Konoha's Inheritance Master

Chapter 458: Conspiracy Ci Xian comes to complain
The daylight hours in early spring are always short.

The night slowly unfolded like a black ribbon, and the lights of Konoha gradually lit up.

The small streets and alleys in the village are illuminated by soft lights, giving off a warm atmosphere.

In the Sarutobi clan's land, smoke rises from the cooking pots, spreading the aroma of the dishes, making people salivate.

At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen was in the underground secret room.

In the dim secret room, a large number of ninjutsu scrolls were displayed, which were the treasures of Sarutobi Hiruzen's life.

But when he saw Sarutobi Hiruzen smoking a cigarette and stroking a set of armor hanging on a hanger, an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes.

Behind him, the clan leaders of the three clans of Pig, Deer and Die were sitting on their knees, silent.

"Tuna Uchiha is back."

The cold voice of Sarutobi Hiruzen sounded in the secret room.

The three of Nara Shikaku heard Sarutobi Hiruzen address Uchiha Tunan by his full name, and they immediately knew that there was a deep gap between Sarutobi Hiruzen and Uchiha Tunan.

However, the three of them didn't show anything strange. Obviously, as the heads of the clan, they were not surprised by this kind of power struggle.

"According to what he said, he discovered an enemy who had been hiding in the ninja world for thousands of years. He pursued him for so long but lost him."

"Shikaku, what do you think?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not disclose too detailed information, so he handed over the problem to Nara Shikaku.

Nara Shikaku quickly analyzed Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, and after a few breaths he muttered:
"If the other party has really lived for thousands of years, then the other party is very powerful."

"But since he chooses to hide, either his strength is only limited, or he has a stronger enemy looking for him."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded when he heard this. After taking a few puffs of cigarette, he thought about it and revealed a little more information.

"The history of thousands of years ago has long since disappeared with the turmoil of the Warring States Period."

"According to the information brought back by Uchiha Tunan, this person is called Ci Xian and he is a monk."

Nara Shikaku lowered his head, a strange color flashed in his eyes, and said in a deep voice:
"Does Hokage-sama want us to send clan members to bring this guy back?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen fell into silence upon hearing this, gently stroking the armor.

Of course it would be best to bring them back, but with the strength of the Pig, Deer, and Die tribe, it might be difficult to complete this task.

Moreover, in the conference room today, what Uchiha Tunan said about Ci Xian's strength could not be told to the three people in front of him.

After all, if what is said is true, then the clan leaders of the three pig, deer and butterfly tribes will definitely not let their own people die in vain.

There is a high probability that they will act against their will and show off.

But now the ANBU is controlled by Uchiha Tunan, and although the Sarutobi clan has many jounin.

But those are my last possessions, and I shouldn’t take this risk.

And I really need Ci Xian.

As long as he could find out where Cixian was, he could mobilize his real elite troops and set up an ambush.

In the end, Sarutobi Hiruzen decided to hide the specific information about Ji Xian's abilities and said solemnly:

"In the early stage, we mainly focus on gathering information, so don't act rashly."

After saying that, he saw Sarutobi Hiruzen forming seals with his hands.

Haiyi in the mountains also formed a seal immediately.

The two of them jointly developed the secret technique of perception passed down by the clan in the mountains, and then they reached out to connect.

The appearance of Ci Xian has reached Shanzhong Haiyi's mind.

After getting the appearance and general information of the mission target, the clan leaders of the three clans of Pig, Deer and Die quietly retreated.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of cigarette slightly dullly.

Thinking about how there were so many talented people in Konoha back then, why now it feels like there is no one available to them.

It is obvious that Konoha's momentum is even greater now than in the past.

Minato White Fang
Several of Konoha's top combat powers flashed through Sarutobi Hiruzen's mind.

The final scene is fixed in Uchiha Tunan.

"The strongest in Konoha is the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki." Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled bitterly and shook his head.

No matter his strength or status, he can't touch Uchiha Tunan now.

If he were really old more than ten years ago, he would have ended up personally. Not even
After thinking about it, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, bit his finger, formed seals with his hands and patted the ground.

A burst of smoke dissipated, and the figure of the ape demon appeared in the secret room.

"Hiruzen, are you going to fight again?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head, handed a scroll to the monkey demon and said, "Find a little monkey to take this to Mt. Myoki and have them pass it on to Jiraiya."

At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression changed slightly, he released his psychic spell, and strode towards the secret room stairs.

But there was an early warning in the induction barrier just now.

Who will come to me at this time?
With questions in his mind, Sarutobi Hiruzen came to the gate of the courtyard and opened the door that was being knocked.

I saw an old man in plain clothes with gray temples standing at the door, with a numb look on his face.

"Lord Patriarch."

In a blink of an eye, Sarutobi Hiruzen recognized that the man in front of him was a member of his own race. Not only had he played with him when he was a child, but they had also gone to the battlefield together when they grew up.

But later on, the identity gap between the two was too big, and they became estranged.

"It turns out to be a mountain. Come in."

Sarutobi Hiruzen welcomed the visitor into the house politely. After the visitor sat down, he asked thoughtfully: "Have you eaten yet?"

Sarutobi Ichiyama looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with dead eyes, and said in a hoarse voice:

"My son is dead. He was killed by an Uchiha."

The smile on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face froze, and he thought of many things in the blink of an eye, which made his heart hurt.

But the outsider didn't show anything here, he just said with a serious face:

"The ANBU should arrest the person."

A stiff sneer appeared on Sarutobi Ichiyama's face, "Caught and released."

Sarutobi Hiruzen instantly understood that this fellow member of the same race came to him to seek justice.

Over the years, it was only when he first took up the position of Hokage that someone from his own race came to him for help.

As time went by, his prestige became stronger and stronger, and people in the village would show their kindness to the people of the Sarutobi clan. It had been a long time since any clan members came to ask him to do something.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't like to get into such trivial troubles, the other party's son had died after all, and he felt the pain deeply.

For a moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen also became interested and said in a deep voice:
"Does Tunan know?"

Sarutobi Ichiyama said expressionlessly:

"Anbu informed me of the punishment decision today. It was him who gave the order."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was slightly surprised when he heard this, "Tell me the process."

As Sarutobi Ichiyama slowly told the whole process of knowing, Sarutobi Hiruzen's brows gradually tightened.

It's strange. Logically speaking, Uchiha Tunan has always been fair in dealing with this kind of thing.

Could it be that there is something fishy about this matter, that Yishan has concealed information that is detrimental to his son from me, or that his son has been hiding it from him.

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Sarutobi Ichiyama, and almost immediately suspected that this childhood friend and comrade was lying to him.

Of course, now that the other party's son has died and his emotions are on the verge of breaking out, he must not show any doubt.

That would be so heartbreaking.

But when Sarutobi Hiruzen slammed the table with indignation, he said in a cold voice: "Don't worry about this matter anymore. Take good care of the funeral of the child Shenyou. I will personally take care of this matter."

Sarutobi Ichiyama nodded, stood up and walked out silently.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sent him to the gate of the courtyard, and then he saw Sarutobi Ichizan slowly turning back and saying expressionlessly: "Hiruzhan, if you can't handle this matter, don't stop me, I'm just a child. ”

"Whatever you say, Ichiyama, you must believe that Konoha will not let any criminal go." Hiruzen Sarutobi assured him righteously.

However, Sarutobi Ichiyama just smiled miserably, as if he had no confidence in the impartiality of Konoha's top management.

"I understand, but this matter is probably the intention of the great hero of Konoha. It will definitely be difficult for you to be caught in the middle."

"Don't worry, I won't implicate anyone when the time comes."

After saying this, Sarutobi Ichiyama dragged his rickety body and walked slowly towards the edge of the clan.
