People are in Konoha, panicking

Chapter 15 Unspoken Guess
"Could this be the work of a wandering ninja?"

A man with a fat body and a figure that is quite different among ninjas.

He has red hair, wears suspender armor, and has a red "food" on his chest.

He is the patriarch of the Akimichi Clan, Akimichi Dingzao. Although all members of the Akimichi family are obese, the family he belongs to is the "butterfly" in the group of pigs, deer and butterflies.

"No, although there are wandering ninjas in the Land of Fire, their strength is generally weak, and there are very few top ninjas among them."

"To be able to ambush a three-person team with one elite jōnin plus two jōnin, at least two elite jōnin must lead the team, which is impossible for wandering ninjas."

Shikahisa Nara shook his head.

"Among the rebellious ninjas, there are many rebellious ninjas who have the strength of the elite ninja. Could it be the rebellious ninja?"

Oil Girl Zhiwei asked.

"It's hard to say, rebellious ninjas generally don't take the initiative to attack ninjas from other villages, but if there is a reward on the black market, they are likely to be attacked by rebellious ninjas."

Having said that, Nara Shikahisa looked at a man with long yellow hair.

"Haiyi, is there a reward for Ryo Shimura in the black market?"

"No, as far as I know, there is no reward for Ryoshi Shimura on the black market."

The man with long yellow hair replied.

His name is Haiyi Yamanaka, and he is the head of the Yamanaka clan, and his family is the "pig" among the pigs and butterflies.

Because of family secrets, his position in the village is to be in charge of intelligence, and it is precisely because of this that Nara Shikahisa asked him.

"Then the possibility of rebellion and ninja can be ruled out, leaving only the possibility of other ninja villages."

"This kind of possibility is also the biggest. After all, the team of two elite jōnin plus many elite ninjas can only be dispatched by other ninja villages without pressure."

Nara Shikahisa said.

"Three generations, the death of one elite Jōnin and two Jōnin is a rare huge casualty after the Third Ninja World War."

"It is necessary to investigate as soon as possible what forces did what, and make a proper response, otherwise Konoha's prestige will be disgraced."

After listening to Nara Shikahisa's analysis, Shimura Danzo looked at the Third Hokage.

If the person who died was someone from another family, he naturally wouldn't care. The life and death of people from other families has nothing to do with him.

Even people from the same village, in his opinion, cannot be called companions.

But the person who died was a member of the Shimura family, but it was different, that was his own clan and subordinates.

So he actively urged the Third Hokage to ask the Third Hokage to send more people to investigate the matter.

"indeed."

The Third Hokage glanced at Shimura Danzo.

He couldn't understand what Shimura Danzo was thinking.

But there is one thing, what the other party said is right, that is, if it is not handled well this time, Konoha's prestige may be ruined.

Therefore, this matter not only needs to be investigated, but also vigorously investigated.

He started giving orders.

"Minister Yamanaka, contact the spies hidden in the other four major ninja villages, and investigate the movements of the other four elite ninja villages in recent days."

"The patriarch Inuzuka sent a team of people who are good at tracking to join the search team and participate in the enemy's search and tracking.

"Patriarch Hyuga, send a team to the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Water to investigate whether there are ninjas who have smuggled across the border in the past few days."

……

A series of orders were issued, and most of the families were dispatched, either to participate in the search, or to participate in the border investigation.

The Uchiha family did not receive orders, and they were one of the few families that did not receive orders.

It's not that the three generations of Hokage take special care of the Uchiha family, but because the three generations of Hokage do not want the Uchiha family to participate in this collective action.

Because this will break the isolation plan for the Uchiha family, which is not conducive to the isolation of the Uchiha family.

For this situation, Uchiha Fugaku is not surprised.

This situation is normal now. If the Third Hokage allows the Uchiha family to participate in the action, then he would have to wonder if there is any conspiracy in it.

If it was his predecessor, he would definitely choose to remain silent at this time.

However, he didn't intend to be silent, but wanted to try to see if he could join in this operation and break this isolated atmosphere.

"Master Hokage, Patriarch Shimura, is deeply saddened by the death of Ryoma Shimura and the Uchiha family, and is willing to contribute to this and send people to participate in this operation."

"Ok?"

The Third Hokage looked at Uchiha Fugaku with some surprise.

He didn't expect that Uchiha Fugaku, who had always chosen to be silent, would choose to break the silence when encountering such a thing.

However, it is impossible for the Uchiha family to join the action and break the isolation of the Uchiha family.

he opened his mouth to speak.

"I am very happy that the head of the Uchiha family has such a heart."

"However, the Uchiha family shoulders the heavy responsibility of maintaining the law and order of the village, and the number of patrol personnel cannot be reduced at such times."

"Three shifts can be changed to two shifts, so that the number of patrols will not decrease. Although it is a bit hard, it is understandable for them to come here for the dead ninjas of the same village."

Although rejected, Uchiha Fugaku did not intend to give up so easily and continued.

"The village is not so difficult that it needs to be tired on duty, but I can understand the urgency of Patriarch Uchiha to do his part."

"I will let Uchiha Shisui represent the Uchiha family to participate in this action, so there should be no objection?"

Three generations of Hokage resolved Uchiha Fugaku's "offensive" in a few words, and made a symbolic "compromise", and arranged Uchiha Shisui in the action.

In fact, Uchiha Shisui's participation in the action has long been an established matter, after all Uchiha Shisui has already fallen to him.

"Everything is under Hokage-sama's arrangement."

Uchiha Fugaku did not continue to fight.

Although he knows that Uchiha Shisui has already fallen to the third Hokage, strictly speaking, he is not a member of the Uchiha family.

But his struggle this time was not without benefits.

Even though Shisui Uchiha has guided the three generations of Hokage, as long as Shisui Uchiha still bears the surname Uchiha, Shisui Uchiha's actions will inevitably remind people of the Uchiha family.

Moreover, if his guess is correct, at the beginning, Sandai Hokage planned to let Uchiha Shisui hide his identity and participate in the mission under the code name of Anbu.

It is already a success to let Uchiha Shisui participate in the mission in the name of the Uchiha family.

"That's good. The Uchiha family is willing to contribute to this, and Patriarch Shimura must be very grateful."

The Third Hokage nodded, and quickly finalized the matter to avoid Uchiha Fugaku's remorse.

"Thank you, Patriarch Uchiha."

Mentioned by the Three Hokages, Daisuke Shimura had no choice but to thank Uchiha Fugaku reluctantly.

What is the relationship between the Shimura family and the Uchiha family?
It is no exaggeration to say that the momentum is like water and fire.

The relationship between the two parties is so bad, how could Uchiha Fugaku be so active for the death of Shimura Ryoma and the others?
Obviously, Uchiha Fugaku wanted to use this to break the status quo of the Uchiha family being isolated, and used Shimura Ryo's death as an excuse.

So this thank you is very reluctant.

"No, no, after all, it's from the same village, so it's only natural to help."

Uchiha Fugaku responded in a good mood.

There is nothing more satisfying than killing the other person and letting the other party thank you.

When the meeting was over, everyone dispersed and walked out of the conference room, Shikahisa Nara frowned indiscernibly.

Regarding the deaths of Shimura Ryoma and the others, there is actually another possibility.

That is the one who killed the three of Shimura Ryoma, and it was the family in the village that had conflicts with the Shimura family.

But this kind of thing can never be said without absolute evidence.

Once it is said, it will inevitably lead to mutual suspicion among the families.

Therefore, he did not mention this possibility.
