Chapter 16: Kidnapped Again
Three days later.
It was raining heavily.
The people on the street were bustling about, with hurried looks on their faces.
The vendors on the street looked strange and no longer talked and laughed with each other as before.
Because the Uchiha clan, which has been gaining popularity recently, the bodies that were transported back were hijacked.
In the Hokage's office, Hiruzen's face was so gloomy that it looked like water was dripping out of it.
He slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Danzo! Are you crazy? It hasn't been long since the last incident, and you have taken away the bodies of the Uchiha clan again. Do you have to force them to make a fuss before you will stop?"
Danzo in front of him had a stern face and felt very aggrieved.
"Monkey, this time it really wasn't me who did it."
"Who else could it be but you! You are really amazing. You actually hid a subordinate who can use Qizhenglouge. After this matter is over, you send him to the Anbu for me!"
"I don't have such a thing! Steaming Tower is the trick of the Mizukage. Where can I find someone for you?"
The more Danzo thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.
It would be fine if he really did it, but it has nothing to do with him, and none of his subordinates could do this.
That was a team guarded by several Uchiha jonin, but he defeated them all with just one man. With subordinates like him, he would have forced the emperor to become Hokage long ago.
Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't believe Danzo.
He knew his old friend very well, and there was nothing he dared not do: "If the Uchiha comes this time, you will be responsible for all the compensation you ask for!"
"What? Monkey, you don't believe me? If I were to say that the Uchiha clan is harboring evil intentions, they actually hid a ninja who is more talented than Shisui in the clan. If it weren't for this accident, he would not have been exposed. What do they want to do?"
"Why don't we just take this opportunity to take them down in one fell swoop..."
"Shut up!" Hiruzen scolded, rubbing his brows.
He felt very tired of this old friend who kept talking about destroying the Uchiha.
If he could take action, would he just let it go?
The Uchiha's reputation today is no longer what it was before. Everyone in Konoha Village knows about the Uchiha's heroic sacrifices on the battlefield and their loyalty to the village.
If we take action against the Uchiha clan, we will immediately incur public outrage.
Hiruzen hadn't figured out how to deal with this matter yet.
This time the Uchiha clan will definitely not be as easy to deal with as last time. Do they really have to hand over Danzo?
Hiruzen hesitated.
This is his brother who has been with him since childhood and is as close as a brother.
"Shimura Danzo! Get out here!"
At this moment, outside the Hokage Building.
A powerful voice sounded, and the anger contained in it could be clearly felt even through a wall.
Hiruzen's expression changed.
He originally thought that the Uchiha clan would still discuss it in private like last time, but he didn't expect that they would actually start a quarrel in public.
"Danzo, you old dog! Last time you kidnapped the corpses of my Uchiha clan for human experiments, we didn't investigate further. Do you really think that our Uchiha clan is easy to bully?"
"Get out of here now, I know you are in there, if you have the guts to steal the corpse, then get out now!"
Hearing the various shouting and cursing from the Uchiha clan outside, the third generation quickly dodged and came outside.
Members of the Uchiha clan stood in the street in a mighty procession.
The leader was none other than Uchiha Fugaku, with Uchiha Setsuna and a very young-looking Uchiha standing on his left and right.
Uchiha Inahiri and others could only stand behind this young man.
Hiruzen glanced at the young Uchiha for a moment longer.
"Is this Uchiha Shin? The genius who has been hidden by the Uchiha for ten years." Hiruzen murmured to himself.
A few days ago, he had no access to any news about Uchiha Shin.
It was as if he appeared out of thin air, activating three magatama and first-rate fire escape technique.
Rescued the Uchiha clan members from the hands of the ninja who used the Steam Tower.
This is a genius even more powerful than Shisui!
Hiruzen was slightly apprehensive, but now was not the time to dwell on it.
He looked at Uchiha Fugaku and said, "Patriarch Fugaku, there are some misunderstandings. Please go into the Hokage building to discuss."
"Still discussing this, you motherfucker!"
Uchiha Inahime pointed at Sarutobi Hiruzen's nose and cursed: "There is no room for negotiation. Return the bodies of our clan first, and then hand over Danzo and the ninja who did it to us, or we will tear down your Hokage building today!"
The residents watching around pricked up their ears as if they had heard explosive news.
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned.
Another young member of the Uchiha clan.
His eyes silently glanced at Uchiha Setsuna who was standing next to Fugaku.
If there was no instruction from the top, how could this young man be so bold? It must be someone behind the scenes manipulating it!
"This matter has not been concluded yet. It is still unclear whether it was done by Danzo." After being scolded, Hiruzen was in a bad mood and his tone became a little colder.
"Who else could it be but him? Since you said it's not him, let's go to the root and find out." Daohuo did not back down.
At this time, Danzo, who had been hiding in the Hokage Building and didn't want to be exposed to civilians, couldn't help it.
There is no other way. If you don't come out, your house will be inspected.
He walked out of the Hokage building and said in a loud voice: "My roots are hiding the secrets of Konoha. I think your desire to find the body is fake, and your desire to explore the secrets of Konoha is real, right?"
This was Danzo's first public appearance in many years, and no one expected it to be like this.
The residents around looked at him and pointed, and although they didn't curse him, there was disgust in their eyes.
Damn the Uchiha clan!
Danzo couldn't help but curse in his heart when he saw this.
If the Uchiha clan hadn't spread the news of his human experiments, he would never have been hated by the villagers.
Setsuna snorted coldly: "You old dog Danzo finally came out. If you don't want to let us check, doesn't that mean you are guilty?"
"The Hokage Building is not as well guarded as your Root. Does your Root have more secrets than the Hokage Building?"
"Of course!" Danzo said as a matter of course.
As soon as he said this, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
He turned to look at Hiruzen, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
But at this time he and Danzo were definitely in the same camp, so he had to stand up and speak for him.
"The Root is the training department of the Anbu. Many confidential documents of the Anbu are kept in it. It is indeed not convenient for outsiders to see it."
"You two old men really grew up together, and you still want to protect him." Shana sneered and wanted to say something.
But he was stopped by Fugaku.
Fugaku, who had not spoken a word from the beginning until now, glanced at Hiruzen and Danzo. His calm eyes seemed to contain unspeakable disappointment and anger.
"Third-sama, we Uchiha clan are not unreasonable people. Since Danzo is unwilling to admit it, then we will use fair and just methods to judge."
"You say." Hiruzen drooped his eyelids slightly, hiding his eyes under the shadow of the Hokage's hat.
"Our tribe's genius Uchiha Shin grabbed a piece of cloth from a tribe member's body while resisting the enemy. We will ask the ninja dog to smell the scent and search for it. If the body is still in the village, it will naturally be found."
