Escape From Konoha Chapter 525

  Chapter 525 The sharp teeth that tear the darkness (3)

   "I see, do you want to use the power of Baiyan?"

  In the reception room, Hizuru heard Akimichi Dingzao's request, showing a thoughtful expression.

   "Yes, the situation is critical now. We need to borrow the eyes of the Hyuga clan to investigate some things."

  Ding Zuo and several ninjas from the Nara, Akimichi, and Yamanaka clans behind him made a request to Nizuzu.

   It also shows that the three clans attach great importance to this matter.

  Ri Zuo had no emotion on his face. Under the gaze of Ding Zuo and others, he sighed slowly and said, "If that's the case, then so be it. Xue Jian."

   As soon as Rizu finished speaking, a figure landed and appeared beside Ding Zuo and the others.

  Ding Zuo narrowed his eyes, and recognized that this was the Jonin from the subfamily of the Hyuga clan. Although he was not well-known among Konoha, he was extremely powerful, and he was one of the few Jōnin from the Hyuga clan who was close to the clan. There were rumors that he was ruthless. As long as they violated the wishes of the clan, even if they were members of the same split clan, they would not hesitate to kill them.

   is a very dangerous person.

   "Master Nizuzu, what are your orders?"

  Although Ding Zuo identified him as a dangerous person of the Hyuga clan, Yukima had a gentle smile on his face, giving people the impression of warmth and sunshine, although this kind of warmth and sunshine brought people cruelty and cold blood.

   "It's up to your eyes to assist Ding Zuo Shangnin and investigate some things."

   Rizu ordered.

   "Yes, Nizuzu-sama."

   Xuejian bowed her head, her attitude was extremely submissive.

   Immediately, he turned his head to look at Ding Zuo and said, "I'll be in trouble later, Ding Zuo Shangren."

   "No, no, it's our side that's in trouble."

  Ding Zuo thanked Hizuzu, and quickly took the three clan ninjas and Yukima behind him, left the Hyuga clan's place, and rushed back to the location of the Hokage Building.

   Time is running out, and he cannot be here to ask questions and waste time.

   Time passed, Ding Zuo and others arrived at the Hokage Building.

  Here has been surrounded by heavy soldiers, a large number of junin and zhongnin, all over the corners, not only fighters, but also conservative personnel, the three clans of pigs and butterflies, the roots... The forces are intricate, but under Hokage's order, they maintain a very delicate balance.

   "Hai Yi."

   Entering the Hokage building, not far from the Hokage office, Ding Zuo found Haiyi.

   "How is it, is there any progress?"

  Seeing that Ding Zuo returned safely, Hai Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

  Fear that Danzo will ambush halfway, causing **** conflicts.

  Fortunately, such a bad thing didn't happen, and that Shinobi An still didn't lose his mind.

   "This is Jonin Hinata Yukina, I have already explained the situation with him on the way."

  Ding Zuo introduced Haiyi.

  Hai glanced at Yukina who took a step forward, nodded slightly, and said hello.

  Obviously, he also knew Yukima, a branch of the Hyuga clan, Jonin.

  The ninja tribes move among each other. Although I dare not say that they know all of them, most of them know each other well.

   "Excuse me, let's observe Naruto-sama's Chakra next. We suspect that he is controlled by some kind of illusion."

  Hai said.

  At the same time, point to the location of Hokage's office, pointing out the location of Naruto Hiruza.

  For the Hinata clan with white eyes, there is no need to stand in the office and investigate Hinata face to face.

  Baiyan has the ability to penetrate and see far away, as long as it is within the range, the distance is not important.

   "Haiichi Jonin's sensory ninjutsu can't perceive it?"

   Xuejian asked.

  hai shook his head and said: "Maybe the level of the technique is too high. My perception ninjutsu didn't notice anything abnormal."

   "I see, I will take a closer look with my white eyes."

  People controlled by illusions will have abnormal chakra flow.

  Even if it is the most exquisite illusion, it cannot escape this theorem.

   What's more, being controlled by illusion means that the recruiter has other people's chakra remaining in his body.

  However, if it is a top-level illusion, it can indeed be so subtle that no one can detect abnormalities.

  However, this can only deceive the perception ninja, but it cannot hide the insight of Baiyan.

   It is precisely because of this that the ninjas of the Hyuga clan thought of asking the ninjas to check with their blank eyes, whether they have been hit by an illusion or not.

   "Blind eyes!"

  Without hesitation, Yukina quickly opened her white eyes, injected chakra into the pupils, penetrated the barriers of layers of walls in an instant, and locked the meridian system of Zhongnichizhan in the office.

   Yukina kept her staring posture, and after about ten seconds passed, Ding Zuo asked: "How is the situation, did Hokage-sama suffer from some kind of illusion?"

   Yukima withdrew from the white-eyed state, and said to Ding Zuo and Haiyi: "It may be that I am young and inexperienced, and I haven't noticed the abnormality in Hokage-sama."

"What's the meaning?"

  Ding Zuo didn't understand what Yukina meant.

  hai first frowned and became thoughtful.

  Yuka brewed a vocabulary and said: "How should I put it, the situation is a bit strange. Master Hokage may or may not have been hit by an illusion, but I can't tell with my ability."

  What kind of answer is this?

   Isn't it the same as saying nothing?

   Ding Zuo showed dissatisfaction in his eyes.

   "You have supercilious eyes, how could you not see it? Besides, you are a Jonin!"

  Ding Zuo tried his best to suppress his anger.

   "Maybe the power of my white eyes is not strong enough. If you let the adults of the Zong family come over, maybe you can see something?"

   Xuejian's interrogative sentence made Ding Zuo even more angry.

   Facing Ding Zuo's angry gaze, Yukina seemed to feel guilty, and looked away, with a look of "I have low abilities, I don't know anything, I can't see anything".

   "Sorry, let the Zong family do this kind of thing."

   After finishing speaking, Xuejian left quickly, as if there was something terrifying to him, and he didn't dare to stay for a moment.

  This place is indeed a dangerous place, and it is normal to explode anytime.

  Yuejian doesn't want to sit on a powder keg, waiting for him to explode and make his **** bloom.

  Anyway, just express the attitude of the Hyuga clan.

   "Damn it, do you really want to..."

  Ding Zuo was about to say something, Haiyi sighed and said: "Forget it, Ding Zuo, he must have been instructed by the clan behind his back. Even if the ninjas of the clan are recruited, they are just playing football with each other here, and the answers they get are basically the same. It seems that something is wrong with Hokage-sama."

  Hyuga Clan's attitude was within Haiyi's expectation.

  The ancient style will not change in a short while.

   Moreover, the Hyuga clan, who were far away from the political center of the village, really had no reason to intervene in such a struggle.

   No matter who wins in the end, it will not be able to shake the position of the Hyuga clan in Konoha.

   It's just that the way the Hyuga clan did this made Haiyi smile bitterly.

   It is not so easy to muddy the pool here.

  Things they can consider, that Ninja Darkness cannot fail to consider.

   I'm afraid they are looking for ninjas from the Hyuga clan to check, this kind of thing is also expected by others.

  The reason why they didn't send people to intercept it was to make them completely give up.

   "But, what kind of technique is it that can control Hokage-sama?"

   This kind of knowing that Hokage is controlled by someone, and there is a problem with the management, but they can't do anything, they can only watch the situation step by step towards the worst result, which makes Ding Zuo feel extremely humiliated.

   "Who knows. It may not be some kind of technique, but it may be that Hokage-sama has been caught. In short, it will be troublesome, and nothing can be done."

  Haiyi took a deep breath.

   Finding the ninjas of the Hyuga clan is already the limit.

  The rest of the moves are better, but that requires authorization from Hokage.

   And now Hokage is obviously standing on the root side, which means that no matter what they do, they have lost their righteousness.

  Name…is a very important thing.

  He represents the will of the village.

   Even Danzo needs to rely on this kind of thing to become Hokage.

  If you don't get these votes, even if you become Hokage, it's not justified, and Hokage won't be able to sit in the position for too long.

   "Is it that bad?"

   "If Danzang uses force to launch a coup, to directly confront the tough, there is a chance to resolve it, but now he is avoiding bigger conflicts, obviously he has thought of a perfect plan, and the village is now like this, all under his control."

  Although he was very unwilling, Hai Yi understood that this years-long political struggle was about to come to an end.

  Hokage lost.

   Danzo won.

   "Then at least find Lu Jiu first..."

   "There is no chance. Before the dust settles, Danzo will not give us a chance to contact Shikaku. Moreover, even Kakashi, the head of Anbu, is missing. If we force it, we will lose immediately."

  However, in the current situation, even if it is not forced, it is already powerless.

   Ding Zuo still feels unwilling.

   "The family..."

   "Wait for the notice from above. Although the future may be a little more difficult, Danzo will not kill us. We have already merged with everything in this village, and we cannot break free."

  hai's meaningful words made Ding Zuo fall silent.

   "The truth about the extermination of the Uchiha clan? What are you talking about? This kind of thing has already been concluded, and Itachi did it."

  In the woods, Sasuke who heard Minazuki's words revealed puzzlement in his eyes.

  The Konoha ninja who claimed to be the ninja Itachi once guided the jounin in front of him had no idea what his purpose of coming to find him was.

   "Do you really think so?"

   Minazuki Yuki was not bothered by Sasuke's veto, but continued to speak with a smile.

"What's the meaning?"

   "I believe that you have also begun to notice something is wrong. No matter how strong Itachi is, he cannot be the opponent of all the ninjas of the Uchiha clan, otherwise he would not be a wealthy family. Besides, it is also strange that Anbu came late on the second day of the genocide..."

   Minazuki Teak hadn't finished speaking, his eyes blurred.

  Sasuke had already rushed in front of him, pushed him to the ground, and grabbed his neck with his palms.

  Sasuke's eyes turned into Sharingan at some point.

   Minazuki Yuki, who was treated so roughly, still kept smiling, without any anger.

   "Are you in a hurry?"

   "What the **** do you know? Do you want to say that Hokage destroyed Uchiha? Don't be kidding, Uchiha is Konoha's glory card. If you want to sow discord here, I will kill you!"

  Sasuke's Sharingan was full of cold killing intent, like a blade, piercing Minazuki's body.

   "No, Konoha's Uchiha has already turned into a handful of loess, and the real Uchiha has already become the pillar of other countries. In Konoha's village, you are the only one left."

   "That has nothing to do with outsiders like you!"

   "Hmph, they are really as stubborn as Itachi. One or two have talents that make people envious."

   "Don't change the subject, what do you know? Tell me quickly!"

  Sasuke pinched Minazuki's neck with increasing strength, his expression was cold and ferocious.

   "I just want to ask, do you really want to know the real truth? Maybe that would be very cruel to you."

  Chick!

  The electric current flashed in the assistant's palm, attacking Minazuki Yuki's body with lightning, making him twitch on the ground, his face contorted in pain.

   "I've said it before, don't change the subject! If you don't want to suffer, just talk about it!"

boom!

  Just as Sasuke finished speaking, the middle-aged man under him suddenly disappeared into a cloud of white smoke.

   Oops, it's a shadow clone! Sasuke turned around quickly.

   Quickly press the back of his head with one palm, and lean his whole body towards the ground, firmly clinging to the ground.

  Minauzuki Yuki pressed his knee against Sasuke's back, making him lie on the ground, unable to move.

   "Does it make you proud to find my shadow clone?"

"You bastard!"

   "No matter how you say it, I'm also a Junin. Don't take me out and compare me with those opponents you met during the Chunin exam. A brat like you can be dealt with in a few strokes."

  The corner of Minazuki Teak's mouth curled up slightly, mocking Sasuke.

  Sasuke was about to struggle, when he suddenly felt his back loosen, Minazuki Yuki stood up and let him go, allowing his body to be free again.

"Why?"

  Sasuke stood up, frowning at him.

   "I have no hatred or grudge with you. I will teach you a lesson, just because your tone is not very good and you lack respect for your elders. Now your tone is much better."

   After Minazuki Yuki finished speaking, he took out a scroll from his arms and threw it at Sasuke.

   Sasuke caught it, and the confusion in his eyes seemed to deepen.

   "Someone asked me to give you this thing."

   "Please?"

   "I won't say who it is. The time is recorded in the scroll, and there is also a detailed map that will tell you when to act and how to go. You can just play by ear. That's all I can say."

  Hands made seals, Minazuki teak turned into a cloud of light smoke and disappeared.

   "The truth...what the **** is..."

   Sasuke looked at the scroll in his hand, his eyes flickering.

   Behind the Uchiha extermination, is there anything else hidden?

   "Public meeting?"

  After that, a few days later, when the rumors in the village continued to peak, the junin who gathered in a huge stepped meeting room heard the announcement and looked at each other.

   "What's going on, why is there a public meeting suddenly?"

  Although it was in the large conference room dedicated to the Jonin Conference, the high-level Hokage and others did not come.

  A Jōnin came out and questioned Anbu who issued the notice.

   "This is the official notice from Hokage-sama. The public meeting will be held at two o'clock in the afternoon. At that time, all high-level officials, as well as the ninjas who need to be stationed at the border, must participate, and it will also be made public to the people in the village."

  Anbu ninja took out a notice and answered the ninja.

   "It's really unreasonable! This kind of thing is too sudden, and there is no preparation in advance. Also, Hokage-sama has not been on the road for many days. I suspect that you Anbu conspired to hold Hokage-sama hostage!"

   "That's right! For this kind of thing, it's better to let Hokage-sama come forward!"

   "The village is in a mess now, if we don't control it, there will be a lot of trouble!"

  Many Jninjas were excited, and they all wanted this Anbu ninja to give a reasonable explanation, so that Hokage himself could come over and explain the confusion in person.

   "Don't worry, our Anbu is Hokage-sama's most loyal unit, and we won't do the following messy actions. Moreover, at two o'clock in the afternoon, all Jonin will know the truth of the matter... Shouldn't you be in a hurry now?"

   Anbe Ninja said.

  Facing so many jounin, even as Anbu, it is inevitable to feel in a hurry.

  Although there are not all junin here, there are still many junin who are still stationed at the border and patrolling the border, but even so, there are at least hundreds of ninja here.

   It can be said that Konoha's most elite forces are all gathered here.

   "Just follow what Anbu said. Anyway, by two o'clock in the afternoon, you will know what's going on."

  Haiyi and Ding Zuo came out, calming everyone's emotions.

  As Jonin who have been famous for a long time, although the influence of the two is not as good as Shikaku, they did play a comforting role.

   "Trouble."

   Anbe Ninja bowed to Haiyi and Ding Zuo.

   "You're welcome. Under the circumstance that Hokage-sama is not easy to show up, the Junin must calm down and not mess around and cause chaos."

  Hai waved his hand.

  Although he vaguely guessed what the public meeting in the afternoon would be, but the matter is a foregone conclusion now, and it can only go on like this.

   Can't make things worse.

   "Then, I will leave first, and the ninjas outside and the public also need to be notified."

  Ninja Anbe nodded and disappeared from the conference room.

   "Mr. Haiyi, is this really good?"

  A Jōnin asked.

   "There's nothing you can do about it. You should know something about the current situation in the village. Since the higher-ups are going to give an explanation, you can only listen first."

  hai shook his head, it was too late to say anything now.

   At that time, Hokage should be prevented from going to the root headquarters to negotiate.

  At that time, they were too anxious and miscalculated Danzo's plan, so that they are now passive everywhere.

  Open meeting.

  As soon as the news spread, there was an uproar in Muye Village.

  However, many ninjas and villagers think about it carefully, this is also a reasonable thing.

  After all, those rumors spread so widely that Hokage had to come forward to settle them.

  In any case, whether the rumors inside are true or not requires Hokage to give a reasonable explanation.

  Therefore, when this notice was issued, the top ninjas, middle ninjas, and low ninjas who stayed in the village, nearly tens of thousands of ninjas, were almost all mobilized to prepare for the next public meeting.

   Not only that, the villagers with a larger base were also mobilized.

  Although they are not ninjas, their husbands or wives, parents and children may all be ninjas. They are also an important part of the village, so it is impossible to be absent.

  So, before the public meeting started, the location of the Hokage Building was already crowded with people. Ninjas and villagers were mixed together, and the atmosphere was extremely intense.

   "A public meeting? I didn't expect it to go to this point... I always feel that there are some important problems in it that haven't been revealed."

  It is located on the roof of a high-rise apartment building near the Hokage Building. Sasuke is sitting on the water tank on the roof, looking at the roof of the opposite Hokage Building.

   There, a dozen or so figures could be vaguely seen standing there.

  Led by four old people.

  Three generations of Naruto Sarutobi Hiruzen is one of them.

  Beside him, there are two old men and a woman. Sasuke knew two of them, they were Konoha's high-level advisers, and they had visited him during the period after Itachi's genocide.

  As for the fourth person, a gloomy man with a bandage around his right eye and a cane in his hand, he has no impression in his mind, and this is the first time he has seen it.

  However, to be able to stand side by side with the advisor and Hokage, he must also be a high-level elder and an important decision-maker for Konoha.

   Around the four of them, there are ninjas wearing Anbu costumes. Each of them exudes a fierce and amazing aura, acting as the guards of the high-level people.

  Even in Anbu, where elites emerge in large numbers, those dispatched at this moment must be the elites of the elites.

   "The fourth old man is called Shimura Danzo."

  The voice came from behind.

  Sasuke turned his head and saw a figure standing behind him at some point.

   It's Shikamaru who I haven't seen for a long time.

   "Shimura Danzo?"

   Sasuke frowned.

   "It is said that he is a member of the main combat faction among the high-level people. He has a part of Anbu's power and has secretly done a lot of dirty things for the village. I also learned about it through the relationship in the family during this period. He and Master Hokage are from the same school, and they are both personal disciples of Master Nidaime."

   Shikamaru explained.

   "Really? This is the first time I've heard of such a thing."

   Sasuke nodded, indicating that he understood.

   Then he saw that there was no one around Shikamaru but himself, so Sasuke asked, "Aren't Choji and Ino with you?"

   "They are below, I don't want to be crowded with people below, it's too troublesome. And..."

   "Are you worried about Naruto's condition?"

   Sasuke interrupted and asked.

   "Recently, I have been ordered to stay at home, so I can't leave the house. But looking at you, the matter with Naruto is basically settled."

  Shikamaru made this judgment without seeing the worry on Sasuke's face.

   "Your judgment is still as strong as ever, don't worry, I have already asked Mr. Nongmei to protect Naruto secretly. After all, he is Kakashi's friend, so he will still help with this."

  Assistant Zuo weighed the stones he picked up from the side, smiling confidently.

   "Ms. Kai? That's really reassuring. I heard from my dad that Mr. Kai may be the strongest jonin in Konoha, even stronger than Mr. Kakashi."

  Shikamaru sat beside Sasuke and laughed.

Snapped.

  Sasuke clenched the stone tightly, tilted his head and looked at Shikamaru in surprise, as if he was considering the authenticity of his words.

   "Don't look at me like that, I also heard it from my dad. However, I think it should have something to do with the Hachimon Dunjia technique. Konoha's previous Hachimon Dunjia cultivator was Teacher Kai's father. Unfortunately, he died in the War of the Land of Wind four years ago. And the person who defeated him was your fellow-Uchiha Ruri."

   "...War in the Kingdom of Wind? It seems that you have investigated a lot recently."

   Sasuke was surprised.

   "If you look carefully at the information, you will find a lot of interesting things. Although it is not very good for Konoha. However, the most important thing is the matter in front of you."

  Shikamaru stared at the roof of the Hokage Building.

   There, he didn't notice his father Lu Jiu.

   It stands to reason that, as the Jonin squad leader's father, it is impossible to be absent under such circumstances, and he will accompany Hokage to appear together.

   "Not only your father, but even Kakashi was not seen."

  Sasuke's eyes became serious. He had reason to believe that something happened to Kakashi.

   Reminiscent of the scroll that Hizuki Minazuki gave him that day, Sasuke had a headache for a while.

  There are too many strange things that happened to Konoha recently.

  I knew that at that time, I should have taken the initiative to learn something from Kakashi, instead of knowing nothing like now.

   Just as he was communicating with Shikamaru, there was some movement on the roof of the Hokage Building.

   "Are you really going to do this, Sun Zhan? Anyway, it's too messy for you to do this."

  Transferring to bed Xiaochun asked.

   "The incident has accumulated to this point, and there is no other way. I can only clarify it myself."

  Hi Zhan sighed and stepped forward.

"But-"

   "Shut up! This is Ri Zhan's decision, shouldn't you respect it?"

   It seemed that Xiaochun's behavior was beyond the rules, so Danzo began to reprimand him sternly.

   “I just feel like…”

   "Danzo, Xiaoharu is also worried about Hirizhan's situation. Moreover, I'm afraid you have a share of the credit for Hirzen's doing so."

  After Mitomonyan stopped Zhuanshu Koharu, he turned his head and said to Danzo.

   "I don't know what you guys are talking about."

   "You know what it is, I just hope you can treat this village well. Uchiha Shisui's power, it's best not to rely too much, otherwise, even you will be given by that darkness..."

   "Have you become so old and dizzy that you can't choose what to say?"

   Danzo sneered.

   Mito Menyan saw Danzo resolutely denying it again, so he pursed his lips.

   Over there, Ri Zhan has already walked to the front of the stage.

  As Ri Zhan came to the front of the stage, looking down at the large area of ​​dark heads below, the originally lively atmosphere of discussion suddenly changed to a tense and quiet atmosphere.

   After all, Ri Zhan has been operating in the village for a long time and has a very high prestige. Just standing there, it seems to be ordering people not to speak casually at such a time. The silence is amazing.

  Ri Zhan looked around at the crowd below, and familiar faces came into his pupils. Immediately, he took a deep breath and began the next speech:

   "Gentlemen, before the public meeting, I must first admit the many faults of my administration—"
