Danzo was quite surprised when he heard the news reported by his subordinates.
Wu was the mole who was caught by Shikaku, and was the cover he used to push him out. He was a person with an innocent background and had nothing to do with them.
"Who killed him?"
"When Hinata Hiashi and the others came back, they were attacked by the Mist Ninjas. They were killed by the Mist Ninjas in the chaos."
Danzo frowned, this was completely unexpected.
There is a mental defense in E's mind, and people who are good at mental intrusion will break through this defense and will be hit by an illusion again and see a piece of information that he has fabricated.
And this false information is what Danzo wants to pass on to the Third Hokage, Minato Shikaku and the others.
Danzo knows very well how credible a mole who is just passing on information can be.
When he heard about Gojin's death, he thought of being killed by Shikaku and the others. If that was the case, it would be fine. He could directly tell Sarutobi that Shikaku and the others wanted to destroy the evidence and harbor evil intentions.
Regardless of whether Sarutobi believed it or not, the blame was shifted.
But the fact is that Wu died at the hands of the Kiri Ninja.
Then wouldn't all my plans be ruined...
If it happened again, wouldn't it be too obvious?

Inside the Hokage's office.
Sarutobi was holding a cigarette stick in his mouth, and the smoke was filling his face, covering his face.
Hizu stood there and continued: "I am responsible for the failure of this mission. Please punish me, Hokage-sama."
Sarutobi puffed his pipe gently and said slowly, "Needless to say, you were also attacked by the enemy, which led to this result."
Then he asked: "You just said that when the mole was caught, Haiyi didn't get any information from him, right?"
Rizu thought for a while and said, "Haiyi said that he has a mental defense technique in his mind and needs to be interrogated by people from the Torture Department."
Sarutobi's eyes moved slightly when he heard this. People in the torture department may not be as good at this kind of thing as people from the Yamanaka family. Haiichi could have tried the results first and then handed it over to him. What's the reason for not doing this?
Is Shikaku hinting at something...
Sarutobi thought about it for a long time, with many more thoughts in his mind, but he did not dare to make a conclusion easily.
He said: "Thank you for your hard work on this trip. Your original mission was just to transport supplies. The ghost will die as a sinner of the village. You should go back and rest first."
Hizu bowed and said: "Thank you, Hokage-sama, for your understanding. We, the Hyuga clan, also want to eradicate evil spirits from the village. Please be sure to summon Hokage-sama when there is a mission."
After he left, Sarutobi showed a sad expression on his face.
The clues that finally appeared were cut off like this. These mist ninjas appeared at the wrong time... Could these mist ninjas be targeting this mole? Someone wants to kill him and silence him?
While Sarutobi's thoughts were racing, there was another knock on the office door.
People from the medical class in white coats walked in.
"Hokage-sama."
"What's up?"
"There's something wrong with the body!"

Not long after Zhen returned home, Ayari hurried to the door.
"You kid, why didn't you tell me when you were on a mission?" Ayari asked with a displeased look on her face.
"At that time, Mr. Rizu summoned me suddenly, and I didn't have time to tell you."
Ayari walked up to Zhen again and looked him up and down carefully, "How is it? I heard that you encountered an enemy. Are you injured?"
Zhen said: "I'm fine, it's just that a companion died."
"Is it really okay?" Ayari was still a little worried, wondering if Zhen was lying to herself, but she didn't care at all about the second half of Zhen's sentence.
"Do I want to take off my clothes and show you?"
Hearing this, Ayari couldn't help but kick him in the calf and spat softly: "You're really not serious!"
She asked again: "Is the mission dangerous?"
Zhendao: "They are all dead, what do you think?"
Ayari then remembered what Zhen said just now about the death of a companion.
"Then why are you okay?"
"I'm very powerful."
"How awesome is it?"
"It's so awesome. That's awesome."
Ayari saw Zhen packing some ninja tools on the table and asked, "What are you doing?"
Zhen said: "I was in a hurry when I left yesterday and didn't have time to bring a lot of things. Now I'll sort them out carefully so they can be used next time."
"Do you still want to go on a mission?"
"We have already gone on a mission once, so we will naturally go on another mission when the village needs us."
Ayari nodded thoughtfully. In her mind, she had never gone out on a mission since she lost her Byakugan.
This period of time together made her almost forget that she was still a ninja.
He has changed a lot compared to before, but Ayari has gotten used to this change during this period of getting along with him.
Something was thrown at Zhen suddenly. Ayari was sitting on the sofa and quickly reached out to take it and found that it was an exquisitely shaped short knife.
"I found it on the corpses of those Mist Ninjas. I thought it looked pretty good, so I brought it back and gave it to you."
Ayari carefully looked at the sword in her hand, pulled it out of the sheath, and saw the bright blade reflecting the cold light.
She laughed and said: "You are really good at giving things, giving me things belonging to dead people, and how can you give a knife to a girl?"
"It looks good on the table. If you don't like it, you can return it to me."
Ayari put the knife in her arms: "There is no reason to take back what I gave you, so I reluctantly accepted it."
As she spoke, she kept playing with the knife in her hand.
In the afternoon, Xia also came.
It was Ayari who opened the door. She was quite surprised to see Xia Shi standing outside the door. Xia Shi's reaction was similar to hers.
"Xia, are you serious about coming here?" Ayari immediately said with a smile.
She was thinking at the same time in her mind that this guy could really get girls to come to her door.
Xia looked a little embarrassed: "Sister Ayari, I heard that she really came back from a mission, so... come and have a look."
Ayari smiled and said, "Then you guys can talk, I'm about to leave."
She turned around and told Zhen that she was leaving, then picked up the short knife on the sofa and left.
Zhen got up and walked to the door, welcoming Xia in.
This was the first time Xia came to Zhen's home. After looking around quickly, he found that it was cleaner and tidier than expected.
After sitting on the sofa, she asked the same question as Ayari before.
"I heard that you encountered a fog ninja on your way back. How are you? Are you injured?"
"No."
"The mission must be very dangerous. I heard that a comrade was sacrificed."
"Well, the mission back also failed."
"I hope you're okay."
Xia's behavior was a little reserved and unnatural, which was a little different from his usual elegant and generous appearance. This was only a small difference, but it was still noticeable.
This girl may not have come to see him for her original intention.
The two just chatted for a few words, and it didn't take long for Xia to say goodbye.
The next morning.
Rizu suddenly received a mysterious package, which was given to him by a servant after finding it in the courtyard.
When he opened it, he found a bloody kunai and a pair of white eyes in a glass vessel!
This greatly shocked Hizu's heart. He used his Byakugan to explore the entire Hyuga clan, but found no suspicious person.
He woke up with a start, didn't the bloody kunai and Byakugan represent Hitoshi's death and the stolen Byakugan?
Who left it?!
Who dares to provoke him like this!
Rizu was extremely furious, and there was a note in the package with the time and place written on it, asking him to meet somewhere outside the village tonight.
