"I didn't expect that guy from Tuanzang to really make a move......

In the Hokage's office, Hizaki put down all the work at hand and was reading a piece of information from the shadows.

Rumors began to spread in the village on a small scale against him, the Hokage.

- Mu Dun experiment.

At least twenty or thirty years have passed since the original Mu Dun experiment.

Although the executor of this experiment was the root led by Danzo, the person who gave the order was none other than him, the Hokage.

Therefore, this rumor is not strictly true.

But the Mu Dun experiment he initially led was not itself forced.

Instead, after signing the consent form, the injection of the original Hokage cells began.

These materials and the original consent form have all been preserved intact, so it is impossible for the group to be too flustered with this kind of thing.

As long as the information of the year is made public, although there is no way to eliminate all the impact, at least it can make Tuan Zang's plan go to waste.

The only tricky part is that it involves Orochimaru, who has already defected from the village.

Traitorous ninja will be severely hostile in the village.

If Orochimaru is also involved in public opinion, then the testimony he provides will obviously be less convincing.

Because Orochimaru is also one of the participants, it is still him, the Hokage, who personally assigned the important researcher who assisted the root at the beginning.

This is what Hinata feels most difficult for him.

Although he has a headache with Danzo's moves, Hizap is still able to maintain his composure.

Tuan Zang would make a move, he had already expected it.

It is impossible for Danzou to watch the Hokage's position fall into the hands of others, and he will definitely take advantage of this gap to compete with him, the Hokage.

"Kakashi, immediately lead the shadows to stop these rumors, and don't let these rumors grow in scale."

Hizashi instructed Kakashi, who was standing in front of the table, to give him orders.

He is not afraid of these slightly whitewashed rumors, but letting them develop is not what Riji wants to see.

As long as Tsunade returns quickly and decides her position as the fifth Hokage as soon as possible, then these rumors are a secondary issue.

"Yes."

Kakashi nodded, and left the office using the teleportation technique, with completing the order of the Hinatal Slash as his first priority.

Shortly after Kakashi left, the office door was hurriedly pushed open.

"Hokage-sama, something is wrong!"

"Don't panic, Lu Jiu, this is Tuan Zang's move."

Seeing Lu Jiu, the leader of the upper ninja squad, hurriedly breaking in, he even gave up his usual etiquette of knocking on the door, which shows his current uneasy state.

Compared with Lu Jiu's panic, Ri Chop was much calmer and comforted him.

"Has Kakashi gone over to stop the rumors?"

Shikaku also knew that he seemed to be over-anxious, but the opponent was the man who was known as the dark of the ninjas, and he couldn't afford not to be nervous.

Different from the previous petty fights, Tuan Zang is here for real this time.

Therefore, after learning about the rumors in the village for the first time, Lu Jiu ran directly over.

Compared with the well-informed news of the dark department, the news channel of the Nara clan is a step slower.

"I've already sent Kakashi over, and the influence caused by those rumors will soon be under control."

Hinata smoked his flue.

Lu Jiu's heart was at ease, and then he said: "Since this is the case, the follow-up deployment must also be arranged in advance, and Elder Tuanzang must have a backhand." ”

"What do you mean......"

"Let the people from the garrison join in and assist in the shadows. I'm worried that the rumors will get worse, and I am afraid that the people in the shadows alone will not be able to handle it. ”

Lu Jiu said with a serious face.

Danzo has more than just the power of the roots.

He is the leader of the Konoha Martial Arts faction.

The root is only the most representative organization of the Konoha Martial Arts Sect, but it is not the entire Martial Arts Sect.

If Tuan Zang mobilized all the strength of the Martial Arts Faction, then there was no way to stop it by relying on the shadows alone.

Even, even with the addition of the garrison, Lu Jiu doesn't feel very safe.

Hizashi pondered for a moment, and after thinking about it, he ordered into the air around him, "Tell Kakashi to have the people from the guard join the action." ”

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

The Shadow Ninja, lurking in the shadows, left in an instant, chasing Kakashi's pace with Hizari's orders.

After seeing the darkness leave, Shikaku then asked, "Hokage-sama, I want to ask, when will Tsunade-sama be able to return?" ”

Relying on rumors to influence public opinion in the village is only part of the group's plan, which is the so-called appetizer.

The real killer is yet to come.

In this case, only by bringing Tsunade back to Konoha as soon as possible can the hearts of the people be stabilized.

The root of the contradiction lies in the selection of the five generations of Hokage.

As long as the identity of the Tsunade is established as soon as possible, no matter how much Tuan Zang has to plan, he can only stop fighting.

"It's not clear yet, I've already gone looking for it, and I'm sure there will be news coming back soon."

After being silent for a while, Hizashi said to Shikaku.

"After all this time, there is still no news coming back?"

Lu Jiu was surprised.

He remembered that he had been out for more than half a month, and there were even two groups of shadows following and assisting, how could it be that no news had been sent back at all?

"I'm also surprised by this matter, but now I can only trust that Jiraiya's side can handle things well, and at this time our opponent is mainly Tuanzang to prevent his next move."

"That being said......"

Lu Jiu faintly felt uneasy.

"What do you think Danzo will do next?"

Hinata looked at the leader of the shinobi squad who had been trusted by him and asked for his opinion.

Tuanzang has already started to make a move, so this 'battle' will not end so easily.

Rumors are only the first step, and there will definitely be a second, third, and even more means to make their side tired of dealing with them.

If the two sides continue to consume in this way, it will disrupt all the internal management of Konoha.

But it is not so easy to bring down Tuanzang, at least in terms of force, it is impossible to do it.

The power of the martial arts faction is not as strong as before, after so many years of development, it has begun to occupy a certain voice in the village, not to mention that there is also the root of the leading sheep, it is not easy to defeat them.

Moreover, once force is used, it will inevitably lead to very serious consequences, and there may even be a civil war, so that other countries will take advantage of the situation.

That's not what Hinata wants to see.

Therefore, Hisashi hopes to solve this problem in a peaceful way.

Even if there is an armed conflict, try to avoid escalating the incident.

"To be honest, I don't know what Elder Tuanzang's next move will be, and I don't know what he relies on to do so......"

Just as Lu Jiu spoke, the door to the office was pushed open again.

And the action of pushing the door is quite rough.

The two men who had just arrived walked into the office almost at the same time.

Mito Gate Inflammation, turn to sleep Koharu.

Obviously, those rumors in the village, they also know very well who is secretly plotting, and Tuan Zang's actions make them uncomfortable.

"Hiza, what's going on with you and Tuan Zang?"

Faced with the questioning of the two of them, Richo frowned, and then let go and answered: "This kind of question, you should ask Tuan Zang, not me." I also want to know what Tuanzang wants to do when he spreads these rumors. ”

"Is it because of the position of the fifth Hokage?"

Mito Menyan said in a deep voice.

Hizai sighed, took a puff with the cigarette stick, and acquiesced.

"That guy ...... Danzang"

Zhuan Xiaochun also secretly gritted his teeth, dissatisfied with this behavior of Tuan Zang.

When Hizai saw this scene, he felt bored in his heart.

He didn't believe that these two old friends couldn't see that this was a dispute that Tuan Zang took the initiative to provoke.

But these two people came to him first to ask for the law, obviously knowing that they could not find a breakthrough from Tuan Zang, so they could only come to him to nag, hoping to let his side settle the matter, and take the initiative to negotiate with Tuan Zang to eliminate the rumors in the village.

Because the rumors are allowed to ferment, no one knows if more characters will be pulled out and more people will be provoked.

"Hiza, what are you going to do about this?"

Mito Menyan asked, looking directly at Hizai.

"I've asked the people from the dark department and the garrison to control the direction of the rumors, and it's not up to me to decide when it will end."

"But you're the Hokage!"

"I'm not going to be anymore soon, and now, I'm powerless to suppress Tuanzang's ambitions."

Hito's words surprised Mito Menyan, but he quickly calmed down.

"No matter what, you are all unique characters in the village, and you can't let people from other villages see jokes. Hopefully, this farce will end soon, and we will also help to control the rumors in the village. ”

As advisers, the two of them also have many cronies under them, who can assist the underworld and the garrison in their operations.

No matter how long this fight for the Hokage continues, the rumors must be controlled, not left unchecked.

"If you had been on my side like this before, things wouldn't have gotten to this point."

Looking at the figures of the two of them leaving in a hurry, Ri Chop lightly spit out smoke rings, and his eyes showed complicated colors.

"As a consultant, I have my own difficulties."

Lu Jiu said on the side.

After all, there are many people staring at that kind of high position, and it is human nature to want to firmly grasp the authority of the consultant.

"But the current situation does not allow them to be the grass on the wall anymore. The balance that Konoha had maintained for many years was about to be broken. ”

Richo coughed, although he was still stubbornly struggling, but the momentum on his body was no longer as good as in his prime, and he was full of depressed twilight.

Suffering from the political struggle within the village, coupled with the pressure imposed by the external ghost country, his body, after all these years of hardship and suffering, has long been exhausted.

"So, continuing with the previous topic, how do you think this incident can be brought to an end? Or, how can you buy enough time before Tsunade returns? ”

Hinata looked up at Shikaku.

"It's impossible to completely control the rumors, and the only way is to negotiate with Elder Tuanzang."

"I'm afraid this is also the situation that Tuan Zang wants to see."

Hizai naturally knew that if he wanted to solve the rumor problem once and for all, he could only negotiate face-to-face with Tuanzang.

But this means that his side has given up the initiative and will gradually increase the chips on Tuanzang's side.

Until the situation becomes clear, Nichisha does not intend to do so.

"I can't think of anything else."

Shikaku shook his head.

At this point, exploring the rumors alone is not the key to turning the tide.

As for the truth of those rumors, Lu Jiu will not consider it.

If this source is not cut off, public opinion in the village will continue.

The rumor is not terrible, but the terrible thing is that Danzang wants to use this rumor to accomplish some unknown purpose.

That's what Shikaku was worried about.

◎

The process of controlling the rumors has not been smooth.

Because of the scarcity of people, Kakashi only controlled the rumors in the downtown area, and as for the rumors in some remote corners, they should still be spreading secretly, and the content of the rumors is becoming more and more outrageous and out of reality.

For example, at the beginning, we still talked about the Mu Dun experiment, and the three generations of Hokage desecrated the bodies of their ancestors. Later, he pointed the finger at the three generations of Hokage and used the power of the Hokage to secretly steal the children in the village, conspire with Orochimaru, conduct forbidden research, and gain stronger power to control Konoha.

Afterwards, it was investigated by an unknown elder called 'Danzo' and exposed Orochimaru's ugly deeds, but because there were still three generations of Hokage as a shelterer, Orochimaru escaped from Konoha calmly even if the matter was revealed.

Even after leaving the village, he still had a broken connection with his mentor, the third generation Hokage.

This is also the reason why Orochimaru has been able to stay away for so many years.

An unknown elder reprimanded him many times to no avail.

In short, there is no way to determine whether many things are true or false, but they are spread in a good way.

Even if an insider like Kakashi heard it, he had to sigh that the root did have a hand in spreading rumors.

Although these voices are still very weak, the influence of such content will continue to accumulate.

When it accumulates to a certain extent, it doesn't matter whether the content is true or not, the important thing is that this is the fact that people recognize.

At that point, it's all over.

Therefore, such a voice must be suppressed and not allowed to grow stronger.

……

"They are talking nonsense, Grandpa Hokage is not that kind of person!"

Hearing those gossips on the streets, Naruto couldn't restrain the anger in his heart and clenched his fists, wanting to go up and reason with those people.

"Don't mess around, Naruto. Those are just ordinary people, and if you hit them, you will be arrested by the guards immediately. ”

Unlike Naruto, although Sasuke is also angry with these rumors, he also knows that these civilians who spread rumors are just a group of people who follow the trend, and the real hateful ones are the people who manipulate all this behind the scenes.

He has always had a good impression of the three generations of Hokage, and he doesn't believe that the other party will collude with a dangerous figure like Orochimaru.

"But their words are too ......"

Naruto was speechless.

"Sasuke is right, we're just going to be busy with this kind of thing. Let the specialized personnel of the dark department and the security team deal with it. ”

Sakura also came to stop Naruto and told him not to act rashly at such a time.

Although the rumors continue, not everyone is blindly following them.

The people who have benefited from at least three generations of Hokage are fighting on the basis of reason, and those who spread rumors are beginning to fight against each other.

Shinobi, who has a very good impression of the three generations of Hokage like Class 7, is naturally on the side of the Hokage, and is at odds with the rumor-mongers.

"The most important thing now is to do your part, if you fight them now, it will only put Hokage-sama in an even more disadvantageous situation."

Sasuke was calm.

As middle ninjas and lower ninjas, they can only wait and see what happens.

In such a struggle, they are honestly dispensable pawns and cannot play any key role.

"Get up, where is the pervert teacher?"

Naruto didn't see Ebisu's figure, so he asked.

"When such a big thing happens, Ebisu-sensei can't sit still, and it is estimated that the shinobi are all mobilized now."

Sakura said helplessly.

"Damn! Don't let me know who did it! ”

Naruto could only reluctantly withdraw his fist, enduring the vicious words of the people around him towards the Hokage.

"Let's go back, it looks like all the missions are going to be stopped in the past few days. When you encounter something, don't be rude. ”

Sasuke shook his head, and after reminding Naruto and Sakura, he wasn't in the mood to stay outside and left directly.

When something like this happened, the seventh class didn't even have the mood to cultivate.

◎

"Looks like things aren't going well."

The father who left in a hurry, but now he came back in a hurry, and Shikamaru, who was sitting in the corridor of the house, turned his head and said.

Lu Jiu nodded with a heavy heart and without concealment.

"I didn't expect even you to know."

"It's hard to think about this kind of thing when you walk around outside. So, what's going on on Hokage-sama's side? ”

The village was already full of rumors against the Hokage, and even if it was suppressed by the shadows and the garrison, it would take time to take effect.

If nothing is done on the Hokage's side during this period, it will definitely make this matter worse and make people inside Konoha panic.

"With the current level of rumors, it is impossible to shake Hokage-sama's position. But that's where the worst part lies. ”

"It's like a warm-up before the game, that's what you think."

Shikamaru spoke with a very vivid metaphor.

He didn't know about the group and the roots, but it didn't prevent him from making such speculations about the people behind the scenes.

In fact, in the chess and card game he is good at, this is also a very classic and commonly used tactic for both sides.

The people behind the scenes want to take advantage of this to test and find out the cards in the Hokage's hand.

And the Hokage had to respond to this.

Shikaku glanced at Shikamaru.

"What's the matter, Dad, you won't let me get involved, right?"

Shikamaru saw that Lu Jiu looked at him with a strange look in his eyes, and his heart suddenly tightened.

Although his brain is good, he does not feel that with his current ability, he can enter this level of political struggle.

"How could it be. Although I am very optimistic about your future, this kind of thing is not something you can get involved in now. ”

"Then you are ......"

"Don't go out and walk around lately. Even if you go out, take the family guards with you. ”

Lu Jiu's face was serious.

"So serious?"

Shikamaru was shocked.

"You don't know how dangerous this person is, the first time I met Elder Danzo, I thought he was a very dangerous ninja. He can do whatever it takes to achieve his ends. I don't think his next move is limited to rumors, and the time is uncertain......"

Lu Jiu didn't go down, but what exactly he meant, with Shikamaru's mind, quickly understood.

- Use force to force the Hokage to comply.

If things turn out to that extent, it is likely to cause a civil war in Konoha.

"Is it that serious?"

Shikamaru felt that this consideration was too far from reality.

"When you sit in my place, you will understand how terrible this person is. As a planner, you have to take all the circumstances into account to ensure that nothing goes wrong. Moreover, force is also a way to assert political influence. ”

But once the force is launched, it means that things have reached an irreconcilable point.

From the standpoint of the Konoha ninja, Shikaku hopes that Danzou will not go that far.

However, he could not pin his hopes on Danzang's kindness.

"I'll be stationed at the Hokage's side next, and I'll bring some of my clan over to help by the way. Remember to tell your mother later, I don't eat at home these days. Also, no matter what happens, don't send anyone to me. ”

Lu Jiu finished this sentence and disappeared towards the end of the corridor.

"Do you have a choice for self-preservation?"

Shikamaru looked at the back of Shikaku's vanishing and thought of the last sentence, 'No matter what happens, don't send someone to me'...... Essentially, the worst-case scenario is already being considered.

For example, the Hokage lost this political battle, and the elder called Danzo ascended to the throne Hokage.

The Nara clan's support for the three generations of Hokage is limited to the next part of the people that Shikaku brought over.

However, once the Hokage has an accident, the Nara clan must take refuge in Danzo to ensure that the family is not liquidated by the new Hokage afterwards.

The contract with the Sarufei clan has existed since the Warring States Period, I'm afraid it's ......

"It's really a troublesome adult game, isn't it okay to just pick it up? You have to make things so complicated......"

Shikamaru scratched his head and stood up, after Shikajiu mentioned this, he was not in the mood to spend time here leisurely.

◎

"How's it going?"

In the base of the root, Danzang looked at his subordinates standing in front of him and asked.

"It is proceeding according to plan, and both the dark and garrison units are active. Not only that, but the advisors seemed to be leaning towards the Hokage's side as well. ”

The root ninja replied.

"Don't worry about those two old things, our main opponent is the third generation Hokage."

Although Tuan Zang's face was very cold when he spoke, when he heard the word 'advisor', he could vaguely feel the deep disdain in his tone.

For him, the position of the advisers at this time is no longer important, no matter who they support, they cannot change the current situation.

He even hoped that the two old advisers would not know how to raise them again, so that he would have an excuse to get rid of the advisors at that time.

It's a pity that those two people are very good at protecting themselves, and it is a bit unrealistic to want to take this opportunity to kill the two of them.

Moreover, the two of them will also need to appear later to help the root stabilize the situation.

Therefore, Tuan Zang decided to let the two of them go.

The premise is that the two consultants know how to advance and retreat, and do not touch his bottom line.

A colleague, he doesn't want to do things perfectly.

For the sake of Konoha's future, even the descendants of the mirror can be ruthless and seize the other party's kaleidoscope writing wheel, and now it is not bad to sacrifice these people.

On the contrary, if these people are sacrificed to make Konoha better, he will not be stingy with the butcher knife in his hand.

"The pigs, deer and butterflies are ...... over there."

"When it comes to trade-offs, they will arrange it themselves, and the rest of the ninja clan will do the same. They have a big family and many times they don't put their eggs in one basket. The ninja clan, who don't understand this truth, have disappeared from the history of Konoha. ”

A smile appeared on Danzang's gloomy face, giving people an unusually terrifying feeling.

"Danzo-sama sees it clearly."

The root ninja bowed his head.

"Now, let's move on to the next step. It's time to put an end to this boring farce. ”

"Yes!"

The root ninja stepped back.

Leaving Tuanzang alone, he turned around and walked towards the huge iron gate that had been open behind him.

"Next, it's the old man's ......"

Only the old man can lead Konoha to the strongest! Tuan Zang's face was firm, and his eyes were as sharp as knives.

Passing through the huge pitch-black iron gate, the figure quickly disappeared.
