In Konoha: My canned food shop is very popular in the ninja world

Chapter 98: Danzo: This is definitely a space-time ninjutsu! Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed angrily: What time is it now?

The traces at the scene looked like they were caused by the detonation of explosives and detonating tags.

"Search the scene for any remnants of explosive talismans."

Immediately, Sarutobi Hiruzen instructed the Anbu behind him: "By the way, find the secret passage here."

"Yes!"

Hearing the Hokage's words, several Anbu ninjas immediately dispersed.

Soon, an Anbu returned to the Third Hokage and whispered, "Hokage-sama, "Looking at the traces, it seems to be an attack from above."

As he spoke, he pointed to several obviously crushed building wreckages in front of him and continued in a low voice: "The direction and shape of these fragments show an impact force from top to bottom. It can be preliminarily judged that this was caused by the outside, not the inside."

"Ah."

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, with a hint of contemplation in his eyes.

If Danzo was doing some experiment, it wouldn't make sense for it to be like this, it should have come from the inside.

But from the outside, this is too unbelievable.

Being able to drop such an explosion above such a hidden root base clearly shows that they were well prepared.

Otherwise, why would it explode here?
And not somewhere else?

But if they were invaders from other ninja villages, there was no reason for them to know the Root's base. Instead, they would target the places where ordinary people in the village live to cause damage.

"Hokage-sama, we found no trace of the detonating talisman."

Another ANBU arrived quickly and whispered, "We didn't even find any traces of explosives."

"Not even a trace of explosives!?"

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen's pupils shrank sharply.

It's not a detonating tag, it's not dynamite, it's not fire-style ninjutsu, how could such a horrific explosion happen here?

Since there was a flash of fire, it must be related to gunpowder.

But now, there is indeed no smell of gunpowder, only the burning smell of flames.

Not only Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a pang in his heart, the Anbu around him also had solemn expressions, not knowing what was going on.

In their opinion, only the terrifying fire-style ninjutsu combined with explosives could achieve such a level.

But now, there are no traces of these.

"Hokage-sama, two secret passages have collapsed, and one is broken and still passable."

At this time, an Anbu ninja quickly ran over and whispered: "We found some Root ninjas lying on the ground over there."

"Seal off the scene immediately and don't let anyone get close."

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly repeated the order, with a cold light flashing in his eyes: "Send people to investigate all possible clues, especially the movements of the Root in the past few days, and whether there are any signs of outsiders around the village barrier."

Having said that, without waiting for the Anbu ninjas to respond, he immediately headed towards the secret passage that was still passable.

Soon, Sarutobi Hiruzen walked in.

The light around gradually dimmed, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder and burning smell, which made people feel depressed.

In the secret passage, the slight echo of footsteps on the ground echoed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's ears.

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked very ugly.

Because he knew that the Root's secret base was one of the most secretive places in Konoha Village.

This is a place that is even more hidden than the Anbu.

There was such a huge explosion outside, it shouldn’t be Danzo testing something.

Looking at the walls on both sides of the secret passage in front of me, they were already covered with cracks, obviously caused by the shock wave of the explosion.

What kind of thing could explode from the outside to the inside?
Sarutobi Hiruzen is very fast.

After a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen saw some Root ninjas lying on the ground.

They were lying on the ground one by one, with painful expressions on their faces, obviously suffering from the huge impact of the explosion.

Some died, while others were in a state of serious injury, which was obviously caused by being so close to the outside.

"Danzo."

Thinking that Danzo might be in there, Sarutobi Hiruzen sped up and rushed forward along the narrow passage.

Soon, the passage in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen became clear.

What appeared in front of him was a collapsed small house, the roof of which had also been shattered by the shock wave of the explosion.

The surrounding walls were half collapsed and extremely dilapidated, like a ruin.

In this ruin, Sarutobi Hiruzen also saw a familiar figure.

It was Danzo Shimura.

At this time, Danzo Shimura was sitting in a wheelchair in a disheveled state, covered in dust and dirt. He was surrounded and protected by several Root Ninjas, and his face looked extremely ugly.

Around, there were some Root ninjas who were knocked down by huge rocks. They were obviously the ones who had protected Danzo before.

Danzo's face was covered with gloom, and his eyes were filled with anger and unwillingness.

When he noticed who was coming, Danzo looked up with a grim expression, and when he saw it was Sarutobi Hiruzen, he immediately felt relieved.

The reason why he didn't dare to go out just now was that he was worried that there was an ambush outside.

After all, the other side has bombed here.

Moreover, he believed that Sarutobi Hiruzen would definitely bring people over after seeing this horrifying commotion.

Now it is indeed so.

"Danzo."

Sarutobi Hiruzen came over, his voice filled with suppressed anger: "What's going on?"

"I still want to ask you what's wrong with you."

Shimura Danzo looked grim, and gritted his teeth as he said, "Someone dropped a huge amount of explosives outside the base, which collapsed the place. There must be a traitor."

This is already the second time.

The first time was that unknown toxin.

The second time was this horrific explosion.

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen's face became extremely ugly.

The worst, worst outcome happened.

It’s not Danzo’s fault!
At this moment, he wished that it was Danzo's doing.

"You came from outside, don't you have any clues?"

The next second, Danzo spoke in a low and cold voice: "This is the second base of my Root. The one who knows this is definitely not an ordinary person. And to avoid the guards I set up and transport so many bombs silently, you must have extremely powerful strength, even space-time ninjutsu!"

To know.

Even though this was the root base, he had set up many traps inside and arranged for special personnel to guard it.

After experiencing an assassination attempt, he became more cautious and vigilant.

Unexpectedly, after just a short while, the other party attacked again!

Last time they poisoned someone, this time they chose explosion directly, which made Danzo look very ugly.

Which bastard is picking on me?

Hearing Danzo's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart sank again.

Time and space ninjutsu?

If it is space-time ninjutsu, then everything makes sense.

After all, he was outside with the ANBU personnel and did not sense any traces of chakra or smell of explosives.

Just as he was thinking about it, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned slightly.

its not right.

If it was a space-time ninjutsu, then there would be no reason for an explosion to occur here.

Because there was no smell of explosives, how was this done?
However, it is certain that it was done by someone who possesses the space-time ninjutsu.

And this time it’s the root that’s being attacked, what about next time?

What if they attack other places in Konoha Village next time?
Glancing at the surrounding wreckage and collapsed walls, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression turned grim: "We must figure this out. We can't let this go so easily! I will immediately launch an investigation, find out all the clues, and find the mastermind behind this!"

Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Danzo nodded and said in a deep voice: "I can be sure that it must be the Hyuga clan who did it."

Sarutobi Hiruzen: “????”

Hearing Danzo's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed angrily.

"Danzo, what time is it now?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzo and rebuked him heavily, "The most urgent task is to find the murderer first!"

"If it wasn't the Hyuga clan who did it, why would they set the bomb this time!"

Danzo also shouted angrily, "Only they can open their Byakugan to avoid the hidden tricks I set up and place such a large bomb."

"I will thoroughly investigate the Hyuga clan's territory. Their family is definitely hiding something."

"We also need to check the number of their ninjas!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "."

After hearing what Danzo said, Sarutobi Hiruzen was very upset.

Is Danzo crazy?

He actually wants to thoroughly investigate the Hyuga clan's territory. Does he want to turn the Hyuga clan upside down?
They even have to check the quantity. What is the purpose of this?
"I will personally discuss this matter with Rizu."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath and said slowly: "Don't move. Your top priority is to recuperate first. If that doesn't work, go back to your clan first."

"after all."

Danzo has been murdered twice!
Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Danzo's face darkened: "Since we have come all the way here, even if I go back I will surely be attacked again!"

"I will continue to head to the next Root base. I don't believe he can catch up to there!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen: “????”

Hearing Danzo's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyelids twitched and he said calmly, "How many bases do you have?"

If I remember correctly, the last time Danzo reported two Root bases, but now there is a third one.

"Just three, that's all."

Danzo's eyes were grim: "That one was just built."

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "."

Hearing Danzo's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen's face turned dark.

He could sense that Danzo was definitely not telling the truth!

There are definitely more than three!

Thinking about the materials Danzo needed to build the two bases, he deducted half of them, and was still able to build more in secret.

It seems that I will have to cut it in half again later.

Thinking this in his heart, Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice: "Be careful, I will summon the jonin in the village immediately."

Having said that, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned and left.

There is no need to stay here anymore, and no conclusion can be drawn.

"Damn thing!"

Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen leaving, Danzo's face twisted.

Which bastard is chasing him like this?
Mad dog?
However, Danzo was also feeling fearful.

The fact that the other party was able to reach here means that this base is not hidden enough for them.

And he did it continuously.

It's like poisoning from the beginning to exploding directly now.

But it doesn’t matter, he doesn’t believe that the third base can catch up.

That was originally set up by Orochimaru, but he hid it.

Thinking of the machine built by Orochimaru, Danzo Shimura's face was gloomy.

When Danzo looked unhappy.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had already left, immediately instructed the Anbu ninja who had put out the fire in front of him: "Use the earth escape technique to improve this place, and by the way, go and gather the ninjas of each family, and notify the jonin in the village to gather at the foot of the Hokage Rock."

No matter what, he definitely couldn't rest tonight.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the Anbu present immediately used the instant body movement technique to notify those ninja families.

soon.

Representatives from the ninja families and the jonin from Konoha Village gathered one after another.

"Red Jonin."

When Hinata Hiashi arrived, he saw Yuhi Kurenai who had been attacked, and nodded immediately as a greeting: "My little girl is sorry to bother you today."

"It's no trouble. I can give Hinata some advice."

Yuhi Kurenai nodded and said, "I am not planning to leave the village these few days. If Chief Hiashi doesn't mind, you can let Hanabi come with me."

"Hanabi has been training with me lately, so I don't have the time."

Hearing what Yuhi Kurenai said, Hyuga Hiashi immediately shook his head slightly and chose to refuse.

Compared to Hinata, the power that Hanabi possesses now is more important and cannot be easily leaked.

Hearing this, Xihihong smiled and nodded: "Okay, I understand."

She could already tell that what Hanabi opened at Lin Mo's place was definitely better than Hinata's.

For a moment, Kurenai Yuhi thought of the space-time ninjutsu that Hanabi had performed before.

"Everyone."

Soon, the Third Hokage came over and said solemnly to the assembled jonin in front of him, "The place where the explosion just happened is one of Konoha's Anbu bases. Please be careful when you are in the village these days. If you find any suspicious targets, report them immediately."

"what?!"

Hearing the words of the Third Hokage, the pupils of some of the jonin present suddenly shrank.

The base of Konoha Anbu was bombed?
This is simply a fantasy.

Most of them didn't know where the Anbu's base was.

Hinata Hiashi suddenly narrowed his eyes.

This was really beyond his expectation.

He thought Danzo was experimenting with something, but he didn't expect that someone had blown up the Root's base?
Sarutobi Hiruzen continued to recount some things, and finally announced: "Well, that's all I have to say. That's it. Hiashi clan leader, please stay for a while."

With that, he dismissed all the jonin present.

As each of the senior ninjas left with complicated expressions on their faces.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had a brief conversation with Hyuga Hiashi and asked Hyuga Hiashi to mobilize some manpower for cooperation, and Hyuga Hiashi agreed.

"Also, if possible, please simply register the information of the ninjas in the village."

At the end, Sarutobi Hiruzen thought of something and said, "Get ready."

"Hokage-sama, didn't we just register two months ago?"

Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Hyuga Hiashi frowned slightly: "And isn't this registration once a year?"

"Because the kids are graduating and the Chunin Exams are about to start, we need to change our policies."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked a cigarette and said slowly: "Also, the Anbu has lost some manpower and needs to be replenished. We are currently looking for them."

"I understand."

Hearing this, Hinata Hiashi's eyelids twitched and he nodded slightly: "I will go back and arrange it immediately."

"Ah."

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and said, "Go ahead. This time the village will have to trouble you, the Hyuga clan and the Aburame clan to find clues."

"Yes."

Hinata Hiashi nodded and left.

"It seems that we need to speed up."

Watching Hyuga Hiashi leave, Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes and looked at Uzumaki Naruto's home in the distance.

These successive situations made him feel uneasy.

He even suspected that the other party was after the Jinchūriki.

After all, why would they inexplicably attack the Anbu base of a ninja village one after another?

What is the purpose?
It can't be without purpose.

"We must arrange for Naruto to go out of the village for some training as soon as possible. I feel at ease with Kakashi leading me."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's thoughts were in turmoil.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen thought so.

Hinata Hiashi, who had already left, had an extremely gloomy expression on his face after returning to his family.

The Third Hokage actually wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to transfer ninjas from his Hyuga clan.

At the very least, we need a jonin from a branch family.

"It's really troublesome."

Hinata Hiashi had a headache.

"Master, we have captured two Root ninjas, one Chunin and one Jonin."

At this time, a secret guard of the Hyuga clan appeared behind Hyuga Hiashi and said respectfully: "It has been delivered to your training room."

"Yes, Not Bad."

Hearing this, Hinata Hiashi immediately showed a look of satisfaction.

The unhappiness just now disappeared instantly.

Then he walked into his study.

In the study, Hinata and Hanabi were communicating.

"Father."

Seeing Hyuga Hiashi coming, Hinata and Hanabi immediately stopped their conversation.

"Something is going on in Konoha right now. Hanabi, you should be careful these next two days. It's best if you practice Bei Ming Divine Art at home."

As Hyuga Hiashi watched the True Vision Guard scanning the surroundings, he instructed, "Hinata, just follow Teacher Kurenai."

"Yes."

After hearing what Hyuga Hiashi said, Hinata and Hanabi nodded to show that they understood.

"But I have already made an appointment with Brother Lin Mo, and I will go to his place to practice tomorrow."

The next second, Hua Huo thought of something and hesitated, "Aren't you going either?"

She still really wants to go.

"no problem."

Hearing Hanabi's words, Hinata Hiashi nodded.

Then he suddenly remembered that Hinata Hanabi was at Lin Mo's place today, and he immediately said, "If I remember correctly, Hinata, you took Tiantian to the owner to open the jars, and you opened them together the next day. Today is also the time for Tiantian to open the jars."

"Hanabi, you went early, so you should have seen what was blooming every day, right?"

"hold head high."

Hearing what Hinata Hiashi said, Hanabi was stunned, and immediately nodded and said: "Sister Tiantian opened ten jars today, and also opened a storage ring, and a very powerful A-level ninjutsu."

At this point, Hanabi paused and said, "Brother Lin Mo said that the ninjutsu was developed by the Third Hokage, but it can be directly integrated after it is developed, and it can be used without practicing. It's called the Shuriken Clone Technique."

Recalling what was produced every day, Huahuo briefly talked about it.

In Huahu's opinion, there is nothing that cannot be said.

"Shuriken Clone Jutsu?"
