Returning to the command post, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the casualty list sent to him, and unexpectedly discovered that the number of casualties was not as high as expected. There were only a dozen people, especially ninjas above the level of Jonin, and there were no casualties.
This is strange. Orochimaru caused such an accident. The thunder was loud and the raindrops were light. It looked very fierce, but it did not cause substantial damage to Konoha Village. Is it just to embarrass Konoha Village?
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, puzzled.
At this moment, Tsunade helped Shizune enter the command room.
When Danzo saw Shizune, his face turned pale, and when he saw the same look from Tsunade, he quickly averted his gaze, but he felt extremely regretful in his heart for not killing Shizune at the first opportunity, which resulted in such an embarrassing situation.
"How is she?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked.
"Some amnesia." Tsunade looked depressed.
She knew that Shizune did not have amnesia, but it was no different from amnesia because she didn't know many situations. She had to find Yusuke Terauchi and verify with him before she could make a judgment.
But if you directly say "Shizune doesn't know anything", it is equivalent to blocking the escape route and leaving no room for maneuver. Even if you know who the real culprit is in the future, you will lose the initiative because of "Shizune's answer". Therefore,
Tsunade chose a more cunning plan.
Since it is "amnesia", there is the possibility of "recovering memory". At the same time, the real murderer will definitely reveal his flaws after learning the news.
After hearing what Tsunade said, Danzo frowned and became increasingly uneasy, but Tsunade saw all this.
"However, she also has something to tell you." Tsunade patted Shizune's back.
Danzo's heart immediately rose and he stared straight at Shizune.
"Orochimaru took off the face of a chuunin, disguised himself as that chuunin, and escaped from the Forest of Death."
"What!?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was shocked, "He has already left!?"
"Yeah." Shizune nodded.
"Go and inform Kakashi to find the dead chuunin and determine his identity quickly!" Sarutobi shouted at a ninja outside the door.
If Orochimaru appears in person, just be careful of him. However, if he disguises himself as another ninja, he can not only enter Konoha at will, but also cause continuous damage to Konoha Village.
Danzo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time glared at Shizune with dissatisfaction. Is such a small thing worth talking about? It really scared him to death. I thought it had something to do with him!?
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, thinking about Orochimaru's next move. To this end, he found the map of Konoha Village and kept moving his eyes on the map.
Tsunade was comforting Shizune and providing her with psychological counseling.
On the contrary, Danzo became the most idle person.
The "root" should have been hidden in the Anbu and should not be exposed, so he was just thinking about how to say goodbye to Sarutobi Hiruzen when suddenly, a ninja rushed into the headquarters on a rolling ground.
"What's wrong? Are you panicking? You're going to die!?" Danzo said dissatisfied.
"Something...something big happened." The ninja swallowed his saliva and looked anxious.
"What's wrong?" Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at the ninja who just came in, with an ominous premonition in his heart.
The ninja's eyes immediately fell on Uchiha Itachi.
"It's...a matter about the Uchiha family..."
"Is it related to me?" Uchiha Itachi asked in surprise.
The ninja nodded, "You must hold on... Your mansion was attacked and your brother was kidnapped."
"What!?" Uchiha Itachi felt like the world was spinning. If Hiruzen Sarutobi hadn't supported him, he might have fallen to the ground. "You mean Sasuke... Sasuke was caught!?"
"yes."
"Who! Who caught him!?" Uchiha Itachi clenched his fists and tried to control his emotions, but a stabbing pain made him almost unable to breathe.
Sasuke, his most beloved brother and the most important person to him, why did something unexpected happen!?
"I don't know." The ninja shook his head. "Everyone who had seen the murderer was almost killed. Only one child was still breathing."
"Who is that child?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked quickly.
"It's Naruto...Uzumaki Naruto."
"Could it be Orochimaru who did it?" Tsunade reminded.
"Could it be that his target from the beginning was Sasuke!?" Sarutobi Hiruzen muttered to himself, "He made such a big fuss here, and his original intention was just to distract us!?"
Danzo was also dumbfounded.
Sasuke? What Sasuke?
He had never heard Orochimaru mention Sasuke in his ears.
Could it be that Orochimaru had plotted against him from the very beginning?
That's right...
At this time, the interior of Konoha Village is the weakest. Even the police department has focused their attention here, and Fugaku is guarding outside. If Orochimaru takes action at this time, he can even escape from Konoha at will.
Being used!!
Danzo frowned, feeling a surge of hatred towards Orochimaru.
Uchiha Itachi had no intention of staying any longer. After bidding farewell to Sarutobi Hiruzen, he ran non-stop towards his home. He wanted to investigate the whole matter personally and not let go of any clues.
Sarutobi Hiruzen also issued an order to seal off the entire Konoha Village and at the same time, ask ANBU to assist in the investigation.
Danzo realized that he had nothing to do here, and was about to say goodbye to Sarutobi Hiruzen and go back to tidy up the equipment in the basement so that the ANBU would not find any abnormalities again.
This Orochimaru did these things without consulting him at all, which really caused him misery.
At this moment, another ninja ran into the command room in a hurry and almost fell down.
"What's wrong?" Danzo glared at the ninja.
Really, is it over yet!? Does he want to go back?
"Lord Danzo, something...something big has happened." The ninja almost burst into tears when he saw Danzo.
"Wait... what you want to say has to do with me?" Danzo asked suspiciously.
The ninja nodded.
Danzo took two deep breaths and said, "Tell me, what's going on? I'm ready."
"Fire, fire...the fire burned your mansion." The ninja said.
"What!?" Danzo seemed to have been stepped on. No one knew what was hidden in the house better than him. "What do you do for food? Don't you know how to find someone to put out the fire?"
"We found it, but the fire was too big and couldn't be extinguished. Jounin who can use water escape must either go out on missions or be transferred to the forest of death... No one can extinguish such a big fire..."
Danzo took two steps back. Unable to stand still, he wanted to help the person next to him, but unexpectedly the person suddenly moved away. He sat down on the floor. Looking up, the person avoiding him was Tsunade.
"Quickly, find someone to put out the fire." The Hokage said.
"Wait a minute..." Danzo came to his senses, "Gen" has many unknown secrets.
It's easy to say that he can explain everything else, but the Sharingan is quite troublesome to explain.
After all, the Uchiha clan was involved, so he had to take it out himself.
Danzo was very anxious, but he came to Danzo and whispered: "There is something in the 'root' that is not convenient for others to see."
"But what about the fire?"
"I will destroy it myself!" Danzo was ready to die.
Which grandson set the fire? Will anyone be left alive!?
