Uchiha's double pupil Sharingan, exterminates the clan and suppresses Itachi at night

Chapter 893 The somewhat bewildered Raikage, what does Hiruzen Sarutobi want to do?
"Borrow your lives?"

Tu Tai, who had been silent until now, frowned, but finally asked his question.

Can,
His expression remained grave, as if he couldn't understand many things, truly couldn't understand them.

"Yes, they're using our lives!"

The ninja who came to report nodded hurriedly, but his eyes still held a serious look—no, a look of hatred for Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Did he say anything else?" Tu Tai frowned and continued to ask.

"That's all. We only exchanged a few words before Hiruzen Sarutobi attacked us!" The ninja's voice suddenly choked with emotion as he spoke. "If it weren't for the captain's desperate efforts to buy me and Zhen time, I probably wouldn't be back!"

"Oh?" Tsuchida frowned, muttering to himself, "This doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense. Why would Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly appear on your mission route and suddenly attack you?"

Although he was the strategist of the Land of Lightning, he still found it strange to encounter something that defied common sense.

Could it be that

Is someone impersonating Hiruzen Sarutobi trying to sow discord between the Land of Lightning and the Land of Fire?
"Tsuchikage, what are your thoughts?" Raikage asked, puzzled, as he looked at Tsuchikage, who was frowning in thought. His mind was racing, but he couldn't stop thinking.

He was a little confused. What was going on?
"It's unclear at the moment!"

Tsuchikage shook his head decisively, then looked at the ninja opposite him and asked, "Do you know Hiruzen Sarutobi?"

"I don't know him!" the ninja shook his head.

"Then how did you know it was Hiruzen Sarutobi on the other side?" Tsuchida asked, frowning.

"The squad leader had seen Hiruzen Sarutobi before and recognized him at a glance when he came out. That's why the squad leader risked his life to escort us out when he saw Hiruzen Sarutobi attack us!"

The ninja who came to report sounded dejected, as if he had been thinking of something sad: "I've let my teammates down, and I've let the captain down too."

The ninja felt somewhat guilty.

If he could, he would rather die alongside his captain, but reporting the news was more important.

Silence fell over Raikage's office.

seem,

Everyone present was baffled as to why.

After a while,
Tsuchida took out two scrolls from one of the locations, each containing a portrait: one of Mitokado Homura and the other of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

He looked at the ninja opposite him and asked, "Do you know Hiruzen Sarutobi?"

"I recognize him!" The ninja pointed decisively to the portrait of Hiruzen Sarutobi, then hesitated before saying, "However, our encounter with Hiruzen Sarutobi is somewhat unusual!"

"special?"

Upon hearing this, Tsuchikage and Raikage were both taken aback, and Tsuchikage immediately asked, "What's so special about it?"

"The Hiruzen Sarutobi we saw was in a sorry state. His hair was disheveled, and his body was covered in wounds, as if he had just been through a major battle!"

"We were in a terrible state when we met Hiruzen Sarutobi!"

"My first impression of him was that he was like a refugee who had wandered into our area!"

The ninja recounted his story with a firm tone, as he tried to recall his encounter with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Have you just been through a major battle?
This?
That's a bit unusual. Could it be that Hiruzen Sarutobi is carrying out some kind of special operation in the Land of Lightning?
The Land of Lightning squad happened to encounter them, and Hiruzen Sarutobi was afraid that things would be exposed, so he attacked the Land of Lightning ninjas.
Can,
If you intervened, why did you let them leave?

With Hiruzen Sarutobi's strength, even if he were to be the only one sent, it would be impossible for the team to escape.
The more they thought about it, the more conflicted they became.

The situation was very strange, as if it were a conspiracy.

But how could he know that the reason Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't chase after the messenger was because the Impure World Reincarnation has a time limit, and if the time limit is exceeded, the sacrifice will have no effect?

Therefore,
Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't pursue. "Tsuchidai, what do you think?" The Raikage was taken aback, but the doubt in his eyes deepened.

matter,

There is weirdness everywhere.

It seemed like a conspiracy.

There are two possibilities!

Tu Tai took a deep breath, seemingly considering several possibilities:

"One possibility is that someone is impersonating Hiruzen Sarutobi, specifically targeting our Land of Lightning's mission squads, with the aim of provoking conflict between the Land of Lightning and the Land of Fire for their own gain!"

The Raikage listened to Tsuchikage's explanation and nodded seriously.

It is possible, and it is very likely. There are too many people who do not want peace between the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning.

but,

After thinking it over, he still raised his question: "But... if someone were to impersonate Hiruzen Sarutobi and attack us ninjas, wouldn't that be too obvious?"

As the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't act rashly, just like him.

"There's a second possibility!"

Tsuchida pondered for a moment, then continued, "That really is Hiruzen Sarutobi. He was doing some clandestine things on the border of our Land of Lightning, and happened to be encountered by our ninjas. He wanted to kill them to silence them!"

These are two highly probable conclusions that Tu Tai has come up with.

"He was on a mission on the border of the Land of Lightning, and the Hokage himself came?"

"What does Hiruzen Sarutobi want to do?"

The Raikage frowned in thought, but he couldn't figure it out: "Before you met Hiruzen Sarutobi, did you encounter any other strange things?"

"No!" The man shook his head decisively.

This?
The Raikage and Tsuchikage were even more confused.

Just as the two were wondering, another ninja rushed over with important news to report. When the ninja arrived, he recognized the person who had brought the news at the same time.

"Zhen, you're still alive?"

The person who came was the one who had fled with him, but unexpectedly, he had also escaped back.

Tsuchikage and Raikage exchanged a glance, their brows furrowing even more deeply.

"Zhen, tell me what happened?" Tu Tai Kang frowned, looking at Zhen who had come up behind him, and asked again.

Zhen nodded and recounted his experiences in the same way as the first ninja, even in more detail.

"Do you think that Hiruzen Sarutobi might be a transformation technique?" Tsuchida asked again, looking at Shin.

"I don't think so."

Zhen also had some doubts, but not knowing whether the matter was true or false, he could only shake his head.

"Alright, you can all go and rest for a bit. Report back if you think of any more details!"

Tu Tai waved his hand, indicating that the two could leave for the time being.

After the two left, he rubbed his head, his mind full of questions. He seemed to have no idea what Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to do.

Raikage, however, was an impatient man. Looking at the earthen platform, he asked eagerly, "What should we do next?"
