Chapter 40: The Least Likely Insider, Uchiha

"I understand, I can understand, so let me speak first."

Akimichi Torifu took a deep breath and nodded in agreement:

"First of all, I want to clarify that I am not clear about the specific development of the Root in recent years, and I don't know what Danzo is messing with. My knowledge is limited, and this matter has nothing to do with me."

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

Akimichi Torifu is not a fool, otherwise he would not choose to retire early and live a peaceful life at home.

Eating and drinking all day, without worries, he is already content if he can protect the three clans of Ino, Shika, Cho. As for other things, he can't manage and doesn't want to manage.

The Third Hokage listened quietly.

Akimichi Torifu continued:

"The purpose of the other party is very clear, it is to target Danzo, even Konohagakure, and the entire Land of Fire, you might as well start from here."

"Targeting Danzo?"

The Third Hokage frowned slightly.

He had thought about these things, but there were a lot of people in the village who had offended Danzo. Apart from the Uchiha who hated Danzo the most, all the big and small clans had a negative impression of Danzo, especially the clans that Danzo had visited to ask for people.

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

"Let's start with the exclusion method, first of all, Uchiha.....uh."

When it came to Uchiha, Akimichi Torifu's chubby face was full of embarrassment:

"Cough cough, don't mention Uchiha, they know too little about the secrets, it's unlikely to be them."

"....."

You know you still say these?

On the surface, Uchiha couldn't wait to kill Danzo, but unfortunately, Uchiha knew too little about the secrets and it couldn't be them.

Whoever it is, it will actively remove Uchiha from the suspect's identity.

Then go on to investigate other suspects.

The result is that after checking back and forth, even the Ino, Shika, Cho have suspicions, and Akimichi Torifu has a dog-like expression on his face.

How come I get involved when I go around?

"Hiruzen, you investigate slowly, I can't do it."

In the end, Akimichi Torifu chose to lie down, you love how to investigate, anyway, it has nothing to do with me, and it has nothing to do with Ino, Shika, Cho.

Although Danzo also messed with the three clans of Ino, Shika, Cho.

The people of Ino, Shika, Cho also don't like Danzo.

It's not worth messing with Danzo for this little thing, and the whole Ino, Shika, Cho knows very few people who know these information secrets.

No one looks like a suspect.

After tossing around for most of the night, the Third Hokage finally left disappointed.

"Akimichi Torifu, how's the situation?"

As soon as the Third Hokage left, Nara, the chief brain of the three families of Ino, Shika, Cho came.

"He left, no result, everyone has a problem, but no one can do this kind of thing."

Akimichi Torifu rolled his eyes.

"You're just in time, you analyze, who has the biggest suspicion."

You think I'm a god.

Nara was speechless, and looked at the greasy table with disgust:

"As you said, the biggest suspicion, the least likely, others all have suspicions, but there is no evidence to prove it, I'm afraid this matter will not have a result."

As long as there is no evidence, even if Konohagakure is turned upside down, the Third Hokage will choose to give up.

At most, I'll just note this down and pay more attention in the future.

Compared to catching the mole, the situation outside is more worth paying attention to.

"You're right, Danzo probably has the heart to kill."

Torifu laughed heartily: "What he cares about the most is power, and now he's lost it all."

I'm not laughing, I can't laugh.

Nara's heart is so happy, but on the surface, he is indifferent, as if this kind of thing is not worth his emotional fluctuation.

In fact, seeing Danzo in trouble, he couldn't be happier.

Every time he thought of Danzo running to the Ino, Shika, Cho to ask for people, he was so angry that his teeth itched.

He wanted people from the Nara clan to be staff, people from the Yamanaka clan to be intelligence interrogators, he wanted....

In short, he really wanted to kill him.

The Ino, Shika, Cho is no exception, all the families that are suspected, the Third Hokage has visited one by one, even the families behind Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura couldn't escape.

As for this, the two advisory elders didn't have much objection.

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

The Third Hokage didn't cut with one knife, he visited and asked one by one, which was already giving enough face.

As Nara said, the result of this matter is that there is no result.

In the end, the Third Hokage chose to give up the investigation of the mole, the idea of catching the mole, and focused on dealing with the mess outside.

The Daimyos of various countries jointly questioned, which was much more serious than other villages. If they were not careful, Konohagakure would become the first village to offend all Daimyos.

At that time, the entire development of Konohagakure, whether it is economic or military, will be choked to death.

If it really comes to this step, Sarutobi Hiruzen, this Third Hokage doesn't need to do it anymore, he can directly retire and go home.

"Damn it!"

With the character of the Third Hokage, he rarely loses his temper and swears, but he can't help it.

Not to mention swearing, the Third Hokage, who is rarely seen, heavily slapped the communication scroll in his hand on the office desk, and his gradually aging face turned red.

Sitting on the side, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura looked at the Third Hokage in anger and sighed slightly.

Since this incident broke out, the Third Hokage's emotional control has been getting weaker and weaker.

Realizing that he had lost his temper, this was not good, as the leader of Konohagakure Ninja Village, the Hokage needs to calm down and deal with anything, and cannot get angry because of personal emotions.

He took a deep breath, and the Third Hokage gradually calmed down his anger.

"The Daimyo's mansion has sent a message, the Daimyo wants to invite the Daimyos of various countries to the Daimyo's mansion to attend a gathering, and needs Konohagakure to dispatch a ninja team for protection."

Such gatherings happen once or twice a year.

In theory, the Third Hokage should have been used to it.

The reason why he was angry was that in the past, he was the one who mobilized manpower to go to the Daimyo's mansion, but this time, the Daimyo clearly didn't trust him and specifically requested Uchiha to dispatch a squad from the police department to the Daimyo's mansion.

"The Daimyo doesn't trust us, he specifically requested people from Uchiha to go and take on the protection work."

"...."

No wonder you're so angry.

Utatane Koharu sighed:

"In the past, such tasks were directly assigned by the Hokage's office, but this year.....sigh~~"

The situation is bad, in order to stabilize the Daimyo, Konohagakure can only choose to continue to retreat.

"Then this year's gathering...."

Mitokado Homura hesitated to speak.

They don't want Uchiha to be involved in this kind of thing all the time, otherwise, it would be easy for the situation to arise where the Daimyo leans towards Uchiha to stand for them, and Uchiha secretly supports the Daimyo.

This situation must not be allowed to happen.

But the Daimyo doesn't give money, it is same as the Daimyo choked Konohagakure necks, forcing them to bow their heads and retreat.
