Konoha's Frozen Vortex

Chapter 122 Xue Hui's Guess

Seeing that Kagami, who has always been known for his gentleness, lost his temper, the hawkish Uchihas finally calmed down.

The dove Uchihas watched with cold eyes. On the one hand, they were happy to see Setsuna, the biggest enemy, disappear, and on the other hand, they were angry at Uchiha's murder.

On the contrary, the neutral Uchihas have been standing on the same front with Kagami, and the clansman among them asked Kagami:
"Master Jing, do you have any idea about this?"

"No." Jing shook her head apologetically and said, "The incident happened suddenly, and I was still busy, um, mediating conflicts, and my mind is still in a mess."

Uchiha mirror subconsciously glanced at Xuehui, and made his words a little more cryptic.

It's a pity that with Xuehui's shrewdness, through this observation and previous information, he already had a general understanding of Uchiha's situation.

"Mirror is really a fan of the authorities!"

Xue Hui shook his head secretly, but did not open his mouth to suggest.

Uchiha's split, in Xuehui's view, is an opportunity. At the same time, he also has the meaning of training the mirror, so he focuses his observation on the most calm and easy-to-intervene group, Uchiha's neutral tribe.

The reason is that whether it is the Uchiha of the hawks or the doves, their ideas are based on Konoha, nothing more than one wants to actively change Konoha and exert Uchiha's influence, while the other is Passively blend into the leaves.

On the contrary, these neutral clansmen also have a sense of belonging to Konoha, but they are not as strong. What they hope more is to keep the Uchiha strong.

"Xue Hui kept the whole process secret and transported the corpse back to the clan, so we still have time, and hope to find out the murderer behind the scenes before the matter escalates."

Uchiha Mirror said.

"Why don't you tell the third generation and them? Let Konoha's senior management know that it should be better resolved!"

The dove Uchiha suggested.

"You are really stupid! Don't you know how much this incident has hit our family's reputation?"

The hawk Uchiha saw that his opponent had made a sound, and immediately said not to be outdone.

"What did you say?!"

"I just said so what if you are stupid! Can you guarantee that Sarutobi and his gang will not be suspected?"

Xue Hui, who didn't care about the mutual dismantling of the two factions, suddenly moved his ears when he heard this sentence.

"Mirror, it's not easy for you to look like this!"

"Let you see a joke, Xuehui."

Uchiha mirror smiled wryly.

"Looking at the situation, there won't be any progress. I'll go and investigate in my own way first!"

Xue Hui looked at the hall that turned into a vegetable market again, and was about to leave.

"Sorry, Xuehui." Uchiha Kagami apologized on behalf of the tribe.

Xuehui waved his hand to show that he didn't care, and left the Uchiha clan in a blink of an eye.

Few of the quarreling Uchihas noticed Xuehui's departure, and Kagami sighed in distress, somewhat understanding why Uchiha Fire Core gave up the responsibility of managing the tribe.

On the other side, Xuehui came directly to Hokage's office.

"Sun Cut."

Xuehui nodded to Konoha Ninja who left, and then greeted Hiruzaru Sarutobi.

"It's Xuehui, what's the matter, it's the first time I left the village, they didn't cause you any trouble, especially that kid Ziraiya."

Ri Zhan said with a smile, Xue Hui came to Ri Zhan every now and then to exchange experience in leading apprentices, and he was not surprised by Xue Hui's intrusion.

"It's not a task above B level, and I haven't even seen a bandit, so what's the problem?"

Xue Hui greeted with a smile, then became serious again.

"Ri Zhan, besides reporting the mission, I have one more thing to ask you."

"What's the matter? You can ask directly."

"Let me ask you, where is Danzo now?"

Xue Hui asked directly.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi was a little surprised by this question, and he paused before answering:

"Why are you suddenly looking for Danzo?"

"There are some things I want to ask him."

Xue Hui did not answer directly.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi put away his smile, looked at Xuehui for a few seconds, and then said:

"I don't know where Danzo is now."

"Really? Then I'll change the question. Do you have any information on what Danzo is doing recently?"

Xue Hui just stood there looking at Ri Zhan.

"What exactly happened?"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi was silent for a while, and asked back.

"It seems that even you don't know, so I'd better not say it, and you will understand when the time comes, Hirizhan, I hope you can understand the teacher's intention of choosing you as Hokage."

Seeing that he didn't get any information from Sarutobi Hiruza, Xuehui reminded him and left.

Hirizhan was left alone in the room, his complexion changed repeatedly, and then he sent out a lot of Anbu.

That's right, Xuehui suspected that Uchiha Setsuna's death had something to do with his senior brother.

Recently, Danzo, who used to be often seen in Hokage's office, has not been seen for a long time now. At first, Xuehui didn't care, but now, Xuehui realized that Danzo was doing something. What happened seemed to be beyond Xue Hui's expectation.

"Let me look for it, anyway, you can't not be in Konoha. As long as you are in Konoha, there is no corner that my aunt and I can't detect!"

Xue Hui returned home and pressed his palms on the ground.

"Kagura Mind Eye! Open!"

In an instant, the information of the entire Konoha came into Xuehui's mind, and Xuehui placed the core of the investigation below the horizontal line.

"Sure enough! Roots were established at this time!"

Xuehui saw some ninjas wearing Anbu masks gathered in a space deep underground in Konoha, and above them, the figure of Danzo loomed there.

Xuehui immediately withdrew his perception ninjutsu.

"Danzo, it's not enough, you need to add another fire."

Xue Hui thought to himself.

In the next few days, Xue Hui acted as if nothing had happened, and followed his usual life trajectory, except for secretly going to see Uchiha mirror a few times at night, but there was nothing to gain.

And Tsunade and the three of them also listened to Yukiki's order and didn't tell anyone about it. Coupled with Danzo's deliberate concealment, this made Sarutobi Hiruzen investigate for a long time without gaining anything.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen has no time to pay attention to this matter, because with Danzo’s threat to those families who hold opposing opinions, Sarutobi Hiruzen has successfully won the support of most Konoha ninjas, and the Fire Country’s The daimyo is on his way to Konoha at the moment, and he will be an official witness at the Sarutobi Hiruzen's Hokage succession ceremony, which is the daimyo's rule with Konoha.

Now, Xuehui can see many busy ninjas, making preparations for the succession ceremony of Naruto in the near future.The Naruto building is also embellished with some decorations.

Xuehui watched this scene quietly, Hiruzaru Sarutobi's smile at the moment, Danzo's cold face at the moment, Uchiha Kagami's sad expression at the moment, flashed through his mind one by one and intertwined together.
