章 56: Uchiha's Action

Looking at the hot-blooded Wuy, Hiruzen suddenly pulled his Hokage hat, and then coughed twice.

"Cough, cough, right, there is something I want to ask you. Is Minato the one who send you here to protect Ryunosuke and Naruto?"

"Fourth Hokage-sama?"

Hearing Hiruzen's words, Wuy immediately shook his head like a rattle drum.

"No, no, no... I was not sent by the Fourth Hokage. The boss asked me to come!"

"Boss?" Hearing the Wuy's response, Hiruzen immediately frowned, "Who is this "boss" you are talking about?"

"The boss is the my master, and my master is godly!"

Hearing Hiruzen's question, Wuy became spirited and his eyes were filled with fanaticism.

"It was my master who allowed me to come to this world. My life was given to me by him, so I will also offer my loyalty and life to my master. Master's orders are above everything, and master is blazing with youth!" Wahahahaha... "

At this time, Wuy finally showed the characteristics of a recruited ninja, the absolute loyalty and fanaticism for the recruiter!

Looking at the fanatical Wuy, Hiruzen frowned even more deeply.

"This guy looks a bit like some religious fanatics!"

Hiruzen had seen many situations like this in the past, but they were all just ordinary people.

This was because ninjas generally believed in their own villages and countries. Of course, there were also some ninjas who had no faith. They only cared about their own wealth and power. There were very few ninjas who believed in gods.

For the vast majority of ninjas, gods only existed in the legends.

But looking at how enthusiastic Wuy was, it didn't seem like he was faking it, so Hiruzen suddenly felt that it was a bit strange.

"This guy is not weak. If his master asked him to do something harmful to Konoha, then... Eh? His master seems to be..."

Thinking of this, Hiruzen suddenly looked at Wuy in shock.

"The god you just talked about, could it be that kid Ryunosuke?"

"Yes!"

Hearing Hiruzen's words, Wuy odded hard, and then gave him a bright smile.

"Correct, but I hope you don't call my boss by his name, and you can't use such disrespectful words like 'that kid'. You should show some respect to him, or at least call him Ryunosuke-san!"

Hiruzen, "..."

"That little freak isn't even a year old yet..."

Looking at the serious expression on his face, Hiruzen frowned again, thinking in his heart.

"It seems that this Wuy should be specially trained by someone to be loyal to Ryunosuke. Maybe Minato is not the one doing this, but it is no longer important. What is important now is, how many people like this are around? What is their goal?"

Thinking of this, Hiruzen smiled at Matt again.

"Haha, I understand. I will show more respect to him in the future. By the way, how many ninjas are there like you who are loyal to Ryunosuke-sama?"

When he said the word "-sama", the corners of Hiruzen's mouth twitched. It was obvious that he was not used to it.

However, Wuy did not care about his expression. Instead, he laughed excitedly.

"Haha, the world of gods is not something that ordinary people can comperhend. As long as the boss needs it, there are countless ninjas like me who give their loyalty to him, protect the safety of our master, and defend their dignity!"

Hiruzen, "..."

What a lunatic!

He even said "Protect his safety and defend his dignity". It seemed that the person who trained them was also a lunatic!

However, when he saw the excited look on Wuy's face,

Hiruzen could only helplessly shake his head.

"Alright, it's fine now. Go back and protect your master!"

"Yes, then I'll take my leave!"

Hearing Hiruzen's words, Wuy immediately agreed, then turned and left the office.

After Wuy left, Hiruzen came to his crystal ball and used his Telescope Jutsu.

Hiruzen was proficient in five types of nature transformation, and the Telescope Jutsu was another auxiliary ninjutsu he was good at. As long as he knew the other party's chakra characteristics, he could observe the their situation through the crystal ball.

Soon, Wuy's figure appeared in the crystal ball.

Looking at this figure rushing towards Zhang Miao's residence at full speed, Hiruzen sighed helplessly.

"Sigh, although I don't know what the person behind the scenes is planning, but since the he is loyal to Ryunosuke, there should be no problem. Turns out the current Konoha is not that peaceful!"

Hiruzen's words were quickly verified. Just as he finished speaking, there was another knock on the door of his office.

"Knock knock!"

After hearing the knock on the door, Hiruzen immediately ended the telescope jutsu and looked at the door.

"Come in!"

"Yes!"

With the sound of the door opening, a ninja wearing Anbu equipment walked in and knelt down towards Hiruzen.

"Hokage-sama, the news of your assassination attempt has been leaked!"

"What?" Hearing the words of this Anbu, Hiruzen suddenly frowned, "How many people know about it now?"

"Nowadays, there are rumors everywhere in Konoha, saying that the person who tried to assassinate you was Danzo-san. Now Konoha Military Police Force has gone to his residence!"

Hearing the Anbu's words, Hiruzen frowned even more.

Although Hiruzen didn't know how the news got leaked, it had only been half a day since he returned to Konoha, and the news had already spread. It could be seen that someone was secretly working behind the scenes.

And most importantly, Danzo had always advocated to suppress and monitor the Uchiha clan. As the Anbu had just received the news, the Police Force had already moved out, and their movements were a bit too fast.

From this point of view, this matter was most likely related to the Uchiha clan. Thinking of this, Hiruzen suddenly stood up.

"Let's go to Police Force's HQ!"

"Yes!"

Hiruzen led the Anbu toward Police Force HQ, while Fugaku was rushing to Danzo's home with his men.

Hiruzen guessed right, this matter was indeed done by Fugaku, and even the one responsible for spreading the news was Police Force itself!

Because there was no evidence left behind, Fugaku could not directly send the Force to arrest people, so he could only choose to spread the news first.

And the purpose of this was to have a legitimate reason to arrest Danzo!

"Although I don't have any evidence, if the whole village is saying that you sent people to assassinate the Hokage, there should be no problem for me to arrest you and interrogate you, right?"

This was Fugaku's plan!

One must know that Danzo was one of Konoha's higher-ups. Being able to capture him was much regarded than dealing with ordinary minions. This was very useful for increasing the prestige of the Uchiha clan. If he could make Danzo give something to the Uchiha, it would be even better.

Of course, if Danzo escaped because he was worried about being caught, it would be even better. When the time comes, he would be directly defined as a runaway and could be killed on the spot!

At that time, not only he would be able to solve Uchiha's problem, he would also able to increase and stabilize the clan's prestige. At the same time, he would have a great chance to re-enter the political scenes of Konoha. It would be a three catches in one fell swoop!

Thinking of this, a hint of excitement flashed across Fugaku's face. As he increased his pace, he shouted in a low voice, "Speed up, we must not let Danzo escape Konoha!"

"Yes, Leader!!"

Hearing his words, the members of the Police Force, who was following behind him, immediately agreed in unison.
