Naruto: The Strongest Force

"When I get back, I'll personally guide you a few more times."

"Kakashi also wants to see White Fang."

The two of them did not notice that while they were communicating, there were three flies staying by the door outside the laboratory.

After the two of them finished talking, the three flies all flew up and flew towards the outside of Konoha.

A little bird jumped from the tree and flew quickly, and the fly

Suddenly one was missing.

The remaining two flies paused in mid-air, then separated and fled in two directions.

The little bird turned its head, then stared at one of them and flew over.

Within a few seconds, the bird flew by and the fly disappeared into the sky.

……

Orochimaru responded to Sunagakure Village through official channels.

He would go over and attend the ceremony.

This suddenly made the people of Sunagakure unable to deal with it, and Orochimaru was considered to be devalued.

Hurry up and improve the reception aspect.

A special mission was sent to pick up Orochimaru.

Chiyo volunteered and was already on his way here.

After Sarutobi Takaaki learned the news, he felt that Orochimaru would be looking for him, and he had been waiting in the room.

Sure enough, at night.

Hongdou came to invite him over again.

Sarutobi Chongmei was worried, and his thoughts were wandering along the way.

Soon I saw Orochimaru.

"Hokage-sama." Sarutobi Takaaki knew that nothing good would happen if he came here tonight.

Because in recent times, the living space of the Sarutobi clan has been being compressed.

The Sarutobi clan's family property has also shrunk a lot.

Orochimaru still charges the Sarutobi clan's loan fees every month.

This made the already poor Sarutobi clan even worse.

Thinking of what happened some time ago, I couldn’t wait to report:

"Lord Hokage, Hitomi accidentally obtained information when she transferred to bed before. The Fourth Hokage and Uchiha Natsuki..."

Orochimaru pressed his hand: "No need to say it, I know."

Orochimaru paused and said, "I will take advantage of the opportunity to go to Sunagakure Village to bring some of Konoha's elites out."

"I have arranged a place for you. You should leave Konoha temporarily. If you don't leave before Minato comes back, you won't be able to leave."

"This is the money you recently handed over."

Saying that, Orochimaru threw down two scrolls to Sarutobi Takaaki.

That was the scroll that Sarutobi Takaaki handed over some time ago, and it was the money that needed to be paid back to Orochimaru every month.

Sarutobi Takaaki took the scroll in his hand and was deeply moved.

"Hokage-sama, is the situation so serious?"

Orochimaru also seemed a little upset:

"There are so many ninja clans, who will let your family be the only one?"

"The old man has done too many things. The Sarutobi clan will only get trampled into the mud if they stay in Konoha."

"Don't waste your energy here. You should lurk for a while first."

"If you leave Konoha, you will immediately become a traitorous ninja. Hide in the place I gave you. Someone will take you to the Sound Ninja Village later."

Sarutobi Takaaki also knew that there was no way around it.

"Asuma and Sarutobi Tsune may disagree."

Orochimaru closed his eyes: "You don't care what they do, they are a minority."

Sarutobi Takaaki understood what Orochimaru meant: "I understand, Hokage-sama."

"You have to be quick. I'll have someone at the south gate at midnight in two days."

"Go."

……

Chapter 740 Who is telling the truth?

The people from Sand Hidden Village arrived soon.

The team leader is Chiyo, who has retired for many years but has returned to the board of directors in the past two years.

Orochimaru took Kakashi, Sai, and dozens of ANBU masters and set off.

Although some people are talking about Orochimaru leaving the village, it is not a big problem.

Ordinary villagers thought that the Fourth Hokage was still in the village.

Only some elders knew that the Fourth Hokage had left the village for some time.

During this period, Lu Jiu would handle any government affairs.

However, the Yondaime Hokage's Flying Thunder God can return to Konoha at any time, and no one is worried.

Of the Sarutobi clan members I've seen wandering around recently, I can't see any of them today.

Sarutobi clan land.

The Sarutobi clan did not have enclosures before. It was only after the clansmen returned to Konoha that they surrounded the place where they lived.

Today the Sarutobi clan gathered here to hold a clan meeting.

The Sarutobi clan did not have a tradition of holding clan meetings before.

But regarding the recent corruption of the Sarutobi clan, everyone knows that this is the excuse of the third elder Sarutobi Takaaki.

However, some elite Sarutobi clan members blocked all the entrances and exits of the clan.

It gave many tribesmen some voice to discuss.

In the meeting hall, the three elders, Sarutobi Hisashi, Sarutobi Daigo, and Sarutobi Takaaki, were all there, and Asuma was also there.

There are dozens of minor leaders of the Sarutobi clan below.

These people basically returned to Konoha from the outside world. They have no roots in Konoha and basically no family members.

There are many people who are members of the Sarutobi ANBU, and they are basically the strongest force in the Sarutobi clan.

This clan meeting was proposed by Sarutobi Takaaki, so he was naturally the first to speak: "I am going to take the clan members to leave Konoha temporarily."

"Wow..."

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Sarutobi Takaaki suddenly said this, and the tribesmen below immediately started talking.

The first person to object was Asuma.

"Sarutobi Takaaki, are you crazy?"

Asuma became anxious and immediately started spraying Sarutobi Takaaki.

He didn't even care that Sarutobi Takaaki was his uncle, because leaving Konoha would be tantamount to betraying the village!

"Do you know this is rebellion against the village?! Do you want to kill us all?"

This is not allowed in any ninja village.

Not to mention that you are still a member of the former Hokage's clan.

Sarutobi Takaaki was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic, letting Asuma spit on his face without any intention of speaking.

The people below were all noisy, but after a while, the voices gradually became weaker.

Even Asuma looked at this clan uncle who was usually the most aggressive, wanting to hear what he had to say.

"Kato Dan and Uzumaki Kushina are both resurrected."

"And it's not Orochimaru's handiwork."

Sarutobi Takaaki didn't show off, he just said to the tribesmen below:

"You also saw the recent bulletin board. Do you know why our Sarutobi clan suddenly suffered liquidation?"

Not many people know the news about Kushina and Zuan's resurrection.

Naturally, it won't be written on the bulletin board.

Now the Sarutobi tribe below suddenly realized.

"Whether it's Uzumaki Kushina or Kato Dan, they are all on Tsunade's side."

"How many ninjas have we offended since we came back, and how many advantages have we taken advantage of?"

"Now that we have exposed so many problems, there is more than one ninja clan who is hostile to our Sarutobi clan."

The tribesmen below began to discuss.

Asuma said at this time: "The Fourth Hokage and Tsunade will not hold us responsible. They just need to make money with peace of mind and return it to the Fifth Hokage."

I don’t know who said:

"In the past Orochimaru was on our side, but now Orochimaru also wants us to pay back the money. Orochimaru is not a good person either."

Asuma's brows were already furrowed. Today's affairs were really a mess.

Sarutobi Takaaki snorted angrily: "In the past, we would have had no problems, but Hiruzen-sama left too many problems behind, which made us infamous."

He raised the two storage scrolls in his hands:

"Some people say that the Fifth Hokage is not a good person. This is the loan we have paid to the Hokage in the past two months. The Hokage has quietly paid it back to us in private."

"But it's not that the Godaime Hokage doesn't give us a way to survive, it's that Tsunade doesn't give us a way to survive."

"Let us leave Konoha. I was told by the Godaime Hokage."

"Otherwise Sunagakure Village chooses Kazekage, why does Hokage-sama have to go?"

"If we don't leave here, the Yondaime Hokage will come back and we won't be able to leave."

The people below received so much information and started talking.

Even Asuma was a little confused at this time. He didn't know whether the higher-ups were going to purge the Sarutobi clan.

But he recalled what the Yondaime Hokage said to him when he pushed his weapon back with a warm smile, and it didn't seem like he was lying.

what happened? Who is telling the truth?

Or is there some kind of deal with the higher-ups?

Asma has stayed in Daming Mansion for a while and knows a little bit about it.

If there is strife at the top, the people below will be crushed into powder if they are not careful.

Asuma opened his mouth, wanting to say that the Yondaime Hokage had promised that there would be no reckoning.

But he couldn't say it, even if he believed the Yondaime Hokage.

But can those casual remarks be taken seriously?

If it is false, he cannot bear the responsibility.

At this time, Sarutobi Takaaki dropped another bombshell.

"Some time ago, people from the dormitory clan saw Uchiha Natsuki appearing in the Hokage's office, chatting happily with the Fourth Hokage."

Boy, this news is very explosive.
