Hikaru Hokage

"No, not me!"

Uchiha Kanna didn't know what happened, but she was inexplicably tied up by the people brought by the Hokage from the Uchiha ninja team.

Then she was told that the strange "stolen items" were all found under her bed.

"Is it a mistake?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen also wondered why Danzo would involve a girl who seemed unlikely to commit such a thing.

"With the strength of this female ninja, it should be impossible for her to break into your base camp, right?"

"Yes, Hokage-sama, I haven't been able to awaken the Sharingan yet, and my strength is only that of an ordinary genin. It's impossible for me to do such a thing..."

Uchiha Kanna quickly knelt on the ground and looked at this "kind" old man as if looking at a savior.

From almost becoming Tsunade-sama's maid yesterday, to today suddenly becoming a criminal who stole the cells of the first Hokage, the ups and downs made this girl who is less than 17 years old feel like It was like going back and forth between life and death.

Apart from being scared to the point of trembling, the only thing left for her was to be grateful that her sister was still in the ninja school and was not involved in this matter.

But if she is really convicted, even if her sister will not be punished, the future will...become dark because of her.

Thinking of this, Uchiha Qinai quickly summoned up the last courage to explain.

"I really have no idea what happened..."

"No, although she does seem to have little strength, people related to her may not be able to do it."

But Danzo's words were like a bucket of cold water poured down, completely cooling Uchiha Qinai's hopes that had been ignited just now because Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke for her.

"what do you mean?"

After hearing these words, Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly figured out Danzo's operation.

"Actually, I have always been suspicious of a person, because only he has the ability to attack my roots without revealing any flaws or flaws."

Although his hands were tied and he was still wearing a prison uniform, Danzo's eyes were still sinister, and he looked sharply at the man standing next to Uchiha Fugaku——

"Now I can finally be sure that it was you who broke into my roots, stole those things, and when you knew today that we were coming to inspect the Uchiha clan, you secretly hid the 'stolen items' in your girlfriend In the room, I hope I can escape, right? Uchiha Shisui!"

"I?"

Uchiha Shisui was still thinking about why Uchiha Qingna was captured just now. Now that he heard what Danzo said, he was even more at a loss.

"Danzo, don't talk nonsense! How could I steal the cells of the First Hokage?"

"But you are the only one with this strength, and now that stolen goods have been found from your girlfriend's room, how do you explain it?"

"I, I'm not his girlfriend a long time ago, Hokage-sama, there must be someone..."

No matter who the culprit is...

Uchiha Qina finally understood that she should be the fish in the pond.

All because she once got close to Uchiha Shisui.

"That's just a way for you to hide it from others!"

Uchiha Qina's defense did not receive a response from anyone.

Only Danzo was still aggressive towards Uchiha Shisui.

"Shisui, is it really not you?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked solemnly with a straight face.

"Absolutely not, Hokage-sama, it was Danzo-sama who wanted to steal my... ninjutsu, so he framed me."

Uchiha Shisui also gradually figured everything out.

"It's ridiculous. I've been locked up in Konoha Prison all this time. Where did I find the time to frame you?"

Danzo couldn't help but laugh at Shisui inwardly.

At this point, the other party still hasn't realized the truth and only thinks it's his own conspiracy.

And, despite this, he still insists on hiding the Mangekyō Sharingan, which has the power of other gods.

I'm a little touched, Shisui, I didn't expect that you are really dedicated to the village.

To commemorate your sacrifice, I will use your eyes properly in the future.

"I……"

Uchiha Shisui couldn't figure out when exactly Danzo made a move...

Wait, was it the day before yesterday when I was drinking outside?

"Apart from this girl's room, were there any relevant suspicious objects found elsewhere?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen ignored the argument between Danzo and Shisui for the time being, and instead asked the ninja who reported the search results to him.

"No, everything else is fine."

"In this case, there is nothing we can do, Shisui. I will ask you to go to the Konoha Torture Department for a while."

"It's... Hokage-sama."

Enter the torture department, just enter the torture department. Anyway, you are not afraid.

Uchiha Shisui also knew that with the current situation, he had to go through this.

"Take this female ninja away as well. Maybe the real culprit is in her mind. Let the people of the Yamanaka Clan examine it carefully."

"Yes!"

"Hokage-sama, I really don't know anything..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's words made Uchiha Kana fall to the ground in complete despair.

The Yamanaka clan's mind-reading skills are well-known in Konoha Village. Anyone who enters the Torture Club and is used this kind of ninjutsu may be lucky enough to have their thoughts and past seen through. If they are not lucky enough, they may be killed. Invasion to the point of mental breakdown, loss of memory or even becoming an idiot.

Of course, whether it is good luck or bad luck, these two results are completely unacceptable to a girl with an innocent background.

"Be honest, or I'll knock you out first and then take you away!"

But the ninja responsible for guarding Uchiha Qina had no sympathy for her at all.

Not only did he grab her by the hair and pull her up from the ground, he also shouted bad words at her and even punched and kicked her right away.

Uchiha Qina was so painful that she quickly stood up from the ground.

Her eyes swept over the Uchiha tribesmen in front of her, Uchiha Shisui who was also taken away, Uchiha Mikoto...

But the latter did not speak up for her either.

Because what happened today was so sudden and strange, Uchiha Mikoto even began to doubt Uchiha Qina.

After all, the other party's performance in front of Tsunade yesterday was not good either.

Coupled with today's incident, this had to make her suspicious.

As for Uchiha Obito, who was among the clan members, he was just curious about the relationship between Uchiha Akina and Uchiha Shisui.

"..."

Seeing that things were doomed, Uchiha Qina no longer struggled or looked at anyone. She just lowered her head and followed the ninja who was watching her in front.

"and many more."

Just when everyone was watching this "drama" in surprise, confusion, or thoughtfulness, Hino Hikaru suddenly stood up.

"Hokage-sama, I think it is most appropriate to leave all things concerning the First Hokage to Sister Tsunade."

As the direct granddaughter of the First Hokage and the person in charge of Konoha Hospital, she should not allow others to take away the First Hokage's cells and related research items.

So Hino Hikaru walked out instead of Tsunade.

"Tsunade?"

Facing Hino Hikaru's proposal, Sarutobi Hiruzen paused, and then looked at Tsunade with questioning eyes.

"Yes, teacher, I also want to find out about this matter about my great grandfather."

Tsunade knew that the so-called murderer was her godbrother Hino Hikaru.

But she still didn't quite understand why Sarutobi Hiruzen made such a big show.

However, since her godbrother has spoken out, she naturally has to comply.

Anyway, if you have anything to do, you can go home and talk about it slowly.

"Okay, I'll leave these things to you. If someone appears in the village again who insults the First Hokage..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was not obsessed with these cells, nor was he surprised by Tsunade's reaction.

After all, the first Hokage is the other person's biological grandfather.

"I'll make him disappear from the village with my fists!"

Tsunade squeezed her fingers, unleashing a heart-stopping chakra storm on her body, and then gave everyone around her a warning look.

"Very good, then..."

Today, gathering so many respectable people in the village, in addition to confirming Shisui's trap, Sarutobi Hiruzen also had an important purpose.

That is to recommend the Uchiha clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku, in front of everyone. If Shisui is not around, he can basically be at his mercy.

Although the official Hokage election will be three months later, momentum must be built in advance, otherwise the sudden election of Uchiha Fugaku will cause surprise and strangeness among the villagers.

"Wait a minute, since Lord Hokage agrees with Sister Tsunade's proposal to find out the truth, she should also be responsible for interrogating this prisoner who has stolen the stolen goods."

Looking at Uchiha Qina's gray eyes, the expression of resignation, and the tragic situation of falling to the ground and having her hair torn out just now.

Although Hino Hikaru guessed what would happen today, he never thought that the drama sung by Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo would affect a passerby kunoichi who had just met him yesterday.

This also made him think back to himself before he met Tsunade.

Because he has no strength, no identity, and no status, he can only serve as a human being in the village.

The whim of a big shot, or the "aftermath" caused by a fight between two big shots, can easily cause them to lose their lives.

Even after losing his life, no one paid attention to him.

that time……

If you don't have the ability to awaken teleportation and rely only on the power of invisibility, even if you can escape the first wave, you probably won't be able to escape the second and third wave.

It was precisely because he thought of this that Hino Hikaru took an extra look at this Uchiha passerby girl today.

When he was in Ninja School, he had basically no impression of her. He only remembered that she seemed to be a low-level person similar to him.

Anyway, it was just a casual mention, and after today, probably no one will pay attention to the life and death of this Uchiha girl.

"?"

At first, when she heard Hino Hikaru's sudden words, Uchiha Kana's heart was not too disturbed, but now, as the other party's finger pointed at her, and the ninja in front turned back, she suddenly woke up from despair.

Let Tsunade-sama interrogate her personally?

Are you saving her?

But why did he do this?

It's impossible to understand, but this is undoubtedly her last hope...

"Lord Hokage?"

The ninja responsible for escorting Uchiha Qina away frowned, but he did not dare to ask the people on Tsunade's side, so he could only cautiously ask Sarutobi Hiruzen for his opinion.

"Tsunade can be interrogated first if she wants. Just remember to send her to Konoha Prison after the interrogation."

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't want to create too many details. Anyway, Uchiha Shisui had been taken away, and the girl in front of him was no longer important.

"Yes."

The ninja was granted amnesty and quickly loosened the rope on Uchiha Kana's hand, and then brought her to Tsunade respectfully.

And Sarutobi Hiruzen also began to brag about the achievements of the Uchiha clan.

"In every war, Uchiha ninjas rush to the forefront of Konoha's army, and since the establishment of the village, the Uchiha clan has always been one of the pillars of the village..."

Anyway, the last sentence -

He wants to nominate Uchiha Fugaku as the next Hokage. Who is in favor and who is against?

"..."

The clan leaders below all showed even more surprised expressions than before.
