half a month later.
"Master Hokage, you summoned me!"
Shimura Naoya walked into Hokage's office in a depressed mood.
Half a month has passed, and it is speculated that there may be forces targeting the Shimura family that have not been discovered.
Today, he was summoned by the Third Hokage, and he had already vaguely guessed what the Third Hokage was going to say.
"Ah."
The Third Hokage nodded flatly, and fixed his eyes on Naoya Shimura.
"In the past half a month, Anbu sent two teams to track the Shimura clan members who went out on missions, but they did not find any traces of the Shimura clan forces."
"I decided to withdraw these two Anbu teams, do you have any objections?"
He was not willing to mobilize Anbu's power to help the Shimura family.
Now that half a month has failed, he immediately decided to withdraw the two Anbu teams.
"No."
Shimura Naoya shook his head.
Just as he guessed, the purpose of the Third Hokage summoning him today was indeed to withdraw the two Anbu teams.
He didn't ask the Third Hokage to extend the time, he directly chose to agree.
The Third Hokage seemed to be discussing with him, but the tone did not mean to discuss it.
Even if he asked, Sandai Hokage would refuse.
"If there's nothing else, go and do your work!"
The goal was achieved, and the third Hokage issued an order to chase away the guests.
Shimura Naoya's performance surprised him a bit.
Originally, he thought it would take a while, but he didn't expect Naoya Shimura to agree so readily.
"Master Hokage, then I will take my leave!"
Shimura Naoya saluted, exited the Hokage office, left the Hokage building, and returned to the Shimura family.
"Is my guess wrong?"
Up to now, even he himself can't help but doubt the previous speculation.
According to speculation, it is very likely that there is a force secretly targeting the Shimura family.
But in the past half a month, nothing was discovered.
This made him doubt his speculation.
"If my conjecture is wrong, then what happened to those clansmen, especially what happened to Shimura Tomohisa, was really just an accident?"
His brow furrowed deeply.
He doesn't think the death of Shimura Tomohisa and others was an accident, but judging from the current situation, the death of Shimura Tomohisa and others may really be an accident.
"Is it possible that the dark forces discovered Anbu's surveillance, so they gave up taking action against the Shimura family?"
His right hand involuntarily stroked his chin, lost in thought.
If the dark forces discovered the Anbu ninjas who were watching and gave up on the Shimura family, it could explain why the dark forces hadn't been discovered in the past half month.
It's not that this force doesn't exist, but because the Anbu ninjas under surveillance have been exposed, they temporarily gave up taking action against the Shimura family.
"All the ninjas sent by Anbu this time are elite ninjas, and some of them even have sentient ninjas."
"Can the dark forces really discover the Anbu ninjas who are watching, and not be discovered by the Anbu ninjas who are watching?"
He raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help doubting his speculation just now.
It is indeed possible to discover the Anbu ninja who is watching, and not to be discovered by the Anbu ninja who is watching.
But this possibility is not great.
Thinking about all kinds of possibilities in his mind for a long time, he couldn't sort out his thoughts, so he had no choice but to give up.
……
At Nanga Shrine, a high-level meeting of the Uchiha family whose participants are at least the elite Jonin is being held.
Uchiha Fugaku, three elders, and four elite jounin participated in the meeting.
The four elite Jonin are Uchiha Atsuko, Uchiha Min, Uchiha Yamami, and Uchiha Star.
There is no Uchiha Ara, but instead there are more Uchiha stars.
Uchiha Ara has been sent by Uchiha Fugaku to the secret stronghold of the Uchiha family to take over the work of Uchiha Star, allowing Uchiha Star to return to Konoha.
"Anbu has withdrawn those two ninja squads."
Uchiha Fuyue said.
There are sentient ninjas in these two ninja squads. In order to avoid being discovered by these two ninja squads, he did not send people to monitor the two ninja squads of Anbu.
The reason why he was able to know the news was that when the two ninja teams returned to Konoha, they happened to encounter members of the patrolling security department and were discovered by the patrolling security department members.
"In other words, you can continue to attack the Shimura family?"
Uchiha Atsuko said happily.
"It will take a while."
Uchiha Fugaku shook his head and expressed his speculation.
"Although these two ninja teams have returned to Konoha, it does not rule out that these two ninja teams pretended to withdraw, secretly left the village, and continued to follow the people who went out to perform missions in the Shimura family."
"It is indeed possible."
The second elder Uchiha Mori nodded, agreed with Uchiha Fugaku's speculation, and then said.
"The reason why the Shimura family and the Third Hokage were alerted this time, and even sent an Anbu team to set up traps, is because we attacked the Shimura family too frequently some time ago."
"Although every shot has been disguised as a natural death, it still aroused the vigilance of the Shimura family and the third generation of Hokage."
"What the Second Elder said was that our actions were indeed too frequent before."
Uchiha Fugaku said with some fear.
"Fortunately, I was the one who ran into this Anbu team. If the four of you were to fall into a trap."
"It has been exposed that the Uchiha family is targeting the Shimura family, and even your own lives will be in danger."
His eyes swept over Atsuko Uchiha and others.
"The patriarch said so."
Atsuko Uchiha, Min Uchiha, and Yakami Uchiha all nodded with some fear.
Each of the two Anbu teams sent by Anbu may have more than one elite jonin.
If they meet, even with their strength, their lives will be in danger, revealing that the Uchiha family is targeting the Shimura family.
"After a while, after confirming that there are no Anbu ninjas watching, we will start to attack the Shimura family members who are out on missions."
"But this time, we can't shoot too frequently. We need to greatly reduce the frequency of shots, so that the death of these people seems more normal."
Uchiha Fugaku speaks out his decision.
"But in this way, when will the Shimura family be able to be destroyed?"
Great elder Uchiha frowned for a moment.
For the Shimura family, he can be said to hate it to the bone, and he can't wait to destroy the Shimura family.
If the patriarch hadn't stopped him considering his age, he would have been among the people who took action against the Shimura family.
"Although it will take a lot of time, it is better than being safe and not easy to be discovered."
Uchiha Fugaku explained.
After a pause, he spoke again.
"With the remaining strength of the Shimura family, it is no longer a threat to the Uchiha family. What the Uchiha family needs to do most now is to deal with the three generations of Hokage."
Thinking of being attacked by the Third Hokage some time ago and being forced to leave the village to pursue Orochimaru, a cold light could not help but shine in his eyes.
"Three generations of Hokage?"
Everyone except Uchiha Ho Fugaku couldn't help but a cold look flashed across their faces.
Indeed, the Shimura family no longer poses a threat to the Uchiha family, they just need to get rid of the Shimura family step by step.
The primary goal of the Uchiha family today should be to deal with the three generations of Hokage.
"To deal with the third generation of Hokage, the traitor Uchiha Shisui cannot be avoided anyway. It is time to get rid of the traitor Uchiha Shisui."
Taking a deep breath, Uchiha Fugaku made a decision.
