution to this problem.

"Damn Konoha for such a despicable way!"

The desk made of solid wood directly smashed the iron fist to pieces, and a large number of documents fell to all corners of the room like scattered flowers.

The body of the four generations of Thunder Shadow has condensed a layer of strong Thunder Dun armor, and the thunder and lightning are entwined.

The hair on the top of his head stood upside down, clearly angry.

Sakfuyi, the secretary of Shangnin, who was helpless to look at this scene, just sighed softly.

If you want to say despicable, they can only be regarded as half a catty.

Importantly, this is the eighth time this month that I have changed my desk.

If this continues, the salary of being a thunder shadow will be deducted.

To be honest, as the leader of the ninja village, it is absolutely undesirable to get angry easily.

However, thinking of the practices of the Thunder Shadow over the ages, and considering that most of the Cloud Hidden Ninjas are the main battle factions with strong muscles...... Sackcloth sighed even more sadly.

"Go to war! Start a war with Konoha now! Lao Tzu wants to go to the front line in person! ”

The four generations of Thunder Shadow are in a delicate state of loss of control.

Sackcloth couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately stopped, "Please don't do this, Lord Thunder Shadow." Now it's going viral outside, it's our Yunyin who killed Konoha Mizuno Shinobu for no reason, and it's too much. If the wind rating drops, it will affect the usual entrusted tasks. ”

"Damn Konoha! This is definitely not a means of three generations of daily slashing! ”

Although Sabuyi regained his composure, the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow still felt angry.

I think that such a method cannot come from the hands of the third generation Hokage.

The old man wasn't so insidious and vicious.

"It doesn't matter whose means it is, what matters now is how to end this matter."

Mai Buyi rubbed her sore brows.

She didn't expect Konoha to fight back in such a way.

"What else can I do, tell the truth of the matter!"

The fourth generation of Thunder Shadow said.

Yun Yin took the initiative to attack and kill Konoha's Kamino Shino, which was completely out of nowhere.

Obviously, it was the Konoha ninja named Mizuno, who rushed into the cloud hidden position with three middle ninjas, killing dozens of cloud hidden ninjas who had no time to react.

Among them, Yun Yin and two Shangnin sacrificed for this.

There the Cloud Hidden Ninja lost his cool due to anger, and this is what caused manslaughter.

"The effect is minimal, think about the Hyuga clan we used to ...... In the war of public opinion, it is very important to take the lead in the war. Even if we release the truth later, more people will only think that we are covering up our fault responsibility and creating a bad impression. Many villagers in the village have appealed before, demanding that those Cloud Hidden Ninja who killed Konoha ninjas for no reason publicly apologize to Konoha and try to avoid war, and hope that Lord Thunder Shadow will write a review to review his own mistakes of being ineffective."

“……”

The four generations of Lei Ying almost wanted to vomit blood after hearing this.

But because of this, he was able to calm down, although the expression on his face was very gloomy.

Seeing the four generations of Lei Ying calm down, Mai Buyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is that only at the mercy of Konoha? Can't you make a fuss about the Hyuga family? ”

The fourth generation of Thunder Shadow asked with a frown.

"Naturally, we can, but Konoha can also shirk it, and we have to hand over the Yunyin ninja who killed Konoha Mizunogami Shinobu in exchange for letting the Hyuga clan hand over people."

Konoha will definitely do it, Sabui can be sure.

The Huairou of the three generations of Hokage also has a limit.

She didn't think it would be a good thing for Yun Yin to let things stay in the stage of grinding their lips endlessly.

In the end, Yun Yin will end up with nothing.

For now, Yun Yin can't put pressure on Konoha anymore.

The original truth of the matter is not the main thing, the important thing is that at this time Konoha and Yunyin are tied.

Yun Yin pinched the Hyuga clan, and Konoha pinched the sore spot of Yun Yin Ninja who killed Konoha Shangshinobi, and if the two sides attacked each other's weaknesses, they would only get the result of losing both.

"Immediately convene a meeting of the upper ninja. Regardless of the outcome, come up with a reasonable charter. ”

The fourth generation of Thunder Shadow waved his hand and sighed helplessly.

"Yes."

Sackcloth nodded, and walked out of Thunder Shadow's office with a stack of papers.

"In other words, don't you need me to give Yun Yin an explanation now?"

In the conference room, the expression on Hinata Clan's face was slightly stunned.

The patriarch in front of him nodded seriously and said to him, "That's right, Hokage-sama has another decision. You survived, the sunset. ”

Mizuno Kamishinobu was killed by the Cloud Hidden Ninja, and this matter has spread within Konoha, and many people are filled with righteous indignation, and the voice of the main battle is getting louder and louder.

Based on this situation, even the Hokage couldn't suppress such a voice, so he could only slowly channel it.

Thanks to the voice of the main battle faction accounting for the majority, the Hyuga clan does not have to explain to Yunyin, and Hinata naturally does not have to become a stand-in for his brother Hinata Hinata to alleviate the conflict between Konoha and Yunyin.

After hearing the words of the patriarch, Hiza didn't know what his mood was at this time.

Whether it's happy, or rejoicing, or both.

If he survived, he didn't want to die.

He still has his own family, his son Ning Er's education, and he still has a lot of life to live in the future.

However, sometimes, for example, when the clan is in trouble, the split family cannot escape the responsibility of protecting the clan.

So, whether it was voluntary or forced, his death was a way to avoid war, as well as to protect the clan.

But at the end of the day, Hinata is only a part of Konoha either.

As a stand-in for his brother Rizu, there is no silent oppression from the village higher-ups.

After all, when the high-level people of the village come to the Hyuga clan, they will only come to find the clan and split the ninjas, and the Hyuga clan can only make suggestions, but cannot make decisions.

In terms of personality, the separation of the family is also a 'slave' whose freedom is restricted by the clan, and the idea of splitting the family is precisely what the clan and the village leaders are fundamentally unwilling to pay attention to.

Separate ninjas can't be seen as a complete 'person'.

Therefore, while rejoicing in surviving, Hinata also felt a kind of sadness in his heart.

He somewhat understands the ninjas who follow Hinata Ayane to defect to the family and village for the sake of freedom.

They want to be a complete 'person', not a furnishing tool without the freedom of their own mind and personality.

"Feeling lucky?"

The patriarch asked with a smile.

He wasn't willing to use this method to appease Yun Yin's anger.

No matter how you say it, Hinata is also a ninja who bears the name Hinata.

The Hyuga clan, since its founding, has never encountered such a humiliating thing, and needs to sacrifice the lives of their clansmen to quell the war.

But now it is a new era of one country and one village.

No matter how brilliant the ninja clan is, they still have to act according to the rules of the village.

It is not easy for Hinata to retain some traditions since ancient times.

"If not, it's impossible. No one wants to die if they can live. ”

Hizashi smiled bitterly.

The patriarch nodded and took out a letter from his bosom.

"Hizo-sama asked me to bring you, your last words, no longer needed. Because of the obstruction of Hizoga-sama, we still don't know the contents of the letter, including Hizo-sama himself, who has not opened it. Now, dispose of it yourself. ”

The patriarch said.

"Brother?"

Hiza muttered, took the envelope with complicated eyes, and stuffed it into his arms.

When you get back, find a place and burn this letter.

Indeed, there is no need for this letter anymore.

"There's one more thing I'm going to ask you for."

After handing the letter to Hiza, the patriarch stared at Hiza's face seriously, looking at him with great seriousness.

"Verify?"

Richa was confused by the sudden serious attitude of the patriarch of the sect, and he didn't know what the patriarch wanted to ask him for verification.

"Yes, verify."

The look of the patriarch who was a matter of life and death made Riza feel that things were not simple.

"Please make it clear to the elders, and I will say it if I know."

"Well, then I'll explain it directly, there are people in the branch who have come into contact with Tuan Zang."

As soon as the patriarch spoke, he broke the news of such explosive information, making Hinata sit there stiffly.

"Separation...... Touching the group? ”

Because this news jumped too much, it was impossible for the day difference to react for a while.

"That's right. Hokage-sama's side had already found out that there was a team at the root of the group that had snuck out of the village, and soon after that, there was a border conflict, and one of the village's upper shinobi and three middle ninja were killed by a surprise attack by Yunyin. ”

What does that mean? Do you think that the people who split up the family would dare to act like this without the orders of the clan? ”

There was a hint of anger in Hiza's heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

Since the Hyuga clan joined Konoha, they have never taken the initiative to reach out for power, and they are also completely forbidden by the clan.

"The timing of Danzang's attack is too coincidental, and, as far as I know, the separation ...... A while ago a couple of guys suddenly disappeared for a while, not knowing where they went and what they did. ”

The patriarch stared carefully at Hiza's somewhat angry face, trying to find out something from it.

"Without the instruction of the sect family, the people who split the family will not do this!"

The day difference still sticks to his point of view.

Although his life can be said to have been saved by Tuan Zang, in fact, he and Tuan Zang have nothing to do with each other.

The people who split up are also restricted by the clan, and even if they take the initiative to contact Tuanzang, Tuanzang will not be able to make any deals with the people who split up.

If someone from the clan comes into contact with Tuanzang, then the meaning is different.

The Zong family should be more suspicious than the separation.

"So, was Hinata's defection also at the behest of the Zong family?"

The patriarch's face became very dangerous.

Hisashi was speechless.

"However, Tuan Zang was originally the main battle faction in the village, and it was reasonable that he didn't want to make peace with Yun Yin."

"But now Hokage-sama, thinking that our Hyuga clan is secretly supporting the development of the roots, this is why Danzo has a hand to help our clan solve the siege and save the face of the Hyuga clan."

The patriarch's eyes stabbed at Hiza's body like a sharp blade.

"This is nothing!"

"It doesn't matter if there is one, the important thing is that Hinata has been suspected by Hokage-sama. The root will be the target of the Hokage's serious blow next, you go and warn the old guys of the split family, tell them not to make mistakes, and not to do such a stupid thing that insults the door. ”

The patriarch took out a piece of paper with more than a dozen names written on it.

The people with these names are all ninjas of the Hyuga clan, and a few of them are elders of high-ranking families.

"Your next task is to monitor these people. In exchange for this condition, your son Ning Ci can come to the sect family to learn a more advanced form of soft boxing. ”

“……”

Hiza's face was gloomy, and his hands were clenched into fists.

I wanted to punch my fist in the face of this patriarch, but in the end I restrained myself.

Because this patriarch and his elder brother Hinata are not enough, the other party will not show mercy to his subordinates, nor will they indulge his willfulness.

It doesn't matter if you're alone, Ning Ci can't be implicated.

"I'll keep an eye on them, but if they're okay, I need an apology from the Zong family."

Hiza stared at the old face of the patriarch, and this old face was particularly disgusting to him.

The patriarch didn't care about Riza's eyes, and after thinking for a while, he still nodded.

"If they really have no problems, I will personally apologize to everyone in the divided family at the clan meeting, and I shouldn't doubt my own clan like this."

The patriarch reassured him that he left his seat with an ugly face and walked out of the house.

The patriarch didn't care about the bad attitude.

Rather than the troubles that the separation might involve with Danzo, the first thing to do now is to dispel Hokage's suspicions about Hinata.

In Konoha, once the Hokage is suspicious, things get tricky.
