Chapter 84 Konoha Interrogation and Intelligence Investigation and Statistics Bureau, also known as

Chapter 84 Konoha Interrogation and Intelligence Investigation and Statistics Bureau, also known as Konoha Bureau
"Report to the Third Hokage, the fighting in the blockade area has stopped, please give instructions."

"Send someone to scout. The scale of the battle inside is too large. Don't cause trouble for Mito-sama."

"Reporting to the Sandaime, I have already checked and the enemy has disappeared. Lord Mito has been killed in the battle. The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox has been transferred to Uzumaki Kushina and is still in a deep coma. The only person at the scene is Minister Mitsuha Kotobuki."

Hatake Sakumo half-knelt in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen and spoke.

"You went there in person?"

"It is my duty to share Konoha's worries."

"good."

Sarutobi Hiruzen patted Hatake Sakumo's shoulder, but a hint of regret flashed in his eyes. Sometimes, subordinates who are too stubborn may not be a good thing. What if Lord Mito is not dead when you go there?

Thinking of Hatake Sakumo, he thought of Sarutobi Shinnosuke again. Sarutobi Hiruzen felt his heart skip a beat again. The person was not dead, but he was no different from being dead. The diagnosis of the medical department was that the soul had suffered serious damage and it was estimated that there was no possibility of him waking up.
"Mito-sama, you are still ahead of me..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a deep breath, feeling a little regretful, but also a lot more relaxed. After all, the ability of Kagura's mind's eye put too much pressure on people.
"Pass on my order, all Konoha's inner ninjas, except those who cannot leave their posts, go to welcome Mito-sama!"

"Yes!"

Li Zhongren sat quietly next to Uzumaki Mito.

She is dead.

Before she died, she looked into the distance with a smile on her face. Perhaps she saw the person she had been thinking about.

In fact, he didn't have a very deep relationship with this person. Even if she died, he didn't feel any sadness in his heart. At most, he felt that an era had finally come to an end.

In fact, compared to her death, the fact that she revealed the secret in his heart was what surprised him. He could only say that secret techniques were really unreasonable. This was simply the Six Paths Noble Phantasm in human form.
Of course, the reason why he didn't mention it to anyone was entirely due to his own personality.

He doesn't like to publicize a thing to the world before it's done. He prefers to bring it up afterward. Just like when Minato Namikaze asked him several times, he just said to live freely. But the only one who truly understood the inner meaning was Mito Uzumaki.

He wants to control Konoha, change it into the shape he likes, and spread it throughout the ninja world.
For this reason, he chose to be Sarutobi Hiruzen's sword.

You thought I was your knife.

Little do you know, you are actually my knife
“Gah~~~”

In the sky, there were bursts of eagle cries.
This is Konoha's flying ninja beast. In addition to its reconnaissance function, it also has the function of transmitting intelligence.
For example, the chirping sound at this moment means gathering here.
Not long after, Sarutobi Hiruzen brought a group of ninjas to a corner of the Uchiha mansion, which had almost become a ruin.

A quick glance revealed more than two hundred people.

The Anbu, the Root, the family, and the civilian jonin.

There is no doubt that this must be an order from Sarutobi Hiruzen, asking all the people who have a say in Konoha Village to gather here, a kind of Jonin Council in an alternative sense.

"Mito Uzumaki's body is still warm, and you're already doing this. It's a bit hasty."

Li Zhongren secretly sighed. It seemed that the death of his son had completely torn this ninja hero apart.
"Head of Konoha's torture department, meeting the Sandaime."

Li Zhongren stood up and said to Sarutobi Hiruzen, but this time, he did not kneel on one knee. Since he was going to show his fangs, there was no need for him to hide his weakness.

"Sanye, I'm sorry, the scale of the battle here is too large, I dare not send people over easily."

Sarutobi Hiruzen came to Li Zhongren, but his eyes were looking at Uzumaki Mito who was kneeling there, dead for a long time but still looked young. Although he felt a little happy, he also felt a little sad. After all, people are complicated. His feelings for Uzumaki Mito were also complicated. She was both his teacher and his mother, but unfortunately, they still fell out at the last minute.
"Even if you send someone, they will probably be driven away by Grandma Mito because the enemy is too strong."

Li Zhongren also sighed.

"By the way, Sandaime, before Grandma Mito died, she left a few wills."

"Oh? What is it?" Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Li Zhongren. Although he didn't say anything, the meaning in his eyes was very clear. Don't take advantage of this issue and think that you can use a dead person to fool people.

"This...if I say it directly, it may seem like I am lying, so I hope that Hokage-sama, you can find the Yamanaka clan and the Kurama clan and extract their memories to prove that what I said is true."

"Nonsense!"

Danzo Shimura walked out from the crowd, his face full of anger, but this anger was somewhat exaggerated.

"Using that kind of jutsu on Mito-sama is a blasphemy against Mito-sama!"

"Um, Mr. Danzo, I mean, use it on me."

"??"

All the ninjas present couldn't help but focus their eyes on Li Zhongren. Even Shimura Danzo looked so surprised that he forgot to disguise his expression.

"Are you serious?"

After a long moment, he asked. After all, the entire Konoha knew that using memory extraction techniques on ninjas would cause great damage to the ninja's soul. Normally, this ability would only be used on enemies.

"This is a serious matter. How can I joke? Of course, I will not deliberately seek sympathy here. You all know that I have awakened Wood Release, and the most distinctive feature of Wood Release is its vitality. The memory extraction technique will cause damage to my soul, but it will be slowly repaired later."

"In that case, Yamanaka Xing, Kurama Muyun, you two will be responsible for extracting the memories of Minister Kotori Yu Mitsuha. The time limit is set at .3 hours."

After thinking for a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke. After all, if he went any further, the memory of his conversation with Mitsuha Takanashi would be exposed. Now that he had finally killed Uchiha Setsuna, he didn't want to cause any more trouble.

"Yes."

The two nodded and came to Li Zhongren one after another.

He knows the one on the left, Kurama Murakumo, Kurama Yakumo's father. However, in the original novel, the girl is about the same age as the protagonists. It is estimated that she had a child in her old age, so it is no wonder that her physique is not good. He does not know the one on the right, but she looks a bit like Yamanaka Inoichi. She should be Yamanaka Inoichi's father.
"Minister Mitsuha, I'm sorry."

"You two, you're welcome. Do you need my cooperation?"

"You just need to sit here and don't resist our operations."

"it is good"

After saying that, Li Zhongren slowly closed his eyes, with an attitude of being at the mercy of others, but in fact, he had already immersed his mind deep in his heart, where was the defense system constructed by the Wood Release Memory Tree House, which naturally came from the brain occlusion technique.

Here, his memories were sorted out and organized into categories, and he could even make false memories.

This is also the reason why he dared to let people extract his memory.
As mentioned before, since he wants to play with the Sandaime, he has to play big.
"puff!"

On the left, Kurama Congyun made seals with his hands, and a drawing board was summoned. He held a palette in his left hand and a brush in his right hand, and painted Li Zhongren on the drawing board stroke by stroke. As the characters became more and more complete, the world in the painting seemed to come alive.
On the right, Shan Zhongxing opened a scroll and spread it on the ground. Then he formed a seal with his hands and aimed it at Li Zhongren's head. He used the secret technique of the Shanzhong clan. Then, everyone saw something was constantly being recorded by the scroll on the ground.
"call"

After a long time, the two stopped almost at the same time, looked at each other, and then formed seals one after another.

On the left, a movie-like scene is played on Kurama Muyun's drawing board, and on the right, a clear sound is played on Yamanaka Xing's scroll.
These are the two major families in Konoha that specialize in studying illusions and memories. One is in charge of the images, and the other is in charge of the sounds. The two complement each other and supervise each other, because once the images and sounds do not match, it means that one of them is cheating.
Therefore, the ninjas present watched the previous events again as if they were watching a movie.

Especially the final climax, the Nine-Tails vs. Susanoo, made all the ninjas gasp, especially Uchiha Fugaku, who even wanted to cry. Just as Uchiha Setsuna died, here came another descendant of Uchiha Madara. Why is it so difficult for the Uchiha clan to live in peace?
However, when the scene turned to the descendants of Uchiha Madara, who used some strange ninjutsu to sneak attack Uzumaki Mito and then escaped, after Uzumaki Mito said his last words, his eyes lit up again.
"I'm dying."

Uzumaki Mito looked into Li Zhongren's eyes. Behind her, there was an exploding flame.
"First, Monkey, you work diligently for Konoha. I allow you not to disband the Red Flame Army, but the price is that they are not allowed to occupy the village's economy, and they are not allowed to take on the village's missions."

"Second, after I die, my body will be cremated and my ashes will be sent back to my ancestral homeland in the Whirlpool Country by Mitsuha."

"Third, based on Mitsuha's special Wood Release properties, I will pass on the information I have parsed to him. He is now the only person in Konoha who can detect the secret techniques of black market traders. Therefore, I allow him to reorganize the Interrogation Department and reorganize it into the 'Konoha Interrogation and Intelligence Investigation and Statistics Bureau'."
