Konoha's Wooden Reappearance

What happened to the root was quickly reported to Danzo by the root ninja.

Danzo rushed to the scene of the incident, and looked at the laboratory that was already in a mess, with a gloomy face that was about to drip.

His heart was about to bleed, and Hashirama's cells were nothing. The key was the Mangekyō Sharingan, which was a treasure he had treasured for many years.

"You are saying that Orochimaru sneaked in here and stole the items stored in the safe and the Sharingan."

"Yes, Lord Danzo, the last medical ninja told us before he died that it was indeed Orochimaru. Orochimaru said he would come again."

"Have you found out how he sneaked in?"

"Ding, who is in charge of the root barrier, said that in the morning, there were some slight fluctuations in one barrier, and then this happened.

Therefore, my subordinates speculated that Orochimaru must have destroyed the barrier we arranged underground and sneaked in from underground.

Only he has the ability to find this place so accurately.At the same time, I also knew that Danzo-sama was not at the root at that time. "

After listening to his subordinates' analysis, Danzo was convinced at that time.

"Orochimaru, you are going to take revenge on me. I will remember it."

The reason why he believed that Orochimaru came back to take revenge on him was because when Orochimaru defected and left Konoha, the person who stabbed him the most was Danzo.

According to Orochimaru's character, it is indeed possible for him to do such a thing. The most important thing is that he has the ability to sneak in.

"Since it was discovered at that time, why were no emergency measures taken?"

"At that time, I sent ninjas to check the area. The barrier was intact and there was no problem, so I thought it was an illusion."

After hearing this, Danzo really wanted to kill all the ninjas responsible for the sealing barrier and perception, but he just thought about it.

In order to train those ninjas who understand the sealing barrier and perception, he spent a lot of effort, and it was not easy to reach the current scale. If they were all executed, who would maintain the barrier.

Without this barrier, wouldn't the roots become a place where anyone can come if they want to?

Danzo still clearly remembers White Zetsu's abilities.

"If the notice continues, all departments at the root must be more vigilant in the future and the barriers must be reset. I don't want this kind of thing to happen again."

Danzo still had the same gloomy expression, and his tone was as majestic as ever, but there was a bit more murderous intent in it.

Somewhere in Konoha Village.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, all the elders of the Hyuga clan gathered in the clan meeting hall to discuss the decisions made at the village meeting in the morning.

"This morning, I went to attend a high-level meeting held in the village. The whole meeting was..."

The great elder of the Hyuga clan, who attended the high-level meeting on behalf of the Hyuga clan leader, informed the participating Hyuga Hizashi and other elders about the entire meeting.

"Damn it, it was obviously because of the poor surveillance of the Hokage Anbu that the Kumo ninja escaped and infiltrated our Hyuga family with the intention of kidnapping the heir of our clan.

Isn't it right for the clan leader to kill him? Is there anything wrong in doing so? Why should our clan bear the consequences now? "

A younger Hyuga elder spoke angrily after listening to the elder's introduction.

"The Third Hokage did not make it clear at the meeting that he would agree to the unreasonable demands of the Cloud Ninja Village. He was only seeking the opinions of other clan leaders in the village on this matter."

"Hmph, if the village's senior officials really want to refuse this kind of thing, they will hold a meeting to ask other families for their opinions. Have the senior officials already made up their minds and prepared to sacrifice our Hyuga family?"

Another elder said with a sneer from the side. His speech made everyone in the meeting frown, and they obviously understood the key.

For a time, the crowd was excited and full of resentment towards the village's senior officials. Naturally, their words were not so respectful.

"Okay, now is not the time to complain. We must discuss a solution. There is not much time left for us in the village."

The second elder, who was second only to the first elder, saw that the scene was starting to become chaotic and stopped him.

"What else can we do? Anyway, I don't agree to sacrifice the leader of our clan to gain peace. I don't think the village dares to do anything to us."

"Brother, what are your plans?"

Hizashi saw that Hizashi was sitting in the main seat without saying a word. He didn't know his brother's true thoughts, so he asked aloud.

"If the village has really made up its mind, I can sacrifice my life for the clan and the village. This is also my responsibility as the leader of the Hyuga clan."

Seeing the eyes of the others looking over, Rizu pondered for a while, organized his words, and spoke slowly.

"Hizu-sama..."

"Everyone, please don't show that expression. As the leader of the clan, you should stand up at this time. The most important thing is to protect the entire family.

From now on, the family will be entrusted to everyone. No matter what, please ensure the survival of the Hyuga clan. "

As Rizu spoke, he stood up and bowed solemnly to the rest of the people present.

"Lord Patriarch..."

"Brother, there is actually another way."

"Hizashi, what else can I do?"

"Brother, as the clan leader, you can't cause any problems, especially when Hinata-sama is not able to inherit the clan yet.

The only way is for me to die for my brother.With my own life, I can exchange for the peace of my family and the village. "

"Hizashi, I don't allow you to say that, and I don't allow you to do that. I don't need you to take on my responsibilities for me.

As an older brother, I cannot watch my brother die.As the leader of the tribe, I will not allow any tribesman to waste his life because of me. "

"Rizhao replaces Rizu. This is also a way. As a branch family, we should protect the clan family. This is also the responsibility of the branch family."

"Yes, the Hyuga clan cannot leave the clan leader at this time."

"..."

It was in this atmosphere that the Hyuga clan's clan meeting broke up unhappy.

Obviously Hinata Hizatsu still can't accept that his brother will die on his behalf. Maybe he still has some expectations for the third generation and other senior officials.

Mizuma originally thought that this matter would have nothing to do with him and that he only needed to carry out the task step by step. Unexpectedly, he was still found.

"Master Mizama, please come with us right away. The Hokage wants to see you."

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, after Minama finished his surveillance mission for the day, he just returned home and rested for a while when the ANBU of the Third Hokage came to his door.

"Fortunately, the main body came back just now, otherwise we would be in trouble today."

"Okay, where is it? Take me there."

After saying that, he followed the ANBU and quickly rushed to the meeting place, not at the Hokage's office, but at the Hokage Rock.

"Mizama, you are here"

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood on the top of the rock, staring at the village below. After noticing Mizama's arrival, he asked aloud.

"Hokage-sama, why are you looking for me?"

Minama walked to Sarutobi Hiruzen's side, and the two stood side by side, staring at the village below.

"It's nothing serious. I just want to talk to you. You're not even willing to chat with me, an old man, for a while."

Mizunama really wanted to say, just stay wherever it's cool, but he didn't dare.

"Of course not, as long as it doesn't disturb Hokage-sama."

"Every time I see this village from here, I feel deeply. Mizama, what do you think of the current situation of this village?"

"Although we have regained some strength in the past three years, there are still many problems, and it is difficult to solve them all in a short period of time."

"Yes, you are still so sharp. You should take a look at this first."

After saying that, he handed a few pieces of information to Mizama.I passed the water bottle but had no intention of looking through it.

"what is this"

"Minutes of this morning's high-level meeting."

"This is a village secret. I have no right to watch it. Besides, even if I don't watch it, I probably know the outcome of the meeting."

"I've thought about it, so tell me what you think about this matter."

"I'm not a senior member of the village. I'm afraid I shouldn't be the one to say these things."

"You are also part of the village, so it doesn't hurt to talk."

"Okay, then let me tell you my own views on this matter. I don't particularly understand the specific situation of the village, but I think if you have the capital, I'm afraid the Hokage doesn't want to compromise.

I'm afraid other ethnic groups in the village don't want to fight this war. First of all, they also suffered heavy losses in the previous Third Ninja War and the Nine-Tails Rebellion.The second thing is that they are still lucky and think that war can be avoided by handing over the Rizu clan leader.

I'm afraid that things will backfire in the end, and Yun Ninja Village will make further progress because of this.

In fact, the reason why Lord Hokage compromised was because he didn't want to give the Cloud Ninja Village an excuse and wanted to continue trying to strive for peace.

There is also a more important reason, that is, I want to use the life of the Rizu clan leader to warn those who are lucky that the other party will not give in because of your compromise.

In this way, when the two villages really start fighting, they will contribute.

In fact, even if Konoha rejects Kumo Shinobi's unreasonable demands, war may not break out.

First of all, due to the death of the Third Raikage, the Iwa Ninja and Kumo Ninja were unable to make peace in a short time, leaving the Sand Ninja Village in a state of uncertainty.

The biggest variable is Kirigakure Village, but they are now closed to the country. It seems that they are internally unstable and turbulent. They probably don't have the energy to get involved in these things.

Therefore, even if there is a war, Konoha will only face Kumo ninja, and Sand Ninja Village may not dare to attack Konoha.

Even the Cloud Ninja Village may not dare to put all their efforts. After all, the nearby Iwa Ninja Village has always been eyeing them. If they get the opportunity, they may take a bite out of the Cloud Ninja. "

"It seems that in the past few years, you have not only grown in strength, but your thinking has also become more mature than before.

Your idea coincides with Shikaku's analysis, so as long as Nizu is handed over, it is very likely that the two countries will actually sign a peace treaty.

Although this is humiliating, it can buy the time that Konoha needs most now. . "

"But this will require the Hyuga clan, who are already the victims, to make sacrifices. It will also make the other clans in the village miserable, further increasing their centrifugal force against the village."

"Hey, there is nothing we can do about it. Only by giving up can we gain. No one is willing to fight this battle, so we can only compromise first.

If Yun Ninja Village is still not satisfied with this, then they can only meet Zhenzhang on the battlefield. "

After listening to Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Mizama was noncommittal, because the high-level considerations also made sense.

"Mizama, have you ever thought about becoming Hokage in the future?"

"I have thought about it. I have grown up in this village since I was a child. This is the village that my parents have tried their best to protect. Naturally, I have thought about becoming Hokage one day and using my own power to protect the village."

"It can be seen that you really want to protect this village. You have completed the previous tasks very well, so work hard in the future.

I think if you want to be Hokage, you can definitely do it, and Minato and Kushina will also be very happy. "

"Hokage-sama, after this incident is over, I want to take Naruto home and raise him personally."

"You've already thought about it"

"Well, it's not a problem that he has been in the orphanage. He still has to be in the village and cultivate the bond with the village from an early age.

Besides, what happened this time also gave me a wake-up call. "

"What did you think of"

"These Anbu in the village simply don't have enough strength to protect Naruto's safety. Only by putting him under my nose can I feel at ease."

"I agree to this matter. But I'm afraid the other three senior executives won't agree so easily.

After this matter is over, you can come back to me and I will mediate. "

"Thank you, Hokage-sama, I have another problem for you."

"We are all here for the village, don't be so polite."

"..."
