Chapter 1068 Connivance

After dealing with Danzo and sealing and imprisoning Orochimaru and his gang in the interrogation room in the police building, Shinji began to deal with the affairs of the village.

In the office of the captain of the police force.

The ninjas from the Anbu and the intelligence team reported the information collected from all over the village to Shinji who was sitting behind the captain's desk.

The attack of the air ninja caused serious damage to the village.

According to incomplete statistics, at least 20% of the houses in the village were seriously damaged. The fire affected dozens of blocks including the core area. Even the ninja school was bombed, and some teaching buildings collapsed in the fire.

While looking at the report, Shinji asked, "What about the casualties?"

The intelligence team ninja replied, "I'm sorry, the casualties are still being counted!"

The casualties of the village this time include the casualties caused by the air ninja attack, the casualties caused by the attack of Orochimaru and his gang, and the casualties caused by the suppression of Danzo just now. Because they are spread throughout the village, the statistics are still in progress.

Putting down the documents in his hand, Shinji ordered: "I want to know the specific casualties today!"

"Yes!"

The intelligence team ninja responded quickly.

Shinji said casually: "In addition, after the casualty data comes out, report the situation of the village to the fifth generation and wait for her next instructions!"

He doesn't have the energy to take care of the mess of Konoha now. The previous seizure of power was just to deal with Danzo. Now that Danzo has been solved, he naturally doesn't want to waste too much energy on the village.

"Yes!"

Seeing that Shinji had no intention of cutting off the communication between the village and the coalition headquarters, the ninjas of the Anbu and the intelligence team secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After a few more simple instructions, Shinji came to the Konoha Hospital.

At this time, the Konoha Hospital was already overcrowded. Villagers injured in the air raid, ninjas injured by Orochimaru and his gang, and ninjas injured when suppressing Danzo were sent here one after another.

However, since a large number of medical ninjas had left the village with the army, the hospital was very short of manpower. Even Sakura and Ino, who had mastered some medical ninjutsu, were temporarily recruited to the hospital to help.

Shinji walked into the hospital along the way. Along the way, whether it was the injured or the medical ninjas in the hospital, they all stopped their work and saluted him after seeing him.

Obviously, his high-profile seizure of power and the punishment of Danzo had spread in the village. Even the injured in the hospital knew that he, the captain of the police force, was currently the highest commander in the village and had power close to that of the Hokage.

Shinji nodded in return and did not become arrogant and rude because of his power.

When he came to the morgue, Shinji saw the body of the third generation collected by the Anbu.

The Anbu on the side said: "We found the third generation in the forest of death. The third generation was already dead at that time. There were two fatal injuries. One was the wound on the throat. The murder weapon should be a ninja tool such as kunai or shuriken."

Shinji asked: "What about the other fatal injury?"

The Anbu sighed and said: "The other fatal injury is a sealing technique. According to the remains of the third generation and the situation at the scene, we infer that the third generation used the "Shiki Fuujin" before he died, trying to die with Orochimaru!"

Shinji asked: "Then what's the conclusion?"

The Anbu said: "The footprints of a third person appeared at the scene. After comparison, it was Kabuto Yakushi. So the situation should be that the third generation fought with Orochimaru, and finally tried to die with Orochimaru with the "Shiki Fuujin". As a result, he was disturbed by Kabuto Yakushi and died unfortunately!"

Shinji stood quietly for a while and said: "This is the way he chose for himself!"

The Anbu was stunned at first, pondered for a while, and finally nodded slightly.

From the fact that the Third Generation led Orochimaru into the Forest of Death alone and launched the "Shiki Kaijin", it can be seen that this final duel between the master and the apprentice was indeed not accidental. So after thinking through this point, the Anbu was not so difficult to accept the death of the Third Generation.

Shinji asked again: "How did Danzo leave the prison?"

The Anbu replied: "The Third Generation personally took him out of the prison before the war."

Shinji also casually explained: "The Third Generation took him out of the prison, probably to temporarily recruit him to fight against Orochimaru. Why didn't he fight against Orochimaru with the Third Generation? This is one of the evidences of his collusion with Orochimaru and his intention to subvert the village. Don't forget this when you report to the Fifth Generation later!"

The Anbu nodded in agreement.

Danzo did not assist the Third Generation in fighting against Orochimaru. Instead, he rushed out to grab the fruits of victory after Orochimaru and his gang were frustrated in front of the police force building. This evidence is indeed indelible.

Maybe the Third Generation would have protected him before, but now that the Third Generation is dead, no one will protect him anymore.

After leaving the morgue, Shinji went to the ophthalmology department on the third floor of the hospital, where a special patient was being treated.

This person was none other than Hyuga Hiashi, who was attacked by Otsutsuki Toneri and had his Byakugan taken away when the Sora Ninja and Orochimaru attacked the village one after another.

Shinji asked, "How is it?"

The medical ninja who was examining Hiashi stood up quickly and reported: "Hiashi-sama is fine, but his Byakugan was forcibly taken away. I'm afraid he won't be able to see in the future."

Hiashi, with bandages on both eyes, asked: "Is it Shinji?"

Shinji asked in a routine tone: "It's me! Hiashi-sama, who attacked you? Who took away your Byakugan?"

Hiashi shook his head: "Because I was attacked by surprise, I don't know the identity of the attacker."

No doubt.

The Otsutsuki clan on the moon is the secret of the Hyuga clan. Even if the two sides have completely turned against each other, Hiashi doesn't want to reveal too much to Shinji.

After all, Shinji is only temporarily in control of the power of the village. When the fifth generation leads the army back to the village, no one can tell what the power structure in the village will be like, so he dare not rush to stand in line on behalf of the Hyuga clan at this time.

Shinji knew it well, so he didn't ask more questions. He just said a few polite words about arresting the murderer for the Hyuga clan, and then turned and left the ward.

Not to mention that when Wuming was fighting with Kabuto Yakushi, he happened to witness Otsutsuki Toneri attacking the Hyuga clan. Karin's 'Kagura Heart' alone had already locked onto Otsutsuki Toneri's trail when he sneaked into the village to attack the Hyuga clan.

So Shinji actually knew about Otsutsuki Toneri's invasion all along.

It can even be said that Otsutsuki Toneri took away the Byakugan of Hyuga Hiashi with Shinji's deliberate connivance. Otherwise, even if Otsutsuki Toneri had the 'Giant Samsara Eye' on the moon to protect him, Shinji would have been confident of repelling him.

The first update is here!
