The Thousand Faces of Konoha's Weird Man

88 The dust has settled

Raising his brows, Saki secretly thought that these old guys knew how to play. Are they planning to prevent himself from getting in trouble? He was sure that he didn't have time to conspire with Sarutobi or Kira. What the elders wanted to know, Saki knew very well, wasn't it? The truth? But where the truth is, do they really believe it? Humans only like to believe what they want to believe.

This is a bit like the Chinese feudal superstition, where the left eye will jump to wealth and the right eye will jump to disaster. One day while walking on the road, my left eye twitched. I was in a good mood and felt that I was going to get rich. But if your right eye twitches, most people might say: Go to n’s feudal superstition.

Human beings have always been animals with double standards. Whether Zoji tells the truth or lies, they have their own judgment.

What's more, Zoji really doesn't want to let these dying old guys know what he is planning. The asymmetry of information is the biggest reliance on me to get to where I am today.

"I don't quite understand what the elders want me to say."

"Of course you obeyed Danzo and colluded with Orochimaru." Kira's actions had already made Senju Jinma feel grudge, even though he knew that this guy was his ally before the outcome was decided. But when allies want to come in and share the cake, this relationship no longer exists. Such creatures are called enemies, and they are targets that need to be eradicated.

Therefore, a very interesting situation emerged on the scene. In the general direction, the Senju clan needed to unite the Fire Nation behind Kira, but when it came to the issue of the Third Generation and Danzo, the Senju clan had to attack Kira's representative Sakichi. After all, Kira and the others want to get involved in Konoha's affairs, and Root is the best place to start, which is currently in a power vacuum. It is the basic operation of a politician to win over one faction and fight against another, so before Koharu could go to bed and speak, Senju Nima couldn't wait to jump out.

"This is..." Zuoji doesn't know the guys from the Thousand Hands Clan. In other words, this group of people always hides in places where ordinary people can't see and controls everything. It makes sense that Zuoji has never seen them. If you don’t understand your position or the other party’s identity, don’t talk nonsense. Just like don't look around in the Northeast, accidents can easily happen.

"Ahem, Elder Senju Nijian, please don't get too excited." Senju Nijian is so anxious, and his purpose is obvious. Compared to the hot-tempered Koharu, Mito Monobu is better at pushing a thousand pounds. With these words, he not only pulled the right to speak in his own direction, but also secretly nodded to Senju Nima, and even told Sakichi the other party. As for his identity, the word Senju is a kind of business card in Konoha. Needless to say, everyone knows, "According to the information we have, Elder Danzo seems to have approached you alone before recommending you to join the ANBU. We have reason to suspect , you played a disgraceful act in this large-scale invasion of Konoha by the Sand Ninja Village and the Sound Ninja."

What does it mean to have information that is not someone's tip? There are only two ways for the group of elders to grasp this kind of information. One is Danzo himself. He feels that he has been fooled and wants to get a few more backers. The second possibility is that the Sarutobi clan is too low-level. Whether they are undercover agents installed by each other or they are forced to sell themselves in exchange for benefits. There is not much difference between the two. In short, in the eyes of this group of superiors, they are what they are. It's just toilet paper that you throw away after use.

Saki finally figured it out. Although he was responsible for the destruction of the Sound Ninja Village, if he wanted to take the credit on his own head, he still needed a certain amount of confrontation. First, he had to prove that he was not a 25-year-old boy. Perhaps Sarutobi and Senju No one wants to see a new political star rise. After all, the original cake is not big. If one more person comes to eat, it will only take food from his own mouth. What's more, in order to prevent the Fire Nation from infiltrating Konoha, the elders of the group of elders will try their best to destroy themselves, such as Sakichi, who has already hung up on Kira.

In negotiations, the most important thing is to take the initiative. You cannot just let your opponent say it. When you are at a disadvantage, you need to break the rules in order to be invincible. It's like a thesis defense. If you're writing an economics thesis and you defend it in front of a group of computer teachers, it will be very easy to pass, even if your writing is not very good, because the person making the judgment doesn't understand anything.

Now is the time for Saki to take the initiative: "I did not follow the instructions of Elder Danzo and collude with Orochimaru's group."

He didn't admit that Senju Jinma was about to open his mouth, but Sakichi's next sentence made his argument get stuck in his throat, making his mouth unable to close.

"It's my initiative to advise Danzo Elder. I hope to enter the ANBU, ambush the Third Generation, and cooperate with possible situations to put the Third Hokage to death."

As soon as these words were said, another storm broke out in the entire council chamber, even worse than before when Zoji took off his mask. Fortunately, everyone here is already quite old. If it were some young people, I am afraid that evil would be born out of fear now, and it would be quick to kill Zoji.

I've seen people who act like teenagers, but I've never seen them act so arrogantly.

Language is an art. Real people can make other people's emotions rise and fall in an instant. The most classic way is to talk and gasp, or use a divine twist. Saki is only a novice in this area, but it is enough to deal with this group of people.

"So, you admitted it." Even Senju Jinjian's emotions were aroused by this guy. His rapid breathing and leaning forward fully demonstrated his expectations.

But Saki didn't admit it: "What did I admit? I was just stating a fact."

"you"

"I reported this matter to the Third Generation Lord a long time ago. It just so happened that Lord Sarutobi and Wakayama seemed to be present at the time." The fact that the opponent could use this matter to attack Sakichi fully shows that Sarutobi did not mention this matter. Whether he forgot intentionally or "coincidently", the result is the same, "So, I didn't do anything to harm Konoha, as I said to the other side, Sarutobi and Wakayama-sama"

Being cheated can still make you sit on the wall and watch.

"Yes." Seeing everyone's eyes sweeping over him, Sarutobi and Wakayama nodded very calmly. This incident was originally planned to play along with Sakichi and create conflicts between him and the Senju clan. From the moment Kira knew what Saki had done and his identity, Sarutobi understood that this guy was definitely on a new mountain. Although he was originally ready to abandon or betray this ally, he still felt that his opponent was the first to get there. He felt deeply ashamed, so he would not miss this opportunity.

But Sarutobi and Wakayama also have a bottom line. He must admit what Sakichi did, and the matter between the two of them about attacking the third generation must be kept secret. After all, if the matter is exposed, Sarutobi and Wakayama are also one of Sakichi's accomplices. Although everyone knew that the knife stabbed at Sarutobi Hiruzen was not dangerous at all, others did not think so. If the top brass knew that he had colluded with Sakichi to do such a dangerous thing, regardless of whether it was dangerous or not, these were Sarutobi and Wakayama's overstepping actions. Then, let alone standing here, even within the Sarutobi clan, he would There is no way to deal with it.

On the one hand, they are cheating each other, and on the other hand, they have to cooperate continuously. Playing politics is really tiring and nerve-wracking.

"About Orochimaru's unusual behavior, I believe everyone has received some information more or less." At this point, Sarutobi and Wakayama looked at Jiraiya specifically, "Jiraiya-sama also knows about it, right?"

Jiraiya, who folded his arms, was psychologically speaking in a defensive posture, which meant he was unwilling to get involved in such muddy waters. So he just nodded to himself, answering Sarutobi and Wakayama's question.

There are no secrets to this group of elders regarding ANBU information. The changes in Sound Ninja Village and Suna Ninja Village are indeed traceable. Therefore, the plan to collapse Konoha is unexpected, but it is also reasonable. middle.

"I believe that Danzo also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to fish in troubled waters, so he arranged a task like Touha."

"Yes, everyone knows Kabuto Yakushi's identity, right?" Shiranui Genma had already proved Kabuto Yakushi's identity earlier, and the connection between Kabuto Yakushi and Danzo was also easy to find. Sakichi now showed this The most powerful evidence, there is nothing wrong with it, "I am relatively familiar with him, and I have more or less discovered the strange behavior of Elder Danzo. For the sake of peace and stability in Konoha, I took the initiative to offer him an undercover position next to the Third Generation. On the one hand, it is to ensure the safety of the third generation, and on the other hand, it is also to participate in Danzo’s possible collusion with Orochimaru.”

"It's a pity that I couldn't help the third generation of adults at the critical moment." Standing on the moral high ground is also a common conversation technique. Standing in that kind of place, you can despise anyone as much as you want. As long as there are no principled errors, the other party can only listen and be unable to refute.

As for the ninja who assassinated the third generation, it could only be the rebellious ninja of Kirikage. As mentioned just now, the only choice for the two people who knew the truth was to hide it from the whole world. Otherwise, the two people who were pushed to the forefront would not be able to get any relief, and they might even have to spend the rest of their lives in a prison cell.

"Ahem," Saki's poor performance made Sarutobi Wakayama feel faintly nauseated, but he had no choice but to cooperate with this performance as he had been dragged down. Now he had a vague feeling that he had been tricked by Zoji. Was this something he had planned a long time ago? The tools shocked Sarutobi Wakayama. Subconsciously, Sarutobi Wakayama had taken these techniques as his own and was preparing to shine in the fight against Suna Ninja and Sound Ninja. It's just that he made a mistake, and what he held in his hands was his own. At the same time, he also lacked Sakichi's courage. This was probably the difference between barefoot and wearing shoes. Even if Sakichi failed, the worst he could do was become a traitor to the ninja. But if Sarutobi did the same thing, he would have to take the blame regardless of whether he was right or wrong. If it fails, the Sarutobi clan will be in a very unfavorable situation in Konoha. With their hands tied, Sakichi can pick up the fruits of victory. "There is no need to feel sad about the Toruha chuunin. If you can kill an assassin with your own hands, you have done your best."

Sarutobi Wakayama's subtext is: Brother, I pinched my nose and endured this matter. You should also have some secrets in your heart about what to say and what not to say.

"Yes, with the help of Sarutobi-sama, we finally did something."

Senju Jinma, the double act, frowned. This guy had completely exposed his unfair stance. The most hateful thing was the support of the Sarutobi clan. Couldn't the Sarutobi clan see this guy's wolfish ambitions? It can only be said that Senju Jinma's butt was not sitting on Sarutobi Wakayama's bench, and he would never be able to figure out everything that happened.

But there are still many places where you can attack Saki, such as this

"Even if you did not follow Danzo's orders, but you rashly attacked the sound ninja and almost put Konoha in danger, how do you explain whose orders you were following?" This sentence will be violated by the foreign military order. The point is that you can't stay outside forever. What those in power fear is not mediocrity, but uncontrolled geniuses.

Even though everyone knew that what Sakichi did was right, Senju Jinma's heart-breaking words put Sakichi on the opposite side of the powerful class. In other words, the best outcome for Sakichi is that he will be spared the death penalty but will not be able to escape the punishment of living. Those achievements are likely to be wiped out.

"Tsk," he said. He is an old man and knows how to attack the opponent's weak points. But you have a good plan and I have a wall ladder. Zuoji has long thought about the consequences of this kind of thing and has a plan. "Of course I will. "The Third Generation's Order"

What's more, Saki is not fighting alone now, he has allies: "There are also orders from the daimyo."

These two powerful words instantly caused the venue to fall into silence. Senju Jinma was choked, which is another story. Everyone was even more impressed by Sakichi's momentum.

The third generation is not yet known whether he is alive or dead. Perhaps what Sakichi said still needs to be verified, but there are representatives from the Fire Nation represented by the daimyo.

The main subject of this debate is Sakichi. Kira understands that now is the opportunity for him to participate in it, and it is also the time to give his opponents a fatal blow. It is time to let them understand that Konoha is just a ninja village in the Land of Fire. This simple truth .

"I have already submitted this matter to the Daimyo. In his contact with Lord Kujo, the Third Generation praised Sakichi Chuunin's loyalty and courage a lot. At this critical moment, he gave Sakichi Chuunin an arduous task," Kira said What he said was very official. This guy was racking his brains on how to praise Saki. Saki was a bit doubtful about whether he was talking about him. "Of course, everyone doesn't know what will happen. Regarding the Ninja Army's attack on the Sound Ninja Village, This matter is also a consensus reached by the Daimyo and the Third Generation, and the majesty of the Fire Country cannot be desecrated."

Tsk tsk tsk, Kira's clichés are simply blocking both sides. He himself represents the daimyo, and the third generation can't speak. It doesn't matter what he says, he talks about such things as private actions in a high-sounding way. Senju Nima would not be stupid enough to attack the correctness of the daimyo and the previous Hokage, and deny the leader. Will he still get good results?
