To pay off the debt, become Hokage!

Tsunade thought of the scroll that Uchiha Muneyuki took away and became thoughtful.

"Those scrolls...are they related to your experiences in the Rain Country? Are they the corpses of the enemies who attacked you?"

Uchiha Shigeka snapped his fingers and praised, "As expected of Teacher Tsunade, you guessed it right. This is what happened..."

Uchiha Shigeka told Tsunade and others what he had said to Uchiha Muneyuki.

Uchiha Mikoto had heard this from Uchiha Fugaku before, and she was terrified at the time and prayed that nothing would happen to Chonghua.

Now, after hearing Uchiha Shigeka's story again, Uchiha Mikoto felt the same way and was worried about Shigeka's experience.

Uchiha Mikoto grabbed Uchiha Shigeka's hand and said, "It's too dangerous, Shigeka. How can you go to such a dangerous place to attract the Iwagakure ninjas? We are surrounded by them. If something goes wrong..."

As she spoke, Uchiha Mikoto's beautiful eyes were filled with tears.

Uchiha Shigeka comforted her, "It's all over. I'm still alive and still standing here. Don't be sad, okay, Mikoto."

Chapter 139: Denunciation of Shimura Danzo

"This body is indeed from our Hyuga branch family."

The head of the Hyuga branch family, Hyuga Nakahira, said so.

Uchiha Muneyuki heard this and wanted to say something, but Hyuga Nakahei said to him first: "Please be patient, Uchiha Muneyuki, I haven't finished what I want to say yet."

Hinata Nakahira's eyes were as calm as an ancient well or a calm lake, without any ripples, and he looked at Hatake Sakumo with a calm gaze.

"Captain Hatake, you used to work in the Anbu, so you should know better than me that in a large clan with a large population, there are always a few people who are abandoned by the family."

Hyuga Nakahira glanced at the corpse of the Hyuga branch Root Ninja and said, "This corpse is one of those people. Since he has been abandoned, his actions have nothing to do with us."

"I think you know this, too."

Hinata Nakahei took one last look at Uchiha Muneyuki.

Uchiha Muneyuki's face was gloomy, of course he knew it.

Most of these [people abandoned by their families] have joined Shimura Danzo's roots, and because of his requests, they cut off all ties with their families and work wholeheartedly for Konoha... In fact, they are loyal to Shimura Danzo and work for him.

"...Just confirm that this body is from the Hyuga clan."

Uchiha Muneyuki did come here to identify the corpse.

He already had some guesses in his mind, but because of his unclear identity, he couldn't be sure of his ideas.

Now, with the words of the head of the Hyuga branch family, the idea has been confirmed.

The identity of the unknown force has been confirmed. They are from Konoha's own people. Based on the fact that they are "people abandoned by their families", they are more likely to be from the Root led by Danzo Shimura, the assistant of the Hokage.

After all, the Anbu led by the Hokage is not as ruthless as the Root and is not willing to cut ties with the family.

Uchiha Muneyuki glanced at Hinata Nakahei and said in a bad tone: "You said something wrong, Hinata Nakahei. My family has a large population, but there is no "person abandoned by the family". You should be more careful when speaking, don't you think?"

The Uchiha clan and Shimura Danzo are enemies and hate each other. How could they be "forced" to give up several family members because of the threats and inducements of the other side?

Only a family like the Hyuga clan, who like to play both sides and act as political socialites, would be willing to do this.

Hinata Zhongping seemed not to hear what Uchiha Muneyuki meant. He nodded calmly and said, "You are right."

Uchiha Muneyuki sighed in his heart. This kind of reaction... is no different from hitting cotton.

"Captain Sakumo, what do you think?"

Uchiha Muneyuki looked at Hatake Sakumo. His identity was already clear. Everyone present had some understanding of Konoha's high-level officials, and with a little deduction they could clearly identify the culprit.

Uchiha Muneyuki reminded him, "My junior, Uchiha Shigeka, was once attacked by his own family."

He didn't specify who it was, but he believed that Hatake Sakumo would definitely understand.

Hatake Sakumo stroked his slightly stubbled chin, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's inform the Hokage first. How to deal with this matter will ultimately depend on the Hokage."

"We have no power to deal with this matter... However, fighting within the same family and killing companions is always a big deal. In Konoha, this is considered a traitor, but that person has a close relationship with the Hokage..."

Snapped!

The door of the command center was opened, and Tsunade walked in with an angry look on her face. Behind her was Uchiha Shigeka who looked inside curiously.

"What's wrong with having a close relationship? This is actually stabbing one of your own companions. I don't believe that the old man can still protect that guy Shimura Danzo!"

Tsunade patted Uchiha Shigeka's shoulder and said with dissatisfaction: "Speaking of which, that guy attacked my apprentice last time, and I was very dissatisfied with the old man's final solution. Now he attacks my apprentice again, which really irritates me. Again and again, what does it mean!"

"Besides, it's not just my apprentice who suffered this time. Other Konoha companions also died at the hands of Shimura Danzo. There's blood and lives lost. I can't just stand by and let Shimura Danzo escape justice!"

Tsunade clapped her hands, the sound echoing in the command center.

Tsunade looked at everyone present with a pair of golden eyes and said, "I propose that we jointly report to the old man. The more people, the better. We must deal with Shimura Danzo impartially and not show favoritism or corruption! I will take the lead and sign the first one. Who of you will follow me!"

Uchiha Muneyuki immediately said: "Me! Not just me, all of us in the Uchiha clan come and sign!"

——If they sign together and carry the people's support to overthrow Danzo Shimura...it would be best if they kill him. That would be absolutely no loss for the Uchiha clan and could be considered a great thing to celebrate!

Hatake Sakumo also expressed his willingness to do his part and take action against his own companions, as he hated this kind of behavior the most.

Tsunade said to Uchiha Shigeka, "You should also sign. If this old man wants to make light of the repeated plots against his own disciples, he should not be the Hokage anymore!"

Seeing Uchiha Shigeka nod, Tsunade was satisfied, and then looked at Hyuga Nakahei who was standing aside with a calm look.

Seeing everyone's gazes, Hyuga Nakahei cupped his hands and said, "This matter is of great importance. We need to discuss it with the main family. Please rest assured, I will definitely report the matter here and your intention to jointly report it."

"The situation is urgent. The conversation with the Zong family will take time. I will take my leave now."

"Eh......"

Tsunade stretched out her hand to stop him, but Hyuga Nakahei left in a hurry after he finished speaking without waiting for anyone else to react.

"Hmph, this old guy backed down in the end." Uchiha Muneyuki looked at him with disdain.

"They are so cold-hearted. Even though he is [abandoned by the family], he is still a family member after all. We share the same bloodline. How could they really just ignore him and cut him off completely?"

"Or..." Uchiha Muneyuki snorted coldly, "Are you afraid that the victim's relatives and friends will come to cause trouble?"

The bodies of Muramasa and others remain unidentified, but the identities of the bodies of the Hyuga branch have been confirmed. Those who have lost their relatives and friends naturally need a place to vent their grief.

"Then he should stand up and denounce Shimura Danzo with us! What's going on with him shrinking like he is now? Doesn't this seem like something fishy is going on..."

Uchiha Muneyuki was suddenly stunned, and said thoughtfully: "Could it be that the Hyuga clan is not innocent and is also involved in this matter?"

Hatake Sakumo shook his head and said, "Muneyuki, don't speculate. Everyone has different opinions. We just need to do what we think is right and we can't force others to do anything."

"Yes, Captain Sakumo."

Uchiha Muneyuki suppressed his suspicious thoughts and responded respectfully.

......

Chapter 140: Intercepted by Hatake Sakumo

A ninja who is a jonin holds an important position in the village.

Whenever there is an important matter, the Hokage will hold a meeting with the jonin to discuss it together.

Uchiha Shigeka signed his name. He was also a Jonin and the youngest Jonin since the establishment of Konoha.

Furthermore, he was also the core figure in the internal murder incident of Konoha, and his signature added some weight.

However, Uchiha Shigeka was not optimistic about the joint report condemning the incident.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen could not hold all the power, Sakamoto was kind-hearted and willing to listen to and adopt other people's opinions.

But that doesn't mean he can't do anything. The two advisors, Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu, and Shimura Danzo...

These are all Sarutobi Hiruzen's support and gloves. If he really wants to accomplish something, his old comrades will help him take control of the power and implement what he wants to do.

The Jonin Conference sounds great, but once the Hokage is really determined to do something, isn't it likely that these Jonins will unite to stop him?

The majority of these jonin are civilian ninjas, and most of these civilian ninjas were promoted by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Grateful for the training and promotion of Sarutobi Hiruzen, they also make up the majority of the jonin...

To borrow the words of Uchiha Itachi: It is not until you become Hokage that people will recognize you; it is only when people recognize you that you become Hokage.

This sentence is most suitable for Sarutobi Hiruzen - at least that's what it seems on the surface. There are so many twists and turns in his life that it can't be summarized in a simple sentence.

Uchiha Shigeka shook his head and returned behind Tsunade.

——Let him see how his good master will deal with Shimura Danzo this time.

Uchiha Shigeka narrowed his eyes slightly.

Tsunade nodded, holding the autograph book in her hand with satisfaction, and said, "Okay, I will notify the other jonin later and make sure they sign it."

Uchiha Muneyuki nodded and continued, "I will notify the clan leaders and ask them to come and sign. Oh, and also the Aburame clan, the Inuzuka clan, the Yamanaka clan..."

The more Uchiha Muneyuki thought about it, the more urgent it felt. He quickly said to Uchiha Shigeka, "Shigeka, tell everyone to take a day off today. We will be on the road tomorrow and return to the Northern Command as soon as possible."

"and many more."

Uchiha Muneyuki looked at Hatake Sakumo who spoke in confusion: "Captain Sakumo, is there anything else? Please give me your instructions."

"You don't have to go back. Stay here and act with us."

Hatake Sakumo directly intercepted it.

"what?"

Uchiha Muneyuki was surprised, and Hatake Sakumo explained: "You have been traveling for many days, take a good rest here."

"Besides that, we also plan to head north to join Orochimaru, Jiraiya and the others. You guys should come north with us."

The command headquarters of the southern flag bearer Sakumo and the command headquarters of Orochimaru in the north were separated by a ninja unit led by Chiyo of Sunagakure.

Hatake Sakumo is heading north to join Orochimaru, Jiraiya and the others, and the first thing he has to eliminate is the Sand Village Chiyo who is standing in the way.

Hatake Sakumo shook his head: "Chiyo of Sunagakure has no intention of retreating on her own initiative. Haha, I killed her son and daughter-in-law. Chiyo hates me to the core and will never retreat on her own initiative no matter what."

Uchiha Shigeka: "So..."

Tsunade laughed, winked at Uchiha Shigeka playfully and said, "That depends on your teacher. I have completely analyzed Chiyo's method of making poisons and grasped the pattern of the old woman's poison making."

As she spoke, Tsunade took out a bottle from her arms, shook it, and the clear liquid swayed in the bottle.

"Here, a universal antidote specially formulated for old lady Chiyo!"

Uchiha Shigeka took it, looked at it curiously, and asked, "Is it really omnipotent?"

Tsunade patted his shoulder and smiled confidently, "At least it's omnipotent for old lady Chiyo!"

Hatake Sakumo looked at Tsunade with admiration: "Thanks to your teacher, we can go all out."

"Without the toxin interference from Sunagakure Chiyo, their strength is no match for ours. Moreover... we have also discovered the Sunagakure's food supply route."

Hatake Sakumo gestured to Uchiha Shigeka and the other man to look at the map on the wall.

Hatake Sakumo pointed to the south of the Rain Country. Uchiha Shigeka looked up and saw a blue line connecting the camp where Sunagakure Chiyo belonged.

"The starting point is... the Sand Village camp that was left behind in the south of the Rain Country?"

Hatake Sakumo nodded: "Yes, come to think of it, you have dealt with them before, Ye Cang who used the Scorch Release, and the woman who almost killed Uchiha Fugaku."

——Uchiha Fugaku’s report was quite detailed, even mentioning such embarrassing things.

"Aren't they also short of food, so little that they have to burn, kill and plunder in the Rain Country... Wait, is that a trick? To make people think that they themselves are short of food, but in fact they are secretly sending supplies to Chiyo?"

"They are indeed short of food." Hatake Sakumo confirmed, and then said: "But just because they are starving doesn't mean Chiyo's troops are starving."

"Ye Cang and the others only kept a small portion of the food and supplies they collected for themselves, and the rest was transported south and given to Chiyo."

"Not only that, Chonghua, I never said there is only one food route."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Shigeka looked to the west of Chiyo's camp, which was the Kingdom of Wind with vast yellow sand.

Hatake Sakumo said dimly: "We are going north not only to defeat Chiyo's troops, but also to occupy the northern part of the River Country and cut off the supply line between the Wind Country and the Sunagakure frontline troops."

"The map doesn't show the route that the Wind Country uses to supply Chiyo..."

Hatake Sakumo spread his hands and said, "Because we haven't found any food supply routes in the direction of the Wind Country, but we are sure that the food supply routes must exist."

Uchiha Muneyuki suddenly said: "Don't worry about the food supply route to the Wind Country in the west. Without the influence of the poison, our Konoha is stronger than the Sand Village. Don't worry about the west. Just destroy the food supply route to the Rain Country, and then attack the Chiyo troops in the middle from the north and south..."

"That's right." Hatake Sakumo pointed to the map again, pointing to the Konoha troops in the north to which Orochimaru belonged.

"Orochimaru and his men are still in a stalemate with Hanzo, and they don't have much strength to invest. I have notified them to allocate some ninjas to head towards the grain route from the north. We will send some people here, so that after destroying the grain route in the direction of the Rain Country, there will be enough ninja forces to maneuver and defend between Ye Cang and Chiyo, so as not to be attacked by them in the opposite direction."

"Of course, we will move together on the day of the operation. We will attack northwards and share the manpower of Chiyo's side. You won't be under too much pressure."

"us?"
