“Lord Hokage is here.”
As the villagers cried out in surprise, under the escort of more than twenty Anbu Ninjas, Sandaime strode across the street and arrived outside Uchiha’s land.
Recently, there had been a lot of things in the village, making him, an old Hokage, more and more tired.
No.
It was already so late. The third generation had just returned home and was preparing to tease his precious grandson Konohamaru. However, he received a report from the Anbu, saying that the police department had gone to Uchiha territory to arrest people.
The person they wanted to catch was Uchiha Shisui.
After receiving the news, Sandaime did not even have time to eat dinner before he hurriedly put on Hokage’s robe and rushed to the scene.
He came.
He saw the scene of Uchiha Dan defeating Hyuga Hiashi, lifting the latter up and throwing him into the crowd.
He also saw Shisui behind him, and found that the latter’s eyes had been recovered again, and he could not help but be surprised.
With the arrival of Sandaime.
The members of the police department were overjoyed, as if they had seen their savior. They quickly reported to Sandaime,
“Lord Hokage, Uchiha Shisui attacked the members of the police department. Uchiha Dan not only covered his crime, but also attacked Captain Hiashi. He is simply lawless!”
“You must seek justice for the police department!”
These people were intimidated by the power and momentum of Dan, so they could only ask Sandaime for help, hoping that Lord Hokage would appear and severely punish Uchiha’s clan.
When Sandaime heard this, he first made a gesture to calm everyone down. Then he came in front of Hyuga Hiashi and asked with concern, “How are you?”
“I’m fine, Lord Hokage.”
Hiashi tried hard to pretend that he was fine, but everyone could see that Hyuga Clan leader’s self-esteem had been greatly damaged.
Although Hyuga Hiashi had long seen the terrible strength of Dan, and knew that they were probably not a match for each other, he had never expected that –
He had lost so thoroughly.
He had been defeated by Dan, and he had failed to hold on for even a minute.
Tonight.
He, as Hyuga number one expert, was defeated by Uchiha’s number one expert in front of everyone. Moreover, he was defeated without any suspense.
Didn’t this mean that Hyuga was far inferior to Uchiha?
Sandaime patted Hyuga Hiashi on the shoulder as a sign of comfort.
Then.
He turned around and looked at Uchiha people with a serious face.
For today’s matter, he, as Hokage, had to uphold justice for the police department and Hyuga’s clan.
“What is going on? Who can answer me?”
Sandaime slowly opened his mouth, his eyes sweeping over Dan, Shisui, Yashiro, and the others.
He, who had been in a high position as a Hokage for 40 years. His high and mighty image was deeply engraved in the hearts of people, and his every word and action exuded the dignity of a superior.
Under Sandaime’s gaze.
Shisui’s expression changed.
Yashiro, Kenzo, and the others subconsciously felt fear, as if a student who had done something wrong was standing in front of Sensei, not even daring to breathe.
Only Dan had a calm expression.
Not only did he ignore Sandaime’s aura, he also slowly raised a hand, as if he was going to do something dangerous.
In an instant.
“Lord Hokage, be careful!”
A group of Anbu immediately rushed forward and surrounded Dan, waiting for Sandaime to give the order before attacking.
Ever since the end of the last Clan leader meeting.
Regarding Uchiha Dan’s ability, Anbu conducted a lot of analysis and research. They also specially selected people to form an elite team to launch a series of tactics against the Dan.
No one could be so arrogant in front of Hokage.
The former Uchiha Madara couldn’t do it, and the current Uchiha Dan can’t do it either.
Facing the group of Anbu who were facing a great enemy.
Dan expressionlessly raised his hand, and then… scratched the back of his head.
He was not interested in fighting with Sandaime and Anbu.
The only thing he cared about was the result of Hashirama’s cell transplant operation in the ancestral land behind him.
Thus.
After Dan’s hand scratched the back of his head, he pointed at Hyuga Hiashi, and said to Sandaime,
“I took action to teach him a lesson because he injured Uchiha first. As for Shisui, let him explain himself.”
After that, he turned to look at Shisui.
Shisui took a deep breath, took a step forward, and bowed to Sandaime.
“Lord Hokage, I have indeed injured someone from the police department. I am willing to plead guilty and be punished. I will be sent to prison.”
As soon as he said this.
“He admitted it!”
“Humph, so many people have seen it. He can’t deny it even if he wants to. The felony committed by Uchiha Shisui is enough for him to stay in prison for more than ten years.”
Everyone in the police department was in a good mood and wanted to put shackles on Shisui immediately.
Sandaime frowned and looked at Shisui with a puzzled face.
“Why did you do this?”
In his impression, Shisui had never done anything excessive since he was a child. He would never be as overbearing as other Uchiha.
Could it be that Shisui had been affected?
Just as Sandaime sighed in his heart and felt disappointed with Shisui.
“Because I found two suspicious people at that time and wanted to track them down. I didn’t expect to be stopped by the police department. In a moment of desperation, I had a conflict with the police department.”
Shisui answered honestly.
Oh?
Sandaime’s eyes focused and asked, “What suspicious person? Did you find out the identity of the other party later?”
Shisui nodded and said honestly,
“Those two people were the murderers who killed the patrol team of the police department three days ago.”
What ? !
Hearing Shisui’s answer, there was a commotion in the group.
Did you hear it right?
The police department had mobilized in full force, and Konoha had searched for the criminals for a few days, but not a single one was found, but Uchiha Shisui found out?
Moreover, when Shisui was going to arrest the criminals, he was stopped by the police department?
If that was the case.
Didn’t that mean that it was the police department who had dragged Shisui down in the matter of capturing the prisoners?
Thinking of this.
Many of the people present had strange expressions on their faces.
Hyuga Hiashi reacted, he could not help but be shocked and angry. he immediately scolded Shisui,
“Uchiha Shisui, what evidence do you have to prove what you said? Where are the two criminals? Where did they go?”
In his opinion.
Shisui’s words were not only an excuse to absolve himself of his crimes, but also throw a basin of dirty water to the police department.
Too hateful.
Shisui glanced at Dan.
After receiving the approval from the latter, he took out a storage scroll and opened it in front of everyone.
“Bang!”
After the white smoke dispersed, Hiruko appeared in front of everyone.
This is…
In an instant, hundreds of eyes looked over.
Although Hiruko was smashed into pieces by Dan’s fist, it could still be seen that this was the hunchback man captured in the surveillance video. His wanted poster had already been posted all over Konoha’s streets.
In other words, Shisui was not lying.
When Hyuga Hiashi saw Hiruko clearly, his face suddenly changed greatly and he cried out in his heart.
What Shisui said next made the last trace of hope in the hearts of the police department completely disappear.
“Lord Hokage, what you see is actually a puppet. The large number of hidden weapons in its body and Scorpion’s tail are all coated with special poison. I believe that this poison can be compared with the poison that was inflicted by the people who were killed three days ago.”
Shisui said confidently to Sandaime.
Puppet?
Sandaime was also very surprised and frowned. “In other words, the real murderer is a puppet master?”
“That’s right.”
Shisui nodded and said the name of the murderer in public, “The other party is Sunagakure’s traitorous Sasori of Crimson Sand. He has more than one puppet, also Sandaime Kazekage! Unfortunately, he escaped.”
The name of Sasori of Crimson Sand caused an even greater commotion in the group.
Although many people did not understand Sasori, Sandaime Kazekage were the strongest Kazekage in history, equally as famous as the third generation Hokage.
Someone who could kill the third generation Kazekage and turn him into a puppet must be an unimaginable strong enemy.
No wonder the police department couldn’t catch him.
However.
Such a terrible enemy was finally discovered and beaten away by Uchiha.
One must know.
In the past few days, the entire Konoha was in a state of panic because of the murder of the police officers.
They were afraid that the murderer would attack again.
Until now, when Shisui took out Hiruko’s remains, the villagers could finally be at ease and go back to sleep.
It had to be Uchiha.
At this moment, many villagers had this thought in their hearts.
Although Uchiha’s people were arrogant and domineering, they had the confidence to be arrogant, and that was their powerful strength.
Seeing this, Dan especially echoed Shisui and added,
“It’s really a pity. If not for the police force deliberately making things difficult for Shisui and delaying him for quite a while, I think he wouldn’t have let Sasori of the Crimson Sand escape outside the village.”
Hearing Dan’s sentence.
The people of the police department, led by Hyuga Hiashi, suddenly looked as if they had eaten an answer.
The surrounding villagers were even whispering.
“Aren’t the people of the police department just making trouble? Why did they do this?”
“It should be because they are jealous of Uchiha. Hyuga’s people have always been dissatisfied with Uchiha, but I did not expect that they would bring this emotion to work and openly target Uchiha’s people.”
“Too incompetent.”
“…”
These discussions made the police department feel like sitting on pins and needles, wishing they could find a hole to get in.
Sandaime glanced at the people from the police department, shook his head in disappointment, and sighed.
After tonight, the truth of this incident spread, and the police department was destined to lose face.
However.
Sandaime did not care about the face of the police department. Instead, he looked serious and continued to ask Shisui,
“Shisui, where is the other prisoner? Did he escape like Sasori of Crimson Sand?”
Under everyone’s gaze, Shisui took out a storage scroll and opened it.
This time, it was a woman’s corpse.
“This is Orochimaru.”
Shisui said another name.
Boom.
Like a sudden clap of thunder, the crowd burst into an uproar after a brief moment of shock.
There was an uproar.
Many Konoha villagers were not familiar with the name Sasori of the Crimson Sand.
But Orochimaru was different.
Who was Orochimaru?
The disciple that Sandaime was most proud of, the head of the famous Konoha Sannin, had made outstanding contributions in the second and third great war of the Ninja Realm. There was no one in Konoha who did not know him.
Unfortunately.
A few years ago, Orochimaru defected from the village to become an S class rebel.
Otherwise.
After Yondaime died, Orochimaru might even become the fifth generation Hokage.
