Konoha Steady King

Facing Uchiha Shinichi's pretending to be stupid, Sarutobi Hiruzen was filled with hatred, but he had no choice but to say sadly: "Hatake Sakumo is dead."

"Nani? Hatake Sakumo, the famous strong man in Konohagakure Ninja Village, is dead? Who did this, Mr. Third? We will cut him into pieces even if we dig three feet into the ground!"

A look of grief appeared on Uchiha Shinichi's face, and then he gritted his teeth and vowed to find the murderer and avenge Hatake Sakumo, but his eyes were staring blankly at Shimura Danzo who was standing next to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Regardless of whether Danzo Shimura did it or not, it is right to put the blame on him. After all, one of the important functions of the root is to take the blame.From the death of a daimyo to the disappearance of a sow in the village, it is definitely his fault.

In fact, Uchiha Shinichi's actions seemed a bit redundant. The heads of the large and small organizations present turned their attention to Shimura Danzo as soon as Sarutobi Hiruzen told the bad news.

Danzo Shimura snorted coldly and said, "What do you want me to do? I have been resting at home tonight and haven't gone anywhere."

The Hyuga clan clan leader with white eyes in his eyes took a step forward, made a seal and saluted, and said: "With Hatake-sama's strength, it is impossible for anyone to kill him silently. We all know this, but what I want to ask is Yes, why did Hatake-sama commit suicide?"

"The ninja's heart is extremely tough. Unless they encounter inhuman torture, who would choose to commit suicide?"

The words of the Hyuga clan caused many ninjas to whisper in agreement, and they all thought that someone forced Hatake Sakumo to death, but who...no one dared to say.

The Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan rarely joined forces to attack, not only to seek justice, but also to benefit their own interests.With Hatake Sakumo's strength, military exploits and status, he would be forced to death by his superiors. Who among all the people present dared to pat their chests and guarantee that such a thing would not happen to them in the future?

Although Hatake Sakumo is dead, it does not mean that this matter is over. Everyone needs the high-level statements and commitments to ensure that this matter will not happen in the village next.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had already expected this. Everyone was a smart person. This kind of naked conspiracy worked well once, but if it was used again, he would treat people as fools, so he immediately expressed his stance.

"Hatake Sakumo's death was caused by bad comments caused by the failure of the mission. The village will investigate this strictly."

"Danzo, send the root ninjas to arrest everyone in the village who spreads rumors and blockade the entire street."

Uchiha Shinichi was stunned for a moment. This was originally the responsibility of the Security Department, but now it was assigned to the root. He couldn't help but said: "Sandaime-sama, is there something wrong with this?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at him and said: "The security department is responsible for going to the capital to report this situation to the daimyo, and at the same time express strong protest on behalf of the village."

"After all, you are all nobles, so it's easier to communicate."

Uchiha really opened his mouth, wanting to say something to retort, but couldn't.

He really couldn't say that the Uchiha clan had been a proper noble since the Warring States Period. Not only that, in terms of blood relationship, the contemporary daimyo was indeed related to him by blood, but that was a marriage concluded decades ago. , has long since lost its effect.

This is one of the important reasons why the Uchiha clan really wants to enter the decision-making level. They can have someone to help them when encountering problems, instead of just following orders and obeying them like they are now.

Seeing that Uchiha Shinichi acquiesced to the arrangement without saying a word, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded with satisfaction, and then he was in a dilemma.

Although Hatake Sakumo was said to be dead, his body was extremely important, and Shimura Danzo expressed his intention to obtain it more than once.

The corpse of a shadow-level powerhouse, and one whose brain was not damaged, was of great research value.Regardless of everything else, its rich reserves of ninjutsu alone are a huge treasure.The Hatake clan has no blood heirs, and its members have no special talents. However, Hatake Sakumo is one of the few strong men in the village. The mystery behind this is very exciting.

After hesitating for a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen decided to ask other people's opinions to see their attitudes.After looking around, he asked by name: "Nara Luxian, please tell me about the burial."

After being named, Nara Shikken's expression changed and he immediately returned to normal. After making a seal and saluting, he said: "I believe that Hatake-sama has made outstanding contributions to the village and the Fire Country, and deserves a grand burial."

"We should choose a day for the event, summon all the jounin in the village who have no missions, and ask the daimyo to send important ministers to participate. The funeral must be extremely grand."

After seeing everyone nodding in agreement, Nara Shikken continued: "As for Hatake-sama's body, I suggest that it be temporarily stored in the Hokage Building to facilitate the condolences of the villagers."

There is no problem with the first part, but there is a big problem with the latter part. It is very inappropriate to put Hatake Sakumo's body in the Hokage building. Otherwise, what are they doing here? They can just wait in the Hokage's office.

Uchiha Shinichi immediately looked at the expressions of everyone behind him, and then said: "As for the preservation of the body, I think it is most suitable to place it in the Hatake clan's clan. After all, the Hatake clan still has bloodline, and it is not a true successor. People."

For family ninjas, the continuation of the bloodline is more important than anything else.After Hatake Sakumo died, Hatake Kakashi, as his only son and the only surviving male of the Hatake clan, naturally became the clan leader.Although this clan leader exists in name only, the clan leader is the clan leader and can enjoy all the political and cultivation resources of the Hatake clan, and no one has the right to deprive them of them.

From a superficial point of view, the placement of the corpse was harmless. After all, Hatake Sakumo was a ninja of the Konoha Ninja Village during his lifetime. There was nothing wrong with leaving the corpse in the Hokage Building except for exposing the secret of the corpse.But the Hatake clan is still there and Kakashi is still alive, so that won't work.

Putting it in the Hokage Building and enjoying the condolences of the villagers can only prove that Hatake Sakumo is a meritorious ninja of Konoha Village, but putting it in the place of the Hatake Clan to express condolences can prove that the family is still there, which has a completely different meaning.

This is also an important reason why so many families are willing to follow Uchiha Shinichi. The resources owned by the family were given by the first Hokage when the village was founded. As long as there is an heir in the family, no matter how poor the village is, they cannot take it back.

This is the bottom line for the ninja family to survive, and it is also one of the reasons why they are willing to fight for the village.

Moreover, the corpses of the family ninjas hide huge secrets. No one hopes that one day they will be completely cracked, not even the village.

Seeing that everyone was opposed to Nara Shikken's proposal, Danzo Shimura snorted, but said nothing, simply expressing his displeasure.

Unable to get offended by public anger, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately rejected Nara Shikken's suggestion and adopted Uchiha Shinichi's suggestion.

At this time, it was already dark, and occasionally the sound of a rooster crowing could be heard, and everyone dispersed with satisfaction.

Shimura Danzo walked to the opposite side of Hayama with a gloomy face and stared into his eyes for a long time.

"The Uchiha clan can protect you for a while, but they cannot protect you for a lifetime. The days are still long."

Hayama didn't care at all about what Shimura Danzo said and said with a smile: "Based on age, I will definitely live longer than you."

Shimura Danzo's face was terrifyingly dark, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, and he left without looking back.
