Chapter 432: Follow-Up

Konoha Village

A few days later, Orochimaru held a modest funeral for the Third Hokage.

The previous incident of Uchiha being forced away by the Third Hokage had already brought Sarutobi Hiruzen's reputation to a freezing point.

Although the Sarutobi clan worked day and night to gain favor for the Third Hokage, many people felt that the merits of the Third Hokage were equal to their faults.

I don't think the Third Hokage is that great either.

At the funeral, apart from Konohamaru who was crying, Asuma was probably the only other person who was truly sad.

Asuma didn't know until the end that his father Hiruzen Sarutobi died together with Danzo.

Now that the mastermind Danzo is gone, Asuma can't find anyone to take revenge on.

But throughout the funeral, Tsunade was not seen.

Jiraiya did come, but his face was not heavy.

He just stared at the grave of the Third Hokage with a complicated expression.

Natsuki didn't come to join in the fun because he taught Sasuke and Naruto the psychic skills the next day.

Let Itachi use the psychic circle left by Natsuki to use the reverse psychic technique to pull him back.

Natsuki also carried the assimilated Hyuga Kaito's white eyes.

These eyes were what he planned to use for Nagato.

…

Kakashi also attended the funeral of the Third Hokage.

But what is different from others is that after Kakashi participated.

But it feels like a loss.

Before, he thought about practicing hard and improving his strength every day.

The purpose is to one day have enough voice to stand in front of the Third Hokage and make him admit his mistakes.

The idea was good, but the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly died.

It happened suddenly.

Civil strife broke out in the Hyuga clan.

Even Kakashi was blocked by ANBU.

Logically speaking, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Tsunade, plus Sarutobi Hiruzen.

This is already the overall combat power of Konoha.

It's not a sure thing to defeat Danzo and Hyuga traitors.

But the final result was that Sarutobi Hiruzen died.

And he died together with Danzo.

Outsiders simply don't understand why Sarutobi Hiruzen would die in Tsunade's presence.

Kakashi doesn't understand either.

But Kakashi has a mouth and knows how to ask Orochimaru.

His previous relationship with Orochimaru was considered good.

Later, Orochimaru even helped and resurrected Nohara Lin through filthy earth reincarnation.

It finally settled Kakashi's worries.

Kakashi was completely loyal to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru didn't hide it from him. On the contrary, Orochimaru told Kakashi more.

After all, talents still need to be recruited.

Orochimaru told all the things that happened to the third generation before Kakashi knew about it.

Why is Tsunade there? Sarutobi and Hiruzen are also dead.

As for what Sarutobi Hiruzen did, he was selfish to the extreme.

Konoha could have been stronger.

But all were destroyed in the hands of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Not only was his own tragedy created by Hiruzen Sarutobi, but so was Naruto's, and so was Tsunade-sama's.

In the end, if Uchiha hadn't produced a Natsuki, Uchiha would have been destroyed in his hands.

Among the people present, probably except for Jiraiya who still had some feelings for him, everyone else was looking forward to Sarutobi Hiruzen's death.

Kakashi saw the look on Orochimaru's face when he was talking about the Third Hokage, and finally guessed that even Orochimaru and the Third Hokage were not of the same mind.

Kakashi returned home from Orochimaru and sat alone for a long time.

But in the end he walked out.

Because even if the Third Hokage is gone.

He cannot be decadent either.

Because he promised Lin that he would stop Obito.

Moreover, the teacher and his wife must avenge themselves!

…

Orochimaru after studying Bai Zetsu.

I found that Bai Jue is simply the best research material.

So a whole village investigation was started to search for Bai Jue’s whereabouts.

The method of investigation is also very simple, except for re-establishing the barrier and exploring the underground.

It means extracting Jugo's senjutsu chakra every day and making it into a detection drug.

If someone is parasitized by the spore technique, their physical form will appear immediately.

Capsules are usually given to various ninja clans.

Minato is in charge of the ordinary villagers.

Villagers lined up to come here for inspection at Watergate.

The Minato check is also very simple. You only need to input a small amount of senjutsu chakra into the opponent to force out the spore white Zetsu.

It has to be said that Orochimaru's troubleshooting method is simple and effective.

He really caught a few fish that slipped through the net.

After a thorough study of Bai Zetsu's body.

Orochimaru suddenly had new ideas about his embryo research. After arranging things, he plunged into the laboratory.

Konoha Village seems to have returned to its previous state.

But it's actually completely different.

Nearly fifty people of the Hyuga clan died, but more than fifty people left.

And the people who died were all the elites of the Hyuga branch.

Under this situation, the strength of the Hyuga clan declined significantly.

In the ninja villages of the five major countries, each other has spies for each other. After all, the population base is large.

One type is people who come to the village to stay on the pretext of doing business, traveling, issuing tasks, etc.

The other type was sent to the other party's village to grow up at a very young age.

This will provide information to the Ninja Village for a long time, but some particularly confidential information cannot be detected.

This time, the Hyuga incident was too big, and Hyuga was also a member of the security team.

People who usually patrolled everywhere with a pair of white eyes disappeared without a trace.

How could they hide?

So the news spread quickly, and everyone knew that Hyuga had suffered a heavy blow.

At this time, the Sarutobi clan came back.

The Sarutobi clan came back very low-key, and did not enter Konoha in groups.

Except for the registration staff of Konoha, no one knew that so many people from the Sarutobi clan had returned.

After these people from the Sarutobi clan came back, they only stayed in the clan for a short time.

Then they went to the security team to take up their posts.

Hyuga Yuto was appointed to arrange work for these Sarutobi clan members.

Although the Fifth Hokage told him that the ability of the Sarutobi clan members was not as good as that of the Hyuga clan.

But when the Sarutobi clan arrived, Yuto was completely dumbfounded.

More than fifty Chunins, and the rest were all Genins.

And no one said that the Sarutobi clan would come with a full 500 people.

No wonder they say that the quality is not good but the quantity is good.

The work that one Hyuga clan member used to do now needs four or five Sarutobi clan members to do.

The only thing that comforts Hyuga Yuto is that.

There are no troublemakers among these Sarutobi clan members.

They are all extremely obedient. If you tell them to go east, they won’t go west.

If you tell them to chase dogs, they won’t dare to catch chickens.

The main point is that they are obedient.

The villagers all know that the Hyuga clan has an accident.

There is no surprise about these new faces, anyway, they don’t know them.

Only a few people know that these guards are all from the Sarutobi family.
