Konoha: Doing good deeds can make you stronger

Chapter 157 One Half of Safety

"You don't know?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's different responses to the two made Marutani Kou suddenly stunned.

Are Itachi and Shisui not together?

So everything I judged before was wrong?
What the hell is going on?

Shikahisa Nara beside him also frowned silently listening to the conversation between the two.

Someone, did something to the Uchiha clan?

"Xiaohang, Uchiha Itachi was indeed sent out to perform a mission. You can rest assured about this, but the mission that Itachi is currently performing is relatively private, so the village has not announced its detailed situation, and the situation when the mission was announced before It's urgent, so it's normal that Itachi doesn't have time to tell others, and besides, if there are no accidents, Itachi should be back in two days."

Hiruza Sarutobi told all the news about Itachi, and from the tone of the other party, it can be heard that he is very calm at this time, and there is nothing to doubt, and Hiruza Sarutobi made it very clear that it will only take a few days for Itachi Will come back, if it's fake, he doesn't need to say that.

So it's true that Itachi went on a mission?
"Then, what about Zhishui?"

"Shisui," Hiruzaru Sarutobi frowned and tried to recall for a while, and finally shook his head, "I have no information about him at all, so you can't contact him?"

"Yes, neither of them can be contacted, so Master Fuyue of the Uchiha clan was very anxious, so he asked me to ask."

Marutani Koko told the truth cleanly, without any intention of hiding it.

"Oh? Did Fugaku ask you to come?" Not only Sarutobi Hiruzen, but also representatives of other families were a little surprised by Marutani Kou's response.

"Yes," Marutani Kou quietly observed the reactions of several big family members around, and found that no one else showed a strong reaction, except for the representative of the Hyuga family. At this time, the ninja had already begun to frown. in a hurry."

"So the head of the Uchiha clan is suspicious of the village?" Sarutobi Hiruzen did not let Marutani Ko go, but changed the subject and began to doubt the relationship between Marutani Ko and the Uchiha clan, "He wants to ask me a question, why should I Is it up to you to tell the story? I remember that your relationship with the Uchiha clan is not that good either."

After the words fell, people from other families began to make crazy eye contact, especially those from the Hyuga clan. Marutani Kou could clearly feel that the other party's eyes were staring at him closely, waiting for his answer.

"Oh, so it is."

The situation seemed to be a little urgent, but Marutani Kou did not feel nervous at all.

"A few days ago, when Naruto was playing with his friends, Sasuke happened to be among them, but Sasuke was not in a good mood that day, and the children all saw his strangeness. As we all know, Hyuga Nei of the Hyuga family has a second nature Kind, and has a very high right to speak among the children, so I started to organize everyone to find a way to find the problem that made Sasuke unhappy. They took the initiative to find me, and that is why I deliberately went to the gathering place of the Uchiha clan to check today. Due to some circumstances, the current visit came about, by the way, Shikamaru, Choji, and Kiba were all present at the time besides Neji."

Marutani Kou's tone was very flat, but the words he said were powerful.

His tricks can be described as endless, and he spread the original suspicions against him to the various families with ease. A "good thing" for a partner.

The most frightening thing is that what Marutani Koko just said happened in real life, even if Hiruzaru Sarutobi and other family members investigate later, they will get the same result.

"Oh, that child Neci is like this, he has always been pure and kind."

Hearing Koji Marutani mentioning Neji on his own initiative, and acknowledging Neji's "leadership" among the children, the members of the Hinata family smiled instantly, as if they had completely forgotten the complicated mood just a minute ago.

Coincidentally, almost all the families represented by the children just mentioned were present at the scene. After the representatives of the Hyuga clan expressed their views, they also began to praise their younger generations for being sensible and knowing how to relieve their friends' worries.

"Okay, they're all good kids."

Marutani Koko's answer was almost flawless, and even Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded in satisfaction.

Of course Sarutobi Hiruzen believed in Marutani Kou, but even if he didn't mention this matter, it would be used by others as a "handle" to attack Maruya Kou in the future. I thought of a reason for Marutani Kou, but now that the boy responded so perfectly, he just smiled and let it go.

Marutani Koko's level of performance is not a joke, and it only took a few words to restore the tense office to its original state.

"So the third generation, will Itachi return to the village soon?"

Marutani Kou brought the topic back to Itachi and Shisui.

"Yes, in fact, according to the original arrangement, Itachi should have returned to the village yesterday, but he reported that some things happened on the way to delay time, but it will probably take these two days to come back."

Sarutobi Hiruzen is quite satisfied with Itachi, he can always perfectly complete the tasks he assigns, and as a junior of a "hostile" force, he always keeps pursuing the "will of fire", so how could he attack him Woolen cloth?

Itachi and Marutani Koko are very similar, they are both the buffer zone between the village and the various families, but behind Itachi is the Uchiha clan, and behind Marutani Koko is the various families of Konoha.

Marutani Koko is even more terrifying than Itachi. He has now become the connecting point of Konoha's various families. From this perspective, this boy will definitely become a great figure in Konoha in the future. How high will the achievement be?

Hiruzaru Sarutobi didn't dare to imagine.

Although Itachi's situation is clear, Shisui still has no news.

"Is there really no news about Zhishui from your side?"

"I'm sorry, there is indeed no information about Shisui in the village," Hiruzaru Sarutobi shook his head regretfully, "I haven't assigned any missions to Shisui Uchiha recently, he should be in a state of free activity now."

"Since this is the case, I believe that Patriarch Fuyue will also trust your news, Lord Hokage. I will leave here first. Everyone, please continue the previous topic."

Marutani Kou bowed respectfully to everyone present.

It seems that Sarutobi Hiruzen really didn't know about Shisui's news, but no matter what, Marutani Kou still got accurate information from Itachi this time, so he was relieved.

People from all the families were still in the office, and it was meaningless for Marutani Hang to stay any longer, so he resigned in a sensible manner and prepared to leave the room.

But just as Marutani Kou was about to leave the office, the ninja who had been silent at the very edge suddenly spoke.

"Shino said he admired you very much."

"Uh."

Marutani Kou suddenly stopped, looked at the ninja who had just spoken, and then realized which family it was.

The other party's dress was exactly the same as the oil girl Shino I saw before, with the same frame of glasses and the dress that wrapped him tightly, the only difference was that he had two beards on his mouth.

"Thank you, I like Shino too."

"Ah."

The other party nodded and turned his gaze away, not continuing to speak.

Dressed in the same way, and with such an intimate address for Shino, the identity of this ninja is very obvious.

He should be Shino's father, Younv Zhiwei.

No one planned to speak except Yume Shiwei, and Marutani Kou quietly exited the room, returning the time and space to others.

"All right."

Marutani Koko closed the door, and Sarutobi Hiruzen tapped on the table lightly, drawing everyone's attention back.

"Let's continue the discussion."

"Should we abolish the guard?"
