The first time Minato and his party returned to the village, Danzo got the news through his subordinates.

At this time, he was in a very bad mood.

After the last assassination, there were always several Anbu teams patrolling around Sarutobi Hiruzen's ward, and everyone who entered and left had to be carefully checked before they could pass.

He couldn't find a suitable opportunity in the village. Even if he wanted to force it, it would be difficult to do so with the current strength of the Root, and it might even reveal its flaws, which would eventually lead to trouble.

For this reason, he spread the information, issued a reward in the underground gold exchange, and placed his hopes on other ninja villages and the underground hyenas who relied on the gold exchange for their livelihood.

But now it seems that everything he did has failed.

"Hiruzen, you are really lucky!"

Danzo clenched his fists and sighed. The gloom in his eyes quickly disappeared, and he became as calm as a deep spring.

At this point, the only thing he had to do was to pretend that he knew nothing.

The assassin who assassinated Sarutobi Hiruzen was gone, and those who knew the assassin's identity, spread intelligence, and issued a bounty were all cleaned up by him.

He did not leave any clues in these two things. Even if Sarutobi Hiruzen had some guesses afterwards, with his indecisive character, he would only continue to pretend to be confused.

...

Konoha Medical Department.

Outside the ward where Sarutobi Hiruzen was, several high-level Konoha people and a few scattered ninjas were waiting for news in the corridor.

Soon, the door of the ward opened, and Tsunade walked out with Shizune.

"The old man's poison has been cured. He will recover after a period of rest. Remember to send the medical fee later."

Tsunade looked at the faces that annoyed her, waved her hand impatiently, and walked away quickly with Shizune through a few people.

After walking out of the medical department and breathing the fresh air outside, the depressed mood in her chest was relieved.

She didn't want to see the faces of those old guys at all.

But when she looked up again, Tsunade's face fell again.

Okay, here is another dog skin plaster!

"Wife, did you miss me after not seeing you for half an hour? Do you want to drink?"

Zhe came up to Tsunade and handed her a bottle of sake produced by the Nara clan.

Tsunade's two major interests in life are gambling and drinking. This time he will definitely not make the wrong offer again!

"Shizune, let's go! Accompany me to the casino!"

Tsunade was not polite. She grabbed the sake and drank it in the street, and walked towards the casino in the village with a heroic step.

Humph!

Those old guys will definitely refuse to pay the medical fee for various reasons, so don't blame her for recording the gambling debt she borrowed today into the Konoha account.

Is the big fat sheep wife going to give benefits in the village?

When Jie heard that Tsunade was going to the casino, his eyes lit up and he immediately caught a comrade on the street and asked him to go back and collect gambling funds.

Fat water should not flow to outsiders.

With the fat water flowing from the big fat sheep, he can support more wives in the future, right?

As expected, Tsunade performed steadily in the casino as always.

In just an hour, the gambling debt owed by the accountant made the casino owner's eyelids jump, and he dared not let her continue to play.

There were too many, and he was afraid that Konoha would not recognize it, and he would still lose money at that time.

"Damn it, I have already used up all my bad luck before, and I will win money soon..."

Tsunade, who was addicted to gambling, gritted her teeth angrily, and suddenly thought of Jie beside her who kept winning money in the casino, and her shining eyes immediately looked over.

"Lend me some money for gambling, and I'll return it to you with interest when I win!"

Tsunade's eyes rolled around, and she grabbed Jie's shoulders and patted him like a good brother.

"I don't lend money to gambling dogs!"

Jie rejected Tsunade ruthlessly, and when her face fell, he changed his tone: "Wife, you don't have money to eat, right? Let's go, I'll treat you!"

"Shizune, let's eat him out today!"

Tsunade glared at Jie angrily.

She didn't bother about Jie calling her 'wife, wife' for taking advantage of her. After all, no matter how much she bothered, it was useless, and Jie would still call her whatever he wanted.

If you don't take advantage of something, you're a bastard. If someone treats you, you should choose the expensive ones.

The barbecue restaurant of the Akimichi clan.

After the three of them sat down, Tsunade picked out the ones she couldn't afford before and ordered a table of various barbecues. (All the money has been lost)

"Jie, why did the owner keep looking at you when we entered the store?"

While waiting for the food, Tsunade asked curiously.

If it was just her, she wouldn't be curious, but the owner's expression was the main reason.

How should I put it, it's like a young wife who has been wronged, feeling aggrieved and yet also

There is a sense of helplessness.

Especially since the owner is a greasy-looking fat man.

Well, it's hard to judge.

"Oh, just a clan member who has some prejudice against me."

Jie glanced at the owner standing at the front desk and said indifferently. Seeing that Tsunade was still a little puzzled, he stretched out his bloated middle finger, and the shadow condensed into a solid tentacle to pour himself a glass of water.

"I didn't learn their secret techniques in vain. Now many ninjas in Konoha are my dear clan members..."

"..."

Tsunade's mouth twitched, and the proud thing on her chest also fluctuated with the waves.

It turned out that he not only stole the village's seal book, but also stole the secret techniques of these ninjas. Moreover, seeing that others couldn't do anything to him, he had to jump in front of others every day...

Encountering such a rogue, these ninjas in Konoha are really unlucky for eight lifetimes, and they have to swallow their broken teeth!

"Aren't you afraid that they will add ingredients to your meal?"

Tsunade asked.

Jingyin, who was standing by, was also very confused. She didn't know whether she should eat after the dishes were served.

"How can you doubt my beloved relatives, brothers and sisters like this?"

"These are all my relatives who I have visited and visited, and I have a deep relationship with them!"

...

Hokage Building, Hokage Office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had regained consciousness, sat back in his position as Hokage. Although he was still a little weak, he was no longer in serious trouble.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sat silently at his desk, checking the list of people who had entered and left the Hokage Building before he was assassinated and poisoned.

This incident was too extraordinary, and there was a sense of weirdness everywhere.

As the political center of Konoha, the Hokage Building had to be approved for entry, not to mention an assassin, even the people in the village had to be allowed to enter, not to mention quietly poisoning the water cup in the Hokage's office!

At this time, an Anbu walked into the office.

"Have you found out where Yamanaka Ryogi went?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his eyebrows and looked at the Anbu.

Yamanaka Ryogi was the Anbu member who was responsible for guarding the entrance and exit of the Hokage Building that day. After he was assassinated and poisoned, Yamanaka Ryogi disappeared.

This is the only clue in front of him to find the identity of the assassin.

"The ninja dog finally found traces of burning in the Death Forest based on the smell of Yamanaka Ryogi's clothes in the past. The bone remains on the ground can basically be determined to be left by Yamanaka Ryogi..."

The Anbu lowered his head and reported.

"Go down."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded.

The clues were completely cut off here, but he had the result in his mind like a mirror.

The ability to plan the poisoning and assassination in the Hokage Building and clean up all the clues afterwards shows that the person behind it has great power in Konoha.

This range has been reduced to a very small range. If we analyze the personalities and motives of these people a little bit, the target will be easily revealed.

Shimura Danzo!
