Konoha: Namikaze Minato, Saved Kushina

After everyone left the office, Sarutobi Hiruzen came near the window.

From here, you can see the settlement of the Uchiha clan, which is still located in the center of Konoha Village today.

"Did the Uchiha clan do it?"

There was a doubt in his heart that the death of Sarutobi Asuma was done by the Uchiha clan.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen has no proof, his intuition tells him that Uchiha has something to do with it.

Just when his plan to encroach on the Uchiha clan failed, something happened to Sarutobi Asuma, which was too coincidental.

"Go ask Uchiha Fugaku to come."

Sarutobi Hiruzen ordered.

Hiding in the shadows, the ninja responsible for carrying out Hokage's order leaves immediately, notifying Uchiha Fugaku.

When Uchiha Fugaku knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen was looking for him, he immediately panicked.

"Did the Third Hokage already know?"

Uchiha Fugaku couldn't keep calm, actually since he killed Sarutobi Asuma, and then the evidence was still controlled by Uchiha Lingye, his heart didn't calm down.

"No, Third Hokage probably didn't know that I killed Sarutobi Asuma, otherwise he would have sent someone to arrest me."

"Got to see Third Hokage."

If you don't go, isn't that a guilty conscience?

Uchiha Fugaku tidied up his mood and went to meet Sarutobi Hiruzen. After seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen, Uchiha Fugaku tried his best to maintain his expression.

So as not to show the horse's feet.

"Fugaku, is Uchiha Lingye doing anything?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked Uchiha Fugaku.

He didn't suspect Uchiha Fugaku, he called Uchiha Fugaku over, mainly to ask about the movements of the Uchiha clan.

See if you can get some intel from Uchiha Fugaku.

"Action? I don't know."

Uchiha Fugaku shook his head.

"I suspect that Asuma's death has something to do with Uchiha Lingye, Fugaku, I want you to help me investigate."

Sarutobi Hiruzen reveals the purpose of calling Uchiha Fugaku.

Hearing this, Uchiha Fugaku breathed a sigh of relief, it really wasn't him who was exposed.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen has already suspected Uchiha Lingye, if he continues to investigate, will he be investigated?

Although he was nervous inside, he remained calm on the surface.

"Okay, I will help Master Hokage investigate, Asuma's death, please condolences Master Hokage.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was in a bad mood and solidified himself to die.

Even if Sarutobi Asuma is a rebellious boy, he doesn't want anything to happen to his son.

If he had known earlier, he should have assigned secret protection personnel around Asuma.

The main reason is that Sarutobi Hiruzen never thought that someone would dare to attack his son in Konoha Village, so he did not assign bodyguards to Sarutobi Asuma.

887 Uchiha Fugaku leaves nervously, Sarutobi Hiruzen sees nothing wrong.

After all Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking about who the murderer was, and he didn't suspect Uchiha Fugaku either.

"If it's really the Uchiha clan."

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned.

Even if the real culprit is found and it is determined to be the Uchiha family, it seems that they cannot do anything to the Uchiha family.

In other words, it is impossible to make a move on the bright side.

Unless there is absolute proof, but if it was really done by the Uchiha family, is it possible for them to leave evidence?

"Master Hokage, there is new information."

"What information?" Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately stood up.

The other party was sent by him to investigate the murderer who killed Sarutobi Asuma. Now there is new information, which must be related to the murderer.

"Someone confessed to killing Sarutobi Asuma."

"who?"

Volunteer to admit it? Sarutobi Hiruzen suspects that the other party is responsible, and Wei will voluntarily admit it.

"Ito Reiko, codenamed Blood Fox in Anbu, she has wounded two guards and left Konoha Village, saying that she killed Sarutobi Asuma to avenge you for revenge for her companions.

Ito Reiko, codenamed Blood Fox, the name Sarutobi Hiruzen is of course familiar.

She was among the three Elite Jōnin sent out earlier to carry out the plan to weaken Uchiha's power.

"She didn't die, Yuanran survived.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was extremely angry, and soon, Sarutobi Hiruzen calmed down.

"Ito Reiko survived, did she escape by herself, or did she fall into the hands of the Uchiha clan?"

"What did she say besides admitting that she killed Asuma?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked hastily.

"She...she said Master Hokage asked her to deal with Uchiha, causing her companions to die miserably, and then took revenge on you."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face darkened when he heard his subordinate finished speaking.

"Send Anbu immediately to get rid of the traitor Ito Reiko."

In Sarutobi Hiruzen's anger, he also felt trouble.

Reiko Ito announced the tasks he assigned and the matter of dealing with Uchiha, and the impact of this incident.

Sarutobi Hiruzen clenched his fists, the most important thing now was to kill Reiko Ito.

"Touch~!"

At this moment, the door was kicked open.

Seeing the door of his office being kicked open, Sarutobi Hiruzen was furious, and Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was already angry, almost couldn't restrain himself.

Kicking his door open was the equivalent of kicking him in the face.

Seeing the person who kicked open the door and walked in, Sarutobi Hiruzen's face became even colder.

"Third Hokage, you sent someone to assassinate our Uchiha clan. Will you give me an explanation for this matter?"

That's right, it was Uchiha Lingye who kicked the door in.

"My Uchiha clan has worked hard and made great contributions to Konoha Village. I didn't expect Third Hokage to stab me in the back."

"It's a fake, it's Reiko Ito's slander, the purpose is to destroy the unity within our Konoha Village, according to our Anbu investigation, she is an undercover agent of the enemy village.

Sarutobi Hiruzen restrained his anger and said to Uchiha Lingye.

Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Uchiha Lingye wanted to applaud him.

As expected of Hokage, this brain is so fast that he is shameless, and in a few words, he will label Ito Reiko as another Ninja village undercover.

"Oh, it turned out to be an undercover agent. I said, how could Third Hokage do such a thing."

Lingye suppressed the anger on her face, as if she really believed Sarutobi Hiruzen's words.

"Then I don't know if Hokage can investigate it. Which village is she an undercover agent?"

"Sunagakure."

Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke nonsense with his eyes open, and made Sunagakure take the blame without hesitation.

"It turned out to be Sunagakure. Then I suggest that Third Hokage go to war against Sunagakure. Today he dares to provoke the relationship between me, Uchiha and Hokage. Tomorrow he dares to provoke the relationship between all Konoha families and Hokage. The day after tomorrow, he will not be able to go to the moon."

"Sunagakure wolf ambition, must be eradicated.

Lingye pulled a chair and sat in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen with a very serious face.

Sarutobi Hiruzen listened to Uchiha Lingye's words, he didn't know if Uchiha Lingye's words were serious.

But let Sunagakure take the blame, if you start a war with Sunagakure, that is of course impossible.

Let's not say it's fake, even if it's true, you can't just start a war with other ninja villages.

"How does Hokage feel about my proposal?" Lingye asked Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Lingye, less than five years have passed since the Second Ninja World War. We cannot start the war easily, but I will question Sunagakure as Hokage."

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Uchiha Lingye, and said.

"Then who will make up for the losses suffered by my Uchiha clan?"

There was dissatisfaction in Lingye's eyes.

"Well, the loss of the Uchiha clan will be made up by Konoha Village."

"Okay, when I go back, I'll count the losses. Since this incident was just Sunagakure's instigation and has nothing to do with Hokage, then I will leave.

After speaking, Lingye stood up, bid farewell to Sarutobi Hiruzen and left.

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, Uchiha Lingye left just like that? Did he really believe what he said?

"Assemble Anbu, we must get rid of Reiko Ito."

After the order, Sarutobi Hiruzen intends to have someone forge a piece of evidence that Reiko Ito was Sunagakure's undercover agent.

This is related to whether he can maintain his image.

On Uchiha Lingye's side, he also had to be on guard. He really didn't know what Uchiha Lingye's behavior of loud thunder and little rain meant.

Is it just a matter of compensation?

"Did Reiko Ito really kill Asuma?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen ponders this question again.

It seems that whether it is true or not, it is best to let Reiko Ito take the blame.

"Asuma, I will investigate the real murderer and avenge you in the future."

He suspects it is Uchiha, but if the overall situation is the most important, he can't do anything to Uchiha, so now he can only regard Ito Reiko as the real murderer.

On the other side, the Uchiha clan land.

Lingye didn't actually go to Hokage's office at all, she went to Lingye's Shadow Clone.

"Ito Reiko is really unlucky, she has become Sunagakure's traitor."

Lingye smiled, then looked at Uchiha Iron Tree, and Uchiha(cgeb) Fugaku who was called over.

"Fugaku, you are the pillar of our Uchiha."

Hearing this sentence, Uchiha Fugaku shuddered inexplicably. Last time when Uchiha Lingye said that he was a pillar, he was given a mission to assassinate the son of Third Hokage.

Hearing this compliment again this time, Uchiha Fugaku instinctively felt something was wrong.

"Right now, there is a difficult task for you, Fugaku, to complete."

Hearing that there was another mission, Uchiha Fugaku showed a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Please ask the patriarch to order."

Now he has no way to refuse Uchiha Lingye, the biggest handle is still in Uchiha Lingye's hands.

Instead of agreeing after being threatened, it is better to agree directly.

"Sarutobi Hiruzen is extremely hateful, trying to deal with us Uchiha, I don't think it's good enough to kill only one of Sarutobi Hiruzen's sons Sarutobi Shinnosuke has left Konoha Village."

"The plan to get rid of Sarutobi Shinnosuke is entrusted to you, and I will let Uchiha Iron Tree assist you.

While Lingye's Shadow Clone is going to Hokage's office.

After he sent someone to deliver the news, the Sarutobi clan, Sarutobi Shinnosuke already knew that Ito Reiko had admitted to killing Sarutobi Asuma.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke, who wanted to avenge his younger brother, immediately took a few ninjas from the Sarutobi clan to hunt down Reiko Ito, the traitor.

The reason why Lingye sent Shadow Clone to Hokage's office was also to prevent Sarutobi Hiruzen from calling him back after knowing that Sarutobi Shinnosuke was going to hunt down and kill Ito Reiko.

When Lingye's Shadow Clone came out of Hokage's office, Sarutobi Shinnosuke had already left Konoha Village.

Uchiha Fugaku heard the task explained by Uchiha Lingye, his expression was numb.

"This mission, Fugaku, are you okay?"

"no problem."

Can he have a problem, even if there is a problem that Uchiha Lingye grabs, he has to do it.

Otherwise, if Third Hokage knows that Sarutobi Asuma was killed by him, Sarutobi Hiruzen will definitely kill him.

"Iron Tree, you just follow Fugaku and make sure the plan is perfect."

Lingye instructed Uchiha Iron Tree.

"Yes, Patriarch, I will definitely screw the heads of the Sarutobi clan out."

Thinking of Sarutobi Hiruzen's vain attempt to kill their Uchiha clan, Uchiha Iron Tree couldn't help but murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

After the two left, Lingye smiled.

"Uchiha Fugaku is a good knife."

"If two sons die, Sarutobi Hiruzen, can you still sit still?"

If Sarutobi Shinnosuke also dies, it is impossible for his grandson Sarutobi Konohamaru to be born, then Sarutobi Hiruzen will be extinct unless he can have another one.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is in his 40s and 50s, can he still have children?

"The Sarutobi clan has an old thing."

Lingye knocked on the table, Sarutobi Hiruzen's father is still alive.

His father's name is Sarutobi Sasuke. In the original book, Uchiha Fugaku hoped that his son could become a strong and great ninja like Sarutobi Sasuke, so he named his son Uchiha Sasuke.

Well, I don't know if Sarutobi Hiruzen will have complicated thoughts when he looks at Uchiha Sasuke's name.

Sarutobi Sasuke died on the eve of the third Ninja World War, and it is still earlier than the third Ninja World War in the original work, so Sarutobi Sasuke is still alive.

But since Sarutobi Hiruzen became Hokage, he hasn't been seen for a long time.

Sarutobi Sasuke, Senju Hashirama, and Uchiha Madara belong to the same generation, and they are at least seventy years old now.

"If both grandchildren are dead, will Sarutobi Sasuke show up?"

Of course, even if he showed up, it wouldn't be enough to scare Lingye, Sarutobi Sasuke didn't have that ability yet.

He is not Uchiha Madara. Although Uchiha Madara is old, Uchiha Madara is someone who can really pose some threats to Lingye.

Sarutobi Sasuke, who brought him back to his prime, could not threaten Lingye either.

The old guy who is about to go to the ground, it's okay to wait for death honestly, if he really comes out, just let him go to the ground in advance.

For ninjas, it's not that the older they get, the stronger they become. The older they get, the weaker their bodies will be, and their physical functions will seriously decline.

After Ito Reiko left Konoha Village, she fled at an unhurried speed, and even deliberately left traces on the way.

This is Uchiha Lingye's order. Although she is unwilling to obey, she has the Flying Thunder God spell on her body.

There is even poison from the Uchiha clan, and she has to follow the orders of Uchiha Lingye.

Because the speed was not fast, he was caught up in less than half a day.

"You killed my brother Asuma?"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke didn't wear Anbu's mask, he stared at Ito Reiko with anger and killing intent in his eyes.

When she saw Sarutobi Shinnosuke, Reiko Ito guessed what Uchiha Lingye was planning.

Looking at the angry Sarutobi Shinnosuke, Ireiko showed a mocking and sympathetic expression.

"When you die, go and ask your brother Sarutobi Asuma how he died.

Reiko Ito looked at Sarutobi Shinnosuke's eyes as if she was looking at a dead person.

"Surrounded by us, you still dare to be arrogant."

A Sarutobi tribe looked at Reiko Ito angrily.

Surrounded by them, they dare to be arrogant.

"You don't think you can escape from us do you?" said another Sarutobi.

There are two people brought here by Sarutobi Shinnosuke, but both of them are Elite Jōnin.

With the addition of Sarutobi Shinnosuke, the three of them will fight against one Elite Jōnin, and I can't figure out why Yi Lingzi dares to be arrogant.

"Do you think I'm alone?"

Reiko Ito took two steps back, and then saw two figures appearing behind her.

These two people are none other than Uchiha Iron Tree and Uchiha Fugaku.

"You did very well."

Uchiha Iron Tree praised Ito Reiko.

"Can you give me the antidote?" Ito Reiko asked Uchiha Iron Tree.

If she hadn't been left with the Flying Thunder God spell and ate the special poison made by the Uchiha clan, she would never have been obedient.

"The antidote can be given to you, but you have to help us get rid of them."

Uchiha Iron Tree pointed to Sarutobi Shinnosuke and the others.

"The Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku."

When he saw Uchiha Iron Tree and Uchiha Fugaku, he didn't know that he had fallen into a trap. No wonder Reiko Ito was so confident.

It's just that he doesn't understand why Uchiha Fugaku will come. Didn't he choose to join his father?
