The Steady King of Konoha

Faced with Uchiha Shinichi's pretending to be stupid, Sarutobi Hiruzen was filled with hatred, but he had no choice but to say sadly: "Hatake Sakumo is dead."

"Nani? Hatake Sakumo, the famous strong man in Konohagakure Ninja Village, is dead? Who did it, the Third Generation? We will dig his body into pieces even if we dig three feet into the ground!"

A look of grief appeared on Uchiha Shinichi's face, and he gritted his teeth and vowed to find the murderer and avenge Hatake Sakumo, but his eyes were staring blankly at Shimura Danzo who was standing next to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Regardless of whether Danzo Shimura did it or not, it is right to put the blame on him. After all, one of the important functions of the root is to take the blame. When the daimyo died suddenly, when the sow was lost in the village, it was all his fault.

That's right.

In fact, Uchiha Shinichi's actions seemed a bit redundant. The heads of the large and small organizations present turned their attention to Shimura Danzo as soon as Sarutobi Hiruzen told the bad news.

Danzo Shimura snorted coldly and said, "What do you want me to do? I have been resting at home tonight and haven't gone anywhere."

The Hyuga clan clan leader with white eyes in his eyes took a step forward, made a seal and saluted, and said: "With Hatake-sama's strength, it is impossible for anyone to kill him silently. We all know this, but what I want to ask is

Yes, why did Hatake-sama commit suicide?"

"The ninja's heart is extremely tough. Unless they encounter inhuman torture, who would choose to commit suicide?"

The words of the Hyuga clan caused many ninjas to whisper in agreement, and they all thought that someone forced Hatake Sakumo to death, but who...no one dared to say.

The Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan have joined forces to launch a rare attack, not only for justice, but also for their own interests. With Hatake Sakumo's strength, military exploits and status, even if he will be forced to death by the higher-ups, who of all the people present would dare

Are you patting your chest to ensure that this kind of thing will never happen to you in the future?

Although Hatake Sakumo is dead, it does not mean that this matter is over. Everyone needs the high-level statements and commitments to ensure that this matter will not happen in the village next.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had already expected this. We are all smart people. This kind of naked conspiracy works well once, but if it is used again, it will make people look like fools, so he immediately expressed his stance.

"Hatake Sakumo's death was caused by bad comments caused by a failed mission. The village will investigate this strictly."

"Danzo, send the ninjas from the root to arrest everyone who spreads rumors in the village and blockade the entire street."

Uchiha Shinichi was stunned for a moment. This was originally the responsibility of the Security Department, but now it was assigned to the root. He couldn't help but said: "Sandaime-sama, isn't there something wrong with this?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at him and said: "The security department is responsible for going to the capital to report this situation to the daimyo, and at the same time express a strong protest on behalf of the village."

"After all, you are all nobles, so it's easier to communicate."

Uchiha really opened his mouth, wanting to say something to refute, but couldn't.

He really couldn't say that the Uchiha clan has been a proper noble since the Warring States Period. Not only that, in terms of blood relationship, the contemporary daimyo is really related to him by blood, but that was a marriage concluded decades ago.

, has long since lost its effect.

This is one of the important reasons why the Uchiha clan really wants to enter the decision-making level. They can have someone to help them when encountering problems, instead of just following orders and obeying them like they are now.

Seeing that Uchiha Shinichi acquiesced to the arrangement without saying a word, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded with satisfaction, and then he was in a dilemma.

Although Hatake Sakumo was said to be dead, his body was extremely important, and Shimura Danzo expressed his intention to obtain it more than once.

The corpse of a shadow-level expert, and one whose brain is not damaged, is of great research value. Regardless of other things, its rich reserve of ninjutsu is a huge treasure. The Hatake clan has no

He is a blood descendant and the clan members have no special talents, but Hatake Sakumo is one of the few strong men in the village. The mystery behind this is very exciting.

After hesitating for a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen decided to ask other people's opinions to see their attitudes. After looking around, he asked by name: "Nara Shikake, please tell me about the burial."

After being named, Nara Shikken's expression changed and he immediately returned to normal. After making a seal and saluting, he said: "I believe that Hatake-sama has made outstanding contributions to the village and the Fire Country, so he deserves a grand burial."

"We should choose a day for the event, summon all the jounin in the village who have no tasks, and ask the daimyo to send important ministers to participate. The funeral must be extremely grand."

After seeing everyone nodding in agreement, Nara Shikken continued: "As for Hatake-sama's body, I suggest that it be temporarily stored in the Hokage Building to facilitate the condolences of the villagers."

There is nothing wrong with the first part, but there is a big problem with the second part. It is very inappropriate to put Hatake Sakumo's body in the Hokage building. Otherwise, what are they doing here? They can just wait in the Hokage's office.

Uchiha Shinichi immediately looked at the expressions of everyone behind him, and then said: "As for the preservation of the body, I think it is most suitable to place it in the Hatake clan's clan. After all, the Hatake clan still has bloodline, and it is not a real successor.

People."

For family ninjas, the continuation of the bloodline is more important than anything else. After Hatake Sakumo's death, Hatake Kakashi, as his only son and the only surviving male of the Hatake clan, naturally became the clan leader. Although

This clan leader exists in name only, but the clan leader is the clan leader. He can enjoy all the political resources and cultivation resources of the Hatake clan, and no one has the right to deprive them of them.

From a superficial point of view, the issue of placement of the corpse is harmless. After all, Hatake Sakumo was a ninja of Konoha Ninja Village during his lifetime. There is nothing wrong with leaving the corpse in the Hokage Building except for exposing the secret of the corpse. But the Hatake clan is still there, and Kakashi

If you're still alive, that won't work.

Placing it in the Hokage Building and enjoying the condolences of the villagers can only prove that Sakumo Hatake is a meritorious ninja of Konoha Village, but placing it in the condolence of the Hatake Clan can prove that the family is still there, which has a completely different meaning.

This is also an important reason why so many families are willing to follow Uchiha Shinichi. The resources owned by the family were given by the first Hokage when the village was founded. As long as there is an heir in the family, the village cannot take it back even if it is in dire straits.

This is the bottom line for the ninja family to survive, and it is also one of the reasons why they are willing to fight for the village.

Moreover, the corpses of the family ninjas hide huge secrets. No one hopes that one day they will be completely cracked, not even the village.

Seeing that everyone was opposed to Nara Shikken's proposal, Danzo Shimura snorted, but said nothing, simply expressing his displeasure.

The public was outraged. Upon seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately rejected Nara Shikken's suggestion and adopted Uchiha Shinichi's suggestion.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and occasionally the sound of a rooster crowing could be heard, and everyone dispersed with satisfaction.

Shimura Danzo walked to the opposite side of Hayama with a gloomy face and stared into his eyes for a long time.

"The Uchiha clan can protect you for a while, but they cannot protect you for a lifetime. The days are still long."

Hayama didn't care at all about what Shimura Danzo said and said with a smile: "Based on my age, I will definitely live longer than you."

Shimura Danzo's face turned terrifyingly dark, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, and he left without looking back.
