Chapter 132: The Sharp Tooth That Extinguishes the Fire (1)
The area of the Hokage building has become a mess.
Even if all the dark and garrison personnel who stayed in Konoha did their best to appease the emotions of the people, in such a level of chaos, their pacification work was still very difficult.
The video projected in mid-air has ended, but the memories left in the minds of everyone are deeply preserved.
Because not only civilians, but also many grumpy ninjas mixed in, shouting loud slogans to get the upper echelons of the village to 'give them an explanation'.
The sudden resignation of the three generations of Hokage caught everyone off guard, and even made many people secretly dissatisfied and hostile to Tuanzang. As a result, it happened that at the scene when Danzang succeeded to the position of the fifth Hokage, there was a video evidence that was made public to the entire people', so that Konoha was a powder keg,
Completely exploded inside.
The Sand Hidden Mission, which was at the core, couldn't help but sigh at Konoha's magic when they saw this scene, and then tried their best to get out of the chaotic area, fearing that the riot here would affect the pond fish.
They didn't expect that they would encounter such an absurd scene just to witness the succession ceremony of the five generations of Hokage in Konoha.
The three generations of Hokage apes were cut down and just took office... No, the fifth generation of Hokage Shimura Danzo, who has just been preparing to take office, I am afraid that he will no longer be able to stand in front of the stage, even if it is the lightest punishment, I am afraid that he will spend the second half of his life in a dark prison.
The scene was completely chaotic, and the shouting was incessant.
Even the duo of the advisory group, who are accustomed to seeing scenes, can't help but turn pale when they see this kind of scene, and their palms are covered with cold sweat.
At the platform on the railing at the edge of the rooftop, Danzou stood straight and waved his hand downward, motionless as if frozen.
Even if you don't see Tuanzang's face at this time from the front, Lu Jiu and the two advisors can imagine that Tuanzang's face is gloomy and angry at this time, and he almost wants to spurt blood.
The chill emanating from all over the body makes this place as cold as winter.
"Fire ...... Elder Tuanzang, please stay out of the way, and leave it to me and the two advisors here. ”
Lu Jiu walked to Tuan Zang's side and whispered a proposal.
It was obviously a sunny and sunny day, but the icy cold air leaking from Tuan Zang's body made Lu Jiu shiver.
"Good.
With a terrifying face that almost turned black, Tuan Zang pulled out the word from between his teeth, and then turned around tremblingly, as if he had been hit like never before, and limped away with a cane.
"Danzo-sama!"
The ninjas at the root jumped out of the darkness one after another, looking at Danzo with worried eyes.
Even they, accustomed to the squalor and darkness, don't know what to do right now.
"Let's go. "
Tuan Zang glanced at these subordinates, closed his eyes slightly, and said the word.
Xiang Wei's back looked dozens of years old in an instant.
It's just that Lu Jiu, who is under endless pressure, has no time to pay attention to Tuan Zang's mood, if the situation here is not controlled,
It could trigger an even more terrible catastrophe.
If you think about it carefully, after the middle ninja exam, nothing good has basically happened to Konoha for more than a month.
No matter how sluggish Lu Jiu is, he knows that Konoha has been calculated.
Danzo, who thought he was sure to win, became a pawn for others to disrupt Konoha.
As for who is behind the scenes, Lu Jiu has two suspects.
Orochimaru.
Chiba Shiraishi.
And judging from Danzo's previous revelation that Kakashi was Orochimaru's spy planted in Konoha, Orochimaru is a little more likely to target Konoha.
Danzou calculated three generations of Hokage, and Orochimaru calculated Danzo.
Revenge? Or is there another purpose...
Looking at the chaotic scene below, Lu Jiu's head suddenly hurt.
"You can't be wrong, that's a kaleidoscope writing wheel."
When Sasuke returned home, it was already dark.
Thinking back to the scene he had seen during the day, Sasuke was extremely sure that the man named Shimura Danzou was the Uchiha clan's chakra eye with his bandaged eyes.
Moreover, the degree of evolution of that writing wheel eye has gone beyond the structural pattern of the basic magatama, and it is a higher level of kaleidoscope writing wheel eye.
Itachi is the same level as that man, Uchiha Itachi.
But the question is, why does a person who is not of the Uchiha clan have a writing wheel eye, and it is also the highest level of kaleidoscope writing wheel eyes.
This question made Sasuke feel puzzled.
He didn't think that the person called Danzo, the writing wheel eye he owned, would be a gift from the ninjas of the Uchiha clan.
What's more, it was still an extremely precious kaleidoscope writing wheel eye for the Uchiha clan.
Sasuke figured out this problem, and felt that the origin of the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye in the group was a bit intriguing.
"There is definitely something wrong with the origin of that kaleidoscope writing wheel."
Thinking of Danzo's sensitive status as a high-ranking member of the village, Sasuke's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
Without hesitation, he pulled out a sealed scroll from his ninja bag.
This scroll was given to him by a Konoha Kamishinobu named Mizuki Yuzuki not long ago.
This person is Itachi who once shinobi under the guidance of Konoha, and judging from the tone of his sunny voice, there is a deeper reason behind the Uchiha's extermination, which is not as simple as it seems.
If you want to learn more about the truth, you have to travel to a place through the map drawn on this scroll.
There, he can get the truth of everything.
Originally, Sasuke was scornful of the contents of the scroll.
As a qualified ninja, the first thing you need to learn is not to be led by anyone, and to have your own independent judgment ability, rather than blindly following for no reason.
But what he saw and heard in the afternoon, especially the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye of unknown origin in Danzo, made Sasuke's heart begin to waver.
Who is the original owner of that kaleidoscope writing wheel?
Why did it fall into the hands of outsiders and not be recycled?
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy Sasuke's heart felt.
Even if there is a voice in his heart that keeps telling him to be calm, how to calm down in the face of this kind of thing?
Behind the extermination of the Uchiha clan, what kind of secret group is hidden behind the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye, is it related to the extermination incident?
Sasuke took a deep breath and closed his eyes, using this method to suppress the mania in his heart.
Staying in this calm state for about a minute before Sasuke exhaled and reopened his eyes. The original black and white eyes,
The flickering red light, the pitch-black pupil instantly turned into Magatama and transformed into the form of a writing wheel.
"The truth... Is it? “
Sasuke, who had been scornful about this, had a strong throbbing to explore the truth.
Regardless of the purpose of letting him do this, or if it was a trap deliberately designed for him, Sasuke decided to break through.
to seek the so-called truth in the mouth of the other person.
At this moment, Sasuke suddenly turned his face to the window, his red chakra eyes stared directly out of the window, and his voice was cold: "Who! Come out! “
After Sasuke's voice fell, a figure stood up from outside the window.
"Don't worry, it's me, Sasuke."
Shikamaru raised his hands to show that he was innocent.
Climbed through the window and stood in Sasuke's bedroom.
"Shikamaru?" Sasuke frowned, then his eyes sharpened, and he was very dissatisfied with Shikamaru's behavior of following him: "What are you doing here?"
"Well, how to put it, I'm a little worried about the situation on your side. The picture that appeared in the sky during the day, there are many suspicious things in it,
It doesn't necessarily represent the truth. Moreover, the shape of the eyes seems to be a little different from the writing wheel eye..."
That's exactly what Shikamaru was worried about.
Worried that Sasuke would involve Danzo's right eye with the writing wheel eye.
"That's a kaleidoscope writing wheel."
Sasuke interrupted Shikamaru's words, his eyes glowing with coldness.
"Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Eye?"
This kind of noun, Shikamaru is sure that he is hearing it for the first time.
"The highest form of the Sharingan, even in the history of the Uchiha clan, there are only a few people who can open their eyes."
Sasuke stared at Shikamaru's eyes.
"Really? "
Shikamaru scratched his head in embarrassment, he really didn't know much about this knowledge.
In his impression, the most advanced form of the writing wheel eye is the three-hook jade writing wheel eye. As for the more advanced kaleidoscope writing wheel, I am afraid that it belongs to the top secret level, and ordinary people can't access it at all. If it weren't for Sasuke's disclosure, even he wouldn't be qualified to access this kind of confidential information for the time being.
"In that case, Shikamaru, are you still going to stop me?"
Unlike Naruto, Sasuke knew that Shikamaru was a slacker on the surface, but in fact he was a clever ninja.
This personality has some similarities with Kakashi. At the same time, Sasuke thinks that he is the most difficult ninja.
While many people were still paying attention to what would happen to the top management next, Shikamaru was the only one who noticed him, the Uchiha orphan who seemed to have been forgotten, and quickly took countermeasures.
This kind of temporary action makes Sasuke have to be cautious.
"There's really no way to fool you like Naruto, Sasuke."
Shikamaru stopped scratching his head and sighed depressedly.
Sasuke snorted, indicating that this was the most obvious fact.
Unlike Naruto, he doesn't have Naruto's weird mindset that seems to be lacking roots, nor Naruto's innocent and pure temperament.
Perhaps he once had this trait. However, after the extermination incident, this kind of thing has long been abandoned by him.
The painful experience made him grow up rapidly, so that he no longer easily believed in others, nor did he easily open his heart to outsiders.
"Then I'll be honest, Sasuke." After Shikamaru sighed, his face was serious, and he continued: "I hope you can calm down next, and when the changes at the top stop down, I will use the power of the family to assist you in investigating the truth of this matter together." In your current situation, it is too dangerous for a person to investigate the top management. “
If the Uchiha clan were still around, Shikamaru wouldn't say anything.
But now the Uchiha clan of Konoha has long since perished, and only Sasuke is left.
Even if he occupies the status of an Uchiha orphan, if he touches some taboos that should not be touched, this identity may not be able to protect Sasuke.
"Did your father tell you to do that?"
Sasuke thought of Shikaku, the head of the upper shinobi squad.
"No, that's my personal opinion. As a classmate, and as a companion, I don't want you to have any accidents. Whether it's me or Ding Ci,
Or Ino will do his best to help you. “
Shikamaru solemnly looked at Sasuke.
In Shikamaru's opinion, Sasuke is alone to investigate the secrets of the higher-ups, which is cruel and no different from seeking death.
If this really happened, when Sasuke died on the streets, Shikamaru felt that it was normal.
As if sensing the sincerity in Shikamaru's eyes, the red light in Sasuke's eyes slowly faded, and the black Magatama also subconsciously disappeared from his pupils and became the norm.
Seeing that Sasuke's guard was lowered in his eyes, Shikamaru couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and was about to say something.
Bang!
Sasuke's figure disappeared from Shikamaru's field of vision.
A fist hit Shikamaru in the abdomen mercilessly, causing his body to bend forward involuntarily.
Shikamaru opened his mouth wide, sour water flowed from his mouth, and his throat seemed to be stuck by something hard, and he could only make a muffled sound, and the muscles on his face twitched vigorously because of the pain.
Sasuke looked at the fist that had landed in Shikamaru's abdomen and immediately ran the chakra.
For a while, the thunder in the room shone brightly, and the dense thunder and lightning covered Shikamaru's whole body, making his body instantly unconscious, and he fell to the ground weakly, convulsing his body non-stop.
Shikamaru, who fell to the ground, began to roll his eyeballs upward, and under the attack of thunder and lightning, he quickly lost consciousness and passed out.
"I'm sorry, Shikamaru, I'll take care of my own affairs, so I won't bother you."
Although Shikamaru's proposal made Sasuke feel very excited, it was too dangerous to investigate the matter of the higher-ups, no matter how you thought about it.
Sasuke is alone and not afraid of retribution from the higher-ups afterwards, but Shikamaru and the others are different.
They still have families and clansmen, and Sasuke doesn't want to implicate anyone else because of his own personal affairs.
Looking at the vast night outside, Sasuke quickly raised the soles of his feet, stepped on the edge of the window, and disappeared into the darkness with an easy leap.
Ten o'clock in the evening.
In the Hokage Building, in the conference room, there were only three people present.
Kamishinobi squad leader Nara Shikaku.
Advisor transferred to Koharu and Mito Menitis.
Due to the events of the day, the succession ceremony of the five generations of Hokage of the group was postponed for the time being, and I was quarantined. At the same time, the power of action of the root has also been greatly restricted, and the dark part, which was originally controlled, has also been restored.
Although Kakashi has lost the minister, he is also in a state of barely being able to function under the control of Deputy Minister Amazo.
In addition, many ninjas who are dissatisfied with the group have also joined in the operation of monitoring the group and the roots. Until a real conclusion is reached, Danzo will remain in a state of imprisonment.
As for the three generations of Hokage Ape Fei Sun Slash, although he is in a state of awakening, because he is suspected of being manipulated by the group and avoiding the other party's proposal, it may not be out of his own subjective thoughts, so he is also under house arrest and is monitored by the dark department.
Therefore, this high-level meeting was attended only by the head of the Shinobi squad and two advisors.
The three of them sat down around a round table, and none of them spoke first, and this state lasted for half an hour, and all three of them looked heavy and embarrassed on their faces, feeling that things were tricky.
"Anyway, let's come up with a charter first. Whether it's Hizai or Danzo, it's not very suitable for the Hokage's position right now.
In a short period of time, our side can still control it, but I'm afraid that after a long time, Konoha will be divided because the dragons have no leader."
After a long silence, Mito Menyan spoke his opinion.
"At the end of the day, there's still a lack of a true backbone, so my advice is to choose between Jiraiya-sama and Tsunade-sama.
Shikaku proposed.
"If you choose from these two, then Tsunade will be in charge. Jiraiya's personality is not very suitable for being the Hokage, and his personality is too jumpy. ”
If it weren't for the fact that there was a group of Hokage, the position of the fifth generation Hokage would have been determined to be Tsunade, so the proposal to transfer to Koharu made Mito Menyan and Shikahisa both nod in agreement.
Shikaku continued, "It seems that the three of us have the same opinion, so let's welcome Tsunade-sama back as soon as possible." I'm afraid that this matter still needs the support of Elder Tuanzang, and only he knows where Tsunade-sama is right now. “
"Will Danzou easily tell Tsunade's whereabouts?"
Zhuan Koharu became worried.
"Gotta get him to speak!" Lu Jiu slapped his hands on the table and said categorically: "I'll do the things I negotiated with Elder Tuanzang." Moreover, I also need to understand the causes and consequences of this turmoil, and I can't let Konoha let the enemy lead the way anymore. ”
Shikaku knew that negotiations with Danzou might be difficult, but now he couldn't care so much.
If Konoha's morale keeps being so low, there will soon be a big problem.
The external troubles caused by internal strife are the most terrible.
"Orochimaru? What a terrible guy, it seems that we have been too wary of Chiba Shiraishi these days, and we have ignored this dangerous guy. Ri Chop really shouldn't have been merciful at that time, so much so that now the tiger has returned to the mountain, and he has bitten Konoha back. ”
Koharu frowned in annoyance.
"There's no point in blaming it now. Act as soon as possible, the security of the village will be left to the two of you for the time being. “
Before welcoming back the new Hokage, the inside story of Danzo, as well as the security of the village, is the top priority facing Konoha right now.
After deciding on their respective tasks, Shikaku quickly left the conference room and led the dark department to the torture room to meet with Tuan Zang, who was temporarily imprisoned in the torture room.
Mito Menyan and Zhuankou Koharu glanced at each other, and they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
"I'll take care of the security issue for the time being. Koharu, you go to the Autumn Road clan for a trip, and you will take the wind out of the mountain, and you need his strength right now. ”
Akido took the wind and went out with them.,It used to belong to the upper echelons of the village.,Now it's living in seclusion in the clan land of the Akido clan.,In the village, it's also a powerful ninja who is highly respected.。 With him joining, the work pressure on their side will be reduced a lot.
"It seems that this is the only way to go."
Zhuan Xiaochun nodded in agreement, did not hesitate, and took his Shangnin to the Akido clan land.
In the center of the room, there was only a candlestick, on which a candle was lit, and after a long burn, it had burned to a small half.
Since the light of the candles is limited, only the darkness in the center of the room is expelled by the candlelight, and the deep darkness is shrouded in the depths of the room, which the candlelight does not reach.
The old man in the robe of the gods, like a sculpture, was sitting in front of the candlestick, his eyes closed, if it wasn't for the breath in his nostrils, he thought it was a dead corpse without temperature.
After a long time, a slight gust of wind slipped into the room, and the candle flame on the candlestick in front of the old man shook faintly under the breeze.
As the candle flame flickered, the shadows reflected on the wall swayed and swayed with it.
A large shadow enveloped the light of the candle flame, making the room even darker.
At this moment, the old man also seemed to feel something, opened his eyes, his pupils were deflected, and his gaze swept diagonally behind him.
"Is it Kakashi?"
The figure standing behind the old man did not answer.
When the old man retracted his gaze, the figure that was originally standing behind him instantly stood in front of him.
Driven by the breeze, the candle flame swayed, on the wall, like a gloomy ghost, waving its teeth and claws at the old man.
The figure had silver hair, and its face was covered by a mask, revealing only a pair of calm black and white eyes, silently staring at the old man's body.
Not only that, but he held a short knife that had been unsheathed in his hand, shining with a cold cold light.
None other than Kakashi.
"Judging by the way you look, you should have woken up, Sandaime."
There was no doubt that Kakashi was sure that the old man in front of him had been freed from the illusion of the Kaleidoscope Sharingan.
"Ah, I didn't expect so much to happen in these days when I was being controlled. It's not just me, but even Danzou seems to have become a pawn used by others to disrupt Konoha. “
Although when he was controlled by the illusion, the consciousness of the old man, the third generation of Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash, began to be uncontrolled, but the memory was well preserved.
Because of this, the day slash afterwards deeply remembers everything that happened to Konoha when he was controlled by the Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Eye Illusion.
He raised his head and looked at Kakashi's eyes, full of meaning, as if he had reacquainted himself with this young shinobi who had been entrusted with a heavy responsibility.
Heartache?
Remorse?
Angry?
It's all there.
But what if you continue to have such mixed feelings?
What should have happened has happened, and what shouldn't have happened has happened.
Kakashi, no, or the person who manipulated Kakashi behind the scenes, the knife he swung at Konoha hit Konoha in the most vulnerable underbelly.
Only people who have a deep understanding of the intricate relationships within Konoha can plan all this and force Konoha to this point.
"Really? But these things don't matter, I just want to ask you, Sandaimu, if time can be turned back, will you stick to the same approach as always? ”
Kakashi's question caused Hinata to fall into a long-lost silence, and he knew what Kakashi was asking.
Therefore, he did not shy away from Kakashi's calm and dull eyes, and after a long silence, he said in a very firm tone:
"Yes."
Without hesitation or dodge, Hinasaki made it clear to Kakashi that he would stick to his approach even if time turned against the clock.
"You know what? I've spent countless days and nights fantasizing about how to kill you and get justice for my father, but I feel like there's something missing. “
Kakashi's calm tone shook Hizashi's calm expression.
"So, in the past twenty years, I have thought and simulated countless times in my head, and finally found a very suitable way for you to die... And then, there is what is happening now. ”
"You shouldn't be involved in Konoha!"
Sun Slash said in a deep voice.
"So, are you going to kill me for Konoha? It's like persecuting my father. ”
"No, it was just a mistake. I didn't think it would happen. ”
"But it happened."
"I can do whatever you want, but please don't hurt anyone in Konoha who is not at fault in that matter."
The day slash is ready to lead the neck to death.
"Even now, do you still plan to carry everything as the Hokage?"
"If you can be satisfied"
Hinata closed his eyes with a sigh.
"Since you have this awareness, then one"
Kakashi also seemed to feel Hizashi's determination at this moment, and the other party planned to exchange his death for him not to make a move on Konoha again.
Kakashi raised his right arm slightly, and his right hand was released.
The white tooth short knife that was originally held tightly in his hand was thrown out in an instant.
Boom!
The blade sank into the plank.
Falling in front of the sun slash, trembling and trembling.
The white sword shone on Hizali's body, as if it was about to cut his body in the middle.
"Kill yourself."
