The Senju remnants of the Uchiha clan

Chapter 127: Is this the work of the Anbu?

"Elder Yuan, how do you know the situation in the Hidden Mist Village?"

Shiratori's expression was a little confused.

It's not surprising that Hinata Gen knows Qing, what's surprising is that he can accurately tell Qing's information.

Today, the Hidden Mist Village is in the period of "The Village of Blood Mist". The whole village is isolated from the world and just like its name, it is hidden in a mist.

In the past few years, the spies that Konoha had sent into the Hidden Mist Village have not sent back any news and are basically in a state of loss of contact.

Apart from Shiratori, no one else in the village is even sure whether the Mizukage of Kirigakure is still Yagura Karatachi...

"Master Shiratori doesn't know?"

Looking at Shiratori's confused eyes, Hinata Gen suddenly realized: "Oh, yes, you have been busy during this period...busy clearing out the roots of the rebellion, so you didn't notice that a big thing happened in Kirigakure."

"What's the big deal?"

As for what happened before the main story timeline of the original work, Shiratori really has no impression of it, unless it is a relatively famous one like the Nine-Tails Rebellion.

Hinata Yuan sat upright:
"The Kirigakure Jounin Momochi Zabuza attempted to assassinate the Mizukage, but failed and defected... This Momochi Zabuza is the wielder of the beheading sword.

As a member of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, he actually did something as heinous as assassinating the Mizukage. The top leaders of Kirigakure were quite furious about this. They rarely lifted the blockade of Kirigakure and sent a large number of ninjas out of the village to search for this traitor.

Our spies who infiltrated the Hidden Mist Village also took this opportunity to pass a lot of important intelligence back to the village."

"So... did anyone see Qing's white eyes?"

"Yes, Qing's right eye was covered by a black eye patch, but when he was carrying out the search mission, veins bulged next to his right eye, and he showed the ability to see through things. The most important thing is that according to intelligence, Qing... was the commander of the robbery operation.

The Sandaime has already issued an order to issue a golden warrant for the Hidden Mist Jounin Ao..."

Shiratori nodded: "I know, but what does this have to do with me?"

Could it be that Hinata Gen wanted him to help him get back the Byakugan?
Putting aside whether he is willing or has time, it seems that this matter is not his business, right?
You should go find the Anbu!

Seeing that Shiratori was unmoved, Hinata Gen was also a little confused: "Master Shiratori, you are the head of the Security Department, this is the scope of your Security Department's work!"

"No way? This is the job of the Anbu!"

The full name of Anbu is Assassination Tactics Special Forces. Protecting the Hokage is just their "hobby", while hunting down rebellious ninjas and eliminating hostile ninjas is their main job.

Hearing Shiratori's answer, Hinata Gen's eyes became strange: "Master Shiratori, you...did you forget what you said to the Sandaime?"

"What did you say?" Shiratori suddenly had a bad feeling.

"You told the Sandaime that the Anbu only needs to protect the Hokage, and the rest of the work will be left to the Konoha Security Department." Hinata Gen said seriously.

As soon as he got the news about the Byakugan, Hyuga Gen went to the hospital to find Sarutobi Hiruzen, but Sarutobi Hiruzen told Hyuga Gen what Shiratori had said that day, and said that such matters were no longer under the jurisdiction of the Anbu, and asked him to talk to Shiratori...

Shiratori was confused.

He seemed to... really have said these words!

But what he meant was that the Anbu would give up the power of law enforcement and guarding within the village and only retain the power to protect the Hokage. He was not referring to outside the village!

He deeply suspected that old man Sarutobi Hiruzen did it on purpose...

He guessed correctly.

Although the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was in the hospital, he still ordered the Anbu to compile the information of all the rebellious ninjas and ninjas on the wanted list overnight, and send them all over as soon as the security building was completed.

Don't you, Shiratori, want to reduce my power? Don't you want to gain more power for the Uchiha clan?
No problem! All for you!

From now on, the task of hunting down rebellious ninjas and clearing out hostile ninjas on wanted lists will also be handed over to your security department. I will make your lives extremely fulfilling!
Seeing that Shiratori didn't say anything, Hinata Gen suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Shiratori:

"Master Shiratori, that Byakugan is very important to the Hyuga clan and even Konoha Village, please pay attention to it...

The Konoha Security Department has just been established. If we can take back the lost Byakugan and kill the hostile ninjas on the golden wanted list, it will greatly enhance the prestige of the Security Department and the Uchiha clan in the village, so..."

"So I'll take care of it. I'll go back and take care of it now! Bye!"

Shiratori gritted his teeth. He had the urge to go to the hospital immediately and let Sarutobi Hiruzen lie in the hospital for a few more months!

No, there are still too few ninjas in the security department, we need to expand...

.........

At the same time, Konoha Hospital.

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was sitting on the hospital bed, holding two pieces of information in his hands.

One is from Kirigakure and the other is from Kumogakure.

The intelligence sent back by Kirigakure said that the leader of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, Xiguashan Pufferfish Demon, had been behaving strangely recently and seemed to be secretly colluding with the Hidden Cloud Village.

The spy speculated that the Fugu Oni ​​intended to launch a coup in the Kirigakure Village with the help of Kumogakure, overthrow the rule of the Fourth Mizukage, Karotachi Yagura, and become the new Mizukage himself.

Xiguashan Pufferfish Demon is the most outstanding elite jonin in the Hidden Mist Village. Although he made a big mistake by acting on his own during the Ninja World War, he was quickly reinstated and now holds a high position in the Hidden Mist Village.

The intelligence sent back by Kumogakure also confirmed this matter - spies in Kumogakure said that the recent movements of Kumogakure were very unusual, and there was a large-scale mobilization of ninjas towards the Water Country.

"We must not let the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Demon's plan succeed..." Sarutobi Hiruzen muttered to himself.

It's easy to tell that in order to get the help of the Land of Lightning and the Hidden Cloud Village, the Pufferfish Demon must have paid a huge price. Even if he surrendered to the Hidden Cloud Village after becoming the Mizukage... it is not impossible.

After all, it’s no secret that the relationship between the Hidden Mist Village and the Daimyo of the Land of Water is tense.

If Kirigakure and Kumogakure join forces...

"Someone, call Morino Ibiki over here."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen lost a lot of power under the pressure of Shiratori, he still kept control of Konoha's intelligence work.

After a while, Morino Ibiki came to Sarutobi Hiruzen's ward.

"Ibiki, I have a mission for you..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen introduced the mission in detail - its main purpose was to destroy the connection between the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Demon and the Hidden Cloud Village, and he would use any means necessary to achieve this.

"Wait a moment!"

Ibiki was stopped when he was about to leave.

Sarutobi Hiruzen hesitated for a moment, and finally said to Ibiki: "Uchiha Shiratori... may also appear near the Hidden Mist Village. If you have any difficulties, you can ask him for help... You and he were once comrades in the same ninja team, I'm sure he won't refuse."

"Yes, Sandaime."
