Escape from konoha 63
🕑 Added 2023-09-06 11:20:02 +0000 UTCAt Noon on the next day.
"We have already understood what happened, Hiruzen."
In the conference room of the Hokage Building, the elder advisor, Mitokado Homura, and Utatane Koharu both let out a sigh of relief after reading the contents of the scroll, and frowned, as if they were also in a dilemma.
This scroll is the information sent back by Konoha Front Commander Orochimaru.
The task of attacking the supply point of Sand village this time did not conform to the actual situation, which led to the severe dispersion of Sakumo's team's combat power, and even almost died in the encirclement of Sand village.
Although they didn't mention many words about the root, as consultants, why don't they understand the hidden meaning.
All the spearheads point to another Konoha senior elder Shimura Danzo.
The root ninja used deceitful methods to frame Sakumo's team, and even planted nails in Anbu directly under Hokage, which became the source of this incident.
"Then what do you think about this matter?"
As Hokage, Sarutobi Hirazan looked at the two expressionlessly.
Homura and Koharu really wanted to excuse Danzo and blame Sand village, but the rest of them were not fools. Doing so would only make the already bad situation worse.
"Danzo went too far this time..."
"Just a little too much?"
Hiruzen's face suddenly became gloomy, and he could bear to put a nail in the Anbu directly under Hokage.
But he can only represent himself, not the views of the Uchiha clan.
This is the real Problem of this incident.
Putting Uchiha Ruri into Sakumo's team for training, this is a deal between himself and the Uchiha executives.
Now that this team has just been running in, this kind of accident happened. How does this make Uchiha's senior management think about him, a Hokage?
"What are you going to do about it? After all, he is a high-level person in the village, and he has made countless contributions to the village over the years, and dealt with many enemies that endangered the village..."
Hearing Homura pleading for Danzo, Hiruzen waved his hand irritably, signaling him not to speak any further.
"Where is Danzo at the moment?"
"In the country of grass."
"What is the situation there?"
"He said everything was fine, it was just..."
"Just what?"
"His four subordinates were carrying out secret missions in the country of grass. For some reason, they suddenly lost their traces, and they were probably killed."
After hearing this sentence, Hiruzen nodded and said: "I probably know the matter. I will go to negotiate with Uchiha. You go to contact Danzo and tell him to be honest and stop doing these unnecessary things. How to handle uchiha, it is my responsibility as Hokage. This matter cannot be meddled at the root."
The reason why Danzo is so unscrupulous must be because of himself, Hokage, who adopted a soft policy towards Uchiha not long ago.
This is indeed a dangerous signal for the radical roots.
Uchiha has mixed reputations in Konoha. Although it cannot be said that they are fully integrated into the village, it is too absolute to devalue their interpersonal interactions.
Just like Konoha's senior management, they are divided into conservatives and radicals.
Uchiha also has radicals and conservatives.
But whether the Uchiha is a radical or a conservative, their ultimate goal is clear to Hiruzen.
It is nothing more than wanting to gain more power among Konoha, to be able to speak in the general direction of the village, and even want to get the position of Hokage and defeat the Senju Clan.
As long as he knows what their purpose is, Hiruzen feels that the remaining things are very easy to deal with.
If Danzo didn't do this, he could definitely improve the relationship between Uchiha and the village before the next Hokage succeeds, so that it wouldn’t be as stiff as before.
"I hope that with the lesson learned this time, that fellow Danzo can settle down a bit..."
Sometimes, Hiruzen didn’t know how to deal with Danzo, his close friend, so he could only sigh with a headache, hoping that the other party’s character would be restrained from now on.
Neither Homura nor Koharu spoke. If Danzo was such an honest and responsible person, he would not be the leader of the root.
"Let's explain to Hyuga. Since you want to deal with Uchiha alone, I will leave it to you. But one thing to remember is that no matter how you try to appease Uchiha, you can't completely trust the people of this clan. In this clan, there are many ninjas who have inherited that person's dangerous thinking."
Taking a deep look at Hiruzen, Homura left the conference room with Koharu after saying this.
"Uchiha Madara... Is there a Mangekyō Sharingan..."
Hiruzen sat on his seat and murmured.
Uchiha Madara's battle with the first generation of Hokage's Valley at the End, had a great influence on Konoha.
Although the loser was Uchiha Madara, the first generation of Hokage who returned to the village died soon after, which led to an era where no one could suppress that era. A few years later, the first tragic Ninja World War broke out.
And the power that Uchiha Madara is famous for is the ultimate sharingan-Mangekyō sharingan.
That is the most mysterious and darkest mysterious power recorded in the Uchiha Records.
His Sensei Senju Tobirama said more than once that the Uchiha ninjas who awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan have already fallen into the darkness of the abyss, and they can no longer be treated as normal people.
Arrogant, extreme, mentally disturbed, will do many things that are contrary to common sense and unbearable for ordinary people.
It must be targeted in time to avoid causing catastrophe to Konoha.
But for now, Hiruzen is not worried about this.
Since Uchiha Madara passed away, the Uchiha clan has never had an example of opening the Mangekyō Sharingan.
No matter how talented Uchiha ninjas are, 3 tomoe Sharingan state is the ultimate limit they can reach.
3 tomoe's Sharingan is not enough to be intimidating to a Hokage like him.
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Shiraishi and others followed the team back to Konoha, the village where they had been away for several days.
The scene of peace and serenity is completely different from the solemn and oppressive frontline.
And this peace was bought by countless ninjas on the front line in exchange for their lives.
"Then, let's part here."
At a fork in the road, Ayane first proposed to part.
Neither Shiraishi nor Ruri objected, and now is indeed not the time to talk about some family matters.
The place of the Uchiha clan is still the same as usual, neither lively nor deserted, but there are also some children wearing clothes embroidered with the Uchiha logo, playing on the streets of the Uchiha territory.
They are all the new generation of the new faction of the Uchiha clan.
They all seemed to know Ruri, the leading genius in the clan, and they all came up to say hello, 'Sister Ruri', 'Sister Ruri' sweetly shouted.
Ruri also took out some candies from her body and distributed them to these children, telling them to be careful when playing.
"Next, I'll go to the elders to learn about the situation in the village. You should go back first."
Ruri watched the children leave, then turned her head and said something to Shiraishi.
"Understood, anyway, a guy like me just needs to be quiet and transparent."
Regarding this, Shiraishi has nothing to complain about.
Ruri nodded. In this respect, Shiraishi's mentality is indeed good.
It's been like this since I was a child, whether it's being underestimated or ignored, it's always a gesture of indifference.
"Although I think the handling of the matter will not satisfy you personally."
Before leaving, Shiraishi said this sentence again.
After hearing this, Ruri frowned involuntarily.
Just as she was about to say something, Shiraishi had already gone far away, and she could only see him waving his hands with his back towards her, expressing the gesture of "see you later".
After bidding farewell to Shiraishi, Ruri went to Naka Shrine alone.
When I got there, sure enough, an old Uchiha was already waiting for me there.
It is the Uchiha Tenjin.
Beside him, there was a young man sitting kneeling, Uchiha Fugaku.
Fugaku smiled at Ruri and nodded as a greeting.
Ruri also nodded to him in greeting.
To be honest, although she and Fugaku are candidates for the patriarch of the Uchiha clan, Ruri doesn't like contact with Fugaku.
It's not because of Fugaku's weak strength. As one of the patriarchal candidates, Fugaku must be a very strong Jonin, and Sharingan has also been reached to the state of 3 tomoe.
But Fugaku's way of handling things is too conservative and gentle, and this is precisely the way Ruri dislikes the most.
Ruri respects his mighty strength, but doubts whether his character can take on the important responsibility of patriarch.
The Uchiha clan is different from ordinary clan after all.
Moderate and conservative is definitely a slow knife to kill Uchiha. This is Ruri's own opinion on the clan.
After sitting down, Ruri lowered her head slightly to Uchiha Tenjin to show respect for her elders.
"Elder Tenjin, about this time..."
As soon as Ruri was about to speak, Elder Tenjin stretched out his hand to interrupt, and his tone was not impulsive as expected.
"I've heard about this from Hokage."
"Really?" Ruri said in a low voice, and continued to ask: "Then, how does the clan plan to arrange?"
"What's your opinion, Ruri?"
Elder Tenjin did not tell Ruri about the arrangements in the clan, but asked Ruri's opinion on this matter.
"I remember Elder Tenjin told me before that the leader of the root is Shimura Danzo, the leader of the Shimura clan, right? He is a close friend of Hokage and a disciple of the second Hokage."
"yes."
"In such a strict organization, without the order of the superior, the subordinates would never dare to act privately. I don't think the other two in the team are their targets. The root target can only be me, or Uchiha. Therefore, all of this is Shimura Danzo's instigation, and he is targeting our Uchiha clan. Moreover, this is a felony that can be regarded as murdering companions for no reason. He should be imprisoned in Konoha Prison for repentance."
As long as the person behind the scenes is imprisoned in Konoha Prison, no matter what achievements the other party has made before, it will be meaningless.
His political achievements will be eliminated and he will become a useless person who has no influence on the village.
This is the punishment Ruri hopes to punish that high-level Konoha.
Saying that, Ruri took out a scroll and put it in front of Elder Tenjin.
There is no doubt that what is recorded in this scroll is the iron-like fact, and it is also the criminal evidence of rooting against fellow ninjas.
You only need to get it to Anbu for appraisal, and you can be convicted of the root crime.
And the leaders at the root cannot be separated from the relationship and will be implicated.
Elder Tenjin sighed, he knew that Ruri would do this.
He grew up watching Ruri, and he is well aware of Ruri's temper.
"It's useless, did you kill those four Root ninjas? That means there is no proof of death. As long as Danzo refuses to admit it, his subordinates can be tortured instead of him. Moreover, there is a major event happening in the Yamanaka clan, and it will take a few days to deal with it."
Probably because he was afraid that Ruri would take out the dead body of the Root ninja and go to the Yamanaka clan for an appraisal.
As for whether this is an order from Hokage himself to the Yamanaka Clan, or an order from another high-level, it has already shown the determination of the Yamanaka Clan.
"Is this the companion of Yicun? I know."
Ruri had nothing to sigh about, it was completely within her expectations.
Therefore, the four root ninja corpses that were specially treated by Shiraishi are useless.
"After the war, Hokage will restrict the Roots, and promise that there will be no similar accidents, otherwise he will impose sanctions on Danzo. Not only that, Hokage also allows you to see the scroll of sealing again and choose one of the ninjutsu."
"It's really generous. But, what I want is not these, Elder Tenjin."
Ruri raised her head, her black and white eyes looked at Elder Tenjin fearlessly.
"Not these?"
Elder Tenjin thinks that Ruri's temper playing should end here.
After all, being able to read the scroll of Sealing again and choose a powerful ninjutsu from it is a good thing that many jonin can't dream of.
For Uchiha, it is also a matter of great benefit and no harm.
So, instead of having a meeting within the clan, he had a secret meeting with Hokage.
"No matter how strong the ninjutsu in the Scroll of sealing is, it won't make me swallow this breath. I hope to gain the power of the family. In addition, with all due respect, people like Shimura Danzo are too dangerous. There are such people in the village high-level who target Uchiha. Sooner or later, we will plant a huge disaster for us Uchiha. We must use this opportunity to trip him, even if it damages Uchiha's vitality..."
Ruri's face was icy cold, and there was already a strong killing intent in her eyes.
Fugaku hesitated to speak, as if he wanted to calm Ruri down.
Elder Tenjin didn’t get angry at Ruri’s violent words, but just smiled disdainfully and said, “Ruri, you overestimate Shimura Danzo. Just Shimura’s clan and his roots, he is not worthy of giving us Uchiha’s shoes. A dark mouse like him can only play tricks behind his back. In the face of the absolute power of our Uchiha, these small tricks are basically useless.”
The implication is that people like Shimura Danzo are not worth Uchiha's energy to deal with.
"You keep this evidence first. I can promise you that next time Danzo dares to do this, he will do it according to your method. But I think Danzo will no longer have the courage to continue to attack us Uchiha."
When he said this sentence, Elder Tenjin had absolute confidence in the power of the Uchiha clan.
Ruri stared at the proud face of Elder Tenjin, then lowered her head slightly.
"I understand, just do what the elder said."
Clenching her fists tightly, the powerful Chakra breath on her body fluctuated violently, proving that her heart was extremely unbalanced.
Elder Tenjin patted Ruri on the shoulder, knowing that she was unwilling, so he comforted her and said, "Ruri, you still have a lot to learn. Politics is the constant compromise between the two sides. Although your talent is superior to Fugaku, in this regard, I think this is your biggest shortcoming."
"Is it for Hokage?"
Ruri asked suddenly.
Elder Tenjin smiled with relief and said, "We Uchiha will try our best to win the position of the Fourth Hokage. Since you also understand this, then think about it carefully."
As he spoke, he stood up from his seat, and Fugaku also stood up together.
After they left, Ruri sat on the seat without moving.
Her eyes cast a dark gaze, staring at the ground.
There was a depressing and heavy atmosphere in the room.
"It's really boring..."
She murmured.
Ruri is not unaware of the painstaking efforts of Elder Tenjin.
Although I can understand the thoughts of Elder Tenjin, this is definitely not the result I want, and I will never agree with this point of view.
Uchiha's strength is very strong, but this should not be used as a reason to belittle others.
In this world, there is only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no reason for a thousand days to prevent a thief.
She slowly stood up from the seat, turned around, and looked outside the room.
It seems that you can still see the backs of Elder Tenjin and Fugaku going away.
"Elder Tenjin, I don't disagree with your decision, but I didn't expect you to misunderstand me from the beginning."
It's a bit of a headache.
It should be said that it is helpless.
It's really a waste of time to come here by yourself, it's better to go back and go to sleep and take a rest.
Whether it is the patriarch or Hokage, power is the root of everything.
It’s just like the God of Ninja, without his power as an exaggeration, no matter how good his will to talk, everyone will dismiss him.
And the Uchiha clan followed the method of the Senju clan to obtain Hokage, will it prove that they have surpassed the Senju clan?
It’s just self-deception.
At the moment when the first Hokage was defeated, Uchiha had already failed.
And Uchiha's current restlessness probably comes from the pride of building Konoha with the Senju clan.
But unlike the Senju Clan, none of Uchiha's ninjas ever became Hokage.
Unwillingness, jealousy... For the older generation of Uchiha ninjas like Elder Tenjin, it is likely that it is not unwillingness and jealousy, but obsession.
The terrible obsession to hope that Hokage will be born in Uchiha.
"Without power, no matter how good the dream is, it's just a fantasy. Hokage doesn't punish the criminals who framed his colleagues. This kind of Hokage is not trustworthy at all. It seems that I need to find some like-minded companions in the clan..."
Ruri's pupils were instantly dyed crimson, and on the iridescence of her red pupils, 3 pitch-black Tomoe emerged one after another.
