Chapter 615：

Asuma looked a little tired:

"The Fourth Hokage, I want to know what will happen to the Sarutobi clan?"

Minato shook his head, very kindly:

"Asuma, what are you talking about? I just took back Kushina's property. I didn't pursue your father's corruption issue."

"Other dispositions are all ordered by Lord Orochimaru."

Asuma opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. To say that his father is really nothing.

The Yondaime and his wife died fighting for the village, and as a result, their son could not even have a full meal.

Now that the reckoning has begun, the Fourth Hokage has not vented his anger on him.

It can be considered that you have done your best to him.

"I understand. Thank you, the Fourth Hokage. These are the two weapons the old man bought for me. I will return them to the Hokage."

Asuma put his two chakra knives on the table.

Asuma is not a very hard-working person, let alone that he was a street kid before becoming a Guardian Ninja.

Of course I can’t afford these two knives at all.

This was given to him by Hiruzen Sarutobi when he went to protect the Twelve Ninja Warriors.

He had not been back for a long time and had not done many tasks, so it was no problem to buy these two knives.

But now he is planning a wedding with Hong, so if he uses money to buy a knife, he will naturally have no money to get married.

Minato was nine years older than Asuma at the time, and by the time Asuma graduated from the ninja school, Minato was already famous in the ninja world.

When Asuma was still a rebellious young man, Minato died in battle.

At that time, Minato's reputation was at its peak, and Asuma somewhat admired Minato.

He didn't expect that his father would treat Minato like this. Although it had nothing to do with Asuma, Asuma always felt guilty in his heart.

Minato is a person with clear grudges. If Hiruzen Sarutobi was still here now, Minato would take action against him.

But now that Sarutobi Hiruzen is dead, and Asuma has withdrawn all his only benefits, Minato is not prepared to do anything to Asma.

Minato showed a warm smile, held down the two chakra knives and pushed them back:

"You and Hong are about to get married. This pair of weapons can be considered as an early wedding gift for you."

"A ninja's strength will be greatly reduced without his own weapons."

Asuma understood what Minato meant, bowed and said:

"Thank you, Yondaime Hokage."

Minato said pointedly:

"What I have here is just some money."

Asuma responded: "Then I'll go first, Hokage-sama."

Minato nodded, and Asuma retreated.

"Oh, this kind of thing is really not suitable for me. It would be great if Xia Mu was here, he is the best at this kind of thing."

Minato said to himself.

…

Asuma breathed a sigh of relief as he exited. At least the Fourth Hokage was not prepared to pursue the case any further, which was a good thing.

The meaning of the fourth generation Hokage's last words is very obvious. He just had some money swallowed here. Now that the money has been returned, he will no longer pursue it.

The key now is Kakashi and Tsunade.

One of them lost his father, and the other had his whole family wiped out. He really didn't know how to explain it.

As the son of Hiruzen Sarutobi, Asuma was still ready to meet Kakashi.

Arrive at the door of Kakashi's house.

Asuma hesitated for a moment, then knocked on the door.

The door was opened by an old servant. After learning that the person who came was Asuma, he told him that Kakashi had gone out, but left him a letter.

Asuma opened the letter, there was only one line on it.

"It has nothing to do with you. Tsunade-sama wants to pursue it, and you can't stop it."

Asuma sighed.

It seems that he has figured it out and is not ready to go to Tsunade.

As Kakashi said, this matter had nothing to do with him in the first place. He could not stop it or change it.

Kakashi didn't take his anger out on him. They were friends before and they will still be in the future.

Asuma quickly returned to the clan.

Sarutobi Heng and Sarutobi Chongming came forward and asked:

"Asuma, what did Hokage-sama say?"

Asuma shook his head: "I haven't seen the Fifth Hokage. The Fourth Hokage just wants to recover the money."

"I didn't go to Tsunade-sama's side."

After Asma briefly talked about today's events, she spread her hands and said, "I can't stop this matter, and I can't change it either."

"It's useless to look for anyone. The Fifth Hokage-sama's money can only be paid back slowly. Please let the clan members be more honest these days."

Sarutobi Tsune actually didn't have much hope. Hearing what Asuma said, he quickly accepted it.

"I understand, I will make the clan members settle down and return the money."

Sarutobi Tsune is a person who is content with the status quo. He was coerced by Sarutobi Takaaki before and wanted to make the Sarutobi clan strong, but now it seems that it is just a dream.

At most, Sarutobi Heng did some coordinating work. He used his position to make some conveniences for the clan members.

He has been dismissed from his post, and he should be fine. He agreed with Asuma's cold treatment method.

Sarutobi Chongming glanced at the two of them.

"Asma, Great Elder, you are too naive."

"This is just the first step to deal with our Sarutobi tribe. Orochimaru will use more stringent methods next. If we don't resist now, we are just sitting back and waiting to be killed."

Asma was furious and yelled: "Third Elder! What are you thinking?"

"How to resist? Tell me how to resist?"

Sarutobi Takaaki said coldly: "Orochimaru is Lord Hiruzen's disciple after all. We, the Sarutobi clan, want to be independent. Is it possible that he can still kill us all?"

Asma laughed angrily: "Third Elder, with our clan's current reputation, if we stand on our own, which village would dare to ask us?"

"Is there something wrong with your head?"

Asuma used to be a street kid, but now that he saw Sarutobi Takaaki trying to cause trouble again, he couldn't help but curse.

Sarutobi Chongming was very angry: "Asuma, I am your sixth uncle after all, why are you talking?"

Asuma slapped her palm on the table:

"Sarutobi Takamei, the young man relies on the old and sells the old. Now the second elder is doing work for those tribesmen in the prison every day."

"The purpose is to get them to plead guilty early and pay compensation to those who deserve compensation, so that Hokage-sama can let us go."

"Other Uchiha can go out independently, but Uchiha Natsuki can fight."

"If you dare to declare independence, you will be declared a traitor and die here immediately."

…

Chapter 691 False Hope

"Who in our clan can stop the Fourth Hokage's Flying Thunder God?"

As if being silenced, Sarutobi Takaaki sat down without saying a word.

How could he not know this?

Those who can become elders will not have cerebral palsy.

He had been following Sarutobi Hiruzen for a long time and did not believe that Tsunade would let them go so easily.

For Sarutobi Takaaki, that was impossible. If he were Tsunade, he would definitely wipe out the entire Sarutobi clan.

I am not taking action now just because if I do it directly I will encounter many obstacles.

After all, the Sarutobi clan has many people.

However, the skin of Sarutobi Hiruzen has been peeled off. As long as it continues to ferment, the reputation of the Sarutobi clan will rot sooner or later.

At that time, if you gave them any crime, you could even massacre the entire Sarutobi clan in an honest way.

This idea is not just his idea, but the idea of ​​many Sarutobi clan members.

Therefore, even if some people were imprisoned, they were not tortured to extract confessions.

It still makes everyone in the Sarutobi clan panic all day long.

But Sarutobi Takaaki felt that things were not that simple.

The top decision-maker of Konoha is not only the fifth Hokage Orochimaru, but also the fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato.

The outside world has no idea what roles they play.

But so far in this storm, some people have been deliberately left out.

The strongest core combat power of the Sarutobi clan is the people who were previously incorporated into the ANBU.

Whether those people have sensitive identities or have not purchased real estate.

They were not imprisoned by Konoha, but were directly released back home.

Sarutobi Takaaki felt that there must be something wrong with this.

That’s why he came up with a seemingly stupid idea.

Sarutobi Takaaki wanted to see the positions of Asuma and Sarutobi Tsune.

Now it seems that Sarutobi Tsune and Asuma are completely different from him.

Sarutobi Takaaki's silence made Asuma soften his tone:

"Third Elder, our Sarutobi clan does not have anyone as strong as Natsuki Uchiha. Now we can only cooperate with the Hokage-sama in the investigation."

"The two Hokages will not embarrass us, and Tsunade-sama will not wait until now if she wants to take action."

Sarutobi Chongming's thoughts were changing, but he just said in a low voice:

"I know, I will restrain the people."

Sarutobi Takaaki is now guessing who is really responsible for this storm.

If Orochimaru takes action, this group of Anbu people will definitely be purged first.

But Orochimaru directly returned the people to the clan, which makes no sense at all.

And this part of the Sarutobi tribe in the Anbu tribe all followed Sarutobi's admiration for the Ming Dynasty.

Asuma didn't even know that this group of people existed.

The situation is serious now, and he needs to figure out many things.

…

In the past few days, Sarutobi Chongming had received bad news from his clan.

Everyone in the Sarutobi clan is being investigated.

More and more people are being locked up.

But among the people under investigation, there were still no people from Sarutobi ANBU.

That night, Takaaki Sarutobi was looking through the assets of the Sarutobi clan.

Two "pops" suddenly appeared on the head.
