Chapter 614 Investigation(1/3)
A thorough investigation of the insiders in Konoha Hospital, and even the entire medical department, is not something that can be done easily.
Even though the medical department has been nominally under the command of the Hokage, compared to the Konoha that Tsunade knew more than ten years ago, the Konoha at this time is undoubtedly somewhat unfamiliar.
More than ten years ago, I was an expert in Konoha's medical department, but that's not necessarily the case now.
At least some of the functions of the medical department have not yet been consolidated into the hands.
Fortunately, the purpose of targeting the insider this time was to thoroughly investigate the quality problems in the supply of frontline drugs, and the Ninja clan also supported this matter.
The hospital and even the entire medical department have made such a major mistake. Obviously, it is no longer the Hokage's personal matter, but a matter that all members of Konoha's management must deal with seriously.
Naturally, we cannot condone the mole who is harming the injured ninjas on the front lines.
Sitting on her office chair, Tsunade's desk contained the information sent by the ANBU ninja, and in addition, there were four photos.
Tsunade stared at the four photos spread out along with the intelligence documents with sharp eyes... Judging from the results of the ANBU investigation, these four people were most suspected of betraying Konoha and being spies from the Kingdom of Demons.
Just as she was staring at the four photos, the window behind her suddenly opened and made a noise.
Jiraiya jumped in through the window in an unusual way.
"Tsunade, are you still busy here? It's already so late."
It was pitch dark outside and it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
The ANBU on duty here have just changed their shifts. In the entire Hokage building, only the Hokage's office is still brightly lit, while the rest of the place is shrouded in darkness.
"What are you talking about? If we don't find out the insider in the medical department, I will have trouble sleeping and eating right now."
Tsunade glanced at Jiraiya who came to the desk.
Although the other person's face was smiling, there was a hint of fatigue deep in his eyes, and it was obvious that he was not having an easy time these days.
"How are things going with Fukasaku-sennin and Shima-sennin?"
Tsunade asked with a sigh.
In fact, when she learned that Mt. Myoboku was under attack, she planned to use the far body water to personally bring Konoha's elite to assist and resist the invasion of the Kingdom of Demons.
However, considering the hidden dangers within Konoha and the cruel reality that Jiraiya was imprisoned in the Bear Country, she had to make some sacrifices.
That is to give up supporting Mt. Myoboku, focus on rescuing Jiraiya, and stabilize the village's rear area to prevent the inner ghost from taking advantage of him again.
Otherwise, she didn't know what chaos would happen again in Konoha's rear after she left.
This is the most reliable method decided through high-level meetings.
"No matter how you hide it, it's hard to say that the two of them are in a cheerful mood now..."
Jiraiya replied.
"According to the troops at the border of the Land of Fire, a team belonging to Mt. Myoboku was introduced to the border during the day and was resting there. The leaders were Gamabunta and Takeru Gama, but they were seriously injured at this time and were still in the wood at the border.
Ye camp for recuperation.”
Tsunade told this piece of information...
Jiraiya was silent for a while and asked, "Where is Tomahiro?"
As the three famous brothers of Mt. Myoboku, they are also his best partners. If they are escaping, there will never be only two of them. But now only Gamabunta and Takeru Gama have escaped to the Land of Fire, but Hiroshi Gama has not appeared...
"On a plain in the River Kingdom, Anbu discovered the skeleton of a giant beast that had not been completely burned... Not surprisingly, it should be the corpse of the toad you mentioned named Toadhiro. And at the scene, according to the survey,
There are signs of fierce fighting.”
"Yeah?"
Jiraiya took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and suppressed the anger in his heart without causing an attack.
Tsunade also felt very sorry for what happened at Myoboku Mountain.
But on the other hand, it also proves that the country of ghosts has the power to destroy the armed forces of a big country.
The thought of completely breaking up with such a terrible country gave Tsunade a headache.
It's a pity that her qualifications as the Hokage are still relatively low, and she is a low-key person. Even if she doesn't say her name, she can't completely control even the village of Konoha.
Although she had a premonition that the attack on the Ghost Country would be extremely tortuous, she did not expect it to be so tortuous.
And Konoha is in such a mess now...
Sarutobi-sensei, you really gave me a difficult problem. Tsunade shook her head helplessly.
For a moment, I thought about quitting my job and traveling around the world again, regardless of the disputes in the ninja world... But, can I really let go of everything here?
With the last blood of her grandfather, the First Hokage, flowing through her, there were some things that she couldn't just give up on.
Some things, as long as they are connected by 'blood', seem to have to fulfill a certain sacred purpose.
This is a territory that our ancestors fought hard and fought for with their blood. Even if we fight to the last drop of blood, we must fight to the end.
"I understand, that's it."
Jiraiya's face finally regained some composure, but in the eyes of others, it was just trying to stay calm.
Tsunade didn't point out anything, but returned her attention to the information and photos on the table.
The follow-up matters of Myobokuyama do need to be dealt with, but the most important thing right now is to uncover the mole in the medical department.
She would feel uneasy unless she found out the traitor.
"These four photos are..."
Jiraiya also paid attention and found that Tsunade was staring at the four photos on the table and asked.
"After investigation by the ANBU, the four people in the photo are most suspected of having packaged Konoha's medical supplies and sending substandard medicines to the front line... But it will take time to identify the specific individuals."
Tsunade sighed while tapping her head with her fingers.
Jiraiya also took a closer look at the four people in the photo, and his face was slightly shocked.
Not why, but because the four people in the photo are high-level personnel of Konoha Hospital and even the medical department.
In the entire medical department, these four people have a pivotal position.
As long as one of them is moved, it may cause an earthquake in the medical department, and now there are four people...
Jiraiya frowned, obviously aware of the difficulty of this matter.
If it were an ordinary person, just send the ANBU to bring them back for review, but these four people can't...at their level, the ANBU basically does not have the power to 'hijack' them, they must be designated with evidence, not suspicion, maybe like this
They were judged guilty of treason by using the word "Mohu"...
"sure?"
Jiraiya asked with a serious expression.
This is not Tsunade's problem alone. If necessary, he, the Sannin, will also be dispatched to subdue these four people.
Tsunade nodded.
Four photos, each photo corresponds to a person, two men and two women.
One of the two women is Tsunade's right-hand man - Shizune.
As the newly appointed director of the pharmacy department for almost a year, the power of this department in Konoha Hospital is beyond imagination.
She has the authority to purchase, distribute and supply all medicines in Konoha.
In other words, the medicines sent to the front line must first be reviewed by her and confirmed to have no problems before they can be sent to the front line.
Logically speaking, if there is a quality problem with a drug, Shizune is the most likely suspect.
Because she is the only one who has the easiest access to the medicine and has enough time to switch the package... But what is the motive?
If Shizune is really a spy from the Kingdom of Ghosts, and she has been following him for all these years without any problems, it would be too much nonsense.
And under her nose, the Demon Country has no chance to contact Shizune.
Therefore, from Tsunade's point of view, Shizune, the most suspicious person, is actually the least likely one.
However, a dereliction of duty is inevitable.
When such a big thing happens, someone always needs to take responsibility.
Currently, Shizune is being invited to ANBU to reflect on herself. To a certain extent, this is also protecting Shizune.
As for the second person, it is Asami Masumi.
The deputy director of Konoha Hospital and the former director of the hospital's pharmacy department. In this department, the other party has been running it for more than ten years, and his influence is deeply rooted in this department.
Although the person has been transferred from the pharmacy department, there must still be the other party's informants in this department.
But before there were problems with the quality of the medicines, she just turned a blind eye and did not interfere too much.
After all, the other party was one of the first people to surrender after she returned to Konoha. Now he is still in charge of several major research projects at Konoha Hospital. He has a high position of authority. Even the Hokage cannot say that he will investigate immediately.
Arresting the other party without evidence would cause a huge backlash in the medical department and even hurt her, the Hokage.
A man who defeated all opponents of his own age and even older, stood firm in Konoha Hospital for more than ten years, and firmly held the position of director of the pharmacy department. How could his power in the medical department be simple?
Apart from these two, the remaining two men are also senior managers of the medical department. They have extremely high seniority and status and cannot be moved lightly without sufficient evidence.
Jiraiya held the four photos and touched his chin with his other hand, seeming to be thinking about who among the four would be the biggest mole.
To be continued...
