Chapter 144: Revisiting the Water
Sarutobi stood in front of the window, his head down, and his eyes calmly looked at Tuanzang's back.
"Hokage-sama, Orochimaru, and Danzo"
Behind him, Nara Shikaku's voice rang out, and Sarutobi raised his hand to interrupt him.
Although he can't say that he knows everything about the research of Danzang and Orochimaru, he still knows the general direction of the experiment except for the details.
Even if the two of them secretly continued the taboo research behind their backs, he actually knew, but he didn't want to stop it.
On the contrary, as long as the other party is not too excessive, he is still happy to see it.
After all, whether it is an inter-column cell experiment or a human experiment, once there is a major achievement, it can make Konoha's strength rise by at least one notch.
And when their research results are obtained, they can directly make this matter public, which can not only stifle people with bad intentions, but also obtain powerful and usable intercolumnar cells, and they will not be burdened with infamy, killing multiple birds with one stone.
And because the two were worried about being discovered by themselves, the frequency of recruiting 'volunteers' was not high, so the two sides continued to push forward the experiment in a strange tacit understanding.
Orochimaru expects to seek immortality from the cells of the human body;
Danzou thirsts for great power to help him become Hokage;
The ape is ready to pick the fruit after the experiment is successful.
If you succeed, you all have a chance to win a bright future.
But this incident was exposed at this time.
Compared to Tuan Zang, Ape Fei Ri Slash was no less angry than the other party. Because this shows that there is a third force in Konoha that is about to move, which is unacceptable to him as a Hokage.
The older you get, the more worried you are about things happening beyond your nose, especially at this juncture.
When Tuan Zang's figure disappeared into the sky, Ape Fei Ri Chop slowly spoke: "Investigate secretly, remember not to startle the snake." Also, when chasing Orochimaru, pay attention to his escape route. ”
With the degree of concealment of the research institute, most of the people who want to be discovered have internal responses, and the 'root' is heavily guarded inside, but the core character Orochimaru has a lot of suspicions.
As his teacher, Ape Fei Ri has a faint feeling that this matter is inseparable from the other party.
Similarly, Danzang also guessed this, and even locked up the most suspicious guy due to poor information.
'Smack——! ’
With a crisp sound, the jade teacup shattered into small pieces of porcelain and countless residues, and Tuanzang's chest rose and fell violently, panting heavily, and his red eyes looked at the samurai armor in front of him.
"Hoshino Makii! It's you! ”
In the face of the thunderous roar, the armor did not move.
Seeing this, Tuan Zang snorted coldly, shook his wrist, and took out a kunai from his sleeve, and in the blink of an eye, he came to the armor, and the blade was about to pierce the puppet's face.
The cold light was getting closer and closer, and in the blink of an eye, Kunai finally stopped on the tip of the puppet's nose, and he couldn't get his hands down.
It's not because Hoshino Mu said that Horuto-sama said that he was overjoyed, but now Danzo wants to become the Hokage and can't do without the person in front of him.
What does Hoshino Maki have to lose by really tearing his face?
It's just a puppet.
It's hard to say if the other party has any other puppets in Konoha.
And he lost his hope of becoming the Hokage.
After all, now that Sarufei Ri has at least the clues in his hands to conduct human experiments, even if he uses all his strength to defend Konoha, it is difficult to say whether the other party will turn over old accounts in the future.
At this time, the only way to help yourself is to borrow external forces, and the one who is most likely to help you is Hoshino Maki.
Who made Hoshino Maki the only one of the five ninja villages not want to destroy Konoha , and even if he can become a Hokage by cooperating with others, he is afraid that he will be the last Hokage.
But being put on a white face by the other party, Tuan Zang's breath in his heart was really difficult to swallow.
"Hokage-sama, I'm sorry I didn't arrive in time for something to deal with just now."
Just when Danzo's face was cloudy, the puppet suddenly opened his eyes, and Hoshino Mu ignored Kunai, who occupied one-third of his line of sight in front of him, and greeted Danzo with a warm smile.
Danzou pursed his lips, removed Kunai, and stepped aside to pour himself a cup of tea.
Hoshino Maki also walked over, picked up the teapot that Tuanzang had just put down, and poured himself a cup, looking familiar.
"The institute has been attacked."
Tuan Zang said calmly.
"Hmm, did Yun Ren do it?"
Danzo looked at Hoshino Mu in front of him with doubts on his face, and sneered in his heart.
Yun Ren wants to have this brain, and Konoha has already exchanged one with the other party.
"I don't know. Also, Orochimaru escaped. ”
Hoshino Mu crossed his arms around his chest and said, "So. . . What does Hokage-sama need me to do? ”
"It's nothing, I just want to remind you that Orochimaru has an arrogant personality and is a noble three ninja, and no one can really make him surrender."
Tuan Zang took a sip of tea and looked at Hoshino Mu's eyes with burning eyes: "Snakes, they can't be raised." ”
Hoshino Mu nodded: "That makes sense, but Sand Hidden Village is located in the desert, and I'm afraid I don't need to think about the matter of Orochimaru." ”
Tuanzang was about to say something, and suddenly heard an anxious voice from the mountain wind outside the door: "Lord Tuanzang, there is an emergency!" ”
Tuan Zang frowned slightly, stood up and walked to the door, pushed open the door, and as soon as the mountain wind opened his mouth, Tuan Zang immediately stopped the other party, turned around and said to Hoshino Mu: "That's all for today's conversation, I still have something to deal with." ”
As he spoke, he closed the grille door and left.
Hoshino Mu narrowed his eyes and watched the other party's figure disappear outside the door.
Even if Tuan Zang deliberately pretended to be the same as usual, his steps were still a little hasty.
This kind of gaffe is not common in Tuan Zang~
Hoshino Maki manipulated the puppet to walk back to its original location, and then opened his eyes and returned to the Kazekage's office.
Hoshino Maki tapped the tip of his middle finger on the table, and after half a salary, he suddenly stopped: "Dark, is there any news of Fog Ninja or Cloud Ninja recently?" ”
The door was quickly pushed open, and a member of the dark department bowed his head and replied respectfully, "My lord, not yet. ”
Hoshino Mu nodded as usual, he was used to the fact that the dark team didn't know anything about things outside of the wind.
After all, the dark part of Sand Hidden City was already thin, and it was demolished and rebuilt by him.
And his newly formed dark department can only maintain stability in and around Sand Hidden City, and it is still too difficult to collect information thousands of miles away.
"Go and inform the troops stationed on the Konoha border. Never mind. ”
He originally wanted to make it easier for Orochimaru to get out and come to Sand Hidden City, but after thinking about it, if Orochimaru couldn't even do this thing, it would be too insulting to the name of the three ninjas.
Thinking of this, he waved his hand and let the shadows leave.
Hoshino Mu rubbed his eyebrows and sighed, he didn't expect that after becoming a wind shadow, he would have to carry out the task of finding out the news by himself.
But the news that can make Tuanzang lose his temper like this must be important news that can change the direction of the situation, Hoshino Mu doesn't know it, and now that he knows it, he naturally has to find a way to profit from it.
He closed his eyes, his mind moving slightly, and the next moment, in the storage room in the backyard of a bathhouse in Konoha that had been renovated and leaked, an ordinary-looking ninja opened his eyes.
Due to the existence of the Hyuga family, he needs to think about the problem of white eyes.
In fact, without Hokage-sama's approval, the Hyuga clan is forbidden to use white eyes in the village unless it is in special circumstances such as an enemy attack, and even if it is used, it cannot be used against people.
Although there is no talk of privacy in this era, no one wants to be snooped on.
Moreover, some of the family's secret techniques are closely related to the flow of chakra, so that the Hyuga family still has the risk of leaking secrets, so to speak, the blood inheritance boundary of the Hyuga family must be subject to many restrictions in the village, otherwise it will not be like the original detonation charm buried for decades without being discovered.
But Hoshino Maki still cautiously chose to hide the puppet in the bathhouse.
It's not that the people of the Hyuga family don't take a bath, it's that they don't look down on this kind of bathhouse for civilians at all, so they won't come here at all.
And as the war progressed, the people of Konoha were not in the mood to take a bath with spare money, and there were not many people here on weekdays.
Hoshino Maki casually took a piece of the clothes of a former guest and put them on, and walked quickly to the door.
——
"Stop the water, go have a drink?"
"No, there will be tasks in a moment."
Uchiha Shisui smiled and politely declined the invitation of the two clansmen, and walked briskly in the direction of home with his hands in his pockets.
When he walked to the door of the house, he suddenly paused, and his eyes instantly became sharp.
The figure flashed, and the next moment he had come to the smoke-smoking windowsill, and he was bitter in his hand.
"Stop the water, the meal is ready, wash your hands and eat."
The sound coming from inside the room made the Uchiha pause, then stayed where he was for a few seconds, adjusted his breathing, and walked into the room as usual.
"Kazekage-sama, I didn't expect to see you again at my house."
Uchiha Shisui bit the words heavily on 'my home'.
Hoshino Maki brought out a pot of fish soup and put it on the table, sat down and said casually, "It doesn't matter where you are, it's who you talk to." Senju Tsuruma and Madara Uchiha only met by a stream, didn't they? ”
"What, you think you're the Pillar-sama?"
Meeting in this way twice, Uchiha Shisui felt less awe in the other party's heart, and there was some sarcasm in his tone.
Hoshino Mu shook his head: "The life of the Thousand Hands Pillar is a failure, and I will not become a failure." ”
Uchiha Shisui tapped his finger on the table, and his voice was heavy: "This is Konoha, Kazekage-sama." ”
Hoshino Mu's face did not change, and he filled himself a bowl of soup, and said at the same time: "The Thousand Hands Pillar obviously has the strength to unify the ninja world, but he is content with one village, and at the same time, he has given other villages a weapon that is enough to threaten Konoha - the tailed beast. He said that he wanted people to live a peaceful life away from war, but he firmly occupied most of the world's resources and was unwilling to share them with other villages, which planted the seeds of hatred between Konoha and other villages. ”
"The current predicament of Konoha is just the outbreak of the contradiction squeezed during the period between the Thousand Hand Pillars, and it will continue to be repeated in the future until the destruction of other ninja villages or the destruction of Konoha."
After Hoshino Mu finished speaking, he took a sip of soup and looked at the Uchiha Shisui, who had not spoken: "Do you know who is the one who has failed more than the Thousand Hands Pillars?" ”
Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Hoshino Mu smiled: "It's not a failure to be the second child once, but if it's always the second child"
Uchiha Shisui frowned: "If you want to provoke the relationship between Uchiha and the village, I'm afraid you're looking for the wrong person." ”
Hoshino Maki shook his head: "Does the relationship between Uchiha and Konoha still need to be provoked by me?" For your people, I think you know better than me, they have long written their dissatisfaction with the village on their faces, especially after the cloud ninja raided Konoha Village, the Uchiha clan must have been even more excluded after returning to the village, right? ”
After speaking, Hoshino Mu's words changed: "Of course, I really don't want the Uchiha clan and Konoha to be monolithic, and not only me, the entire Konoha is probably only what you want." ”
"And what are you coming to me for?"
This is also where Uchiha Shisui has always been puzzled, the other party is dignified and windy, even if he is talented, as a Konoha ninja, a member of the Uchiha clan, the most likely relationship with the other party is the enemy, what is he doing when he comes to himself?
Instead of answering his question, Hoshino asked another question, "Have you awakened the kaleidoscope?" ”
Looking at the Uchiha Shisui's squinted eyes, Hoshino Mu nodded and sighed: "Stopping the water in an instant, it's really a genius~ Who do you want to control with him?" Fugaku? ”
Uchiha Shisui's already round eyes suddenly widened, looking at each other incredibly, his brain was blank, and immediately, he distanced himself from Hoshino Mu: "You know how to read minds?!" Wrong! Mind reading is not possible to this extent. ”
"I don't know how to read minds, don't worry, no one knows what you think but me."
How could Uchiha stop the water rest assured, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, but seeing the other party's different appearance from the first time he came, it was like a basin of cold water poured down from the top of his head.
The other party is a puppet, what can you do if you kill him?
Hoshino Mu didn't seem to feel the other party's killing intent, and drank the fish soup by himself: "If you don't drink it, I'll finish it~"
The Uchiha took several deep breaths, sat back in his chair, and said in a deep voice, "Kazekage-sama, I know you're good at tricks, but no matter what, I won't betray Konoha anything. ”
Hoshino Mu put down the bowl and looked at the other party suspiciously: "When did I want you to betray Konoha?" ”
Hoshino Mu was stunned for a moment after speaking, this was somewhat familiar, as if he had said this more than once.
Suppressing the strangeness in his heart, without waiting for the Uchiha to stop speaking, Hoshino Maki spoke first: "What do you think is needed for Konoha now?" ”
Uchiha Shisui glanced at the other party and muttered, "Peace and stability. ”
"Then do you think that if you control Fuyue and let him give up his hostility towards the village, the two sides will be able to reconcile?"
Uchiha's lips twitched for a moment, and he spoke: "Lord Fugaku is the patriarch, and with his support, the clansmen will also converge. When the village sees our goodwill, it will also take a step back. ”
"Ape Fei gave you a guarantee?"
Hoshino narrowed his eyes and pierced the vague part of the Uchiha Suzumi with a sharp shot.
Seeing that the other party was about to speak, he interrupted the other party again: "Let's not say that Sarutobi's promise is really true, if Fugaku asks you to kill the entire Uchiha clan, will you do it?" ”
"Impossible! Fugaku-sama would not give such an order. ”
Uchiha Shisui shook his head decisively, this is crazy.
Hoshino Mu spread his hands and said, "Nothing in this world is impossible, since you don't do what the patriarch says, can you guarantee that the other clansmen will obediently listen to the patriarch?" ”
Hoshino Mu stretched out two fingers and pointed at his eyes: "When the time comes, how many eyes do you have?" Stop the water. ”
