Kurosaki Ichigo in Konoha

"Uchiha Ichigo has defected," Senju Tobirama stood in front of his desk and announced coldly to a large group of people in front of him.

"Defection," Uchiha Kagami was the first to react and said in disbelief, "This is impossible, Teacher Tobirama, how could Master Ichigo defect?"

"That's right." Koharu, who had been teammates with Kurosaki Ichigo for several years, also said, "Although Ichigo is a bit awkward, he is definitely not a defector."

"But this is the fact." Senju Tobirama picked up a piece of paper from the table and threw it to the Uchiha Mirror, "This is the information Danzo sent urgently through Xinying. Take a good look at it."

It stands to reason that this is confidential information, but the people summoned by Senju Tobirama are all important members of the Hokage advisory group. With the support of Senju Tobirama, their participation in Konoha's government affairs has gradually exceeded that of the elders, so Senju Tobirama Zou Feijian did not avoid them.

"I want to know what is going on, Kagami." Senju Tobirama saw that Uchiha Kagami had read the information on the piece of paper and handed it to others to circulate, and asked, "Is Uchiha Ichigo's defection related to There are relations within the Uchiha clan. Now is a sensitive period for relocating the Uchiha clan’s residence, so people have to be wary of this.”

Uchiha Jing did not answer hastily but frowned and held his chin to think. It was not until everyone present had read the information that he said: "Impossible. Although the great elder Uchiha Jing is very repulsive to other clans, But I have never avoided clan meetings, and I have never met anyone in private, and Master Ichigo is obsessed with training and rarely meets with the elders. It is impossible for him to defect because of the Uchiha clan's affairs."

"Of course I know this." Senju Tobirama nodded. From his eyes, it was obvious that Kurosaki Ichigo was not a clannish person like Uchiha Zhen. Instead of talking openly about the village's suppression of the Uchiha clan, "But the current situation is that Uchiha Ichigo has defected, and he is very determined, completely ignoring the retention of his companions. Judging from the information sent by Danzo, he He is completely awake and does not look like he is being coerced or under an illusion."

Uchiha Kagami looked at Senju Tobirama's gaze and lowered his head and said: "I think Master Ichigo must have his own reasons, otherwise he would not betray the village."

When Senju Tobirama heard this, he looked deeply at Uchiha Mirror. He knew that Uchiha Mirror had seen something from the report sent by Shimura Danzo, but for some reason he chose to remain silent. This made Senju Tobirama was a little disappointed. Originally, he was planning to train Uchiha Kagami as the next Hokage to ease the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the village. However, Uchiha Kagami has always positioned himself as an auxiliary talent. Although he has outstanding talents, he is used to hiding them. , not material to become Hokage.

"Does anyone else have any thoughts?" After feeling sorry for the Uchiha Mirror, Senju Tobirama turned his attention to others and asked.

"Teacher Tobirama, I remember that Danzo described the process of Uchiha Ichigo's defection in great detail, and there is a doubtful point in it." At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had been thinking for a long time, spoke to attract people's attention. Recall the words written by Shimura Danzo.

Sarutobi Hiruzen explained to them: "Originally, Uchiha Ichigo did not show any abnormality, but he defected after going to intercept Tokugawa Hideyoshi, and took away the mission target Gray's Stone and the girl named Nari. This lovely woman shows that his defection has a lot to do with the personnel involved in this mission."

"That is to say, as long as we find Tokugawa Hideyoshi, we will be able to understand the reason for Uchiha Ichigo's defection." The young man wearing glasses and an ordinary face added. Although he looks ordinary, his identity is not simple. He is Mito Monen is a disciple of Senju Tobirama and an important figure in the advisory group.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded in agreement with Mito Kadoyan's words and said at the same time: "Not only that, but also the news of Uchiha Ichigo's defection must be concealed. After all, he is the young patriarch of the Uchiha clan. Once this news is leaked, not only Uchiha The Bo clan will be in turmoil, and other villages will be ready to take action."

"Yes," Senju Tobirama looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with satisfaction and then asked Uchiha Kagami, "How about it, Kagami wants to conceal the news of Uchiha Ichigo's defection for the time being, can you do it?"

Uchiha mirror thought in embarrassment, and finally said for a long time: "Well...it's okay for everyone else. It's just that Master Ichigo's maid Jinna is really difficult to deal with. This kind of thing cannot be hidden from her."

"Uchiha Jinna?" Koharu narrowed her eyes when she went to bed. As soon as she mentioned this woman, a fire surged in her heart for some reason, "Can't you just find any reason to drive her out?"

Uchiha Jing shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This is not as simple as saying. In the past few years, Jin Nai has become not only a maid, but can even be regarded as half a mistress. Even the great elder has no idea when facing Jin Nai. Don’t dare be rude.”

"Then what should you do? You can't tell her about Uchiha Ichigo's defection," Koharu said angrily when he went to bed.

Uchiha Kage nodded solemnly and looked at Senju Tobirama and said: "I'm afraid the only way is to tell Jinna about this matter, and at the same time prohibit Princess Tsunade and the others from contacting Master Ichigo. In addition, Master Ichigo rarely shows up. This should be able to conceal the news.”

"Hey, hey," Koharu said before Senju Tobirama could say anything and went to bed, "That Uchiha Jinna is not even a ninja, how can you tell her such a confidential matter?"

"This is not a question of whether or not you are a ninja." Uchiha Kagami said calmly. This tone made Koharu raise his eyebrows when he went to bed, "Let Mr. Tobirama decide."

After turning to bed, Koharu sneered: "How could Teacher Tobirama agree to such a ridiculous thing?"

However, Senju Tobirama interrupted her: "Okay, this matter is settled, Kagami, you go and talk to Uchiha Jinna about this."

"How could it be so?" Xiaochun looked at Qianju Tobirama in astonishment. He stopped after saying his decision and seemed to be thinking about something. This made Xiaochun hope again in his heart, "Please think about it again, Feijian." "Teacher Jian"

"It's better to call Uchiha Jinna here. I'll tell her this in person." However, Senju Tobirama's next words severely shattered Koharu's fantasy of sleeping in bed.

"Yes." Uchiha Mirror responded in a deep voice.

After sleeping, Koharu opened his mouth to say something else, but Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke in advance: "One more thing, Hedy, the person who issued this mission, probably knows a lot about the secrets of the Grayl Stone, so he should go Ask them."

"I have sent people to temporarily imprison Hedi and others." Qianju Tojian said expressionlessly. Everyone present was shocked. They did not expect that Qianju Tojian's methods were so cruel, and He was directly imprisoned. Di and his group were imprisoned, and Sarutobi Hiruzen, as a moderate, found it even more difficult to accept it.

Senju Tobirama noticed Sarutobi Hiruzen's confusion, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he clapped his hands and said to everyone in front of him: "Okay, that's it for now, Koharu, you will lead the ANBU team to hunt him down right away. The defected Uchiha Ichigo, Menyan, you are responsible for interrogating the retainers of Hedi and Nariko."

"Yes" Mito Kadoyan immediately agreed. Although Koharu was a little reluctant to go to bed, he still agreed.

At the same time, within the territory of the Kingdom of Fire.

"Well," Ichigo Kurosaki blinked and struggled out of the darkness, groaning in pain.

Naliko's voice full of surprise came from the side: "Hey, you're awake."

Kurosaki Ichigo turned around in confusion and found Nariko squatting next to him, leaning down and looking at him with concern, and then a cold feeling pressed against his forehead: "What's going on?"

Nali could see that Kurosaki Ichigo seemed to be fine, so she withdrew her hand against Kurosaki Ichigo's forehead and said unhappily: "How do I know you didn't suddenly faint just after you walked near here? I don’t dare to go to the village over there rashly, so I have to drag you here.”

"Really..." Kurosaki Ichigo shook his head violently, remembering that he seemed to have fainted suddenly before. In a blink of an eye, he found that Naliko's originally white gown was now covered with mud. It should be He got it while dragging himself here, so he looked directly at Naliko and said, "I'm sorry, I really bothered you to bring me here."

"Well, it's not a big deal." Nariko's face turned red at Kurosaki Ichigo's gaze, and she turned around with her hands on her shoulders, "I would have been very distressed without you."

"Ha" Kurosaki Ichigo sat up and hummed in confusion as he squinted his eyes and failed to hear Nariko's words clearly.

After Kurosaki Ichigo snorted like this, Nari realized that there was some ambiguity in what she just said, and immediately said anxiously: "Hey, I didn't mean what you thought. I meant that if it weren't for you... bah bah. , I mean, I need you to help me..."

"Okay," Kurosaki Ichigo said impatiently, covering Nariko's mouth with one hand, "You talk too much, now we need to figure out the situation first."

Naliko glared at Kurosaki Ichigo and threw his hand away and said angrily: "If you hadn't fainted suddenly, there wouldn't be so many things. You'd better figure out the reason for yourself first."

"Well, you can guess this kind of thing at a glance," Kurosaki Ichigo touched his lower back, where the wound shot by Danzo Shimura's shuriken had basically healed, and he could only press hard. You will feel pain only when you go up. "It should be that the previous shuriken was quenched with poison."

"Poison quenching, how are you doing now?" Upon hearing that Kurosaki Ichigo might have been poisoned, Nari asked with some worry. At the same time, she was comforting herself in her heart just because Kurosaki Ichigo could take her out of danger. You care about this guy so much.

Kurosaki Ichigo smiled at Naliko: "I almost forgot that Danzo is an unscrupulous person, but it's nothing serious. Although I didn't expect that he had quenched the poison on the weapon, Danzo obviously didn't. It killed me, so it didn’t hurt my life.”
