Chapter 509: An Opportunity to establish Prestige in Konoha

Chapter 509: An Opportunity to establish Prestige in Konoha

Over five minutes passed without a word being spoken. Finally, Shikaku said, "There is no point in wasting time here. Let's just continue the investigation. If we receive more information, then we could understand the picture better. If we don't then we will have to plant a bait and hope the culprits fall for it. Otherwise, the only option is waiting until they attack again."

Everyone nodded. Hiruzen said, "Alright, this meeting ends here. I'll assign all available Hyuga, Inuzuka, Yamanaka and Aburame ninjas to do a blanket search of the entire village. I'll call the Clan Leaders here and inform them of the situation. Even clan compounds will be investigated. Does anyone have an issue?"

No one had an issue. Hiruzen looked at Fujin and said, "Those ninjas won't be able to detect any new structures hidden with the help of high-level seals. Though I can dispatch other Grandmasters, their numbers aren't high. Can your clones search through the entire village?"

Everyone else in the room was surprised by Hiruzen's question. Apart from Shikaku and Fujin, worry appeared on their faces. That also included the Anbu Guards. However, before anyone could say anything, Fujin nodded and answered, "Sure."

Hiruzen replied, "Good. Map out every location that is hidden with the help of seals inside the village. Also, inspect abandoned bases. Keep your main body nearby. I'll inform you when clan compounds can be inspected as well. If possible, inspect a few kilometers outside the Village Walls as well."

Fujin nodded and said, "Alright, I'll begin."

Fujin opened the door and disappeared from the room. Hiruzen looked at Shikaku and instructed, "Shikaku, stay in my office. You'll be analyzing all the new information that comes here."

He looked at his old friends and said, "You three can look over the investigation conducted by the ninjas I will dispatch and ensure that nothing is missed."

They nodded and left the room as well, leaving only Shikaku and Hiruzen in the room. The two of them will have to soon pass a lot of orders. New novel chapters are published on

Fujin appeared on top of the Hokage Building. Though his expression was plain, he was still feeling very weird. He thought, 'When I decided to kill a few Root ninjas to trouble Danzo, I never expected that I would be asked to speculate about the matter and be given the most important task of investigation

It's like a judge asking a murderer who he thought was the murderer and then ordering the murderer to find the murder weapon and check the places he could be hiding in. The situation is so freaking amusing and yet I can't laugh'

Fujin could only shake his head in disbelief. Though his plan was good, it wasn't supposed to be this good. Even he couldn't understand how things reached this stage.

In an instant, 48 Shadow Clones appeared around Fujin. All instantly dispersed. While Fujin had done plenty of crazy things in the Ninja World, be it the riot he caused in the Land of Wind, forcing Roshi to transform, slaughtering Iwa Jounins or killing Juzo, this was the first time he would be doing something crazy openly in Konoha and allow everyone to know that it was his action.

Hiruzen had asked Fujin to investigate every single secret base inside Konoha. That included Anbu bases, Root bases, secret bases created by the ninja clans and anything else that existed inside and just outside the village.

It displayed two things. The first was Hiruzen's trust in Fujin. After today, there will be very little that is hidden from Fujin in the village. That is why everyone in Hiruzen's office was surprised and worried. Danzo for one didn't want Fujin to gain so much authority. Unfortunately for him, the situation didn't allow him to speak as it was his Root facing the losses.

Unlike Katsuhiro, Danzo's thoughts were the exact opposite. He was stunned to hear what Katsuhiro had said. He thought, 'He gave him credit so easily? No, it isn't right. How can someone Hiruzen chose to join the council so early be so open-minded?

He must have seen through my scheme. As long as he says that this proposal was put forth by Katsuhiro and doesn't try to force it on the council, the clan leaders will be vigilant against Katsuhiro and not Fujin. They will have no reason to vote him out. And, since he isn't stealing any credit, I can't defame him. Such a crafty kid!

The only thing I can do is ruin his reputation among civilian ninjas. That said, will he be affected by public opinion?'

Danzo couldn't be sure. Fujin openly hung around and guided someone like Naruto who was a social pariah and probably the most disliked person in Konoha. It showed that Fujin didn't care much about his reputation. Seeing that Danzo was lost in thought, Katsuhiro asked, "Why did you call me here?"

Danzo looked at it and replied, "Just to ask for your progress with the proposal. You can leave."

Katsuhiro was annoyed at being called for such a small matter. He left the Root base without exchanging any pleasantries.

Danzo didn't mind that. He had more important things to think about. He thought, 'Suzuki Fujin Something about this boy is awfully off But I can't put my finger on what exactly is off.'
