Naruto God Tree Arrives

Because he had cooperated deeply with Orochimaru, Danzo had a lot of dark materials in his hands, and even knew about some relatively secret laboratories and shady materials.

Therefore, Danzo planned to put the most open breakthrough point on Orochimaru, and did not want to directly involve the tree, because he knew very well that the image of the tree in the entire Konoha was too good. Without direct evidence, no one could You won't doubt him, but you may alert him and be tricked by the other party.

After several previous failures, Danzo became more and more cautious in his behavior. He knew very well that he only had one chance this time, and the consequences would be disastrous if he failed. Therefore, he did not use rumors to expand his influence, and even He himself and the roots do not intend to be directly involved.

He planned to use the Uchiha clan to ignite the fuse of the entire plan, and through them, he would reveal the information about Orochimaru's secret human experiments to Sarutobi.

The reason why Danzo did not hand over the evidence to Sarutobi Hiruzen in person was because he and Orochimaru were still openly in an alliance. If he directly sold his teammates, no one would cooperate with him in the future. Secondly, if he were to do this, it would easily arouse Sarutobi's suspicion and expose his true purpose.

The Uchiha clan is in charge of the Konoha Security Department and has always maintained a relatively good relationship with Uchiha Hikari. Reporting by them is completely within their duties and will not arouse suspicion.

The reason why Danzo wants to cooperate with the Uchiha clan is precisely for this purpose.

Soon Uchiha and Danzo started their own actions in secret, but Naoki and Orochimaru still stayed in the laboratory all day long, seemingly ignorant of everything in the outside world.

That evening, there was a sudden knock on the Hokage's office: "Knock, knock, knock!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was about to go home from get off work, was a little surprised when he heard a crisp knock on the door and shouted at the door: "Please come in."

"Click" After the door opened, a young black-robed ninja walked in and saluted respectfully: "See you, Hokage-sama."

After Sarutobi Hiruzen saw the person coming, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and then he nodded and smiled kindly: "It turns out to be the leader of the Fugaku clan. What's the matter with coming to see me so late?"

Sarutobi was a little surprised by the arrival of the young Uchiha clan leader. He knew that this person's relationship with him had always been lukewarm. This was the first time he came to the office to ask to see him.

And on the surface, the Uchiha clan should be leaning towards the Naoki camp. Now that he, the Hokage, has announced his resignation, he will not be able to sit in this position for long. There is no need for the other party to risk being suspected by the Naoki at this time. Risk meeting yourself alone.He instinctively felt that today's events were unusual.

Sure enough, after hearing Sarutobi's question, Uchiha Fugaku lowered his head seriously and said: "Hokage-sama, the police department has discovered a major case that may have a negative impact on Konoha. I am here to report it. I hope Your Majesty will give you the final say.”

Seeing his behavior, Sarutobi said in a somewhat cold tone: "Tell me, what major discovery did the police department make that made you so nervous that you actually reported the situation directly to me, bypassing the ANBU and NENBU departments?"

Although the Security Department is nominally on the same level as other departments and is qualified to report the situation directly to the Hokage, their main responsibility is to maintain the security of ordinary villages in Konoha.If you encounter

Major cases involving Ninja from other countries or within Konoha should be handed over to the Anbu or Roots for handling. The Security Ministry itself does not have the power to handle the matter.

Judging from Fugaku's performance, the so-called major case must not be a simple villager's case. Reporting directly to the Hokage in this way is obviously an act beyond his authority.

"It seems that because the replacement of the Hokage position is imminent, the Uchiha clan has begun to become restless," Sarutobi sighed silently in his heart.

"It's Hokage-sama." Fugaku seemed not to notice the strangeness in Sarutobi's tone, and said with an unchanging expression: "Today, the Security Department received a report from the villagers in the East District, saying that they often hear vague screams at night. Hope we investigate"

"Wait a minute, if you hear screams at night, could it be that it's haunted?" Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Fugaku with strange eyes when he heard this and said, "Don't forget, Konoha has two major departments, ANBU and Roots, to manage the night. Even if it's true, The ghost should have been discovered long ago. Why wait until the villagers report it to the security department? Isn’t it a nightmare?"

Sarutobi now no longer thinks about overstepping his authority, but suspects that Fugaku is amusing himself.

"Yes, after receiving the report, Hokage-sama, I originally thought the same thing. But after investigation, we found that there were not just one villager who heard the scream, but nearly a hundred households." Uchiha Fugaku faced the monkey Fei questioned and explained calmly.

"Nearly a hundred people in the house heard it." Sarutobi frowned deeply, "It's strange that there was such a loud noise. There's no reason why Anbu and Genbu couldn't detect it. Could it be some kind of hidden illusion?"

What do you find next?”

"Next, the Security Department conducted an on-site investigation on the source of the sound based on the description of the village name, and finally confirmed the target range. And found some other clues in the current area." Fugaku said as he took out a stack of paper and handed it to Sarus. Fei, "Hokage-sama, please look, this is the picture we took and recorded at the scene."

Sarutobi took the photos and looked at them one by one, and found some messy footprints, blood stains, damaged clothing, etc. As an experienced bearer, he immediately made his own judgment: "From these clues, It can be inferred that someone carried out large-scale imprisonment nearby to achieve some ulterior purpose, and the screams at night should have been made by those imprisoned people."

"Hokage-sama Mingmi," Fugaku nodded respectfully and said, "Our security department has also come to the same conclusion."

Sarutobi stared at Fugaku with some doubts and asked: "Although this case seems horrifying, it is still within the normal range. Your security department should be able to handle it on your own and just conduct a search at the place where the crime occurred.

Why should I make the decision myself? And this matter doesn't seem to be as serious as you said, Fugaku, are you just joking with me, an old man?"

"No, no, Hokage-sama, I've spoken seriously. How dare I make fun of you?" Fugaku hurriedly shook his head and explained: "The reason why we ask you to make a decision is because the location of the incident is very special. This is the residential area belonging to a high-ranking Konoha executive. Searches must be ordered by you personally”

Sarutobi suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, but on the surface he asked very casually: "Oh, which high-level person must give the order to me?"

Fugaku said solemnly: "It's your disciple, the Minister of Scientific Research, Orochimaru-sama."
