"Lord Hokage, my ANBU team received a special secret mission last night. The mission was completed this morning and delivered in the evening, but then I realized that there might be some problems with this mission."
On the roof of Hokage's office building, Yuhara began to explain what he had experienced today to Fourth Hokage, who was overlooking the night view of Konoha.
"Secret mission... what secret mission?"
Fourth Hokage began to carefully recall whether he had assigned any important tasks to ANBU in the past two days.
Then Yuhara's next words made him unable to hold his nerve any longer.
"The mission to secretly arrest a certain Uchiha Jonin."
"Hmm... huh?!"
Fourth Hokage suddenly turned his head, his eyes fixed on Yuhara's face urgently... When did he give the order to arrest Uchiha.
"Tell me the details. I have never given such an order."
Then Yuhara explained the matter from beginning to end, and after he completed the summary of the incident, he added two final sentences,
"Lord Hokage, since this was not your order, there is one bad news and two good news that need to be explained...
The bad news is that Uchiha has been handed over to someone unknown, and I don't know if he can be successfully recovered.
The good news is that I have captured the captain Gojo who faked the order."
"You are very vigilant and can respond in time and report the matter to me, which is commendable." Fourth Hokage praised Yuhara, and then continued, "Where's the other good news?"
"Another good news is that the mission is carried out very secretly. Uchiha Clan will definitely not be able to find evidence that the ANBU has ever dealt with them."
Fourth Hokage: "..."
This... well, this is really good news for the whole situation.
"Where's the ANBU squad leader?"
"I'm tied downstairs."
"..."
Then Fourth Hokage dispatched his most trusted ANBU ninjas. They followed Yuhara to find the ANBU team leader who was tied downstairs, and then they quickly sent him to the Interrogation Department.
After giving the order to complete the interrogation as quickly as possible, Fourth Hokage left Hokage's office building directly. He ran to the Sarutobi Clan's mansion to find Third Hokage has discussed this matter...Minato Namikaze, who just came on stage, is not sure what kind of reaction Uchiha will have next, so he still has to consult his seniors on this matter.
As a witness to the incident, Yuhara also temporarily stayed with the Interrogation Department.
To be honest, Yuhara didn't doubt this at first, because he took it for granted. He thought that the disappearance of a Uchiha ninja was not a big deal, because in his impression, after Uchiha's highest combat power Shisui "disappeared", Uchiha Clan's reaction was still to hold it in for a long time.
Although it can be concluded afterwards that the disappearance of Uchiha Shisui was the trigger of the Uchiha Clan rebellion, at the time, Uchiha's response was very lagging.
Uchiha Shisui is like this, let alone the ordinary Uchiha ninja.
But Uchiha Clan's reaction will not be too violent and Hokage will directly issue orders against the Uchiha Clan. There is no causal relationship between the two. It does not mean that because Uchiha Clan will not explode easily, then the new Fourth Hokage will go to death to stimulate them.
After realizing the contradictions, Yuhara naturally discovered various problems in this task.
After a surprise interrogation all night long, at dawn, inside Hokage's Office.
At this time, only four people, Third Hokage, Fourth Hokage, the person involved in the incident, Yuhara, and the person in charge of the interrogation, Inoichi Yamanaka, were staying here.
Ino-Shika-Cho Clans is the direct descendant of Hokage, so there is no problem with confidentiality and loyalty... At this time, the hands of some scapegoats have not reached that far.
"Third, Fourth Hokage, the interrogation results are out."
Inoichi Yamanaka took a document and began to explain the results of the surprise interrogation, "Gojo is a ninja trained by Root Organization. The task of capturing the Uchiha ninja does exist. The capture process is similar to the information I learned before, but...
Who gave him such an order, and who ultimately took over this Uchiha ninja? The key information in his mind has been blocked, and there is no way to know."
This result is somewhat unexpected. Although everyone can guess who the "murderer" is, without clear evidence, no one can do anything to him, because the person can completely deny it.
In a sense, this is considered clean from beginning to end.
Third Hokage started smoking cigarettes because he knew Shimura Danzō wouldn't even sell his face.
"What is the purpose of capturing Uchiha Jonin alive... Uchiha Tetsu, I seem to have heard of this name." Fourth Hokage asked.
Inoichi Yamanaka said, "There are no effective clues about this from the ANBU team leader, but Uchiha Tetsu's identity is very clear... He is the grandson of the Uchiha Clan's predecessor."
"In other words, this Uchiha Tetsu is the core ninja of the Uchiha Clan? The core ninja, captured alive..." Third Hokage became thoughtful, "It seems that someone is still particularly wary of Uchiha."
From the attitude towards the Uchiha Clan, Shimura Danzō is the biological disciple of Second Hokage.
The conversation in front of him and Uchiha Tetsu's identity made Yuhara's thoughts move, and he seemed to have remembered something.
Shimura Danzō would attack such a Uchiha ninja, most likely for Uchiha's various secrets. What he wants is not only Sharingan, but also Sharingan's "Secret Techniques".
You must know that the later Shimura Danzō was someone who could use "Izanagi". This was Forbidden Technique of the Uchiha Clan. It had been abused before, so this technique was later hidden. Even ordinary Uchiha people could not know this technique. So how did Danzo know about it?
Did you hear it from your former teammate Kagami Uchiha? This possibility is not high. Kagami Uchiha was so full that he introduced Uchiha Clan's Forbidden Technique to Danzo who did not have Sharingan?
Look at Danzo's face and humanity. Would his former teammates love him so much and talk about everything?
A bit outrageous.
So the most likely thing is that Danzo himself has mastered such a secret through some methods.
Even if such news comes from the research of Second Hokage who is extremely vigilant about Uchiha, and later Shimura Danzō discovers this research, then he also needs to verify the authenticity of Uchiha Secret Techniques...
So could these speculations have anything to do with what's happening?
But no matter what, Shimura Danzō is really insidious. If ANBU ninjas are used to perform such a task, even if something goes wrong, the matter will become Hokage's business... Don't expect Uchiha to distinguish between ANBU and Root Organization. To Uchiha, ANBU is ANBU.
After thinking about this speculation, Yuhara didn't worry too much about whether it was true, because whether it was true or not had nothing to do with him.
What about the Uchiha ninja he doesn't like?
It fell into the hands of Shimura Danzō.
Where is the ANBU squad leader who used him?
He stabbed me in the back.
Who made the credit in this incident?
Of course it's him Yuhara.
So is this a good thing or a bad thing?
Um, are there any downsides?
"The other party's injuries are too severe, which prevents us from using more extensive interrogation techniques."
Inoichi Yamanaka defended himself a little, saying that he did not play a big role this time, and it was indeed because the subject being interrogated had only one breath left.
As he said this, he glanced at Yuhara involuntarily...
Yuhara smiled back, but unfortunately he had a mask on his face and Inoichi Yamanaka couldn't see his expression, otherwise the other party would have been even more angry.
"Let me go talk to Danzo." Third Hokage said.
Regardless, this matter must be resolved.
To be honest, in Yuhara's opinion, Shimura Danzō can jump around casually, and he quite likes Danzo's jumping around, because...
If Konoha can allow the roots of Danzo to operate wantonly, then there is no reason why Konoha cannot allow other organizations that are more moderate and more beneficial to the development of Konoha to exist.
