Ino returned to the prison and found that Bucky had escaped with a group of prisoners, so she followed the trail.
She didn't show up for the first two days, and it wasn't until the third day, when the prisoners were about to leave the Country of Fire, that she appeared in front of Bucky and Morinaida, pretending to be a chance encounter.
"Your appearance looks familiar. Have I seen you somewhere?" Ino asked.
Morinoida glanced at Ino's Konoha forehead protector and said nothing.
"The way you walk and the way you hold your kunai prove one thing, you are a ninja of Konoha Village, you are a rebel ninja!" Ino turned into a detective and said categorically.
"I didn't! I just..."
"Just what?" Ino didn't expect to hear any answer. Orochimaru's rebellious ninja couldn't catch him, but he could still hold a handful of these little shrimps.
She didn't even use ninjutsu. With one move, she knocked Morinoida to the ground.
"Come back to the village with me and let Morinoi interrogate you better..."
Before she could finish speaking, someone from the opposite side exclaimed: "Brother, is he still alive?"
...
At the same time, in the capital of the Kingdom of Fire.
The Third Hokage came to see the Daimyo with Kakashi and Shikaku as bodyguards.
The daimyo who had always behaved like an idiot had a face full of anger and more of fear today.
He didn't say much and let the three of them look at Tan He's body.
They are ninjas, not coroners. What can be seen from this fatal wound?
What matters is the ninja's confession.
Talking about knowing Danzo, he didn't know him.
He could only roughly describe the enemy's clothing through his own observations from a distance, focusing on the huge wind release ninjutsu at the scene, and finally said: "... Master Tanhe knows the enemy, and he calls him
...For Danzo, they only said two words, and then Danzo killed Lord Tanhe."
The three people in Konoha all felt that their heads were extremely heavy.
They are not worried about the daimyo ambushing 500 swordsmen and axemen here. Let alone 500 people, they are not afraid of 5,000 ordinary people.
They just find things very difficult.
The Third Hokage immediately retorted that Konoha cannot bear this responsibility.
"This should be a clumsy frame-up, just to drive a wedge between the Daimyo and the Ninja Village. Danzo is... is innocent..."
He even felt sick when he said Danzo was an innocent person.
The daimyo suppressed his anger and fear and tried to maintain his usual demeanor. He knocked on the desk in front of him with his folding fan: "Where is Danzo? Where is he? Why doesn't he come?"
I wish I knew where Danzo was!
The Third Hokage answered bravely: "Danzo has some problems with his ninjutsu training and is recovering in the village."
He made up his mind that if the daimyo insisted on seeing someone, he would find someone to use the transformation technique to impersonate Danzo...
The daimyo didn't say a word, and the scene was extremely silent.
The Third Hokage tried to put things back on track: "I can arrange for the ninjas of the Yamanaka family to inspect the corpse. Many times, the corpse does not lie."
The ninja of the Yamanaka family? Isn’t that the ninja of your village? What can you find out?
The daimyo knew that there would be no results today, and that Konoha Village would not admit it even if it killed him. He could only give in. He had given in countless times over the years, and today was just another concession.
"No need, the deal is to die suddenly, that's it." He stood up and left directly.
The Third Hokage, Kakashi, and Shikaku stood there with heavy expressions on their faces, and the three of them were silent for a long time.
There was no conversation along the way, but when they returned to the village, they called Mitomono and Koharu, the five of them, to discuss the matter.
Kakashi still only listened but did not speak, pretending that he was just a background and decoration.
When they heard that Danzo had killed Tango, the first reaction of Mito Kaden and Koharu was... Huh? Could this guy finally couldn't help it?
It's really no secret that he is hostile to ninjas. For a group of ninjas who spy on intelligence every day, his thoughts are very obvious.
When they heard that Danzo was targeting Tango, the two advisors were not surprised at all, but took it for granted.
The Third Hokage smoked and said nothing.
Mito Monobu asked Shikaku carefully if there was any evidence found at the scene? Apart from a somewhat distant confession, was there any direct physical evidence? After hearing that there was none, the old man was very relieved. It would be fine if there was no direct evidence. The ninja did have it.
There is an unspoken rule that you cannot attack political figures, but as long as there is no direct evidence, it will be fine.
Are you saying that? If you just accuse any ninja, Danzo will be deemed to have committed murder? Don't be kidding.
Koharu's idea of moving to bed was very ninja-like. She thought that the matter this time was not small, but it could not be said to be big: "Hiruzhan, since the person is dead and the daimyo doesn't mind, let's end the matter here. Let's talk about it.
He is nothing more than a retainer of the daimyo. There are such sycophants everywhere. We sent people to attend the funeral and then promised to continue to pursue the matter. I think that is enough."
Her hidden lines are very clear. Who is Tanhe? To put it nicely, he is a daimyo. To put it badly, he is just a dog of the daimyo. Not to mention that the person may not be killed by Danzo, even if it is Danzo.
So what? Do you still want Danzo to pay for the life of one of his daimyo's dogs?
The Third Hokage thought further than she did. The Third Hokage believed that the relationship between the daimyo and Ninja Village was slipping into the abyss, but what could he do?
Ino, a time traveler, has firmly placed his butt on the side of the ninjas. Can the Third Hokage betray his class and his own village?
He pondered for a while and then issued an order: "Shikaku, you go to attend Tanhe's funeral. Kakashi, you lead the ANBU to search for traces of Danzo and tell me when you find it."
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
An important minister who could participate in the daimyo meeting died "suddenly" in such a confused way.
The cauldron was impartial and placed right on Danzo's head.
The daimyo side, Konoha side, and even Orochimaru, the people who eat melons, think that Danzo did it.
...
Danzo learned the news from the newspaper.
He had known about the Otogakure Village from beginning to end, and was leading the Root Ninja to ambush on Konoha's only way back to Otogakure Village.
Orochimaru attacks the Third Hokage, and according to Danzo's assumptions, he will most likely succeed, and the Third Hokage will not be far from death.
Orochimaru killed the third generation, and he would definitely pay a heavy price. Taking advantage of the opportunity when he was seriously injured and returned to the village to recuperate, the root ninjas swarmed in, and there was a high chance of capturing or killing the traitorous ninja.
When Danzo returns to Konoha Village with great achievements, he doesn't think anyone will stop him from becoming the Fifth Hokage.
At this time, he laid a dragnet on the road and waited for the snake to take the bait.
When he had nothing to do, Danzo would practice calligraphy and read the newspaper, and discussed that the news of the "violent death" was what he saw in the newspaper.
Danzo didn't have any idea about this. The two radicals were indeed at odds with each other. Tan Ho died. He had no intention of tracking down the real culprit. What's none of my business? Instead, he thought Tan Ho died well and died in seconds. This bitch
Why didn’t the thing die early?! I don’t know who killed him. It’s so satisfying!
