"Stop the water, suddenly something like this happened, and the village is also very sad."

At night, while Uchiha Fugaku is talking to Choi and Gan, who have woken up, another conversation is taking place in the Hokage's office.

"No matter what the garrison may have guessed, I assure you in the name of the Hokage that this matter can never be the result of the village's instructions.

"The Uchiha Flame Squad should have encountered an unexpected enemy. At the moment, all the patrols in the Fire Nation are looking for traces of the two children, Yanhuo and Wen. But everyone knows that the chances of surviving the missing ninjas in the past are less than five percent.

"As a ninja, there is a mission and there is sacrifice. Although it was the first time for Uchiha to go out, I am sure that those of you who have experienced that war should be able to understand that this situation is not uncommon. ”

Sarutobi said this, his hands pressed against his desk, his face still filled with anger and worry about the invasion of the territory, but his tone was more confident and frank than ever.

First of all, he himself will not send someone to do this.

He was a Hokage who had gone to great lengths to avoid any serious damage to the village, even to the point of weakness, and he would never be the first to stir up a dispute unless he had to.

Moreover, since Naruto's last Tailed Beast Chakra leaked, all the exits from the root have been under his surveillance twenty-four hours a day. None of the root ninjas who had the ability to kill the Uchiha Flame, or who could take him away directly, were out there last night.

What's more, if it is a group of people, there will be no two living mouths left at all.

Therefore, the three generations can almost conclude that this incident was committed by Konoha's enemies, and it should not be aimed at Uchiha, but Konoha.

Now he only hoped that the Uchiha's side would understand this as well, so as to avoid the escalation of hostility and the expansion of the situation, so as not to give the enemy hidden in the shadows an opportunity to take advantage of it.

"Yes, I understand that ninjas inevitably make sacrifices, and not because they are young or unqualified."

The Uchiha Shisui knelt on one knee behind Sarutobi, his bright eyes slightly lowered.

"It's just that the Flame Squad encountered a battle, whether the enemy met them by chance, or the enemy knew their course of action in advance, this is unknown.

"Besides, the place where they had an accident was only a day's walk away from Konoha and there were no less than ten patrols around, so I could also understand the reason why the people were suspicious. They could accept the sacrifice of their descendants, but they could not accept it, and it happened so close to the village. ”

What he meant was that even if it wasn't for the ninjas in the village, there should be spies inside Konoha who were inside and outside the enemy, and the status would not be very low.

Otherwise, how could the so-called enemy bypass the eyes and ears of all the patrols and come to the hinterland of the Fire Nation to commit crimes.

You must know that almost every patrol team has a perceptual ninja of the Hinata or Inuzuka clan, and if he wants to accurately avoid the detection of all patrols, even he dare not say that he will be able to do it, unless he knows the departure time and travel speed of each patrol team in detail.

In this way, it is almost possible to delineate the spies to thirty people.

"Yes, that's possible.

"So what are you going to do?"

The three generations slowly turned around, and there was a hint of inquiry in their eyes. In this case, as the only Uchiha who could potentially understand the village's position, the attitude of stopping the water was crucial.

"Hokage-sama, please allow me to resign from my job in the Shadows early."

The words of stopping the water made the face of the three generations stiffen slightly, and the fingers that were originally gently flicking on the table retracted into their sleeves, obviously feeling the crisis, and even for a moment, he thought that the water was to draw a clear line with the village.

If even the Uchiha Shisui, who has always been able to transcend the family concept, refuses to believe him, then what the other Uchiha will think is almost a foregone conclusion.

At this point in time when the situation was unclear and the secret enemy was lurking, once the village clashed with the Uchiha, he didn't dare to imagine how much damage would be caused to Konoha at all.

At least, it is impossible to maintain the title of the top of the five ninja villages on the surface.

However, the next sentence of Zhishui suddenly relieved his nervous mood.

"Originally, it was planned that after Itachi entered the dark department, he would go to patrol the border of the Land of Water for a long time, but I'm afraid I'll also ask Hokage-sama for a little leniency."

The sound of stopping the water was gentle and calm, quickly smoothing out the folds on the heart lake of the three generations.

"I hope Hokage-sama will allow me to look into this matter on behalf of both the village and the Uchiha. Only an Uchiha himself presided over the investigation of the matter could convince the clansmen of the final results. But in order to prevent unnecessary conflicts, it is better for me to do it myself. ”

“…… So where are you going to start? ”

"Please Hokage-sama give me enough permission to be able to check all the activity records of the Dark Division, the Murami Shinobi, and the Enchantment Class in the recent period."

"After completing the initial screening, I plan to go to the location of the incident and search carefully. Hopefully, when the time comes, patrols from all over the Fire Nation will also be subject to my scrutiny. ”

“……”

The three generations pondered for a while, and finally the old god nodded, hiding the faint surprise in his eyes deeply.

In fact, it doesn't matter if he can find the results or not, as long as he is not in the village, not in the Uchiha clan for a day, the Uchiha will definitely not act rashly without the number one master in the clan.

Correspondingly, because Shisui, the dark elite who has a lot of information about the village, is not in Konoha, even if he is hostile to the Uchiha, he will not say anything to "strike first" to embarrass him.

Both sides will throw rat bogeys, which is the most desired result of the ape flying sun.

"That's fine, do you have any more to ask for?"

The three generations agreed, just hoping that the Uchiha would be able to leave the village as soon as possible after being screened, or even leave as long as possible.

"At present, except for the missing Yanhuo and Wen, among the clan, only Uchiha Itachi is still on a mission outside the village.

"If the enemy's purpose is not the village, but the Uchiha, then Itachi may also be in unexpected danger. As the eldest son of the Fugaku Patriarch, if an accident happens to him, things may immediately become out of control. ”

The Uchiha Shisui then said his other purpose, "Hokage-sama, I need to know his exact location, can you tell me about the mission he is on?" ”

The three generations of Hokage looked directly into Shisui's clear eyes, and seemed to have some doubts, but finally agreed.

……

Clan land, Uchiha Fugaku family.

Although it was late at night when Fuyue returned from the hospital, all the shinobi in the clan were sitting on the practice ground in his backyard one by one.

On their bodies, there was an extremely strong and extremely cold low-pressure cyclone, as if it would erupt into a terrifying storm at the slightest touch.

The mothers of Uchiha Gan, Wen, and Cui stayed in the Japanese room with Uchiha Mikoto, except for Uchiha Gan's mother, who was not a ninja, so she hid her face and sobbed from time to time, the other two mothers all looked solemn and seemed to be ready to listen to the bad news.

"Ladies and gentlemen."

Fuyue didn't change his shoes, and walked directly to the terrace outside.

More than a hundred eyes stared at his face without blinking, eager to hear the answers he had received from the two survivors.

"The operation is over, but fortunately, the two children, Uchiha Gan and Uchiha Cui, are fine and will soon be able to move freely."

He paused, as if waiting for his people to react. But there were only a few dozen statues in front of him, and his black eyes were deeper than the bruised night.

"According to their own accounts, it was they who heard the explosion when they went out to check their surroundings and set up traps, and they also saw the light of the fire escape ninjutsu explosion, so they immediately withdrew. As a result, less than 20 meters away from the gathering place, the two were swept away by the sudden burst of mud at the same time, and then they were pushed down the hill slope, rolling all the way, and finally falling off the cliff. This is not much different from the judgment of the patrol. ”

Fu Yue shook his head regretfully, "In other words, what happened to Yanhuo and Wen, they didn't see anything, and they didn't know anything. ”

room on the roof on the second floor.

Sasuke grabbed Yoshiyu's arm tightly - the latter had been called back by the doppelganger who had stopped the water, and it was too dangerous to stay outside the Konoha barrier after such a thing.

"Yiyong, Wen Ta, nothing will happen, right?"

Sasuke heard his father's words clearly, his face was as white as paper, and his lips were slightly blue from the fear of losing his friend.

During the month that Uchiha Itachi went to Sand Hidden Village to take the middle ninja exam last year, the three of them were the first to train with him.

The Uchiha was the mildest of the three, and every time he returned to the clan to get practice equipment or buy something, everyone instructed him to go with Yoshiyong.

Although during this time, Sasuke has been studying hard in the garrison and rarely has the opportunity to meet each other, but it is the first time for Sasuke that a person who was familiar with him in the past suddenly becomes a missing person.

Yoshiyoshi heard Sasuke's question clearly.

But in the past, if the Raven had informed him that a civilian or a ghost slayer had gone missing—90 percent of the time, they were dead.

His face was as dark as a lake, and his memory had been extinguished for a long time, and what he thought he would never experience again had happened again.

Only this time, he knew that most of the perpetrators were not ghosts, but people with complex purposes; It wasn't a stranger who disappeared, but a friend he had met before and invited him to a banquet, a child under the age of thirteen.

That was the age when he joined the Ghost Slayer and started training.

It's called Uchiha Yanhuo, who is not very familiar with him, and has also helped him and Naruto a lot, and now he is only sixteen years old.

For the first time, he was not looking at the people under the eaves with the eyes of Tomioka Yoshitoshi, but as Uchiha Yoshiyu.

He also wanted to know the whereabouts of the two children, and tried to avoid the fact that they might have died.

Below, as Uchiha Fugaku expected, when he heard that the only two "witnesses" actually didn't know anything about it, the clan fell into a furious rage.

This means that it is almost impossible to find the whereabouts of the other two.

"Think no more! Flame is the most outstanding genius of the clan after Zhishui and Itachi, and it must be because of this that he was targeted! ”

"Three generations once allowed Orochimaru to conduct human experiments in the village, and at that time, there was also a family of people missing! This time it must be a similar reason! ”

"In a place less than a day away from the village, taking people away under the noses of more than a dozen patrols, who else but the Konoha Shadow Department can do it!"

"Go directly to the Hokage Building and force them to hand them over!"

"Use illusions on those patrolmen, and we're going to hear them tell the truth!"

As the saying goes, the group extinguishes the wisdom of the individual, and this is even more true for the Uchiha clan, who are already very paranoid.

In this atmosphere of excitement and volcanic eruption, even the calmest group of Uchiha Shinobi gradually turned red and breathed irritablely, and joined the call to "surround the Hokage Building".

The disappearance of Yanhuo and Uchiha was only a fuse at best, and what really made them so indignant was that the clan's history as the founders of Konoha was covered up; It was the prejudice and hostility that had increased dramatically since the Nine-Tails Rebellion six years ago; It is the hard work of the garrison that has not been duly recognized and appreciated......

They had been suppressed and silent, until today, when the first Uchiha junior genius to become a shinobi in two years suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the fuse was truly ignited.

Sasuke was shocked by the momentum of his clan, and took a step back with a hollow gaze, and sat down directly on the roof. Yi Yong tried to calm his mind as much as possible, hoping to do something for the two missing children, instead of merging into the torrent of anger and creating more problems.

Fortunately, the Uchiha stopped the water and walked out of the corner, causing everyone's momentum to suddenly stop.

But before the clansmen could turn their guns and attack him, Shisui had already calmly said to Fugaku, "Patriarch, I have resigned from the position of the Hokage's direct Shadow Division. ”

A few clansmen who were about to say something unpleasant quickly shut their mouths, and although Fuyue was surprised, he just nodded calmly.

Zhishui flexibly walked to the middle of the clan, and the person next to him made room for him, and asked in disbelief, "Is this true?" ”

In the Third Ninja World War, for the name of the Uchiha, the instant water stop that has been running to the front line of the war, has it finally returned?

"Well, that's what happened after all."

Zhishui nodded lightly and sat down as the hostility of the clan faded.

"If everyone is still willing to trust me as before, I am willing to investigate the disappearance of Yanhuo and Wen personally, and I will definitely give everyone a satisfactory result."

In this matter, except for the initiator, no one knows better than Zhishui what may be going on behind it.

Yesterday, after he had ruled out the possibility of all the Sangotama people going out to perform illusions on the Uchiha Yanhuo, an outsider with the Sangotama Writing Wheel Eye was his primary suspicion.

It's just that he hasn't told anyone about this speculation yet.

When the clansmen heard that Shisui was not used as a fighting force against the Hokage, but as a peacemaker, they were immediately a little disappointed.

But in the eyes of Uchiha Fugaku, who had not yet made up his mind, this was an excellent opportunity to calm down his clan a little. The shōnin, who had been following him all along, knowing that the Uchiha was not ready to fight against the village, also nodded approvingly.

"Whatever we do is not justified without tangible evidence, and we need time to prepare in detail. In that case, then this matter will be handed over to Zhishui to investigate-"

Before Fugaku could finish speaking, a small figure jumped from the roof, and then Sasuke's frightened voice came from the roof: "Righteousness! ”

"And me."

Yi Yong's eyes were like cold knife frost, and he said in an irrefutable tone: "I'm very good at finding people. I'm going with Zhishui. ”

This time, he had nothing superfluous, by the way, to do something for the purpose.

Yoshiyu Uchiha, now just wants to know the whereabouts of his few friends.
