The Shadow of Konoha

For Hanyu, who had experienced fighting on the front lines, there was actually not much to say about the battle just now, as the strength of that ninja was really limited.

However, Hanyu still admired the performance of the three during the battle. In his impression, no matter what they wanted to do, if they had to bring children of Jiraiya's age with them, as long as they didn't cause trouble, they were helping... What's more, they did help.

After sending Tsunade and Jiraiya back and explaining the general situation to Sansho, Hanyu and Orochimaru brought the attackers who had suffered restricted-level bondage play into the Konoha Anbu. Due to the special circumstances, they quickly sent the people to Danzo.

"Someone attempted to attack Tsunade?"

In any case, if someone had intentions towards the granddaughter of the First Hokage during this period, it would definitely be a matter worthy of serious attention.

Danzo immediately called for his men to take the enemy away, and the interrogation would begin immediately.

"Hanyu, you did a good job, although I don't quite understand why so many things happen to you." After sending his capable subordinates to interrogate, Danzo said to Hanyu again.

"Actually, I'm a little curious too, but... for those of us born in the 0s, nothing that happens to us is surprising." Hanyu said... If calculated according to Konoha's calendar, he was indeed born in the 0s.

However, this question is not unexplainable. After all, Hanyu was initially involved with someone like the Second Hokage, so it is natural that he would be easily involved in some events or conspiracies.

Danzo glanced at Hanyu and wondered if this little brat was hinting at something.

"Sarutobi has passed on the latest information about the front-line raid. I hope that the man you captured can corroborate the information I have obtained. Then... perhaps the current situation in the village will undergo a major turning point."

"Is there a turning point...what does that mean?" Hanyu couldn't help but ask.

Danzo glanced at Hanyu and smiled, which was a rare smile of his. Then he immediately turned cold and said, "The exact location of the front-line headquarters, the defense situation that night, the route of the invasion... Do you think all of this can be easily determined? The sudden attack that Sand Village carried out that night must have been planned based on the intelligence obtained in advance, and all intelligence needs a source."

"Spy?" Hanyu wondered.

What Danzo said seemed to make sense at first glance, but the contradiction was self-evident - when Hanyu came to the village, most of the spies had been eliminated. If he were to say how many spies there were still in Konoha Village, he didn't believe it.

"Stand by, I will gather all the Anbu ninjas next, and we will have a big operation soon."

Although Danzo always had a dull expression, Hanyu seemed to feel that he was in a much better mood than in the past few days. It seemed that he really found a way to do things.

Under Danzo's order, the Anbu ninjas in the village were quickly gathered together. The Anbu conducted a surprise interrogation of the ninja captured by Hanyu. The interrogation lasted for a short time, but Danzo seemed to have quickly obtained the information he wanted.

In the middle of the night, Danzo set out alone and went to the ancestral hall of the Uchiha clan. He then seemed to have a detailed talk with an important figure of the Uchiha clan, and then the Anbu ninjas set out.

At a time like this, it's not strange for Anbu ninja to be dispatched, but the strange part is... Uchiha is acting with the Anbu.

A large number of ninjas were active in the night, and soon they completely surrounded an area in the village.

"So that's what's happening. Even though the village and the Uchiha are on the verge of a fight and the village cannot back down, the Uchiha will be in a dilemma. They want to express their anger , but don't want to really conflict with the village... In other words, the Uchiha needs a way out. In that case, then give him a way out." That night, Hanyu was not a ninja who needed to be on duty at the scene. His job was only to be on guard and protect the periphery, and to prevent the incident from spreading further to a larger area.

"Someone provided the Sand Village with information about Konoha's front camp. If they later stir up trouble in the rear and lead to an Uchiha riot, there is even a possibility that Konoha will be destroyed... For example, if the Uchiha killed Tsunade of the Senju clan, wouldn't that be the most suitable incident?" said another person next to Hanyu. He was an Anbu ninja codenamed "Rinki", and they formed a team with Hanyu on this mission.

For now, the only thing the two know about each other is their code names, and they don't know each other's true identities.

"But what's the reason for doing this? What good will the destruction of Konoha bring to them?"

"Let's not talk about the benefits they can get from Sunagakure. If Konoha is in chaos, then someone will have the opportunity to seize all kinds of confidential things, such as ninjutsu, secret techniques, forbidden techniques, sealing techniques and even bloodline limits. Konoha is a village composed mainly of the Senju. Can you understand the value of a 'technique'?" Rinki said.

"After the Nidaime, although Konoha was in turmoil, the foundation of the Great Ninja Village was still there. Just because of this idea, you took a risk?"

"High risk, high reward."

What is happening now can be summarized as Konoha has found out the real cause of the previous frontline attack and is currently carrying out a purge. To put it simply, a small ninja sect in Konoha leaked information about the Konoha frontline to Sunagakure and attempted to abduct Tsunade in the rear to trigger the accumulated conflict between Uchiha and the village...

Everything makes sense logically, however... why would they send such a rookie ninja to carry out such an important mission as kidnapping Tsunade?

Well, there is no point in pursuing those unreasonable things now. Hanyu can understand that no matter whether this matter is true or not, since Uchiha and the village hope that it is true, then it can only be true.

Isn't this kind of thing common? The second-in-command was about to challenge the eldest brother, but the third brother took the opportunity to jump out, and then the eldest and the second-in-command killed the third brother together, and then the eldest and the second-in-command shook hands and made peace... Even though that small ninja clan couldn't be considered the third-in-command, isn't this roughly the case with what's happening in Konoha now?

The Uchiha clan lost Uchiha Kagami, and using the annihilation of a small ninja clan to calm their anger and distrust of the village in exchange for stability in Konoha, it was really a good deal... So, no matter whether it was an excuse or a fact, no matter whether it was a frame-up or deserved punishment, the matter had been settled.

There is no point in worrying about authenticity, as long as the result is "everyone is happy".

"A ninja like you should just watch from the outside. If you go in, I'm afraid you will find it hard to accept what happens." Rinki continued.

"Well, but I can imagine the bloody scene hidden in the night... But I think it's not out of kindness to let young ninjas like us stay on the periphery. People with extra compassion will only cause trouble in such a mission." Hanyu said.

"What is the identity of this clan?" He asked again after a brief silence.

"In times of war , not all ninja clans can remain united. It is even normal for them to be broken up and torn apart. This clan is one of them. When the Hidden Leaf Village was formed, some of them belonged to Konoha, some belonged to other villages, and some continued to wander in the ninja world, becoming rootless duckweed... and many even gave up their surnames. In Konoha, they are responsible for creating ninja weapons, and strictly speaking, they have made many achievements and innovations in this regard. This is a clan that works in logistics, but in fact they are obsessed with various secret techniques. As for the name of the clan... it is called the Fuma clan." Rinki said.

For some reason, after hearing the other party say this, Hanyu suddenly remembered the logistics ninja who prepared ninja weapons for him and then died in the Sand Village attack that night.

but...

Why is it the Fuma clan again?
