In Tsuka's house.
Zero was sitting in the corridor with a book in his hands, chewing slowly. The wood in the yard had been cleared.
"Zero, did Aoyama -sama say where he went?" Haku stood behind Zero, looking at him while he read.
"No, he just asked me to look after the house when he left. I'll take care of the food myself. I don't think he'll be back early today." Zero shook his head.
Haku raised his eyebrows slightly, not wanting to disturb Zero's reading. He turned around and left, thinking about where Aoyama could have gone. They received a secret letter from Aoyama, which was personally written by Qian Yu, urgently asking them to return to the village. However, when they returned, Aoyama himself was nowhere to be found.
There were so many of them that they needed a place to stay. After all, Tsuka's house was limited in size. They couldn't fit nearly thirty people! Also, these people couldn't be arranged casually. They had to plan their next move.
"Haku, what did Zero say?" Zi looked at Haku who was walking over. She didn't have a good relationship with Zero. After all, she was the one who advocated for Zero's execution. If Aoyama didn't return, Zero might have been killed already.
"I'm afraid he won't be back until very late. We can only think of a way ourselves." Haku frowned. He didn't know if Aoyama had any plans, so it was difficult for him to take action. He was worried that it would cause unnecessary trouble, so he felt quite restrained.
"Let's gather everyone together and discuss this." Haku said slowly. After all, two heads were better than one. In this situation, it was better to gather everyone's ideas.
"That's the only way." Zi nodded slightly, her beautiful face showing a hint of hostility. Those people actually snuck into Tsuka's house. Naturally, they weren't here as guests. She was different from Haku. She wanted to kill those arrogant bastards, including the master behind them.
With Azusa He as the leader, Aromatic Phosphorus, Natsume, the Ishikaki brothers, and Hualien siblings gathered in the living room. Other than Kaze Yamamoto and Aburame Takenori who were outside, the eight of them were Aoyama's trusted subordinates. They were all talented and strong.
There was also Zero, who was still studying in the backyard. After all, he was a little inexperienced, and he would go berserk every once in a while, so he was not called.
Haku quickly explained the situation, including the matter of the next leader of the Battle for the Roots. Aoyama mentioned it in her letter, but she did not mention the specific plan.
"Brother Bai, I have some doubts." Hua Liantong held the teacup with a strange look in her golden eyes, "Isn't Kiba the most peaceful village? Will such an unbridled assassination be allowed? "
Shigaki Kota's spirit was lifted when he heard this. He was also very curious. Konoha was the strongest among the five great ninja villages. It was also known as the most peaceful ninja village, but it was the opposite of the Mist village that advocated killing.
But today's matter didn't seem right. Such an arrogant assassination in the village couldn't be considered peaceful. More importantly, if this kind of thing was tacitly approved, then they had to be careful. There were too many experts who had fallen to assassination.
Haku's mouth curled up, but he didn't speak. He just turned his head and looked at Zi.
"Assassination is not allowed. Once discovered, the assassins and the people behind them will be severely punished." Zi's voice was very clear and pleasant to the ears.
"But there is nothing absolute in this world. As long as it is not discovered, no one will care. Of course, there is a big premise, and that is, ordinary people are not allowed to attack. If ordinary people who are not ninjas are attacked, no matter who is behind them, the whole village will investigate."
Everyone nodded, understanding the meaning behind Zi's words. A ninja village was not only made up of ninjas. After all, ninjas were very simple consumers, and they didn't have much production ability. The prosperity of a village still needed ordinary people to create. If the killing was too heavy, it would cause unrest in the village. Even Danzō, who was half crazy, wouldn't dare to do that.
"And this is how Gen does things. Gen and the dark department are both responsible for monitoring the internal affairs of the organization, and if necessary, they can take action to eliminate dangerous people. Thus, for things like assassination, changing the name of the assassination is reasonable. Eliminating traitors, spies and so on …"
At this point, everyone naturally understood that no idiot would arrogantly say that he wanted to assassinate someone. When everyone took action, they would definitely do it in the name of righteousness. Everything was for the sake of the village. Among them, Aoyama's cheap sensei was the best. Everything he did was for the sake of the village … As for whether it was really for the sake of the village, different people naturally had different opinions.
"There is another question, why is Gen's next leader election using this kind of self-destructive method? Don't tell me that the Fifth Hokage and the other higher-ups don't care? "Huatong asked again. Every question was straight to the point.
"I can't guess this point. I can only say that Danzō -sama has absolute control over Gen. Since all of this happened, naturally, it was allowed by Danzō -sama. But why did he use this method … I don't understand."
After thinking for a while, Azu's pair of purple eyes glanced around, and finally met Huatong's eyes. "As for the election of the next leader, I guess Danzo sama has never said it directly, because it's easy to leave a bad impression. After all, it's taboo to kill each other."
"Zi is right, my sensei didn't say anything, he just asked if I want to inherit Gen." Aoyama opened the door and strode into the living room.
"Aoyama -sama."
Everyone stood up and greeted.
"Sit down, let's continue to talk." Zi moved a chair over, and Aoyama sat down. Only then did the others sit back down.
"I heard what Zi said just now. Basically, Danzō -sensei acquiesced to the fight between me and the other two, and indirectly sent a message to me through Kiyo-sama. I'm afraid that he wants the three of us to fight, and the one who wins in the end will be qualified to inherit Gen."
Aoyama didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point. "But all of this is just our guess. Whether it is like that or not, we don't know. But I had to do it, or the other two forced me to do it, Chou 3 and Mao 9."
"It's the two of them!" Zi nodded. She had heard of these two people a long time ago. They were very talented, and they were doing very well in Gen. Each of them held a lot of power, and with Danzō's connivance, they might be able to mobilize a lot of experts.
"Then, Aoyama -sama, should we make a move against them?" Aromatic Phosphorus pushed her glasses, and her eyes revealed a light of excitement. Her temperament was quite aggressive now. She regretted missing the battle between the four great ninja villages for a long time.
