The Shadow of Konoha

After revealing her identity, the maid first glanced at Hanyu secretly, then reached into her arms, took out a note, and quickly stuffed it into Hanyu's hand.

Then she quickly straightened her clothes, bowed to Hanyu and others, and without hesitation retreated back into the night from where the Konoha ninjas were.

She came and went quickly. If it weren't for the secret code that was still ringing in his ears, and the note in Hanyu's hand still carrying the lingering scent of her body temperature and the smooth touch, he would have doubted whether she was a ghost and whether nothing had happened just now.

Hanyu carefully unfolded the note, and with the dim light in the night, he could see clearly what was written on it, and then he immediately clenched the note again.

"Why did she give the information to you?" The friends were also wondering what had happened. Tsunade asked Hanyu first. Obviously, she was accusing the maid of having no vision.

Of course Tsunade wanted to see what was written on the paper, but Hanyu had already put the note away, clearly showing that he didn't want anyone else to know.

"Because I look more reliable, like the boss here, and have a clear leadership style." Hanyu said, and what he said... was complete nonsense.

Since it was Hanyu who had just exchanged secret signals with the other party, the maid would of course give the things to him first. It was obviously just a matter of "taking the initiative".

"First of all, we were just chatting just now. No one has been here and we haven't seen anyone. Do you understand?" Hanyu then said this.

"Of course, we just felt like vomiting after eating so much soldier Pills." Jiraiya said. Everyone knew this, it was just to protect the safety of the spies.

Hanyu was satisfied that everyone understood what he meant instantly, but he still glared at Jiraiya fiercely in the end... The Soldier Pill is so delicious, why say that about it?

"Secondly, even though nothing serious has happened and I only got some small information, I still need to meet the Hokage now, so... Orochimaru, can you do me a favor?" Hanyu emphasized that the information he received was nothing special to worry about, but this was just a superficial statement. In fact, the information was quite serious... He must meet the Third Hokage as soon as possible for normal reasons without alerting the Daimyo.

So, after looking around, he chose to ask Orochimaru for help.

"No." However, Orochimaru rejected Hanyu's request neatly.

Hanyu frowned . Damn, do your parents know that you are so smart? So he could only turn to the next candidate, "Jiraiya, what about you?"

"Tell me first what exactly you want me to do?" Jiraiya is not smart enough now, but he is not stupid. After Orochimaru rejected Hanyu cleanly, there is no reason for him not to notice the trap in Hanyu's words.

"Nothing. It's so lively down there. Don't you want to go down and take a walk? There are so many people down there. A kid like you can move around in the crowd and won't be criticized." Hanyu deliberately emphasized four words in this sentence, clearly hinting that Jiraiya would get some benefits.

Jiraiya was tempted, but still shook his head. Compared to the benefits of the parade, he was more concerned about what kind of information Hanyu had just obtained. "No, if something happens next , I still hope I can stay here..."

This kid is quite good at distinguishing the important from the unimportant.

But then Hanyu said quickly, "Nothing will happen next, so it means you promised me, so... you should grit your teeth and be careful not to bite off your tongue."

"Go!"

"ah?"

Before Jiraiya could figure out what Hanyu was talking about, he saw the other party grabbing him by the collar, and then using his waist and abdomen to throw him towards the parade crowd outside the palace like a javelin.

"I...got...it..." Who could have thought that Hanyu would suddenly attack his own people?

Jiraiya's voice and figure crossed the night sky, but Hanyu clapped his hands as if nothing had happened.

"...Hanyu, are you still a human?" Tsunade looked at Hanyu's sudden action in amazement.

Hanyu glanced at Loli and thought to himself, you are the only one here who has no right to blame me like this... The reason why he chose to throw Orochimaru or Jiraiya out is because these two have been accustomed to being thrown by Tsunade. These two children should be familiar with this flying trajectory and stimulating speed.

It was because of Tsunade that Jiraiya and Orochimaru had to endure things that children of their age should not have to endure. Even at this time, they had already mastered the technique of "soft landing without injury".

"Don't move here, just play as you like. I'm going to report to the Hokage that Jiraiya is disorganized and undisciplined. He had so much fun that he ran out of the palace." Hanyu said again.

Frame-up, and it's the second frame-up at that. Jiraiya is just a child. Doesn't this person feel guilty for doing this?

The answer is no.

Hanyu left the tower and headed towards the banquet hall where the Hokage was.

"Master Ninja, what happened?" After Hanyu arrived at the door of the hall, the daimyo guard who was guarding the door stopped him and asked.

"Well, there is a small problem. We need to report it to the Third Hokage and the Daimyo. There is a young ninja among us named Jiraiya..." Hanyu immediately told the other party his explanation.

This little thing made the ceremonial guard laugh, but he also knew that the ninjas who valued rules seemed to like to make a fuss, so he let Hanyu enter the banquet hall.

Here, a group of men were performing a special shamanic dance. Although Hanyu's sudden appearance did not interrupt the performance, it attracted the daimyo's curious gaze.

Hanyu was very calm and composed. He nodded to the daimyo and just happened to catch a glimpse of the maid who was accompanying the daimyo and pouring wine for him... The spy's psychological quality was really good.

Hanyu walked step by step to the Hokage and reported his apparent statement to him again. At the same time, while his body blocked everyone's view, he calmly handed the note to the Hokage.

After passing through so many hands, only Hanyu's stinky sweat remained on the note, and it no longer had any collection value that a gentleman would value.

"Hokage, what happened?" Seeing that Hanyu looked serious, the Daimyo clapped his hands to stop the performance, and then asked the Third Hokage with concern.

The Hokage smiled and said in a joking tone, "It's like this, one of my disciples ran down to the city..."

Jiraiya is in really trouble. Disaster strikes when one is sitting at home. It is conceivable that no matter how much he tries tonight, it will be difficult to restore his lost reputation.

After listening to the Hokage's story, the Daimyo laughed without any doubt, "The Hokage is still too doting on his disciple, but... it's rare for him to come here, so it's not convenient to be too harsh on him. Let him have some fun tonight. Even though he is a ninja, he is just a child after all. In this city, I can guarantee that he will not encounter any danger."

"Then listen to the Daimyo-sama and let him have some fun."

The Third Hokage shook his head and smiled bitterly with a helpless look on his face, looking like a teacher who had worked hard but received no rewards... I really don't know how this guy, at such a young age, could have such superb acting skills.

Then, the Hokage took the opportunity to open the note... The information on it was very simple, that is, a fortune of 80 million taels in the daimyo's treasury suddenly disappeared a month ago.

Eighty million taels, considering that prices had not yet increased to the extent they would later, this was definitely a large sum. The problem was not that the daimyo squandered eighty million taels, but that its whereabouts were unknown.

At the same time, the Hokage had just been assassinated... The Hokage and 80 million, the price tags are somewhat similar, aren't they?

So how could the Third Hokage not have any associations? In fact, when Hanyu saw the contents of the note, he immediately had the same idea... No wonder the assassination happened on the way to the Daimyo Castle, instead of in the Daimyo Castle, which was more conducive to the assassination.

Regardless of success or failure, don't you want to get yourself into trouble?

The Daimyo's acting skills are even better than the Hokage's. He has been acting with sincerity, but it turns out that it was all acting. If it weren't for the Second Hokage's wisdom and bravery, this matter would have been concealed.

The Hokage remained calm and continued to feast with the daimyo. The performance that had been temporarily suspended also continued, and the scene was warm and peaceful.

Is that really the case? The Hokage looked at the young daimyo with a smile... A daimyo who doesn't want to interfere in the affairs of the ninja village is not a good daimyo.
