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

Chapter 144 Leave Danzo to me!

It's no wonder that Senju Tobirama thought this way. After all, the finance department was previously managed by Hinata Yu. If the other party had left a backup plan, it would be easy for him to make things difficult for him.

But Hinata Yu wouldn't do such a boring thing, right?

Or did someone take advantage of the chaos to settle accounts, just like they did after Danzo fell from power, and ended up putting the blame on him?

In any case, Senju Tobirama was sure that this matter had nothing to do with him and was an innocent victim, but if it was not resolved, it would affect his research.

It's just a little bit short, what a hassle...

Seeing that Senju Tobirama was still deep in thought, the young ninja sighed, picked up the document and began to read, "According to the confession of that ninja, in March, you took out 1 million taels from the financial department, and in April and May, you took out 150 taels each, a total of 4 million taels."

In the eyes of the young ninja in charge of the examination, as he spoke, Senju Tobirama's originally calm expression finally showed a slight change.

In his opinion, this was undoubtedly the other party's "admission", and he couldn't help but sigh secretly.

He holds a high position as a consultant in the Technology Development Bureau, yet he actually engages in corruption. Is it true that human desires are so difficult to satisfy?

If it weren't for this major investigation, Consultant Yue Fei would probably have to go to the financial department to withdraw money this month, and it's unknown when he would be discovered by the higher-ups.

When Senju Tobirama heard those familiar numbers, he finally realized that he seemed to be really greedy.

——Tsunade’s gambling money!

Because Tsunade always spent money on useless things and on gambling, he asked Hinata Yu to give this part of the money to him, and occasionally take out "a little" for research.

He took this for granted and never considered it as illegal misappropriation.

But from Konoha's perspective, this was the money used to keep Tsunade, but he took it away and used it for other purposes, which was undoubtedly embezzlement...

"Counselor Fei, please come with me."

Even though the young ninja was basically certain that it was the consultant in front of him who did it, his tone did not change much. After all, Shikaku had already told him that he must treat him with courtesy.

Senju Tobirama looked at the documents in his hand, his face turned dark, and his figure disappeared in an instant.

Corruption is not the responsibility of the security team, but Shikaku obviously wants to make a big deal out of a small matter by detaining him in the security team for a few days as a punishment, a small punishment for a big loss.

But he didn't like this kind of preferential treatment.

He could accept becoming a traitor ninja, after all, that was the fact, but he was not interested in going to the guard team and "drinking tea" by looking at the Uchiha's face!
That was torture for him!
Instead of doing this, it is better to leave. Anyway, things have been almost dealt with, so let's do the research somewhere else.

The young ninja watched Senju Tobirama disappear without any warning, his pupils constricted.

Putting aside his research abilities, Consultant Tobirama is just a Chunin, right?
So what happened just now?

What does Consultant Fei want to do by hiding his strength?
His expression changed several times, and the young ninja went to the Hokage's office without hesitation and reported everything to Shikaku.

……

Tsunade looked at the news from Shikaku with a strange expression, and said to Sarutobi Hiruzen in front of her: "Advisor Tobi is my second grandfather."

Disappearing from a confined space in an instant, having extraordinary research capabilities, and being named after the Tobirama, all these point to Senju Tobirama.

Tsunade hadn't noticed the other person before, so she couldn't associate it with Senju Tobirama. Now that the other person has exposed himself, Tsunade has thought about a lot of things.

No wonder she felt that her gambling money was much less before, it turned out to be the work of Tobirama Senju.

An ordinary consultant naturally wouldn't dare to manage her gambling money, but Senju Tobirama dared.

It's natural for a grandfather to take care of his granddaughter, right?

Humph, if the other party had not already left, she would have at least had a "reasoning".

"..." Sarutobi Hiruzen took over Shikaku's report and looked at the contents. He frowned with a complicated expression, "What has he been doing in Konoha during this time?"

"Who knows?" Tsunade shrugged. "I don't understand what he's thinking. Maybe he just wants to get another month's gambling money for free."

Knowing that Tsunade was joking and didn't want to talk about this topic, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't continue talking about Senju Tobirama's matter, but instead asked: "What are you going to do with the system and policies left by Hinata Yu?"

"Keep it." Tsunade picked up another document from the table and said calmly, "I can tell the difference between good and bad systems. I even plan to wait until the Fire Country is completely stable, promote some of these systems, and establish academies across the country to absorb new blood."

Hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Tsunade's calm and resolute eyes and sighed secretly.

'Good and bad things go hand in hand. Tsunade has indeed changed.'

Seeing that Tsunade was not emotional and could handle these matters calmly, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not interfere with policy matters and only said:

"Right now, Root and Hidden City are leaderless, and most of them have been taken away by Orochimaru and Hinata. You..."

Before he could finish, Tsunade took over and said helplessly:
"I will carefully examine the remaining people and recruit the right ones into the new intelligence organization. You don't have to worry. You were hit by an illusion and it will take several days for you to wake up. You should rest well. I can handle these things."

"I believe you." The Sandai shook his head, "But what I want to talk about is not this, but about Danzo."

"What do you mean?" Tsunade frowned.

"Leave him to me, and I will put him to use for you. All the intelligence networks before the Root can be of assistance to you."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were no longer cloudy, but full of sharpness. "If he dares to make any small moves, I will kill him!"

There was murderous intent in his words, and there was no joking in them.

Obviously, he would really do it.

Tsunade was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice: "You seem to have changed since you woke up from the genjutsu."

A little strange, yet a little familiar.

Just like when he was young, that ninja hero...

"Just found some things."

Sarutobi Hiruzen answered in a deep voice, a complex look flashing across his eyes.

Maybe he should thank Orochimaru.

"Then I'll leave it to you, teacher."

After a moment's thought, Tsunade nodded, "If you have any trouble, just tell me directly."

"Yes." Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up, "Then I will rush back to Konoha now."

"Wait, how is Kushina doing now?" Tsunade asked with concern.

Sarutobi Hiruzen paused, "It's a bit strange, she should have guessed that Minato is dead, but we didn't see any sadness on her face."

When the news of the Fourth Hokage's death came back, the first thing Shikaku did was to block the news, especially around Kushina. No news related to Minato was passed on at all.

But the death of Hinata Yu caused a huge uproar, and since so many days have passed, one could guess that something had happened to the Fourth Hokage just from the fact that he hasn't returned. But Kushina has been behaving very normally recently.

It's frighteningly normal.

Tsunade narrowed her eyes and said thoughtfully: "Then you can take Yamaru and Kakashi with you, they are closer to Kushina."

"it is good."
