Volume 1, Chapter 184: The Great Purge, the Anbu are the First to Bear the Bruins

While the battle on the River Country battlefield was still raging, other problems arose in the village.

The Third Hokage nodded slightly, remained silent, and looked at Danzo, the Hokage's assistant.

This is your time to show off.

Generally speaking, when encountering such a situation, the Third Hokage would mostly follow Danzo's advice.

Because Danzo is ruthless and decisive enough.

Unlike Utane Koharu and Mitokado En, they are qualified to manage the medical department and the logistics department.

But letting them handle this kind of thing always gives people a feeling of being neither up nor down.

Deal with it, I can't bear to do it.

If I don't deal with it, I'm afraid of the risks.

You even dare to touch my people!!

act recklessly!

The person who took action must be a spy sent by other villages, and may have even infiltrated their ranks.

After thinking for a while, Danzo gritted his teeth and said:

"Sarutobi, we need to check ourselves! We must clean up the interior, otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble."

"Clean everything up?"

The Third Hokage was shocked. This was a huge project and it would be easy to offend people. Most importantly, if any accident occurred during the self-inspection, it would probably cause a big commotion.

After all, the first ones to be investigated during the self-examination are the Anbu.

As for the roots... there is no need to investigate at all. All the people in the roots have been marked as "eradicated of all evil tongues" by Danzo.

"Is there no other way?"

Self-examination is possible, but starting directly from the Anbu is a bit too much, and the Third Hokage was a little hesitant.

Danzo knew that the Third Hokage had his old habit again, and he slammed the table and said angrily:

"Sarutobi, now is not the time to hesitate. Once the node of the village barrier is leaked, it will be a big trouble. Do you want to replace the node?"

"............"

Replace the hammer.

The Third Hokage wanted to roll his eyes. Konoha's barrier covered the entire village. Every node was fixed and difficult to change unless it was overturned and rearranged. In this way, who knows how much manpower and resources would be consumed.

Right now Konoha is still at war with the Sand Village, so where does it get the energy to deal with all this?

"Huruzen, I think what Danzo said makes sense. Now is not the time to be soft-hearted."

"Yes, we must conduct self-examination and clean up the internal affairs. Otherwise, the Kingdom of Chuan is at war, and if there is a problem within us, the consequences will be disastrous."

Utatane Koharu and Mitokado En could not make up their own minds, but when Danzo charged in front, they would stand up without hesitation and speak for Danzo.

"I know."

He nodded with a serious expression, and the Third Hokage was very troubled.

This is a difficult matter.

But we have to do it now.

".......In that case, have all the Anbu and Root members gather at the Interrogation Department and inform the Yamanaka Clan that their mission this time is very heavy."

"Besides, have Tsunade come see me."

Since we have to investigate, we might as well get to the bottom of it. It just so happens that espionage activities in other villages have become too frequent in recent years.

Even after sweeping it several times, it still wasn't cleaned up completely. This time I'll check it out thoroughly.

Danzo, Utane Koharu, and Mito Kado En went to make preparations. The people of the Root also needed to be examined, and Danzo had no objection to this.

For the ninjas of the Root, some memories that shouldn’t exist have been cleared, so Danzo is not afraid of finding out the problem.

In addition, Danzo during this period had not done too many shady things, so it was relatively easy to conceal it.

If such a self-examination had been conducted after the Third Ninja War, the results would have been enough to kill Danzo a hundred times.

"By the way, let Yagami Chizuki come with Tsunade."

Finally, the Third Hokage added a sentence.

Because of the war and some special missions, most of the village's Jonin were dispatched, and the Anbu and the Root were investigated first, which meant that there were not many people left who could be trusted and used.

In order to prevent accidents during the self-inspection, some powerful ninjas need to be dispatched to guard.

Tsunade was one of the candidates, but the Third Hokage added Chitsuki in the end.

He felt that if there were spies hiding in the Root or the Anbu, Chitsuki would be of great use when a battle broke out.

The original target of the self-inspection was the Anbu, and the roots were just a by-product. If they were not investigated, they were afraid that the people in the Anbu would complain, so they were just included in it.

Danzo and the other two did not object to the arrangement made by the Third Hokage.

He stood up and left the Hokage's office.

"Danzo, please don't let anything go wrong."

Walking out of the Hokage's office building, Utane Koharu reminded him meaningfully.

We all know what Gen has done, so make sure nothing is found out about you, or you will have trouble explaining to the Third Hokage.

"I know it myself."

Danzo nodded and left with his cane.

"I hope everything is alright."

Looking at Danzo's departing back, Mito Kado En sighed. Like Utatane Koharu, he was also afraid that the root would be found to have problems, although the possibility was extremely small.

Because Danzo would never allow that to happen.

But things are unpredictable. It is better to be safe than sorry. If something is really found out, they will be in trouble.

"Who is it?! It's so early in the morning, are you annoying?!"

Tsunade worked in the hospital until late at night and just came back home. She was woken up by a knock on the door not long after she fell asleep. Tsunade's temper immediately flared up.

With a messy hair and a tired but angry face, Tsunade pulled the door open with force, and the poor door was almost pulled down by Tsunade.

At the door, the ninja who came to inform Tsunade looked scared.

"Tsunade-sama, I have been ordered to come and inform you to go to the Hokage's office building immediately to see the Hokage-sama."

"The old man is looking for me?"

Tsunade was stunned for a moment, looked at the frightened guy at the door, and was speechless. Am I that scary?

wrong.

If the Third Hokage had something to discuss with her, he would definitely ask someone from the Anbu to notify her instead of just sending someone randomly.

Did something happen?

Tsunade, who was still in a daze, suddenly came to her senses.

"Lady Tsunade, the people in the Hokage's office building also said that you should bring Lady Chizuki with you."

"I understand. Now you can go."

Waving her hand impatiently, Tsunade walked back into the house and headed towards the bathroom.

It's a bit weird.

No one from the Anbu was dispatched, so they just sent someone to inform her and asked her to bring Qianyue with her.

This is very wrong, it is not the style of the Third Hokage.

Without having time to think about it, Tsunade quickly washed up, tied her hair, and rushed towards Chizuki's house.

Qianyue almost laughed out loud in her dreams after gaining some ill-gotten gains last night.

It’s a pity that the good times didn’t last long.

"bump!!"

A loud noise woke him up.

Qianyue stood up, Xiaobai in her arms yawned, put his tail under her head, and continued to sleep.

The person coming is Tsunade, Xiaobai will not go out of his way to remind her.

Tsunade, Kushina, Uchiha Mikoto, Nawaki, and Minato all received such treatment. Except for them, when other people arrived, Xiaobai would directly give Chiyue hints.

"What the hell, what are you doing? Don't you know how to knock on the door? Don't you have a key?"

Looking at the poor broken lock core, Qianyue's mouth twitched twice.

“I forgot.”

After taking a look at the pitiful door, Tsunade walked forward, grabbed Chitsuki's hand and dragged her away:

"Hurry up, it's urgent, come with me to the Hokage's office building."

"What's the hurry?"

"Wait! I haven't washed up yet!!!"

“Fuck!!”

Without even having time to wash her face, Chitose, who had just changed into pajamas, was dragged by Tsunade to the Hokage's office building.

Tsunade pushed open the door of the office and walked in carelessly.

"Old man, why are you looking for me in such a hurry?"

Tsunade was followed by Chitsuki who looked unhappy.

No one would feel comfortable being woken up early in the morning and dragged to work without even washing up, let alone being hungry.

"You two come with me to the interrogation department."

The Third Hokage didn't waste any time and stood up and prepared to leave.

Tsunade knew that things were getting serious, and said anxiously:

"What happened, it has come to this."

Could it be that it was because Xiaobai killed the root's people and took away the ill-gotten gains that caused the Third Hokage to be in such trouble?
