Chapter 56 Reanimation Jutsu! Danzo Shimura's Methods!
Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a deep voice, "Chiba, what did you say?"
Qianyu's tone was indifferent yet resolute.
"Police forces were never created for fighting on the battlefield."
"It is completely unreasonable and illogical to send police forces to participate in the battle in order to maintain village security and safeguard village order."
"In the name of the police force captain..."
"be opposed to!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi coldly replied, "Times have changed. During wartime, we cannot rely on conventional wisdom."
"Precisely because it is wartime, the village must not be in chaos."
"Otherwise, how can we supply and support the fighting on the front lines?"
"Hokage-sama, if the police force goes to the battlefield and the village becomes unstable, who will be responsible?"
"Moreover, this is a rule that was established when the Second Hokage created the police force. If you want to change it, you at least need my consent as the captain of the police force."
"But I disagree."
"you!"
Uchiha Chiba's tough stance surprised all the high-ranking officials participating in the Hokage meeting.
However, the Hyuga clan, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, who had been retaliated against by Hiruzen Sarutobi, felt a strange sense of exhilaration...
Hiruzen Sarutobi was furious, but there was nothing he could do but swallow his anger for the time being.
"Alright, the police force can remain inactive, but the Uchiha clan must participate in the war."
"This should be in accordance with the rules, right?"
"What do you think, Chief Fugaku?"
Just as Chiyu was about to speak, Fugaku stopped him.
"I agree."
Fugaku gave him a look, signaling him to stop talking.
Chiba understood what he meant; she had been too forceful just now, and Fugaku was trying to ease the conflict.
He certainly understood what Hiruzen Sarutobi meant.
In short, the Uchiha clan cannot be allowed to go unpunished. The fact that clan leader Fugaku is participating in the war abroad can be seen as a form of restraint and control over the Uchiha clan.
After much discussion, a final decision was finally made.
Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at Chiba, then left on his own.
Chiba ignored it, but noticed something else...
Danzo Shimura did not participate in the Hokage meeting.
He seemed to be deep in thought, having already guessed some of the truth.
……
"Clan Chief Fugaku, we must support each other on the battlefield."
After the meeting adjourned, Hiashi Hyuga stepped forward and said.
Fugaku smiled slightly: "Likewise."
This was the second reason he chose to join the war.
Since the Uchiha and Hyuga clans, as well as the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, have also been targeted and retaliated against by Hiruzen Sarutobi, this could be seen as the perfect opportunity to win them over and form a united front...
Hiashi Hyuga understood this principle perfectly well. The two exchanged a glance and both revealed smiles that reflected their own thoughts.
The pigs, deer, and butterflies in the distance were not as blatant as they were.
In this war against Kumogakure, Nara Shikaku was the commander-in-chief, but...
He sighed, knowing full well that this was by no means a good thing...
After these people had gone far away, Fugaku patted Chiba on the shoulder.
"Chiba, this war with Kumogakure might just be an opportunity for us. I'll try to win over the Hyuga clan and the Ino-Shika-Cho trio. As for the village and the clan, I'll leave everything to you..."
Qianyu nodded: "I understand."
Fugaku smiled and said, "With you here, I feel at ease."
"However, you must be extremely careful. Hiruzen Sarutobi will not let this go easily. He promoted Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado to lead the Sarutobi and Shimura clans respectively, which is obviously to consolidate power and prepare to suppress our Uchiha clan."
"As for yourself, he will definitely try every means to get rid of you."
"You've probably noticed, Shimura Danzo hasn't shown up..."
"Yes, he must be the pawn that Hiruzen Sarutobi used to deal with me."
Fugaku sighed, "I guessed so. Anyway, be careful in everything..."
"I will."
……
That year, the war between Konoha and Kumogakure broke out again.
The Cloud Village ninja army crossed the Land of Frost and the Land of Hot Water, marching in a mighty force towards the Land of Fire. Soon they truly entered the border of the Land of Fire and launched an offensive from the northeast.
Konoha Village immediately retaliated, with its strategist Nara Shikaku as the commander-in-chief, leading the Ino-Shika-Cho clan, the Uchiha clan, and the Hyuga clan to meet the enemy.
The outbreak of war between the two great powers naturally shook the entire ninja world.
Although this was not a full-scale war, it was by no means small, and for a time everyone was on edge, with all the major powers closely watching the situation.
Inside Konoha Village, a tense atmosphere ensued with the outbreak of war.
War is never confined to the battlefield.
Hiruzen Sarutobi understood that he had been yielding at every turn, even to the point of being subservient, yet war still broke out. Therefore, even if it was just to stop the war, he had to show the Hidden Cloud Village his resolve.
So, during this time, he has been dutifully fulfilling his duties, trying every means to supply war resources to the front lines, and it seems that he has temporarily given up on dealing with the Uchiha clan.
Of course, this is just an illusion.
……
"Captain, there's nothing unusual in the East District."
"The same goes for the West District."
At the police headquarters, a squad leader under Chiba's command was reporting to him.
The three squad leaders are Uchiha Yakumi, Uchiha Tetsuka, and Uchiha Inahashi.
As for the four regions he divided, the last one, the North Region, was to be personally inspected by him, along with Aoki, Yamakaze, and others. This was also the region with the most complex situation.
Uchiha Inahisa said, "The southern district is relatively peaceful. The captain has been implementing the new policies these past few days, pushing strict laws throughout the entire village. Those villains are all trembling with fear and dare not show their faces, but..."
"There's a strange thing."
Everyone else looked at him too: "Strange?"
"Yes, a ninja reported that..."
"His family's ancestral graves were desecrated..."
"Um?"
All the police officers were taken aback.
Uchiha Aoki frowned, "How come there are still people in Konoha doing this kind of grave-digging?"
"This is really strange..."
The others were also puzzled.
however……
Qianyu was suddenly startled!
"Rice fire, detailed explanation."
Although Uchiha Inahime didn't understand the situation, seeing the solemn expression on the new captain's face, she didn't dare to be negligent and quickly nodded, saying, "Yes, Captain."
"The ninja who reported the incident was named Oishi. He was just a genin, and his family had never produced any outstanding figures. His father was also just a genin who never carried out any high-level missions and eventually died of old age and illness. However..."
"The corpse that was dug up and stolen was none other than his father, a low-ranking ninja."
"Da Shi was filled with grief and indignation. He insisted that we help him find the murderer and retrieve his father's remains. He said that although he and his father were good-for-nothings, they had worked diligently and loyally to the village all their lives. Even if they hadn't achieved anything great, they had still put in a lot of hard work. In the end, his father couldn't even rest in peace after death. His body was being desecrated and humiliated. It was utterly inhumane..."
"However, I checked the scene and found no trace. If Daishi hadn't been so filial to his father, visiting his grave every few days, he probably wouldn't have noticed anything amiss..."
"Captain, what kind of conspiracy do you think is behind this?"
In the eyes of others, although this matter was strange and infuriating, it was indeed not a big deal.
However, Qianyu's expression was more somber and solemn than ever before...
Considering the recent troubles and misfortunes in the village, four words quickly came to Qianyu's mind...
Impure World Reincarnation!
In fact, he quickly understood the whole truth behind the matter...
Hiruzen Sarutobi ordered the Uchiha, Hyuga, and Ino-Shika-Cho clans to fight against the Hidden Cloud Village's ninja army.
Furthermore, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado were put in charge of the Sarutobi and Shimura clans, with the aim of controlling and suppressing the Uchiha clan in the village.
However, Danzo Shimura has recently disappeared without a trace, and he was not even seen at the Hokage meeting.
Without a doubt, his sole mission is...
Deal with yourself!
Without much thought, Chiba could guess his inevitable method: to cooperate with the defector Orochimaru and obtain new power from him.
Connecting this to the theft of the corpse, it can be deduced that Shimura Danzo obtained at least one of the forbidden techniques from Orochimaru... the Impure World Reincarnation!
He is probably using these corpses to secretly plot the Impure World Reincarnation, and his purpose is, of course, to...
Kill yourself!
