Chapter 45: The Aftermath
In the Hokage building.
Sakushige Hagi presented a report on the handling of the Iwakure spy attack to the third generation.
The three generations with the pipe in their mouths carefully read the practice report, the content of which was concise and concise, and the result was like Shuo Mao's knife skills, crisp and neat, without any intention of dragging mud and water.
"Very well, Shuo Mao-kun." The three generations were very satisfied with the results of Hagi Shuomao's handling of this incident, "You are worthy of being the best shinobi in the village, or you are the most reassuring to me." ”
"Hokage-sama praised it." With some humility, Qimu Shuomao said, "The village is full of talents, but I have more opportunities to flash the light of the short blade. ”
"Shuo Maojun is still as humble as ever." Sandaime smiled and shook his head, "Your merits are obvious to everyone, so you don't need to be too modest." ”
Qimu Shuomao pursed his lips and smiled, and said no more.
"What do you think of Uchiha Tokumitsu?" The three generations changed the subject.
“…… The strength can be described as strong and fierce. "Hagi Shuomao and Uchiha Tokumitsu are also in contact for the first time, "The five attackers who attacked now were all defeated by him alone, four of them were killed by his swordsmanship, and three of them were still swordsmanship, and the means were more cruel, but it can also be seen that his swordsmanship also has a certain attainment, and his strength is relatively abundant, otherwise he would not be able to cut off the enemy with one sword, by the way, he also awakened the writing wheel eye of the three hook jades, at his age, he can be described as a genius person......"
Regarding the words of Qimu Shuomao, the three generations are also noncommittal.
"However, Deguangjun's relationship with the village seems to be too deep." Hagi Sakumo continued, "I went to ask my colleagues in the dark department, and although this matter is indeed a gaffe in the dark department, the reason why Uchiha drew his sword against each other is because of Uchiha Tokumitsu. ”
"He's the heir of the Uchiha Moment." Miyome took a few puffs of his pipe.
"The moment of the Uchiha radicals...... "Hachiki Sakushige was a little surprised, "Didn't he retreat?" ”
"The old guy will not retreat." The three generations snorted coldly, regardless of the fact that Sanqi Twenty-One first charged the radical Ansai with a bunch of crimes, "Most of the reason why the Uchiha clan has fallen to the current situation is because of their radical guys. ”
In this regard, Qimu Shuomao did not speak out.
"Shuo Maojun is really an upright gentleman." Miyome sighed, "How do you think the responsibility for this matter should be pursued?" ”
"Regarding the infiltration of spies, there are serious deficiencies in the counter-espionage work in the shadows; And the spy is lurking and fails to investigate and deal with it in time, and the police department's investigation also has an unshirkable responsibility. Hachiki Sakumo replied without hesitation.
The third generation nodded approvingly, "It's worthy of Shuo Maojun, and he is as fair as ever." ”
"Then the matter will be dealt with as you say." The third generation picked up a brush and brushed the incident report to write the disposition opinions of Hachiki Sakushige, and stamped it with the Hokage's seal.
"I'll leave it up to you to deal with this matter." The third generation handed the incident report to Hagi Shuomao, "It just so happens that you can also use this to get acquainted with the personnel of the police department." ”
"I don't think anyone in the village wants to have anything to do with the Ministry of Police~" Sakumo Hachiki took the report document and said with a few jokes.
The three generations were stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
After Hagi Sakumo left for a while, Mito Menyan and Koharu pushed the door and walked in.
Seeing that they were two old friends, the three generations just said hello and continued to work.
"Hizai, are you leaving all the attacks to Shuo Mao to deal with?"
"Yes." Miyome leaned back in his chair and took a deep puff of his pipe, "Shuo Maojun is an upright person, and everyone is willing to obey when he deals with incidents. ”
The smoke that spreads between the pipes reflects the uncertainty of the skin.
Mito Menyan and Koharu looked at each other, and then Koharu said: "Although Shuo Shige is an upright person, his heart is delicate and gentle, and he is full of love for the village and his companions, and the village sometimes has to protect him from touching some dark sides......"
Although Koharu's words were a little tactful, the meaning was unambiguous.
The three generations also only lowered their heads and smoked fiercely, not committal to the words of their old friends.
Seeing this, Mito Menyan and Zhuan Koharu were inconvenient to stay, so they stopped dragging mud and water, and left with their leave.
The three generations didn't speak, but just waved goodbye to the two.
……
When Hagi Sakumo came to the police department, Uchiha Tokumitsu was boasting about the various things in the border troops with a large group of police officers, and Uchiha Makoto stood with a slightly timid look and pinched the corner of Uchiha Tokumitsu's clothes.
When Uchiha Zhongxuan walked in with Hachiki Shuomao, he couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Xiao Deguang, don't brag, otherwise the police department is already understaffed, and if you are still asked to abduct some personnel, it will be fine." ”
Uchiha Tokumitsu just laughed, after all, he was his own father, and it was not easy to refute.
"This is Shuo Mao-kun, who came here on the orders of Hokage-sama to deal with the spy attack, and in addition to the incident, he also wants to meet you, a little guy." Uchiha Nakagen smiled and introduced, "Sakumo-kun can be said to be the most upright person in the village. ”
"Hello, Shinobu Sao Shinobi." Uchiha Tokumitsu's face was grim, and he said.
"Deguang Shangren is not welcome." Qimu Shuomao scratched his head, "Actually, it's nothing, but after all, you are the direct victim of the incident, so I'll talk to you by the way now." ”
"Please, Sakumo Shangshinobi." Uchiha Tokumitsu said politely, "I know everything about your problem. ”
Hachiki Sakumo nodded slightly, and then asked about the incident and how the Uchiha Tokumitsu killed the attacker.
After a question and answer, Hachiki Sakumo put away his notebook and said with a smile on his face: "Tokumitsu Shangshinobi, thank you for your support of my work." ”
"Shuo Mao Shangnin is polite." Uchiha Tokumitsu hurriedly said, "You are the most famous shinobi senior in the village, and we and other juniors should learn from you." ”
For the tragic figure of Hagi Sakumo, Uchiha Tokumitsu is actually full of curiosity.
He really didn't know what kind of rumors could defeat a powerful Shangnin, and what a desperate situation it would be for a determined Shangnin to kill himself.
He didn't understand that the Hokage family allowed the rumors to spread, didn't he understand the damage to an upright shinobi who was full of affection for the village?
“…… Tokumitsu Shangnin? Uchiha Tokumitsu was thinking wildly, and Hachiki Sakushige asked with a few doubts, "Are you listening to me?" ”
"Oh ~ haha, I'm sorry." Uchiha Tokumitsu came back to his senses and smiled awkwardly, "Shinobu Shinobu Sakumo, please speak." ”
"Hmm~ Actually, it's not a big deal." Qimu Shuomao rubbed his chin, "I just asked you when you plan to return to the border troops, how about you and me when you and I go together?" ”
"That couldn't be better." Uchiha Tokumitsu was overjoyed, he had already heard of the strength of Hagi Sao Shige, and he could ask for advice when he went together, "I will return to the Northwest Frontier Force in three days, but there may be a little more of my entourage at that time, and Sao Shimo doesn't mind." ”
"This couldn't be better." Hagi Shuomao said with a smile on his face, "That way, I don't have to eat and drink all the way, and it just happens that I, a poor shinobi, can enjoy good treatment while I am in the light of the Uchiha." ”
"Shinobu Shuo Mao is really too humble......"
"Okay, okay~" Qimu Shuomao waved his hand, "Your little girlfriend is already very, very opinionated, I won't block the two of you." ”
Qimu Shuomao's words caused everyone to chuckle.
Uchiha Makoto's face was as red as a ripe peach, but the hand that was holding the corner of Uchiha Tokuha's bare clothes did not relax in the slightest.
