Mito Kadoyan and Koharu, who was sleeping, looked at each other quietly and raised their hands silently.

Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately said in a deep voice:

"Three to one, the vote is approved, and ten ANBU teams will be sent to the City of Fire immediately."

Seeing that the situation was over, Danzo coldly snorted at Sarutobi Hiruzen:

"Hmph, Hiruzen, you are blinded by anger.

If you do this, the Fire Nation will definitely be in civil strife, and you will regret it sooner or later."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

Unexpectedly, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes turned cold and he said with a gloomy expression:

"Duanzo, if you dare to come out of this door, I will launch a high-level vote to cancel your right to control the root."

As soon as he finished speaking, Danzo paused, turned his head and stared directly at Sarutobi Hiruzen, saying with disbelief: "You actually threatened me."

Seeing this, Mito Menyan and Koharu, who had gone to bed, quickly offered words of persuasion:

"Okay, Hiruzen, calm down."

"Danzo, please step back, Your Highness is not a daimyo yet.

Don’t let outsiders hurt your harmony.”

It's not a good feeling to be caught between two people.

"Humph."

Danzo snorted coldly, but still stood there and did not leave.

I finally gave in.

At this moment, there was a knock on the office door.

"Come in."

An ANBU walked in, knelt on one knee and said:

"Lord Hokage, the latest news from the Fire City is that just last night, His Highness executed His Second Highness.

In addition, after two days of searching, we found traces of a large-scale battle in the forest outside the City of Fire.

According to the time calculation, it coincides with the time when Asma escaped from the Fire City."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes widened, he took a few breaths and fainted.

"Hiruzen!" Danzo and the others quickly supported Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Fortunately, Sarutobi Hiruzen only fainted briefly and woke up slowly after a few breaths.

The first thing I said when I woke up was: "Abe's eyesight is clear."

The ANBU knelt on the ground and reported in a leisurely manner: "Ever since that battle, Abe Seimei has disappeared, as if he has disappeared from the world.

According to the news from the Daming Mansion, it is suspected that a forbidden technique was used, which caused the lifespan to be exhausted."

After going to bed, Xiaochun thought for a while and comforted:

"According to the intelligence description, Abe Keimei is far more powerful than Shinnosuke.

If such a person wants to hide, ordinary ninjas cannot find him.

Moreover, according to the intelligence, Abe Seimei is at least in his seventies.

Such an old man may not be able to bear the side effects of using such a terrifying forbidden technique.

Most likely dead."

Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't get a breath out of his chest, and he said unwillingly: "Even if you die, you have to have a body."

What happened today was such a huge blow to him that he couldn't accept it.

After going to bed, Xiaochun sighed and said:

"Then send people now to look for traces of Abe Seimei."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath, closed his eyes slightly, waved his hands and said:

"Forget it, let's send more people to find Asuma.

I'm tired, you all go out and leave me alone."

The three of them looked at each other and left the office tacitly, leaving Sarutobi Hiruzen alone.

Originally, Sarutobi Hiruzen planned to capture Abe Seimei and His Highness back to Konoha and then dispose of them.

But I didn't expect His Highness to be so decisive in his actions and directly killed His Second Highness.

If His Highness is captured now, there will be no famous names in the Fire Country.

The one-village-one-nation system was pioneered by Konoha. If Sarutobi Hiruzen alone wanted to end this system, he would definitely be opposed by everyone.

The result is very likely not that he destroyed the Daming Mansion, but that he, the Hokage, was impeached and stepped down.

But even if you support a puppet daimyo again, there will still be chaos in the Fire Country.

The base of civilians is much larger than that of ninjas.

What's more, the daimyo has so many loyal subordinates. Their overall strength is not as good as that of Konoha, but their industry covers the ninja world.

If they take the lead and fall to any big country, it will be difficult for Konoha.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is destined to be unable to move His Highness, so he can only use Abe Keimei to relieve his anger.

However, Seimei Abe’s whereabouts cannot be traced, and he does not know whether he is alive or dead.

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt like he was holding a breath in his heart, which was extremely uncomfortable.

The only hope is that Asuma is not dead, but is hiding in a corner, and is finally found by the Konoha ninja.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was sitting alone on a chair, looking a little dazed.

"Shinnosuke...Asuma..."

The next day.

At the entrance of Konoha Village, Uchiha Tunan has just crossed the barrier.

Three Anbu appeared in front of them and said in a deep voice: "Uchiha Tunan, please go to the Hokage Building immediately."

Uchiha Tunan nodded and used the teleportation technique to leave.

Three ANBU followed closely behind.

When Uchiha Tunan entered the Hokage's office, he saw Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had a gloomy face, staring straight at him.

Uchiha Tunan's eyes collided slightly with those of Hiruzen Yuanfei, and immediately he lowered his head with a sad expression.

I saw Sarutobi Hiruzen glance behind Uchiha Tunan.

The three ANBU behind Uchiha Tunan immediately understood and closed the door.

Uchiha Tunan walked to the desk with his head lowered.

Hand the task sheet to Sarutobi Hiruzen, then take a few steps back to distance yourself.

It’s like you’re afraid of something.

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced down slightly, glanced at the mission list, and said solemnly: "The mission failed."

Uchiha Tunan pursed his lips and said: "He was kicked out."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his cigarette. He was no longer as friendly as before, but said with an indifferent expression: "Tell me about your time in the Fire Capital. Speak slowly. I'll wait for you."

Uchiha Tunan nodded and began to talk calmly:

"On my first day there, I realized something was wrong with the vice-captain, and then..."

"After wiping out the human trafficking organization, I thought the orphans were pitiful, so I took them into the house to raise them.

Then we started sending people to investigate other underground organizations..."

"That day, I put up a recruitment notice to find teachers for the orphans. Then many people came, including a man who called himself Seimei Abe..."

When Sarutobi Hiruzen heard this, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and realized something was wrong.

Immediately interrupted: "Wait, call yourself?"

Uchiha Tunan nodded, took out two photos from his ninja tool bag and handed them to Sarutobi Hiruzen:

"This is a photo I found of Abe Keimei from long ago.

This photo was taken when he was applying for a new residence certificate."

Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up the photo and looked at it.

One black and white photo and one color photo.

Although the people in the two photos are very different in age.

But even at a rough glance, it is not difficult to recognize by facial features, it is indeed the same person.

But Sarutobi Hiruzen kept comparing the two photos and frowning, but he always felt a little weird.
