Konoha's Thief Hand

Chapter 552: Reset and Rumors

“No need to say more, just reply to Lord Third Hokage.”

In the courtyard, Xia Shu fished the fallen leaves in the pond and waved to the Anbu ninja who wanted to say something, without hiding his intentions.

“Yes, Master Natsuki, I will report your answer to Master Hokage.” Seeing this, the Anbu ninja had no choice but to leave.

The sound of Body Flicker Technique started, Xia Shu took out the dead leaves in the fishing net, then walked to the utility room with the fishing net, and threw it in.

Sitting down in front of the porch, he looked at the gray-blue sky and crescent crescent in the evening, with a smile at the corner of his mouth.

“It’s about to start.”

The sound floated in the air, and soon lost in the wind.

…

Hokage House.

Hokage office.

Anbu ninja knelt on one knee in front of the desk where there were a lot of unprocessed documents, and reported all the answers he got to Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was dangling a pipe and trying to deal with affairs.

“Oh, this way, I know.” Sarutobi Hiruzen’s tone was flat, and the air in the office was only left with the rustling of the strokes of the pen. It didn’t stop until a long time later.

When he got up and came to the window, he opened the window and let out a little smoke. Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Konoha Village in the evening outside the window, showing a look of helplessness on his wrinkled face.

“My old friend, you still don’t stop.”

But he had anticipated this, and what he cared more about at the moment was another thing, or another person.

On the night of the Nine Tails chaos, many things hidden in the darkness were revealed. Among them, the most troublesome one was naturally the Uchiha clan.

The appearance of Nine Tails not only increased Konoha Village’s fear of Uchiha, but also caused some clamors inside Uchiha. However, this matter is only showing some signs now, and then there is time to think about countermeasures.

And the one who ranks after Uchiha is what makes him entangled, and that is his most proud disciple, Orochimaru!

As a powerhouse of Kage-level strength, Orochimaru in Konoha Village is not only a power to protect the village, but also a symbol of deterring foreign enemies, but he did not show up on the night of the Nine Tails chaos. This is definitely not a normal situation, naturally. It attracted his attention, and although the result was not yet fully understood, some subtle information had already given him a glimpse of Madara.

Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed again and said to himself: “The key now is the stability of the village, so… Orochimaru, this is your last chance to look back.”

Closing the window and lighting another pot of tobacco, Sarutobi Hiruzen enters the state of dealing with affairs again.

…

Konoha Village is near the outskirts, and a lonely courtyard sits here. This is Orochimaru’s home.

Xia Shu’s hastily visit seemed to interrupt Orochimaru’s research. When he came out of the ground, his face was gloomy, and the whole person was like a snake with a cold breath. When the eyes were vertical, Xia Shu even felt a little cold. .

‘This guy has really abandoned his humanity! Xia Shu sighed secretly in her heart.

“What can I do, Natsuki-kun?” Orochimaru asked straight to the point.

Although the previous refusal made the friendship that was OK with each other cold, but it was far from the point of directly becoming enemies. Therefore, Orochimaru did not have any disgust with Natsuki’s visit, and it could even be said that there were some. curious.

“It’s rude to come rashly, but I have one thing only Orochimaru-sama can help me.” Xia Shu smiled apologetically.

“Oh? What’s the matter?” Orochimaru raised an eyebrow and asked curiously.

“I heard Orochimaru-sama, you once sneaked into Cloud Shinobi Village secretly, and it seems that you brought back some special souvenirs.” Natsuki said plainly, “I am very curious about that souvenir, so please come to satisfy my curiosity.”

Hearing this, Orochimaru suddenly squinted his eyes, exuding a predator’s breath, covering the youth in front of him.

“Who told you this?” Orochimaru asked in a low tone.

“Not many people know about this.” Xia Shu smiled and shook his head, and didn’t answer directly.

Orochimaru was silent for a moment, got up and waved to see off the guests: “You should go now.”

“Master Orochimaru, that thing…” Natsuki hurriedly got up and said to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru did not respond to him, and before he could finish speaking, he used Earth Style to sneak into the ground.

Seeing this, Xia Shu sneered, her anxious expression dissipated.

“No hurry, no hurry, sooner or later you will personally give that thing to me. Orochimaru.”

…

In the last few days, the news of the reset of Third Hokage has been confirmed, and then just go to Daimyofu to complete the ceremony, and Sarutobi Hiruzen will once again become the Hokage of Konoha Village.

This news quelled the discussion in the village about who is eligible to become the Fifth Hokage. The people in the village can accept this result. After all, Sarutobi Hiruzen is the Hokage who led Konoha Village and won two wars. His reputation has always been high. .

However, at this moment, a piece of news spread from nowhere, revealing the inside story of the Nine Tails chaos and the death of the Fourth Generation Namikaze Minato in one fell swoop.

This news shocked many people, but Namikaze Minato is dead after all, and with some secret guidance, people’s attention has shifted to the son of Fourth Generation.

Naruto, who was born as a hero to protect Konoha Village, was concealed by Sarutobi Hiruzen, and some conspiracy theories quickly formed.

As for Naruto’s other identity, the new Nine Tails Jinchūriki, even if there are relatives and friends of those killed in the Nine Tails chaos, but because he is the son of Fourth Hokage who sacrificed himself to protect Konoha Village, he can only be suppressed. Hide it.

Affected by this news, Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn’t help but feel a little sad, but after all he is a man with the title of Shinobi. After tangling for a while, he firmed his mind.

In this case, Tsunade came to Sarutobi’s house.

“The tea ceremony is something Danzo likes. When Lake Biwa was there, she did these things too…” Sarutobi Hiruzen made tea, poured a cup of Tsunade, and casually said it seemed to be lost in memory.

“Teacher, my sorrow.” Tsunade stopped the teapot that was about to overflow, and whispered to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

“Hehe, people will be distracted from time to time when they are old.” Sarutobi Hiruzen didn’t want to show his fragility in front of his disciples. After sighing, he smiled and joked casually: “Tsunade, you will not come to me to accompany me. Do you play cards? The three-player game that has recently emerged in the village seems to have spread from you.”

“I’m doing it for Hokage.” Tsunade shook his head and said with a serious expression: “There has been a lot of movement in the village recently.”
