Ninja school teacher, I can become stronger by teaching.

Chapter 619: Bad News Coming One After Another
"We found some secret scrolls. According to the contents, it seems that Danzo-sama is collaborating with an unknown force and the Rain Village to kill Sosuke."

While reporting, the Anbu ninja handed the scroll he had searched for to Sarutobi Hiruzen with both hands.

"Unknown force... Could it be related to Uchiha Madara?" Sarutobi Hiruzen instantly thought of Uchiha Madara, but his expression remained expressionless.

Before the investigation is thorough, information about "Uchiha Madara" cannot be leaked, otherwise it will cause conflicts.

The Uchiha clan already has a history of coups, and now the death of Danzo Shimura is inexplicably related to the name "Uchiha Madara".

Not to mention those ninjas who were already prejudiced against the Uchiha clan, even Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but have some doubts about the Uchiha clan.

He did not think that there was a problem with the entire Uchiha clan, but believed that there was a high possibility that there was the power of "Uchiha Madara" within the Uchiha clan.

For the harmony and stability of Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not want anyone else to know this information, including the other two Konoha high-ranking officials.

Sarutobi Hiruzen opened the scroll and instantly recognized that it was the handwriting of Shimura Danzo. It was a secret scroll written by Shimura Danzo himself.

Sarutobi Hiruzen carefully read the entire scroll, then nodded and asked the Anbu to leave.

There is very little information about unknown forces, and no words related to "Uchiha Madara" appear. It mainly contains some arrangements made by Danzo Shimura for the siege and killing of Sosuke.

Before finding Sarutobi Hiruzen, the cautious Mu Yue had already conducted a comprehensive investigation. Everything Sarutobi Hiruzen knew was what Mu Yue wanted him to know.

For example, the one who said he would help Shimura Danzo obtain the scroll of Wood Release was dealt with by Mu Yue immediately.

"untie!"

When there was no one in the office, Sarutobi Hiruzen concentrated his chakra and formed hand seals, and the words on the scroll twisted and changed rapidly.

To outsiders, this was just an ordinary secret scroll, but after reading it carefully, Sarutobi Hiruzen, a decades-old friend of Danzo Shimura, discovered different information in it.

"Huruzen, if you saw this secret scroll, I would have been killed." This was the first sentence that Sarutobi Hiruzen saw.

"Sigh." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed deeply.

If Danzo Shimura had not died, he would not have been able to discover the secret scroll. After all, if Danzo Shimura was alive, he would not have been able to let the Anbu search the Root thoroughly.

"This operation is extremely dangerous. Even though I am well prepared, there is still a risk of death. But I have to go. If it succeeds, Konoha will have one less major hidden danger, and I will also be able to find out some details about Uchiha Madara."

When he saw the words "Uchiha Madara", Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes focused.

"Uchiha Madara is extremely powerful. He can freely enter and exit even the most secretive places of the Root, and he also has considerable influence in the ninja world."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little surprised. It turned out that "Uchiha Madara" was still in Konoha discussing cooperation with Shimura Danzo?
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned. The defense of the Anbu was not much stronger than that of the Root. If Uchiha Madara could enter and exit the Root at will, then he could come and go freely in the Anbu.

"How did he get past the great barrier?" Sarutobi Hiruzen looked unhappy.

The entire Konoha is shrouded in a huge barrier. No matter whether you enter through the gate, drill through the ground, or fly down from the sky, you should be discovered by the big barrier.

"The Uchiha clan is not trustworthy, and Uchiha Madara is definitely related to them."

Sarutobi Hiruzen could feel Shimura Danzo's suspicion of Uchiha just from the handwriting, which is why he wanted to prevent information from leaking.

This information is not conducive to unity.

"Uchiha Madara can kill even a well-prepared me, so he must be plotting something bad against Konoha. We must keep a close eye on Utatane Koharu, Mitomon En, and Orochimaru to prevent Uchiha Madara from using them to destroy Konoha."

"Huruzen, protect Konoha."

At this point, the content of the scroll comes to an end.

Sarutobi Hiruzen rubbed his wrinkled forehead. He could feel the threat of "Uchiha Madara" from the words of Shimura Danzo.

However, Danzo Shimura himself did not know much about "Uchiha Madara", and naturally there was not much accurate information about "Uchiha Madara" in the scroll. Most of it was speculation based on the current situation.

"Besides, Danzo, you are too arrogant." Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little helpless.

According to Mu Yue's information, Danzo Shimura was killed by Sosuke, and in this scroll, Danzo Shimura believed that if he died, it must be a trick played by Uchiha Madara.

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a moment, put away the scroll, called the Anbu, and ordered: "Notify Mu Yue to come to the Hokage's office."

The Anbu nodded, walked out of the office, and quickly found Mu Yue, and took Mu Yue back to the Hokage's office.

"Sir Sandaime." Mu Yue said with respect. Maybe it was because he didn't sleep well last night or something, but there was a look of fatigue on his face that was hard to hide.

"Thank you for your hard work. You are still in class today after such a thing happened." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.

Although Mu Yue did not report Shimura Danzo's affairs immediately during this incident, Mu Yue's various performances and actions made Sarutobi Hiruzen even more satisfied with Mu Yue.

"It's just a few hours of classes, it won't have any impact, and you, Lord Sandaime, are still working, how can I stand still because of this?" Mu Yue said seriously.

"No wonder Danzo wanted to hand over the Root to you. When he first created the Root, he worked as hard as you do now." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.

After a few pleasantries, Sarutobi Hiruzen handed the scroll to Mu Yue.

Mu Yue is the only ninja in Konoha besides him who knows the existence of "Uchiha Madara", and he also has a special relationship with Danzo Shimura. Sarutobi Hiruzen believes that Mu Yue has the right to know.

Mu Yue was surprised after reading the scroll, "Uchiha Madara actually entered Konoha!"

Of course, he was pretending.

Mu Yue already knew the contents of this scroll.

His sealing skills have long surpassed Kushina's, and he also has extraordinary perception abilities such as the Byakugan that can see through the world. How could he not discover what Shimura Danzo had done to the scroll?

It’s just that because the hidden content of this scroll would not affect Mu Yue’s layout, he did not deal with it.

With Uchiha Madara attracting firepower, Konoha will not pay so much attention to the Ninja Clan.

Mu Yue could only say that Danzo Shimura was really cautious. Even if it was a secret scroll he wrote himself, he did not write down all the information because of the risk of exposure. He did not write anything about Wood Release and the Rinnegan, as if he only wanted to get rid of Sosuke.

This kind of person probably only becomes sincere when leaving his last words.

"Please describe in detail the scene you saw at that time. Was it really Sosuke who was the only one who killed Danzo?" Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

Since Danzo Shimura is in the secret scroll, it is certain that his death is related to "Uchiha Madara". Sarutobi Hiruzen thinks that Sosuke may be related to "Uchiha Madara".

Maybe this incident was a conspiracy between Sosuke and Uchiha Madara.

"Only Sosuke and Lord Danzo are fighting. The others are far away and there are no signs of them taking action." Mu Yue nodded.

Danzo Shimura underestimated Sosuke and overestimated himself and Uchiha Madara.

"So..." Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a thoughtful look. Shimura Danzo's was just speculation, while Mu Yue's information was reality, so of course he had to make the speculation based on Mu Yue's information.

However, according to Mu Yue's intelligence, many of Shimura Danzo's ideas had problems.

"It's time to recruit new members for your training team. It's not right to have only one member all the time." Suddenly Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of something and spoke.

"Although Shisui is young, he is a steady person and a good talent."

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that there was something wrong with the Uchiha, but at this critical juncture, if the Anbu openly investigated the Uchiha, something bad would happen, so he thought of a good idea, which was to use the Uchiha to defeat the Uchiha.

Mu Yue's two Uchiha disciples can be believed 100%. If Obito's personality was not suitable for staying in the Anbu, Sarutobi Hiruzen would be ready to let them both join the Anbu together.

"Shisui does have the talent to become an ANBU," Mu Yue replied with a nod.

He guessed Sarutobi Hiruzen's purpose, but this was not a bad thing for Shisui.

The Uchiha problem involves too many aspects, and it cannot be completely solved within the Uchiha clan alone. We must take into account both within the clan and outside the clan.

Mu Yue's idea is to use the training team as a springboard for Shisui to train Shisui's abilities and also to improve Shisui's resume.

Although both became ANBU, Shisui's situation was different from Itachi's.

First of all, Itachi joined the ordinary Anbu, while Shisui joined Mu Yue’s exclusive training team, which can basically be regarded as Mu Yue’s Anbu.

As a teacher, Mu Yue would definitely not let his disciples suffer any loss.

After giving some guiding opinions on the future development of the training team, Mu Yue left the Hokage's office. Sarutobi Hiruzen continued to handle official business and arranged for the Anbu to continue the investigation.

This time it's not just within Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen begins investigating the Rain Country.

As the place where Shimura Danzo sacrificed his life, the Land of Rain must have relevant information that he does not have now.

However, before the Anbu could find out the important information related to the death of Shimura Danzo, bad news one after another reached Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"The news of Danzo-sama's death has been leaked!"

"The clouds of the country of soup are hiding and moving!"

"The number of Fire Nation spies has increased dramatically recently!"

boom!
Just when Sarutobi Hiruzen was getting anxious about the situation that was getting worse day by day, the wooden door of the Hokage's office was pushed open and Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En walked into the Hokage's office together.

"Huruzen, Danzo is dead!" Mito Kado En said sadly.

His relationship with Danzo Shimura is not as close as that with Hiruzen Sarutobi, but they are not strangers either. They have been through life and death together and often attend meetings together concerning the future of Konoha.

The death of such a companion could not help but make Mito Kado En feel sad, even though he had some complaints about some of Shimura Danzo's political views.

"I know." Sarutobi Hiruzen rubbed his forehead and sighed.

He did such a good job of keeping the secret, but now the news is flying everywhere. It can only be Sosuke or Uchiha Madara who are taking action.

"You know why you didn't tell us earlier." Utane Koharu was a little dissatisfied.

"Danzo is at least one of our top leaders."

Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression, she knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen must have received the news a long time ago.

After all, Sarutobi Hiruzen has always had a good relationship with Shimura Danzo. He shouldn't be so calm when he learned of his friend's death.

"This matter is very complicated. I wanted to find out some information and then inform you." Sarutobi Hiruzen explained briefly.

The death of Danzo Shimura involved too many things, and Uchiha Madara acted too quickly, which eventually led to this situation.

"Let's go to the conference room." Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up and said.

At this point, he could only reveal some information.

In the conference room, Sarutobi Hiruzen showed the advisors the confidential information he had recently collected, and explained to them the matter of Shimura Danzo.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not reveal the existence of "Uchiha Madara", but only said that there was an evil ninja organization interfering.

"How stupid! Instead of reporting such important information to the village, they acted on their own!" Utane Koharu could hardly control her emotions.

She now wanted to slap Shimura Danzo's corpse. Not only did she bring about her own death, but she also put Konoha into danger.

"Ahem, Xiaochun, Danzo has already sacrificed himself for the village after all." Mito Kado En reminded with two low coughs.

Although Shimura Danzo is stupid, the dead are the greatest, so it’s not nice to scold him now.

Only then did Utane Koharu realize that Sarutobi Hiruzen was looking at her with an unpleasant expression.

Thinking of the relationship between the two, Utane Koharu silently closed her mouth. There was no need to care about the dead Danzo Shimura, but the living Sarutobi Hiruzen was still the Hokage who had the final say.

"Kumogakure should inform Orochimaru to be careful, and then send some more ninjas to patrol the border."

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't say anything to Utane Koharu, but turned the topic to specific ways to deal with the situation.

"We have to destroy the fighting spirit of Kumogakure and let others know that we, Konoha, are invincible." Mito Kado En nodded in agreement.

Why did Yunyin take action at this time? It was simply because he felt that this was an opportunity that could be taken advantage of.

What Konoha needs to do is to crush Kumogakure's ideas and let others know how powerful Konoha is, so that the turmoil caused by Shimura Danzo's death will dissipate.

Of course, if Konoha shows weakness in this process, then it might not just be Kumogakure. Many people would be happy to kick a fallen dog.

After the meeting, it was almost time to get off work, but Sarutobi Hiruzen did not go home immediately. Instead, he returned to the Hokage's office and stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at Konoha.

"We have to add more burden to Mu Yue." Sarutobi Hiruzen put down his pipe and exhaled wisps of white smoke.

Originally, he wanted to let Mu Yue's training team develop naturally, but now the situation is becoming more and more chaotic, and he needs a stronger Anbu.

PS: I seem to be better today and don’t feel dizzy as much anymore.

I didn’t dare turn on the air conditioner these two days. I almost died of heat.

If you don't turn on the air conditioner in Guangdong in July, you will live there in silence.
