Konoha's Thief Hand

Chapter 567 Sarutobi Hiruzen’s Warning

In the Hokage building, Sarutobi Hiruzen waved back the Anbu ninja who had come to report, and turned to look at Tsunade who had stopped writing.

“Why are you hesitating?” He said, looking at the scroll where the pen had stopped.

“No.” Tsunade got up and stretched, turned around and walked away from the desk, came to the window and looked out, seeming to be looking for something, and said casually: “I just think there are so many files anyway, so first It’s not too late to deal with the business.”

“You just want to be lazy?” Sarutobi Hiruzen flipped Byakugan, but at the same time he was a little curious.

As a teacher who watched Tsunade grow up, he can naturally perceive Tsunade’s recent strangeness, especially whenever Matsuzaki Natsuki is mentioned, there is a subtle emotional change that he does not understand.

At this time, Tsunade, who was looking through the window, suddenly lit up, and the people she was watching also noticed the sense of gaze. At this moment, he stopped on the roof of a two-story shop, smiled and waved, and then confirmed that there was nothing wrong. Continue to rush in the direction of Hokage Building.

After walking through the circular corridor and coming to the door of Hokage’s office, Xia Shu raised his hand and was about to knock on it when the door was opened from the inside.

A smiling face appeared behind the door, even if he didn’t say a word, the squinting smile that fell into the depths of the eyes was already touching.

“Ms. Tsunade.” Xia Shu was taken aback for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth were slightly tilted, and she squinted at him and smiled.

“Come in first, Natsuki.” Sarutobi Hiruzen over there was already sitting in Hokage’s seat again, working on the documents, and stopped and stood up and smiled: “Have you been to the roots?”

“I just came over there.” Natsuki walked in, closed the door and smiled in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen, “Master Third Hokage is really strong, and the roots have basically accepted it, at least there is no problem on the surface.”

“That’s just superficial.” Sarutobi Hiruzen lit his pipe again, took a sip, and exhaled a lingering smoke, and raised his forehead sadly: “From what I know about Danzo, he must have done something in advance. Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to let go of the roots easily.”

Xia Shu smiled when he heard the words, and said, “Don’t worry, Master Hokage, I have already made a solution to this situation, but…”

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at him with interest, smoking a pipe and vomiting, without urging.

“But what?” Tsunade seemed to be very dissatisfied with the sudden sentence. He pretended to step up and knocked on Xia Shu’s head, crossed his hips and frowned, and said, “Speaking half way, it’s purely a punch!”

“Please allow me to step forward, Mr. Tsunade.” Xia Shu said with a smile while rubbing his head and pretending to be very painful.

Sarutobi Hiruzen’s eyes moved back and forth between his disciple and his disciple. Although he couldn’t say that there was a problem there, there must be something wrong with these two guys!

“It’s okay, Natsuki.” Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly converged his mind and waved his hand with a kind smile: “Danzo’s roots need to maintain independence. After I think about it, I feel that it does make sense. Maybe some Konoha in the future. When the Village encounters an unprecedented devastating disaster, the roots will become the last force in the rejuvenation of Konoha Village, so it is a good choice to have the roots and Hokage separated.”

These plain and even slightly soothing words came to Xia Shu’s ears, but he figured out a hint of warning from them.

But he still didn’t change his face, and said with a smile: “Thank you, Master Third Generation, for your understanding. After I have solved the root problems, I will send reports to the Hokage building regularly to report on recent roots movements.”

“It’s not necessary.” Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep look at the young man and didn’t notice anything wrong, so he shook his head and said, “If you did that, I’m afraid it’s not Hokage who gets the report first, but Danzo. ”

“Yes, the sinister old guy Danzo has been in the roots for many years. Even if you are in it, you won’t be able to understand everything, so it’s better to be safe.” Tsunade also echoed the persuasion.

“Okay.” Xia Shu glanced at Tsunade, nodded helplessly, and said again: “But there are always opportunities to pass on information. I will personally find opportunities to report to Master Hokage in general.”

“Hehe! There will definitely be a chance.” Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled as they looked at the two of them stroking their beards, their wrinkled faces full of kindness.

He suddenly understood!

“Then I will withdraw first, after all, things shouldn’t be too late.” Xia Shu bowed respectfully and cast a soothing look at Tsunade before leaving, causing the latter to close his soft lips slightly.

The door of Hokage’s office was brought up, Tsunade retracted his gaze, turned his head and collided with the smiling Sarutobi Hiruzen, subconsciously feeling a sense of guilty conscience being seen through.

“It’s okay, it’s okay.” Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head with a smile like an old father, and said with a smile: “I’ll leave the matter over there to Natsuki, now you have no excuses? Want to be a qualified person? Hokage, you still have a lot to learn, let’s take it step by step.”

“Oh!~” Tsunade heard the words and suddenly felt like he had been blown by the frost and wind, and he fell straight to the bottom.

Just when Tsunade fell back into the shadow of the file mountain, Natsuki had already returned to the root base.

On the spacious practice field, there was only one figure at the moment, waiting quietly for him.

His appearance was plain, and he seemed a little more cautious. It was Ren, one of only three people left in Shitiangan, who was worried about his fate, who was also the manager of most of the affairs of the root base.

“Master Xia Shu, welcome back.” Seeing Xia Shu walk into the practice range, Ren immediately greeted him.

“Yeah.” Xia Shu nodded, her feet kept resting: “Come with me.”

Although Danzo was forced to retreat by Sarutobi Hiruzen, he still had many tentacles at the roots. At this moment, he had to cut the mess with a sharp knife, readjust and disrupt the roots, and then gradually conquer him, and finally completely take over the rights of the roots.

Among the roots, only Ren’s position can provide him with such convenience.

In a room lit only by dim candles, Xia Shu held an oil lamp in her hand, took a scroll from the shelf, and illuminated the contents of the scroll with candlelight.

“All the good things are taken away.” Xia Shu shook his head. Although she had expected it, she was still a little disappointed at this time.

But now he has become the nominal controller of the roots, and then he will gradually subdue the power of the roots, so those things passed by wrong hands will eventually be taken back.

Ren lowered his head, treating everything in front of him as if he hadn’t seen or heard, and in his heart Natsuki Matsuzaki had already thought of betraying Danzo.
