Chapter 243: suspicion
Chapter 243 Suspicion
In the huge conference room, there are about dozens of Junin gathered here.
Sitting at the front, there were a total of four people facing dozens of jounin.
Three generations of Naruto Sarutobi Hiruza.
Consultants moved to Koharu and Mito Menyan.
Root leader Shimura Danzo.
Due to the occurrence of emergencies and Danzo’s decision to cut first and play later, as Naruto’s Hinata, he had to return quickly from the Hyuga Clan to preside over the Jonin meeting here.
However, hosting the Jonin meeting at this time is not out of Hinichi's original intention.
Seeing that the Hyuga Clan has already reached an agreement, as long as Hyuga Hyusashi’s corpse is called out and replaced by Hyuga Hyuzu, the further deterioration of the relationship between Konoha and Yunyin can be avoided, and the war can also be avoided.
According to the news brought back by Anbu, Konoha Ninja, stationed on the eastern border of the Fire Country, had a team of Jōnin during a routine patrol, and clashed with a team of Yunyin.
At this critical moment of signing an armistice agreement with Yun Yin, various conflicts occurred again and again, which also constantly disturbed Hizhan's mind.
He sat there, intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Danzo next to him, and sighed softly in his heart.
Although there is no actual evidence, there is probably a shadow of Danzo behind this incident.
As the main combat faction among Konoha, although Danzo did not make any suggestions in the previous meetings, he must be dissatisfied with the way of resolving the war through peace talks with Yunyin.
If it is based on this kind of dissatisfaction, and in order to achieve a certain purpose, Danzo's attack at this time is indeed just right.
"About Mizuno Jonin's team and three members being killed by Kumoin's ninja, this is no longer a question of whether we are willing to negotiate peace, but Yunyin has no sincerity. Not only is he persecuting the Hinata clan in a rogue manner, but at this time he is also harassing the border of the country of fire and attacking and killing our Konoha Jonin. In response to this incident, I suggest that the peace negotiation solution proposed in the last meeting be abolished directly. If you want to sign, then fight to the end with them until they are willing to sign!"
Danzo, who was sitting in the front row, had a cold voice and a tough attitude of resolutely fighting.
Mizuno Jominin is Konoha Jominin who was killed by Yunyin at the border.
The three Chunin who accompanied him also died in the line of duty unfortunately.
Danzo's statement is also agreed by most ninjas of the main combat faction.
Although they don't like Danzo, the high-level elder who always likes to plot in the dark, they have to agree with his point of view at the moment.
Yun Yin was too aggressive, not only coercing the Hyuga clan in a shameless way, but also harassing the border at the moment, resulting in the death of one Jōnin and three Chunin from Konoha.
Pai Jonin, who originally disagreed with the peace talks, now has a firmer and stronger desire to fight Yunyin to the end.
Death is nothing more than death. They don't believe that every ninja in Yunyin is not afraid of death.
Konoha is not afraid of causing trouble.
The long-standing soft policy has also made their hearts stir.
Even the policy towards the Third Hokage began to be dissatisfied.
If the Fourth Hokage was in power, he would have led them to directly attack the hinterland of the Land of Thunder, forcing the Fourth Hokage to sign the armistice agreement himself.
"I agree with Elder Danzo's suggestion. Regardless of the Hyuga clan, it was originally Yunyin who wanted to steal Hinata's supercilious eyes, and then he insisted on hitting him. Now that Mizuno Jonobu has died in the line of duty, we can't let Yunyin go on."
"Yeah, Yun Yin is too deceitful. Now it's not them who are going to hold us accountable, it's us who are going to hold Yun Yin accountable."
Many Jnin also echoed Danzo's plan.
Yunyin's continuous persecution had already made them intolerable, and they were worried that they had no place to vent their anger.
"There are many doubts about this matter. Why did Mizuno Jonin's team conflict with Yunyin Ninja? We need to investigate carefully before making a judgment."
Ri Zhan also expressed his own opinion.
He really didn't want to see someone's secretly smug expression.
"That is to say, Master Hokage, do you still plan to resolve this incident through peace talks?"
A Jōnin asked a question.
This question can be said to be a heart-breaking statement.
"No, I just want to say that since the incident has happened, it is also important to find out the truth behind it. As for the peace talk with Yunyin..."
Hizhan knew at this time, once he said that he would continue to deal with Yunyin with the policy of peace talks and Huairou, then, after this incident, the number of jounin who supported Danzo might increase sharply.
This is something he doesn't want to see.
The power map at the root is already huge enough.
If Danzo's roots touch the sunlight on the ground, it will be enough to pose a fatal threat to him, Hokage.
But Danzo has lived in seclusion for several years, and has never given him the opportunity to make use of the topic.
The real reason why he wants to investigate this matter is not to compromise with Yun Yin, but to find evidence of Danzo's behind-the-scenes activities.
Including the transfer of personnel within the root, it is also a thorough investigation.
"Let's do this first. Continue to send 2,000 more ninjas to the eastern border to prevent Yun Yin. At the same time, I will also contact Yun Yin's Fourth Raikage by letter, and ask Yun Yin to hand over the offending ninja to Konoha."
At present, the main battle faction is powerful, how to control their emotions is the job of Hokage.
Although continuing to fight with Yun Yin can indeed effectively vent their anger...but what about after that?
Simply venting anger is the most meaningless thing.
Konoha has been fighting continuously for many years, and the consumption of various resources, as well as casualties, have long been imminent problems.
The daimyo is also urging to end the war as soon as possible, and it cannot be consumed anymore.
This is something that ninjas can ignore, but he, Hokage, cannot ignore it.
This is why he hopes that the Hyuga Clan can compromise on this.
The internal consumption is serious, and the root and tail cannot be lost. The daimyo has also sent people to warn many times that the war cannot continue.
Compromising all the balance points is what he, the third Hokage, tried his best to do.
Therefore, to a certain extent, you must satisfy the fighting desire of the main combat faction, but you can't talk to death, as if you want to fight Yun Yin to the death.
This is the most important.
Sure enough, upon hearing Hizan's arrangement, the Jonin of the main combat faction calmed down somewhat, thinking about the gains and losses involved.
Of course they understand that wars are not easy to fight.
Temporarily hot-headed, they just want to vent their depression in their hearts, and they can't understand Yun Yin's ugly face like a villain.
"How should we deal with the matter of the Hyuga clan?"
A Jōnin asked again.
"To refute this unreasonable request, now we, Konoha, are holding Yunyin accountable, not them holding us accountable."
Hizan replied simply like this.
At this time, any compromise would mean the failure of Hokage.
This point, Ri Zhan can see.
The main fighters do not want the Hyuga clan to make sacrifices for this.
Hyuga clan’s status in Konoha is self-evident. On the battlefield, they are Konoha’s best eyes, allowing Konoha ninjas to ignore all plots and calculations on the battlefield.
If Yunyin wants to hold Hyuga Clan accountable, then Konoha can also hold Yunyin responsible for killing them Konoha Mizuno Joshin, delay each other, and completely confuse the matter.
Regarding this, a rather calm voice suddenly sounded from among the Jōnin:
"If this is the case, then the international public opinion should be occupied as soon as possible, and this matter should be magnified to grab the head start."
About thirty years old, with two scars on his face, his eyes are full of wisdom.
The talking Jonin is none other than Shikahisa Nara.
His words can be said to awaken the dreamer.
Indeed, this matter should be well publicized, let Konoha occupy the commanding heights of public opinion, and condemn Yun Yin.
The reason why Yun Yin can manipulate the Hyuga clan arbitrarily is because when Konoha was still thinking about what to do, they had already narrated the things that turned black and white, forming a pressure of public opinion that was unfavorable to Konoha.
Even some villagers in Konoha believed it. He thinks that the village should hand over the murderer of the Hyuga Clan to Yun Yin, and not drag the whole Konoha down because of one person.
Therefore, it is very important to make a head start.
They are just using their own way to deal with their own body.
Just as Hizhan was about to answer, Danzo next to him had already answered first:
"I have asked someone to arrange this matter before the meeting. Are there any questions?"
"there is none left."
Lu Jiu replied with his expression unchanged.
At the beginning, he was still guessing, who among the Konohas had the courage to secretly plan this matter.
Looking at it now, there is no need to doubt it.
Jami Mizuno, who died in the line of duty, is probably a hidden person at the root.
So sacrificed without hesitation.
But what the facts are is not important anymore, what is important is how Konoha wants to package this fact and create public opinion pressure on Yunyin.
Although he doesn't like Danzo's usual behavior, he has to say that Danzo did a very beautiful job this time.
This problem has no solution.

"Damn Konoha, you actually used such a despicable way!"
The desk made of solid wood directly smashed Zong's iron fist into pieces, and a large number of documents fell to every corner of the room like a goddess scattering flowers.
The fourth generation of Raikage's body has already condensed a layer of thick thunder armor, entwined with lightning.
The hair on the top of his head stood upside down, obviously extremely angry.
Jonin Secretary Azabui helplessly looked at this scene, just sighed lightly.
If you want to say mean things, they can only be regarded as half a catty.
Importantly, this is the eighth desk replacement this month.
If this continues, Raikage's salary will be deducted.
Honestly speaking, as the leader of Ninja Village, it is extremely wrong to get angry easily.
But thinking about Raikage's practices in the past, and considering that most of the cloud hidden ninjas are the main fighters with strong muscles... Mabui sighed even more sadly.
"Go to war! Go to war with Konoha immediately! I want to go to the front line myself!"
The Fourth Raikage is in a subtle state of loss of control.
Mabui couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately stopped him: "Please don't do this, Raikage-sama. Now it is spreading wildly that we, Yun Yin, killed Konoha's Mizuno Joshin for no reason. It is too aggressive. If the reputation drops, it will affect the usual entrusted tasks."
"Damn Konoha! This is definitely not the method of the three generations of Hirazan!"
Although Azabui calmed himself down, Fourth Raikage still felt furious.
I think that such a method cannot come from the hands of the third Hokage.
That old man is not so sinister.
"It doesn't matter whose means it is, what matters now is how to end this matter."
Linen rubbed the aching brows.
She didn't expect Konoha to fight back in such a way.
"What else can I do, tell the truth about the matter!"
Fourth Raikage said so.
Yun Yin took the initiative to attack and killed Konoha's Jonin named Mizuno, which is simply nonsense.
It was obviously the Konoha ninja named Mizuno, who led three Chunin, rushed into Yunyin's position desperately, and killed dozens of Yunyin ninjas who had no time to react.
Among them, Yun Yin and two Junin sacrificed for this.
The cloud hidden ninja who lost his composure due to anger, caused manslaughter.
"The effect is minimal. Thinking about our previous public opinion war against the Hyuga Clan, it is very important to win people first. Even if we release the truth later, more people will only think that we are covering up our fault and responsibility, and give people a bad impression. Before, many villagers in the village appealed, demanding that those cloud hidden ninjas who killed Konoha ninjas for no reason, apologize to Konoha publicly, try to avoid war, and hope that Raikage-sama will write a review to review his own mistakes."
"..."
The fourth generation of Lei Ying wanted to vomit blood after hearing it.
But because of this, he was able to calm down, even though the expression on his face was very gloomy.
Seeing the Fourth Raikage calm down, Mabui finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then it can only be at the mercy of Konoha? Can't you make a fuss about the Hyuga clan?"
Fourth Raikage asked, frowning.
"Of course it can, but Konoha can also shirk it. We need to hand over the cloud hidden ninja who killed Konoha Mizuno Jominin in exchange for them to let the Hyuga clan hand over."
Konoha will definitely do this, Mabui can be sure.
The Huairou of the third Hokage also has a limit.
She doesn't think it's a good thing for Yunyin to let things stay in the lip service stage endlessly.
After wrangling to the end, Yun Yin will get nothing in the end.
For now, Yun Yin can no longer exert pressure on Konoha.
The original truth of the matter is not the main thing, what is important is that Konoha and Yunyin are tied at this time.
Kumin is pinching the Hyuga Clan, and Konoha is pinching the sore spot where the Kamogakure ninja killed Konoha Kaminin. If the two sides attack each other's weaknesses, they will only end up hurting both sides.
"Immediately convene the Jōnin meeting. No matter what the outcome is, we must come up with a reasonable charter."
The Fourth Raikage waved his hand and sighed helplessly.
"yes."
Ma Buyi nodded, and walked out of Lei Ying's office with a stack of documents in his arms.

"That is to say, don't I need to give Yun Yin an explanation now?"
Hyuga Clan, in the conference room, the expression on Higashi's face was slightly startled.
The elder of the clan in front of him nodded seriously, and said to him: "That's right, Hokage-sama has made another decision. You survived, day difference."
Mizuno Jominin was killed by the cloud hidden ninja. This incident has spread inside Konoha. Many people are filled with righteous indignation, and the voice of the main battle is getting louder and louder.
Based on this situation, even Hokage couldn't suppress such a voice, so he could only channel it slowly.
Thanks to the majority of the voices of the main combat faction, the Hyuga clan didn’t have to explain to Yunyin, and Nichiza naturally didn’t have to be a substitute for his brother Hinata Hinata to ease the conflict between Konoha and Yunyin.
After hearing the words of the elders of the clan, Rizai didn't know what his mood was at the moment.
Is happy, or fortunate, or both.
If he can survive, he is not willing to die.
He still has his own family, his son Ning is secondary education, and he still has a lot of life to live in the future.
But sometimes, for example, when the main family encounters troubles, the division of the family cannot escape the responsibility of protecting the main family.
So, whether it was voluntary or forced, his death was a way to avoid war and protect the clan.
But in the final analysis, Hinata is only a part of Konoha.
As a substitute for his elder brother Rizu, there is no silent oppression from the village high-level.
After all, the high-level officials of the village came to the Hyuga Clan only to find ninjas from the main family and branch families. The Hyuga Clan could only make suggestions, but not make decisions.
From the perspective of personality, the separation of the family is also a 'slave' whose freedom is restricted by the clan. The idea of separation is precisely what the clan and the village's senior management are fundamentally unwilling to pay attention to.
Separated ninjas cannot be viewed as a complete 'person'.
Therefore, while rejoicing that he survived, Rizai also felt a kind of sadness from the bottom of his heart.
He somewhat understands those branch ninjas who followed Hinata Ayane's defected family and village for freedom.
They want to be a complete 'person', not a decoration tool without freedom of thought and personality.
"Feel lucky?"
The patriarch asked with a smile.
He was originally unwilling to use this method to appease Yun Yin's anger.
Anyway, Nisashi is also a ninja who bears the title of Hinata.
Hyuga clan has never encountered such a humiliating thing since its establishment. It needs to sacrifice the lives of the clan to quell the flames of war.
But now is a new era of one country, one village.
No matter how brilliant the ninja clan is, they still have to act according to the rules of the village.
Hyuga has retained some traditions since ancient times, which is not easy.
"If there is no, then it is impossible. No one wants to die if they can live."
Risai smiled wryly.
The patriarch nodded and took out a letter from his pocket.
"Master Nizuzu asked me to bring it to you. Your last words are no longer needed. Because of Nizuzu-sama's obstruction, we still don't know the contents of the letter, including that Nizuzu-sama himself has not opened it. Now, you can dispose of it yourself."
The patriarch said.
"Brother?"
Riji murmured, took the envelope with complicated eyes, and stuffed it into his arms.
Find a place after you go back and burn this letter.
Indeed, this letter is no longer needed.
"There is one more thing, I want to ask you for proof."
After handing the letter to the day messenger, the elders of the clan stared at the day difference seriously, looking at him very seriously.
"Certification?"
Day Cha was confused by the sudden and serious attitude of the elders of the clan, and didn't know what the elders of the clan wanted to ask him for proof.
"Yes, please verify."
The look of the patriarch's elders was a matter of life and death, which made Riza feel that things were not easy.
"Please tell the elders, I will definitely say what I know."
"Well, then let me explain directly, someone in the branch family has contacted Danzo."
As soon as the patriarch opened his mouth, he broke the news of such explosive information, which made Rizai sit there very stiffly.
"Separation...to contact Danzo?"
Because the news was too jumpy, it took a while for the day to react.
"That's right. Hokage-sama has already found out that at the root of Danzo, a team sneaked out of the village. Soon thereafter, there was a border conflict. A Jonin and three Chunin in the village were killed by Yun Yin in a surprise attack."
"What does this represent? Don't you think that the person who separated the family dared to act like this without the order of the clan?"
Riji felt a trace of anger in his heart, but it didn't show on his face.
Since the Hyuga clan joined Konoha, they have never had the experience of reaching out for power, and they were also completely banned by the clan.
"The timing of Danzo's move was too coincidental, and, as far as I know, the family was separated... A while ago, a few guys suddenly disappeared for a while, and I don't know where they went and what they did."
The patriarch of the clan carefully stared at Rizai's somewhat angry face, trying to find out something from it.
"Without the permission of the main family, the people who separated the family would not do this!"
Riji still insists on his point of view.
Although his life can be said to have been saved by Danzo alone, in fact, he has nothing to do with Danzo.
The people who are separated from the family are also restricted by the clan. Even if they take the initiative to contact Danzo, it is impossible for Danzo to make any transactions with the people who are separated.
If someone from the Zong family came into contact with Danzo, the meaning would be different.
Compared with the separation of the family, the clan should be more suspicious.
"Then, Hinata Ayane's defection was also ordered by the clan?"
The face of the patriarch's elder became very dangerous.
Riji was speechless.
"However, Danzang is the main combat faction in the village. It is reasonable for him not to want to negotiate peace with Yunyin."
"But now Hokage-sama thinks that our Hyuga clan is secretly supporting the development of the roots, so Danzo Shishou rescued our clan and saved the face of the Hyuga clan."
The eyes of the patriarch pierced Risei's body like sharp knives.
"This is nothing at all!"
"It's not important. What's important is that Hinata has already been suspected by Hokage-sama. Naruto will be the target of Hokage's serious attack next. You go to warn the old guys who are separated from the family, so that they don't make mistakes, and don't do such stupid things that insult the family."
The patriarch of the clan took out a piece of paper with more than a dozen names written on it.
People with these names are all ninjas from the Hyuga clan, and some of them are high-ranking branch elders.
"Your next task is to monitor the movements of these people. In exchange for this, your son Neji can come to the sect to learn more advanced Rouquan."
"..."
Rizai's face was gloomy, and his hands were tightly clenched into fists.
He really wanted to punch his fist in the face of the elder of the sect, but he restrained himself in the end.
Because the elder of the patriarch and his elder brother are short of time, the other party will not show mercy to him, nor will he indulge his waywardness.
It doesn't matter if you are alone, Neji can't be implicated.
"I will keep an eye on them, but if they have no problems, I need an apology from the Zong family."
Riji stared at the old face of the elder of the clan, which seemed particularly disgusting to him.
The patriarch of the clan didn't care about the eyes of the day difference, after a short thought, he nodded.
"If they really have no problem, I will personally apologize to everyone in the family at the clan meeting. I shouldn't doubt my clansmen like this."
The elders of the patriarch promised so, Rizai left the seat with an ugly face, and walked outside the house.
The elders of the clan did not care about the daily difference.
Compared to the troublesome things that may be involved in the separation of the family and Danzo, the first thing to do now is to dispel Hokage's suspicion of Hinata.
Among the Konohas, once Hokage suspects him, things will get tricky.
