Naruto: From the capture of the main family to the behind-the-scenes mastermind

Chapter 143 Senju Tobirama: I am corrupt?

"Master Shikaku, the review results and the information from the Technology Development Bureau are all here."

"Put it on the table."

"Yes!"

In the office, Shikaku asked the visitor to put down the documents, and waited for the other party to leave the room, then sighed tiredly.

Several days have passed since Hinata Yu and his gang rebelled against Konoha.

Tsunade needed to handle the political affairs of the Land of Fire and deal with the rebellion, so all the work in Konoha fell on him for a while.

The burden on him was getting heavier and heavier, and he couldn't rest for a moment.

But it's not time for him to rest yet.

He put the review results aside and picked up the information from the Technology Development Bureau to look at it.

At the same time that Hinata Yu led his troops to leave the Daimyo's mansion, some people on the Konoha side also began to evacuate.

Because Konoha was empty at the time and was unable to effectively stop them, they could only watch them leave.

And now, the number of people who left with Hinata Yu before has been counted, about four thousand people, not counting their families.

Among them, about two thousand are registered ninjas of Konoha, and the others seem to be people who have only been active in Konoha in the past six months, from various departments such as the Technology Development Bureau, the Chamber of Commerce, and the medical corps.

And they are all elites. If Hinata Yu and others had not left some technical information, he felt that it would take Konoha ten years just to rebuild all the departments.

After looking at various technical information for a while, Shikaku sighed and felt sorry that Konoha could not keep those people.

But he had no time to feel sad and quickly looked at the review results.

They didn't know whether Hinata Yu took everyone away.

However, in order to stabilize the situation, Tsunade chose to trust most of the people who stayed and only conducted an audit of some middle and senior management.

The results of the audit are before us.

As soon as he saw this, Lu Jiu discovered a problem and his face looked strange.

Even if the original purpose is strange, if it is true that such a large amount of funds was misappropriated, a small punishment should be imposed.

Lady Tsunade... also needs to be notified.

After Shikaku called a ninja to take the evidence to the Technology Development Department, he read through all the review results and dealt with some personnel before tackling the most troublesome task at hand.

The issue of Hinata Yu and Senju Tobirama's identity as traitorous ninjas.

Tsunade listed Hinata Yu and Senju Tobirama as S-level rebel ninjas to show her own position, which was also Senju Tobirama's own hope.

But let’s not talk about Hinata Yu for now. It is definitely impossible for Senju Tobirama to be treated the same way as the rebellious ninjas in the past.

The Second Hokage, who founded Konoha together with the First Hokage, defected?
That would only make other ninja villages laugh at you... Well, it's already a joke that the Hokage's assistant and Root leader Orochimaru betrayed Konoha.

With a wry smile, Shikaku fell into deep thought.

Unlike Hinata Yu, the matter of the second generation has actually been suppressed. After all, resurrection from the dead is too beyond imagination. Except for the ninja who went to the castle tower with Tsunade, other witnesses were skeptical about the resurrection of the second generation, and no longer paid attention to it as information was controlled and time passed.

Currently, those who know the inside story are all senior ninjas, all under Tsunade's nose. They will not reveal the relevant information to anyone, and even use ninjutsu like the tongue-killing method to eradicate the evil.

This is called cold treatment.

This is the only way it can be. Any official explanation is a useless cover-up that will only give rise to speculation.

After all, Tsunade killed the daimyo and destroyed the one-country-one-village system, and right after that, Senju Tobirama was resurrected and defected... There is too much room for people to imagine, just like the ancestors were angered by their unfilial descendants, which is also not conducive to Tsunade's rule.

Therefore, the affairs of Senju Tobirama must be kept secret, on the premise that Senju Tobirama himself does not show up in public.

"Don't worry, he won't show up unless necessary. The second generation is in favor of the one country, one village system being destroyed. He won't let rumors spread and affect my rule, just like the bodies of the daimyo's descendants and nobles he killed in the castle tower. Just deal with it with peace of mind."

Thinking of Tsunade's calm words when the Fire Nation was handing over the mission, Shikaku sighed slightly.

The Fire Country will be smoothly handed over to Tsunade. This is the tacit understanding between Tsunade, Senju Tobirama, and Hinata Yu.

But it is impossible to hide the affairs of the second generation from all Konoha ninjas. With the replacement of Konoha's top management and the growth of the younger generation, some ninjas will inevitably come into contact with information related to the second generation. How to explain it to them then will become a problem!
You can't say that the second generation doesn't want Konoha anymore, right?

Thinking about this, Lu Jiu sighed again.

He still doesn't understand why Senju Tobirama followed Hinata Yu away.

……

While Shikaku was worried, the young ninja he had sent to investigate corruption came to the Technology Development Bureau, found a researcher, showed his ID, and whispered, "Where is Consultant Tobir?"

"It seems to be in the innermost laboratory."

The researcher replied.

"Thank you."

The young ninja took two steps at a time and walked to the depths of the Technology Development Bureau. He knocked on the door gently, and after receiving a response from Senju Tobirama, he walked in.

"what's up?"

Senju Tobirama heard the door open, put away the scroll on the table, and asked calmly: "I'm very busy now. If it's not something important, can you wait until I finish my work? I'm almost done with another project."

After saying this, he walked towards the door, obviously wanting to go to another laboratory.

The young ninja frowned, worried that Senju Tobirama had noticed something was wrong and wanted to escape in the name of research, so he blocked his way.

Then, in the face of Senju Tobirama's slightly impatient expression, he said in a deep voice: "Advisor Tobirama, you are at risk of embezzling Konoha's funds. Please come with me and cooperate with the investigation."

Senju Tobirama frowned and said, "Corruption? I spend most of my time in the laboratory, and my salary is not bad. I don't usually focus on pleasure, so how could I possibly embezzle?"

"Yes, this is also a suspicious point, so we need your cooperation in the investigation."

The young ninja took out the documents and said, "Your life trajectory is very regular. We have not found any evidence of corruption. However, a ninja from the finance department said that it was under your instructions that money with other uses was transferred to your name."

As he spoke, he kept staring at Senju Tobirama's face, wanting to see the changes in his expression.

The ninja who exposed the Senju Tobirama was very stubborn. If it weren't for the illusion, the other party would not have revealed the mastermind behind the scenes.

So in his opinion, it must be Senju Tobirama without a doubt, and the other party was pretending to be calm.

"If the investigation shows that this matter has nothing to do with Advisor Fei, you will be compensated. If it is related... please voluntarily come with me to the security team. In view of your outstanding contribution, you can stay there for a few days."

The young ninja said very sincerely, "And if you really are short of money, Lord Shikaku said he would provide it for you, so please don't do such a thing."

"..."

Looking at the sincere face of the ninja, which did not seem to be lying, Senju Tobirama fell into thought. He remembered that Hinata Yu had said before that he could not stay in Konoha for too long, and he could not help but frowned.

Could it be related to Hinata Yu?
