People are in Hokage, start with an old tree on the grave of Jinglingting

In a smoky office.

Since his body became 10 years younger, Hiruzaru Sarutobi also smoked harder, after all, his lung cavity has proved that he can do it.

"The headless ghost is lost?" Sarutobi Rizai frowned, "The person from [Xuquan] appeared, is that dead wood whose name we only know half?"

"Yes!" Fujitani replied with his head bowed, "Our deal with Orochimaru was cut off halfway, and two people appeared in the [virtual circle], Orochimaru was scared away by Kuchiki's knife, and the rest of us are not opponents, In the end, only Kakashi and I survived."

"Where's Kakashi?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked.

"Kakashi is still behind, I hurried back to report to Hokage-sama." Fujitani replied truthfully.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi took a few deep puffs of his cigarette, and did not doubt Fujitani's words. After all, Kakashi was lazy, and everyone in Konoha knew that he would get lost and be late at every turn.

"You and me describe the whole process in detail, and don't miss any link."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi was a little confused, before the storm of ghosts dissipated, someone suddenly appeared in [Xuquan].

[Virtual circle] showed up?

Is it really a virtual circle?

Could it be...

The judgment of [Virtual circle] is the conclusion inferred by Shikahisa Nara on the picture scroll at the meeting. Hiruzaru Sarutobi has always hidden different opinions in his heart, but he never revealed it. He really did not expect this [Virtual circle] People showed up so quickly.

Caught off guard, for the time being, let's deal with [Xuquan] first!

Sarutobi Hiruzen was physically and mentally exhausted by the overwhelmed changes. In just a few days, he felt more and more unable to recognize this ninja world.

Fujitani seriously described everything that happened that day in front of Hiruzaru Sarutobi with words without embellishment.

Sarutobi Hiruzaru was thoughtful when he described [Fukuzuru] being called a "domestic vicious dog" when facing headless ghosts, and their condescending and dismissive attitude towards ninjas.

It's not that he doesn't disdain ninjas, but that he has a condescending sense of superiority towards humans. This tone of speech is very similar to that of Ghost Mai Tsuji.

this means,

Like ghosts, they are also highly likely to be inhumans wearing [human skin]!

Then, when Fujitani described the phrase "imprisoned into the Confession Palace for 400 years", Hiruzaru Sarutobi twitched his eyebrows fiercely. heard.

At that time, Gui Wu Tsuji Wu Mi's original words to himself were - I am afraid that your soul after death will be suppressed in the Palace of Repentance, and you will not be able to be reborn forever!

Originally, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't care much about the meaning of these words, but now he can't say it, so he has to seriously consider the vicious elements in these words in the dead of night.

The focus of Fujitani's final description is still on the two knives.

A skeleton snake that can be turned into a stretching and shrinking snake, with a winding and huge body, like a living thing, exuding a terrifying sense of oppression;

A cherry blossom that can wither into the sky is beautiful, but it contains a deadly and vicious murderous intent. In the breath, it melts the snakes that Orochimaru psychicized into dregs, forcing Orochimaru to flee immediately.

"Two weird and terrifying knives!"

Hiruzaru Sarutobi's face was serious, just like some of the abilities that Kimai Tsujimu had shown, it was also an unimaginable ability that they had never heard of or imagined before.

Obviously, whether it is [ghost] or [virtual circle], the abilities they use are completely outside the scope of the system of ninja.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi pondered for a while, after all, he did not come to the scene in person, so he couldn't make the most intuitive judgment, so he could only rely on Fujitani's feeling as much as possible.

"Do you think their strange ability is their own, and the sword is just a medium to display it, or are those two swords the key to their ability?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi asked sharply.

"Maybe there are both!" Fujitani pretended, and then gave the answer he had prepared long ago.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't think that Fujitani could really give an accurate answer, he was just recalling the knife inserted in the box when the box of bliss was opened.

Maybe,

Does that knife hold some answers?

And that knife is now in Hisoka's hands!

A sharp murderous intent flashed in Sarutobi's eyes, he stared at Fujitani and asked: "What else? Has the deal between Nebu and Orochimaru completely failed?"

"It's not a complete failure!" Fujitani replied in a deep voice: "I agreed to Orochimaru on my own initiative, and I will re-select the time and place, and send an irrational ghost guarded by the sealing class to Orochimaru, and the conditions are the same as before. As agreed."

Among the ghosts captured by Konoha that night, the most valuable ones are the headless monsters, and the rest are those irrational ghosts.

of course,

At this stage, in Konoha's eyes, they are all called "ghosts" without discrimination.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not punish Fujitani for arbitrarily making decisions, as Genbu's successor, he still had to allow this little power of change.

"In addition, Orochimaru gave me a very important piece of information."

Fujitani took two steps forward, lowered his voice and said,

"Mist Hidden Village seems to be developing a taboo research called [Virtualization], and the products produced by this [Virtualization] seem to be similar to ghosts in some places."

"..." Orochimaru was completely unaware!

The news was too shocking, Hiruzaru Sarutobi suddenly stood up, paced back and forth in the room, his heart was full of turmoil.

Wuyin Village has produced products similar to ghosts?

Does this mean that

Wuyin Village has also been in contact with ghosts, and the time is earlier than Konoha, so they are conducting related research. When did it start?

Could it be that it started with the blockade in the Blood Mist, and Wuyin Village is using this to deceive people?

A series of questions emerged in Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind, and various terrifying conspiracy theories were woven in his mind. He was shocked: "The Kirigakure Village has done a good job of keeping secrets, and they have already produced research results. It's really... ..With ulterior motives, how could the Kirigakure Village hide such important information from the entire ninja world for so long?"

"If it wasn't for the concealment by Wuyin Village, how could Konoha have opened the box of bliss without any precautions, and even unsealed the ghost dance Tsuji Wumi."

"Kuyin Village is harming the whole ninja world!"

Sarutobi Hiru Zhanki's teeth are itching, if this information of Orochimaru is confirmed to be true, then Kirigakure is a sinner in the ninja world.

"Confirm the authenticity of this information as soon as possible, and find a way to infiltrate, sneak into the blood mist, find all the intelligence evidence that may be related to [ghosts], and find out the real situation of Wuyin Village." Sarutobi Ri Zhan Leng Give an order aloud.

Fujitani nodded again and again, taking over this tricky and arduous task for Genbu.

after that,

In order to cope with the increasingly complicated situation in the ninja world, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Fujitani carefully discussed the plan to expand the talents of the Roots, saying that they would sign some elite talents from various families in the village to add to the Roots. This is equivalent to expanding the rights of the Roots in disguise. , it is also Sarutobi Hiruzen's habitual move of adding sand to the roots.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi was not worried that Fujitani would escape from his control, not every root leader was called Shimura Danzo, this was just his instinctive defense as a political creature.

Fujitani was secretly happy, and agreed to accept the whole process without changing his face.

At last,

Fujitani casually mentioned something to Sarutobi Hiruza, he suspected that Orochimaru might have joined a hidden organization, the reason is that the costumes that Orochimaru and Root Joints are very custom-made.

This reason for suspicion was too nonsense. Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't take it too seriously. He was just given a sound in his ears...
