"What did you say? Do you suspect this is Uchiha Clan's conspiracy?"
In the brightly lit Hokage Office Building, almost when Shōji secretly went to 'visit' Orochimaru under the cover of night, Shimura Danzō also appeared in Sarutobi Hiruzen's office, and even called Mitokado Homura together. Utatane Koharu and Utatane Koharu were two close consultant friends. Just when the three of them had just sat down, the words Shimura Danzō spoke directly made Sarutobi Hiruzen's face suddenly change. Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu looked stern and dignified.
Apparently, before coming here, he got the corresponding information from Shimura Danzō.
No coincidence.
Danzo undoubtedly showed off his ruthless and sinister abilities again.
He directly forcibly linked the disappearance cases that occurred during this period to the Uchiha Clan, and completely pinned this crime on the Uchiha Clan.
"You say that, do you have any evidence? Danzo? During this period of time, Uchiha Clan has been very peaceful, and there is no news from Shisui and Shōji. Don't infer everything based on your conjectures!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Shimura Danzō closely, with a sharp look in his seemingly cloudy pupils at this moment, and said in a deep voice.
Since Shōji's speech on that Clan Meeting.
Uchiha Clan is indeed under the deliberate guidance of Fugaku and Eight Great Elders, and is much more peaceful than in Original Work. At least there are not as many words of resentment as in Original Work. From an outside perspective, Uchiha Clan has not deliberately further intensified conflicts during this period of time.
And for more than half a year.
Dozens of the Uchiha Clan members also fought hard on the front line for Konoha. The information from Shisui also proves that Uchiha Fugaku, the patriarch, has been suppressing and calming the special atmosphere in the clan.
Shōji was added to Hokage directly under Anbu as expected by Sarutobi Hiruzen, everything about Uchiha Everything is developing in the right direction that Sarutobi Hiruzen himself expects. This Third Hokage really doesn't believe that Uchiha Clan will make some mistakes at this time.
"Haha, speculation? Hiruzen Sarutobi, of course I have my own reasons for saying this. The number of missing people in the village has been increasing. After Anbu launched an investigation, the number and frequency of missing people are still increasing. Last week, another group of patrols disappeared, but Anbu has never been able to find the person behind the scenes. Doesn't this explain anything?"
"This is a crime committed by an insider in our village, and Uchiha Clan, who controls Military Police Force, is the most suspect. Otherwise, why can't we explain that among so many patrol officers, members of other families are missing, but Uchiha Clan is not the only one?"
"As for the Shisui Uchiha and Uchiha Shōji you are talking about, I have already said that Uchiha Clan is not worthy of belief! Besides, taking a step back, the two of them are indeed trustworthy, but they can really know Everything that happened in the clan? The patriarch is Uchiha Fugaku, and Eight Great Elders is the direct elder of the two of them. What do the senior people like Uchiha Clan want to do? Isn't it easy to hide it from them?"
"Don't forget Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack a year ago! Hiruzen Sarutobi!"
Danzo snorted coldly and said this in an extremely sinister tone.
He has no evidence, and he knows better than anyone who is the real culprit behind this missing case, but this does not prevent Danzo from blaming all this on the Uchiha Clan. This can not only divert Third Hokage's attention, but also further force Uchiha Clan. This is a strategy that Danzo believes kills two birds with one stone!
Listen to Danzo's words.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's brows frowned.
I have to admit that Sarutobi Hiruzen was indeed shaken at this moment. The shaking point was not that he did not trust Shisui and Shōji, but the latter sentence. If someone in the clan wanted to hide Shisui and Shōji, they should be able to do so.
After all, at this point.
Not to mention Shōji, Shisui has not yet exposed his Mangekyō Sharingan.
Therefore, from the perspective of Sarutobi Hiruzen, the two young men can only be regarded as the strong Elite Jōnin. Although there is no one in the Uchiha Clan who is stronger than the two of them, it is still possible to find a clansman who is at the same level as the two of them, but is only slightly weaker.
In addition, both of them are still just teenagers, let alone people who hold high positions in the clan.
It does make sense that some things are unclear.
but!
Sarutobi Hiruzen always felt that the problems inside were not that simple, because Uchiha Clan had no reason to do these things. Even if he was really dissatisfied with the village, he would not say anything else. According to the Uchiha Clan's habit, he would always put forward his opinions directly. Sarutobi Hiruzen would not be surprised if there was even another coup.
He had made corresponding preparations before.
Treat it just like the Uchiha rebellion during the reign of his teacher Second Hokage Tobirama Senju.
What Danzo said is not Uchiha Clan's style.
But the same is Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack a year ago. The scarlet and dark Sharingan is so clear that no one in the Uchiha Clan seems to know it, including Shisui and Shōji who are only 12 and 14 years old.
From this aspect, it is indeed very appropriate.
"Hiruzen Sarutobi! Uchiha Clan must be restricted immediately, at least their Military Police Force authority. In addition, I propose to immediately arrest the Uchiha security members who were patrolling the nearby area when someone disappeared that day. I seriously doubt that the murderer a year ago is now Uchiha Clan A certain person in, or even a certain group, even if it is just like what you said, not all Uchiha Clan will have problems, but there will definitely be problems with some people, Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack, it is impossible for one person to do it! Military Police Force of the Uchiha Clan must be thoroughly investigated!"
Danzo stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen with extremely deep eyes and said in a cold tone.
"Hiruzen Sarutobi, I also think what Danzo said makes sense. Although it is not 100% certain now, the possibility is still there, and it is not really necessary to do anything to the Uchiha Clan, but to temporarily restrict Uchiha Clan, it is just a matter of summoning some Military Police Force personnel for review. I think if Uchiha Clan really has no problem, they will definitely not resist this. Once they resist, it will prove that they have a problem!"
I saw Sarutobi Hiruzen still thinking deeply.
Mitokado Homura on the side also directly spoke in agreement.
Better to kill by mistake.
Don't let it go.
This is Mitokado Homura's opinion.
After all, the current village cannot afford Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack again.
