Kurosaki Ichigo in Konoha

"Is it feasible to just wait and see?" Akimichi asked, scratching his head. Being born in the Akimichi clan, he seemed to have inherited the family's consistent personality and was not willing to think about these things, so he turned his attention to Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura. Danzo, after all, they have always been the ones making decisions.

Shimura Danzo did not express his position, but glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen, showing his respect for the new Hokage, "What do you think, Hiruzen?"

"Well, this seems to be the safest way." Sarutobi Hiruzen was also a little surprised by Shimura Danzo's attitude towards him, but he quickly reacted and said after a deep sigh, "But we can't put all our hopes in it. Based on this method, the Flying Kite Force should still be reactivated to trace Uchiha Ichigo’s whereabouts.”

Several people in the room knew about the existence of the Tobi Force, which was the force originally set up by Senju Tobirama to track down the whereabouts of Kurosaki Ichigo. However, they did not expect that Sarutobi Hiruzen would actually decide to re-establish the Tobi Force.

After a moment of silence, Koharu went to bed and was the first to respond to Sarutobi Hiruzen's statement, "I agree. I was appointed by the Second Generation as the leader of the Tobi Force before, but it was only temporarily disbanded after the Great Ninja War."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled at Koharu, who was sleeping with him, and thanked her for supporting him. However, he always felt that this companion always seemed to be very concerned about Kurosaki Ichigo's affairs. He didn't know whether it was because of resentment caused by the failure of the original mission or because of the failure of the mission. The sense of responsibility as the leader of the Flying Kite Force or some other emotion, so he decided to ask other people's opinions, "What do you think?"

"I don't have any objections," Mito Kadoen said. "After all, we can't guarantee that Uchiha Ichigo won't be discovered by people from other countries before he finds that ore vein, so it's better to take the initiative in his own hands."

Uchiha Kagami said, "I disagree. Now that the Ninja World War has just ended, it is time to recuperate. If the Flying Kite Force is re-established at this time, and this force will inevitably sneak into other countries If we conduct an investigation and other major powers learn about it, the situation in the ninja world will definitely become very complicated, and it will be bad to trigger another ninja war."

When she went to bed, Koharu immediately retorted, "I can't accept why we just ran there and waited there stupidly." After saying that, in order to seek support, she turned to look at Mito Monobu next to her, "What do you think, Monobu?" "

"I also think that we can't just wait for Uchiha Ichigo to come to our door," Mito Kadoyan said, "After all, if other major countries notice this or find Uchiha Ichigo's whereabouts, it will also trigger a crisis. A great ninja war."

Uchiha Mirror smiled bitterly, "It's not that I don't know these things, but we have no other choice. You must know that when Master Ichigo defected, he defeated and even killed more than ten jounin."

Koharu blushed when she mentioned the pursuit of Kurosaki Ichigo. After all, she was the one who led four elite ANBU teams to hunt down Kurosaki Ichigo and almost caused the entire army to be annihilated, so she looked unhappy. He said, "Yes, he is indeed very strong, but with the strength of Feiyuan troops, we can definitely catch him."

"That was the former Hiyori Force." Uchiha Kagami emphasized to Koharu, "The former Hiyori Force had twenty elite jounin alone, and there were about sixty to seventy ordinary jounin. As for the After completing the auxiliary work, there are even more special jounin and ANBU members who don't know their mission, the number is no less than two hundred, but do you know the number of ninjas in the village now?"

Uchiha Kagami's question made Koharu stunned. She knew that Uchiha Kagami had always been in charge of Konoha's logistics and personnel. How could she know that? So she couldn't help but froze and was speechless.

Seeing that Koharu went to bed without saying anything, Uchiha Kagami began to ask and answer questions to himself: "Currently, there are only more than 50 elite jounin in the village. Compared with the more than 250 before the war, it has decreased by at least 70.00% from the 100 before the war. There are now only more than [-] remaining members, a reduction of nearly half. This also includes the jounin who were specially promoted during the war. It is even worse. From nearly a thousand before the war, there are only [-] left now. There are multiple people, and the attrition rate is even worse than the attrition rate of the Chuunin, which is the basic combat unit."

Everyone else in the room fell silent. They all knew that the Ninja World War had an extremely serious impact on Konoha, but they did not know it as clearly as Uchiha Kagami. So when they heard Uchiha Kagami's narration, He couldn't help but gasped.

But Uchiha Kagami seemed to have not said enough and continued, "Sarutobi, I know that you have been busy with peace talks recently, but this does not mean that as Hokage, you can ignore the importance of logistics and personnel. Now is not the prosperous era before the war. Well, our strength in Konoha has been severely weakened by years of war. Do you know how much of our resources it will take to organize a pursuit force as powerful as the flying kite?

"Elite jounin must be occupied at least half, and ordinary jounin must be occupied one-tenth. What's more, with the special jounin and the ANBU members we can invest, it is not sure whether we can make up more than 200 people.

"Even if we can gather it together and devote it to the Hiyori Force, then we, Konoha, don't have to worry about it. Do you know how much combat power there is in the security force now? There are 20 elite jounin, hundreds of ordinary jounin, special jounin and One Hundred Elite Chunin

"You know, although I am also a member of the Uchiha clan, I have always stood on the side of the village. That's why I want to remind you that the Uchiha clan is already ready to take action due to the weakening of Konoha's strength. If we are rebuilding the Kite now, Troops, wouldn’t that give the Uchiha clan a great opportunity to rebel?”

Uchiha Kagami's words left Sarutobi Hiruzen and others speechless. It turned out that they who had been fighting outside knew far less about the village than Uchiha Kagami at the rear, especially Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was rebuilding the Kite Force. The person who proposed the plan was really embarrassed by these words.

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked around in shame, and found that Koharu, who had previously supported him, lowered his head and stopped talking, Mito Katoen also looked thoughtful, and Akimichi Tofuu was holding a snack he had taken out from nowhere. He was eating carelessly, obviously not paying attention to Uchiha Kagami's accusation, while Uchiha Kagami looked directly at him without any dodge, as calm as usual, as if the words he just said were not from him. His mouth is average, as for Shimura Danzo

After looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen like this, he realized that Shimura Danzo had closed his eyes at some point, raised his head slightly, and kept moving his lips, as if he was mumbling something.

"Hey, Danzo, do you have anything to say? It seems that you haven't spoken since just now." Hiruzen Sarutobi asked. Only then did he remember that when he was discussing whether to rebuild Fei Feiyuan's army, he had always said Shimura Danzo, who was unwilling to remain silent and wanted to express his views, was silent, which made him a little curious.

After Shimura Danzo heard Sarutobi Hiruzen's inquiry, he opened his eyes slightly and glanced at the other party, as if he was laughing at his old enemy's deflated appearance. Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows. Being scolded like this in front of Zang really made him feel a little embarrassed, so he opened his mouth to ask again, hoping to relieve the embarrassment.

"Generally speaking, I support Kagami's opinion." However, Danzo Shimura did not give Hiruzen Sarutobi a chance to ask further questions. He glanced at him and said slowly, making Hiruzen Sarutobi's words come to his lips. He didn't hold it back, "But I suddenly thought of another thing."

"Oh, what's the matter?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked directly without caring about anything else. After all, he also wanted to know that it was definitely not simple to make Shimura Danzo not participate in the discussion and instead think about it.

Danzo Shimura did not answer, but turned to look at Koharu Koharu, "You should still remember this. After Ichigo Uchiha defected, you led four pursuit teams here, and I handed over some information to you." Then we went back to the village.”

When Xiaochun went to bed, his face was not very good. He secretly hated why these guys always liked to mention this matter, but he still nodded stiffly and said, "Yes, I remember that there were a few people who went back with you and were summoned by you. , the Chuunin team performing a mission nearby."

"The key is these Chunin teams," Shimura Danzo said.

Koharu went to bed and was a little confused, "Why is the Chuunin team?"

"To be precise, it's the mission of those Chuunin teams." Seeing the doubtful looks cast by the other people, Danzo Shimura explained, "The purpose of calling them here is to escort a group of people, and that group of people It was the retainer of Nariko who was taken away by Uchiha Ichigo. These people only briefly interrogated them and left them there after the war started. Now we may be able to find a breakthrough in them."

Regarding Shimura Danzo's thoughts, Koharu expressed doubts about "what they can know."

A smile appeared on Danzo Shimura's lips, "It is said that Uchiha Ichigo is very knowledgeable and has basically read through the Uchiha family's collection of books, but we can ask Kaoru if you and the Uchiha family's collection of books have anything to do with that "Grel" Is it recorded in stone?”

Everyone looked at the Uchiha mirror, and saw him looking up and thinking for a while, then shaking his head, "Probably not. The books that Master Ichigo looked at were basically from the library of the patriarch's house. I dare not say anything about the books in them. I have read them all carefully, but also briefly read them, and there is absolutely no record of the Grayl Stone."

"That's it." Shimura Danzo clapped his hands. "At that time, one of Nariko's retainers was named Tokugawa Hideyoshi. He was sent to obtain a scroll before we arrived. I felt like Uchiha Ichigo at that time. He seemed a little absent-minded, so he was sent to intercept Tokugawa Hideyoshi who was about to return.

"You all know what happened after that. Uchiha Ichigo defected and rescued Nariko. But what's interesting is that after I captured Tokugawa Hideyoshi, I found that he didn't have any scrolls on him, so I speculated that It was Uchiha Ichigo who found something on that scroll, so he decided to defect.

"What we have to do is to find or deduce the contents of the scroll, and then follow the clues to grasp the purpose and direction of Uchiha Ichigo's actions."
