When the death of Uchiha Hokuto caused huge uproar in the Uchiha family, the Anbu who had been secretly monitoring the Uchiha clan also quickly rushed towards the Hokage's office after finding out the situation.

At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen was standing next to the window of the Hokage's office, looking at the Hokage Rock in the distance, his eyes falling on his statue, and smoking a dry cigarette indifferently.

The smoke filled the air, and Sarutobi Hiruzen's face was shrouded in the smoke, making it blurry.

Suddenly there was a "swipe" sound, and a masked ANBU ninja appeared in the Hokage's office, kneeling on one knee and facing Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen already knew who the visitor was, but he did not look back. Just an indifferent voice came from his mouth:

"What happened to the Uchiha clan?"

As his absolute confidant, Hiruzen Sarutobi would naturally no longer pretend to be approachable and affable. Those things were just a show in front of others.

The ANBU ninja looked at the person in front of him with feverish eyes. This was Lord Hokage, the one he swore allegiance to until death.

Then he replied respectfully:

"Lord Hokage! Uchiha Beidou, the eldest grandson of the second Uchiha elder, was killed in the clan."

"Now the family ninja within the Uchiha are frantically looking for the murderer."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned for a moment after hearing this. He had already heard about Uchiha Beidou;

I know that although he is only 7 or 8 years old, he is a very typical Uchiha.

He is arrogant, bullies others, looks down on others, and often talks about the Uchiha clan. He is a typical representative of the hawks of the Uchiha clan.

It's just that he was young after all. Sarutobi Hiruzen could not imagine who would attack Uchiha Beidou and kill him in the Uchiha clan.

After pondering for a moment, he tapped the pipe in his hand on the window eaves, and then said quietly:

"There have been no outside ninjas in the village recently, and the barrier class has not reported any strange ninjas breaking in; it is probably someone from the Uchiha clan who did it."

Having said this, Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a smile;

The more fierce the Uchiha clan fights within, the better it is for the village or for him. Only a divided Uchiha is a good Uchiha.

Then he ordered:

"You go back and continue to monitor the movements of the Uchiha clan. I will send someone to inquire about this matter. After all, he died in the village. As the Hokage, I still have to inquire."

"Yes!"

After the visitor solemnly accepted the order, his figure instantly disappeared into the Hokage's office. From the beginning to the end, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not turn around.

At this time, a young ninja with a full beard and an appearance similar to adult Asuma walked out of a dark room.

"Father, do you think Danzo's roots did this? After all, Danzo hates the Uchiha clan very much."

Sarutobi Hiruzen turned around and looked at the young and heroic eldest son standing in front of him. He was secretly satisfied and then smiled:

“Shinnosuke, Danzo couldn’t have done this;

He has a strong purpose in doing everything. I really don't know what benefits he can get by just killing an Uchiha Beidou. "

After hearing this and thinking about Shimura Danzo's character, Sarutobi Shinnosuke had to think that what his father said was right.

Then he asked doubtfully:

"Since it is possible that someone within the Uchiha is responsible, should we secretly add fuel to the fire and plunge the Uchiha clan into an even more intense internal fight?"

"After all, the Uchiha clan can be said to be the largest clan in the village. If we, the Sarutobi clan, want to go further, we must obviously invade their clan's interests."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke felt jealous when he thought about the Uchiha clan occupying the core position of the village;

Obviously the current Hokage is his father, why can't the Sarutobi clan live in the center of the village, but still live in a relatively remote place.

Hearing his eldest son's complaint, Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head, his expression became serious, and he warned:

"My Sarutobi clan can only be considered a middle-class clan now, even though I have been the Hokage for almost 20 years;

But after all, the family’s background is not deep, and it is not as good as that of big families like Uchiha and Hinata, so it is normal;”

"As long as I am still the Hokage, or the Sarutobi family can continue to hold the position of Hokage, it will be a matter of time for the Sarutobi family to surpass Uchiha and Hinata;

We must not let the Uchiha clan resolve this matter on their own for the sake of small gain;

Now because of Hatake Sakumo's suicide, I, the Hokage, have been criticized a lot. It's best not to cause trouble now and just wait for this storm to pass. "

After hearing his father's warning, Sarutobi Shinnosuke immediately knew that since he had defeated Hatake Sakumo and obtained the position of ANBU captain, he had become a little complacent and had lost his temper.

Knowing that something was wrong with his mentality, after calming down his emotions, he reflected on Sarutobi Hiruzen:

"Father, I am a little impatient and have not thought carefully!

My father is still strong enough to be a Hokage for a long time, enough to lead the Sarutobi clan to a further level. "

Seeing his eldest son suddenly awakening, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt more and more satisfied.

"It's good that you can figure it out. Now that you have replaced Hatake Sakumo as the captain of the ANBU, you should keep a low profile during this period and don't let others find an excuse to make trouble."

"I will arrange tasks with low difficulty and high achievements for you, so that your position as the leader of the dark forces can be justified;

You must accumulate merit now while you are young, and then you can take over the position of Hokage from me in the future more smoothly. "

After hearing the title of Hokage, Sarutobi Shinnosuke placed his eyes on the Hokage hat on his desk, and his heart suddenly became hot.

It was as if he had already seen himself wearing a Hokage hat and Hokage robe.

He quickly looked away, calmed down, and replied solemnly:

"Don't worry, father, I will never let you down. The position of Hokage is destined to be passed down only in my Sarutobi clan!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, and then after a few words of explanation, Sarutobi Shinnosuke left the Hokage's office.

The conversation between father and son was limited to the Hokage's office. The ANBU, which was originally guarding in secret, had already received orders from Sarutobi Hiruzen to stay away as early as when Sarutobi Shinnosuke appeared.

At this moment, with the departure of Sarutobi Shinnosuke, these ANBU returned to their respective posts, silently guarding the Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was sitting on the Hokage's seat, thinking secretly for a while, and then ordered in a deep voice to the empty Hokage's office:

"Xiao! Go to the Uchiha clan and ask Uchiha Fugaku about the murder of Uchiha Beidou."

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

A serious reply sounded in the air, and then an ANBU walked out of the darkness and rushed towards the Uchiha clan.
