Naruto: From the capture of the main family to the behind-the-scenes mastermind

Chapter 77 Pot Shadow (Part )

"Are you here as a victor to mock me? New Assistant Hokage."

Right in front of the cell, Danzo was tied with iron chains with sealing spells on his body. He sat quietly on a chair, looking at Hinata Yu with dark eyes.

"I'm not that boring."

Hinata Yu looked at him subtly, "I just came here to ask some questions today. Among the Root ninjas who left under your orders, are there any ninjas from the Hyuga clan?"

Danzo narrowed his eyes at Hinata Yu and smiled coldly, "Tokuma? He seems to be your senior in the ninja school. Do you want to know where he is?"

"Do not want to."

Hinata Yu said calmly: "I just asked if there are any Hyuga ninjas in the Root."

"So what?" Danzo frowned.

Hinata Yu didn't answer. In front of Danzo, he walked to a table and chair nearby, took out a stack of documents, and put the top document aside.

That was a list of Root ninja defectors, and there were many Hyuga ninja names on it.

Hinata Miyuki, Hinata Tokuma, Hinata Yuki and others were all inside, and they had inexplicably become members of the Root.

After all, Hyuga Hiashi had "pretended" to join Danzo before, so it is natural that there are many Hyuga ninjas in the Root...at least that's what Hyuga Hiashi thinks.

The Hyuga main family was almost wiped out, and the disappearance of many branch family members could not be concealed. Before, Hiashi could suppress it by relying on the status of the main family, but now he can't hide it anymore.

The escape of Danzo's Root ninja was a godsend, and it just gave Hiashi an excuse to send Hyuga Tokuma to do some manipulation and "expand" the Root.

The advantage of doing this is that if the above-mentioned people are arrested, Hyuga Hiashi can plead for mercy when necessary, saying that those ninjas joined the Root out of desperation and save them from death.

It’s time to add another blame to Danzo’s body.

Hinata Yu continued to ask: "Did you conduct any experiments on Wood Release or Sharingan..."

"That's enough! You can find clues to these at the root, why are you asking me?"

Hinata Yu silently took the document that Orochimaru had blamed aside.

Compared to other people, Orochimaru just had a bad taste in his mouth and blamed Danzo for the parts of his human experiments that overlapped with Danzo's. Strictly speaking, he didn't add much guilt to Danzo.

It can't even be called slander.

Taking out another document, Hinata Yu looked at Danzo and asked the third question.

"You sent people to massacre the Hyuga clan?"

"?"

Danzo finally looked up at Hinata Yu, and saw that he didn't look like he was joking. Thinking about the question just now, he completely understood what the other party was here for, and his originally cold and indifferent expression became a little distorted.

"What a bunch of shameless people!"

He was not unprepared for the fact that when the wall falls, everyone pushes it down.

But such a crime can be pushed onto him. Has Hinata Hiashi even abandoned logic?
If he wants revenge, will he look for the Hyuga family?

Seeing that he still didn't give a direct answer, Hinata Yu directly put the document on the "agree" side, which made Danzo's eyes twitch, but he didn't care about it and just asked, "What did Hiashi say?"

"Because I betrayed you that day, I was retaliated by the Root. Thanks to my own strength, I and my wife escaped. The rest of the main family members all died." Hinata Yu replied.

The document contained the news that the Hyuga clan had not appeared in public for several days, and it was obvious that Hiashi was deliberately putting the blame on Danzo.

But no one cares about this kind of thing. After all, even the Hyuga clan leader Hiashi himself doesn't care about the main family. Now that the Hyuga clan is obviously losing power, no one will stand up for them and find out the truth.

This document was placed in the lower left corner at the time. It was processed by Minato, and it was obvious that he did not intend to delve into it.

Now that Danzo has agreed... let's just leave it at that.

“That’s really far-fetched.”

Danzo sneered.

Although he didn't know the whole story, since Rizu pretended to join him, it meant that those members of the main family did not cause him any trouble.

I originally thought they were imprisoned, but I didn't expect they were all dead.

Is it because you want to free the birds from cages and are worried that they might get in the way, so you just kill them all?

Rizu is quite courageous.

"If you want me to take the blame for them, you can handle it yourself." After looking at the document, Danzo closed his eyes, thinking that if he didn't see it, he wouldn't be bothered.

Hearing this, Hinata Yu simply skipped some of the investigation results and looked at the personal accusations.

"Attacking ninjas from the same village."

"Threatening children into joining the Root."

"Innocent villagers were killed indiscriminately."

"..."

There are more documents of personal accusations than there are of guilt found in the investigation.

An attitude that shows that Konoha has been hiding for a long time.

While the above are relatively normal, some accusations are very strange.

"…sent Root ninjas to spy on the women's bathhouse."

Danzo, who had ignored him before, subconsciously opened his eyes and said faintly, "Jiraiya?"

Hinata Yu nodded strangely.

Yes, it was Jiraiya's accusation.

There is a problem with the causal relationship.

According to Jiraiya, he had accidentally discovered a Root ninja outside the women's bathhouse before.

But this statement should be interpreted in reverse.

It was the Root ninja who was keeping an eye on Jiraiya and followed him to the vicinity of the women's bathhouse.

Hinata Yu: "Tsunade-senpai, knowing that they can't do anything to you for the time being, took a portion of the money obtained from the Root as compensation for you to Miss Shizune."

"It seems like they all hate me."

Danzo said indifferently, looking at the documents quietly with a calm expression.

Some people are trying to shirk responsibility, while others are simply unhappy that he is still alive and are venting a little.

"You don't have much reputation in Konoha."

Hinata Yu sorted out the documents and put them aside, ignoring them for the time being. "You have been handling matters in secret. Many villagers don't even know you exist."

"The roots are just your tools. You don't have any successors, either in terms of blood or politics. Isn't it natural that it has become like this?"

Danzo looked Hinata Yu in the face for the first time and said in a low voice, "The reason is that I lost."

After a pause, he continued:

"You are not here to simply handle government affairs, are you looking for leverage over the various ninja clans? Or... the whereabouts of the Root?"

Hinata Yu did not answer.

Danzo stared directly at Hinata Yu, trying to see a change on his face, but he saw none and his eyes narrowed.

Although Sarutobi Masaaki had a high status in the ninja clan before, it was impossible for him to develop a spy into the core of the Root.

He had expected that there was sand in the roots, but the core layer was carefully cultivated by him, and there would be no traitors among them.

As long as the Root members who left don't gather together, Konoha will have no chance of catching them all in one fell swoop through the sand.

But Hinata Yu really seemed to have no interest in these.

"Are you..."

Thinking that he might be the only one in Konoha who paid attention to the information, Danzo's expression changed slightly, "You want the information about the Daimyo? Are you sure Minato will stand on your side? You are just the assistant of the Hokage!"

Hinata Yu: "Then don't bother with that. I'm just making preparations in advance."

"Get ready... hehe."

Danzo smiled sarcastically and suddenly said: "The appointment letter given to me by the Daimyo is now in the secret base in the east. The content is to give the right to contact the Daimyo to the Hokage's assistant. It will be of great help to you. Do you dare to take it?"
