The Konoha Intelligence Department, led by the Hyuga clan, is in chaos.

Although Patriarch Hinata forced a polite smile on his face, his face was indeed not very good-looking.

After Uchiha Tokumitsu launched a purge campaign within Konoha in the name of the Konoha Governor's Office, the Ministry of Police, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Intelligence Department led by the Hyuga clan were the core departments that carried out the plan.

The targets of the purges are the "Ninja Village faction" and the latent remnants of the old Hokage clan that have been jumping up and down in the House of Representatives recently.

But what made the Hyuga patriarch most unhappy was that the Ministry of Police and the Ministry of Internal Affairs jointly formed a working group in the name of coordination in the vicinity and stationed the Intelligence Department, and urged the intelligence ninjas to issue targeted arrest applications to the opposition in the village.

Although Uchiha Tokumitsu brazenly launched a large-scale censorship and purge campaign in the village, he still looked at procedural justice very much on the surface.

In terms of Konoha's current power structure and division of powers and responsibilities, the Ministry of Intelligence is only responsible for intelligence collection and analysis outside the village, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is only responsible for the elimination of foreign-related spies, and the Ministry of Police is the standing security force of Ninja Village.

But if the police department's actions are backed up by conclusive information from the Ministry of Intelligence and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the arrests are carried out in the name of colluding with other ninja villages to endanger the village, then everything is justified.

It's just that the intelligence department run by the Hyuga clan is an "outsider" to the Uchiha clan after all, so the Ministry of Police and the Ministry of Internal Affairs simply put it on the fire and asked it to issue a "conclusive" suspect analysis to facilitate the police department's arrest.

Naturally, the Hyuga patriarch who was forced to be a big villain must be very unhappy in his heart!

However, the so-called "Joint Working Group of the Ministry of Police and the Ministry of the Interior" has already been stationed in the Ministry of Intelligence with the warrant of the Governor's Palace, and has commanded those intelligence officers from different families, as if he has no other posture, so the Hyuga patriarch can only knock out his teeth and bloody throats.

Moreover, yesterday afternoon, the Hyuga clan's allies, Inuzuka and the oil girl, were openly taken away in the clan land, and the Hyuga clan was afraid of being burned again.

"In an eventful season, the clan will not be ......"

The Hyuga patriarch forced a smile on his face to communicate with the Uchiha Shinobi of the working group, and at the same time looked at the members of the sub-family who were being commanded and turned around and looked like they were enjoying it, and he felt a special feeling in his heart.

The ninja who separated from the family and the patriarch of his clan were separated from morality, so it was uncomfortable for anyone.

It's not that the Hyuga patriarch didn't think about fighting or correcting the family style or something, but the thought of those split ninjas who served in the shogunate gave him a headache, and he could only secretly strengthen his control over the clansmen.

And the reason why the ninjas of the Zong family were transferred to the Ministry of Intelligence was also something that could not be helped, because there were not many people in the Hyuga clan in total, and after removing a few old guys from the Council of Elders, the Zong family had no manpower to control the intelligence department of Nuoda, so they had to use the members of the Zong family.

And the people of the family...... It seems that there is no idea of parting ways with the Uchiha clan for a long time.,It's full of trying to behave well and be recruited by the Ministry of Police or the Ministry of Internal Affairs.。

"My lord, there are seventy-nine suspected ninjas, the list is ...... here"

A ninja from the family stepped forward to report.

The Hyuga patriarch took a casual look, and there were no Hinata and the names of the ninja clans such as Inuzuka and Oil Girl in the surname, so he handed it to the Uchiha Kamishinobi of the working group.

"Transfer it to the police department and arrest all of them!"

The Uchiha Shinobi of the working group took a look at it and confirmed that the candidates in the list were the same as those he had hinted at, and the chain of evidence was also very complete, and at first glance it seemed that it could withstand scrutiny, so he summoned a ninja from the police department and ordered him to send the list to the police department headquarters for arrest.

Immediately, Uchiha Kaminobu took out a document again, and handed it directly to the Hyuga patriarch without saying anything.

"This ......"

The Hyuga patriarch took it apart and took a look, but it was all the relevant personnel of the Konoha ninja who had just made the chain of evidence and were about to be captured......

He did a rough calculation, and this time it was as high as more than 1,200 people...... Among them are not only ninjas, but also many ordinary people who are listed as "promoters of public opinion".

"Your Excellency, these personnel will help again, and ask Hinata's brothers to work overtime to add some information......"

Uchiha Kamishinobi's tone was very modest, but the content of his words made people shudder: "Of course, Your Excellency the Minister can cross out the names of fifty people if he feels it is necessary. ”

“…… What are you going to do? ”

Patriarch Hyuga was silent for a while before asking.

But he was not idle in his hands, but after casually scribbling the names of a dozen or so people, he handed them over to the ninjas under his command to concoct various evidence chains.

Since the Uchiha clan said that they could give up a list of fifty people, he couldn't just refuse, otherwise he would be considered disgruntled; It can't really cross out the names of fifty people, otherwise it will be considered as intentional cover-up. So, just cross out a dozen or so names.

"Lord Deguang said that this overkill must be overdone."

Uchiha Kamishinobi said very politely: "Of course, as we all know, Hinata = is the most loyal family among the Konoha ninja clan, so it will definitely not be involved." ”

Patriarch Hyuga closed his eyes and stopped talking.

He seemed to feel that a patch of blood seemed to be spreading in the darkness in front of him.

And he is the accomplice who set off this bloody storm......

……

All along, Uchiha Tokumitsu's image in Konoha has been arrogant and sleek, a little different from the stereotype of Uchiha ninja who has a quick temper.

However, when everyone thought that Uchiha Tokumitsu would solve this House of Representatives turmoil through political means, the purge storm set off by the three Konoha ministries made everyone fall through their glasses.

"In one day, the Ministry of Police and the Ministry of Internal Affairs took away more than a thousand ......"

In the Orochimaru Mansion, Orochimaru and Jiraiya sat opposite each other, and their faces were extremely complicated.

It can be seen from the list that this time the purge action set off by Uchiha Tokumitsu not only suppressed the "Ninja Village faction" led by Mimura Hamaki, but also expanded it to all potential oppositionists.

"The Hyuga clan is still in cahoots with the little cubs of the Uchiha family......"

Jiraiya said through gritted teeth.

Although the various arrest operations have not involved a few apprentices of the original three generations of Hokage, many of Orochimaru's subordinates and Jiraiya have also been taken away in the name of "possible suspicion of collaborating with the enemy".

And the two of them couldn't do anything.

Resist, that's looking for death.

Uchiha Tokumitsu not only transferred back a part of the Uchiha ninja army, but even brought back the three-tailed human pillar force back to the village, under the absolute military superiority of the Uchiha clan and the deterrence of the tailed beast weapon, no one dared to act rashly.

Don't resist, the ninjas of the Ministry of Police and the Ministry of Internal Affairs who openly broke down the door and arrested people in broad daylight have already made the people of Konoha panic.

In such a situation, no one knows whether they have made a mistake, let alone whether they have been implicated.

"Mr. Shuo Mao has not expressed his position......

Jiraiya saw that Orochimaru had been silent, so he said to himself, "Could it be that this time the two of them joined forces to do it?" ”

"By the way, what we said when we visited together that night could be used as a lever?"

Immediately, Jiraiya's face changed again.

“…… You've been going to the women's soup a few times lately! ”

Orochimaru finally spoke, "Otherwise, if you are caught, no one will be able to fish you out!" ”

"Hey, hey, hey! I'm talking about those puddles in the police department! ”

Jiraiya suddenly shouted dissatisfiedly: "Say it again! That's art! Art understands! ”

“…… Do you think the people in the police department think your actions are art or crimes? ”

Orochimaru snorted coldly, "Besides, Mr. Shuomao......"

Suddenly, a knock at the back door of Orochimaru's mansion interrupted his words.

“…… It's someone from the police department. ”

Orochimaru felt it intently and said.

"It's not going to be me, is it?"

Zilai's face suddenly changed.

“…… I don't know, I'll go check it out first. ”

Orochimaru got up with a solemn face and prepared to go out to watch the door, and casually tucked a scroll on the table into his sleeve.

"Hello, may I ask if this is Ethan Kamininfu...... Oh~ It's Orochimaru. ”

An Uchiha ninja with a somewhat unfamiliar face said with some surprise.

"Ethan Kaminobi's Mansion is next door, and this is the back door of my house, so there is no house number."

Orochimaru also let go of the hand that was gripping the scroll in his sleeve and pointed to the portal next door.

"Okay, thank you Orochimaru for your support of the work of the Police Department, and I wish you a happy life...... We hope for your understanding if you are disturbed. ”

The Uchiha ninja looked at the household map in his hand and said politely.

Then with a wave of his hand, the police department ninja surrounded the house next door, and the Uchiha ninja led by him stepped forward again and began to knock politely.

"Hoo ......"

Orochimaru returned indoors as usual, and Jiraiya, who had been listening intently to the movement outside, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You just stay here obediently these days, otherwise Tsunade won't be able to save you if something happens......"

Orochimaru put the scroll in his sleeve back on the table and lowered his head to drink a cup of tea.

His back was also slightly wet.

……

Patriarch Hyuga also walked home a little absentmindedly after getting off work.

After the police department began to arrest dissidents in Konoha Village, the streets of Konoha were much more depressed to the naked eye.

Especially the shops controlled by the ninjas, although they are still open to do business, but the doors are crowded, pedestrians are afraid to avoid them, and even the faces of the staff sitting in the shops are also with a look of panic, whether they are looking left and right, lest a group of ninjas from the police department suddenly take them away.

"Hello, do you work in the Ministry of Police or the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

The Hyuga patriarch suddenly heard a conversation in front of a fruit stall not far away.

"Nope."

"Okay, so do any of your family members or immediate family members work in the police or interior department?"

"Not really."

"Do you have friends who work in the Ministry of Police or the Ministry of Internal Affairs?

"Not either."

"Okay, the amount of fruit I just bought is not enough, please return the money immediately, otherwise I will report you to the police department!"

Hearing this, Patriarch Hinata couldn't help but smile dumbly.

The two people who were talking just now looked sideways and found that it was a ninja of the Hyuga clan, and their faces suddenly changed drastically, and they were as silent as cicadas.

Seeing this, Hyuga Patriarch couldn't help but shake his head and sped up to leave.

Konoha was so frightened that it was like this!

……

On the third day of the curfew and purge, the horror within Konoha reached its peak after the police department officially announced the death of an Uchiha conservative ninja who "tried to subvert the ninja village".

Even their own people have been killed, let alone outsiders!
