Chapter 619: Bad News Coming One After Another

"We found some secret scrolls. According to the contents, Danzo-sama seems to have cooperated with an unknown force and the Rain Village to kill Sosuke."

The Anbu ninja reported while handing the scroll he found to Sarutobi Hiruzen with both hands.

"Unknown force... Could it be related to Uchiha Madara?" Sarutobi Hiruzen instantly thought of Uchiha Madara, but his expression was calm.

Before the investigation is clear, the information about "Uchiha Madara" cannot be leaked, otherwise it will cause conflicts.

The Uchiha clan already has a history of coup d'état, and now the death of Shimura Danzo is inexplicably related to the name "Uchiha Madara".

Not to mention those ninjas who are prejudiced against the Uchiha clan, even Sarutobi Hiruzen can't help but have some doubts about the Uchiha clan now.

He doesn't think that the entire Uchiha clan has problems, but he thinks that there is a high possibility that "Uchiha Madara" forces among the Uchiha clan.

For the harmony and stability of Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not want to let others know this information, including the other two Konoha high-level officials.

Sarutobi Hiruzen opened the scroll and instantly recognized that it was the handwriting of Shimura Danzo, a secret scroll written by Shimura Danzo himself.

Sarutobi Hiruzen read the scroll carefully and nodded, letting the Anbu withdraw.

There was little information about unknown forces, and there were no words related to "Uchiha Madara". It was mainly some arrangements made by Shimura Danzo to surround and kill Sosuke.

Before finding Sarutobi Hiruzen, the cautious Mu Yue had already conducted a large investigation. What Sarutobi Hiruzen could know was what Mu Yue wanted him to know.

For example, the scroll that said it helped Shimura Danzo obtain Wood Release was dealt with by Mu Yue at the first time.

"Solve!"

When there was no one in the office, Sarutobi Hiruzen condensed his chakra and made a seal, and the words on the scroll twisted rapidly and changed.

To outsiders, this is just an ordinary secret scroll, but after reading it carefully, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who is a decades-old friend of Shimura Danzo, discovered different information in it.

"Huruzen, if you see this secret scroll, I should have been killed." This is the first sentence that Sarutobi Hiruzen saw.

"Alas." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed deeply.

If Shimura Danzo had not died, he would not have been able to find this secret scroll. After all, if Shimura Danzo was alive, he would not have been able to let the Anbu search the Root thoroughly.

"This operation is very dangerous. Even if I am well prepared, there is still a risk of death, but I have to go. After success, Konoha will have one less big hidden danger, and I can also find out some details of Uchiha Madara."

Seeing the words "Uchiha Madara", Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were focused.

"Uchiha Madara is very powerful. He can enter and exit even the most secret places of the Root at will, and he also has a good influence in the ninja world."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little surprised. It turned out that "Uchiha Madara" was still in Konoha and Shimura Danzo to discuss cooperation?

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned. The defense of the Anbu was not much stronger than that of the Root. If "Uchiha Madara" could come and go freely in the Root, he could come and go freely in the Anbu.

"How did he hide from the Great Barrier?" Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression was not very good.

The whole Konoha was covered by a huge barrier. Whether entering from the gate, drilling from the ground, or flying down from the sky, it should be discovered by the Great Barrier.

"The Uchiha clan is not trustworthy. Uchiha Madara is definitely related to them."

Sarutobi Hiruzen could feel Shimura Danzo's suspicion of the Uchiha clan just from the handwriting, which was why he wanted to prevent the information from leaking.

This information was too detrimental to unity.

"Uchiha Madara could kill me who was well prepared. He must have bad intentions against Konoha. We must keep an eye on Utatane Koharu, Mitomon En, and Orochimaru to prevent Uchiha Madara from using them to destroy Konoha."

"Huruzen, protect Konoha."

At this point, the content of the scroll ended completely.

Sarutobi Hiruzen rubbed his wrinkled forehead. He could feel the threat of "Uchiha Madara" from Shimura Danzo's words.

However, Shimura Danzo himself did not know much about "Uchiha Madara", and naturally there was not much accurate information about "Uchiha Madara" in the scroll. Most of it was speculation based on the current situation.

"Besides, Danzo, you are too arrogant." Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little helpless.

According to Mu Yue's information, Shimura Danzo was killed by Sosuke, and in this scroll, Shimura Danzo believed that if he died, it must be "Uchiha Madara" who played a trick.

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a while, put away the scroll and called the Anbu, and ordered: "Notify Mu Yue to come to the Hokage's office."

The Anbu nodded, walked out of the office and quickly found Mu Yue, and took Mu Yue back to the Hokage's office.

"Sandaime-sama." Mu Yue said with respect, not knowing whether he didn't sleep well last night or what, there was a trace of fatigue on his face that was difficult to hide.

"Thank you for your hard work. You are still in class today after such a thing happened." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.

Although Mu Yue did not report Shimura Danzo's affairs immediately in this incident, Mu Yue's various performances and actions made Sarutobi Hiruzen more satisfied with Mu Yue.

"It's just a few hours of class, it won't affect you, and you are still working, how can I stagnate because of this." Mu Yue said seriously.

"No wonder Danzo wanted to hand over the Root to you. When he first created the Root, he worked as hard as you do now." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.

After a few pleasantries, Sarutobi Hiruzen handed the scroll to Mu Yue.

Mu Yue was the only ninja in Konoha besides him who knew about the existence of "Uchiha Madara", and he also had a special relationship with Shimura Danzo. Sarutobi Hiruzen believed that Mu Yue had the right to know.

Mu Yue was surprised after reading the scroll, "Uchiha Madara actually entered Konoha!"

Of course, he was pretending.

Mu Yue had known the contents of this scroll for a long time.

His sealing skills had already surpassed Kushina, and he also had extraordinary perception abilities such as the Byakugan that could see through the world. How could he not find out what Shimura Danzo had done to the scroll.

It was just that the hidden content of this scroll would not affect Mu Yue's layout, so he did not deal with it.

With Uchiha Madara attracting firepower, Konoha would not pay so much attention to the Ninja Sect.

Mu Yue could only say that Shimura Danzo was really cautious. Even if it was the secret scroll he wrote, he would not write down all the information because of the risk of exposure. He did not write about Wood Release and Samsara Eye at all, as if he was only trying to get rid of Sosuke.

This kind of person would probably only become sincere when he was leaving his last words.

"Please describe the scene you saw in detail. Was it really only Sosuke who killed Danzo?" Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

Since Shimura Danzo was in the secret scroll, it was certain that his death would be related to "Uchiha Madara". Sarutobi Hiruzen thought that Sosuke might have something to do with "Uchiha Madara".

Maybe this incident was a plan by Sosuke and "Uchiha Madara".

"Only Sosuke and Danzo were fighting. The rest were far away, and there was no sign of them taking action." Mu Yue nodded and said.

Shimura Danzo underestimated Sosuke and overestimated himself and Uchiha Madara.

"So..." Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a thoughtful look.

Shimura Danzo's speculation was just a guess, while Mu Yue's information was reality, so of course the guess should be based on Mu Yue's information.

However, according to Mu Yue's information, many of Shimura Danzo's ideas have exposed problems.

"Your training team should recruit new members. It's not right to have only one member all the time." Suddenly Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of something and said.

"Although Shisui is young, he is a steady person and a good talent."

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that there was something wrong with Uchiha, but at this critical moment, it would be troublesome for the Anbu to openly investigate Uchiha, so he thought of a good way, that is, to use Uchiha to defeat Uchiha.

Mu Yue's two Uchiha disciples can be 100% trusted. If it weren't for Obito's personality not being suitable for staying in the Anbu, Sarutobi Hiruzen was going to let them both enter the Anbu together.

"Shisui does have the talent to become an Anbu." Mu Yue nodded and replied.

He guessed Sarutobi Hiruzen's purpose, but it was not bad for Shisui.

The Uchiha problem involves too many aspects. It cannot be completely solved only within the Uchiha clan. It is necessary to take into account both within the clan and outside the clan.

Mu Yue's idea is to make the training team a springboard for Shisui to train Shisui's ability and also to brush up Shisui's resume.

Although both of them became Anbu, Shisui's situation is different from Itachi's.

First of all, Itachi entered the ordinary Anbu, while Shisui entered Mu Yue's exclusive training team, which can basically be regarded as Mu Yue's Anbu.

As a teacher, Mu Yue will definitely not let his disciples suffer.

After giving some guiding opinions on the development of the training team, Mu Yue left the Hokage's office. Sarutobi Hiruzen continued to handle official business and arranged for the Anbu to continue investigating.

This time it was not just Konoha. Sarutobi Hiruzen began to investigate the Land of Rain.

As the place where Shimura Danzo sacrificed, the Land of Rain would definitely have relevant information that he did not have now.

However, before the Anbu could find out the important news related to Shimura Danzo's death, bad news came one after another to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"The news of Danzo's death has leaked!"

"The Cloud Hidden in the Land of Hot Springs is making unusual moves!"

"The number of spies in the Land of Fire has increased dramatically recently!"

Bang!

Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen was getting anxious about the worsening situation, the wooden door of the Hokage's office was pushed open, and Utatane Koharu and Mito Kado En walked into the Hokage's office together.

"Huruzen, Danzo is dead!" Mito Kado En said with some sadness.

His relationship with Shimura Danzo was not as close as that between Shimura Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen, but they were not strangers either. They had been through life and death together, and often attended meetings related to the future of Konoha together.

Such a companion died, even if Mito Kado En had some complaints about some of Shimura Danzo's political views, he could not help but feel a little sad.

"I know." Sarutobi Hiruzen rubbed his forehead and sighed.

He did such a good job of keeping secrets, but now the news is flying everywhere, it can only be that Sosuke or "Uchiha Madara" are taking action.

"You know why you didn't tell us earlier." Utatane Koharu was a little dissatisfied.

"Danzo is at least one of our top leaders."

Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression, she knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen must have received the news a long time ago.

After all, Sarutobi Hiruzen has always had a good relationship with Shimura Danzo. He shouldn't be so calm when he learned of his friend's death.

"This matter is very complicated. I wanted to find out some information before notifying you." Sarutobi Hiruzen explained briefly.

The death of Shimura Danzo involved too many things, and "Uchiha Madara" acted too quickly, which eventually led to this situation.

"Let's go to the meeting room." Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up and said.

At this point, he could only reveal some information.

In the meeting room, Sarutobi Hiruzen handed the confidential information he had recently collected to the consultants for viewing, and explained to them the matter of Shimura Danzo.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not reveal the existence of "Uchiha Madara", but only said that there was an evil ninja organization interfering.

"Too stupid, such important information was not reported to the village, but acted privately!" Utatane Koharu couldn't control her emotions.

She wanted to slap Shimura Danzo's body now. Not only did she commit suicide, but she also put Konoha in danger.

"Ahem, Koharu, Danzo has sacrificed himself for the village after all." Mito Kado En coughed twice to remind him.

Shimura Danzo is stupid, but the dead are the greatest, and it's not good to scold him now.

Utatane Koharu only then realized that Sarutobi Hiruzen was looking at her with an ugly expression.

Thinking of the relationship between the two, Utatane Koharu silently shut up. There was no need to care about the dead Shimura Danzo, but the living Sarutobi Hiruzen was still the Hokage who had the final say.

"Kumogakure should inform Orochimaru to be careful, and then send more ninjas to patrol the border."

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not say anything to Utatane Koharu, but turned the topic to the specific way to deal with it.

"We have to destroy the spirit of Kumogakure and let others know that our Konoha is invincible." Mito Kado En nodded in approval.

Why did Kumogakure take action at this time? It was nothing more than thinking that this was an opportunity to take advantage of.

And what Konoha had to do was to crush Kumogakure's ideas and let others know how powerful Konoha was, so that the turmoil caused by Shimura Danzo's death would dissipate.

Of course, if Konoha showed its weakness in the process, then it might not just be Kumogakure at that time. Many people would be happy to beat the dog when it was down.

After the meeting, it was almost time to get off work, but Sarutobi Hiruzen did not go home immediately, but returned to the Hokage's office, standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window overlooking Konoha.

"Mu Yue has to bear more burdens." Sarutobi Hiruzen put down his pipe and exhaled wisps of white smoke.

Originally, he wanted to let Mu Yue's training team develop naturally, but now the situation is getting more chaotic, and he needs a stronger Anbu.

PS: I seem to be better today, and I am not so dizzy anymore.

I dare not turn on the air conditioner these two days, and I almost died of heat.

If you don't turn on the air conditioner in Guangdong in July, you will live in silence.
