Chapter 40 The Most Unlikely Traitor Is Uchiha

"I understand, Fatty, I can understand, so I'll say it first."

Qufeng nodded in agreement, expressing his understanding:

"First of all, I want to clarify that Fatty, I don't know the specific development of the root in recent years, and I don't know what Danzo is doing. I know a limited amount of things, and this matter has nothing to do with me."

No one would be stupid enough to take the blame for something that didn't happen.

He Akimichi Qufeng is not a fool, otherwise he would not have chosen to retire early and live at home in peace.

Eating and drinking all day long, worry-free, and being able to protect the three families of Ino, Shikaku and Chocho is enough. As for the rest, I can't care, and I'm too lazy to care.

The third generation Hokage listened quietly.

Qufeng continued:

"The other party's purpose is very clear, just to target Danzo, even Konoha, and the entire Land of Fire. You might as well start from here."

"Targeting Danzo?"

The third generation Hokage frowned slightly.

It's not that he hadn't thought about these things, but Danzo had offended a lot of people in the village. Except for Uchiha, who hated Danzo the most, all the big and small families had a negative impression of Danzo, especially the families that Danzo came to ask for people.

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

"Let's do the elimination method first. First, Uchiha........ um."

Speaking of Uchiha, Qufeng's chubby face was full of embarrassment:

"Ahem, let's not talk about Uchiha. They know too few secrets. It's unlikely that they are them."

"........"

You still say this knowing that?

On the surface, it seems that Uchiha wants to kill Danzo, but unfortunately Uchiha knows too few secrets. It's impossible for them.

No matter who it is, they will take the initiative to cross Uchiha out of the suspect identity.

Then go to check other suspects.

The result is that after checking back and forth, even Ino-Shika-Chou is suspected, and Akimichi Qufeng has a look of shock on his face.

How did they get me, a fat man, involved in all the twists and turns?

"Hiruzen, you can investigate slowly by yourself. I, Fatty, can't do it anymore."

Finally, Qufeng chose to lie down. You can investigate however you want. Anyway, it has nothing to do with me, Fatty, or Ino-Shika-Chou.

Although Danzo also messed with the three families of Ino-Shika-Chou.

The people of Ino-Shika-Chou don't like Danzo either.

It's not necessary to mess with Danzo for such a small matter. Besides, there are very few people in the entire Ino-Shika-Chou who know these intelligence secrets.

No one seems to be a suspect.

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

"Qufeng, how is the situation."

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

"I left, and there was no result. Everyone has problems, but no one can do such a thing."

Qufeng rolled his eyes.

"You came at the right time. Analyze and see who is the most suspicious."

You think I am a god.

Lu Xin was speechless, and looked at the greasy desktop with disdain:

"Just like you said, the one with the greatest suspicion is the least likely, and the others are all suspected, but there is no evidence to prove it, so this matter may not have any results."

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

At most, he will record this matter and pay more attention to it in the future.

Compared to catching the traitor, the situation outside is more worthy of attention.

"You are right, Danzo may have the intention to kill people."

Qu Feng laughed and said, "What he cares about most is power, but in the end, it's all gone."

I don't laugh, I can't laugh.

Lu Xin was very happy in his heart, but on the surface he was indifferent, as if this matter was not worth his emotional fluctuations.

In fact, he was so happy to see Danzo in trouble.

When he thought of Danzo running to Ino-Shika-Chou to ask for people, he was so angry that his teeth itched.

He wanted people from the Nara clan to be his staff, people from the Yamanaka clan to be interrogators, and.........

In short, he really wanted to kill him.

Ino-Shika-cho was no exception. The Third Hokage visited all the families that were suspected, even the families behind Utatane Koharu and Mito-mon En could not escape.

The two advisory elders did not have much objection to this.

They would probably be more anxious if it were them.

The Third Hokage did not make a one-size-fits-all decision, but visited and inquired one by one, which was considered to be giving enough face.

As Nara Shikashin said, the result of this matter was no result.

In the end, the Third Hokage chose to give up the idea of ​​investigating and catching the inner traitor, and focused on dealing with the chaos outside.

The joint questioning of the daimyos of various countries is much more serious than the questioning of other villages. If you are not careful, Konoha will become the first village to offend all the daimyos.

At that time, the development of the entire Konoha, whether economically or militarily, will be strangled.

If it really comes to this, Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, will no longer need to be a Hokage, and can be laid off and go home to retire.

"Damn it!"

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

Not to mention swearing, the Third Hokage slammed the message scroll in his hand heavily on the desk, and his gradually aging face turned red.

Sitting next to him, Koharu Utatane and En Mitokado looked at the furious Third Hokage and sighed slightly.

Since this incident broke out, the Third Hokage's emotional control has become increasingly weak.

Realizing that he had lost his composure, this was not good. As the leader of the Konoha Ninja Village, the Hokage needed to calm down and deal with anything he encountered, and he could not get angry because of personal emotions.

Taking a deep breath, the Third Hokage gradually calmed down his anger.

"The Daimyo's Mansion has received news that the Daimyo wants to invite Daimyo from various countries to attend a party in the Daimyo's Mansion, and Konoha needs to send ninja troops to protect them."

Such gatherings happen once or twice every year.

Logically speaking, the Third Hokage should have been used to it.

The original reason why he was angry was that he used to mobilize people to go to the Daimyo's Mansion, but this time, the Daimyo clearly did not trust him and specifically asked Uchiha to dispatch a team from the police department to go to the Daimyo's Mansion.

"The Daimyo does not trust us, and he specifically asked Uchiha's people to go there and take on the protection work."

"......."

No wonder you are so angry.

Koharu Utatane sighed:

"In the past, such tasks were directly assigned by the Hokage Office Building. I didn't expect this year... Alas~~"

The situation was beyond their control. In order to stabilize the Daimyo, Konoha could only choose to continue to retreat.

"Then this year's party..."

Mitomono hesitated.

They didn't want Uchiha to always get involved in such things, otherwise, it would be easy for the Daimyo to turn to Uchiha to stand up for them, and the Uchiha would secretly support the Daimyo.

This situation must not be allowed to happen.

However, the Daimyo didn't give them money, which made them have to bow their heads and retreat.
