Hyuga sent Hinata to be my fiancée

"I understand, Fatty. I understand. Then I'll say it first."

Qu Feng nodded in agreement, expressing his understanding:

"First of all, I want to clarify that I don't know the specific development of the Root in recent years, Fatty, and I don't know what Danzo is doing. What I know is limited, and this matter has nothing to do with me."

No one would be stupid enough to take the blame for something that didn't happen in the first place.

Qiu Dao Qufeng is not a fool, otherwise he would not have chosen to retire so early and enjoy his retirement at home.

He eats and drinks all day long without any worries, and is already content to be able to protect the three families of Pig, Deer and Butterfly. As for the others, he can't care and is too lazy to care.

The Third Hokage listened quietly.

Qu Feng continued:

"The other party's purpose is very clear, they are going to target Danzo, or even Konoha, or the entire Land of Fire. You might as well start from here."

"Targeting Danzo?"

The Third Hokage frowned slightly.

It's not that he hadn't thought about these things, but Danzo had offended a lot of people in the village. Except for the Uchiha who hated Danzo the most, all the big and small families had a negative impression of Danzo, especially the families that Danzo had come to demand the release of.

The Third Hokage knew all about these things, but he just didn't intervene.

"Let's start by doing the process of elimination, starting with the Uchiha... um."

Speaking of Uchiha, Qufeng's chubby face was full of embarrassment:

"Ahem, let's not talk about the Uchiha. They know too few secrets. It's unlikely to be them."

"........"

Knowing that you're still saying this?

On the surface, it seems that the Uchiha people are eager to kill Danzo, but unfortunately the Uchiha people know too few secrets, so it is impossible that they are the ones.

Whoever it was would have taken the initiative to cross Uchiha off as a suspect.

Then we will check for other suspects.

The result was that after checking everything, even Pig, Deer and Butterfly became suspects, and Qiu Daoqufeng had a look of shock on his face.

How come they got me, the fat guy, involved in all the twists and turns?

"Huruzen, take your time investigating on your own. I can't do it anymore, Fatty."

In the end, Qufeng chose to lie down. You can investigate however you want. It has nothing to do with Fatty, or Zhu, Lu, or Die.

Although Danzo also troubled the Ino, Deer, and Chou families.

The people of Ino-Shika-Chou don't like Danzo either.

There was no need to bother Danzo over such a small matter. Besides, there were very few people in the entire Ino-Shika-Chou who knew the secrets of this intelligence.

No one looked like a suspect.

After struggling for most of the night, the Third Hokage finally left in disappointment.

"Qu Feng, how is the situation?"

As soon as the Third Hokage left, Nara Shikashin, the chief brain of the Ino, Shika and Chou families, arrived.

"Leaving, there is no result. Everyone has problems, but no one can do such a thing."

Qu Feng rolled his eyes.

"You've come at the right time. Please analyze and decide who is the most suspicious."

You think I'm God.

Lu Xin was speechless and looked at the greasy table with disdain:

"It's just like what you said. The one with the greatest suspicion is the least likely. The others are all suspects, but there is no evidence to prove them. I'm afraid this matter will not have any result."

As long as there is no evidence, the Third Hokage will choose to give up even if it means turning Konoha upside down.

At most I can make a note of this and pay more attention to it next time.

Compared to catching the traitor, the situation outside deserves more attention.

"You're right, Danzo might even be ready to kill someone."

Qu Feng laughed loudly and said, "What he cares about most is power, but in the end he lost it all."

I don't laugh, I can't laugh.

Lu Xin was extremely happy inside, but appeared indifferent on the surface, as if this matter was not worth his emotional fluctuations.

In fact, he was very happy to see Danzo in trouble.

When he thought of Danzo running to Ino-Shika-Chou to ask for people, he felt so angry that his teeth were itching.

He wanted people from the Nara clan to be his staff, people from the Yamanaka clan to be his interrogators, and...

In short, I really want to kill him.

Ino-Shika-Chou was no exception. The Third Hokage visited all the suspicious families, even the families behind Utatane Koharu and Mito Kado En could not escape.

The two advisory elders did not have much objection to this.

If it were them, they would probably be more anxious.

The Third Hokage did not take a one-size-fits-all approach, but instead visited and asked each of them one by one, which was already considered giving enough face.

As Nara Shikashin said, the result of this matter was no result.

In the end, the Third Hokage chose to give up the idea of ​​investigating and catching the traitor, and focused on dealing with the chaos outside.

The joint questioning by the daimyos of various countries is much more serious than the questioning from other villages. If Konoha is not careful, it will become the first village to offend all the daimyos.

At that time, the development of the entire Konoha, both economically and militarily, would be strangled.

If it really comes to this, Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, will no longer need to be the Third Hokage and can just retire and go home to retire.

"damn it!"

Given the Third Hokage's personality, it was rare for him to lose his temper and swear like this, but he couldn't help it.

Not to mention swearing, the Third Hokage slammed the message scroll in his hand heavily on the desk, and his gradually aging face turned red.

Utane Koharu and Mitokado En, who were sitting nearby, looked at the furious Third Hokage and sighed slightly.

Ever since this incident broke out, the Third Hokage's control over his emotions has become increasingly weak.

He realized that he had lost his composure, which was not good. As the leader of the Konoha Village, the Hokage needed to remain calm and deal with any situation, and not get angry because of personal emotions.

Taking a deep breath, the Third Hokage gradually calmed down his anger.

"There is news from the Daimyo's Mansion. The Daimyo wants to invite Daimyo from various countries to attend a party in the Daimyo's Mansion. Konoha needs to send ninja troops to protect them."

There are one or two such gatherings every year.

Logically speaking, the Third Hokage should have been used to it long ago.

The original reason why he was angry was that in the past he was the one who mobilized people to go to the Daimyo Prefecture, but this time, the Daimyo clearly did not trust him and specifically asked Uchiha to dispatch a team from the Police Department to the Daimyo Prefecture.

"The Daimyo doesn't trust us. He specifically asked the Uchiha people to go over and take on the protection work."

"......"

No wonder you're so angry.

Utane Koharu sighed:

"In the past, such tasks were assigned directly by the Hokage Office Building. I didn't expect that this year... Alas~~"

The situation was beyond human control. In order to stabilize the Daimyo, Konoha had no choice but to continue to retreat.

"Then this year's party......."

Mizuto Menyan seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

They don't want the Uchiha to be involved in this kind of thing all the time, otherwise, it would be easy for the daimyo to side with the Uchiha and stand up for them, while the Uchiha would secretly support the daimyo.

This situation must never be allowed to happen.

However, the daimyo refused to give them money, which choked them and forced them to bow their heads and retreat.
