Aoba lowered his head and hid his expression, making himself look as if he was very tired.
In addition, the fact that his health was not good was not a secret in the Yamanaka clan, and many clansmen had heard of it and did not care too much about him.
So troublesome!
Aoba sighed in his heart. His eyes quietly glanced at the corpse in the group next to him.
Judging from his appearance.
Aoba immediately determined this person's identity.
His name was Ikuto.
He was a relatively peripheral member among the remnants of the old era and not a core person.
Ikuto had a good relationship with Takashi in the remnants.
Perhaps because of this reason, Ikuto knew something when Takashi was looking for Aoba.
Aoba lowered his head, his brain spinning rapidly as he thought about this unexpected matter.
According to the memories of Tetsu and Koshiro, they did not know what Takashi had done, and they did not even notice that Takashi had gone missing.
Obviously, the matter of Takashi coming to look for Aoba was very hidden.
It was a personal behavior.
Then...
Ikuto should be the only existence who knew some information!
Aoba quickly made a judgment. Takashi had no friends from the memories of the remnants, and only Ikuto was a little closer to him.
He had to find a way to read Ikuto's memories.
Aoba took a deep breath and wanted to find out what Ikuto knew.
It was best if he didn't know so clearly!
Otherwise...
He could only try his best to destroy all existences that might point at him.
After all, this time was different.
The person who had gathered all of Yamanaka's Sensory Ninjas here was Danzo.
With Danzo's character, he would rather kill wrongly than let it go.
As long as Aoba's name appeared on Danzo's suspected list, then there would definitely be no good days!
"I have to find an opportunity!"
Aoba silently made up his mind in his heart. He planned to use some method to get close to Ikuto's corpse without being suspected. He must not wait for the other group to exchange corpses; it would be too passive.
...
Just as Danzo gathered these Sensory Ninjas of Yamanaka's clan to investigate clues through the Mind-Reading Secret Technique, the discussions of Konohagakure's people had reached a crazy level.
In just one day, all kinds of incredible things came out.
This made the conversation in the village more lively, and various rumors were flying in the sky.
"Have you heard? Yesterday, Third Hokage was assassinated by a lot of rebellious ninjas hiding in the village. He almost died!"
"Who said that? It was clearly the wise and powerful Third Hokage-sama who killed hundreds of rebels by himself!"
"Last night, there was a flood at the village gate. It is said that it was the water ninjutsu of a certain mysterious ninja. I just don't know the identity of that mysterious ninja!"
"Are you kidding? How can there be such a powerful water user ninja in the village? I'm afraid it is not a night attack by a foreign ninja?"
"The only person in the village who can cause that kind of water ninjutsu is the Second Hokage!"
"It seems that many people died last night!"
"..."
This similar dialogue happened everywhere in the village. Almost everyone was talking about the changes that occurred that night.
The ordinary people in the village were discussing, and the higher-ups were not so comfortable.
At this moment.
In the Hokage office, Third Hokage Hiruzen, who was wearing a Hokage robe, held an emergency meeting. The higher-ups of the village and the important figures of the major clans were all present.
"I will tell you what happened last night. There have always been voices in the village against me being the Hokage,
I just didn't care about it, and I didn't expect it to end up like this. I am responsible for this matter."
No one dared to answer.
The meeting room was silent.
The Third Hokage was assassinated. This was definitely not a small matter!
If this matter was investigated, then no one would be able to escape responsibility. Moreover, there were people from the Nara Clan.
"However..."
After Third Hokage finished speaking, he suddenly changed the topic and glanced at everyone sitting in the conference room.
"Through this assassination opportunity, many previous doubts have been solved. The missing people case that happened in the village not long ago was done by these people who wanted to drag me down from the position of the Hokage. They wanted to use this matter to slander my image and shake the hearts of the villagers." The Third Hokage said in a low voice.
"?"
In the crowd, Akaru's head was full of question marks.
Something was wrong!
He had specially looked for Third Hokage yesterday.
At that time, he had made it very clear that the missing people case was done by Danzo.
Only...
At that time, Third Hokage did not give a clear response, only indicating that he understood.
Akaru never thought that how did the missing people case become done by those people in just one day?
The key point was...
Who were those people?
Akaru had never seen those people from the remnants of the old era.
For a moment, A thought emerged in his mind.
This was a dumping behavior.
And the real murderer, Danzo, was not brought to justice.
As a proud Uchiha, the more Akaru thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. When he thought about how Tesaki, who had sent him a message, died in the hands of Danzo. He felt even more uncomfortable.
"Third Hokage-sama!"
Akaru suddenly shouted, instantly attracting the attention of everyone in the conference room to him.
"Did those people really do the missing people case?"
Akaru wanted to say Danzo's name directly, but when the words came to his mouth, he hesitated for a moment. The original confrontation turned into a question.
"That's right!"
Without waiting for Third Hokage to reply, Danzo spoke, saying something extremely resolute.
"We have already found the cause of the whole thing, that was Nara Tetsu. The missing people case was all done by him. The facts are clear; the evidence is conclusive!" Danzo said.
"Evidence? Where is it?" Akaru widened his eyes and looked at Danzo with anger that could not be hidden.
"Are you questioning me?" Danzo asked coldly.
"That's right!" Akaru was a little intoxicated.
"Enough!"
At this time, the two consultants beside Third Hokage exclaimed in unison.
These two people were in the same period as Third Hokage and Danzo, Homura and Koharu.
"We believe in the judgment of Hiruzen and Danzo!" Homura pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said in a very rational, neutral, and objective tone.
"Tetsu has been plotting a rebellion, which is why he did such a thing. Now that the matter has come to a conclusion don't casually doubt his own people." Koharu directly threw all the pots to Tetsu.
After hearing the words of the two consultants, Akaru did not say anything, and he just looked at Homura coldly then stayed silent.
Akaru turned away his gaze and finally stared deeply at Danzo, hiding everything he wanted to say in his eyes.
Just as Akaru was staring at Danzo.
Danzo slowly raised his left eye, which was exposed outside, and looked at Akaru. There was a hint of viciousness in his eyes.
