Shisui shook his head quickly: "No, Oshemaru-sama has always been very close to Hokage. I suspect that he might be involved in this matter, so I didn't tell him."

"In this village, you are the only person I can trust and reach out to."

Jie laughed and said, "Oh, then have you inquired about my relationship with Danzo?"

Hearing these words, Zhishui's face changed and he tensed up.

Seeing this, Jie waved his hand: "Let's just talk about it. During this period of time, the news that I have a disagreement with Danzang has probably spread throughout the village."

Shisui curled his lips: "Perhaps, Hokage-sama just wants to weaken your influence."

Jie didn't know the so-called shaking his head: "Okay, I know about this matter, I will find a way, you go do your own thing, by the way, it's best not to tell anyone about this matter."

Zhishui nodded solemnly: "I understand."

After Shishui left, Jie's expression was stunned, and he remembered the scene when Minato hurriedly asked him to solve the barrier just now.

Does Minato know about this?

Suddenly, Jie didn't understand what Shishui wanted him to do.

Could it be that Zhishui really came to tell him the secret out of what the village thought?

With Zhishui's character, this kind of thing is really possible.

In Jie's imagination, Zhishui's true allegiance is only to the village, and there is no such thing as power.

Whether it's the family or Danzo, they are nothing compared to the village in Shishui's eyes.

If this is the case, then this matter is a bit interesting. With Danzo as a person, will this kind of thing really be used as an excuse for others?

In other words, Danzo will really do such a stupid thing to mobilize the power of the whole village to realize his ambition?

Jie was a little unsure about paying attention. Based on his understanding of Danzo, that guy's ambition was indeed unimaginably large.

But it's a little impossible for him to use this excuse to achieve his goal.

This is not the reason for being too scrupulous, it is just that the benefits and risks are not equal.

With Danzang's power, wantonly manipulating finances, developing armed forces, devouring the interests of villagers, etc., these seemingly outrageous things are actually nothing at all.

What really matters is the price you need to bear after doing this kind of thing.

As Danzo, whether this reward is worth the consequences he has to bear is the question that Jie has been thinking about in the matter of where all the money in the village has gone.

Bang, the door was pushed open, Obito rushed into the room and sat down beside Jie: "Jie, are you looking for me?"

"Well, I need your help with something."

Obito's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "What is the thing that makes you feel troublesome?"

"Go to the Ministry of Finance and help me steal something. With your kaleidoscope ability, it's extremely easy."

"I see, what? How many times will you go?"

"One bill, I will do it tonight, and at that time, Watergate may also make a move, so you don't have to get it, you just watch a show, and if Watergate fails, you will do it again."

"Sensei Minato wants to take action too? The bill! Is it the most embarrassing high-level corruption case?"

Jie was stunned: "Corruption at the top? Where did you hear about it?"

"Hey, don't you know? Everyone is discussing. It is said that the reason for the lack of funding in the village is not because of excessive military development and economic imbalance, but because some high-level officials swallowed up most of the public funds for personal gain."

Jie's eyes moved: "There is such a thing? Do you know where it came from?"

"I don't know. It seems to be related to the Ministry of Finance. You understand...ordinary people dare not discuss this kind of topic casually."

"Why...... Is there something strange? Do you need me to help you investigate?"

"Forget it, you don't need to worry about this matter, go back and get ready, it will help me the most to concentrate on doing a good job tonight." Jie waved his hand and waved back Obito, frowning and lost in thought.

He didn't want to be involved in these messy affairs of the Ministry of Finance, but now he seems to have discovered something unusual.

It's not clear who this is aimed at, but it's definitely not an accidental leak.

After thinking about it, Jie put this matter aside temporarily, no matter who the blame will fall on in the end, it has nothing to do with him.

He hasn't been in the village for the past three years, and no matter how he is framed, he will never be involved. The high-level people know this well, and no one will think of throwing the blame on him.

Night, Basement of the Ministry of Finance Building

The large squares made of bluestone are neatly displayed on both sides of the floor, and an old-fashioned lighting lamp is hung every ten meters in the dark corridor. Combined with the cold and damp atmosphere, it gives people a gloomy and mysterious feeling.

Da da da, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and two dark things flashed past the corridor like ghosts in a speeding motion.

"It's here, we only have half an hour, so hurry up."

In front of the iron gate, the two had a brief conversation, and entered the secret vault without hesitation.

In the huge warehouse, there are densely packed files.

Due to years of disrepair, the shelves on which the files are placed look crumbling, and even the labels written next to the shelves are tattered and blurred.

The two of them glanced around with some headaches, thought for a while and said in unison: "We'll look separately."

In the alley not far from the Ministry of Finance, Water Gate held a timer and stood motionless in the corner, waiting for the time to come.
