It's another of his disciples, Orochimaru.
Orochimaru's golden snake eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment.
The war took away his parents, and he narrowly escaped death several times on the battlefield. But when he returned to the village, what awaited him was such ugly internal fighting that he even had to fight swords with his teammates.
Moreover, he had performed missions with Sen, and he knew the other person's character well, and would never believe that he would be such a crazy person.
"Teacher, we should investigate the truth of the matter first." Orochimaru's voice was hoarse and calm, "If the people being experimented on today were members of the Sarutobi Clan's tribe, your reaction wouldn't be much better, right?"
Being stopped in public by two of his closest disciples one after another, Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned on the spot for a moment, with mixed feelings in his heart.
What the hell is going on?
Obviously today is the day of victory in the war. Land of Fire As the victorious country, Konoha should have been immersed in cheers and glory.
But now, the two disciples stopped him face to face. If Jiraiya hadn't stayed with Land of Water, I'm afraid the three of them would have stood together without hesitation.
Thinking of this, the ice-like murderous intention in Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart finally melted slowly. He put down his hand tiredly, looked at Sen opposite, and said in a deep voice, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly. But from now on, no one is allowed to go near Shimura clan's station!"
"Who would be interested in going to a station that can't even stop two people?"
Sen raised his eyebrows lightly, and once again punctured Sarutobi Hiruzen's newly established authority with one sentence.
For him, the purpose of weakening Hokage's prestige has been achieved today. Third has been in power for many years and has a deep foundation. It cannot be achieved overnight. What he has to do is to erode it step by step!
The conflict came to an end for the time being, and the crowd automatically separated into a channel.
Sen waved his hand and motioned for his men to follow. When he passed by Sarutobi Hiruzen, he did not stop and said in a cold voice, "A month ago, Third said he would give us an explanation, but to this day, there is still no explanation. War could be used as an excuse before, but now?"
He drifted away, but the clear voice accurately reached the ears of every ninja present. "It seems that Hokage's work efficiency is getting lower and lower. If it can't be done anymore, I can volunteer myself and share the worries of the village!"
Watching Sen lead Police Force away, Sarutobi Hiruzen drove away everyone, leaving only Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura.
"Hiruzen, don't take it seriously, they just don't understand your painstaking efforts as Hokage." Utatane Koharu stepped forward to comfort him, "The so-called human experiments only sacrifice some insignificant civilians.
If the national power is weakened due to this and the war fails, the entire village will be in ruins. Your decision is not wrong."
Sarutobi Hiruzen ignored her relief and asked directly, "Where is Danzo? You must give me an explanation for this matter!"
"In your home." Mitokado Homura said at the right time, "The most dangerous place is the safest place."
"It's a good place." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, but the confusion on his brows deepened, "Is it necessary to go to this point? Isn't it possible that Anbu in the village can't protect him alone?"
He was filled with doubts. The information sent back by Shadow Clone before was extremely limited. He only thought that Sen and Danzo encountered each other in the wild, causing a conflict. At most, Danzo was defeated and defeated.
But now it seems that the seriousness of the matter is far beyond his imagination.
"Let's talk as we walk." Utatane Koharu shook his head and led the way first.
On the way, she slowly spoke, "At first, I thought it was just the two of them who encountered each other. Later, Root and Anbu rushed to support."
As she spoke, she took out a scroll marked top secret from her arms and handed it over. "But the fact is that Danzo brought more than twenty elites from Root to set up an ambush, but he was killed by him alone. Uchiha Sen's ability has exceeded the scope of common sense."
Sarutobi Hiruzen took the scroll and used a special technique to unlock the seal. After just a few glances, his face suddenly turned pale.
His lips trembled slightly, and he recited the information on the scroll in a low voice. Every word was like a huge stone pressing on his heart: "Mangekyō Sharingan----Copyable Kekkei Genkai----Susanoo----Eye Technique Time Plus"--
--Another pupil technique is Space Compression"?"
"What kind of monster is this!" Sarutobi Hiruzen took a breath, "This ability is comparable to Teacher Tobirama, no, it is even weirder in some aspects!"
As soon as the words fell, the three of them arrived at Sarutobi Hiruzen's mansion.
Utatane Koharu followed the agreed code and knocked on the door rhythmically. At the same time, he lowered his voice and added, "Moreover, this is not the most terrifying thing. Uchiha Sen is ruthless and has a deep secret. According to the intelligence, the predecessor Clan Leader Uchiha Sōgaku may have died at his hands."
Uchiha Fugaku, the candidate we originally supported as the next Police Force president, became completely disheartened after the battle with him. He stayed behind closed doors all day long, and his spirit seemed to have suffered a devastating blow."
Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head helplessly. At first, he just thought that Danzo had made the same mistake as before, and he could always make up for it by thinking of a way.
But now he realizes that this is no trouble at all. These are clearly mountains that weigh him down and make him breathless.
He was obviously returning home victoriously, ready to enjoy a moment of peace, but in the end he was even more exhausted mentally and physically than he was on the battlefield.
With a "squeak" sound, the door opened.
Shimura Danzō has been waiting for a long time. When he saw Sarutobi Hiruzen, he said eagerly, "Monkey, you are finally back! Come on, join forces with me to eradicate the scourge Uchiha Sen immediately!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and cursed, "Has your arm been connected? If outsiders see it, do you know what the consequences will be? Doesn't that mean telling the world that your human experiment evidence is conclusive?!"
"How long has it been, and you still care about this!" Danzo waved his hand nonchalantly and let a few people into the house.
"Now Uchiha Sen is probably stronger than any of us. His ambition to covet Hokage Position is clear! With his extreme personality, once he gains power, not only will the future of the village be in trouble, but everything we have worked hard for many years will be destroyed!"
"How strong is he?" Sarutobi Hiruzen hits the point directly.
Recalling that battle, a trace of fear flashed in Shimura Danzō's eyes, and he said solemnly, "It's unfathomable. More than twenty Root Jonin, plus me, not only did not take advantage of him at all, but were defeated by him like a torrent. I feel that his strength has firmly surpassed Kage Level.
In terms of strength alone, he is indeed qualified to sit in that position."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent, and he slowly sat on the tatami he was most familiar with.
In the past, just sitting here could feel unparalleled comfort and peace of mind.
But now, he was sitting on pins and needles, feeling uncomfortable all over.
Utatane Koharu intervened at the right time and concluded. "In other words, our only advantage now is Konoha High Command's identity and the ability to unite most of the forces in the village to fight against him?"
"He has obviously seen through this." Sarutobi Hiruzen took out the pipe from his arms, lit it, and took a deep breath, "So everything he did today was to weaken our authority step by step. He clung to the matter of human experimentation, which is simply an unsolvable conspiracy."
"If we don't give an explanation, our prestige will be eroded away by him bit by bit; if we give an explanation and admit Danzo's crime, then our prestige will collapse instantly!"
Some things don't weigh as much as four or two unless they are put on the scale, but once they are put on the scale, they cannot weigh even a thousand pounds! Once they are put on the table, their nature changes completely!
Hearing this, everyone frowned. None of them expected that a teenage boy could be so thoughtful.
At this moment, Shimura Danzō quietly gave Mitokado Homura a look.
