Chapter 37: Konoha Has a Traitor, and He Is in a Very High Position

Since you want to restrict me, why should I attend the meeting? You can just do it slowly by yourselves. Don't ask me for such a good thing.

Therefore, Yan refused directly.

Fugaku knew that Yan was expressing his dissatisfaction with his restrictions.

After Fugaku left, Quan came in curiously.

"Captain, why don't you attend such an important meeting? The clan leader has already asked you to attend."

In the eyes of others, this may be a good thing because the clan leader has attached importance to it.

But for Yan, it's shit.

"Attend what?"

Yan said unhappily:

"The so-called meeting is that the elders and the clan leader quarrel constantly. I think you need to give in. I think you want to deprive me of my rights. There is no result in quarreling."

"Once you lose face, you will make a fuss and say that you don't respect your elders and the elders of the family."

Ever since the incident with the sixth elder, the elders of the family have been on guard against Yan, fearing that Yan will give them a blow one day. Not to mention the embarrassment, their old bones may not be able to bear it.

The most important thing is that they don't want Yan to break the rules.

If the problem can be solved with words, why do we need to use force?

A precedent has been set. If Yan continues to do this, who will respect the young descendants of the family in the future?

When you are in doubt, open your Sharingan first and give you an illusion?

"This... Hehe."

Quan laughed dryly twice and was completely speechless.

Because their captain really did this kind of thing, it's no wonder that the elders have been worried about him messing around.

"Why, I see you are very curious, right?

How much of the learning task assigned to you have been completed?

Let's go to the training ground to check."

"......."

I didn't say anything.

Quan shrank her neck and ran away quickly, closing the door by the way.

Although she has worked hard, there is still a long way to go to reach the standard set by Yan, especially in the study of illusion.

It's also a good thing that Quan is not a person who gives up easily, otherwise he would have been shut down by Yan's spray.

The matter of rectifying the police department was dragged down. The elders were unwilling to give in, and Fugaku could not be tough and force them to give in. The two sides continued to pull.

Danzo's premeditated assassination of the daimyo became more and more serious.

After Konoha was accused by various villages, even the daimyo of various countries stood up and spoke together, hoping that the third generation of Hokage would give a reasonable explanation.

Such things made the daimyo nervous.

No matter what happened, even if the war came to the village, the daimyo could not be touched. This was the bottom line.

Now that Danzo had one foot on this line, it would be strange if the daimyo were not worried.

What if this was a very bad start? With Danzo's beginning, other villages were dissatisfied with the daimyo and began to target the daimyo.

The daimyo of the Wind Country was shocked. As everyone knows, his attitude towards the Sand Village is notoriously bad.

What if the Sand Village was forced into a corner and attacked him.

So the daimyo of the Wind Country began to connect with the daimyo of other countries to target Konoha together.

The dusty Anbu team returned to Konoha and came to see the Third Hokage as soon as possible.

After returning from the Daimyo's mansion, the Third Hokage felt that something was wrong. Why did the Daimyo get such a piece of information in a confused way?

Why did the intelligence describe such a hidden department as the Root so clearly, and even the history of the Root was almost recorded in detail.

The information was definitely leaked by their own people.

Among the five major ninja villages, the existence of some special departments is not a secret, such as the Root of Konoha, and the pursuit team of the Mist Village. These special departments unknown to outsiders are known to the five major ninja villages.

Other villages know that Konoha has the Root department, but the details and scale of the Root are unknown.

Even some detailed information about the Root is recorded clearly, which has explained the problem.

So the Third Hokage sent a team of Anbu to conduct a careful investigation on this matter.

And the person in charge of this matter is Kakashi, who is very trusted by the Third Hokage.

"Hokage-sama."

In the office, Kakashi knelt on one knee and carefully reported the results of the team's investigation.

"Through the investigation of the staff of the Daimyo Mansion, the source of the intelligence has been traced to the bounty club, and it was finally confirmed that the intelligence came from the bounty club. The bounty club has sold a lot of this intelligence, and it is difficult to investigate the specific buyer."

Bounty club.

The third generation Hokage frowned deeply and asked, "Have you investigated the information of the seller?"

"The seller's identity has been disguised, and the people in the bounty club can't confirm the identity of this person."

Kakashi lowered his head. It's not that he didn't work hard, but there was really no way to find it.

The other party was too cunning.

Deliberately chose the bounty club on the border of the Land of Fire to sell intelligence. The bounty club here is remote and there are few people coming and going. A small branch club dare not provoke customers who look ferocious.

Who sells intelligence, naturally there is no way to find out.

Unless Kakashi has the ability to travel through time.

"Hokage, I guess the person who sold the information must be from the village and in a high position."

How can ordinary people sell information if they don't even know the Root department?

He also knows the detailed information of the Root, which explains the problem.

The traitor has a high position in the village.

"It can't be them."

The Third Hokage's face began to show age spots, and he was a little uncertain. Although he said it was impossible, he had actually begun to doubt it.

And the biggest suspects were his old partners.

Danzo should not do such a stupid thing to dig his own grave. Basically, it can be ruled out. Apart from Danzo, the remaining people... only the two advisory elders, the fat man who was retired at home, Akimichi Tofu, and Shinnosuke who held an important position in the Anbu.

Danzo was basically not suspected.

Unless he had a brain cramp, there was no reason for Utatane Koharu and Mitomon En to do such a thing.

Could it be Shinnosuke?

Thinking of this, the Third Hokage shuddered and shook his head repeatedly. That was his son.

If Yan knew that the Third Hokage even suspected his own son in order to catch the traitor, he would probably laugh to death.

Others had little motivation to betray the village, so the possibility of Akimichi Tofu was also very small, unless he was unwilling to stay away from the center of power, so he stabbed him in the back.

People who are power-hungry are suspicious.

The Third Hokage was no exception. He kept guessing and wondering who betrayed the village and sold out the important information of the village.

"Thank you for your hard work, Kakashi, but you can't rest yet. I need you to lead the team and lurk in the Daimyo's mansion."

"What Hokage means is..."

Kakashi was stunned for a moment, his eyes full of astonishment and disbelief.
