People are in Konoha, panicking

Chapter 9 Ambush
In an office in the Hokage Building, an old man stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance.

The old man already had age spots on his face, and he was not tall.

There is no strong aura coming from his body, he looks like an ordinary old man.

But those eyes full of deterrence, which made people dare not look at each other, showed that the old man was not simple.

He is Sarutobi Hiruzen of the Third Hokage.

An Anbu ninja wearing a dog mask knocked on the door, and after getting permission, walked into the office.

"what's up?"

Sarutobi Hizan asked.

"Last night, Keisuke Sarutobi, Hiroshi Sarutobi, Harmony Sarutobi, and Shinichi Sarutobi challenged Yuki Hatake, Takashi Hatake, and Shinichi Hatake, and a fight broke out."

"The Ministry of Security issued a ruling that Keisuke Sarutobi, Hiroshi Sarutobi, Harmony Sarutobi, and Shinichi Sarutobi will be detained for ten days."

Inu Mask Anbu Ninja respectfully reports.

Hearing the report, a cold look flashed in the eyes of Sarutobi Hirazan, who was facing away from the dog-masked Anbe ninja.

Even though the four of Sarutobi Keisuke were at fault, they were still members of his Sarutobi Hiruzen family.

The Ministry of Security punished the four of Sarutobi Keisuke mercilessly, obviously intending to lose face to him, Hokage.

The cold look on his face flashed past, and when he turned around, the cold look on his face had disappeared, and there was only the usual "kindness" on his face.

he opened his mouth to speak.

"Since you made a mistake, you should be punished. The security department did the right thing this time. What the village needs is this kind of security department."

"Send a message to the four Sarutobi Keisuke, let them reflect on their mistakes, and don't rely on their identity as a Sarutobi clan to do anything wrong and discredit the Sarutobi clan."

"Yes."

The dog-masked Anbe ninja looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen even more in awe.

Hokage-sama is still as fair and benevolent as ever, even if it is his own clan who made the mistake, he will treat it equally, and he does not use his status to help him out.

If other senior officials in the village were as fair as Hokage-sama, there wouldn't be so many disputes in the village.

With a respectful reply, he exited the office and closed the door carefully.

Right after he left, Hiruzaru Sarutobi sat down at the desk with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"Is it true that law enforcement is fair, or is it targeting the Sarutobi family?"

……

With two clansmen, Shimura Ryoma left Konoha Ninja Village in a hurry.

His purpose of leaving the village this time is to go to the station of the largest caravan in the country of fire.

According to the information received, a few days later, the largest caravan in the Fire Country will come to Konoha Ninja Village.

Today, the village meeting has not yet been held, and the Uchiha family has not been deprived of the position of supervising the entrance and exit of the village.

If this caravan comes to Konoha, the Uchiha family is bound to get a caravan dividend, and there are quite a few of them.

This is what he does not want to see, and it is also what he is greedy for.

Therefore, after hearing the news, he immediately took people out of Konoha Ninja Village, wanting to let the caravan delay the time to come to Konoha Ninja Village.

"Master Liangma, I heard that the owner of this caravan has a lot of friendship with the Uchiha family. Will the other party insist on coming to Konoha Ninja Village regardless of dissuasion?"

Among the two tribesmen who followed, a young man asked.

The boy was seventeen or eighteen years old, with short hair, brown pupils, and a little arrogance on his face.

His name is Shimura Ichiro, and he is a well-known genius among the younger generation of the Shimura family.

It was only because Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi were too famous that the name of his genius did not spread in the village.

He is not angry about this, and has always wanted to find a chance to fight Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi, but unfortunately he has never been able to get what he wanted.

"The other party will judge the situation."

Shimura Ryoma said with a light smile.

To be able to manage the caravan into the largest caravan in Huozhi, the owner of the caravan must be a smart person.

Now, the Uchiha family is gone, and the position of supervising the entrance and exit of the village is about to be deprived.

He believed that the other party would make the right choice.

As for the friendship between the other party and the Uchiha family, in his opinion, it was just because the Uchiha family was in charge of the entrance and exit of the village, and they deliberately made friends with the Uchiha family to please the Uchiha family.

Now that the Uchiha family has lost power, the other party will definitely abandon the Uchiha family without hesitation.

"Will you really obey? What if the other party is determined not to obey?"

Shimura Ichiro frowned.

"Then you can only play the robber."

There was a cold light in Shimura Ryoma's eyes.

He believed that the owner of the caravan would obey the dissuasion and postpone the time to go to Konoha Ninja Village.

But if the other party doesn't listen to the dissuasion, then they can only play the role of robbers, plunder the caravan, and force the other party to obey.

"Playing a robber?"

Shimura Ichiro was taken aback, looked at Shimura Ryoma with some surprise, and said worriedly.

"If we are found playing robbers, we will be severely punished by the village, even Danzo-sama will not be able to protect us."

"Just don't get caught."

Another member of the Shimura tribe who followed was a man in his 30s named Sou Shimura.

Compared to Shimura Ichiro's surprise when he heard that he was playing a robber, his expression was calm, obviously he was no stranger to such things.

"That's right, as long as you don't get caught."

Shimura Ryoma had a deep look in his eyes.

As long as it is kept secret enough, even if the Uchiha family who have a good relationship with this caravan has doubts, there is nothing they can do about it against the Shimura family.

Moreover, there are many wandering ninjas in the Land of Fire, and it is quite normal for a caravan to be ransacked by robbers.

A few hours later, the three of them appeared in a place far away from Konoha Ninja Village, moving quickly from tree to tree.

Sudden.

Huh, huh, huh!
A large number of kunai and shurikens flew towards them, attacking them, as dense as falling raindrops.

"not good!"

Seeing the hidden weapons attacking densely, the expressions of all three of them changed.

However, the strength of the three is not weak, and they made the correct response at the first time.

While dodging quickly, he pulled out Kunai and knocked away the hidden weapons that he couldn't dodge.

Swah——

Just as the hidden weapon attack stopped, a masked man in black quietly appeared behind Shimura Ichiro.

With a kunai in his hand, he quickly stabbed Shimura Ichiro in the back of the heart.

For a moment, Shimura Ichiro's hair stood on end, and he almost instinctively avoided to the side.

It was dangerous and dangerous, he escaped the kunai that pierced the back of his heart.

But just as he avoided the attack, a masked man in black jumped down from the tree where he appeared, and slashed at him with a kunai in his hand.

puff-

Before he had time to dodge, he was hit by Ku Wu Sha, and a deep wound appeared on his body.

While Shimura Ichiro was besieged, Shimura Ryoma and Shimura Sou were also besieged, and were attacked by two masked men in black.

Like Ichiro Shimura, Sou Shimura was wounded during the siege.

Only Ryoma Shimura, who possessed the strength of an elite johnin, was able to block the attack and was not injured even though he was besieged.

"Who are you?"

Glaring at the two besieging him, Shimura Ryoma asked.
