Konoha’s Thief Hand

There was a moment of silence in Hokage's office. Tsunade got up and went to the window, opened the window and let out the lingering smoke.

The cold wind swept in the remaining snow, Tsunade shuddered, turned around and leaned against the window with his arms, and looked sideways at Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Only then did she discover that the former ninjutsu professor who had led Konoha Village to defeat the four great ninjutsu villages had become so old.

"I heard it, and guessed who Danzo was talking about." Tsunade sighed, "Of the three of us, Orochimaru has always been the most thoughtful. No one can easily change his mind about what he wants to do."

"It's not time for him to have any ideas." Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head when he heard the words, walked to the cabinet on the side, knocked, opened a secret compartment, went out and threw a few scrolls to Tsunade, and sighed with his pipe in his mouth. : "Let's take a look, these are all things Anbu investigated."

Tsunade frowned and took the scroll, opened it to check it, and then his brows tightened as he watched.

"These are all real?" Tsunade asked with a deep eyebrow, slamming the scroll in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not speak, but nodded silently.

"Damn it!" Tsunade clenched his fist angrily, turned and pressed on the window sill, a vaguely cracked voice, "He actually did this kind of thing, and there are so many! Has he lost his humanity?!"

Having said this, she suddenly turned around and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said, "Teacher, how do you want to deal with this matter?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen smoked his pipe, looking low and tangled in the smoke.

Tsunade was stunned when he saw this, and then realized that Sarutobi Hiruzen was the saddest person in this incident. After all, that was his favorite disciple, but now he is embarking on an unforgivable evil road.

"Okay, now is not the time to think about these things." Tsunade gave up the investigation and said to Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Next, let's think about how to deal with the roots. Given Danzo's insidious degree, how could he let go so easily? some problems."

"This needs to wait for Natsuki to come back. With his understanding of the roots, it should be able to solve some of the problems." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, then pondered, and then returned to Orochimaru's problem, "Orochimaru's matter, After you successfully take over as Hokage, I will take care of it myself."

"Okay." Tsunade nodded helplessly.

"Don't tell Jiraiya before that, if you let him know, I am worried that something bad will happen." Sarutobi Hiruzen rubbed his eyebrows and said with a sad face.

"I understand." Tsunade nodded again, then went to the desk, took a scroll and read it, and mumbled casually, "When will I have to deal with so much?!"

"I will help you." After hearing the words, Sarutobi Hiruzen temporarily reduced his heavy feelings, moved a chair and sat aside, looking at the disciple at the desk and reading the documents and said: "Ask me if you don't understand. Tsunade, you I will definitely become a qualified Hokage, more competent than my teacher."

"I'm working hard, don't bother me." Tsunade said impatiently.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't think he was disgusted, but thought that at least Tsunade was still familiar, so he could not help stroking his beard and squinting his eyes and laughing.

...

When the wind and snow stopped, it was almost dusk, and the first snow that fell on the ground was gone, leaving no traces.

Somewhere in the outskirts, where the grass was overgrown, the grass was separated by a gap, and three figures came out one after another.

"Where are we going?" Aburame Ryoma glanced around, paused inadvertently somewhere, then looked at Xia Shu and asked.

Jia looked at him incomprehensibly, since he had returned to the village, of course he should go directly to the root base.

But then he thought about the task that Master Danzo required to succeed this time, but they failed to execute it. If they go back, they will inevitably be punished, but where can they go if they don't go back?

"Go to the root base first." Without letting Jia continue to think about it, Xia Shu said directly: "It should be waiting there now."

"Yeah." Aburame Ryoma pushed down his sunglasses, then patted the boy next to him on the shoulder, and walked out following the figure in front of him.

A didn't know Aburame Ryoma's thoughts, and just secretly sighed at the moment, otherwise, if he finds that his companion has betrayed Danzo, he really doesn't know what to do for a while, but now he doesn't have to worry about it, just keep up.

When the three of them left, a clump of weeds shook, and it seemed that there was something hiding there and suddenly left.

When they were about to enter the root base, two Anbu ninjas exposed half of their bodies from the tree, gestured for a moment, and left.

Aburame couldn't figure it out, so he looked at Aburame Ryoma inquiringly, but the latter ignored him, as if he hadn't seen the situation just now.

Xia Shu raised her eyebrows, smiled at the corners of her mouth, and then continued to walk forward.

Passing through a dark tunnel, the spacious practice field of the root base came into view. At this moment, more than a dozen root ninjas gathered here, seeming to be waiting for something, when they heard the sound of footsteps, they all watched over.

"Master Xia Shu!"

Just walking out of the shadow of the tunnel, a respectful call came into Xia Shu's ears.

Seeing this, the other root ninjas looked at each other and then lowered their heads in unison and said, "Master Natsuki!"

Xia Shu stopped, frowned unclearly, glanced at the ninjas suspiciously, and then stopped looking at the ninja who called out first.

"What happened, Ren?" Xia Shu asked him.

The wounded Ren gritted his teeth and walked forward patiently, kneeled in front of Natsuki, and bowed his head respectfully and replied: "Master Third Hokage ordered that Master Danzo was removed from all duties and asked Master Danzo to retire."

"What?" Xia Shu asked with a look of surprise, "Where is Lord Danzo right now?"

"We don't know." Ren shook his head and said again: "Meeting Master Danzo, maybe only to ask Master Third Hokage. Also, Master Third Hokage asks you to take over all the affairs of the roots immediately after you come back, so now Natsuki My lord, everyone is waiting for your order."

"How could this be?" Xia Shu blankly glanced at the root ninja who had gathered together, then thought for a while, and said to the root ninjas: "Everyone should go back to their place and continue with what we did before. Everything is waiting for me to see. I'll talk to Master Third Hokage."

"Yes!" the root ninjas replied.

Just when Xia Shu was about to leave, a root ninja stood up and told, "Master Xia Shu, a lot of things happen when you are not in the village. I think it's better for you to understand first before going to see Master Third Hokage. "

"Oh?" Xia Shu glanced at the unremarkable root ninja, then nodded and said, "To make a long story short."

"Yes!"
