Chapter 77 Minato Namikaze's Wrath
In the following days, one of Yuan Tuoye's shadow clones was stationed in the office of the Dark Division, receiving the reports from the squad leader every day.
Konoha Village is quite large, with a large population, so it would take a considerable amount of time to investigate it.
Moreover, Shimura Danzo's status was not low, so it was necessary to check each one to avoid omissions.
If they wrongly accuse the other party, then the other party will definitely retaliate when they have the chance.
Meanwhile, Gen Takuno's main body spends most of his time in the experimental base, using shadow clones to research the Oni-Garuru technique and practice the Spirit Transformation technique.
As for Gen Takuno's true form, he has been constantly training his physique.
As for learning the Spirit Transformation Technique, Gen Takuno used the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique to create a large number of shadow clones. Since each shadow clone can only practice the Spirit Transformation Technique once before it is deactivated, the only way to practice for a long time is to use a large number of shadow clones.
Fortunately, because the shadow clone had only been learning the Spirit Transformation Technique for a very short time, he had accumulated very little fatigue, so it did not affect the normal training of the main body of Gen Takuno.
In addition, he also found a trick to learn the art of spiritification using shadow clones.
That means that when shadow clones practice the Spirit Transformation Technique, they should not practice together, but one by one.
After the first shadow clone dissipates, continue practicing with the second one.
According to the principle of shadow clones, only the original body can accumulate experience after the shadow clone is released, and only the newly created shadow clone can enjoy this experience bonus.
So it seems that doing this has no effect?
This might be the case if you learn other ninjutsu, but the Spirit Transformation Technique is a little different.
When practicing the Spirit Transformation Technique, spiritual energy transforms into a spiritual body, while the remaining physical energy is insufficient to support the existence of the shadow clone and dissipates.
The spirit can choose to return to the original body of Gen Takuno, but he also discovers that it can return to other shadow clones.
Because the spiritual energy of the shadow clones is naturally of the same origin as that of Gen Takuno.
Thus, the shadow clone gains the cultivation experience of the previous shadow clone, can continue to practice based on this experience, and then pass it on to the next shadow clone.
Only after the last one dissipates will the accumulated experience be passed on to Gen Takuno.
This discovery has also greatly improved the efficiency of cultivating the art of spiritualization.
Even so, Yuan Tuoye sighed, the Spirit Transformation Technique truly lived up to its reputation as the highest-level S-rank forbidden technique, its difficulty was ridiculously high.
If Dan Kato were still alive, it might be easier for him to be taught by his own hands, just like Minato Namikaze taught him the Four Symbols Seal.
Even if Gen Takuno discovered the trick, it would probably take a long time to learn it just by relying on these cold records.
Well then, let's keep studying hard! There are still a few months until the time he agreed with Feng Hua Nu Tao and the others. He believes he can learn and master it within these few months!
Inside the office of the deputy captain of the Konoha Anbu.
At this moment, the squad leader arrived here with cold sweat on his forehead.
"What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?" Yuan Tuoye looked at the other person with a bit of curiosity.
Could it be that the investigation was discovered by the Root? If so, then there is indeed a problem.
"Sir, we discovered something else during our investigation." The squad leader was also somewhat troubled at this point.
He was almost incredulous that what his subordinates had investigated was true.
But the survey results from all four classes were the same, so he had no choice but to believe it.
"Speak." Yuan Tuoye raised an eyebrow; the information that had shocked the other party so much seemed quite interesting.
"Yes." The squad leader felt relieved after hearing Yuan Tuoye's voice. In any case, Yuan Tuoye would be the one to take the blame if things went wrong. He only needed to tell the other party the information, and it was up to Yuan Tuoye to judge whether it was true or not.
"During our investigation, we suddenly noticed some unusual noises coming from within Konoha Village," the squad leader said.
"Oh? What's that sound?" Takuno Minamoto became interested.
The squad leader clicked his tongue, organized his thoughts, and said, "They're saying that the Hokage is Konoha's jinx, and that he should be held responsible for the Nine-Tails' attack. In addition, there are rumors that the Nine-Tails is actually the Hokage's wife, and that her son is a little fox demon."
As he said this, the squad leader broke out in a cold sweat again. He cursed inwardly at the person who spread this message for being so audacious, daring to fabricate any kind of news.
Yuan Tuoye immediately perked up and squinted his eyes.
The Nine-Tails is a top secret. Only the Third Hokage, the two advisors, Danzo Shimura, and a very small number of Anbu members know about it.
It seems that only Danzo Shimura has the motive to expose this information.
But why would they expose themselves like this? Did they think Minato Namikaze was the Third Hokage? Would they let him spread such things?
Yuan Tuoye was a little confused, but then he quickly realized what was going on.
Danzo Shimura probably didn't expect that the Anbu were gathering intelligence among the villagers and had stumbled upon the Root organization spreading these rumors.
Normally, such news would take at least a while to reach the Hokage's ears, by which time the situation would be irreversible, and Root would have already erased all traces of themselves.
At that time, even though Danzo Shimura was still highly suspected, it seemed that there was nothing that could be done to him without solid evidence.
"When did this news start circulating?" Gen Takuno asked.
"It started spreading in a very small area yesterday afternoon," the squad leader said directly. "Because we've been gathering intelligence among the villagers these past few days, we can confirm that there was absolutely no such news spreading in the previous days."
"Not even a day has passed?" Yuan Tuoye's eyes flashed as he said, "They will definitely continue to spread these rumors. You all keep an eye on those people and make sure you know who is spreading this message."
.
"Yes!" the squad leader replied immediately.
"Furthermore, you should not discuss this rumor internally, and especially not mention it to your families, understand?" Yuan Tuoye looked at the squad leader with a somewhat frightening gaze.
"Yes, I will give the order," the squad leader said.
"Okay, go take care of your business." Yuan Tuoye nodded and let the other person leave. Then, he leaned back in his chair and rubbed his forehead.
Danzo Shimura, what audacity!
How dare they spread this kind of thing? Are they trying to create another set of white teeth?
Unfortunately, his wish could not be fulfilled.
At this moment, Gen Takuno's lips curled up. Even if Minato Namikaze had a good personality, he would never let his wife and son off easily after they were threatened.
He had previously thought that even if Minato Namikaze wanted to remove Danzo Shimura, he would eventually be persuaded by those three old men and might only be able to get Danzo Shimura to hand over some of his power.
However, now that Kushina Uzumaki and Naruto are involved, the seriousness of the matter is completely different. Minamoto Takuno suddenly laughed, it seems that Shimura Danzo is really anxious.
Minato Namikaze was simply too young, so young that he saw no hope of succeeding as Hokage, so he had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure.
How could the other party not know that this step was extremely dangerous? But for the sake of the Hokage position, he had no choice but to take the risk!
This is definitely a good thing for Yuan Tuoye.
Although Danzo Shimura seems to have nothing to do with him, he has something that Danzo Shimura wants.
Not only is Yamato currently at the root, but Danzo Shimura definitely still has Hashirama cells in his possession!
Is he able to gain both of these things from this incident?
Yuan Tuoye licked his lips, as if there was still a chance.
However, now that Takuno Minamoto has stood up, he also needs to tell Minato Namikaze what happened.
Minato Namikaze was handling his current affairs, but his thoughts would occasionally drift to the investigation of Takuno Minamoto, a matter he took very seriously.
Logically speaking, at a time when Konoha is in such a precarious state, it is not a good time to deal with such a deeply entrenched organization, as this might make things even worse for Konoha, which is already facing numerous difficulties.
He naturally understood this principle, but he still did it anyway, and had Gen Takuno investigate.
Because he only had this one chance to deal with Shimura Danzo, he wanted to deal with this matter after resolving the crisis in Konoha.
It was too late by then!
As the Hokage, he could certainly bring it up, but since the matter is in the past, the Third Hokage, Homura Mitokado, and the two advisors, Koharu Utatane, would definitely speak up for Danzo Shimura.
Back then, even punishments could only be mild and ineffective.
Therefore, he could only choose to launch an attack before the matter was over, thus...
Even those three couldn't show too much favoritism towards Shimura Danzo in front of all the Jonin.
Just as Minato Namikaze was pondering, Takuno Minamoto also arrived at the Hokage's office.
"Senior, has the investigation been completed?"
"We've investigated about 80% of it, and the current result is still that no one received any help from Root during the Nine-Tails' rampage," said Gen Takuno.
"Just as I thought." A hint of coldness appeared in Minato Namikaze's eyes. He would now wait for Takuno Minamoto to finish his investigation before presenting the results at the meeting.
"However, I didn't come here for this matter," Yuan Tuoye said, his expression somewhat serious.
Minato Namikaze also noticed the change in Genji's expression and frowned. What happened this time?
Takuno Minamoto quickly relayed the squad leader's words to Minato Namikaze.
When Minato Namikaze heard the first part of these rumors, he looked a little sad, because although it was a bit wrong, he couldn't refute it if someone really said it.
But when he heard what came next, which involved his wife and son, he froze.
He was wondering at that moment, how many people actually knew about this?
It can be said that there are very few of them.
Therefore, even though it has not yet been determined who spread this information, his biggest suspect is Shimura Danzo!
At this moment, Minato Namikaze also showed an angry expression.
He could ignore what people said about him, but he absolutely could not accept that his wife and son would be called monsters by the villagers in the future!
"Senpai!" Minato Namikaze suddenly shouted.
"Here!" Gen Takuno looked at Namikaze Minato. This was the first time he had clearly seen anger on the other man's face. His usual warm smile was completely gone, which showed how much this matter had affected him.
"We must find out who is spreading this message!" Minato Namikaze's voice was icy cold.
"Of course, I've already ordered all the undercover agents to investigate the source of this message. And since the message has only been circulating for a short time, they'll definitely continue to spread it," said Gen Takuno.
"Good, very good!" Minato Namikaze, in his anger, also looked at Takuno Minamoto.
As expected, he knew that appointing Yuan Tuoye as the deputy captain of the ANBU was the right thing to do; the other party's decisive action did not disappoint him.
At this moment, Minato Namikaze walked to the window, looking at the view below, his anger still showing no signs of abating.
