When Hiruzen Sarutobi arrived at the scene with his people, his face looked very ugly.
He was already moving fast, he could almost feel the terrifying chakra, and he already had ninjas to find out what was going on.
Not only him, there are also various ninjas from all directions who are constantly charging.
After the Third Hokage and others arrived, hundreds of ninjas came over one after another.
But when they arrived, their expressions were the same as those of Sarutobi Hiruzen, and there was even a little fear in their expressions.
A large hollow appeared in the huge eastern exercise forest. The dense trees had been completely cut off, and it was unclear where the broken branches had flown.
There were many broken body tissues on the ground, the falling snow was dyed red with blood, and there were long ravines in the falling snow.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the messy ruins. He stood quietly on a rock. His face was gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
"Hokage-sama, the investigation report has come out."
At this moment, a silver-haired ANBU came to Sarutobi Hiruzen. Sarutobi Hiruzen knew this guy was Kakashi just by taking a glance.
"Tell me, what exactly did you find out through your investigation?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath. Although he already had an answer in his heart, he still wanted to confirm something.
He had to figure out whether someone did this on purpose, or if someone came to trouble these guys accidentally.
If it was the first one, then things would be in big trouble, because it meant that those damn Uchiha probably left people around him.
This is absolutely intolerable to Sarutobi Hiruzen, what he hates most is people who betray him.
As for whether this matter would go bankrupt or even cause Uchiha to catch him, he didn't care too much because he didn't have time to care about it now.
If it is the second type, then everything doesn't matter. After all, Uchiha controls the security department, so it is impossible not to know the location of this group of people.
Moreover, there is great hatred between Uchiha and the people in the base. It is normal for that guy Uchiha Hahara to come and cause trouble.
"Hokage-sama, according to the report from the ANBU guarding here, the person who did it was Uchiha Hahara."
Kakashi lowered his head and replied calmly. In fact, he was really not at all calm inside.
He never dreamed that as soon as he gave the information to Hahara, this guy would take action directly on the same day, which suddenly made his head turn around.
However, he thought about it for a while on the way here and probably figured out what Han Yuan was thinking.
I'm afraid that Ha Yuan didn't know who gave him the information, and he couldn't determine the authenticity of the information, so he chose to directly eliminate some possible troubles.
This approach is correct. After all, the remnants at the root want revenge, but doing so makes Kakashi very embarrassed, because he sent this information.
He must now find a way to stop Sarutobi Hiruzen from focusing on him, and at the same time explain this matter as 'Habara's private behavior'.
"However, those ANBU members also said that Uchiha Hahara did not take action when he came over. It was they who took the lead and then encountered a counterattack.
But Uchiha Hahara was also very ruthless. According to them, Uchiha Hahara used the same technique that killed Danzo-sama.
It only took one knife to kill everyone, and they also said that the giant looked different this time than before.
This time, this giant is wearing a layer of armor and is even more powerful. The knife marks on the ground were caused by it."
What Kakashi said is still very pertinent, but he specifically emphasized that Habara did not take the lead in taking action, which can be regarded as a small effort on his part.
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't pay that much attention. His focus was still on Habara using Susanoo.
It's different from how it was before, and that's the most important thing.
Because Sarutobi Hiruzen could feel it, the power Habara showed this time seemed to be even more terrifying than last time.
He had been thinking before that whether Ha Yuan's power had been improved again, but now he was completely sure of this idea.
Just knowing this situation, Sarutobi Hiruzen was once again filled with shock.
It's obvious that this kid's strength has been improved again, but how old is this kid and is his talent so outstanding?
Sarutobi Hiruzen was very sure that he would never have had this strength when he was this kid's age.
Even if it is Uchiha Kage from the same family as this guy, he has definitely not reached this level. Uchiha Kage has not even opened the Mangekyō Sharingan!
"This little devil is so terrifying beyond expectation!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen muttered silently in his mind that he had seen Habara's power a few months ago, and he felt that he could still deal with such power with all his strength.
However, I'm afraid the price will be very heavy, and he will definitely die, which he is very self-aware of.
He is getting old after all. Even though he bears the title of Shinobi, he cannot stop the erosion of time. To deal with Habara's inevitable, he may have to use some forbidden techniques.
If he could be twenty years younger, no, ten years, he would be confident that he could beat Uchiha Hahara, instead of trying a new one and dying together now.
But soon, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a little relieved.
As a Hokage, there is really too much information that he can obtain and review, and he also has the information about the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Whether it was his teacher, the Second Hokage, or Uchiha Itachi, that damn traitor, they all left a lot of information for Sarutobi Hiruzen.
This also allowed him to master a lot of things that others didn't know, and he couldn't help but feel a little bit of this information. The more he uses the kaleidoscope, the faster he loses it!
"Uchiha Hahara, you are asking for death."
Such unscrupulous use of the power of the kaleidoscope, in Sarutobi Hiruzen's opinion, was a way of quenching thirst.
The more I use it, the harder I laugh, but when I laugh, I cry.
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly put away such thoughts, at least he did not dare to be careless until Habara failed.
Because Habara's power is still at its peak, the power he displays really chills people's hearts.
At the same time, besides him, Uchiha also has two pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan!
In an era, the entire Uchiha united and three pairs of kaleidoscopes appeared. When Sarutobi Hiruzen encountered such a thing, he felt that he was so unlucky.
"But just because they are too strong, I must find a way to contain them and weaken them!
Otherwise, if someone like Uchiha Madara appears, the entire Konoha will suffer unimaginable catastrophe..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen muttered silently in his heart, and then he looked at Kakashi aside.
Kakashi was really feeling extremely uneasy now. After he finished speaking, he found the Third Hokage standing there silently without saying a word.
Such an action made Kakashi's heart almost jump into his throat. He wondered if the Third Hokage had begun to suspect the leak of intelligence.
He didn't regret telling Habara the information. At least he was willing to do this for Konoha and Obito.
What he regrets now is that he should have clearly given this guy Hahara a certain sense of security to prevent him from messing around like this.
"I understand, where is Uchiha Hahara?" Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't notice anything unusual about Kakashi, so he asked directly.
"Over there, he stayed at the scene and did not leave." Kakashi lowered his head and said, he was already a little afraid to look at Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Habara has indeed never left. This matter is not a big deal to him. Why should he leave if he has good reasons?
Sarutobi Hiruzen guessed Habara's thoughts. Anyway, it was these guys who made the first move, so it was natural that they should die. It was only the thought of this that made him even more angry.
Han Yuan's unscrupulous behavior actually complied with all procedures, which made him really angry.
But what he has to do now is to test what Hahara is thinking, whether he has received any information to do this, or whether he just wants to cause trouble for these guys.
"Take me there, I want to see him."
Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke directly to Kakashi, which made Kakashi feel a little embarrassed.
what is this?
The accused person wants to see the person who committed the crime, and he, the informant, has to go with him, but the person who committed the crime doesn't know who the informer is?
What kind of mess is this?
However, Kakashi did not dare to express his position in any way. He honestly led Sarutobi Hiruzen towards the direction of Habara.
Not long after, they saw Habara sitting on a rock, and there was no one around.
Normal ninjas would be fine, those guys were busy checking out the cracks caused by the power of God, and the ANBU didn't tell anyone who did it.
Even if someone guessed that it might be Habara, they could only think about it but would not bother to ask.
But the ANBU don't dare to appear near here, which already shows the problem. I'm afraid those ANBU guys are also worried and hesitant.
"Chief Hahara, it's been a long time no see."
Sarutobi Hiruzen followed Kakashi and walked directly in front of Habara. Before Kakashi could step back, he gritted his teeth and spoke.
Ha Yuan raised his eyebrows, and then he smiled simply.
"Hokage-sama, long time no see. I wonder if Hokage-sama has anything to do with me?"
"Hokage-sama, Chief Hahara, since the two of us have something to discuss, I will now take my leave."
Kakashi looked at the two people and started talking. Although there was no smell of gunpowder for the time being, he could imagine what would happen next.
Although he really wanted to stay and confirm some things, he also knew that his status was not suitable for him to stay here.
Therefore, he could only make this choice, but what he didn't expect was that he would speak just as he was about to leave Ha Yuan.
"There's no need to leave. Anyway, I have a clear conscience for what I did."
Habara smiled and looked at Kakashi with his head lowered, and then he looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Lord Hokage, what do you think?"
"Humph, of course I won't have any objections!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen snorted and directly left Kakashi behind.
But what the two of them didn't know was that Kakashi's face was already a little pale at this time...
.......
Kakashi really feels that his heart is extremely complicated right now.
Being left behind, he could judge based on the current situation whether Hahara would reveal that he had obtained the information, which might lead to disaster for him.
But at this time, he was really nervous. The situation of the three of them was too complicated.
Neither Hahara nor Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that he was an informer, but neither of them could say that he was an informer.
He could only watch helplessly what these two people would say, what they would do, and even guess what they would think, so as to judge some things.
To be honest, this approach was really too uncomfortable, and Kakashi sighed inwardly. He felt so uncomfortable being caught in the middle.
"Uchiha Hahara, I ask you, why do you do this?"
Just when Kakashi was extremely entangled in his heart, Sarutobi Hiruzen had already spoken directly. He stared at Habara with a slightly dissatisfied tone.
However, under such dissatisfaction, his eyes were clear. He stared closely at Ha Yuan's eyes and observed the changes in Yu Yuan's emotions.
He was even using his peripheral vision to observe Hahara's movements to judge Hahara's state and thoughts at this time.
But what made him slightly disappointed was that Han Yuan looked very calm and looked no different from usual.
"Didn't these people under you tell you why I did what I did?"
Habara looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen calmly, and then he shook his head disdainfully, seemingly mockingly.
"A blatant attack on the head of the Konoha Security Department. The Jounin of Konoha is also the leader of the Uchiha clan. Is there any reason for me not to fight back against these people?"
"That's not what I'm asking. Uchiha Hahara, you should know better!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen applied pressure again. He stared at Habara and his voice became deeper.
"They are all people with deep roots. Don't you know what you will become when you come in front of them?
And I am recruiting them, and they will spend the rest of their lives serving Konoha, but all this is because of you, because you killed them all!
What do you mean, Uchiha Hahara?"
"My meaning is very clear, Hokage-sama."
Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen in this state really made Hanbara a little amused. He knew that this guy was testing him.
As for what the test was about, there was no way of knowing. Maybe the information was true, and Sarutobi Hiruzen had already begun to worry.
Maybe it was because of other things, such as that he really wanted to understand the purpose of Hahara's actions.
But no matter what it is, what Habara has to do is very simple, and that is to have fun with Sarutobi Hiruzen.
He could completely assume that the information was true, and then make some reactions and judgments, and even test the Hokage.
"They are the remnants of the root. It seems that I have never promised you from the beginning to the end. Will I let them go?"
Besides, as I said, they were the ones who made the first move, and I just came here to see how these guys were doing."
After saying this, Hahara paused slightly, and then he looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a playful expression.
"Of course, I didn't forget to tease them a little bit, like why they haven't died with their master who betrayed Konoha.
What I didn't expect was that they would react so violently and take action even if they disagreed."
Habara's words instantly made Sarutobi Hiruzen feel as if his blood pressure was rising. The person he mentioned as betraying Konoha was Danzo.
As for why Danzo is accused of betraying Konoha, don't you have any idea?
But before he could speak, Hahara spoke again with a smile on his face, and this time the playfulness on his face became more serious.
"Of course, I admit one thing, that is, I deliberately forced them to take action. The grudge between me and the root will not end so easily.
Also, strictly speaking, Hokage-sama, you should really thank me.
If you want to recruit them into ANBU, the ANBU ninjas must expressly prohibit this and must strictly follow the orders.
I used my safety as a price to personally help Hokage-sama test their bottom line. If they don't move, it means they can be included.
If they can't do it, then I will help Hokage clean up these remnants and ensure the environment of the ANBU. Isn't this a good thing?"
Good thing?
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Habara's face, and his fists hidden under his sleeves had begun to clench slightly.
If this is a good thing, is there any bad thing going on at the end of the day?
Sarutobi Hiruzen realized that he had really underestimated the brat in front of him. This was not in terms of strength. In terms of strength, Sarutobi Hiruzen fully recognized Habara's power.
He underestimated Hahara's ability in thinking acuity, and also underestimated Hahara's sophistry ability.
How could a normal Uchiha be able to talk about so many things like him? They are basically too lazy to tell you, if I did it, I did it, if I didn't do it, I didn't do it.
This is why Sarutobi Hiruzen took out the video data in Habara and told him that the guy wearing the mask was the one who killed his wife eight years ago. It didn't take long for him to believe it.
Because the Uchiha really did say something, and their arrogance did not allow them to lie.
Uchiha has never admitted that matter over the years. In fact, he has known this from the beginning and has always believed it.
Just to make Konoha more stable, he selectively ignored these voices.
Habara's performance was really very different from the Uchiha he knew. He had heard that this kid had always acted very unlike a real Uchiha.
He didn't believe it so much before, but now he had to believe that this guy was indeed different from ordinary Uchihas.
Taking a deep breath, Sarutobi Hiruzen tried hard to control his emotions, and finally he snorted coldly before speaking.
"Huh, if that's the case, then I really should thank you, Minister Hahara!"
"It's easy to say. After all, Hokage-sama has also given us a lot of benefits. I am very happy to help Hokage-sama."
Ha Yuan also showed a smile at this moment, but soon he became very confused.
"It's just Hokage-sama, let's just talk about it. I've done so much this time, doesn't Hokage-sama show any sign of it?"
express?
Sarutobi Hiruzen really couldn't control his blood pressure at this moment. He had seen shameless people, but this was the first time he had seen such a shameless person.
He no longer thinks about whether Ha Yuan really got the information or something, he is really angry with this guy now and his heart aches.
It's just that Sarutobi Hiruzen is Sarutobi Hiruzen. He calmed down in an instant, and then looked at Habara quietly, and his mind began to spin rapidly.
Because he suddenly realized that this was also an excellent opportunity to test this guy.
After hesitating for a moment, his expression was still full of anger, and he asked angrily.
"I told you a long time ago not to go too far. Haven't you got enough now? What else do you want, Minister Hahara?"
"Lord Hokage, do you still remember that I once discussed the security department with you?"
Habara didn't care at all about Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression at this time. He spread his hands helplessly, and then said quietly.
"But the current situation in the Security Department is not very good. We are short of people but due to various reasons, we can't recruit anyone.
And we have no money. The money given by the Finance Department is too little, which makes it impossible for us to do many things.
Hokage-sama, the security department is also the security department of Konoha, does Hokage-sama intend to treat them differently?"
After Hahara finished speaking, Kakashi on the side froze. He raised his head slightly, and the eyes under the mask that looked at Hahara were full of confusion and confusion.
What does Hahara mean? Do you not believe the information you gave me at all?
But Kakashi is also very smart. He immediately figured out some different flavors. He felt that this guy Hahara did it on purpose, or that he had other ideas.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, on the other hand, had countless thoughts running through his mind quickly, and he felt that he had received an important piece of information.
"This kid wants me to give him money and recruit people for him at the same time?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen is really weird at heart. Isn't this part of his plan?
Now he was wondering if he had misunderstood something. This kid really didn't know what he wanted to do.
If a normal person knew that someone was planning to plot against him, he probably wouldn't jump in so easily.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some people will take advantage of the situation.
Just thinking about it, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that his plan was to eliminate the Uchiha clan's control over the Security Department from the source.
Even if the Uchiha people are stupid, they wouldn't do such a thing, right?
After thinking about it, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that his plan should not have been exposed. This little bastard Uchiha Hahara was just here to disgust him.
He wanted to kill these people at the root and then negotiate terms with himself. Otherwise, why would he use such terrifying force? This is a kind of demonstration!
Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen understood. This kid wanted to threaten and tell himself through his own power.
He can't stop what he wants to do, and he can use this power to get what he wants from himself!
Such a threat to Sarutobi Hiruzen was naturally filled with dissatisfaction and anger. How long had he encountered such a thing?
Perhaps only the damn Kumogakure ninja had accomplished such a thing a few years ago, but Konoha was too weak at that time, and he compromised because he was unwilling to drag Konoha into the haze of war again.
And now...
Looking at the young face in front of him, Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath silently. He already knew what he was going to do.
He clenched his fists, and then he gritted his teeth with anger on his face and said fiercely: "Okay, very good! Uchiha Hahara, you are really good!"
"Hokage-sama is so complimentary. I wonder what Hokage-sama thinks?" Habara still had a smile on his face. This smile looked so harmless.
"Without money, Konoha itself is in trouble."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked very hesitant. He thought seriously for a long time before finally sighing.
"I can't help you if you want someone. I can't go against everyone's will, but I can help you publicize it. You can take care of the rest!"
"Is that just like this?" Hahara frowned, and then his smile faded and he looked a little dissatisfied: "It's okay, but Hokage-sama has somewhat disappointed his subordinates."
"I told you, Uchiha Hahara." Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed to have suffered a big loss. He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't go too far!"
Kakashi looked at the two people and didn't know what to say for a moment.
He felt relieved now that he didn't seem to have exposed anything.
But he was rest assured that there was only one thought running through his mind, that is, the acting talents of these two people are too good, right?
