Chapter 424 The Third Hokage Is in Big Trouble
Whether it is a ninja village assassinating the daimyo of their own country, or a daimyo deliberately framing the leader of a ninja village, if this matter gets out, it will be a shame for both parties.
As long as the person is not caught and there is not enough evidence, it is the enemy who did it.
It must be the enemy who did it.
The shadow behind the daimyo moved for a moment, and soon returned to normal.
"Sarutobi Hiruzen........"
When the name of the third generation Hokage was mentioned, the daimyo's thin face became a little distorted.
Before the assassination of the daimyo's mansion, he had asked many people to investigate, and the final result was that there was no result.
But those who received the money clearly guaranteed that this matter was definitely not done by a wandering ninja, and the probability of a traitor was very low.
If a wandering ninja has that strength, why would he do such a thing? He can be a boss anywhere, so there is no need to take risks.
As for the traitor...
Before the rise of the Akatsuki organization, various assassination cases of important figures in various countries were pitifully few, and not everyone had the strength of the Akatsuki organization.
Most of the rebel ninjas don't have time to hide, so how dare they show up and do things that will lead to being hunted down.
Konoha found a group of rebel ninjas and killed them, but these rebel ninjas were just for show.
Konoha was just pretending to give the daimyo an explanation. If it wasn't a big deal, the daimyo wouldn't investigate it and would just let it go.
But after the daimyo investigated it, he knew that these people were not the murderers at all.
The murderer might be sent by the third generation of Hokage.
The purpose was to scare him and make him be honest and live a peaceful life.
Being assassinated by the ninja village, he was so scared that he ran to Konoha to hide. This was a great shame for the daimyo.
Although there was no evidence that it was the third generation of Hokage who did it, the third generation of Hokage had the greatest motive, so it was right to go straight to him.
Konoha was getting more and more lively every day.
A large number of anti-war villagers and ninjas gathered on the street in front of the Hokage office building to protest. In the past, protests would only gather a group of people during the day and evacuate at night.
But this time it was different, because there were too many people protesting, and it became a round-the-clock protest. When one group of people got tired, another group would take over.
Faced with the situation where most villagers were angry, the Hokage Office Building did not even dare to drive these people away, and could only keep issuing announcements, hoping that everyone would understand.
When the villagers were unwilling to disperse, the Third Hokage had no choice but to give up.
Since they could not be dispersed, nor could they be forced to leave, so be it.
At present, it was the only way.
The Third Hokage was overwhelmed, but Jingyi was like nothing had happened, either resting at home or going to the Anbu base to handle official business.
No matter how many people protested, it had nothing to do with the Anbu.
As long as the spies were not active and the Anbu had few tasks, Jingyi could go to work leisurely and be lazy, but it was a pity for the people in the police department, who were exhausted.
The villagers protested, and they also needed to send many people out to maintain order.
To prevent chaos, not only order must be maintained, but these people must also be protected. During this period, everyone in the police department was busy enough.
Fortunately, Uchiha Mikoto has privileges and does not need to patrol or be on duty. She can just sit in the office and sort out documents.
"Sir, this is some special intelligence that I have collected. There may be enemy spies in the village."
In the minister's office, Hatake Sakumo, wearing a mask, saluted in a formal manner and put the intelligence scroll on the table.
Jingyi picked up the scroll and said helplessly: "Senior, there is no need to be so polite in the office."
Hatake Sakumo nodded and stood straight.
Seeing this, Jingyi could not say anything else and could only follow him.
However, Hatake Sakumo is worthy of being the patriarch of the Hatake clan and the leader of the new generation of Konoha strongmen. He has not been in the Anbu for a long time, but he has completed many more tasks than other team leaders.
Such a speed makes all the team leaders of the Anbu feel ashamed.
Considering Hatake Sakumo's strength, everyone can accept it in their hearts. There is only envy, not jealousy.
You are so strong, you can do it.
Judging from Hatake Sakumo's contributions, it won't be long before he becomes the squadron leader.
What's lacking is only time and the number of missions.
"Huh........."
After opening the scroll and glancing at it for a few times, Jingyi, who was leaning on the back chair, sat up straight and made a surprised sound.
"Senior, is the information accurate?"
"Accurate."
Hatake Sakumo nodded in response.
After lowering his head and reading it carefully again, Jingyi was silent for a few seconds, then slapped the table and laughed:
"Hahahaha, it seems that our Hokage is going to be unlucky, this is really adding insult to injury."
"........."
Hatake Sakumo's face behind the mask showed an embarrassed expression.
Is it really appropriate to laugh at the Hokage like this?
The protest against the war has already troubled the Third Hokage. Until now, the ninjas sent to fight have not been selected. As a result, some people in the village began to spread the news that the Third Hokage embezzled public funds and misappropriated public funds to develop his own family.
No, not only his own family, but also the Shimura clan.
Who is the smart one who spread this news? The timing is really good.
The Third Hokage was in a state of panic, worrying about how to give the villagers an explanation so that their anger would be quenched and they would agree to let the village participate in the war.
As a result, the troubles here have not been solved yet, and new troubles have come.
Jingyi can already imagine how much trouble the Third Hokage will face after these news spread.
"My lord, is all this true?"
Hatake Sakumo's tone was a little uncertain.
Under Jingyi's influence, he was sure that the Third Hokage was not a good person, at least not as simple as he seemed on the surface.
But embezzling the village's financial funds to develop his own family and the Shimura clan, this is too scary.
No wonder the village's finances are not healthy, and it was short of money before.
How much money was embezzled?
"Eight or nine out of ten."
After holding back his laughter and answering this question, Jingyi finally couldn't help laughing again.
It's not that he is not kind, it's really that the Third Hokage's bad things have been dug up, which really makes people want to laugh.
It's really satisfying.
Finally, you are unlucky.
If it weren't for the fear that Tsunade would be difficult, Jingyi would have wanted to help the Third Hokage promote it a long time ago.
Now it's good, someone has helped.
I hope the Third Hokage won't be pissed off.
"Senior, I didn't see this information today." Jingyi put away the scroll and placed it neatly on the desk.
"Uh... yes."
Hatake Sakumo had already guessed what Jingyi was going to do. The Anbu didn't deal with these things, at least not immediately, and needed to be prepared.
Jingyi would delay for a few days and deal with it after the news spread.
As for whether the Third Hokage would be deposed because of this, Jingyi didn't care about it.
The more unlucky the Third Hokage was, the happier he was.
