Chapter 169: A Different Morning

early morning.

It’s not dawn yet.

There are not even pedestrians on Konoha Street.

However, Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had just returned home and slept for a short time, was called up from sleep by Anbu with an emergency notice.

“Something happened, Master Hokage.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, looking tiredly at his son and daughter-in-law dressed in Anbu.

Although these two people are good at doing things very neatly, they can be called their own right-hand men, but they can only be “right-hand men”.

The two of them are too rigid.

As the “tool” in hand, there is no problem, but without the drive and arrangement of his “brain”, for many things, the two people would not even judge how to continue to execute things other than the order.

Even when there are no outsiders, he calls himself “Hokage Lord” instead of “father”.

If not, there is no need for him to continue to be so tired at this age.

There is no need to put the hope in your heart on Asuma.

Thinking of the pissball who has become increasingly rebellious recently.

Sarutobi Hiruzen’s headache is getting worse.

Why is there no one like an old man…

“Go ahead, what’s the matter?”

“Just a few hours ago, I suddenly appeared on the periphery of one of our strongholds, leaving us with a message, intending to surrender to us.”

The Anbu couple, who almost completely gave up their names, raised their heads and said, ”

According to the news, he was really pushed too tightly by Gen’s hunting forces, but he does not want to betray the village immediately and become a traitor. If Hokage and Anbu can come forward to ensure his safety, he will surrender to you before dawn. .

Otherwise, he will accept Cloud Shinobi’s invitation and hand all the big secrets that Danzo has hidden over the years to Cloud Shinobi.

Because something is urgent, if you don’t act quickly, you may lose this opportunity.

Therefore, the subordinates secretly sent a three-person team to follow up, and decided to pick them up first, and then hand them over to you.

However, it seems to have been prepared for this, and arranged a large number of clones to confuse us in advance, directly disrupting our tracking plan.

Later, only one of us tracked him…”

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, and inexplicably had a bad feeling when he heard this: “What then?”

“Failed, my lord,”

The “daughter-in-law” on the side said: “Because only two of the three have returned, we are sure that the one who did not return must have found something.

So, the two of us led the team and chased them all the way according to the mark left by the tracking ninja, but when we arrived, the tracking ninja was already dead. He cut himself and died on his own. Nothing in the hands.

According to our judgment, it is very likely that the other party has performed shadow imitation.

However, I don’t know the reason. At that time, the tracking ninja didn’t seem to die immediately, but left us with a hidden message before he died. ”

“Has it been cracked?” Sarutobi Hiruzen said.



“Not yet. He used the secret text of the highest level that only you know.”

The man took the words: “After judging this, he immediately came to you. Please give instructions on how to proceed next.”

“Hey, I get it.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up and tidied his Hokage robe: “Let’s go, let’s go and take a look at the scene.”

“Yes!”

Twenty minutes later.

In front of a flowing river.

Several people appeared at the death scene of the Anbu tracking ninja.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not immediately check the corpse. Instead, he swept around and observed the details of the surrounding area before he came to the place where the ninja died and fell to the ground.

He knelt down and looked at the cut on the opponent’s neck.

From the angle and direction of the cutting edge, it is indeed a means of suicide.

“Shadow imitation?”

He raised his head, looked at the bright moonlight in the sky, and then shook his head again. Following the instructions, he looked at the bloody secret script hidden under the man’s arm.

Because it was left with blood, the secret text was a bit vague at this time, but if you carefully identify it, you can still confirm it.



Indeed, this is the top secret that only Hokage can judge.

The content is:

“Trap, Danzo.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen’s expression darkened.

What does it mean?

Why does Danzo’s name appear?

How can it be?

With the highest level of secrets, before dying, is the secret left pointing to Danzo?

Could it be a trap deliberately set by the enemy?

wrong!

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned fiercely.

This kind of secret text method is designed by him to control Anbu himself. Each Anbu has a different way of leaving codes, and only his Master has a special decoding method.

Therefore, this must be left by him personally, not a disguise left by others deliberately.

Could it be that Danzo is really plotting something?

Is all this just a trap set by him?

What plan do you want to make that I don’t know?


‘Si. ’

‘Root’s Si. ’

‘Always laugh at me for being weak, claiming to have absolute control over my subordinates, as long as he is in one day, there will never be Danzo who rebels from subordinates. ’

Various clues lingered in Sarutobi Hiruzen’s mind.

Finally, they gathered into a question.

‘Will you really betray Root? ’

Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes, recalling the judgment and intelligence of his old friend in his memory.

Wisdom, cruel, insidious and cunning.

There seems to be nothing that Shimura Danzō would be so miscalculated.

So, what was it that made him commit such a big mistake this time?

Even on the surface, this mistake almost pushed his most precious “root” of effort into a state of trauma.

Just a little bit, it will be overwhelming.

and many more.

Just…a little bit?

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his eyebrows, as if he realized something.

He clenched his fists sharply.

“Let me keep an eye on Gen and Danzo, and report any changes to me immediately.”

“Yes!”

With an order, all Anbu who ordered them all around responded in unison.

Disappeared in the same place without a trace.

……

And on the other side.

Shunichi and Shisui crawled out of the river in embarrassment.

Then, lying tiredly on the shore.

“Shinichi, can you really fool Master Hokage?”

Shisui’s chest was undulating, and he gasped for breath: “Also, can you not let me go into the water next time? My water level is really not very good.”

“Hehe, only by entering the water can you quickly cover up the traces, don’t you still want to be tracked?”

Shun snorted disdainfully, and then said, “It’s hard to say whether we can fool Third Generation.

Although the scene we pretended to be realistic enough at that time, your illusionary hints were not problematic, and even the final scene of ‘Danzo and Mi’s Conspiracy’ did deceive the Anbu Ninja.

But whether Third Generation will believe it in the end, it still depends on Danzo’s reaction, so Shisui…

Huh, why are you going! Hey, Shisui! I didn’t say it would end now! Fool! Come back to me! ”
