In order to pay off the debt, become Hokage!

Chapter 212

"oh? It turns out there is something unknown here."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Uchiha Shigeka calmly and asked:"Shigeka, have you investigated the mastermind behind it?

Uchiha Shigeka nodded:"We still don't know the specific mastermind behind the scenes, but we have found some clues and have pointed the way."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a few steps closer to Uchiha Shigeka and continued to ask:"Where are you pointing?""

Uchiha Shigeka's eyes flickered.

He didn't fully believe Orochimaru's statement, but looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen's subconscious move to ask questions, he trusted Orochimaru's words a little more.

Under the gaze of Sarutobi Hiruzen , Uchiha Shigeka stretched out his finger and pointed at the Hokage's office.

"Hokage-sama, our investigation points here - to the top brass of Konoha."

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and his heart sank.

"Chonghua, the top brass of Konoha you're talking about......Do you mean the people who work in this building, or do you mean......"

Uchiha Shigeka got straight to the point and said directly:"Lord Hokage, I am referring to what everyone thinks is the top management of Konoha."

"You, the two adults of the advisory group......And, former Hokage assistant, Shimura Danzo."

Uchiha Shigeka quietly looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, whose expression remained unchanged, and sighed with emotion at his emotional control.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard Shimura Danzo's name appear, his face remained calm and his eyes were like a flat lake. There was generally no fluctuation, but there was a storm in my heart.

"Are you saying that the unfavorable remarks against Sakumo in the village were made by one of us?"

"Chonghua, your investigation is correct and there are no problems?"

Uchiha Shigeka took out a scroll from the ninja tool bag behind him and handed it to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Hokage-sama, this is the case record of Sakumo-senpai, please read it.

Uchiha Shigeka said calmly:"Among these is our investigation and interrogation process of Sakumo-senpai.""

Uchiha Shigeka has been prepared for a long time.

Orochimaru has revealed the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes - Uchiha Shigeka will not believe it, but it does not mean that he will not investigate in this direction specifically because of the clues.

Shimura Danzo The guy was very cautious and hid very well, but the people who worked for him were not careful enough and there were no clues.

They had no evidence to confirm that Shimura Danzo was responsible. The investigation from the investigation of those who showed the signs only pointed to this suspicion. It's the top management of Konoha!

After reading the case records, Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his head and said to Uchiha Shigeka:"This is just a suspicion, the evidence is not sufficient."

"I believe in your interrogation skills, they will not be able to tell lies."Sarutobi Hiruzen turned around and put the case records on his desk.

"Perhaps, you have misunderstood what Konoha's higher-ups meant. As I said, Konoha higher-ups could also point to the people who work in this building."

The Hokage Building, this is the center of power and hub of Konoha.

Many big and small things come from here. Konoha's mission hall is on the first floor - the importance of this place is unquestionable.

But the people who work here are Konoha high-rise......It's still too far-fetched.

Uchiha Shigeka pointed out the error and deviation:"Lord Hokage, I am referring to the top management of Konoha"""

Uchiha Shigeka deliberately emphasized the word"high-level"

"Office staff have different positions and ninja levels. How can they be directly summarized as the top management of Konoha?

Uchiha Shigeka took a deep breath and said,"Hokage-sama, just confess." I think the person behind the attack on Sakumo-senpai is Danzo Shimura"

"I know that you and Danzo are good friends, comrades who fought side by side and went through the first ninja war. I also know better.......As the root of Konoha, Danzo has solved many unspeakable, dark and bloody things.

Uchiha Shigeka lowered his eyes and said in a serious tone:"Danzo has undoubtedly done meritorious service to Konoha, but he has gone astray and deviated from the will of fire.""

"In the battle at the border of Earth Kingdom, many companions died due to the betrayal of the root ninjas."

"Tsunade-sensei, Sakumo-senpai and the others, after knowing the cause and effect, stood up for us and felt indignant that such a shocking scandal had occurred in Konoha."

"Chonghua, that's not the case......"

Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to say something, but he saw Uchiha Shigeka's disappointed eyes. disappointment? Disappointed about what?

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face changed, becoming ugly and pale - that disappointment was exactly the disappointment for him.

Uchiha Shigeka, who had always admired and admired him, showed a disappointed look in his eyes. This change made Sarutobi Hiruzen feel a little empty and felt a sense of unreality.

Uchiha Shigeka continued:"Sakumo-senpai and others jointly signed a letter for us, asking for justice and demanding that Danzo be punished and sentenced for the crimes he committed.......Lord Hokage said that after the war is over, a jounin meeting will be held to publicly judge Danzo for his sins."

"We believe that Hokage-sama will definitely give satisfactory results, but......"

Uchiha Shigeka had an angry look on his face, clenched his fists, and his breathing became rapid.

Sarutobi Hiruzen could feel the suppressed anger of Uchiha Shigeka

"Hokage-sama, how many of the people who signed the letter at the beginning still insist on it?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent and did not answer.

Sometimes no answer is the best answer.

Uchiha Shigeka raised a hint of sarcasm on his lips and said:"If we really wait until the end of the war and start the Jonin meeting, I really don't know when that time will come. , and a few people insisted on punishing Danzo."

"No."Uchiha Shigeka said calmly:"It is more likely that Danzo will be relieved of his crime, for example, he will be exempted from the death penalty for his past merits.......If that were the case, the deaths of our companions who died under their own swords would have been in vain."

"That's enough, Chonghua!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke to stop Uchiha Shigeka.

He said with a stern face:"In the end, this is just your guess. There is no definite evidence that Danzo targeted Sakumo."

"Don't make judgments without evidence"

"Apart from Danzo, I can't think of anyone else who would target Sakumo-senpai. Uchiha Shigeka retorted:"Only Danzo is facing accusations and carries guilt. Only he has the motivation to target, threaten, and bribe the co-signers to withdraw the accusations!""

"Chonghua, I leave the judicial power of Konoha to you. It is precisely because I believe in your character that you will enforce the law impartially and bring justice to everyone."

Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at Uchiha Shigeka, and an aura as strong as Yuucha Shi came over him.

Uchiha Shigeka could feel that the surrounding air had become stagnant and thick, with a strong sense of oppression.

But these For Uchiha Shigeka, the feeling of oppression was just a breeze, without pressure - he shouldn't be without pressure.

Uchiha Shigeka's face suddenly changed, and a few beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

He was shocked. Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen......
