Konoha: I Am Super Talented

In the office of the Hokage Building.

As usual, Sarutobi Hiruzen was sitting in front of his desk, looking through documents with a serious expression.

Ten years had passed, and Sarutobi Hiruzen had now crossed the threshold of thirty years old. Time had left a trace on his face. Although he did not look as young as before, he looked more mature and steady. He had a short beard on his chin. Because he had been in a high position for many years, it made him look very powerful!

Bang bang bang!!!

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, interrupting his work.

Hiruzen raised his head and looked out of the door curiously, then said softly,

"Come in!"

Pushing the door open, Zhenyang strode in and stood in front of the man.

When he saw who it was, Hiruzen could not help but smile. He said with a smile, "It's Zhenyang!

You brat, you still know how to come and see me!

How many days has it been?

You only cared about going on dates with Tsunade, didn't you?

Do you still care about me as your teacher? "

In the face of Hiruzen's teasing, Zhenyang was not in the mood to joke with him. He looked at Hiruzen with a serious expression. His expression was unprecedentedly serious.

"Teacher, Uncle Ling has passed away!"

When Hiruzen heard this, the smile on his face gradually disappeared and he frowned.

"You mean Senior Ling?

This can't be!

I went to visit him some time ago and he was still quite healthy. How could he have passed away so suddenly? "

Zhenyang stared at him without blinking and slowly said, "I've checked.

"I've checked. Uncle Ling was poisoned to death!

Not only him, but Jing Yan and his family also have poison in their bodies!

This poison has been lurking in their bodies for several years and Uncle Ling died from this poison! "

"What?!

Poison!

What's going on?

Zhenyang, tell me everything you know!

I want to know what happened! "

Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression changed drastically. His eyebrows were knitted together and his expression was unprecedentedly serious.

Zhenyang's expression relaxed when he saw the other party's reaction. The suspicion in his heart also faded a little. At the same time, he secretly sighed in relief.

After listening to Zhenyang's recount, Hiruzen lowered his head and pondered for a moment. He then said, "Didn't Tsunade go to the market to investigate the matter?

Is there any news from her? "

Zhenyang shook his head, his expression ugly.

"She hasn't returned yet, but even if she did, I don't think she'd be able to find anything!

The murderer was very secretive about this matter, so there shouldn't be any obvious clues left behind!

I think if we want to find the murderer, we have to start from other places! "

"I've already thought about it. We can start by analyzing the composition of the poison. Once the composition of the poison has been identified, we can start to investigate who is in possession of this poison.

And the priority is to start from the inside of Konoha! "

Hiruzen frowned. "Zhenyang, you mean … this poisoning incident was done by one of our insiders?"

"It's very likely!"

Zhenyang nodded and said, "If it was just one poisoning, it wouldn't be a big deal. But this time, it has been going on for several years!

It's really strange that we haven't found anything after such a long time! "

"And the most important thing is that the ninja world is now in a period of peace. Even if there are spies from other villages, they would never think of doing anything to Uncle Ling!

Sensei, you should be very clear about the impact of losing a Kage-level powerhouse. If the other party really dares to do this, it will undoubtedly be a declaration of war against us!

They definitely can't afford such a consequence! "

When he said this, Zhenyang's face was full of confidence.

Of course, he had such confidence. Today's Konoha was not an existence that could be contended with just one village. Even if Zhenyang didn't take action, with Konoha's current strong reserve, they had absolute confidence that they could defeat any ninja village. After all, Zhenyang's generation was known as the golden generation. Each of Zhenyang's group of friends had the strength of Elite Jōnin or above. There were even as many as six Kage-level powerhouses. Such a number could be described as exaggerated!

To put it bluntly, there was no need for the older generation to make a move. However, the younger generation of Zhenyang was more than enough to compete with the other villages. Judging by the number of Kage-level masters in the other villages,

There was no way they could compete with Konoha!

They were also very clear about Konoha's current strength, so at this time, it was absolutely impossible for them to have a conflict with Konoha. Otherwise, if they really provoked Konoha, it would undoubtedly bring disaster to them!

Since external factors have been ruled out, only internal factors were left.

In fact, after discovering the poison, Zhenyang had already quickly gone through his mind.

To be honest, there were not many people in Konoha who had the ability to poison people silently. This must be done by someone with enough power. And in today's Konoha, who could be more powerful than Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Hokage?

Although he didn't want to believe it, reason told him that the other party was really suspicious!

First of all, Zhenyang also knew that his Sensei had always been hostile to the Uchiha clan. Although he had tried to persuade him many times, Hiruzen's attitude towards the Uchiha clan remained unchanged.

It was precisely because of this that even though Hiruzen had promised to give the Uchiha clan the rights they deserved, he still hadn't fulfilled it.

It was precisely because of his Sensei's attitude towards the Uchiha clan that Zhenyang identified him as the first suspect. Therefore, in order to confirm his suspicions, Zhenyang immediately rushed to this place after giving his word to Jing Yan.

In Zhenyang's mind, if this was really his Sensei's doing, then when he told him the news just now, his Sensei would have more or less looked a little unnatural!

However, after careful observation, and after confirming with the perception of the Four-Tails in his body, Zhenyang did not find anything wrong!

After this confirmation, Zhenyang's originally tense nerves relaxed a little, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

If this was really his Sensei's doing, then as his disciple, it would be very difficult for him to be caught in the middle. Now that he could avoid this dilemma, it was undoubtedly the best thing for Zhenyang.

After listening to Zhenyang's analysis, Hiruzen's frown did not loosen. If what Zhenyang said was true, and this matter was really done by Konoha's inner circle, then the impact would undoubtedly be very bad!

After all, the person who died this time was not an ordinary person, but the Great Elder of the Uchiha clan, one of the top two clans in Konoha!

Such a noble person died at the hands of a fellow villager. If he didn't give the Uchiha clan an explanation as soon as possible, then he didn't dare to imagine what kind of riot would break out in the Uchiha clan.

And it wasn't just the Uchiha clan, the other clans were also watching. If this matter wasn't handled properly, how would they look at him as the Hokage?

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Hiruzen no longer hesitated. He looked at Zhenyang with a solemn expression and said:

"I'll look into this matter!

Zhenyang, go back and appease the Uchiha clan first. When I find out the results, I'll give the Uchiha clan an explanation! "

Zhenyang nodded, then said: "Sensei, do you need my help with this matter?"

Hiruzen thought for a while and was about to speak.

Suddenly, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and then a figure quickly walked in, handed over a scroll, and said with a dignified expression:

"Hokage-sama, the Land of Whirlpools is requesting help!"
