Konoha: Start with omniscience and omnipotence

Chapter 90 [090] Light and Fire

Four days later,

Konoha, Hokage Building.

"."

"I didn't expect that there would be so many twists and turns during this mission."

Slowly smoking his pipe, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke in a heavy tone, and carefully read the mission summary report submitted by Aida Masaki and others.

The only people standing in this office were Aida Masaki, Namikaze Minato, and five other people except Tachibana Sakuta.

This is the last surviving number of the seven frontline elite teams.

"But fortunately you are back."

Saying that, Sarutobi Hiruzen breathed a sigh of relief.

However, if you look carefully, you can find a flash of doubt in his eyes.

"Thank you, Sandaime-sama, for your concern."

As the current representative of the team, Aida Masaki took the lead to stand up and responded with a polite but distant tone: "It's just that you would like to investigate the intelligence leakage issue of this mission as soon as possible."

"Based on the clues of this incident, we all suspect that there is an intelligence leak within Konoha."

"Um."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded deeply: "Aida-kun, next I will set up a special team to investigate this case."

"When the time comes, I ask for your cooperation."

Aangda Masahui lowered his head slightly: "It should be so."

"Okay, you guys are tired after so many Japanese people sleeping in the open air."

"Go back and rest first."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked solemn and spoke righteously: "In short, I will give an explanation to my dead companions."

"yes."

Aida Masahui and others bowed slightly, their expressions were heavy.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi paid a little more attention to their expressions at this moment, he would probably be able to detect the gloom deep in the eyes of the 'survivors' present.

However, his mind at the moment was entirely on another thing.

After Aida and others left the office, they saw Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly walking from his desk to the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Hokage Building and looking out.

He was smoking a pipe intermittently, and his forehead was wrinkled into a small ball.

Looking into the distance of the forest of death.

'Danzo this guy'

'How can you do things with such rough hands and feet?'

He complained a little more in his heart, but after sighing for a long time, he still began to think about how to deal with the aftermath of this incident.

This time, too many people who did not deserve to die died.

On the contrary, this Aida-kun was unscathed.

"People with roots have somewhat regressed."

After completing the mission report, Aida and his team exited the Hokage's office together.

Probably because there were too many things going on, everyone was in no mood to relax and just wanted to go home early, take a bath and sleep.

So, after agreeing to meet in a few days, Aida's team dispersed.

Only Namikaze Minato remained.

After the two of them left the Hokage Building and were almost out of the surveillance range of the Telescope Jutsu, Minato walked beside Aida Masaki and lowered his voice and said seriously:

"Jiang Hui, tell me everything."

"What do you want to do by bringing 'him' back?"

The so-called ‘him’ naturally refers to Tachibana Sakuta.

Aida Masaki has always been a promoter of maximizing benefits and does not like any form of waste - naturally the same is true when it comes to talents.

Therefore, after he finished speaking in the woods, he did not kill him immediately, but chose to bring Tachibana Sakuta back so that he could witness everything with his own eyes.

At the same time, it also allows Minato, Ruri, and Takashi to witness everything.

This world provides the strongest educational feedback to people,

Nothing is too realistic.

Hearing Minato's question, Aida Masaki smiled gently and retorted: "You shouldn't ask me what I 'want' to do."

"It's about what I 'expected'."

Hearing this, Namikaze Minato was speechless for a moment.

However, he didn't have any words that could be used to dissuade him.

Even deep down in his heart, this incident also touched him extremely deeply.

However, compared to his personal honor and disgrace, Minato was more afraid of the subsequent chain reactions caused by this incident - that is, he not only wanted to make things bigger, but he was also afraid that the village would become unmanageable.

As a result, the emotions in my heart are naturally chaotic.

"Then what did you expect?"

Aida Masaki and Namikaze Minato walked side by side on Konoha Avenue and bought two skewers of three-color rice dumplings from a street stall.

He handed one to Minato, without answering directly, but said:

"Minato."

"Elimination on the physical level is actually a very empty thing."

"Because whether it is replacing one person or a group of people, it is a very simple matter."

"Even if Danzo is gone, there will still be Kurozō, Hakuzo, Musashi, and Kojiro."

"Killing treats the symptoms but not the root cause."

"So, if you want to really bring about qualitative changes in many people, you must start from another direction."

".Hmm, so sweet."

Aida Masaki took a bite of the dumpling, turned around and asked, "Do you know what is the most unacceptable thing for a rotten tree root?"

Minato thought for a moment and frowned:

"What's up?"

Aida Masaki smiled and said calmly: "In a long process, I want him to experience it bit by bit, practically and from the bottom of his heart."

"Ah, that rotten thing, is it me?"

"thump."

Tachibana Sakuta knelt down in the center of the living room, looking up with his head blankly.

Under the chandelier in the living room, a knotted curtain hangs down.

A woman in simple pajamas hangs like a kite, her long hair hanging loose.

On this autumn day when the weather is getting colder, the smell of corpses is getting stronger and stronger, and it can spread far away if you open the window even slightly.

On the table in the living room, there is a letter marked "Suicide Note".

He sat there in a daze for who knows how long, until his legs were so sore and numb that he could no longer feel anything. Then he seemed to gradually come back to his senses. He staggered and got up from the ground, as if chasing a life-saving straw in the flood.

, picking up the envelope on the table with trembling hands.

He opened the envelope and read it.

The beautiful small characters on the letter paper impressed him deeply.

However, what was written above was all written in a prophetic tone, describing his disdain for his late boyfriend "Tachibana Sakuta" as a betrayer, and his apology for the dead ninjas, hoping to be able to

A death can ease the turbulent tide of public opinion in the village and calm everyone's anger.

However, at this moment, Tachibana Sakuta's face became uglier the more he read, and the mocking smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but arouse, and his laughter was hoarse than the roar of a ghost.

Until the end, he couldn't help roaring, tearing the letter into pieces and throwing it to the ground.

Why?

Because the village has not had time to send back the news of his death, let alone the truth that he betrayed his companions on the battlefield, and the public opinion trend of the family of the deceased has not had time to be incited!

Obviously, this is an answer sheet that will be handed over to ‘everyone’ after everything is settled.

But, now he discovered it in advance.

"Danzo. Danzo!!"

Tachibana Sakuta was lying on the ground, with veins bulging on his forehead, looking as ferocious as a night owl and roaring in a low voice.

The deepest fire in his heart was aroused.

At the same time, the words Aida Masaki said to him became increasingly heavy.

'After all, you are the traitor who killed everyone.'

How could a mere traitor be capable of killing a village elder?

I don't even know where Danzo Shimura is.

Moreover, with his current status, there is absolutely no possibility of him staying in the village for a long time.

Aida-kun is indeed right.

He is just a fool who has been broken and doesn't realize it.

"etc."

"If it's really useless, then why would Aida-kun let me come back?"

"What can I do?"

Hatred and anger drive the brain to spin rapidly.

Thinking about it, Tachibana Sakuta stood in front of the balcony and looked at the extremely eye-catching Hokage Building under the Shadow Rock in the distance.

Businessmen and nobles from all over the world came and went.

Gradually, a faint fire seemed to light up in his eyes.

"Traitors indeed deserve to die."

People will always become weak because they love others.

But that's nothing to be ashamed of, because that's not real weakness.
