Naruto: All depends on Kyuubi C

After taking the compiled list handed over by Shikaku, Sandai's hands were trembling as he looked at the familiar names on it.

The Anbu can be said to be the most trusted subordinate of the Hokage, and they can even have access to a lot of secret information that even the village jounin cannot access.

The entire ANBU organization has only 70 people in total, and at this moment, nearly [-]% of the ANBU have been affected. No one knows whether the remaining ANBU have been infiltrated...

Is it even possible that the other party affects not only the ANBU, but also other people in the village?

Once the seeds of suspicion are planted, no one can guarantee safety unless there is absolutely proven evidence.

"...Now the elite ninjas within each family have temporarily taken over the monitoring work in each area to eliminate suspicious persons."

"As for the other Anbu, although it has been confirmed that there are no records related to Uchiha Shisui in the missions they performed this year..."

"But I personally suggest that if allowed, it is best not to use them yet."

After Nara Shikaku made a comprehensive analysis of the intelligence, he suggested:

"After all, ANBU is a unit directly under your command, Hokage-sama. Once there is a problem, it can no longer be used."

"In short, if Team [-] hadn't discovered it in time, the consequences would have been disastrous..."

There were 40 ANBU people present that day alone, and according to the subsequent investigation, these people had indeed accepted the mission sent by the Third Generation to investigate the body of Uchiha Shisui——

But those were not at the same time.

"That is to say, it is currently impossible to confirm whether there are still people who are being manipulated among the current ANBU team."

The Third Hokage rubbed his brow, unable to even muster much energy.

And Shikaku also quietly waited for the Hokage to make a decision.

"...Gather the people together."

Sandai was silent for a long time and then ordered.

Soon, basically all the jounin and heads of major families who participated in this incident that day arrived.

Obviously everyone knew that this matter was serious and had been waiting for notification.

"Once upon a time, Uchiha Shisui told the village about his abilities. The interval between uses was at least ten years, but it is obvious...whether he deceived or concealed it, or due to other unexpected circumstances, this time There is a discrepancy.”

"Be prepared for the worst. The other party can activate this ability at any time."

"We cannot allow such a threat to remain in Konoha!"

The Third Hokage looked around at everyone and said seriously:

"Now, in the name of Hokage, I issue the following orders in the village!"

"First, form three special operations teams, with at least three Jonin as the core of the team. Try your best to track down the whereabouts of Uchiha Shisui, and be sure to find him... life or death!"

"I propose that the three of you, Hinata Hizatsu, Aburame Shihui, and Inuzuka Kuma, be responsible for organizing the formation of this team. We will also try our best to bring back the Jonin who are away during this period, and you can choose as many good players as possible! "

Shikaku quickly assigned this task to the family most suitable for the reconnaissance combat mission.

"Yes!"

The three people in front of me took the order.

"Second, strengthen patrols in the village. This requires the cooperation of various families. We will set up a temporary communication base to monitor and feedback the real-time situation of patrolling ninjas. At least in the village, no matter where they are, there will be a real-time Contact point for feedback.”

"In the mountains, it's up to you to organize the induction troops. I have arranged for the enchantment team to change the enchantment in the village to the observation model as soon as possible. You have to work hard during this period."

The real-time feedback mechanism allows perceptive ninjas to capture the movements of patrolling ninjas in the village and establish mental connections without leaving home.

In this case, no matter what kind of attack is encountered, the contact point can get feedback as soon as possible.

As a regulatory tool, the effect is immediate.

But this is also a huge pressure for the sentient ninja, and it is even equivalent to consuming the precious sentient ninja as a prop.

Generally speaking, this tactic will not be used unless it is a large-scale war.

Obviously, for Konoha at this time, an enemy who can modify the consciousness of others and has extremely strong mobility, the threat posed by Uchiha Shisui is no less than a war.

The honest man Yamanaka Haiichi accepted the task directly without any complaints.

"Yes!"

"And third..."

Sandai hesitated for a moment, then continued:

"In a while, we, the Country of Fire, will be the host, and the Country of Wind and the Country of Water will jointly organize the Three Kingdoms Joint Chuunin Examination. In order to ensure that the Chuunin Examination can proceed smoothly, I will make some adjustments to the current security and examiners. ....."

"With all due respect, I think the Chuunin Exams are up for debate!"

When Sandai mentioned this matter, some people raised objections.

"Hokage-sama, it was easy to say before, but now that Uchiha Shisui has happened, the information that the fourth generation Mizukage has joined the Akatsuki organization can be basically confirmed."

"It can be confirmed that the Fourth Mizukage and even the Kirigakure Village have no good intentions. Uchiha Shisui was sent back by them from the Kirigakure Village!"

"Maybe the Akatsuki organization is in Kirigakure Village. This is obviously a joint plan to defeat our Konoha from the inside out."

"Yes, if Kakashi Ban and the others hadn't discovered it in time, Konoha would have suffered heavy losses."

"Sure enough, this Chunin Exam should be canceled, or people from Kirigakure Village should not be allowed to participate!"

It was obvious that most people's current views on Kirigakure Village had changed, and they all expressed objections to the Three Kingdoms Joint Chuunin Examination mentioned by the Third Generation.

However, Shikaku did not speak this time.

As the current nominal strategist and de facto Hokage's assistant, Shikaku has noticed the meaning of Sandai's words just now——

This is an order issued in the name of the Hokage, not a discussion.

"...The Chuunin Exams will continue as scheduled."

The third generation's voice suppressed everyone's opinions, but in the eyes of everyone's doubts, the third generation still gave a simple explanation: "At this juncture, we have no evidence to attack Kirigakure Village, and the invitations have been sent to all friendly parties before. If Konoha proposes to cancel or unilaterally cancel Kirigakure Village’s qualifications at this time, it will lead to criticism and pressure from the daimyo.”

It is necessary for ninjas to obey orders. No matter how many doubts they have, since the Hokage's order has been issued, everyone can only accept it.

After receiving their orders and retreating, many people still felt strange about Sandai's decision at this time.

Isn't this obviously sending ammunition to others?

"Shikaku, has Kakashi set off?"

When everyone dispersed, only Sandai and Shikaku were left in the office. Sandai looked exhausted, as if he remembered something and confirmed with Shikaku.

"After Kakashi discussed with me last night, he and Asuma formed a team and set off. The situation is serious. I believe Jiraiya-sama and Tsunade-sama will return to the village immediately after receiving their news."

"Also...Hokage-sama, are you sure you want to take Kakashi's opinion?"

"Don't you think it's feasible?"

"It's a pretty bold move, but if it's true as he said, it's indeed a better way to fight back."

"Just do it like that, Shikaku. I'm a little tired. You can make arrangements."

"......Yes."

Shikaku also left.

Only Sandai was left to look at the photo of Minato hanging on the wall and murmured: "That's what you meant, Minato."
