Back in time from Naruto

The next day, June 10, morning.

Hokage Building, in the conference room next to the Hokage's office.

At this time, at the long table in the conference room, which could seat hundreds of people, half of Konoha's top executives had already arrived.

In addition to maintaining the basic operation of the village and some Jonin who went out on missions, basically all the elites in the village were present.

Among them were the heads of the Hyuga Clan, the Yamanaka Clan, the Inuzuka Clan, the Nara Clan and other major clans, as well as some elite Jonin holding important positions, who were also present.

Of course, Uchiha Fugaku was also present.

The person at the top of the list is a middle-aged man with a resolute face. His figure is a little thin compared to the strong jounin around him, but his whole person has an aura of calmness and self-reliance. He is the third generation Hokage of Konoha. , Sarutobi Hiruzen, known as Shinobi.

There were three other people sitting next to his subordinates, none other than Konoha's three Hokage advisors Shimura Danzo, Koharu Koharu, and Mito Kadoen.

“Some people must already know what happened last night, and some people may not know yet.

Uchiha Namichi, a member of the Uchiha clan, was killed in the forest outside the village. The murderer deliberately left the body behind and created some illusions at the scene in an attempt to delay time. "

The Third Hokage's face was as dark as water, and he was the first to speak.

Although everyone in the field heard some rumors before coming to the meeting, some were unaware of the situation.

At this time, he was shocked when he heard Sandai's words.

"Uchi Namichi was killed outside the village."

"Could it be a spy from another village who did it?"

"But how did they sneak in?"

"Even the forest outside the village is covered by a barrier. The village's defensive barrier should be very complete. How could the enemy sneak into it?"

The Jonin talked a lot, and then looked at Uchiha Fugaku with a sullen face.

Uchi Namichi's name is also relatively loud in the village. He is a dazzling genius ninja among the new generation.

Now the Uchiha clan has lost a genius, and he didn't die during the war. This is a huge loss.

The Third Hokage signaled everyone to be quiet. When the conference room became quiet again, he sighed and said to Uchiha Fugaku:

"The death of Uchiha Namichi is a loss to the Uchiha clan, and even more to the village. I deeply regret this, Fugaku, don't worry, the village will definitely give the Uchiha clan a satisfactory answer."

"Sandaime-sama, you are serious." Uchiha Fugaku looked at the Third Generation. At this time, he had calmed down.

At first, he even had some dark thoughts, but seeing the positive attitude of the third generation in dealing with things, he changed his mind, but he still subconsciously glanced at Danzo at the hands of the third generation.

Regarding Fugaku's calmness, Sandai nodded and continued:

"Although the murderer is very good at counter-tracking, I sent Orochimaru to lead the ANBU to track him last night.

Just an hour ago, Orochimaru returned to the village with the murderer's body.

The body is now being handed over to the interrogation department for investigation. Some memory fragments should be found in the body to determine which village he is a spy from.

This incident also gave us a warning. There are still loopholes in the village's defense strength. How did the enemy enter the village and how did they leave quietly.

Also, although I don’t want to think so, can we rule out the possibility that someone in the village is colluding with the enemy?

Although I don't want to believe this is possible. "

As he said that, Sandaime glanced at Danzo who was watching his nose and his heart.

Danzo, who was originally silent, saw the Sandai looking at him. As a teammate and opponent for decades, he naturally understood the Sandai's intentions.

Seeing this, Danzo snorted coldly: "Well, I will definitely investigate this matter."

When Sandai heard this, he also knew that Danzo was denying it, but whether he believed it or not was another matter.

"Hiruzhan, in addition to these things, there is another important thing." Mito Kadoyan reminded him at the right time.

The third generation nodded, "After this incident, the village will strengthen its defense and let the barrier team improve their defensive techniques.

At the same time, conduct an internal investigation to find out if there are still spies in the village.

In addition, I hope that the clan leaders and jounin will urge your juniors and subordinates to practice quickly.

Now every village is eyeing Konoha and secretly preparing to make a move. I don't know how long the peace in the ninja world can last.

According to intelligence, Platycodon City on the western border of the Country of Fire has captured several groups of spies from Suna Ninja Village. In addition, the border of the Country of Wind frequently changes defenses and continues to increase the number of garrisoned troops.

Although we have sent envoys to inquire, the other party's answer is just a normal defense change. As for the spies, they said it was a frame-up by the enemy.

In addition, although Iwagakure and Kumogakure did not make any big moves, they still had to guard against them. "

As soon as the Third Hokage finished speaking, Danzo showed a murderous look on his face, narrowed his eyes and said:

"A mere Suna ninja village dares to challenge Konoha. It seems that these ninja villages still can't remember the lesson.

Konoha still has a chance of winning even against the three great powers of Wind, Earth, and Thunder at the same time. "

"I still hope to avoid war through negotiation. After all, peace is hard-won." Sandai shook his head.

Danzo retorted with a sullen face: "What if these villages are determined to go to war with Konoha?"

“Konoha will not initiate a war, but it will not be afraid of challenges either.

In order to avoid the worst case scenario, Konoha must be prepared for war while negotiating with other villages.

In addition, Kirigakure also had to be on guard. Even if a war started, it was best to avoid Konoha from fighting multiple villages at the same time.

We must first focus our strategy, concentrate our superior forces, and quickly defeat the village that strikes first.

Regarding specific matters, in the coming time, several of our senior leaders will discuss countermeasures, and then everyone will discuss them together. "

Faced with Danzo's rebuttal, a trace of murderous intent flashed through Sandai's eyes. Although Sandai still hoped to achieve peace through negotiation, he was still at the peak of his strength, and his courage was naturally far from the submissive and forbearing one he would be in the future. The old man is comparable.

"Hmph." In response to Sandai's answer, Danzo snorted lightly and did not refute again.

Although he knew that Konoha was extremely powerful, he also knew that it would not be a wise move to take on multiple villages at the same time.

The idea of ​​the third generation is nothing more than to coax one or two of the remaining four countries first, only need to delay it for a while, and then defeat the one that comes first, and then turn around to attack the other countries.

It's just a nice thing to say.

The death of Uchi Namichi seems to be just an episode to these high-level bosses. After all, Konoha has never been short of geniuses. The value of a dead genius is naturally greatly reduced.

It's a pity, but the important thing is the current situation.

The meeting lasted for more than two hours, and it was 9 o'clock in the morning.

At this time, just as the meeting was coming to an end, the door to the conference room was pushed open.

There are only a handful of people in the entire Konoha who can enter the conference room directly without notifying them in advance.

The person has a thin face, narrow eyes, black eyeliner and purple eyeshadow, weird golden vertical pupils, and blue magatama-shaped earrings on his ears.

It was Orochimaru, a disciple of the Third Hokage and one of the three ninjas.

"Orochimaru, is there any result?" Sandai asked immediately when he saw Orochimaru.

Orochimaru nodded: "The person who killed Uchi Namichi was Konoha's Jonin Morikawa Toma. We discovered a special spell from his brain. This spell can seal the memory of the recipient. Only after the spell is cast The magician will only break the seal when needed.

In other words, before the seal was released, Morikawa Toma was a jounin of Konoha, but after the seal was released, he became a spy for other villages.

According to Morikawa Touma's memory, he was a war orphan adopted by an orphanage in Konoha at the age of 6. He became a genin at the age of 10, a chuunin at the age of 12, and a jounin at the age of 19, which was last year. "

"It turned out to be Morikawa Toma, I didn't expect that there was such a technique."

"No wonder even the village's defensive barrier couldn't detect it. It turned out to be one of our own."

After hearing Orochimaru's explanation, everyone was shocked. They did not expect such a result.

Sandai's face also changed slightly. Although he was known as a doctor of ninjutsu and knew thousands of ninjutsu, he was not good at sealing techniques. He did not expect such a weird technique.

"So, besides Morikawa Toma, are there any other ninjas in Konoha who may have been affected by this technique?"

Danzo's words changed the expressions of everyone present. The ninjas present were either from family backgrounds or descendants of ninjas. They were all native Konoha people, and basically there would be no problems. However, nowadays there are also wars outside Konoha Village. Orphans were adopted and trained by Konoha to become chuunin or even jounin. Aren't those people likely to be spies?

"Probably not." In response to everyone's panic, Orochimaru promptly explained:

"This sealing technique should have great limitations, and the success rate of the technique is obviously very low.

According to Morikawa Touma's memory, he was subjected to the sealing technique eight years ago. In addition, there were five other people who were subjected to the sealing technique, but all of them died.

Even if those people are not dead, not everyone will have the opportunity to become an upper-level member of the village and participate in decision-making.

Morikawa Toma is obviously an exception.

And I believe it won't be long before we can figure out a way to break the spell.

As for investigating whether there are spies in the village, it is much easier to find out whether they are under the spell than to apply the sealing spell.

Unfortunately, when Morikawa Toma died, another spell in his mind destroyed all his memories.

It is now impossible to tell which village he is a spy from. "

Orochimaru has great military exploits and has a very high prestige in Konoha. In addition, he is a disciple of the third generation, and many jounin in the field have fought alongside him.

The ninjas present were very convinced by Orochimaru Ichitsu's calm analysis.

"Very well, Orochimaru, I'll leave this matter to you." The third generation seemed very satisfied with Orochimaru's handling.

"Yes, Sarutobi-sensei." Orochimaru nodded in agreement.

Then he took out a glass bottle from his arms. The bottle was filled with transparent liquid, and two slightly ferocious eyes were lying quietly at the bottom of the bottle.

Orochimaru handed the glass bottle to Uchiha Fugaku in public.

"Thank you, Lord Orochimaru." Uchiha Fugaku stood up and bowed slightly to express his gratitude.

"You're welcome, Fugaku-kun." Orochimaru nodded.
