As if he was getting more and more irritated by Danzo's attitude, Chun turned to bed and slowly raised a finger to point at Danzo, and at the same time said word by word, "Hand over the person who stole the Byakugan! You think I don't know, then Did the person and the white eyes fall into your hands a long time ago? Or is that person the one who belongs to you? "

Perhaps he had expected that Xiao Chun would say such words when he moved to bed, so Danzo was not too surprised. He replied calmly, "Xiao Chun, you can't talk nonsense. What evidence do you have to prove that our roots have been broken?" Caught someone? As for looking at the Hyuga clan? That’s nonsense.”

Xiao Chun, who was sleeping in the bedroom, knew that it was impossible for the other party to admit it, so after suppressing his anger, Xiao Chun, who was sleeping in the bedroom, took a deep breath and asked again, "Then how do you plan to explain what happened tonight?"

"Clan leader Xiangyang saw with his own eyes that the person who stole the Byakugan disappeared after the ninjas from your roots appeared."

"Let's not talk about whether your roots have captured this person. Can you explain why you didn't take action to capture this person after the root ninja appeared? If you did, why was there no trace of a battle?"

"Did you, Danzo, have contact with spies from other villages?"

Sensing that Xiao Chun was going to be blamed for moving to bed, Danzo pondered for a while, and his brain was rapidly thinking about how to deal with it. Xiao Chun, who moved to bed, wanted to take the opportunity to attack and use this incident to suppress Danzo, but there was no way!

After a few seconds, Danzo coughed lightly, first glanced at Hinata Kei next to him, and then calmly said to Kotsubaki who was sleeping, "At the beginning, they didn't know that someone had stolen the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, and it was normal not to take action. Right? Our roots are not crazy dogs, so we can’t bite anyone we meet. Besides, even the strongest Hyuga clan in Konoha can’t catch this person. Do you think our roots can catch this person?”

After that, Danzo turned his head and narrowed his eyes and stared at Chun Chun who was sleeping with him for a while. Seeing the other person staring at him coldly and expressionlessly, Danzo sighed and said softly, "As a senior executive, I don't care about you or me. There are no differences between us, but we should at least position ourselves correctly. You don’t need to blame me.”

As Danzo finished his last sentence, Xiaochun's brows furrowed sharply as he turned to bed, his lips pursed tightly, and even his hands lying at his side unconsciously clenched into fists, obviously extremely annoyed. .

Danzo is sophistry and reasoning, isn't he just a mad dog at the root? It would look strange not to bite people!

"Danzo, just take care of yourself." He said these words in a cold voice, turned around and walked away without any intention of talking nonsense with Danzo. After hitting a snag with Shirataki and Danzo one after another, Kotsubaki completely hated the two of them when they went to bed.

Now that her ally Mito Kaden is not in the village, she can't beat Danzo in terms of power or voice. Therefore, let's endure the calm for a while and wait until the war is over to discuss everything.

Several Hyuga ninjas on the side, especially Hyuga Xiangyang, saw this and had expressions on their faces that were hesitant to speak. But before they could say anything, Kochun, who had moved to bed, had already opened the door with her confidants. And went, leaving the Hokage's office. In desperation, these Hyuga clan members, who were eager to find Xiaochun to take charge, had no choice but to leave here in silence.

In the Hokage's office, except for Hiruzen Sarutobi who had been sitting in the main seat, Danzo was the only one left for a while, as well as the root ninja beside him. They were undoubtedly the winners. However, judging from his expression, Danzo didn't seem to have any joy at being a winner, because Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had been sitting there, hadn't spoken yet.

About a week has passed, and Konoha Village seems to be as peaceful as ever.

During this period, the Hyuga clan did not release any information about that night to the outside world, and all Hyuga clan members involved in the hunt were ordered to keep silent.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is probably some kind of situation within the Hyuga clan, something similar to a scandal, which is why they behave in such a secretive manner.

Because of this, many Konoha villagers began to discuss topics related to the Hyuga clan, all curious about what happened that night.

The uninformed Shirataki had no interest in paying attention to the trivial affairs of the Hyuga clan. During this week, he accompanied Kushina and Naoki every day, and spent his free time studying the power of space.

Today, the sun is shining brightly. It's a good weather for traveling. At the entrance of Konoha Village, there is a quiet atmosphere.

Shirataki stood in front of the gate of Konoha, his hands clasped behind his back leisurely, a calm expression on his face, Kushina and Nasaki stood behind Shirataki.

Looking at Shirataki who was about to leave, Kushina reluctantly grabbed the corner of Shirataki's clothes and whispered, "Brother Shirataki, you must pay attention to your safety and come back soon."

After a simple farewell, Shirataki disappeared under Kushina's reluctant eyes and left Konoha again. This time Shirataki's destination was not the previous battlefield of the Kingdom of Rain, but the battlefield of the Kingdom of Wind, which Shirataki had never been to.

Just last night, Shirataki suddenly received a mission from Sarutobi Hiruzen. In the process, he learned about the war situation between Konoha and Sunagakure. Since Konoha's high-end combat power was basically concentrated on the Rain Country battlefield, in the extreme lack of high-end combat power, the Konoha ninja army led by Hatake Sakumo was defeated by Sunagakure.

Unexpectedly, Sunagakure had no intention of letting the Konoha Ninja Army retreat to the Country of Rain to join the larger army. Instead, he drove the Konoha Ninja Army from the Country of Wind to the Country of Kawakawa, and then from the Country of Kawakawa. Arriving at the Country of Fire, Konoha's battle line continued to retreat, and now it was more than thirty kilometers behind the western border of the Country of Fire.

At this time, the war has spread to the Kingdom of Fire. In other words, from the beginning of the war until now, in less than a year, Konoha has retreated more than hundreds of kilometers? Under such a severe situation, even Shirataki has to worry. After all, he still has little confidence that he can break the turtle shells of Monzaemon and the Third Kazekage.

The journey took Shirataki two days. By the time they arrived at Konoha's camp near the border of Fire Country, it was already noon two days later.

The camp is located in a vast Gobi desert. Densely packed white tents surround several towering foothills. Tall bare rocks are interspersed in this white ocean like reefs.

Because it is very close to the Kingdom of Wind, the climate here is hot and dry. Compared with the Camp of the Kingdom of Rain where Shirataki once stayed, both vegetation and rain are much scarcer.

Shirataki stepped on the ground covered with coarse sand and gravel. He walked towards the main entrance of the camp and happened to see a group of people waiting there.

Shirataki stopped and looked intently, only to see that the leader was tall, wearing a Jonin vest, with long silver-white hair combed into a ponytail and placed behind his head. There was a faint look of exhaustion on his face. This man was... It's Hatake Sakumo.

As for Shirataki's activity during this period, Hatake Sakumo had heard about it even though he hadn't been back to the village for a long time. Hatake Sakumo took a step forward and said, "Shirataki, long time no see, you're here." ”

Shirataki glanced at this friend he hadn't seen for a long time jokingly, nodded slowly and said, "If you don't come here, you will be beaten home."

Facing Shirataki's teasing, Hatake Sakumo was not angry. He shook his head helplessly, smiled bitterly and said, "Come with me, we will hand over in the camp." After that, Hatake Sakumo turned around, He turned back and walked into the camp, and the ninjas on his left and right also followed behind him.

Seeing this, Bai Taki no longer hesitated and followed quickly. The handover process was not cumbersome. After Hatake Sakumo handed over all the relevant documents, files, and seals to Shirataki, and then called several main people in charge of the camp to meet with Shirataki, the matter was over.

Hatake Sakumo seemed unwilling to stay here for a long time. Seeing that the command had been successfully transferred to Shirataki, he hurriedly said goodbye to Shirataki, and finally left here with dozens of his confidants.

Standing at the gate of the camp, watching Hatake Sakumo and others gradually disappear into the wilderness. At this time, a ninja who had been standing beside Shirataki asked softly, "Master Shirataki, what should we do next?"

This is a middle-aged man, about forty years old, with a thin build, wearing a jounin vest, with a Chinese character face, and a very steady appearance. He is a ninja of the Nara clan, named Nara Shikashi. Mainly responsible for the intelligence work on this battlefield.

After hearing Nara Shikaji's question, Shirataki closed his eyes and pondered for a while. After a while, he finally said, "First of all, let's talk about the jounin team captains who spoke in the camp, the heads of the small ninja clan, and similar middle- and high-level members. , called me to the meeting tent and said I wanted to have a meeting."

Shirataki reported a larger number of people. Nara Shikaji memorized it carefully for a while, and then replied without hesitation, "Okay."

Noticing that the footsteps around him were gradually fading away, Shirataki stood at the door for a long time with his hands folded, looking at the sunset on the horizon, with a vague emotion in his expression.

Whether in name or in reality, since Hatake Sakumo left, he is now the commander of more than 5,000 ninjas here.

If he were called by a job agency within Konoha, he, Shirataki, was now a veritable captain, controlling an important front, the mobilization power, decision-making power, resource allocation power, and personnel appointment power for the entire Ninja Army.

The fate of thousands of people was determined by his word. The power in his hands expanded to such an extent in an instant. To be honest, Shirataki would really have to thank Danzo Shimura and Kotsubaki for his transfer. If these two people hadn't caused trouble in the village recently, Sarutobi Hiruzen was unable to do so. If people are available, this opportunity will not come to Shirataki.

In Konoha, strength alone is not enough to reach the top. This can be seen from the affairs of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Shisui, and Uchiha Itachi. Over the years, there have been so many strong men in Konoha, but how many have become high-level leaders?

Shirataki knew in his heart that he was neither the apprentice of Sarutobi Hiruzen nor a member of any faction. Even in terms of qualifications, he was far inferior to ANBU ministers like Hatake Sakumo.

Although Shirataki didn't want to come here, after all, his goal was Naoki and Nagato. If Sarutobi Hiruzen hadn't agreed to move Naoki to the rear and only perform simple material transportation tasks, Shirataki would never have done it. What kind of commander would you agree to come here?

As he thought about it, several hours passed unknowingly, until Shirataki woke up when Nara Shikaji's voice came to his ears. "Master Shirataki, everyone is here and we are waiting for you to come over now."
