The Invisible Assassin of Konoha

Chapter 88 Compromise
"Rikimaru, you should be very aware of the seriousness of this matter, so, what you know, be sure to tell me bit by bit."

One day later, Rikimaru finally saw the Sandai Hokage, facing him, the Sandai Hokage had a very serious face, it was the first time he saw the smiling Sandai Hokage showing such an expression.

Rikimaru didn't speak, but glanced at the guards outside the prison, Sandai Hokage immediately understood what he meant, turned around and told those people: "You all leave, and no one is allowed to approach within ten meters around."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

After everyone left, the third generation spoke again: "What's going on?"

"It's Danzo."

Staring into Sandai Hokage's eyes, Rikimaru spoke the answer slowly.

"Tuanzo?"

The Third Hokage was stunned for a moment, and he was full of surprise: "What do you mean by Danzo? What does this have to do with Danzo? Isn't it the ninja from Yunyin Village who attacked you?"

Riki said lightly: "No, it wasn't Yunin who attacked us, but the people sent by Danzang. They pretended to be Yunin for me, although I don't know what is worth him doing. But I can be sure that this attack was planned by Danzo.”

Holding the pipe to his mouth with trembling hands, Sandai Hokage took a deep breath, and then coughed violently.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Riki just watched Sandai coughing quietly, without saying a word.

It took more than 20 seconds for the third Hokage to come over, and exhaled: "According to Anbu's report, you were the only one alive on the field at that time, and besides the ninjas from our village, there were people with forehead guards from Yunyin Village." The cloud ninja, they handed in the judgment that it was cloud ninja who attacked you."

"Why did you conclude that it was Danzang? He is an important high-level person in the village. Do you know the fate of framing him?"

Richimaru nodded: "Of course I know, but seeing may not be believing. Those people are indeed wearing Yunin's forehead guards, but they are not real Yunin, they are just used to fool around. Their real purpose is to catch me .

Not only that, but among our group, there was also their internal agent, Hijikata Shiro Jonin, he was the internal agent, and it was because of him that our traces were exposed, and we were caught off guard by the other party.

And at that time he attacked me and wanted to catch me, but I killed him with a detonating talisman. If you don't believe me, you can ask someone who saw the situation at that time. According to the traces of the battle there, you should be able to tell who I said True or false. "

"Hijikata Shiro is an internal response?"

The expression of the three generations of Hokage changed slightly. Although there are many jounin in Konoha Village, as Hokage, he basically knows it well. Hijikata Shiro is a member of Orochimaru, and Orochimaru once stayed at the root of Danzo. Hijikata Shiro It's really possible that it's Danzo's person.

Although he still doesn't admit it in his mouth, the third Hokage has already begun to believe it in his heart, but he is not very willing to believe it in his heart.

Next, Riki told everything he knew, except that he concealed some parts about his own abilities, and basically told the whole process of the battle in random order.

The Third Hokage has been listening quietly, but as he listens, his face becomes more and more ugly.

"Master Hokage, do you trust me?"

After speaking, Rikimaru suddenly asked the Third Hokage.

The third generation looked complicated, and answered the question: "Riki, your strength has increased a lot, and you have new abilities. This is a good thing. If it weren't for your abilities, you might be very dangerous this time."

"If it wasn't for my ability, Hokage-sama would never see me again." Rikimaru said.

The third generation understood what Rikimaru meant, but he still gave a positive answer: "This matter is related to the internal harmony of the village. I hope you don't mention it to anyone except me. I need to think about it and confirm it."

Hearing Sandai Hokage's answer, Rikimaru felt disappointed in his heart, but this was not beyond his expectation, Sandai still couldn't let go of Danzo after all, and it was impossible to get rid of Danzo for him.

"Naturally, I followed Hokage-sama's order. It's just that there is a thousand days to be a thief, but there is no reason for a thousand days to guard against a thief. This time I was lucky and saved my life, but who knows if there will be such a thing next time?" Good luck?"

Since the three generations couldn't make up their minds, Riki could only fight for himself, being attacked and killed, but unable to take revenge, this is indeed very aggrieved, but after all, he is not an ordinary boy, he is an adult thinking in his bones.

Children are divided into right and wrong, while adults are more concerned about interests.

Sandai is unwilling to execute Danzo, so he has to fight for his own interests. If he can't even do this, how can Sandai convince the public?

The third generation carefully looked at Zhuo Limaru, and he found that compared to a few years ago, Rikimaru had changed a lot and matured a lot, which was considered a good thing, and this time it was indeed his fault.

"If this is true, I can assure you that nothing like this will ever happen again."

Rikimaru nodded expressionlessly, he had heard this once before, but it was a pity that Danzo attacked him twice, and this time he almost killed him.

This time Sandai once again assured that he has no hope, but Sandai is Hokage after all, and he still has to give the face that should be given. He can only hope that Sandai Hokage can be tougher this time.

The third generation said again: "You did a good job this time, otherwise, if you spread it out, it will have a great impact on the peace and tranquility of the village. It was Yun Ren who attacked you, do you remember?"

"remember."

As soon as these words are spoken, it means that the three generations have secured Danzo.

"You can go out and go to the hospital to treat your injuries."

After Sandai said this, he left the prison with a sad face.

And Riki, who hadn't moved for a day, also stood up slowly, and followed Sandai out of the prison.

"This must be the last time."

Rikimaru glanced at the prison behind him, feeling aggrieved. This time, he was obviously the victim, but in the end he was imprisoned for a whole day. Instead, it was the culprit, Danzo, who would be sheltered by the third generation.

Perhaps Sandai will attack Danzo because of this incident and weaken Danzo's power, but for Rikimaru, this is not what he wants to see at all, and Sandai can't do what he wants to see.

For the next period of time, Rikimaru stayed in the hospital to recuperate.

When he was discharged from the hospital, he learned something from Jiraiya, who had already returned, that the third generation had indeed attacked Danzo, which greatly weakened Danzo's power.

It's just that Danzo himself has not been threatened, but this is enough for Rikimaru. For an ambitious person like Danzo, weakening his power is more painful than killing him to a certain extent.

As for the matter of his being attacked, it was taken over hastily without causing any movement, and many people didn't even know that it happened.

Instead, the third generation recorded an S-level mission for him later, and received a large amount of bonuses, which can be regarded as compensation for this incident.
