Chapter 1257 Shikamaru’s Suspicion

The sky dimmed, sadistic electricity, unrestrained wind, and chakra were jumping. The entire Valley of the End was shrouded in an obscure energy flow. The land was turned upside down, trees fell and leaves fell, and it was a mess.

Sakura, who was rushing forward, felt a frightening strong wind coming from the distance. She was blown away all of a sudden, making it difficult for her to move forward any further.

The Konoha genin further away also felt a powerful force shaking the world, as if it was about to pull down the sun.

Even the leaf village felt the vibration. Tsunade looked in the direction of the Valley of the End in disbelief and ordered the ANBU to go immediately to see what happened. Konoha can't mess with it any longer.

When Sakura arrived at the Valley of the End, a Tianchi appeared. Most of the forest has disappeared, submerged by water. Only two halves of the statue remain in the famous Valley of the End.

"Sasuke, Naruto -" Right here, looking at the calm water reflecting the entire dusk, Sakura's heart was filled with uneasiness.

Sasuke was gone, and Naruto was like a small boat floating on the water. The clothes on Naruto's body were also burned off, and there was not much intact skin. His muscles were smoking, and he was unconscious due to severe injuries.

The entire mission made Konoha's new generation truly realize the cruelty of the ninja world. Sometimes an ordinary mission can also make people realize death.

ANBU arrived and protected the genin back to the village. Shikamaru gave a several-hour long report to the Hokage, telling him every detail.

After listening to this, Tsunade felt even more that the Otogakure Village was well prepared this time, and that she might have known the information for a long time. In other words, this mission itself is to let Kimimaro go.

Duran!

He was the one who led this mission. He was the one who said the prisoners should be transferred, and he was the one who insisted on hiring genin. The whole incident made Tsunade feel suspicious from the beginning, and now that something went so wrong, she felt that the whole thing was planned by Dulan.

It seems that a thorough investigation of Duran is really necessary, Tsunade thought.

Shikamaru went down, and the Sandaime came to the Hokage's office. He learned a lot about the whole thing. Kimimaro was rescued, Xiao Li was injured, Sasuke defected and captured two prisoners. It was very complicated, so he came forward to remind Tsunade.

"Teacher, do you know everything?" Tsunade did not doubt the Sandaime's eyes and ears in Konoha.

The Sandaime nodded. After retiring, he felt much better: "The situation is very complicated. This matter is obviously inseparable from Orochimaru. It seems that he has planted a lot of spies in Konoha."

...Tsunade thought that the Sandaime meant that it was all Orochimaru's fault and had nothing to do with Duran, the person who initiated the mission.

"Teacher, with all due respect, this whole thing has something to do with Dulan. If he hadn't proposed transferring Kimimaro, such a serious incident would not have happened. And Sasuke's defection, I always feel that it has something to do with Dulan. "

"Tsunade, you are too prejudiced against Duran." The Sandaime said helplessly: "You doubt Duran, then what is Duran's motive?"

motivation? Yes, that's the motive. The Sandaime understands Duran's ability and is simply omnipotent. Duran can easily obtain everything human desires require, so what's the point of him engaging in conspiracy?

Strength, power, wealth, beauty, Dulan will not pursue these at all. It is also because of this that the third generation believes in Dulan so much, just like Dulan's famous saying: The sea is open to hundreds of rivers, tolerance is great, a wall stands thousands of feet high, and no desire is strong.

Duran is definitely the most desireless person the Sandaime knows, so he is the most trustworthy person.

Tsunade was also speechless. She couldn't figure out Dulan's motives. Even if she wasn't very familiar with him, she knew that Dulan would have a happy family if he became famous. It seems that such a person really has no reason to act recklessly.

But too many unreasonable things must be explained. If Duran is not as upright as he appears, then Tsunade can at least feel that she has grasped the ins and outs of the whole thing instead of being helpless. Tsunade thought that the center of the current mess seemed to be Duran. Although the teacher believed in him, as Hokage, she had to eliminate any danger.

"Tsunade, give up." As Tsunade's teacher, the Sandaime saw his disciple's thoughts.

...Tsunade embarrassedly concealed her suspicion of Duran: "I will conduct an investigation in the village and find out Orochimaru's spy. It's not what you think, teacher."

"Tsunade, Duran's strength is beyond your imagination. You can't hide it from him by any means. Although Duran is very generous, we should not test his bottom line. Danzo is a bad person. Good example."

Unexpectedly, the Sandaime had such a firm attitude: "Teacher, who is Duran?" It seemed that the teacher knew something, and Tsunade hoped that the teacher could be honest.

"He is a friend of Konoha. It's enough to know this." The Sandaime said with a distant look: "I have one more thing this time, about Sasuke. Is the defection confirmed?"

"It's basically certain. The information brought back by the ANBU said that the Valley of the End has been destroyed by the aftermath of the battle. It should be caused by Naruto and Sasuke, and the ANBU said that there were many animal carcasses outside the battlefield, and they were all removed. The internal organs are out." Tsunade said: "I'm going to see Naruto later. He's seriously injured. We won't know the specific situation until he wakes up."

"People from the Uchiha family..." The third generation was also helpless, not knowing whether they could accept another genius embarking on the path of betrayal.

"I will appease them. It's just that the Uchiha family's image in the village will be even worse." "I really didn't expect it to be like this. First it was Shisui and Itachi, and then Sasuke. The younger generation of geniuses betrayed Konoha one after another. , are the Uchiha family really incompatible with Konoha?" Tsunade didn't have much fondness for the Uchiha family. Her grandfather died after fighting Uchiha Madara.

Thinking about the fact that the Uchiha family has not contributed much since the founding of Konoha, it has never been less troublesome.

"In short, pay attention to the influence. Don't let the influence of 'Uchiha family specializes in traitors' continue to expand. This is not good for Konoha and the Uchiha family." The third generation still hopes that Uchiha will continue to stay in Konoha.

"I will." Although she doesn't like it, Tsunade has begun to adapt to the life of Hokage, so she also knows that the overall situation is more important. Now the Uchiha family can be considered a force in Konoha.

Shikamaru left the Hokage's office and looked back at the office building. He had many thoughts in his mind that he had not told the Hokage. Shikamaru and Tsunade both doubted Duran. Although this failure was not punished, Shikamaru could not accept using his companions as bait, so he must investigate the cause and effect clearly, otherwise he would be sorry for Sasuke and also for the seriously injured Xiao Li and Naruto.
