Konoha's Clow Magician

"No, this matter cannot be left to you. You have to stay in the village."

The third generation sighed, and before Senju Hideki could continue to speak, he explained: "Danzo left the village yesterday, and his target was probably the wood escape ninja. In any case, we still need to wait for Danzo to return. Make a decision.”

Senju Hideki bowed and said yes, but secretly said in his heart: "It seems that the Third Generation is going to attack Danzo, and he has also obtained the support of the other two Hokage advisors. No wonder there is such a big battle today, but I was specially summoned again. Why?"

According to common sense, if a Wooden ninja suddenly appears in the ninja world, it is indeed necessary to eliminate the suspicion of Senju Hideki in the village first.

But for this kind of thing, you only need to randomly send out an ANBU ninja for a little test to confirm whether the person staying in Konoha is a clone. There is no need to summon him specially.

Seeing Senju Hideki's silence, Sandai picked up his pipe and took a deep breath. He was in a trance for a moment, as if he was recalling an extremely long time ago. After a long time, he suddenly came back to his senses and asked again: "Shu, you Do you think the Wooden ninjas appearing in the black market are related to Orochimaru?"

Hearing this question, the eyes of Koharu and Mito Kabuto suddenly became more serious when they went to bed. Jiraiya on the side also put away the casual smile on his face and focused on Senju Hideki.

Senju Hideki suddenly realized it, and the doubts in his heart suddenly became clear.

Indeed, from the perspective of the third generation, if the Wooden Ninja that appeared out of thin air is related to that force, Orochimaru, who participated in the first-generation cell experiments and liked human experiments, would definitely be ranked first.

That's a good question.

"My subordinates cannot confirm whether the Wooden Ninja is related to Orochimaru, but before the other party defected, his cell samples were indeed collected."

Senju Hideki thought about it and decided to report it truthfully. However, he was not worried that it would divert the attention of Konoha's top management to Orochimaru and affect Orochimaru's experiments.

After Danzo returns in embarrassment, these people in the Hokage Room will have an idea of ​​the strength of the bounty hunter Senju Hashirama, whether it is the 'A' that Danzo knows, or the transplanted Senju Hideki Wooden ninjas whose cell and blood stain abilities have further declined will not be able to compete with him.

However, at this time, in the minds of the Third Generation and the two Hokage advisors, Orochimaru's suspicion became much stronger.

When he went to bed, Koharu frowned and said directly: "Hiruzen, we can no longer tolerate Orochimaru's misbehavior outside."

Mito Kadoyan on the side also echoed: "Indeed, the Wooden ninja is of great significance to the village. If other ninja villages know about this, it will be embarrassing for the whole of Konoha, and a decision must be made."

The third generation smiled bitterly and nodded helplessly. The wrinkles on his face seemed to be a little deeper.

Jiraiya on the side opened his mouth but said nothing. He was caught between the village and friendship. No matter what choice he made, it was against his own morality. He could only choose not to help both.

……

In the dark cave, a very huge human-shaped stone statue was embedded in the rock wall. The stone statue's face was ferocious and twisted, and there were nine closed eyes scattered on the face, which was extremely terrifying.

The mental projection fell on a finger of the stone statue. Kakuzu looked around and found that except for the leader Pain, there was not a single member of the Akatsuki organization.

Pain stood on his thumb and said coldly: "Kakuzu, sudden contact, what's the matter?"

Kakuzu said: "This time I met a bounty hunter codenamed 'Senju Hashirama' on the black market. Thanks to him, my partner died again."

"Thousand-hand pillars?"

Payne's eyes were a little weird, thinking of the masked man who called himself 'Uchiha Madara', and asked in a deep voice: "What's the strength of the other party?"

"Very powerful, and like the first Hokage, he also masters the Wood Release."

Kakuzu thought for a moment and then added: "If the other party is still alive now, it means that the other party has escaped the pursuit of Danzo with nearly ten jonin."

"Tuanzo..."

Payne recited the name silently twice, a look of hatred flashed in his eyes, and after a while he said: "You can try to invite the other party to join the organization."

Kakuzu nodded and said, "Do you want to arrange another partner for me?"

"If 'Senju Hashirama' joins the organization, he will be your partner."

Payne shook his head: "Most of the organization's personnel are currently in the Kingdom of Ghosts, and we can't spare any manpower. For the time being, you can act alone."

……

The next afternoon.

Shortly after Danzo returned to his base, he received a summons from the Third Generation.

After entering the Hokage room, Danzo looked at the three generations and two other Hokage advisors who were sitting upright, with a hint of fear in his eyes. He leaned on crutches and slowly sat down on the seat reserved for him in the center of the room.

After sitting down, Danzo didn't wait for Sandai to speak, and took the lead in asking: "It's such a big battle, Hiruzen, are you going to interrogate me like a prisoner?"

Seeing that his former companion was still unashamed, Sandai felt a surge of anger in his heart and coldly snorted: "Tampering with the village's information, concealing information about the Wooden Ninja, and leaving the village privately, Danzo, you are treating us all as fools. Yet?"

Faced with the accusations and questions, Danzo remained expressionless, with a hint of sarcasm flashing across his lips, and said with a smile: "Hiruzhan, I am doing this for your own good."

Koharu, who was sleeping next to him, frowned and said accusingly: "Duanzo, if you have something to say, don't change the subject."

Danzo glared at Koharu, then hummed softly: "You should have thought about it, the wood escape ninjas in the black market are Orochimaru's subordinates. Even if Hiruzen knows that his former apprentice has done these things, he will What can I do, I’m afraid I will fall into the old habit of being soft-hearted again.”

The anger on Sandai's face stagnated, and the aggressive aura of Koharu and Mito Kadenei who went to bed also softened, with a slightly hesitant look on their faces.

——If you think about it this way, Danzo's decisive attack and knocking him down with thunder is reasonable.

Danzo saw the expressions on the three people's faces. They were calm on the surface, but secretly sneered in his heart.

In fact, after seeing the exaggerated strength of 'Senju Hashirama' before, Danzo already understood that the other party could not be 'A', and most likely had nothing to do with Orochimaru, but this did not prevent him from using this in turn to get rid of him. sin.

"Hiruzen has been the Hokage for so many years. The interests of the village and personal emotions have always been clearly distinguished. I believe Hiruzen can make the right choice."

Mito Kaden coughed twice, smoothed things over for the third generation, and then accused: "In any case, Danzo, you have overstepped your authority and acted without authorization. You must be severely punished."

Xiaochun, who moved to bed, also agreed: "You are right, this time you must open the roster of root personnel, and all root personnel will be managed by the ANBU."

Naturally, Danzo would not accept such an excessive request and argued: "I am doing this all for the village."
