Chapter 64 Until Death Part 1
The ANBU's analysis and the information placed on the table caused everyone in the conference room to fall into a long silence.
Under the bright light, there was only the sound of intensive turning of books. The ANBU who had just been responsible for explaining stood respectfully aside. Mito Uzumaki was the first to raise his head from reading the document at hand.
"What is certain is that the perpetrator is very powerful and probably sneaked into Konoha. So what was the reason why this strong man assassinated Shimura Kinen?"
Uzumaki Mito asked. This was also what puzzled her. If they were hostile, assassinating everyone present would undoubtedly have a greater impact on Konoha.
"Could it be the Uchiha clan?" Mito Kadenen asked. He studied under the second generation, and he also didn't have any good impressions of Uchiha.
"The real difficulty of the assassination is not to be discovered by the ANBU outside. The only Uchiha clan with this strength is Mount Uchiha." Uzumaki Mito explained.
"It can't be Mount Uchiha. He didn't go out yesterday." Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up at this time.
"An organization I have never heard of killed Shimura Kinen. The reason may be employment? Revenge?" Koharu went to bed and picked up the ghost cards on the table and looked at them carefully. "But according to the known information, it was Uchiha.
The possibility of a family is extremely high."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression changed slightly. An unknown enemy suddenly appeared, making him feel that the burden on his shoulders was heavier. "Several other major countries have also been unstable recently, and this kind of thing happened again."
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that chaos has arisen and that the second war in the ninja world is coming. He really does not want to weaken the strength of the Leaf Village.
Sarutobi Hiruzen subconsciously looked at Mito Uzumaki, and sometimes he couldn't help but feel that as long as Mito Uzumaki was still alive, the village would not be in chaos.
"The village has strengthened martial law and patrols. The Anbu has begun investigating this organization and strengthening monitoring of the Uchiha clan. I will be responsible for upgrading the village's barrier. Does Hiruzen have anything to add?" Uzumaki Mito pondered for a moment and proposed his own solution.
Method, if the enemy cannot be tracked, the analysis here is completely meaningless.
Although there is no evidence, a conflict broke out between the Uchiha clan and the Shimura clan a few days ago.
"I have nothing to add. Please pay attention to your safety during this period." Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of Runyu's appearance, and he instinctively felt that this matter had something to do with him.
Qiudao Qifeng silently rubbed his eyes and yawned. He didn't join the discussion at all just now, he just came to make up the numbers. What he was thinking about was how to obtain the secret technique from Runyu.
...
After the meeting, Tsunade and Uzumaki Mito walked side by side on the streets of Konoha. From their appearance, they looked more like a mother and daughter.
"I know that you have a good personal relationship with Runyu, but you still have to be cautious with him." Uzumaki Mito suddenly spoke to Tsunade and told him. "Shimura Kinobu, we just had a conflict with him a few days ago. Yesterday
He died, this matter must be related to him."
What Uzumaki Mito could think of, Sarutobi Hiruzen could naturally do the same. He did not touch the Uchiha clan, not only because there was no evidence, but also because the situation in the ninja world was no longer optimistic.
If it was the Uchiha clan who took action, it meant that they were hiding a strong man who was not weaker than Uchiha-san. This was the reason why the senior officials took action.
"Grandma, I understand." Tsunade nodded and said. Although she was a little rough, it didn't mean she was stupid.
Tsunade took out the candy she carried with her and put it in her mouth, thinking to herself, "But that kind of person deserves to die, right?"
After understanding what Shinobi Shimura had done, Tsunade no longer had any hostility towards the mysterious killer.
On the other side, Uchiha-san also learned about the death of Shimura Kinobu, and his first thought was that Runyu had sent someone to take action.
It was finally determined that there was no record of the Uchiha clan jonin going out yesterday, and alibi could basically be found.
The top management of Konoha believed that the Uchiha clan was responsible, but the Uchiha clan stated that they did not take the blame. After Uchiha Mountain self-examination, it was determined that this person was not an Uchiha clan!
Then he immediately approached Hiruzen Sarutobi. The Uchiha clan was unwilling to take the blame.
"Third Hokage-sama, our clan has nothing to do with the death of Shimura Kiminobu." Uchiha-san said categorically and sincerely.
"I would like to swear by the glory of our clan for thousands of years! The death of Shimura Kiminobu has nothing to do with our clan!" Uchiha-san held his head high and his chest high, with an upright expression.
"This matter has nothing to do with our clan, and our clan has no interest in taking the blame for that madman." Uchiha-san said calmly, removing the Uchiha clan from the whole matter.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the chattering Uchiha in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little shaken in his heart. Could it be that all this really has nothing to do with the Uchiha clan?
"Tiger, I believe that the Uchiha clan cannot do anything to harm village members." Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a smile.
"Sir, the Third Hokage, please understand that as a member of Konoha, our clan will definitely not be able to do such things as harming our companions!" Uchiha-san said with clear eyes and a resolute face.
"Wherever the leaves are flying, the fire is endless." Uchiha said with emotion.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's hostility toward Mount Uchiha slowly faded, and a faint recognition arose in his heart.
Has he always wrongly blamed the Uchiha clan? Could it be that they already have great love for Konoha Village?
He was silent for a moment, feeling that his unreasonable suspicion of the Uchiha clan was a little too much.
Next, the two people began to have an in-depth discussion about the understanding of the will of fire. In the end, Sarutobi Hiruzen discovered that the person in front of him had a very similar understanding of the will of fire to him. It is difficult to find a confidant!
After Mount Uchiha left, Hiruzen Sarutobi told the ANBU, "The monitoring of the Uchiha clan can be cancelled."
Sarutobi Hiruzen believed that under the leadership of the Tiger who could identify with the will of fire, the Uchiha clan would truly become a part of Konoha.
Runyu looked at the bookshelf in front of him, with a bit of confusion flashing in his eyes. He had always been in the habit of writing a few books when he had time, and then accumulated them, such as "Endurance Breaks the Sphere", "The Great Ninja Master" and "Global Dream Ninja"
Of course, there are also several more alternative books, including "Understanding and Derivatives of the Will of Fire", which mainly talks about Hiruzen Sarutobi's understanding of the Will of Fire in his old age. This is a casual book, but the strange thing is
The book is missing!
How dare someone dare to sneak into the Uchiha clan and steal things? That's okay.
"Dad, the book I wrote is lost!"
"It's at my place. I took a look at it. I think it's pretty good and worth learning from."
Runyu couldn't help but have an image of Mount Uchiha telling a group of Uchiha brats about the will of fire in his mind.
"I mean, that book is very suitable for brainwashing." As if he guessed the picture in Runyu's mind, Uchiha-san explained seriously.
Chapter completed!
