Sarutobi Hiruzen's Lies

"You were attacked by Kurosuki Raiga, and you were able to kill him in a face to face confrontation?"

Shisui checked the body on the ground.

After confirming that it was indeed Raiga of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, he became even more surprised.

As one of the seven the ninja swordsmen, the strength of the Raiga is naturally not bad.

And Yuta, who could kill Raiga in a frontal battle, no matter how he looked, had the combat power of an Elite Jōnin.

At such a young age, he has such strength!

Shisui thought that at Yuta's age, although he was already famous on the battlefield of the Third Ninja World War, he did not have a record of killing an Elite Jōnin.

"He came here specifically to kill me. He knew that I would be stationed here today, and he even knew my detailed strength."

"In addition, the ninjas stationed in the two nearby strongholds should have been killed."

Yuta said with a serious expression.

However, he did not say that Danzo was behind the scenes.

After all, this news came from Obito, and it was not a light matter.

Hearing Yuta's words, Shisui's face changed immediately.

There are only two possible reasons for this to happen.

Either the people of Konoha sent the information to Kirigakure, or Kirigakure planted a spy in Konoha.

The latter is okay but...

If it is the former, who would do such a chilling thing?

Almost instinctively, Shisui preferred to believe the second reason.

It would be better if Kirigakure had installed a spy.

After a moment of contemplation, Shisui said, "It just so happens that the invasion operation on Kirigakure's side is basically over. After going back soon, I will report the matter to Lord Hokage."

He believed that Lord Hokage could give him an explanation.

"I hope so."

Yuta said so, but he didn't have any hope in his heart.

...

Rear command center.

After Sarutobi Shinnosuke read the report in his hand, his face was not very good.

"That Uchiha Yuta actually killed one of the seven ninja swordsmen. This brat is getting stronger and stronger."

A genius in the Uchiha clan is not good for the Sarutobi clan.

"The other two people who were stationed in the stronghold were killed, and he was the only one who survived in the three adjacent strongholds. Hey, it's really good luck." Sarutobi Kaze said with a bitter face.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke frowned, and suddenly recalled the fact that a ninja had checked the records of the garrison.

He felt as though he had noticed something.

Could it be that the purpose of Raiga's attack was to kill Yuta, and this assassination was related to the root?

He became more and more certain of his conjecture.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke ordered, "Go to Uchiha's side to inform them, and immediately send Raiga's body back to the village, saying them to get the information in his mind as soon as possible."

After the command, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.

If this matter is really related to the root, that would be bad.

...

Hokage Building.

"Lord Hokage, I wonder how the investigation is going on about the attack of Raiga? Was there some spy in the village who sent my information to Kirigakure?"

Yuta, who had just returned to the village, asked.

There was no expectation in his heart.

Even the corpse was transferred in advance by Sarutobi Shinnosuke, and it was impossible to investigate and obtain evidence on his own.

Now, about the reason, this old guy Sarutobi Hiruzen will just talk nonsense, right?

As predicted, Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "A spy from Kirigakure got into Konoha. They obtained the information about your strength, and planned an attack on you."

"Don't worry, if the village's own people betray their companions, no matter who they are, I will never tolerate them."

Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke with a just and righteous expression, as if he had the determination to even kill his relatives if they were the culprit.

If Shisui was here, he would have believed it by now.

However, Yuta sneered in his heart.

Never tolerate?

What a joke!

Sarutobi Hiruzen made a few more perfunctory sentences, and then opened his mouth with a warm face.

"Speaking of which, Yuta, you went directly to the battlefield after you became a Chūnin, and you haven't decided where to go. How about it, do you want to consider taking a job at Anbu?"

Hiss-

Yuta almost exploded with anger. He couldn't help but be shocked by Sarutobi Hiruzen's thick skin.

What is this?

He has no shame? !

It was Danzo who gave the information to Kirigakure, and he didn't believe that Sarutobi Hiruzen hadn't found out about this.

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't give him a proper explanation, and was just perfunctory.

Now he wasn't even embarrassed to recruit him to join the Anbu?

"Sorry, Lord Hokage, I plan to join the police force so that I can spend more time training."

Although his inner thoughts were surging, Yuta calmly refused.

"Okay!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't hide the pity on his face, and gave a few words of encouragement.

Seeing Yuta leaving the Hokage building, Sarutobi Hiruzen's face turned ugly.

"Anbu, tell Danzo to come!"

In his opinion, the reason why Yuta rejected his solicitation was all Danzo's fault.

Although he was sure that Yuta didn't know that Danzo did it, Yuta didn't even get any information about this "Kirigakure spy".

In this case, it was inevitable that the other party would be dissatisfied.

If Danzo hadn't acted on his own, he would now be able to take Yuta and Itachi, the two new Uchiha geniuses, into his hands.

It didn't take long for Danzo to arrive.

As soon as he saw Danzo, Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "Danzo, look at what you've done!"

Of course Danzo knew what Sarutobi Hiruzen was talking about.

He said indifferently, "Isn't it okay? Even if Raiga's body is handed over to the Uchiha, they won't be able to find anything."

Since Aburame Torune was responsible for doing this mission, Danzo was confident that nothing was left behind.

The only pity was that Yuta's strength was misestimated.

Kirigakure sent one of the seven ninja swordsmen, but still failed to kill him.

Danzo didn't think he had done anything wrong in his heart.

His resentment of Yuta even increased a little.

"Is it okay?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to laugh angrily.

"Now Yuta obviously has no trust in the village, is it okay?"

"If you hadn't acted on your own, there would have been one more Uchiha leaning towards the village today."

Danzo frowned coldly, "Yuta is not the same as Itachi, even without this, I don't think he would join the Anbu."

"Furthermore, the power of the Uchiha clan is too strong."

"Take Yuta as an example, give him a few more years and he will be the next Shisui."

"Now that the Uchiha clan has become more and more dissatisfied with the village, what if they stage a coup?"

"In this case, wouldn't it be a good thing to get rid of one of Uchiha's geniuses early?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned.

He smoked his pipe, and did not speak for a long time.
