It turns out that there is no way to draw conclusions based on suspicion and speculation alone.

At this moment, with the concerted efforts of countless people, the entire Konoha Prison has been dug up, but under the devouring of the Four Elephant Sealing Techniques, there is nothing left underground, and nothing can be seen.

When all the gravel at the bottom is cleaned up, you can vaguely see a smooth semicircular depression at the bottom, with a maximum diameter of hundreds of meters, and even a depth of forty or fifty meters.

As you can see from the outline, it was supposed to be a circle, but the upper part collapsed and was so shattered that it could no longer be seen.

Nara Shikamei stood on the edge of a smooth, semi-circular depression and looked down, his eyebrows furrowed, lost in thought.

Stomp, stomp!

Yanmen took steps, slowly walked to the side of Nara Luming, learned him to look down, frowned and asked:

"Senior Luming, what did you find?"

"Who the hell would dare to launch a surprise attack on the Hokage in our Konoha!?"

Yanmen looked indignant and gritted his teeth and said.

Alas, the acting is still not up to par, and I should squeeze out a few tears.

The same is true of Mitarai Zixiao on the side, who is also angry.

Nara Shikamei pondered for a moment, and then said, "Judging from the current situation, the enemy should be using some kind of large-scale offensive ninjutsu, which is extremely powerful, and the range of the impact reaches hundreds of meters. ”

"And you see, what was left behind after the attack was such a smooth surface, in the shape of a semicircle...... I speculate that its full shape should be a full circle, just ...... The top half has been reduced to a pile of rubble. ”

As he was talking, Nara Luming walked to the pile of rubble, picked and picked out a few gravel, and then pointed to the smooth surface of the upper part, with a wise look in his eyes, and said to Yanmen and the others: "Look, these are the evidence. ”

Everyone thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

"And then?"

"What the hell is Hokage-sama doing now, is it ...... Sacrifice? ”

At this time, it was the son of Sarutobi Hizashi, Sarufei Shinnosuke, that is, Konohamaru's father.

I saw him looking at the ruins not far away with a sad face, and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.

In addition, his hands and clothes were covered with mud and dirty, and he thought that he had participated in the excavation work just now.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke is about the same age as Yanmon, just ten years old this year, and is still attending a ninja school.

However, due to the war, the completion time of the ninja school was compressed to four years, that is, in another half a year, Sarutobi Shinnosuke should graduate.

Originally, Sarutobi Hiza's arrangement for Shinnosuke was to enter the dark department after graduation, and then as a direct subordinate to the dark department, responsible for his safety work. This not only makes Shinnosuke's resume look better, but also puts his son in front of him and can take care of him at any time.

Well, it can only be said that he is worthy of the Hokage, and he is so unscrupulous in using his power for personal gain.

Merely...... The plan can't catch up with the change, and Sarutobi has killed himself, as his son's Shinnosuke, it is not yet known what will happen after graduation. The specific arrangements are estimated to be determined until the fourth generation of Hokage comes to power.

······

Back to the present.

Faced with Sarutobi Shinnosuke's question, the sparkle of wisdom in Nara's eyes disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by silence.

The people around him also lowered their heads slightly, looking sad, and couldn't bear to look at Shinnosuke.

In this situation, the answer is already obvious.

Three generations of Hokage, as well as two advisors, were sacrificed...... Oh, and there's a group collection......

In addition, there are some prisoners who also died in this incident, but no one cares about their lives or dead at the moment.

Drain ......

Suddenly, there was a light rain in the sky, and the weather was slightly cool.

As the saying goes, an autumn rain and a cold, there was just a heavy rain at noon, and there is a light rain tonight, as if to indicate that winter is coming.

And the timing of these rains is very interesting, as soon as a person dies, the sky begins to rain without saying a word, as if it can't set off sadness without a little rain.

In the crowd, Yanmen, like everyone else, silently lowered his head, his eyes showing grief.

What's more, it happens to be raining now, and Yanmen can't even save tears.

Otherwise, he was really worried that he wouldn't be able to cry.

At the moment, the more grief he shows, the less suspicion there is in him.

Of course, in the eyes of smart people, his suspicion cannot be shaken off for the time being, but the real situation is that there are really not many smart people in the world, and smart people often know how to judge the situation very well, what to say and what not to say, they have a scale in their hearts.

So Yanmen only needs to fool most of the less intelligent people.

In the center of the crowd, the silence of everyone made Shinnosuke understand a cruel truth, that is...... His father, the third Hokage of Konoha, has already died.

With a thud, Shinnosuke sat down on the muddy ground, his eyes blank and his body trembling slightly.

Someone wanted to go up and help, but was pulled by the people around him and shook his head: "Just let him cry for a while." ”

"Alas, three generations of adults, it's a pity."

"I heard that his youngest son was born not long ago, and it is really ...... to have no father at such a young age."

Someone whispered.

······

"That's it!"

At this moment, Nara Luming spoke again, he looked around and said, "Immediately block the news, the news about the accident of the three generations and the two advisors must not be spread out now!" ”

Among the people present, Nara Shikamei's position is the highest, and as the squad leader of the upper ninja class, everyone has to listen to him in the absence of the Hokage.

Therefore, he could only temporarily put away the sadness in his heart and at the same time give the order to block the news.

At this time, it was wartime, and once the news of Hokage's death spread, the consequences would probably be ...... Unpredictable.

Yan Yin and Yun Yin naturally don't need to say much, they are fighting hotly at this time, but I'm afraid that Wu Yin and Sha Yin also have some kind of thoughts.

It is true that at present, Shayin is dealing with Yuyin, but the so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and Yuyin's people are really not enough to see in front of Shayin, if it weren't for going deep behind enemy lines, coupled with the vast land area of the Land of Wind, which can fight guerrilla warfare, Yuyin would have been defeated long ago.

That's right, Hanzo is powerful, but no matter how powerful he is, there is only one person, and the human sand is not bad, Chiyo and Ebizo are still there, and in the case of two against one, he has the upper hand steadily.

During this time, Hanzo was blocked by Chiyo and Ebizo more than once, and although he was allowed to run away each time, his injuries became worse each time.

It's true that Konoha is providing information to Hanzo, but Konoha doesn't want Yuyin to really defeat Shayin, the best result is to lose both, so that the southwest direction of the Fire Country will be completely stable.

Therefore, there is some information, and Konoha will deliberately prolong it, or simply not provide it, and let Hanzo go to fight with Sha Yin.

Although there is a suspicion of not being able to contribute, there is still help after all, but now that Konoha has undergone a huge accident, the root that is the root of cooperation with Yuyin has also been disbanded, and this Hanzo is completely out of support.

Of course, there are still supplies from Konoha or something, but it's just intelligence or something, so it's basically gone.

It's just that the time is still short, and if Hanzo wants to get the news, it will take a long time.

After all, Tuan Zang was arrested last night, the root was disbanded in the afternoon, and the others died tonight, so I'm afraid that the relevant news hasn't spread yet, let alone Nara Luming asked to block the news at this time.

On the other side, on the Wuyin side, they had just been defeated, signed an agreement, and paid a large amount of war reparations.

It seems that they will not be able to start a war anytime soon, but no one can guarantee 100% that if they learn of the Hokage's death, they will be ready to make a move, and they may suddenly make a comeback one day.

Therefore, the news about the death of the Hokage must be blocked, and it can be sealed for as long as it can, preferably until the fourth generation of Hokage comes to power.

······

After giving the order to block the news, Nara Shikamei said again: "Pass my order, except for the Shangnin who has a task on his body, all Shangnin will immediately go to the conference room for a meeting!" ”

"Yes!"

The crowd took orders.

Before leaving, Nara deer called several shinobi and ordered: "Protect the scene, no one is allowed to destroy it!" No one else is allowed to come close! ”

Afterwards, Nara Luming looked at Yanmen and said, "Yanmen-kun, let's go together." ”

Yanmen let out a depressed "um", and then followed Nara Luming's side step by step.

On the way, Nara Luming said: "Until now, there is still no trace of the three generations of adults, and he may really be more than lucky." ”

"Alas!" Yanmen sighed heavily.

"Yanmen-kun, what do you think of the four generations of Hokage? Who do you support? Nara Luming said expressionlessly: "As far as I know, with your merits and prestige as Yanmen-kun, you can also run for the position of the fourth generation Hokage, you ...... Any ideas. ”

Yanmen turned his head, his eyes were gloomy, and he said with a depressed expression: "It's all this time, why do you want to test me, Senior Luming, I have already told the three generations that I have no interest in the position of Hokage, I don't want to be, and I won't be." ”

As for who I support, isn't it obvious that the answer is obvious? As a disciple, of course, you have to support your teacher. ”

After carefully observing Yanmen for a while, Nara Luming said with a smile: "It's also ha." ”

After that, the two of them stopped talking, and Mitarai Shiyo, who was following them, was also silent.

After a while, several people stepped into the Hokage building together, and then walked towards the conference room on the second floor.

At this time, the conference room was already full of people, and everyone who got the news and knew the seriousness of the matter did not dare to delay for half a minute, and all arrived as quickly as possible.

They were still wet because of the rain, but no one cared.

I saw them sitting in their seats with solemn faces, and neither of them spoke, but everyone could see the solemnity and grief in each other's eyes.

The oppressive atmosphere filled the entire conference room until the arrival of Yanmen and his party.

The moment the door was opened, Yanmen and Nara Luming appeared in front of everyone, and they stood up in unison.

Seeing the two of them, everyone seemed to see the backbone, especially Yanmen, whose strong strength brought everyone a strong sense of security.

After all, even Hokage-sama was "assassinated" in the village, and everyone was worried that it would be their turn, but now that Yanmen is here, their worries can all be put down.

"Why are you all standing, sit down."

Seeing that Yanmen didn't mean to speak, Nara Luming spoke.

Because of this, Nara Shikamei began to believe that Yanmen really had no interest in the position of Hokage, otherwise it would be a good time.

Whew......

Nara Shikaming walked to the position that belonged to the leader of the upper ninja class and sat down, and after Yanmen glanced around, he finally chose a position diagonally opposite Nara Shikamei.

In fact, with Yanmen's strength and status, no one said anything even if he sat in the position of Danzo, Zhuan Koharu or Mito Menyan, as long as he didn't sit in the position of the Hokage, but he sat in the middle very low-key.

Seeing this, Nara Luming's eyes moved slightly, and then he looked around to confirm that the upper shinobi had arrived, and he said in a deep voice: "Call everyone here at night, I think you all know what the reason is, it doesn't matter if you don't know, I'll talk about it roughly." ”

"Tonight, the three generations of adults and two advisors went to Konoha Prison to visit the former advisor group zang, but there was an accident halfway, the entire dungeon was shrouded in some unknown ninjutsu, including the three generations of adults, two advisors, Danzang and many prisoners disappeared, so ......"

Nara Shikamei took a deep breath and continued, "Therefore, we deduce that it is very likely that the three generations of adults have already died!" ”

Rumble!

After listening to this, some Shangnin, who didn't know much about the situation, seemed to explode a thunderbolt in their minds, and the whole person was completely stunned.

"Hokage-sama sacrificed? How is this possible......"

"How so?"

"What kind of enemies and ninjutsu can ...... Hokage-sama and them silently?"

"Could it be Hokage-sama, they were just transferred, but they weren't actually dead." Such doubts have been raised.

Nara Shikaming nodded: "I can't rule out the possibility of this, but we can't wait so long, it's a time of war now, once the news of the Hokage's disappearance spreads, it will be a very heavy blow to the morale of the front line, therefore, blocking the news is a point, and the most important thing is that we ...... It is necessary to finalize the candidates for the fourth generation of Hokage as soon as possible. ”

"As soon as the sacrifice of the third generation is confirmed, the succession of the fourth generation is immediately arranged. Only in this way can we stabilize the morale of the frontline and the people's hearts. ”

After Nara's words, there was silence in the conference room for a few seconds, and then everyone exclaimed.

"Is it time to decide on the candidates for the fourth generation?"

"yes, will it ...... Too hasty? And, what if three generations are still alive? ”

"No, I think what Squad Leader Luming said makes sense, first finalize the candidates for the four generations of Hokage, and wait until the situation of the third generation is completely determined, and then decide whether to let the fourth generation succeed him."

"I'm for it!"

"I'm in favor of it too."

For a while, everyone expressed their positions, some were in favor, some were against, and some were silent.

Yanmen didn't speak, but silently observed everyone, and when everyone was almost finished, he stood up and said loudly: "I agree!" ”
