Right in front of the trace created by the Four Symbols Sealing Technique, nineteen corpses were neatly arranged together. Each corpse was covered in blood, and the faces of these ninjas were covered up... The so-called one death, one household registration book, is probably like this.
Considering that the Senju clan had not been hiding for very long, there was no guarantee that their faces and identities would not be recognized, so after dawn, even the most loyal Anbu around the Hokage were not allowed to approach these corpses, let alone examine them to obtain more information.
Even the people guarding the corpse were not ANBU ninjas, but Shadow ninjas who had retreated last night and were ordered to return quietly after the battle was roughly settled.
The Shadow Stream is different from the Anbu and other Konoha ninjas. On the one hand, most of the Shadow ninjas are from the Uzumaki clan, and they are all very young ninjas, so some things are unlikely to be leaked to them; on the other hand, if there is anyone who is worthy of the absolute trust of the Third Hokage regarding what happened last night, then Hanyu must be one of them.
Because their positions are very consistent, none of them want to expose the true identity of the culprit who caused the incident - the Senju clan launched an attack on the Third Hokage. It is conceivable what kind of impact and turmoil would be caused if such a fact was known by most of the ninjas in the village.
Shortly after dawn, Hanyu met with the Third Hokage and told him what had happened last night. Whether the words of the ninja he killed last night were true or false, and whether they were trustworthy, these were not things Hanyu could judge, nor did he need to judge.
He just needs to be responsible for informing the Third Hokage of the matter truthfully. The decision-making power is the Hokage's business. Regardless of whether Biwako is credible or not, it is not something particularly important to Hanyu that must be identified... As I said, there will naturally be people who are more motivated, qualified and have the need to verify everything than him.
Hanyu didn't know whether such If it had happened, then the ending of Biwako would have made it clear that she was trustworthy. If it hadn't happened, then the situation would be a little more complicated.
As for another thing, whether the Senju's actions were in cooperation with the Fire Country Daimyo, Hanyu intuitively felt that it should not be the case. The key point connecting the two is concentrated on Tsunade. However, the goal of the Fire Country Daimyo was to obtain Tsunade and then connect with Konoha, while the purpose of the person who took action last night was to hold Tsunade in his hands, and then use her identity and through certain plans to unify the Senju clan again.
The gap between these two purposes is still very large.
Using Tsunade to exchange for the support of the daimyo? The clansmen of the first Hokage would not be so hopeless. Moreover, even if such an alliance existed, the radical Senju would only get some financial support and "legitimacy" from the daimyo , which would not be of much help to what they did last night, but would increase the risk of leaks beforehand.
What's more, even the "radical Senju" was probably dissatisfied with the jumping around of the Fire Country Daimyo. They must have been the ones who slashed the throats of the Daimyo's envoys last night.
If a ninja has any dissatisfaction with ordinary people, just doing this kind of "convenient thing" is enough to solve everything.
In another sense, Hanyu doesn't care whether the daimyo makes such an alliance or not, because... most of the time, smart people or stupid people are not so annoying, because everyone knows that they are smart or stupid, but those who are obviously stupid but think they are smart are particularly annoying.
In Hanyu's opinion, the daimyo's brain was the kind that had been polished for twenty years and then for six months, without a single wrinkle.
Everyone should be unrelated to each other and live in peace with each other.
In last night's battle, the Third Hokage was only slightly injured, and after Hanyu finished his report, he returned to his subordinates again... Looking at the numerous corpses lined up together, he suddenly had a very absurd feeling.
Because of the identity of the bride, the original intention of the Third Hokage's wedding must have been to further appease the Senju clan, but now it has backfired.
And because many foreign envoys came to Konoha to participate in the Hokage's wedding, Konoha at this time felt like it was embarrassing itself to outsiders... This ninja village is the Hidden Leaf Village, but how big is the gap between it and Konoha at its peak?
"Everyone, clean up the scene. The Third Hokage has given us full responsibility for these enemy bodies." Hanyu said this to his subordinates, and then signaled them to take the bodies away.
The Uzumaki ninjas nodded, and saw one of them walk up to the bodies, squat down, then pull out a scroll and begin sealing the bodies in one by one.
Cleaning up the mess in the village is not the job of Hanyu's small organization, but as the first appearance of an organization, whether it was accompanying the bride's actions yesterday, fighting the enemy last night or guarding the corpses this morning, the presence of the Shadow Stream has been thoroughly brought out, and in a sense it also reflects the Third Hokage's trust in this new organization... Although the facts are somewhat different from other people's imaginations, such a view is not a bad thing for the Shadow Stream.
After sealing the corpse, Hanyu took the scroll handed over by his subordinates, and then the Shadow Stream began to evacuate... At this time, Hanyu signaled with his eyes that Tsunade, who had stayed here, should follow.
If these corpses could be returned to the Senju clan , then even the Third Hokage would definitely want to do so. As long as it was good for the village and could stabilize the situation in the village, the Third Hokage would not think that there was anything wrong with his minor injuries, and would not have any special emotions.
However, the "Senju" as a group has disappeared, so this kind of communication still does not exist.
Then at least the bodies of these Thousand Hands should be properly and thoroughly destroyed, rather than letting them fall into the hands of someone with ulterior motives... No one should be able to trace the identities of the bodies, nor should anyone use the bodies of the Senju as precious "experimental materials."
Hanyu himself is not the kind of person who likes to do anything with other people's corpses, so destroying these corpses under Tsunade's witness is the best option.
After retreating back to the base, the group began to cremate the bodies directly in a corner of the underground space without any hesitation.
Before long, the flesh and blood human body turned into a pile of black carbonized matter. At this time, there was no need to distinguish whether it had a Senju or not... This was considered a complete retreat.
Later that day, a clear and continuous sound of footsteps was heard again in the underground passage of Shadow Stream.
Many departments of Konoha are buried underground, and now, finally a neighbor comes to visit Hanyu... Hanyu Yu, the Lord of the Shadows, is going to have a cordial meeting with the invincible scapegoat, Shimura Danzo.
