Saving Uchiha starts from being the patriarch

Chapter 340 Genocide Incident
Under the curtain of the night, orange-red sparks danced in the village at the foot of Katsuragi Mountain, as if a farewell ceremony was being held for the low-pitched wailing. There is a journey of no return.

Only a very few lucky ones are let go by death for the time being.

Lord Death was not in a hurry to invite everyone to Netherland as guests.

on the high hills,

A group of tearful young men and women hid in the bushes, looking at the hometown that was being devoured by the sea of ​​flames bit by bit. Sadness flooded their hearts like a raging tsunami, and emotions such as hesitation, anger, and despair permeated their hearts. heart.

"Woooo~~"

The youngest girl couldn't help sobbing softly.

"Don't cry, now is not the time to cry, we have to leave quickly." The leader of the team gritted his teeth and said.

"But... where can we go?"

someone asked blankly.

Their hometown is being swallowed by the sea of ​​flames. Without their hometown, where can they go?
Those who escaped were all young people, and they basically lived around their hometown since they were young. Many of them have even been to the nearby towns as far as they can. It has the surname Earth Spider.

But now most of the earth spider clan no longer rely on the tip of a knife to lick their blood to live. Having had enough of the crisis of ninjas wandering on the verge of life and death at that moment, the earth spider clan wants to give up their identity as ninjas, but it is a pity... It's not that they can live in peace if they give up voluntarily.

trouble,

He will take the initiative to come to the door.

Wishful thinking that putting down the weapon will eliminate the malice of the enemies, but what is really ushered in is ruthless killing.

"Let's go to Konoha."

The leading man gritted his teeth and said.

"Father, he told me that the granddaughter of Yakuza Xingzhe is in Konoha, and we go to seek refuge with her. As long as we can get Konoha's assistance, we can avenge our father and mother."

"But, the adults in the clan don't allow the matter of Mr. Xingzhe... Will she help us?"

Asked with concern from older people.

Like those young boys and girls with blank faces, they don’t even know who Yazhixingzhe is. Since the internal split of the soil spider clan, even the name of Yazhixingzhe has become a taboo among them. , That is to say, the older ones still know who the Yazhi Xingzhe is, and the younger ones have never heard of the name Yazhi Xingzhe at all.

"That's the grievance between the elders! Now the elders have... We don't need to inherit that kind of insight, and no matter what, we are all soil spiders, we have to give it a try, and the previous paragraph At that time, the ninja from Konoha came to see the patriarch, and we earth spiders and Konoha should be related.” Otherwise, I really don’t know where to go.

Although the ninja world is huge,

But it's not so easy to survive.

The last sentence of frustration was not uttered. The young man in the lead was still clear-headed and understood that such words could not be said now. A soil spider is sure to die.

"Let's go!"

"Don't even look, be careful not to be discovered."

The displaced young people disappeared on the hills in the night with tears in their eyes, but the teenagers did not realize that someone was watching them silently in the dark. Only then did he show a satisfied smile, and then his figure disappeared into the deep darkness.

----

Leaf Village.

The Hokage Building has been very busy in the past few days. Although there is no free time in ordinary days, the busyness has been rising sharply in the recent period of time. The most typical evidence is the staff of the Hokage Building. Dark circles and bags under the eyes.

Because the backlog of work is a bit too much, I have to reduce the rest time of the staff time and time again, and extend the working time. If it is not for the comfort of the salary and bonus that are raised again and again, I don’t know how many people will Overwhelmed by this high-intensity work.

"Is there any new information?"

In the intelligence analysis room, the head of the office, who was sitting behind his desk and working hard, heard the sound of the door opening, raised his head and saw the subordinate who entered the office with a large stack of documents, and suddenly smiled wryly, and asked feebly: "How many more?" A family has been expelled?"

"Three families."

The subordinate who entered the door with the documents responded, walked over quickly, pressed all the documents on the head of the office desk, and said: "These are the information collected by the Anbu, give us a copy, and return There are also some materials submitted by the survivors of the two families, and I hope that some useful things can be found in these documents to help us figure out the true face of the perpetrator."

"Alas! I hope so!"

The head of the room sighed, not optimistic about this, and stretched out his hand to stroke his thinning hair, feeling very sad in his heart.

Just about a week ago,

A ninja from a little-known small family in the Land of Fire came to Konoha and entrusted him with a task. The content of the task was to investigate the truth of his family's destruction. Such a task did not attract much attention at first. Well, the life and death of this kind of small family with less than a hundred people in total is a common occurrence.

Just treat it as an ordinary B-level task and put it up for anyone who is interested to pick it up. Of course, if no one picks it up within three days, in order to protect the reputation of the village, Hokage will personally appoint someone to complete the task.

however,
Similar tasks soon followed.

This made the head of the department who accepted the entrustment feel a little abnormal, and reported this information, and then he didn't know if he didn't check it. He was shocked when he checked it. More than 20 ninja families have died overnight. Except for a small number of clan members who have escaped, the entire family is often left alive.

What's even more weird is that the exterminated family didn't even have a corpse.

Not even much ashes were found.

The strange situation was immediately reported to Zong Xian. According to Hokage-sama's highest instruction, in order to investigate the truth behind this series of incidents, the Hokage building began to be overloaded, and all relevant departments such as the intelligence analysis room opened their day-to-day operations one after another. Days of hard work at night.

But working overtime is not limited to the employees below.

Six Daime Hokage himself is also resident in the Hokage Building. The lights in the office are often bright all night, coupled with the increase in salary and bonus, so that everyone will not have any resentment, but everyone is secretly angry, ready to wait until the work is over. Stubble, you must relax as much as you can.

"Director, here we come again, someone is here again."

A staff member from the intelligence analysis room stumbled into the door.

"Come and come! Anyway, there are not too many now, and it doesn't matter if there are more." The head of the room who was almost numb was indifferent. At the beginning, he would sympathize with these silent people who disappeared from this world. Those ninja families, but when more and more information was sent, his sympathy had been divided up and there was not much left.

"No, it's not the same. This time it's the earth spiders who suffered."

"Who cares about earth spiders, or water spiders... Wait, that earth spider you're talking about? The earth spider family in Mount Gecheng?" The head of the room suddenly stood up, his eyes widened.

"Director, there should be only one soil spider, right?"

The startled employee stammered.

"...You are right, not only in China, but in the ninja world, there is only one family of soil spiders." The head of the office muttered to himself, and the expression of the whole person became very ugly. This department can understand their particularity just by looking at the name. As a department with limited access to many secret information, the head of the department, who can be regarded as a veteran of the four dynasties, knows many things that young people do not know.

Mention the surname soil spider,

The young people in the department immediately think of Hokage-sama's apprentice.

But the head of the room remembered that Konoha and the soil spider clan are serious allies. The Third Hokage once made a covenant with the Yakuza of the soil spider clan, and agreed that when the soil spider clan was in danger, Konoha needed Send someone to lend a hand.

Although Konoha Village is now in power for the sixth generation.

Yakuzaichi also passed away a few years ago.

But this covenant has not been lifted, that is to say, it is still in effect. Now the earth spider clan is attacked and almost wiped out, and it must not be forgotten that Master Hokage's little apprentice is from the earth spider clan... ····The situation is about to escalate!
"Are you sure that the soil spider family from Mount Gecheng was also exterminated?"

The chief confirmed the accuracy of the information.

"It's true. A lot of people from the earth spider clan have escaped and entered the village. The news will probably spread soon, and I can't hide it even if I want to." The subordinate's answer made the room chief take a deep breath , it seems that this matter is really going to make a big fuss, although it is not a trivial matter in the first place.

Before receiving this news, Konoha Ninja would at most have a little sympathy for the victims, but after all, the life and death of those ninja families had nothing to do with Konoha.

until now-

The allied earth spider family was attacked.

We can no longer wait until we investigate the situation before deciding what to do.

The village must take stronger and more obvious actions to show its attitude to the outside world. Of course, if it is replaced by the elderly Third Hokage, this matter may still be debatable, but Konoha is now the Sixth Hokage. , with this temper, there is no room for discussion.

That is,

There will definitely be a big move next.

"But...it has nothing to do with me." The head of the room pondered for a few seconds, then sat down peacefully again, no matter how big the trouble was, what did it have to do with him?Now there are so many masters in the village, no matter what troubles they have, they can deal with them. It's not his turn to stand up and do his best.

Therefore,
Just do your own thing.

----

Naruto Office.

"You said those thieves who lived in the Chitose House ran away?" Zong Xian looked at Shishui in a little surprise.

"Yes, it was gone just three days ago."

Shishui's face turned livid.

This time it was his subordinates who did the trick.

Because I was busy investigating the annihilation of many ninja families in the Kingdom of Fire recently, I didn't ask about the stalking of Chitose House, but Anbu, who was in charge of stalking, didn't choose to report it immediately after discovering that the target was missing. Feeling that the target can't run very far, it's not too late to report after finding the whereabouts of the target.

As a result, I went back and forth and did not find the target.

Zhishui didn't know about this until today.

"Zong Xian, I was negligent about this matter."

Zhishui almost gnawed his back molars, and it took more than half a year, but he still couldn't completely twist his subordinates into a single rope. No matter what the reason for such a thing happened, as Minister Anbu, he It is impossible to escape responsibility.

"Leave this to me, I will definitely..."

"Did you leave three days ago?" Zong Xian interrupted Zhishui's nonsense, and asked thoughtfully: "Then Zhishui, do you think the matter of Mount Gecheng has anything to do with these people?" relation?"

"Eh?"

Shishui froze for a moment.

"Do you suspect that the group of people attacked Katsuragi Mountain? But the fact that the domestic ninja family was wiped out one after another can be traced back to a month ago. Have you investigated? That group of people is most likely members of the earth spider clan, although they are traitors, but if you think about it, you won’t kill your own clansmen, right?”

"That might not be the case."

Zong Xian said slowly.

It is not impossible to wield butcher knives at the tribe for some purpose, and the time of disappearance and the time when the Katsuragi mountain soil spiders were attacked seem to be connected.

"Things have been fermented up to now, even if someone fishes in troubled waters, it is not impossible to try to achieve another purpose." Zong Xian raised his head and looked at the closed door, "Zhishui, look! The fish is ready to take the initiative to bite Hooked!"

The voice fell,

There was a quick knock on the door.

Before Zong Xian could say "Please come in", the impatient girl pushed open the door and rushed in, "Master! Mount Ge Cheng..." The words got stuck immediately, she didn't know How should I put it, as the granddaughter of the servant, he knows that he still has many clansmen, but he is really not familiar with those clansmen.

Suddenly hearing about the miserable experiences of those tribesmen who had escaped by chance and then fled to Konoha, feeling agitated, rushed in front of the master.

Then--

At this time, the waking brain realized that her head was empty, because she didn't even think about what she wanted to do. The current situation is completely because she heard the complaints of her tribe and thought of her deceased grandpa. caused by above.

"Fortunately, you girl doesn't have to leave the village to take revenge as soon as your head gets hot."

Zong Xian stretched out his hand, and tapped this always well-behaved disciple, "I've sent people to arrange for the survivors of the soil spider clan, so you don't have to worry about their affairs. I'm also planning to send people to investigate what happened in Mount Gecheng ...Speaking of which, Hotaru, do you want to go back to Mt. Katsuragi to investigate in person?"

"Can I go?"

Firefly asked cautiously.

"With the strength of your team, there shouldn't be any problem if it's just the preliminary investigation work." Zong Xian replied with a smile.
