Konoha: We, the Uchiha, are ready to give up!

After finishing speaking.

Danzo ignored everyone and simply turned and left the Sarutobi clan with the Root members.

Koharu and Homura exchanged a glance before going their separate ways.

……

In the tea room.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression shifted between light and dark.

Even at this moment, he had no mind to think about the Uchiha clan.

He was more concerned about his three 'old friends'!

Their attitude just now was a bit too strange.

He pondered for a long time after thinking about this.

After smoking three large pipes of tobacco, he spoke in a low voice.

"Anbu!"

"Call Shinnosuke over right now."

"By the way, there's also..."

"Find all the whereabouts of the three elders over the past few days."

Outside the tea room.

One of the secret agents bowed and left.

Hiruzen Sarutobi gazed at the night outside the window, his brow furrowed with an unyielding sorrow.

Even a hint of fear.

Because he had a vague feeling that something big was about to happen.

Compared to the Uchiha, he was more afraid of his three old friends.

After all, this is his base. Enemies are not a big deal, but if something happens to his base, it could be a huge disaster.

The behavior of his three 'old friends' just now made it impossible for him to calm down.

and so.

After the ANBU member left, Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned, and his brain began to work frantically.

only.

He simply couldn't understand what had happened.

Time slowly passed.

About half an hour later, the member of the secret service finally arrived.

only.

At this moment, however, he was filled with fear.

The moment he entered, he knelt down, trembling uncontrollably.

Upon seeing this scene, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a jolt in his heart.

Good guy!

There's no need to guess anymore; something terrible has definitely happened.

Without uttering a single unnecessary word, he immediately spoke coldly.

"What happened?"

"And where is your secret service captain?"

"Hurry up, tell me!"

The kneeling ANBU member was covered in cold sweat.

But there was nothing we could do.

He still spoke in a trembling voice.

"Captain, he's missing!"

"According to the personnel left behind in the secret service, the captain suddenly seemed to have received some information about an hour ago, and then left the secret service alone."

"Upon learning that you, Hokage, were looking for the Captain, the entire Anbu launched a large-scale search throughout Konoha!"

"But, unfortunately."

"We still haven't found any trace of the brigade leader."

"And the whereabouts of the three elders are currently here!"

After speaking tremblingly, the secret service personnel respectfully held the scroll high.

obviously.

He is not stupid.

Judging from the current situation, something big is definitely going to happen!

The captain of the Anbu, Sarutobi Shinnosuke, is the son of the Hokage.

Such a sudden and unclear disappearance, and then suddenly demanding to know the whereabouts of the three elders.

This is fucking ridiculous.

The sky is falling!

only.

What frustrated him was why he was the one who suffered the misfortune.

If he had known that something so big would happen today, he probably would have taken leave immediately.

But, alas!

After letting out a helpless sigh, he briefly explained the situation, then bowed his head and awaited Hiruzen Sarutobi's judgment.

Chapter 228 Hiruzen Sarutobi Makes His Move, Terrifying Speed ​​in Investigating the Case!

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a tremor in his heart.

disappeared?

What a joke!

This is Konoha, the strongest village in the ninja world. It has a huge outer barrier, and the sealing team is on guard 24 hours a day. Inside, there are also ANBU and police patrol teams protecting it around the clock.

In addition to the vigilant ninjas from various ninja clans, the missing person was none other than the captain in charge of the ANBU.

Shinnosuke may not be that strong, but he's still comparable to a Kage-level powerhouse like myself.

However, within the normal ninja range, he can be considered an elite Jonin.

Even if some trouble does occur, surely there's time to launch a signal flare?

Therefore, it was almost subconscious.

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt an increasingly ominous feeling growing stronger.

Another issue is Shinnosuke's sudden departure.

Without any prior contact with anyone, they were able to directly obtain Shinnosuke's contact information.

There is only one: spirit communication!

The Sarutobi clan possesses a special communication method that only its core disciples can control.

The Ape Demon Clan!

Was the Sarutobi clan also involved in this incident?

Feeling increasingly uneasy, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately began to examine the surveillance reports from the Anbu against his three "old friends."

Then, everyone was dumbfounded.

Tonight, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado both secretly went to Root and contacted Danzo.

Followed by.

Root and Utatane clan ninjas began to be secretly mobilized, but the specifics were not found, because the methods used by the ninjas on both sides were in no way inferior to those of the Anbu.

Considering that they were elders, the secret service did not dare to forcibly monitor them.

What surprised him even more was Mitokado Yan!

According to the Anbu's investigation, this guy secretly came to his Sarutobi clan?

What's going on?

Why would a Konoha elder secretly come to the Sarutobi clan?
