Open Treasure Chest Through Konoha

For Konoha Sandai Hokage, this criticism came a bit inexplicably.

It can be said that people sit at home, and the pot comes from the sky.

……

Leaf Village.

Firehouse.

The Third Hokage looked at the scroll spread out in front of him, and frowned: "Are you sure it's Bai Yu's handwriting?"

"Yes."

The person standing opposite the desk was wearing an Anbu uniform and a mask on his face, but his tall figure still clearly marked his identity.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke.

"Our manpower has already rushed to the country of Chuan, managed to bypass the opponent's eyes and ears, and carefully surveyed the place where the battle took place, coupled with the information obtained from the black market of the country of Chuan, the person who defeated Onogi confirmed that it was Bai Yu. ...In addition, Bai Yu's current bounty on the black market has climbed to [-] million taels, which is almost equivalent to the Five Kages of the Five Great Nations."

While speaking, Sarutobi Shinnosuke took out a portrait from his pocket and placed it on the table.

The person in the portrait is dressed in a red cloud robe with a black background, and has a handsome appearance. Although the style of writing is a bit rough, it can be seen that it is seven or eight points similar to Bai Mingyu.

Sandai nodded, resting his chin with his hands.

Although things like the black market have always been in a gray area suppressed by ninjas, they are still an extremely convenient channel for inquiring about news.Especially in the country of Sichuan, which is not a subsidiary force of the country of fire, it is often more convenient to find information through the black market than Anbu's hard investigation, and it is understandable to use it occasionally.

As for the bounty...

It is the norm in the ninja world.

Including the five major ninja villages, most elite ninjas with surnames almost all have rewards of varying amounts on the black market.Some of them are released by hostile countries, while others are released because of personal grievances. The bounty offered by the ninja is almost [-] million taels, and for those with extra titles on their heads like Asma, the bounty amount is It's even more amazing, and it even gave birth to the group of bounty hunters.

Then again,

Although the amount of the bounty cannot directly represent the level of strength, because some strong ninjas have not been included in the black market hunting list due to poor records, but in most cases, this number can already be used as a judgment The standard of strength.

"Bai Yu, the brat... since leaving the village, it seems to have become stronger and stronger..."

Sandai looked at the portrait in his hand, took a few puffs of cigarettes, and the color in his eyes was uncertain.

"Are you worried?"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke frowned.

"..."

Three generations have no words.

If Jiraiya was still alive, he would not have such concerns. No matter how much trust he had in Bai Mingyu himself, Ziraiya's comprehensive strength was stronger than his own, and he had the only The first generation and the fourth generation have learned the immortal art disciples, and the third generation has never worried about any accidents. Anyway, there is always room for a step back. The responsibility of supporting Konoha can be guessed without looking at it.

But now...

Zilai also died in Yuyin Village.

Although the person who did it is said to be Payne, the leader of the Akatsuki organization, the specific battle process is still unknown until now.

As for his other two disciples, Orochimaru, needless to say, Tsunade has not come out because of the trauma left by the second Ninja World War, and he is still unwilling to take over the position of Hokage.

If something goes wrong...

Relying on his aging body, it is already difficult to make any means of checks and balances.

"...These things, let's talk about them later,"

The third generation shook his head, and let out a wry smile in his heart, feeling that he had become more and more indecisive, and looked at Sarutobi Shinnosuke with a pair of cloudy eyes: "The thing that ambush the Iwagakure blasting team two days ago, confirm who did it Yet?"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke shook his head.

"Here is the list of ninjas who went out in the past two days. I have observed the key suspects among them. So far, I have not found any suspicious traces... It is not ruled out that some people avoid the enchantment system in the village and go out privately, but it is more likely It was framed by other forces with the help of Konoha's reputation, but under the current situation, it is impossible for Yanyin Village to allocate too much energy to investigate, and most of them have already determined that our Konoha ninjas did it."

"...The situation in Yanyin Village, you continue to send people to investigate secretly. If Ohnoki is really injured by Baiyu, then his behavior will change in the next period of time. Maybe you can take this opportunity to start from the soil. Take some benefits from the country..." The third generation took a few puffs from the pipe and said.

As two neighboring big ninja villages, the relationship between Konoha and Iwain has never been very harmonious.

It is rare that there is an opportunity to take advantage of. Adhering to the principle of taking advantage of his illness to kill him, he still has to take advantage of it.

"clear."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

After a few more instructions, Sandai Hokage put down his pipe and rubbed his temples: "If you have nothing else to do, come here first."

"Forehead……"

Sarutobi Shinnosuke stood still.

"what happened?"

"There is also a piece of confidential information, which was transmitted from the capital three hours ago..."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke hesitated for a moment, put another scroll on the desk, and pushed it forward: "The information is related to the daimyo-sama. It is said that in the daimyo mansion, someone secretly instigated the guardian ninja twelve warriors around the daimyo. , trying to launch some kind of conspiracy, although the specific content of the conspiracy is unclear, but it is likely to be aimed at us Konoha...

I have tried to contact Asma, but so far, have not received any reply. "

"Asma..."

Hearing the name of his youngest son, Sandai frowned imperceptibly.

The Guardian Ninja Twelve is a system that has been gradually formed since the beginning of Konoha’s establishment. The reason for its initial appearance was Senju Tomona, who served as the second generation of Hokage, for the sake of the village’s economic resources and external environment. This plan was drawn up after consultation, and Konoha took the lead to select twelve elite ninjas from the entire Fire Ninja to form the Twelve Guardian Ninjas, responsible for protecting the safety of daimyo and nobles.

Those who can join this organization are almost without exception elite ninjas of the first level. They will wear a piece of red cloth embroidered with the word "fire" around their waists as a symbol. For ordinary ninjas, it can be said to be a kind of An extremely rare honor.

In this generation, the person Konoha sent out to join this organization was Asuma Sarutobi.

But in this matter, there are actually some secrets. In fact, it is because Asma is young and vigorous, and does not agree with her father's ideas, so she volunteered to join the Guardian Ninja Twelve.The third generation signed the application out of consideration for their son's future, and Asma's own strength is indeed considered to be the best among the younger generations in the village.

And now...

There is also a problem inside the Guardian Twelve?

The third generation pondered for a while, and was about to ask something more, when someone knocked on the door of the office.

"Come in."

The door was pushed open from the outside.

Uchiha Itachi, wearing a police vest, walked in from the outside, glanced at the situation in the room calmly, and came to the table: "Master Hokage."

"It's a weasel."

The third generation took a puff from the pipe and said with a smile: "Is there anything to report?"

"Yes."

Itachi nodded, and took out a piece of paper from his pocket and put it on the table: "In the past few days, when the security forces were patrolling, they found two secret passages near the No. 67 training ground and No. 82 training ground in the north of the village. There are traces of someone going out privately, here is the list of people who behaved abnormally during that time, and some of them are acting very suspiciously, please take a look at the three generations of adults."

"Is that so, I know."

The third generation took the list, glanced at ten lines at a glance, paused for a moment on the names circled in red, and tapped the table with his fingers.

The atmosphere in the room was silent for a while.

After a while, the third generation raised his head again, and said to Itachi in a more relaxed tone: "Itachi, speaking of it, your brother Sasuke is about to graduate from the ninja school, right? Kali heard that he won the first place in the actual combat training, and he really deserves to be your younger brother."

Itachi's face remained unchanged: "Thanks to the concern of the three generations of adults, Sasuke is indeed graduating this year, but the child has a bad temper and needs to be polished to grow into a qualified Konoha ninja."

"makes sense."

The third generation smiled, and said casually: "After the final exam in a few months, this group of students will graduate from the ninja school and become the official ninja in the village. I am currently looking for suitable teachers. How about it?" , Itachi, are you interested in becoming the leader of this group of ninja students?"

Itachi was slightly taken aback, apparently not expecting to be asked this question.

After thinking for a while, I answered: "To lead a team of Jonin, you need enough experience and insight. I still lack a lot now, and I'm afraid I'm not enough to take on this important task. If the third generation adults want to help these children Looking for a suitable teacher, maybe Captain Kakashi is a good choice, in addition, Mr. Shikahisa who is in the ninja class and Minister Haiyi of the intelligence department are also very reliable candidates."

"is it?"

The third generation pondered for a while, and did not continue to ask.

To be honest, Itachi himself really has no intention of becoming a Jonin. After all, he has already shouldered a lot of duties in the security force and the Uchiha clan, and he has no thought or time to be the leader of others.What's more, even if he really came forward to lead the class, in order to avoid suspicion, it is impossible for him to become Sasuke's leading teacher.

Whether it is from the perspective of the Uchiha clan or from the perspective of the elder brother, this is the case,

Otherwise, he really wants to give it a try. It might be a very interesting thing to teach his younger brother as a teacher...

After finishing the business, Itachi didn't waste any more time, and quickly took his leave and left.

But when he turned around, Itachi glanced at the portrait on the desk calmly, and then looked away.

"Thandai Tsuchikage's injury...was it related to Shiraha?"

……

After the office door was closed again, the smile on Sandai's face slowly subsided, and he re-read the list submitted by Itachi, frowning.

"It seems that Itachi has indeed put a lot of energy into this matter. This list includes not only the key suspects you mentioned just now, but also several suspicious candidates within the garrison, including members of the Uchiha clan. People are all included...but there is no evidence yet to prove that they have problems, it is too early to make a conclusion, you can arrange the manpower after you go back, and focus on monitoring these people."

"Yes."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke nodded in response.

"By the way, there is one more thing..."

"Ok?"

Under Sarutobi Shinnosuke's gaze, Sandai coughed a few times, and said with an unnatural expression:

"This matter has nothing to do with the village's official duties. After Tsunade came back, he has been betting against people in Konoha's casino recently. He has owed tens of millions of gambling money. The owners of several casinos have protested and even jointly wrote I submitted the letter to me... That guy has gone to hide from debts, you can get some money from me later, and fill in the gambling money. If you meet Tsunade, let her come over immediately see me!"

"..."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

While the third generation was thinking about finding something else for Tsunade who was obsessed with gambling, Sand Hidden Village and Kiwi Hidden Village also successively received information about the Land of Earth.

It's just that the attitudes of the two villages were unexpectedly the same. They almost maintained an attitude of having nothing to do with them.
