Chapter 31
"Humph, these are all wishful speculations. The Fourth Hokage took the initiative to die with the demon fox in order to save Konoha. Although I am just a businessman, I still know this information." As the owner of this dumpling shop, facing the criticism and slander of his idol, Santaro looked at the diners with dissatisfaction. His many years of experience in treating people told him that these people were not simple.
"Oh? Then why couldn't the Sandaime be the one who died together? You know, it was the Sandaime who first fought against the demon fox. Could it be that the Fourth Generation forcibly pushed the Sandaime away and took the initiative to die?"Shuiyun looked at the stubborn meatball shop owner with a mocking face.
"this........."The shop owner thought that no one would do such a stupid thing, and he didn't know how to refute it for a while.
"Haha, nothing to say? Besides, what is the will of fire that Konoha has been promoting? Sacrificing the young Fourth Generation to restore the old Third Generation? Is this the will of fire? Anyway, if I were the Third Generation, I would not have the face to do such a thing."Tiemu chewed the meatball in his mouth and cursed the person who rolled the meatball.
"Who says it's not true? Although I, Harumigiri, am only a Chunin, I was also a sword for Konoha's juniors during the Third War. If the death of the Fourth Hokage was not planned by the Third Hokage, it would be even more unreasonable. Let the juniors take the knife for themselves? Tsk tsk, it's even more disgusting. He is the Fourth Hokage's master."Forgive me, the Third Hokage. Everything is for the great cause of Danzo-sama.
"You~you guys! Where is the security department? Where are the people from the security department? Is there anyone here to take care of it?" Suppressing his already shaken faith, the boss of the meatball shop hurriedly changed the subject, trying to intimidate the few people to leave by using the security department.
"He is anxious~ He is anxious~"
"This guy has been speaking for the third generation from the very beginning. Could he be an accomplice of the third generation?"
"What you said is possible. After all, what does the third generation have to do with him, a small boss?"
"Everyone stay away from him, so as not to be splashed with blood when the reckoning comes."
"Let's go, let's go. It's better not to eat this meatball. If you are mistaken for an accomplice, you will die unjustly."
For a moment, all the diners in the restaurant scattered like birds and beasts. Some of them were worried about being implicated, but most of them wanted to use this opportunity to escape.
No one cared about the shop owner who had lost both his faith and money. The same thing was still happening in various places in Konoha..........

Nara clan
"Shikaku, what should we do? The whereabouts of the Sandaime-sama are unknown, and there must be something wrong with that guy Danzo. Maybe he is the one who caused the Sandaime's disappearance."Looking at Nara Shikaku who frowned, Yamanaka Inoichi said with indignation and suspicion
"Crunch~Crunch~"
"So what if he did it? Are you going to attack the only remaining elder of Konoha without any evidence? Be careful of being treated as an accomplice of the Sandaime, you know the style of that guy Danzo."
Alas, the Sandaime has been steady all his life, how come he fell into Danzo's hands? I'm afraid he will have a hard time now. According to Danzo's past behavior, Konoha may undergo great changes in the future.
"Crunch~Crunch~"
"What does it mean to be careful of being mistaken for the Sandaime's accomplice? With our past actions, who would believe us if we said we were not in the Sandaime's group? Shikaku, think of a solution quickly. With Danzo's character, we will not have a good life in the future."Damn it, judging from Danzo's previous combat power, he can never be a match for the Sandaime-sama. Could it be that other forces have intervened? Uchiha? Or Hyuga?
"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. As long as we don't take the initiative to admit it, no one will dare to touch us. Konoha can do without the Third Hokage, but it can't do without Ino-Shika-Chou. I can't see the current situation clearly. It's better for us to stay still and not take the initiative to provoke Danzo."It's okay if life is a little difficult. I don't think Danzo would dare to do anything to Ino-Shika-Chou. After all, there are Uchiha and Hyuga to support the sky.
"Shikaku, I think we should prepare for the rainy day. No matter what Danzo does, we can't just sit there and wait for death. We, Ino-Shika-Chou, are different from the Hyuga clan who are lying flat, and we are also different from the Uchiha clan who are being targeted without power. If Danzo wants to get to the top, the Hyuga and Uchiha clans are not the ones he needs to deal with urgently, but us."The Ino-Shika-
Chou clan has always been the minions of the ruling Sandaime. They may not be as powerful as the Uchiha and Hyuga clans in terms of resources, but they definitely have more power than the former two. Danzo is in urgent need of consolidating power, so the first ones to be targeted are not the Uchiha clan that Danzo has always disliked, but himself, Ino-Shika-Chou and others.
"I understand what you said, but the problem is that the Sandaime is missing, and we have been labeled as the Sandaime. The things that Danzo revealed have already caused public outrage. If we jump out and no one can find the missing Sandaime, wouldn't that be courting death?" Nara Shikaku supported his brows with both hands, and his mind began to work rapidly.
"Is there nothing we can do? Can we just let Danzo slaughter us?"This is a family business that has been passed down for generations. We have finally made it to the core of Konoha's power, but now we are back to the time before liberation or even worse? It's really unacceptable.
"We can't break the current bad situation by ourselves. We can only unite with external forces to fight against Danzo. Ding Zuo, please find a way to contact Tsunade-sama and Jiraiya-sama. I will meet with Uchiha Fugaku later. I believe the Uchiha clan should be in a bad mood at this time. After all, they are the ones who have been targeted by Danzo."Since the three tribes of Ino, Shika and Chocho cannot face this situation alone, let's win over other allies to face it together.
"This is good. Compared to us, the Uchiha clan should really hate Danzo more. And with the Uchiha clan joining, it will not be so easy for Danzo to move against us. But, will the Uchiha clan, who are arrogant, pay attention to us?"Shikaku is indeed a man who makes a living by his brain. He came up with a solution so quickly.
"That's why I asked Chozu to contact Tsunade-sama and Jiraiya, the Uchiha clan......It's just to be on the safe side. After all, we have offended them a lot in the past by relying on the power of the Third Hokage."Although based on his understanding of Uchiha Fugaku, he should not be a person who bears grudges, but the Uchiha clan is not a clan leader who has the final say.
""Okay, we'll do as you say, but our focus is still on Tsunade and Jiraiya-sama, we can't count on the Uchiha guys." Compared to the unruly Uchiha clan, Yamanaka Inoichi is more willing to trust Jiraiya and Tsunade, the two disciples of the Sandaime.
"Crunch~Crunch, I agree with Haiyi, the Uchiha clan is really unreliable." Ding Zuo, who had been stuffing high-calorie food into his mouth, finally found time to speak.
