Konoha's Thief Hand

Chapter 657

Hokage building, in the meeting room.

Natsuki sat down in the last position, glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen who was sitting in the second position inadvertently, thinking about the conversation just now in his mind.

In fact, there was nothing special about the conversation just now, it was just that the other party jumped to him with Danzo’s topic, and he was still talking about last night, which made him a little bit concerned.

As for whether Sarutobi Hiruzen has some suspicion about him, he doesn’t care much. Today, he is no longer the Genin who is unable to refute orders and can only follow.

In contrast, Sarutobi Hiruzen is no longer Hokage.

He quickly left the matter behind, after all, no matter what Sarutobi Hiruzen had guesses, as long as he acted, the information would reach his ears as soon as possible.

In Konoha Village, he is invincible.

The door of the meeting room closed with a click.

“Hiruzen, you have to take the main responsibility for this matter!”

The door was closed just now, and Utatane Koharu attacked Sarutobi Hiruzen.

“Koharu, Hiruzen didn’t expect this to happen…” Mitokado Homura quickly calmed down.

“Shut up!” Before he could finish speaking, Utatane Koharu glared at him, knocking on the table sternly: “This is not the time for you to be with the mud. Cloud Shinobi’s evil deeds of misbehaving under the guise of signing a truce, the root cause Although it lies in Cloud Shinobi, it would not have happened so easily if it hadn’t been promoted by Hiruzen!”

Immediately after her words were interrupted, Tsunade patted the table suddenly, and a clear palm was printed on the solid wooden tabletop.

“Enough!” Tsunade’s eyebrows frowned tightly, staring slightly and stopped in a deep voice.

“No, Koharu is right. I am responsible for this matter.” Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up at this moment, glanced over the people at the conference table, and sighed: “I will take responsibility for this. , I will retire. This is the answer I gave Hyuga and even Uchiha.”

When it came to the last sentence, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the bottom of the conference table casually.

In response, Xia Shu returned a surprised look.

It was originally his responsibility to give Uchiha an answer, but now Sarutobi Hiruzen replaced it. This made the guess he put down just now, and suddenly his heart resurfaced.

“Hiruzen, you don’t have to do this…” Utatane Koharu was startled when he heard these words, and immediately said without reacting.

“This is the end of the matter. Someone must be responsible. Only then will Hyuga and Uchiha take the opportunity to make trouble.” Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand.

“That won’t happen, Hyuga definitely won’t, Uchiha…” When it came to the latter, Mitokado Homura hesitated slightly.

“Neither can Uchiha.” Xia Shu said in a positive tone at this time.

“Well, Xia Shu knows the situation best in this regard.” Mitokado Homura nodded.

“Well, since there won’t be any problems in the village, the next and most important topic is Cloud Shinobi.” Tsunade said solemnly, “We all understand that this matter is far from over.”

“Yes, Cloud Shinobi has always been tough, even for this kind of thing.” Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.

“In fact, Cloud Shinobi has already begun to act.” Xia Shu said as he took out a scroll, got up to the middle of the conference table, and showed it to the participants. “This is the information that Root sent back this morning. It’s a big move.”

Tsunade took the scroll and said, “Cloud Shinobi Village issued an assembly order. At present, a ninja troop of more than two thousand people has gathered, and they rushed to the territory of the country of frost at midnight. It is suspected that the sword is pointing to the country of fire!”

“What?!” Mitokado Homura exclaimed.

“Why is Cloud Shinobi determined to go to war?” Utatane Koharu wondered, “Maybe our intelligence network cannot collect all the information, but we have a basic Master for the situation of each Shinobi Village. Given the current situation of Cloud Shinobi Village, it is far Not enough to support them to go to war.”

“Of course it is impossible for Cloud Shinobi to go to war.” Natsuki took the intelligence scroll handed by Tsunade and said, “As the two said, the current situation of Cloud Shinobi Village in the barren plateau of the plateau is not enough to support them. Wars between major powers, but this does not affect their pressure on Konoha in this way.”

“If you think about it this way, it is indeed possible, but… How can Cloud Shinobi move so fast?” Utatane Koharu said this and looked at the last youth, “Natsuki, you are sure to catch all Cloud Shinobi, no Missing?”

Xia Shu was taken aback for a moment, and then frowned, “Elder Koharu, you should know no less about the roots’ methods than I do. Under the double surveillance of the Cloud Shinobi mission, there is absolutely no chance of a fish slipping through the net!”

“Natsuki, Koharu, she just proposed a possibility, everyone can see your ability.” Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a soothing tone.

Xia Shu looked over, then nodded gently, indicating that he didn’t care about it anymore.

It’s just that Sarutobi Hiruzen’s eyes that seem to see through something is still lingering in his mind, so… do you know that Cloud Shinobi’s rapid reaction is related to him?

I have to say that this is an unimportant matter, especially after Sarutobi Hiruzen proposed to retire.

But at the same time, he later realized Sarutobi Hiruzen’s temptation.

If there was no plan to pierce Cloud Shinobi just now, Sarutobi Hiruzen’s tone would definitely not be soothing. After all, what he did was indeed a bit to provoke Cloud Shinobi and Konoha to go to war.

For Sarutobi Hiruzen, who regards the status quo of peacekeeping as extremely important, he will never be as tolerant as he was to an old friend who once held the roots in the face of doing this kind of thing.

Of course, even if it is true, he is not afraid, and even if he fights, it is actually him who wins more.

After all, Tsunade, who is Hokage, will be on his side.

“These things can be discussed later. The problem that needs to be solved now is how to face Cloud Shinobi.” Tsunade knocked on the table and said, “However, although Cloud Shinobi’s intention is to put pressure, the contradiction will intensify in case the contradiction intensifies. It may not be true. I think Konoha will gather troops to go to the border of Yunokuni first.”

“No, Tsunade, you can’t do that.” Sarutobi Hiruzen hurriedly said, “If you do that, pure pressure will become a real war.”

“Sarutobi, it is impossible for Cloud Shinobi to do that.” Utatane Koharu said.

“We can’t always predict Cloud Shinobi’s behavior according to logic, Koharu, it has taught us a lesson in the past.” Mitokado Homura shook his head in denial.

“Tsunade, Konoha is a reasonable party in this matter. We can try to solve the problem through normal diplomatic means.” Sarutobi Hiruzen looked towards Tsunade and said.

“Try it?” Tsunade raised an eyebrow. “So, you don’t have confidence?”
