Rated Hokage

Chapter 21 21, who is the inner ghost

Who is the inner ghost?

Sarutobi looked at Nara Shikahisa's handwritten letter, frowning and thinking hard.

If the enemy knows Konoha Ninja's movements like the back of his hand, someone must be tipping off the news.

There was more than one person who tipped off the news, every camp, including inside the village, was behind the scenes with a high-ranking village official.

Countless lists flashed through Sarutobi's mind, and he rejected them all one by one. It was hard for him to believe that these people could betray the village.

But the facts are in front of him, Konoha's successive failures are due to this, if this person is not caught, then Konoha's situation will only be like meat on a chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.

"Master Hokage! This is from the front line."

A ninja knocked on the door and came in with another urgent letter.

It is written that Inuzuka was ambushed by Yan Shinobu on the way to deliver supplies, but fortunately Minato and Kakashi arrived in time.

But on the way Minato left the Wounded Barracks to meet Inuzuka, the Wounded Barracks was attacked.

This piece of news confirmed the authenticity of Shikaku Nara's secret letter.

When the village was in such a difficult situation, there were still people who turned against him, which made Sarutobi very angry.

Mitomon Yan pushed the door open and walked in, seeing Sarutobi with bloodshot eyes, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Hizun, it's time for you to rest."

Sarutobi said hoarsely: "How can I still sleep now."

He looked down at Nara Shikaku's letter, which he had read countless times.

"Yan, don't you find it strange?"

"Are you talking about the front line?" Mitomon Yan said, "I was just about to talk to you about it."

Sarutobi looked up at Mitomon Yan.

"Inner ghost." Mito Menyan said expressionlessly.

"It is impossible for Iwanin to know our movements well every time, there must be an inner ghost."

Sarutobi closed his eyes slowly, exhaled heavily through his nostrils.

"Who do you think it is?"

"It's possible for anyone, Hirizhan, you are Hokage, don't be soft-hearted now."

"If the inner ghost is not eliminated, Konoha will go to perish."

……

Nichiza was wounded and sent back from the front.

It is said that he was injured while protecting Hiruzu from the main force of Iwanin.

Zhen also simply bought some things and went to the hospital to visit, and found that both Ayari and Ayano were here in the ward, and there was an old man with white hair.

Rizai was lying on the hospital bed, the bandage under his clothes was wrapped around his neck, and he looked seriously injured.

He didn't wear a forehead protector, and the green curse mark between his forehead was just casually exposed.

"It's really here." Lingli saw Zhen standing at the door, and walked over to pick up the things he bought.

"I'm here to visit Hisashi-sama," Shin said, before bowing to the other two in the room.

"Master Taigui, Master Ayano."

There are already a lot of gifts piled up in the corner of the room, and it's really not the first one to visit.

The atmosphere in the room was a bit strange, and I really didn't hear anyone talking in this ward when I walked to the door.

"I have a heart." Taigui looked at Zhen and said calmly.

"I won't bother you..." After putting down his things, he wanted to say goodbye and leave.

"It doesn't matter." Taigui stopped him at this moment, "We are all from the same clan, so you don't have to be so cautious."

Ayari brought Zhen a chair and asked him to sit down.

Zhen also had no choice but to stay, and then found that he seemed to be the focus all of a sudden, after a little thought, he asked with a worried face: "How is Mr. Risai?"

Rizai responded calmly: "Don't worry, I won't die."

Taigui glanced at it: "Why come back if you want to die so much?"

Rizai sneered: "Did I disappoint you by not dying?"

Taigui slammed the floor with his cane, blowing his beard and staring: "You're dead so I don't worry."

Seeing this, Ayano quickly smiled and smoothed things over.

The relationship between the father and son seemed delicate and not harmonious at all, no wonder the atmosphere in the room was really not right.

I'm really helpless, thinking, is it appropriate for you father and son to quarrel like this in front of me, an outsider?

Lingli sat on the edge of the hospital bed and peeled the apples. She thought they were for the day's messenger, but she ate them by herself.

Seeing that Zhen was looking at her, Ayari divided the apple in half with a knife and handed it to him.

real"……"

He felt a little embarrassed, whether he accepted it or not, he winked at Lingli quietly, but saw her looking at him slyly, put the half of the apple in her mouth and bit it.

Sure enough, the one who is not embarrassed by himself is the one who is so embarrassed.

"Why doesn't Ayana cut one for the day's difference?" Ayano said at this time.

"He doesn't like apples." Lingli said.

Rizai opened his mouth, and then said helplessly, "I... really don't like apples."

They grew up together and knew each other's temperament very well.

"Do you really like reading recently?" Tae Kyu suddenly asked Zhen at this moment.

Zhen was not surprised when he heard the words, and responded respectfully: "I encountered a lot of puzzles on the way of cultivation, so I wanted to get the answers from the book."

Taigui nodded and said, "It's rare for young people to be as diligent as you."

Shin said: "Iroha, Tokuma, and Tetsu are all working hard, and Huomen is also fighting for the village on the front line. Only I have nothing to do in the village."

Taigui turned to say: "There is no need to be so humble, I still know the nature of those children."

Zhen turned to Richai and asked: "Master Richai, I don't know how Huomen is at the front line now?"

Rizu thought for a while, and said: "That kid is following Mr. Rizu, and his performance is not bad."

He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's fine."

Taigui's eyes moved slightly: "You are very worried about him."

Zhen smiled honestly: "I am friends with him, so I am a little concerned about his recent situation."

Taigui saw that the expression of the young man in front of him did not seem to be fake, and he couldn't help but feel relieved. It is a good thing to have bonds in the clan, and people with bonds are the easiest to control.

Lingli sat on the side and couldn't help but tilt her head when she heard the words, wondering if this kid has such a good relationship with Huomen now?
Speaking of which, he used to have a normal relationship with Iroha and the others, but now they are often together.

Sure enough, children's friendship always comes out of nowhere.

At this time, Taigui said again: "If you really like reading books, you can go to my place. I still have a lot of books."

Ayano seemed a little surprised when she heard this, but didn't say anything.

Rizai looked the same lightly, and looked away again.

Zhen immediately showed excitement: "Is it okay, Mr. Taigui?"

Taigui smiled lightly: "Aren't books just for people to read? If you don't come, they will just gather dust there."

"Thank you, Mr. Taigui!"

After I came out of the hospital, I really didn’t go home immediately. I wandered around the village for a while and bought some things by the way. I can already feel that the villagers’ mood is a bit depressed. Worrying about the front line.

The continuous bad news came back from the front line, which made Zhen feel that Orochimaru had gone too far.

Konoha's high-level executives may already be suspicious of the inner ghost. If this matter is not settled, even if Orochimaru becomes Konoha's savior and wins the war as he wished, then he, the final winner, will definitely be killed by the third generation. suspected.

Once such an act is exposed, the entire Konoha will no longer allow him to live in this world.
