Promote the theory of threat to Konoha, why Kirigakure brings Hide!

Chapter 192 Resistance from within Konoha (-in-)

"How did things go?"

In the root base, in the dark basement, a deep voice sounded.

"The follow-up has been sorted out. The dead Hyuga branch ninja belongs to the group with extremely low status even in the Hyuga branch family."

"According to Hyuga Matsutomi's character, he will not be angry at the death of such a lowly clan member, so it is very likely that the security force will be responsible for the subsequent search for the murderer."

Although the base buried deep in the ground is equipped with many hidden vents, the air circulation is definitely not comparable to that on the surface.

Therefore, standing in Danzo Shimura's position, he could clearly smell the faint smell of blood on the men across from him.

So it is self-evident what method this root ninja uses to deal with the tail of his hand.

"It's a pity that caged bird, otherwise I would have gotten another pair of supercilious looks tonight."

Under the dim light, standing in the position of a root ninja, Shimura Danzo's face was mostly hidden in the shadows, and only a calm voice could be heard.

After Sarutobi Hiruzen said a simple hello, he went straight to the point and stated the purpose of letting him come.

In Danzo Shimura's calm words, he didn't take these dead seriously at all.

Unless someone in Konoha can physically travel through the Pure Land, the murderer will definitely not be found.

Of course, in order to avoid others catching the murderer in advance during this process, every time the murderer commits a crime, a root ninja will provide him with one-on-one and one-on-one finishing services.

After all, as a veteran of conspiracies for many years, how could he trust others unconditionally?

So among the root ninjas, the Byakugan is really the only one missing.

Coupled with Ghost Lantern Crescent's original plan, he purchased a large amount of commodities and supplies from Kirigakure Village at half the cost price.

Shimura Danzo had already anticipated Sarutobi Hiruzen's summons, picked up the crutch beside him, and slowly walked towards the Hokage's office.
-
When Shimura Danzo arrived at the Hokage's office, he found that the place was already crowded with people.

Due to the influence of the caged bird, although there are ninjas from all major ninja clans at the root, there are no ninjas from the Hyuga clan.

If the murderer fails to be caught, public opinion in the village will inevitably pounce on the Uchiha clan.

But for the sake of the Hyuga clan, Sarutobi Hiruzen also showed full respect, calling in all the root and ANBU, trying to solve the case in the shortest possible time and give Hyuga Matsutomi an explanation.

Shimura Danzo looked at Uchiha Homura and asked curiously: "Why, is it possible that this murderer is so cunning that even the Sharingan can't catch him?"

As expected, Genbu was asked to assist in catching the murderers of the recent murders.

From these two completely different names, we can see Danzo Shimura's daily education on the roots.

However, the first important thing to join the Roots is to be loyal to Shimura Danzo. Under the influence of the caged bird, it is impossible for the Hyuga branch to maintain absolute loyalty to him.

"Danzo, you're here."

But this time it was different. The person who died was a ninja from the Hyuga clan. Even though he was a member of the Hyuga clan and he was rich, he didn't say anything.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for Shimura Danzo to give up such a highly functional tool like the Byakugan.

What he cares about has always been the feasibility of the plan. To him, everyone is just a tool to complete the plan.

What's more, he is a bad guy like Gui Deng Xinyue with sores on his head and pus on the soles of his feet. How could he follow Gui Deng Xinyue's plan step by step?
In Shimura Danzo's plan, the current plan is to borrow the teachings of the Maitreya Cult and take advantage of the loose atmosphere after the war to create murder cases on a large scale. From civilians to ninjas, the indiscriminate killing makes everyone in Konoha feel in danger.

"There's nothing wrong with cooperating with the investigation... The key point is, aren't the security forces always responsible for such cases?"

In order to carve his own image on the Hokage Rock, he was able to sacrifice even the Shimura clan, let alone the Maitreya Cult?
This is what is truly called "raising the bandits with self-respect".

However, since the Hyuga clan does not go out easily, if Genbu wants to have a Byakugan, he can only choose from the ninjas of the Hyuga clan.

Even the Sharingan, after all the battles, Shimura Danzo also secretly obtained some.

From the beginning to the end, everything he did was for one goal - to be able to wear the Hokage God's robe openly and honestly!
Maitreya?
It's just a consumable for him to step into the position of Hokage!

Only this White Eye, due to the existence of the seal of the caged bird, has never had a chance to get involved.

And for Shimura Danzo, is there anything more wonderful than stepping on the head of the Uchiha clan to establish majesty?
As for the Maitreya cultists who died in the process... Danzo Shimura controlled the Maitreya cult, but he did not truly believe in the evil god created by Ghost Light Crescent Moon.

In this way, until the final public opinion crisis was about to break out, Danzo Shimura stood up again, personally destroyed several Maitreya Sect strongholds, and arrested a group of Maitreya Sect believers.

"You are calling me now because you want Genbu to take action and investigate the identity of the murderer..."

"Well... the deceased was upgraded from a civilian to a ninja. This step by step slowly creates a crisis atmosphere. When the time is right, it will be time for me to stand up and save Konoha."

At this moment, a root ninja appeared and knelt on one knee in front of him to report.

Coupled with Danzo Shimura, the entire Hokage's office was packed with people.

Danzo Shimura did not strictly follow the plan to raise the hope that Ghost Light Crescent had made.

"Danzo-sama, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked you to go to the Hokage's office."

The best thing is that this kind of incident involving a murder in the village happens to be within the jurisdiction of the security force.

After all, even if he is a ninja from the Hinata family, that's just like that to him. What's more, the ninjas of the Hyuga branch are called ninjas, and they are actually ninja slaves. They don't even care about their master's family, so why would he care?

The previous deceased were all civilians, most notably a wealthy businessman. The deaths of these people were of no importance to the village, so no one had ever cared about this matter before.

But if your security forces can't catch such rampant murderers now, then don't blame us for spraying you.

After all, you, the Uchiha clan, don't care about looking at people with your nose. At least at that time, the village did not have any problems with public security.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Koharu Koharu, Mito Kaden, Homura Uchiha, Matsutomi Hinata, and the son of Hiruzen Sarutobi, Hideki Sarutobi, the current ANBU minister, all appeared here.

Didn't Shimura Danzo's reputation and majesty become established all at once?

"Then I'll let the root ninjas go all out to track him down. After all, I'm also very curious about what kind of murderer can escape the Sharingan's search in Konoha."

Faced with Danzo Shimura's eccentric aura, Homura Uchiha did not tolerate him at all, and said tit for tat:
"From an objective perspective, under normal circumstances, the murderer would have been caught by us in less than three hours. But the strange thing is that we have been pursuing it for three days without any results."

"However, this is just a result. Being able to hide perfectly for three days under the Sharingan's pursuit is enough to prove one thing - there must be someone covering up behind this murderer."

As he spoke, Uchiha Homura looked directly at Shimura Danzo.

Obviously, it is self-evident who the "person covering up the murderer" he refers to is.

Uchiha Homura is naturally aware of Shimura Danzo's hostility towards his own clan.

In fact, he did suspect that this was Shimura Danzo's doing, but he couldn't figure out Shimura Danzo's intention of doing this.

To say that it is simply to defeat the Uchiha clan, the battle is too big, right? Moreover, if you use this method to deal with the Uchiha clan, you will be punished for their incompetence.

For the Uchiha clan, this kind of crime is not painful at all, and it is completely meaningless.

Therefore, Uchiha Homura was confused as to who the murderer was behind this, but it did not delay him in the slightest from confronting Shimura Danzo.

"But even so, it is easy for us, the Uchiha clan, to catch him. As long as the Hokage allows us to search anywhere in the village, we guarantee to capture the murderer within one day."

Although Uchiha Homura's words were directed at Sarutobi Hiruzen, his eyes were fixed on Shimura Danzo.

As long as Sarutobi Hiruzen dares to give this order, regardless of whether there are some or not, the Uchiha clan will dare to gather all members to search the root base.

When the time comes, even if he is guilty of missing the deadline, Danzo Shimura will be brought down severely! He didn't believe that with Shimura Danzo's urine, the things in this base could see the light!

Facing Uchiha Homura's aggressiveness, Shimura Danzo lowered his eyes, as if he didn't care about him.

Just kidding, not to mention anything else, the Wood Escape Experiment Plan is at the root base, how can it be seen by others!
Seeing the atmosphere reaching a deadlock, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately stood up to smooth things over:

"Danzo, the world is full of wonders. The murderer may have mastered a strange ninjutsu that can eliminate traces. It's normal that the Sharingan won't be able to detect it for a while."

After talking about Shimura Danzo here, he immediately said to Uchiha Homura: "Just to catch a criminal, I made the village a state of chaos. If outsiders found out about this, they might think that no one in Konoha can bully me. ! Don’t mention the search of the entire village again!”

After fooling everyone, he said directly in front of everyone: "That's it, with the security force as the leader, and the ANBU and the root department cooperating, we must take down this thief and restore peace to the village!"

After Sarutobi Hiruzen set the tone, the rest of the people had no objections.

After all, the impact of this incident is not so bad at present. If it were not to give Hinata Mitsuru face, then there would be no problem if the murderer could not be caught.

But it was because of the death of a Hyuga branch ninja that there was such a battle.

"Danzo, please stay for a while."

Just when everyone thought the matter was over and Shimura Danzo wanted to go back to his roots to see the progress of the wood escape experimental plan hosted by Orochimaru, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke up and asked him to stay.

Danzo Shimura's heart tightened, thinking that his old teammate had discovered a flaw somewhere.

But when he heard that Sarutobi Hiruzen asked Koharu and Mito Monohan to stay as well, he felt relieved.

This time at least it has nothing to do with the Maitreya religion.

"This is what Tsunade just sent, the implementation details of Kirigakure Village's reform. You all should take a look."

Sarutobi Hiruzen knocked some documents on the table with the bottom of his pipe, and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.

After hearing the information about Kirigakure Village sent back by Tsunade, which also involved important matters such as reform, the three of them immediately became interested and stepped forward to take the documents and check them out.

"Contribution point system... Everything related to ninja needs to be exchanged for contribution points... Can it be exchanged for ninjutsu? Isn't this nonsense!"

When Mito Kadoyan saw half of it, he couldn't help but threw the documents in his hands on the table and yelled angrily.

"This Kiden Xinyue is digging up the roots of Kirigakure by doing this! Isn't he afraid that those ninjutsu will spread? Are the ninjas in Kirigakure Village just letting him do whatever he wants?"

For the conservative Mito Gate, civilian ninjas are tools and consumables.

This kind of tool is like the weeds in autumn. Even if they are burned with fire, they will not be burned away. When they are turned around, a new crop will grow next year.

Therefore, for this kind of consumable product, only three years of ninja school education is needed to teach them how to throw ninja tools and the basic three-body technique.

Only those ninjas who have received elite education since childhood are qualified to learn those advanced ninjutsu.

Also give them the permission to purchase advanced ninjutsu. Even if this advanced ninjutsu is given to them, can they understand it with their meager knowledge?

The reason why he is angry is that he is angry here. He is angry that the glory that belongs to the ninja clan has been tarnished by a group of cannon fodder.

Even though he was in a different ninja village, he was still angry that his qualifications to belong to the Kirigakure ninja clan had been tarnished by Mudleg.

"But having said that, once this document is issued, it can be expected that the civilian ninjas in Kirigakure Village will definitely work like crazy for the village in order to be able to purchase those advanced ninjutsu."

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not agree with Mito Kadoyan's words, and then added, "And it is not that there are geniuses among civilians. Although the probability is very small, it is still possible to be found out from the sand by Ghost Light Crescent Moon. Gold.”

"Oh, so what if he is a genius among civilians? So what if he has learned a powerful ninjutsu without being educated by the ninja clan? Today he will fight for the village because of advanced ninjutsu, but who knows if he will one day fight for other reasons? And turn to others and betray the village?"

After going to bed, Koharu put down the documents in his hands, looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said, "Just like your civilian disciple, Jiraiya."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was immediately speechless and could only silently smoke the pipe in his hand.

Ever since he discovered the traces of the Wood Release and the Mangekyo Sharingan on the battlefield of the Land of Rain, Jiraiya has never returned to Konoha's combat sequence.

According to his message, he found the "son of prophecy" predicted by the great toad sage who could change the ninja world.

In order to concentrate on cultivating the "son of prophecy", he even took the initiative to cut off contact with the village.

In the next three years, no matter how great the crisis the village encountered, Jiraiya never appeared on the battlefield of the Land of Rain.

As for Tsunade and Orochimaru, they didn't know whether they were confused by Jiraiya's nonsense or out of loyalty between their companions, and they refused to reveal Jiraiya's whereabouts.

For this reason, Konoha's high-level officials were also very angry at Jiraiya's behavior, and even asked Sarutobi Hiruzen several times to deal with Jiraiya in the same way as a traitor, but he was beaten back by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Now Koharu turned to bed and used Jiraiya as an example to attack Sarutobi Hiruzen, and severely rejected his idea of ​​​​trying out some of the Kirigakure Village ninja system reforms in Konoha.

After all, Jiraiya was indeed born as a commoner, and was greatly trained by Hiruzen Sarutobi to learn advanced ninjutsu. But now that he has behaved like a traitor, Hiruzen Sarutobi has no refutation. confidence.

"And this kind of economic specialization... His Kirigakure Village is located overseas, and the weak economy has forced him to come up with these crooked ideas to make money. We in Konoha are in the ninja world, with a rich population, a vast land and abundant resources. All we need is a safe and stable development. Why use these small ways to compete with the people when you can overcome everything?”

Mito Kabuto pushed up his glasses and added.

Just kidding, as Konoha consultants, how could they not get involved in such hugely profitable fields as ninja tools, salt, steel, alcohol, tobacco, and construction?
It can even be said that whether one can get involved in these fields can even be used as a criterion to judge whether the ninja clan is the top ninja clan in Konoha.

In this case, how could they cut their own flesh with the knife turned inwards?
After all, they are not like Gui Deng Xinyue, who wants to change the village into a "family world" in the future.

For them, those from the village can belong to the Ninja clan, but those from the Ninja clan cannot belong to the village.

Therefore, the reforms carried out by Gui Deng Xinyue in Wuyin Village were simply treasonous in their eyes. Even if these papers were used to wipe their butts, they would be dirty.

Facing the joint rebuttal from the two consultants, even Sarutobi Hiruzen had to suspend some of his thoughts.

"What a group of short-sighted guys... When I become Hokage, the first thing I will do is to kick these two zombie-like guys out of the advisory position!"

Danzo Shimura looked at the document in his hand and sneered at the words of Mito Kaden and Koharu.

Now among the four people in the Hokage's office, Shimura Danzo is the one who has the least sense of honor of the ninja clan and the least sense of ninja clan and civilian class.

Apart from him, even Sarutobi Hiruzen was secretly opening the door to his own relatives. At the moment when Senju passed away, if they were to compete for the number one ninja clan in Konoha, the Sarutobi clan might be even more competitive than Hinata and Uchiha!
After all, in Shimura Danzo's view, all ninjas and civilian ninjas are nothing more than tools.

It's just that one tool is easier to use with fewer tools, and the other tool is more durable with more tools, but they are all tools after all. Is there any difference?

From the current situation of the Shimura clan after he became Hokage's assistant, it can be seen that he does think so.

If you have a normal temperament, even if you don't care about blood relatives, even if it is from the perspective of cultivating confidants, you will have to vigorously support your relatives.

But it would be better to come to Shimura Danzo, not to mention support. In order to achieve his own goals, Shimura Danzo simply does not treat the ninjas of the Shimura clan as human beings.

Since he took over as Hokage's assistant, not to mention the great development of the Shimura clan, there has even been a significant decline in strength compared to before.

Nowadays, the Shimura clan, excluding Shimura Danzo, is about to fall into the ranks of the second-rate ninja clan in terms of strength!
So in this case, Shimura Danzo instead greatly praised the reform measures of Kiden Xinyue in Kirigakure Village.

In his opinion, this is the way to quickly enhance the strength of the village.

It's just that he won't say it at this time. After all, the credit for the village's increased strength now belongs to Sarutobi Hiruzen. Does it have anything to do with him as the root leader?

When he, Danzo Shimura, became Hokage, and then put forward these measures in a different way, wouldn't it be his merits?

For example, changing the "contribution points" to "credit points" and changing the nine-level ninja system to ten levels. In this case, who would dare to say that this is a reform measure for Kirigakure Village?

This is clearly a strategy for strengthening Konoha's village that he, Shimura Danzo-sama, has been thinking about for a long time!
