Chapter 270 The storm is about to come (third update, please subscribe!)
Both of them knew who that person was referring to.
But the things involved with that person represent endless troubles.
Shuo Mao wanted to refuse, but just like that time when he didn't confess that the person who captured the air fortress was Zhenyang, he still sighed in his heart: "I'm not sure if I will help you, can I help you, But first I need to know what it is."
"Luji was taken away by the Anbu people without any reason. I want to know what happened to him, where he was sent, whether he was harmed, why he was arrested, and when will he be released?"
Shuo Mao began to think, this matter is indeed a little tricky, but it is not beyond his ability, and it is not a violation of his principles.
"that is it?"
"Can you rescue Luji?"
"I won't do that."
"I know, so that's fine."
There was another silence.
After a long time, a child's cry came from the next room, which interrupted the silence here.
Sakumo got up to take care of Kakashi, turned around and said, "I will give you the answer you want by this time tomorrow, but if you let me know that you have done something wrong to the village, I will personally catch you and send you to the village. Anbu."
"Really? You can do it even in front of that person?" Hyuga Tokugawa didn't believe it.
But Shuo Mao didn't say anything else, he had already walked into the next room, and changed the diaper in a hurry.
. . . . . . . .
The next day, in Hokage's office, Hiruzaru Sarutobi stood in front of the window and looked out.
Outside the desk were two Anbu members wearing animal masks kneeling on one knee and bowing their heads.
"What did you ask?"
"There is no progress yet, if it can be tortured or used"
"No!" Sarutobi said firmly.
It wasn't his conscience that discovered it, but that he had promised the Nara clan not to 'extort a confession by torture', let alone directly explore the secrets in Lukichi's head.
After all, Lukichi is also a member of the Nara clan anyway. Although under pressure and some promises from Hokage, they are willing to let Lukichi accept the investigation and restore their innocence, but of course some methods to deal with the enemy cannot be used.
Moreover, there are many secret techniques of the Nara clan in Lukichi's head, which must not be passed on!
But fortunately Sarutobi Hiruza didn't want Shikakichi to admit anything, he just needed Shikakichi to be a bait to force the rest of the people to act.
Because no matter what kind of plan, as long as it starts to act, there will definitely be flaws.
A truly perfect plan only exists on paper, as long as it is never acted on, then the plan will always be perfect, flawless, and people have nowhere to start.
So Sarutobi, who couldn't wait to deal with Konoha's internal situation, just invited Lukichi back to drink tea, and successfully disrupted all their arrangements, making them have to act in a hurry, and then Sarutobi can do it at this time Solved the problem in one fell swoop.
"Keep asking, but don't use any means."
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
Although I don't understand, as a subordinate, it is enough to complete the task well.
However, at this moment, another Anbu member suddenly arrived.
"Master Naruto, find out the situation!"
"explain."
"Just now, Hatake Sakumo came to Anbu alone to inquire about Nara Kakichi's whereabouts and situation. I want to see him. Do you agree?"
"Sakumo?!"
Hiruzaru Sarutobi's heart sank suddenly, could it be that Sakumo was also involved?
Otherwise, why would Sakumo suddenly have such a heart for Nara Shikakichi? He ran here as soon as he heard the news?
Just because of my classmates, it doesn't make sense.
But it seems that it is not what he thought to come to ask so openly.
Could it be that he used his mentality to reversely clear his suspicion?
Sarutobi Hiruzen was a bit clever at first but was mistaken by his cleverness.
After a while, he said in a deep voice, "Let him meet and see what he wants to do!"
"yes!"
After the member of Anbe left, Hiruzaru Sarutobi said to one of the remaining members of Anbe: "I will immediately monitor Sakumo Hatake closely. I will know who I met and where I went!"
As the saying goes, don't be afraid of ten thousand, only in case.
The importance of Hatake Sakumo to Konoha is self-evident, and how many enemies Konoha Baiga has killed are terrified!
But... the war is over.
According to the current reputation and strength of Hatake Sakumo, even Sannin can't compete with him, and he is the most powerful contender for the next Hokage!
If once he finds out that Hatake Sakumo's heart is actually turned towards 'that person'.
So what was all that he had done before?
So we must find out!
However, the news waiting for him made his heart even heavier. Hyuga Tokugawa actually went to Hatake Sakumo's house for a secret meeting.
If he hadn't arranged for someone to monitor all this in advance, he would have been kept in the dark.
Hiruzaru Sarutobi felt very heartbroken!
. . . . . . . . . .
At the same time, Sakumo, who still has a clear conscience, is telling Hinata Tokugawa what he saw today.
".It's probably like this. Luji is fine. Anbu didn't use any 'methods' to deal with him, but his mental state is a little weak."
"When I left, he asked me to tell you not to worry."
"Master Hokage should have already noticed your small movements, so he warned you in this way. It's too late to stop now."
Although he didn't know what they wanted to do, Shuo Mao didn't want to point the blade at his former classmates, so he persuaded them many times.
"I'm relieved that Luji is fine, I don't know what you are talking about, what have we done? Forget it, let's not talk about this, did you deliver the amulet that Luji's mother asked for?"
Seeing that the other party refused to admit it, Shuo Mao stopped talking.
As for the amulet, his intuition told him that there must be something wrong with it.
But after careful inspection several times, nothing was found, and finally it was sent over.
"It was detained by the Anbu people, and it can only be given to him after inspection."
Hyuga Tokugawa was not disappointed at all after hearing this, he just understood: "It should be, but after all, this is the wish of Lukichi's mother, I hope Lukichi can feel it."
Hearing what he said, Shuo Mao wondered if he was thinking too much.
Did they really do nothing?
But there was always a faint uneasiness in my heart, as if something was about to happen.
Shuo Mao didn't want to get involved in this matter any more, he still had a son to raise, so he ordered the expulsion order directly.
Anyway, he has already done what Hinata Tokugawa asked him to do.
And Tokugawa Hyuga didn't bother or push forward any more, and just left so simply.
