My ninja cat thought I was weak and stole the thunderous fruit

Konoha Village.

Hokage's office.

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen was standing alone by the window, admiring the bright moonlight.

The friction between the village and the Kumo ninja finally came to an end today.

Perfect fall.

"Without the threat from Yunyin Village, I can focus on the internal unity of the village."

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought to himself.

Ever since the Nine-Tails Rebellion, there has been a estrangement between the village and the Uchiha clan.

"If this barrier cannot be eliminated smoothly, the Uchiha clan will be a time bomb in the village."

Although there are excellent ninjas like Shisui and Itachi who have inherited the will of fire in the Uchiha clan, compared with the huge clan, they are still a drop in the bucket.

However……

Just when Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking about these trivial matters, there was a knock on the office door.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's thoughts returned to the real world, "Come in."

As the visitor received approval from Sarutobi Hiruzen, he pushed the door open and entered.

When he reached a certain position, he knelt down on one knee and lowered his head slightly.

"Hokage-sama."

"Let's talk." Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the ANBU who came and returned to his seat.

"The ninjas of Hidden Cloud Village attempted to kidnap Hyuga Hinata..."

Before the ANBU ninja could finish describing the incident, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes widened in shock and he stood up from the position of Hokage with a loud sound.

"What?!"

For a moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that his mind went blank.

Didn't Yunyin Village just sign a peace agreement with them?

Why did you do something like this in the blink of an eye?

Is the peace agreement just a piece of waste paper in their eyes?

Moreover, Hinata's identity is no small matter.

To put it mildly, she is the daughter of the Hyuga clan leader.

Speaking more seriously, she is the future heir of the Hyuga clan and the ninja with the purest Byakugan!

Once taken to Yunyin Village for human research.

The secret of Hinata's Byakugan is likely to be cracked and become the power of Kumogakure Village!

"What about Hinata?"

"Did you get it back?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked urgently.

"Not only were they chased back, but the ninjas who held her hostage were also killed, but..."

"Just what?" Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his eyebrows, "Say."

"The person who killed those ninjas seems to be Uchiha and Kaze."

When the ANBU ninja finished speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen froze on the spot.

He was no stranger to the name Zefeng.

Just two days ago, Shisui, who reported the Uchiha's direction, mentioned him.

The ninja who claimed to blow up the roof of Fugaku was Zephyr.

It was caused accidentally when he was developing new ninjutsu.

I thought this was just an inconspicuous episode.

Unexpectedly, only two days had passed, and I heard Zefeng’s name again!

Then, the ANBU ninja explained the whole incident clearly.

Although they did not witness Zefeng's battle, according to Hinata Hiashi.

It was Zefeng who single-handedly eliminated one jounin and four chuunin, and rescued Hinata.

The key is……

Not only was Zefeng unscathed, he was not even stained with dust or blood.

"I also checked the bodies of those Cloud Ninjas..."

"The fatal injury was indeed not caused by Rou Quan."

As the ANBU directly under the Hokage.

They took care of the bodies a lot.

You can never go wrong when it comes to investigating the cause of death.

"You mean that chuunin named Zefeng easily defeated the enemy?!"

When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard this, he took a deep breath on the spot.

If it were Shisui and Itachi, he wouldn't be so surprised.

But it happened to be this Japanese style...

He remembered very clearly that during the Third Ninja War, when he was only five years old, Zephyr went to the battlefield with his parents.

Although his strength was mediocre and he had not opened the Sharingan, considering that his parents sacrificed their lives for the village, when Minato Namikaze became the Fourth Hokage, he proposed to promote Zephyr to Chunin.

In other words, in terms of strength, Zefu is just a genin in the village.

But it happened that this genin in my mind was the one who first developed the thunder escape ninjutsu, and then eliminated the jounin of Kumogakure Village!

eccentric……

It's really weird.

"Moreover, the Uchiha station is located on the edge of the village. If he didn't have a clear goal, how could Zefeng go to that place?"

Is it possible...

This guy Ze ​​Feng has been hiding his strength?

But why do you want to show your strength at this juncture?

For a moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen racked his brains and couldn't figure out Zefeng's motives.

However, one wave comes after another...

Just when Sarutobi Hiruzen was trying to digest this information.

Another high-level figure in Konoha came to the Hokage's office in a hurry.

He has short black hair, and his right eye is tightly wrapped with a white bandage.

It's Danzo!

In the ANBU team directly under the Hokage, he has long been placed as an informant.

When he learned about the big event that happened tonight, he put down all the work in his hands and came here.

"Hiruzhan, you must have heard about it, right?"

"Danzo." Sarutobi Hiruzen half-closed his eyes, but he didn't expect that his information would be so well-informed.

"What do you think the truth is?"

Danzo looked directly into Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes and omitted the polite words.

In his opinion, what happened tonight was enough to threaten Konoha.

"The first truth is that Hyuga and Hizu killed the Kumo ninja leader, and then passed the problem to the Uchiha people, thus clearing up the relationship between the Hyuga clan and the incident."

"Why does Ke Zefeng appear there?"

"It's hard to explain."

As he spoke, Danzo stretched out the index finger of his right hand.

Then, he extended his middle finger.

"The second truth is that the man Rizu didn't lie. When he arrived at the scene, Zephyr had already eliminated all the Kumo ninjas."

"But, the Uchiha clan has always had a higher destiny than the sky. Why did they want to save Hinata?"

"And where did they get the information from?"

"What exactly do you want to say, Danzo?" Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned.

He actually knew exactly what Danzo wanted to say.

But he needed Danzo to speak out.

"What I want to say is..."

"That brat Ze Feng has probably been hiding his strength."

"The reason why he appeared in that place was because of the Uchiha clan's pupil technique. They secretly cast genjutsu on the Kumo ninja, and they were able to learn about their plan."

"However, they did not report this to us."

"Instead, Zephyr was sent to rescue Hinata."

"Presumably, that guy Fugaku wants to win over the Hyuga clan, right?"

"Although he voluntarily withdrew from the campaign for the Fourth Hokage back then, the Uchiha clan's support for him becoming Hokage has never weakened over the years."

"On the contrary, it's getting higher and higher."

"But you and I both know very well that the Uchiha clan is not worthy of trust."
