Chapter 167 166: Vortex Center 【Subscribe! 】

Watanabe finally felt uneasy.

If Uchiha Madara is really behind the Uchiha defector, it is very likely that the conflict between the Uchiha family and Konoha will be intensified to the point where it cannot be reconciled.

Madara Uchiha is Uchiha's previous two patriarchs, and even Chiri can only be regarded as his junior, and his influence within the family may not be as great as his.

In addition, Madara Uchiha and Sanshoyu Hanzo are completely different from the shoddy apex of the ninja world. He is the real ceiling of the whole ninja world. Although Hakuma defeated him in the Valley of the End, it was not a few years after that. He died suddenly in his prime. Although the history book did not state the cause of his death, Watanabe guessed that he was 80% fatally injured in the Battle of the End Valley and fought with Madara Uchiha. into a dead end.

...

"If Madara Uchiha doesn't appear, we don't need to be so vigilant about the Uchiha clansman yet." Hizan said, "But he is back now, which means that the situation is beyond our control."

"Before you came, Konoha held a high-level meeting. We unanimously decided to put the Uchiha clan on high alert, and Mito-sama also agreed."

I don't know if it was an illusion, Sarutobi Shiraishi felt like his father... moved out of Mito's name to suppress Watanabe?

This operation is so critical, just Watanabe, how can he let his father treat him like this? ?

Watanabe was silent.

He has always had great respect for Mito, but even if Mito agreed, he would not allow Jiri to be in danger.

If he had to choose between Konoha and Jiri, he would definitely choose Jiri without hesitation. In his eyes, the two were not comparable at all.

"I know you don't want to see Konoha and the Uchiha clan break up, and no one wants to see such an outcome." Hiizhan said with consideration, "Now the village is only on guard against the Uchiha clan, and it is not about to take action against the Uchiha clan. At this point, there may not be an opportunity to usher in a change in the end.”

After finishing speaking, Hizan waited for a while, seeing Watanabe still silent.

Hiizhan sighed secretly in his heart. He really wanted to make up for Watanabe's goodwill towards him. The significance of Hiroshimari was extraordinary, but this time there was no room for concessions on the issue of Uchiha.

It is no exaggeration to say that once it is not handled well, Konoha collapse is just around the corner.

"Seeing that your mental state is not good, let's do it, I will give you a period of vacation, and you can rest for a few days." Ri Zhan finally decided that he wanted to put Watanabe into the cold palace, and let the current crisis pass first.

As for whether Ren Zhuli will hate him later, that will be a matter of the future.

"The Anbu side is temporarily handed over to Shiraishi for control, you don't have to worry anymore..."

"I don't need to rest."

Watanabe suddenly interrupted, standing up and expressionless: "I know what Anbu should do at a time like this, and I will lead Anbu to carry out the task well."

When the voice fell, he turned around and strode out.

Hizan frowned, his eyes fell on Watanabe's back, and he didn't say anything until the shadow disappeared from the field of vision.

"Father, is this operation really going to be handed over to him?" Sarutobi Shiraishi asked. Such Watanabe made him very uneasy.

Of course Hiizhan didn't want Watanabe to be in charge of Anbu's actions.

But he could see clearly in the crystal ball that day, Watanabe easily defeated the seventeen elite Jounin, and even he was afraid of that strength, and now he has made it clear that he wants to stand on the same line with Jiri. , it is almost impossible for him to obediently resign from the ministerial position.

At this moment, Hiizaki hoped that Watanabe would die under Madara Uchiha, so that he would no longer have to worry about the future threat of Hiroshima.

"Go and stare at him, once he makes any move that favors the Uchiha clan, use the Hokage secret edict and let the Anbu people take him down on the spot." Hi Zhan said in a deep voice.

I hope Watanabe knows something better. If he insists on not knowing what to do, he can only tear himself apart from him.

Hiizhan also believes that as long as Watanabe makes a move that endangers Konoha's safety, Mito will definitely reconsider the issue of Renzhuli's candidate. In other words, even if Mito does not consider it, there will be a lot of people forcing her to consider it.

"Yes."

Sarutobi Shiraishi answered the call.

...

...

After leaving the Hokage Building, Watanabe flitted and swept through the streets of Konoha, feeling more solemn than ever.

He didn't expect the crisis to come so suddenly. Last night, he was still lingering with Zhili, and he was involved in the center of the whirlpool early this morning, which suddenly left him without the slightest preparation.

Hizen wanted to take him out of the center of the vortex, but Watanabe certainly wouldn't do what he wanted. Anbu was composed of more than 100 jounin and elite jounin. It was Konoha's most powerful military force. Only when the power is firmly in his hands can he help Zhili.

"Uchiha Madara, I don't know what you are plotting, in short, you should never, never threaten Jiri..."

"Whoosh."

There was a sound of breaking through the air behind him. Watanabe looked back and saw Sarutobi Shiraishi quickly chasing after him. Watanabe deliberately slowed down and waited for him, staring at the rhino face mask on his face.

"I'm here to assist the Minister, what will the Minister plan to do next?"

Sarutobi Shiraishi was very uncomfortable being stared at by Watanabe, and he daring to ask questions.

Watanabe understood that all the information about the Uchiha clan that Hiyazan got was probably provided to him by Sarutobi Shiraishi. After all, Konoha did not have any department with better intelligence capabilities than Anbu.

"Minister Shiraishi, next time you collect any information and submit it to Hokage, you'd better let me know." Watanabe said.

"Okay... okay."

Sarutobi Shiraishi's reaction to Watanabe was not surprising. After all, he was so strong in front of his father, and he certainly wouldn't take himself too seriously.

"You call all the members of Anbu to the Uchiha clan to gather." Sarutobi Shiraishi was at best a tool man under Hizan, and Watanabe didn't talk to him any more, and ordered directly.

Sarutobi Hizan hesitated to remind: "Is it lurking near the Uchiha clan?"

"No, it's gathering at the Uchiha clan." Watanabe's tone was quite firm, beyond doubt.

"Minister Shiraishi, I know that Hokage may have given you other orders, but what I want to tell you is that once the Uchiha clan is forced by Konoha to turn against each other, the two sides will be in the end. It's for peace between the two, and whoever gets in my way, I'll take care of him."

Although Watanabe's voice was calm, it revealed a heart-pounding murderous aura, which made Sarutobi Shiraishi's heart tremble.

He couldn't help but imagine that if Watanabe really made a move in favor of the Uchiha clan, and he launched the Hokage secret edict, how many elite ninjas would have to get in to take him down?

"Okay, I see."
