It's not the case that there is no way out, who would take the risk to plan a coup.
"Xiaochun is dead!? What's going on!"
The Third Hokage swayed, and when he heard the news, he was stunned, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
Compared with the other companions, Xiaochun and Menyan are his most powerful supporters, and they have been offering suggestions by his side all the time.
Hearing the news of Xiaochun's death suddenly, he couldn't accept it for a while.
"At the Naruto Assistant Office, when we became aware of the situation, Master Xiaochun was already dead."
Darkness replied.
"Lord Hokage..."
Fuyue was about to interject, he saw that something was wrong, but Uchiha's matter is so urgent...
He didn't want Sandai Hokage to worry about any assassin.
If it is a drama performed by the Three Hokages, the first thing to do is to release the two Uchiha tribesmen.
"I'll take a look!"
The Third Hokage looked at Fu Yue with a deep expression, and his tone was very indifferent.
His kind smile completely disappeared at this moment, and Uchiha's people touched his bottom line!
Uchiha Fugaku in front of him has the biggest suspicion!
The Third Hokage suspected that it was Uchiha Fugaku's conspiracy, and took the opportunity to cut out the village's high-level officials and force a coup d'état!
There is a huge crisis of trust between the village and Uchiha.
"Master Hokage! Do you doubt me?"
Fuyue felt the murderous intent emanating from To Sandai Hokage.
He realized that the Third Hokage was really not acting this time.
"Most of the ninjas of the Uchiha family are in the police department, and the rest are also in the family. This matter is definitely not the work of the Uchiha family!"
"Is it true, I don't know yet!"
The Third Hokage replied indifferently.
In his tone, he was full of doubts about Uchiha!
It seems that Uchiha is the murderer who killed the sleeping Koharu.
At present, only Uchiha in the village has this kind of motivation, and at the same time, he still has the opportunity to pay.
Uchiha is in charge of the village's police and is able to walk around the Hokage building.
He guessed that it was very likely that Uchiha Fugaku deliberately designed to transfer the tribe away, leaving the elite ready to assassinate the high-level Konoha at any time.
Now it's Xiaochun who is going to sleep, and he is next?
The Third Hokage's inner vigilance against Uchiha Fugaku has been raised to the extreme.
Anyone who feels danger will subconsciously take precautions.
Under his gaze, the surrounding Anbu instantly entered a fighting state, and the atmosphere was very depressed for a while.
At this time, a presumptuous greeting suddenly rang in everyone's ears.
"Hey, the Third Hokage is so lively here!? The Fugaku patriarch is actually here!"
71 It's Your Turn, Danzo
Just as the group was about to leave, they ran into Uchiha Shiraha who was coming to hand in the task.
"Sandaimu, I'll hand in the quest. The last quest in the Oni Land is complete! Hey, the leader of the Fugaku clan is here too! What a coincidence."
The shadow clone, Bai Yu, spoke out.
This time, it is completely expressing his sense of existence.
The shadow clone has a perfect sense of reality, and if you don't use force to break it, you won't be able to identify his authenticity at all.
"Humph!"
What responded to him was a cold snort from the Third Hokage.
At this time, Sandai Hokage was full of doubts about Uchiha.
Fu Yue frowned and looked at Bai Yu, and asked, "Did Itachi not come back with you?"
"I'm back, I'll hand in the task, he went to the hospital."
The shadow clone Bai Yu replied.
"Itachi is injured?"
When Fu Yue heard the news that Uchiha Itachi was going to the hospital, he stopped immediately, ignoring the emotions of the Third Hokage, and hurriedly asked.
His tone was full of concern.
"No, we caught a wooden ninja who pretended to be Anbu and attacked me. I broke both legs and captured him alive. Itachi took him to the hospital for treatment!"
Bai Yu replied.
As soon as he said this, the body of the Third Hokage visibly paused.
"Wood Dun!? Are you sure you read it right!"
Uchiha Fugaku frowned, this term is very familiar.
The legendary figure who was once overwhelmed by the Uchiha breathless, the first Hokage was the strong man who used the wooden escape, and was recognized as the god of ninja in the ninja world at that time.
The Third Hokage turned his head, took a deep look at Bai Yu, and pointed to Anbe next to him with his eyes.
That Anbu immediately understood, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Fuyue, accompany me to see Assistant Xiaochun!"
Third Hokage's tone was a little slow, and a faint voice came.
Uchiha Fugaku just had the idea of holding the wooden ninja in his hands, and was crushed to death by the third Hokage in an instant.
"Yes... Hokage-sama!"
Fu Yue replied, and he also signaled Bai Yu with his eyes to inform Itachi.
But Bai Yu, the shadow clone, did not move at all. His purpose was to stabilize the Third Hokage, how could he leave the Third Hokage.
The shadow clone inherits half of the chakra of the original owner, and also inherits all the fighting will of the main body.
What Bai Yu is good at is not chakra, but exquisite sword skills.
From the point of view of Yufeng swordsmanship without chakra, the shadow clone has all the strength of Baiyu!
He is a thunder that Bai Yu puts beside the third Hokage, a dark thunder that may explode at any time.
After learning the shadow clone, Bai Yu noticed the horror of ninjutsu for the first time.
Especially for a swordsman who does not rely on chakra, this is equivalent to doubling his combat power.
"What is this for?"
Bai Yu followed behind Uchiha Fugaku and asked softly.
The Third Hokage did not allow Uchiha's clansmen to leave, and after Bai Yu handed over the mission scroll to an Anbu casually, he ignored it.
"A great man died in an assassination."
Uchiha Fugaku responded in a low voice, he was worried that Bai Yu would offend the Third Hokage at this time.
The current situation is unclear, and he is not willing to conflict with Konoha's senior management.
Under the leadership of the third Hokage, a group of people came to the place where Zhuanju Koharu was killed.
The whole scene was very clean, there was no trace of a fight, except for a pool of bright red blood on the table at Zhuanzhu Xiaochun's desk.
"Have you tidied up the place?"
The Third Hokage had just arrived here, and asked with a frown as he didn't see the body of Tsubaki Koharu.
A pool of blood swept across the table, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
After all, he was an old partner for decades, so easily killed, his heart was full of anger and there was nowhere to release it.
"No, Hokage-sama! Only the Anbu comrades from the corpse disposal team took away Xiaoharu-sama's body, and the rest of the objects have not been touched!"
The leader of the dark army who was in charge of investigating and handling the scene of the crime said immediately, he could deeply feel the anger in Sarutobi Hiruzen's tone.
No one wanted to, nor did they dare to bear the anger of the Third Hokage at this time.
"Why did you only receive the news after the person died that Hokage's assistant is located in the center of the village, and even her life cannot be guaranteed, so can you protect my life?"
Three generations of Hokage reprimanded loudly.
A member of the Hyuga family shrank back, not daring to make a sound.
Before the incident, he heard the reminder from his companions, and then he used his eyes to see the change in Zhuanxiaochun's office.Then the assassin flew away.
Finding the crime should also be the main responsibility of the Anbu ninja who is responsible for perception.
It was supposed to be them as the main perception task, but in the end it was the turn of the substitute Inuzuka ninja to discover the problem first.
"Master Hokage, the assassins never used Chakra during their infiltration. I suspect that it has a connection with the enchantment class. It may be a family plan in the village!"
The Anbu ninja in charge of perception immediately stood up and said.
Of course he is unwilling to take the blame for this. If he takes over the blame, the family will be severely hit by the forces of the Naruto Department.
This kind of thing, except for Uchiha, no one can take it.
Even the Hyuga family couldn't bear the pressure of the Naruto family.
"I see! Who will discover the anomaly first today?"
The Third Hokage knew that now was not the time for accountability, so he changed the subject and asked.
Anbe from the Inuzuka family came out.
The Third Hokage sized him up and praised him, "Not bad."
