After Akaru and Danzo asked the same question, both of them fell silent.
There was a problem!
There was a problem here!
This Kumogakure Ninjas...
Which side were they?
Just as the two of them were puzzled, Hari rolled his eyes and decisively patted Doroi on the shoulder.
"Retreat!"
After Hari finished speaking, he instantly turned around and ran in the direction of the gap in Konohagakure's barrier that they had broken.
"Yes!"
Doroi also realized his slip of the tongue just now, but he really couldn't help it.
If he was given another chance.
He would still do this.
It was suffocating!
It finally broke the damn deadlock!
In a split second.
Kumogakure's ninjas quickly moved in the direction of the Konohagakure barrier.
"Where are you running to?"
Akaru shouted loudly. He wanted to chase after them, but he was afraid of Danzo who was beside him.
"Danzo-sama, did you come here to send of the Kumogakure ninjas?"
Akaru's blood-red eyes flashed with a cold light. Although Danzo had said the same thing to him just now, which made him feel that there seemed to be something hidden. But even so, even if Danzo was deceived by someone, it could only mean that Danzo was wronged in this matter. There was no way to quibble about the past!
"Hmph!"
"These Kumogakure Ninjas are not worthy for me to personally send them away!"
"On the contrary, it's you, the clown of the Uchiha Clan!"
"Could it be that you were deceived and didn't even notice!"
Danzo snorted coldly. His mind was far clearer than Akaru's. After saying the same words to Akaru, what he thought of was not the Uchiha clan working together with Kumogakure to trick him to pursue them. In the end, they attacked him together.
He knew that was not the case.
He had seen through everything from Akaru's expression.
It was only at that moment.
He understood that all of this was a trap set up by Yuta. It was just that the trap itself was different from what he had expected earlier. He had originally thought that Yuta had joined forces with the Uchiha Clan to attack him. Now, it seemed that Yuta wanted to plot both him and the Uchiha Clan to suffer.
Why was this?
What role did the Uchiha Clan play in this?
Could it be that the defeat of the remnants of the old era had something to do with the Uchiha Clan?
Danzo's brain quickly thought of something. He stood there, unmoving like a mountain, quietly looking at Uchiha's clansmen.
The Root Ninjas around him also did not move and just take a defensive stance.
Rather than waiting for the Uchiha clan to take the initiative to attack.
It was better to say that he was already standing on the side of the spectators.
At this time.
Danzo no longer planned to act in any way.
The Uchiha clan in front of him had many people, so it was impossible for him to catch all the people of the Uchiha clan in this forest.
Or don't do it.
If he attacked, he must be sure to destroy the enemy!
At present, there was no chance to completely destroy the enemy, so there was no need to make a move to put himself in an awkward situation.
"Shimura Danzo, if you are sure that you are not with Kumogakure Ninja, then please leave this place immediately. We, Konoha Military Police Force, are going to pursue the invading Kumogakure Ninja!" Akaru said in a low voice. He really could not understand Danzo's current operation. It looked like he was just wandering outside, but he was in it. If he kept staring at the Kumogakure Ninja who was fleeing, it would be difficult to chase after them. But if he was not careful, he might be stabbed in the back by Danzo.
When Danzo heard Akaru's words, his exposed eyes looked deeply at Akaru.
He originally wanted to say, "What does it have to do with you whether I leave or not!"
However, he still had a general view of the situation.
If he continued to be in a deadlock with Akaru, not only would he not get any benefits, he would even let Kumogakure ninjas leave.
On the other hand, if he left.
This matter had nothing to do with him, and it could also make the people of the Uchiha clan and Kumogakure ninja fight to the death.
Danzo was not a person who competed with others.
As long as there were benefits.
He would do it!
"Let's go!"
Danzo took a deep look at Akaru, then slowly opened his mouth and took the lead to leave.
Danzo turned around, his back facing the Uchiha clan, but the Root Ninjas around him all adopted a protective posture, not showing any signs of relaxing their vigilance.
Just like that, under the gaze of the Uchiha Clan members.
Danzo slowly withdrew from this area.
Akaru had been staring at Danzo the entire time, and there was a trace of unwillingness in his eyes.
"I really want to slaughter that old fellow here!"
Akaru resisted the urge to attack Danzo. He watched helplessly as Danzo left the forest. He knew that he had missed a chance to topple Danzo.
However.
At this time.
Akaru understood.
Right now, this was not a good opportunity to topple Danzo.
After all...
He could already tell that this matter had nothing to do with Danzo.
As a proud member of the Uchiha clan.
He was not willing to use schemes and plots to frame Danzo, and then take him down. He was more willing to use his own ability to grab hold of Danzo's weakness, and then personally send Danzo to prison.
Although Akaru was very unwilling in his heart, he still let Danzo go.
"Chase!"
Akaru immediately shouted, and then took the lead to chase in the direction that Kumogakure's ninja left.
"Yes!"
Konoha Military Police Force's members all responded, and one by one, they chased after him.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
In an instant.
The forest was filled with the sound of silhouette shuttling back and forth.
Konoha Military Police Force's group quickly chased after the fleeing Kumogakure ninja.
As Konoha Military Police Force who was in charge of Konohagakure's security. They could not allow Kumogakure ninjas to leave in front of them.
...
Aoba stood on the branch.
He quietly watched as the farce he had planned ended.
"Mm..."
Aoba's eyes flashed with thoughts.
"Although we didn't let the Uchiha Clan fight with Danzo, the news of Kumogakure's Ninja's arrival was successfully spread."
"This time, the matter of Kumogakure's Ninja kidnapping Kushina must have been exposed."
"In this period of time, if Kumogakure's Ninja wants to invade Konohagakure again. I'm afraid it won't be so easy."
"That's enough!"
Aoba nodded slowly. He did not complete the additional things he thought in his mind, but he completed what he wanted to convey at the beginning.
That was to spread the news of Kumogakure's ninja invasion.
From the current situation.
Kumogakure no longer had a chance to take Kushina away.
For at least one or two years, Kumogakure would make a new plan.
This period of time could be said to provide Minato with a period of rapid development, allowing his strength to advance by leaps and bounds above Jonin Ninja.
If Kumogakure wanted to have any ideas about Kushina in the future, they would have to wait until later.
But it would already be too late.
No one could take Kushina away under Minato's protection.
Gradually.
As the footsteps faded away.
Aoba removed Kami no Shisha no Jutsu(Paper Person of God Technique) and took away Kenji's corpse.
This corpse.
He originally wanted to leave it to the Uchiha clan.
Now it seemed like there was no need.
If there is no suitable opportunity to throw the Kenji who was killed in the same way to the Uchiha clan, so as to blame others, hen it was better to dispose of the corpse to avoid burning himself.
Swish!
Aoba immediately ran in the opposite direction at an extremely fast speed.
He applied Chōkeijūgan no Jutsu(Ultralight-Weight Rock Technique) on his body, which made his body as light as feather, completely capable of flying in the air, but he did not do it in the woods. After all, his legs could make his body bounce faster.
A while later.
Aoba arrived at the place where Yuta was buried.
When he left at that time.
The grass that was casually grabbed on it had already grown, and it could be seen that it was growing very healthily.
"Yuta-san, I have come to see you. This time, I will bring you a sacrifice. He will accompany you to chat so that you won't be lonely."
Aoba stood at Yuta's grave and threw Kenji's corpse aside. He quickly made a series of hand seals and then slapped his palm on the ground.
Hum!
The earth chakra flowed through his chakra pathway and into his palm, causing the ground here to shake.
Rumble...
The ground suddenly split open, revealing a crack that was just the size of a person.
After that.
Aoba laid Kenji's body flat on the ground.
"I haven't had the time to examine your body properly!"
Aoba began to touch Kenji's body.
He immediately found a ninja bag.
In addition to the kunai, shuriken, and other ninja tools, there was also a bulging purse.
It was filled with coins.
"The Uchiha clan is really rich!"
Aoba knew that the money in this money bag was only a small part of Kenji's wealth. It was just pocket money that he carried with him.
But...
Just this amount of pocket money.
It was the most profit that Aoba had ever received.
"Not bad!"
Aoba nodded in satisfaction. Then, he checked Kenji's corpse again. After confirming that there was nothing valuable, he directly threw the latter's corpse into the pit.
This time.
Aoba didn't choose to use the Fire Release Ninjutsu to roast it. Instead, he took out a bottle of Corpse Dissolving Water.
This was the bottle of Corpse Dissolving Water that he had obtained from Tatsuma.
There was still some leftover.
It just so happened to be of use.
This was something that Aoba had specially brought with him after he had changed his clothes in the dormitory.
From the moment Kenji found him at the door of his dormitory room, it was destined that Kenji would no longer be able to continue living.
...
Aoba dropped a drop of Corpse Dissolving Water on Kenji's body.
Sizzle...
White smoke came out of Kenji's body. This white smoke had a strong smell of corrosion.
In the blink of an eye.
Kenji's body, along with his clothes, turned into a black and gray liquid, which slowly seeped into the ground.
Tap!
Aoba's palm slapped the ground again, causing the ground that had been split open by the earth release to restore again.
The entire process did not take much time.
Just like that.
Kenji who was comparable to Fugaku in the younger generation of the Uchiha clan.
Under such a special situation.
He disappears into the world.
"I'll give you a few stalks of grass too!"
Aoba thought about it and felt that he had to have a beginning and an end in his work. After all, Kenji was the noble Uchiha. Everyone else had grass, but he didn't. It was too shabby.
Aoba walked over to the grass in the distance.
He grabbed a few stalks of grass.
Then, he returned to the place where Kenji and Corpse Dissolving Water had been.
Then, he buried the grass on the ground.
After that, he no longer paid any attention to it.
How tall the grass on the grave could grow depends on your own fortune.
Soon after.
Aoba's figure flashed, and he quickly left.
The burial ground in the woods has regained its tranquility.
It was as if no one had ever come.
...
Aoba directly returned to the Anbu's dormitory. The dark corridor was quiet. His colleagues had long fallen asleep.
Konohagakure Intelligence Division's work was dull and boring, and it was even more exhausting. Basically, everyone was tired and fell asleep, and there were very few people who could not sleep due to their nerves.
That night.
Aoba slept very well.
He did not feel any pressure at all.
The vast majority of Konohagakure residents also slept very well.
Only a small portion of them was immersed in the case of dead people, feeling fear in their hearts, unable to fall asleep.
However.
This night was a special sleepless night for Uchiha and Danzo.
The next day.
Aoba woke up early in the morning.
He did not go to the small forest to set up his shadow clone.
Now, because of Kumogakure's matter, Konohagakure was bound to strengthen its defenses. They would investigate all the forests in the village to find if there were any intruders.
It was obviously unwise to set up a shadow clone at this time.
Aoba was very open-minded about training matters.
He had a lot of time.
He was not in a hurry to reach a certain level of strength before a certain time.
In addition, he had a cheating device like Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Multiple Shadow Clone Technique).
As long as he trains well in the time he can train, it was enough
Under special circumstances.
If he rashly went out and train, it might bring him trouble.
Then he wouldn't mind becoming a Salted Fish for a period of time.
Aoba walked out of the Anbu's dormitory early and headed towards Konohagakure's central area. He wanted to go to the shop to buy some things.
Not long after.
Aoba arrived at a store.
This was Konohagakure's famous general store, and he could buy almost any strange things.
"Boss, I want a can that can hold water," Aoba said after entering the door.
"Okay!"
After hearing Aoba's request, the owner of the general store immediately looked inside the counter.
"Do you want a metal container or a container made from glass?" The owner asked.
"A glass container," Aoba said after thinking for a while. After all, the glass container was transparent, and to a certain extent, it was very convenient.
"Okay!"
The owner took out a glass container the size of a can from behind the counter. The top and bottom of the glass jar were wooden lids with rubber pistons around them, which could completely seal the container.
"Little brother, do you think this is okay?" The owner asked.
"Sure."
Aoba immediately nodded.
He took the container the owner handed over.
Then he bought a few more seasonings.
Finally, he paid the money and left.
When he left, he put the container away and quickly headed into the forest.
Not long after.
Aoba came to the place where Kenji was buried.
"You didn't expect it, did it? I came back to see you so quickly."
Aoba smiled at the grave grass, then opened the container, and used a bit of water released ninjutsu to fill the container with water.
Then he took out the salt, put it a little, and put his finger into the container, stirring it back and forth.
Hum!
A faint green chakra appeared on Aoba's finger. Under the stirring of his finger which contained chakra, the water in the container began to turn dark green.
"It's about time."
Aoba looked at the color of the water in the container. This was the medical theory he obtained from Tsunade's memory to temporarily preserve the body organs.
This was not a very good method.
However, it was an emergency method after encountering an unexpected situation on the battlefield.
Just as he finished mixing the liquid in the container.
He flipped his wrist.
A pair of blood-red eyeballs appeared on his palm.
It was precisely Kenji's three tomoe Sharingan.
Aoba didn't have any intention of taking off his own eyes and replacing them with Sharingan. He didn't even think about it.
No matter how good the eyes of others were, they couldn't compare to his own!
Moreover, Aoba felt that it was very disgusting and strange.
The reason why he had preserved this pair of three tomoe Sharingan was that he felt that he might have a chance to use it in the future.
After that.
Aoba put this pair of three tomoe Sharingan inside the container, and closed the lid with the rubber pistons, making the bottle in a sealed state.
After doing all of this.
Aoba raised his hand and stretched towards the tree trunk in front of him, and his fingertips emitted sharp chakra energy.
This was Chakura no Mesu(Chakra Scalpel).
Aoba controlled Chakura no Mesu(Chakra Scalpel) with his right hand and directly cut off the bark of the big tree, digging a hole in it.
He stuffed the jar with Kenji's Sharingan into the hole of the big tree.
Then he covered the tree trunk again, and the right hand with Chakura no Mesu(Chakra Scalpel) turned into Shōsen Jutsu(Mystical Palm Technique), and immediately attached the tree bark to the trunk again.
After all this was done.
Aoba clapped his hands and left in satisfaction, walking towards Konohagakure Intelligence Division.
He had a very strong feeling that this pair of Sharingan would definitely be of great use to him in the future.
But now, it was just a hot potato on his body.
He felt much more at ease when he threw it into the big tree.
...
When Aoba arrived at Konohagakure Intelligence Division, before he could go to the compartment that belonged to him, he saw many members of the Uchiha clan wearing Konoha Military Police Force's clothes.
The leader of the team.
It was Fugaku, whom Aoba knew.
"Are you sure that Kenji knocked on your door last night and asked about the location of Aoba's room?"
Fugaku stared at a ninja in Konohagakure Intelligence Division and asked in a cold voice. His tightly knitted eyebrows were almost intertwined.
