If a Konoha ninja died, it should be a good thing done by the enemy, who also borrowed wild beasts to help destroy the corpses and eliminate traces.

The scene was in a mess, with wild wolf footprints everywhere, and a strong smell of blood still lingered on the ground.

Torn clothes, leftover bones, and animal masks on the faces of ANBU ninjas.

“You stay here to collect information, and I’ll go back to the village and report this to Lord Hokage.”

He took the ANBU ninja who was the Black Hawk, opened the barrier and returned to the village, and rushed to the Hokage’s office building as quickly as possible.

Still working overtime until late at night, the Third Hokage, who had just been lying down for a while, was woken up and had to get dressed.

“Hokage-sama.”

The shadow was half kneeling on the ground.

The Third Hokage rubbed his temples, which were aching due to overwork and poor rest, and asked in a hoarse voice: “What’s the matter?”

“grown ups.”

The black shadow reported truthfully:

“Hunting Fox and I returned from a mission and found the scene of the murder of our companion not far from the entrance. The body had been destroyed by wild beasts, and now there are many footprints left. The torn clothes and equipment of the other party are exclusive to our ANBU. And the masks to carry.”

“What?”

Such shocking news instantly cured the Third Hokage’s headache.

He felt like his old face had been slapped hard twice.

Anbu people were actually killed next to the village, and they even deliberately attracted wild beasts to destroy their bodies and eliminate traces of them. This was a slap in the face of Konoha and him, the Hokage.

You must know that Anbu is a unit directly under his Sarutobi Hiruzen.

“Put on your mask and go immediately to check the identity of the deceased. In addition, notify all the people in the Anbu to launch an investigation. We must investigate this matter clearly. In addition, notify the team leader of the barrier class to come over.”

Anbu people were killed outside the village, and the location happened to be near the barrier entrance, which meant that the enemy had found the barrier entrance and exit used by the ANBU ninja.

In addition to investigating this matter, the entrance and exit of the barrier also need to be re-selected.

Otherwise, hidden dangers will be left, making it easier for the enemy to invade Konoha.

After the Third Hokage gave the order, the ANBU ninjas who stayed in the village became active. Even the ANBU ninjas who were secretly watching, monitoring and protecting Kushina were recalled, which shows how determined the Third Hokage was.

A vigorous investigation was launched.

As the elders of the group of elders, Koharu and Mito Kaden who were transferred to the dormitory were notified by the ANBU, and they quickly crawled out of bed and rushed to the Hokage’s office building.

“Hiruzen, what happened.”

“Why are all the ANBU people dispatched?”

As soon as they entered the room, Koharu and Mito Kadoyan asked anxiously as they moved to bed.

“See for yourselves.” The Third Hokage’s expression was not very good, and he handed a document to them both.

The first thing to investigate clearly is the identity of the deceased.

There is no such person in ANBU.

Wearing ANBU’s clothes and equipment, and wearing the same mask, there are no such two people in ANBU, so where did the people come from?

No need to think about it, it must be the root.

“What a courage.”

Mito Kadoyan slapped the table and said angrily:

“This matter must be investigated thoroughly. These people can even find the entrance and exit of the barrier used by our Konoha Anbu. We cannot take it lightly.”

As for the identity of the deceased, this is not important. Regardless of roots or ANBU, they are all from Konoha.

The most important thing right now is to find the enemy.

“Boom!! Boom!!!”

The sound of anxious footsteps accompanied by the sound of walking sticks hitting the ground came closer and closer. Feeling the chakra aura near the office, the Third Hokage frowned and stared at the door that was not closed.

Sure enough, the next second, Danzo’s figure appeared.

Danzo was lying well in the hospital, but he felt a little uncomfortable halfway through. His neck felt cold and his anus contracted. Before he could recover, the bad news came. The people he sent out were killed and his belongings were gone. .

Upon hearing the news, Danzo almost jumped out of bed, regardless of Tsunade’s warning.

They hurriedly arrived at the Hokage’s office building.

There is so much chakra metal, if you lose it all… you will be in big trouble.

“Sarutobi, have you found any information about the murderer?”

“Danzo, you should be recuperating in the hospital instead of asking these questions.”

The Third Hokage has long been accustomed to the fact that Danzo always appears in the Hokage’s office in time. The reason why he is not happy is that Danzo should have a good rest instead of running around and letting people from the root to mess around with some tasks. .

Something happened to Gen’s people, and Danzo, the leader of Gen, would definitely not be able to sit still.

“If this matter is not investigated clearly, do you think I can still lie peacefully in the hospital?”

Danzo asked coldly.

“…”

He tried to comfort him with good intentions, but he choked on his nose, and the Third Hokage was immediately speechless.

Seeing that Danzo had no intention of leaving, he directly pulled up a chair and sat down. The Third Hokage had no choice but to follow him.

I believe that the ANBU people will return soon, and then Danzo will be allowed to rest as soon as possible.

Glancing at the expressionless Danzo, the Third Hokage secretly said: Tsunade needs to be urged, and it is not an option to just drag on Danzo’s injury.

“Hokage-sama.”

At this time, the ANBU people entered the Hokage’s office. The Third Hokage raised his hand and was about to speak. Unexpectedly, Danzo, who had been waiting impatiently, said hurriedly:

“Did you find any valuable clues?”

“this…….”

The ANBU ninja hesitated.

This is troublesome.

Hearing this somewhat embarrassed and hesitant tone, the Third Hokage knew that the ANBU had not collected much useful information.

Putting down his raised hand, the Third Hokage coughed and signaled with his eyes to tell Danzo not to worry.

“Just say it.”

“Yes, Hokage-sama.”

The ANBU ninja bowed respectfully and said in detail: “My subordinates led their subordinates to seal off the surrounding area. The scene was very chaotic. Even the corpses were eaten by wild beasts. In addition to finding a group of people with a strong smell of blood, coyote, and no other valuable intelligence was obtained.”

This is really bad news, the Third Hokage frowned.

“waste!!”

Danzo slammed the table angrily and cursed.

The ANBU ninja quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at Danzo. As for Danzo scolding him, he could only endure it.

“That’s enough Danzo!!”

The Third Hokage also scolded:

“This is the Hokage’s office, not Root headquarters.”

“snort!”

Danzo also knew that he had lost his composure, so he snorted, turned away, and remained silent.

“You go on.”

“yes.”

The ANBU ninja continued:

“Based on the investigation by my subordinates, I suspect that the problem comes from within us. The people who can’t do anything are among us. Outsiders have no way of knowing the detailed entrance and exit of the barrier.”

The problem is internal.

It was designated that it was done by one of our own people. No, it was done by a spy hidden among our own people. No useful information was collected at the scene, which means that the other party probably killed someone and returned to Konoha through the entrance and exit openly. .

In this case, your investigation outside is basically useless.

It’s really a tricky thing.

After a moment of silence, the Third Hokage waved his hand: “Thank you for your hard work. Go down and rest.”

“Subordinates resign!”

The ANBU ninja bowed and disappeared into the Hokage’s office.

“What do you think?”

Picking up his pipe and lighting it, the Third Hokage took a few deep puffs. The rich smell and smoke began to float in the office.

After going to bed, Xiaochun looked serious:

“Hiruzen, if it’s our internal problem, I’m afraid we’ll be in big trouble.”

“Once the node of the barrier is controlled by the enemy, the enemy can enter our Konoha unimpeded, or even leave, so we have to guard against it.”

Mito Kadoyan sighed, it was truly a troubled year, with troubles coming one after another.
