Escape From Konoha Chapter 614

  Chapter 614 Investigation

   Thoroughly investigating the ghosts in Konoha Hospital, and even the entire medical department, is not an easy task.

  Even though the medical department has been nominally under the command of Hokage, compared with the Konoha that Tsunade knew more than ten years ago, the Konoha at this time is undoubtedly somewhat unfamiliar.

  My self more than ten years ago was one-sided in the Konoha Medical Department, but not necessarily now.

  At least some of the functions of the medical department have not yet been collected.

   Fortunately, the targeting of the insider this time is just a thorough investigation into the quality problems of supplying front-line medicines, and the ninja side also supports this kind of matter.

  The fact that the hospital and even the entire medical department made such a major mistake is obviously not a personal matter of Hokage, but a matter that must be dealt with seriously by all members of Konoha's management.

   Naturally, we can't condone the evil spirits who entrap the injured ninjas on the front line like this.

  Sitting on an office chair, Tsunade's desk has the information sent by Anbu Ninja, besides this, there are four photos.

   Tsunade stared fiercely at the four photos spread out along with the intelligence documents... Judging from the results of Anbu's investigation, these four people betrayed Konoha, and they are the most suspected of being spies from the kingdom of ghosts.

   While she was staring at these four photos, the window behind her suddenly opened and made a sound.

   Jumped in from the window without taking an unusual path.

   "Tsunade, are you still busy here? It's already so late."

   It was pitch black outside, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

   Anbe, who is on duty here, has just changed shifts. In the entire Hokage building, only the Hokage office is still brightly lit, and the rest of the place is shrouded in darkness.

   "What nonsense are you talking about? If I don't find out the ghost in the medical department, I can hardly sleep or eat right now."

   Tsunade glanced at Jiraiya who came to the desk.

  Although the other party was smiling, there was a trace of fatigue in the depths of his eyes. Obviously, it was not a good time.

   "What happened to Fukasaku Sage and Shima Sage?"

   Tsunade asked with a sigh.

  Actually, when she learned that Mt. Miaomu was under attack, she planned to use the water far away to bring Konoha's elite to assist in resisting the invasion of the kingdom of ghosts.

  However, considering the hidden dangers inside Konoha and the cruel reality of Jiraiya being imprisoned in the Bear Country, she had to make a part of the breakup.

   That is to give up supporting Mt. Miaogi, concentrate on rescuing Jiraiya, and stabilize the rear of the village so that the inner ghost cannot take advantage of it again.

   Otherwise, she didn't know what troubles would arise in Konoha's rear after she left.

   This is the most reliable way to decide through a high-level meeting.

   "No matter how you hide it, it's hard to say that the two of them are in a happy mood now..."

  Jirai also replied.

   "According to the troops on the border of the Land of Fire, a team belonging to Mt. Miaomu was introduced to the border during the day and was resting there. The leaders were Gama Bunta and Gama Ken, but they were seriously injured at this time, and they are still recuperating at the Konoha camp on the border."

   Tsunade said this piece of information.

   Zilai was also silent for a while, and asked, "Where is Hama Guang?"

  As the famous three brothers of Mount Miaomu, they are also his best partners. If they are fleeing, there can never be only two of them. But now only Gama Bunta and Gama Ken have fled to the Land of Fire, but Gama Hiroshi has not appeared...

   "On a plain in the country of the river, Anbu discovered the skeleton of a giant beast that had not been completely burned...No accident, it should be the toad corpse you mentioned called Hamahiro. According to the survey, there were traces of fierce fighting at the scene."

"Yeah?"

   Jilai also took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and severely suppressed the anger in his heart, and did not attack it.

   Tsunade also felt very sorry about Mt. Miaogi.

  But on the other hand, it also proves that the kingdom of ghosts has the power to destroy the armed forces of a big country.

   Tsunade couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought of completely tearing his skin apart with such a terrible country.

  It's a pity that she has little experience as Hokage, she speaks lightly, not to mention her name, she can't even control the village of Konoha completely.

  Although she had a premonition that the process of attacking the ghost country would be extremely tortuous, she did not expect it to be so tortuous.

   And Konoha is such a mess now...

  Sensei Sarutobi, you really gave me a problem. Tsunade shook his head helplessly.

   For a moment, I also thought about quitting my job and traveling around the world again, regardless of the disputes in the ninja world... But, can I really let go of everything here?

  The last blood of her grandfather's first generation of Hokage flows, and there are some things that she can't give up just by giving up.

  Some things, as long as there is a 'blood' connection, it seems that a certain sacred purpose must be fulfilled.

  This is the territory that our ancestors have fought with blood through all the hardships. Even if we fight to the last drop of blood, we must fight to the end.

   "I see, so be it."

   Jiraiya finally regained some calmness on his face, but in the eyes of others, it was just a forced composure.

   Tsunade didn't point it out, but refocused on the information and photos on the table.

  The follow-up matters of Mount Miaomu really need to be dealt with, but the most important thing right now is to find out the ghost in the medical department.

   She will feel uneasy if this ghost is not found out.

   “These four photos are…”

   Jiraiya also paid attention to it, and found that Tsunade was staring at the four photos on the table, and asked.

   "After an investigation by the Ministry of Public Security, the four people in the photo are most suspected of dropping Konoha's medical supplies and sending substandard medicines to the front line...but it will take time to pinpoint specific people."

   Tsunade sighed while tapping his head with his fingers.

   Jiraiya also looked intently at the four people in the photo, and his face was slightly shaken.

   Not why, but because the four people in the photo are all high-level personnel of Konoha Hospital and even the medical department.

  In the entire medical department, these four people have a pivotal position.

   Just moving one of them could cause an earthquake in the medical sector, and now there are four...

   Zilai also frowned, obviously aware of the difficulty of this matter.

  If it is an ordinary person, it is enough to directly send Anbu to bring them back for review, but these four people can't do it...the identities have reached their level, and the Anbu basically has no power to 'hold' them. Evidence must be used to designate them, and vague words such as doubt and possibility cannot be used to judge them as guilty of treason.

"sure?"

   Jiraiya asked with a serious expression.

   This is not Tsunade's problem alone. If necessary, his Sannin will also be dispatched to subdue these four people.

   Tsunade nodded.

  Four photos, each corresponding to a person, two men and two women.

  One of the two women, one is Tsunade's right-hand man - Shizune.

  As the director of the pharmacy department who has been in office for almost a year, in Konoha Hospital, the power of this department is beyond imagination.

  She has the power to purchase, distribute and supply all Konoha's medicines.

   That is to say, the medicines sent to the front line must first be reviewed by her hands, and only after confirming that there is no problem can they be sent to the front line.

   It is reasonable to say that if there is a quality problem with the medicine, the suspicion of silence is also the biggest.

  Because only she is the easiest to get close to the medicine, and she has enough time to switch bags... But what is the motivation?

  If Jing Yin is really a spy from the Kingdom of Ghosts, and he hasn't had any problems following him all these years, it would be too much nonsense.

   And under her nose, the Kingdom of Ghosts has no chance to touch Shiute.

  So, from Tsunade's point of view, Mute, who is most suspected, is the least likely one.

  However, a dereliction of duty is indispensable.

  When such a big thing happens, someone always needs to bear it.

  At present, Jing Yin is being invited by her to Anbu to reflect on herself. To some extent, this is also protecting Jing Yin.

  As for the second person, it is Asami Masumi.

  The vice president of Konoha Hospital, the former director of the hospital's pharmacy department, in this department, the other party has been operating for more than ten years, and the power is deeply rooted in this department.

  Although the person has been transferred from the pharmacy department, there must still be the opponent's eyeliner in this department.

   It's just that before the quality of the medicines went wrong, she just turned a blind eye to it and didn't interfere too much.

   After all, the other party was one of the first few people who surrendered after she returned to Konoha, and is now in charge of several major research projects at Konoha Hospital, with a high position and authority. Even Hokage cannot say that she will investigate immediately.

   Arresting the other party without evidence will cause a huge backlash in the medical department, and even hurt her, Hokage.

   A person who defeated all his opponents of the same age and even older, has stood firm in Konoha Hospital for more than ten years, and firmly sat on the position of director of the pharmacy department. How can the strength in the medical department be simple.

  In addition to these two men, the remaining two men are also high-level managers in the medical department. Their seniority and status are extremely high, and they cannot be lightly moved without sufficient evidence.

   Jiraiya held the four photos and touched his chin with the other hand, as if he was also thinking about who would be the biggest ghost among the four people.

   But no matter which one it is, once it is confirmed, it will be inevitable for the medical department to clean up again.

   "Although there are four people, I don't think Jing Yin will be the ghost we are looking for...Then, the focus of the investigation should be on the other three."

   Zilai also said.

   "Even so, it is not easy to find out the inner ghost from the three of them."

   "Where is the person in charge of delivering medical supplies that day?"

  "When delivering supplies, the other party suddenly caught a bad cold, so he had to be sent to the hospital for recuperation, so he was replaced by someone else."

   "How is the person doing now?"

   "Missing. On the second day after being admitted to the hospital, he suddenly disappeared from the ward, and he has not been found until now."

   Tsuna shook his head.

  Since the other party dared to drop the package of medical supplies, how could it be possible to leave such an obvious handle.

   "What are you going to do?"

   "Shizune and Asami Masumi are here, I will be in charge of the investigation, and the other two please keep an eye on them."

   Tsunade arranged it like this.

   "Really, I'm not good at investigating men."

  Holding two pictures of men, Ji Lai also shook his head bored.

   "If only grandma was alive..."

   Tsunade didn't care about Jiraiya's words, but felt that Konoha's talents are withering now.

  If her grandmother Uzumaki Mito was still alive, it would not be so troublesome to investigate the inner ghost.

  Unfortunately, Naruto is the only ninja with Uzumaki clan blood in Konoha. And Naruto has not yet mastered the Uzumaki clan's unique sensory ninjutsu, so he cannot provide assistance in this matter.

  As for the rest of the Uzumaki clan, they have already surrendered to the kingdom of ghosts. In this war, they dealt a painful blow to Konoha.

   "If you are alive, Mito-sama is just an old woman who can't walk. Then, I won't disturb your work."

   Jilai also shrugged, put the two photos in his arms, and disappeared from the office.

  The turmoil in the hospital has basically never stopped after the quality of the medicines sent to the front line had problems.

  A few days ago, Hokage's powerful confidant Shizune, the director of the pharmacy department who had been in office for just one year, was taken away by Anbu and has not returned, as if he had been convicted of a 'traitor'.

  But Asami Masumi understood that this was Tsunade's method to protect Mute.

   And the public opinion in the hospital was deliberately indulged by Tsunade.

  The purpose is to let the inner ghost existing in the hospital relax their vigilance. Wait until the right time, and then launch a thunderous blow.

  The reason for removing Mute from here so quickly is precisely for Mute not to be implicated by things here.

  The final punishment is nothing more than dereliction of duty.

   Not only the Hokage, Tsunade, but also the investigation team established by the ninja, is also investigating.

  There is a problem with the quality of medicines, which offends not only Hokage, but also these ninjas. In this war, although Konoha's civilian ninjas suffered the most damage, the ninja members were also hit. Many family members also sacrificed heroically in the battle and became a glorious martyr in Konoha. Their names were engraved on the memorial tablet to commemorate their heroic past.

  However, for the ninja, just engraving the names of the victims on the memorial tablet is not enough to make up for their losses in this war.

   Therefore, the two forces, Naruto and Ninja, go hand in hand with the investigation, which is the most troublesome.

   Maybe even the roots are involved.

   But so far, Asami Masumi has not found the whereabouts of the roots.

  She only found the Anbu and Ninja spies, intentionally or unintentionally appearing near her.

  Going to work during the day and returning home at night, although the things in the room are still intact and there is no sign of someone searching, she is sure that her bedroom, living room, bathroom, balcony, study and other places have been searched without missing a single point.

   Masumi Asami also has to say, it's really hard for Anbu.

   And she also understands that if she doesn't make a move, she will be locked in sooner or later.

   After all, this time things were too complicated, and she couldn't clean up all the tails.

  When she dropped the package of medical supplies, she already understood that it would only be a matter of time before Anbu found her out.

   "Excuse me, Vice President, the meeting is about to start, are you ready?"

  A nurse opened the door of the office and shouted into it.

   "I see, I'll be right here."

  Cutting off her thinking, Asami Masumi's face remained unchanged, she picked up her glasses and put them on, walked out of the office with a calm expression, and walked towards the conference room.

   In front of Tsunade was an old man nearly eighty years old.

  Haggard figure, gray hair, and even lost several teeth, it seems that he has not lived for a few years.

  However, a pair of cloudy eyes are full of sharp colors, and they are not old and frail, and have lost the fighting spirit of the past.

  If you didn't notice this, everyone would think that this is an ordinary old man.

  Having never read the old man's profile, Tsunade would think so.

  Unfortunately, this old man is not an ordinary person.

  The other party used to be the elite of Konoha Anbe. He was the first Konoha Jominin who followed her grandfather in the first generation of Hokage, and then joined her second grandfather Senju Tomona. Since then, he has served as the captain of Konoha Anbe for decades.

  It was not until more than ten years ago that I had to retire because of my age, and spent my old age in the village.

   Until the year of retirement, the other party was still an excellent unit leader in Anbu, and was highly valued by her teacher Hiruzaru Sarutobi.

  By virtue of having followed the three Hokages, it is enough to prove his loyalty and love for Konoha.

   An old man who dedicated his whole life to Konoha.

  Facing such an old man, even Tsunade had to show respect.

   "Sorry, Fujii-senpai, I came here to bother you when you were retiring. I'm here this time because I have some questions to ask."

   Tsunade came to sit down in front of this retired old man whose surname was 'Fujii'.

  This is not the Hokage office, but a very ordinary private house.

  After retiring, the old man Fujii has been living here.

  His child is not a ninja, but the owner of a dessert shop, living a very ordinary and peaceful life, but now it is almost time to retire. Probably this dessert shop will be inherited by Fujii's grandson and granddaughter, and it will continue to operate in Konoha Village.

   "Hokage-sama, you are welcome. If you have any questions, please ask. Although the old man is old and his hands and feet are not very flexible, his memory has not been damaged."

  Fujii said that he knew everything and said everything, after all, let Hokage visit in person, as an ordinary villager, he felt a little bit sorry.

  Besides, serving Hokage has long been the motto of his life.

  The most important thing is that the Hokage in front of him is the granddaughter of the first Hokage he respects the most, and his eyes are full of kindness.

   "If that's the case, I'm really grateful for Fujii-senpai's generosity."

   Tsunade smiled and nodded, here she didn't put on any airs of Hokage, just communicating casually like a long-lost friend.

   "My question is very simple. I want to know something about a Konoha ninja who has long since died in the line of duty. Since the matter is of great importance, I would like to ask Senior Fujii to enlighten me."

   "Is it a Konoha ninja who died in the line of duty... I don't know which one Naruto-sama is talking about?"

  Fujii recalled a little.

   "Takeshi Fujisaki."

   Tsunade said the name.

  Mute has already been investigated by a team from Anbu, and in Tsunade's opinion, it is most appropriate for Asami Masumi, who is the most suspected, to be investigated by himself, Hokage.

   And if you want to investigate Asami Masumi, you can't get around the other party's long-dead fiancé—Takeshi Fujisaki.

  A mysterious ninja whose existence was wiped out by her teacher Sarutobi Hiru.

  Hearing this name, old man Fujii's face moved slightly.

   "I remember last year, the patriarch of the Nara family came here to ask once. Does Hokage-sama think there is anything missing?"

   "A lot of things have happened in the village recently. I think it's better for me to ask about some things in person, and to confirm some things by the way."

   After all, there are some things that can only be said to Hokage himself, and cannot be known to outsiders.

  Although Takeshi Fujisaki was wiped out of existence by her teacher, Tsunade did not believe that in such a large village, no one would know the secret past.

  Old man Fujii nodded, and replied in a slow but clear voice: "I only noticed this person when I was dealing with some discarded files for the third generation. As for this person, I only know that he is a very good young Jonin. Although he can't compare with the fourth generation, but with a little training, he can also become the future minister of the village. I heard that he also has a fiancee who is now working in the medical department."

   "Apart from that? What was the secret mission he was performing at that time? And what did he die for?"

   Tsunade had already grasped these things when Lu Jiulai asked them in the past. What she wanted to know was some unknown things.

  Old man Fujii recalled for a while, and narrated in a calm tone: "I don't know much about this matter. But there is one thing that is very profound. I remember that in the days when Takeshi Fujisaki died in the line of duty, the three generations of adults were not in a good mood. They did not deal with government affairs in the office for a long time. They just smoked there to vent their irritability."

   "That is to say, Takeshi Fujisaki has a very close relationship with the teacher?"

   Tsunade asked.

   "I don't know. Judging from the traces of my observations, the third generation of adults is the same as the rest of the ninja, and they don't think too much about it."

   old man Fujii replied.

   "However, he performed a confidential mission that was not recorded in the file. Even his fiancée's file had his information removed."

   This is a task that only trusted Jonin can handle.

   Tsunade stared straight at the old man Fujii.

  Old man Fujii was speechless, and it was true.

   It is impossible for a Jonin who is not valued by Hokage to be exposed to such a confidential task.

   It is more likely that the third Hokage and Fujisaki Takeshi were in private contact.

  On the surface, Takeshi Fujisaki is just an ordinary Jonin, but secretly he is a close friend of the third generation of Hokage, who handles some shady things for him, and is highly regarded.

   "During that time, did anything else happen in the village?"

   Tsunade continued to ask.

  Old man Fujii hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's related to Elder Danzo."

   "Danzo?"

   Tsunade's face changed slightly.

  Intuition told him that if Fujisaki Takeshi and Danzo were involved, nothing good would happen.

   "During that time, not only Takeshi Fujisaki, but also many Konoha ninjas also had their records deleted. Even in Anbu, many members disappeared. A few days before Takeshi Fujisaki disappeared, the third generation and the elder Danzo had a quarrel in the office. No one knew what the content of the quarrel was. Soon after, Takeshi Fujisaki died in the line of duty, and after that, other ninjas died in the line of duty, all of which were deleted from the file records."

   old man Fujii recalled.

   "If Fujii-senpai came to think about it, what do you think the two of them were arguing about?"

   Tsunade did not answer, but threw the question to the old man Fujii.

   And Fujii just took a deep look at Tsunade and said two words: "Spy!"

   Tsunade fell silent.

  The conflict between Anbu and Genbu has been a problem left over from the ancient history of Konoha since its establishment.

  Before she left Konoha, it was not uncommon for the two organizations to send spies to monitor each other.

   Even Orochimaru, who is a Sannin, was dispatched by Hokage to the root in the past, where he held important positions, divided Danzo's power, and prevented the root from growing bigger.

   "Excuse me, Mr. Fujii, let's stop here today. If there are still problems, I will come again."

   Tsunade took a deep breath, and suddenly understood something.

   After bowing to the old man Fujii, Tsunade hurriedly left the private house.
