"You look so good in this dress!"
Eaton looked at Aoba up and down. When he came back overnight last night, he went to Konoha Hospital and asked Yamagata Ken for a medical ninja uniform. It was the clothes medical ninjas wore during surgery at Konoha Hospital.
Of course, this dress was not for Aoba to use for surgery. This dress was only for Aoba to cover up his identity!
After Aoba wore it, he looked like a medical ninja who came out of Konoha Hospital. If he wore a white mask, no one would be able to see his identity.
"Brother Eaton, let's go take a look. I still don't know Danzo-sama's specific situation." Aoba said to Eaton.
"Okay!"
Eaton nodded. After that, he took a deep breath and tried his best to calm himself down. He stared at the door, pushed it open, and walked out.
Aoba followed behind Eaton and the two walked toward the Hokage Building together.
Half an hour later.
Eaton brought Aoba to the Hokage Building. Along the way, not many eyes focused on Aoba.
The most important reason was that it was still early. Moreover, Aoba was wearing the clothes of a medical ninja from Konoha Hospital. During this period of time, there were too many medical ninjas coming and going in and out of the Hokage Building. The villagers had long been accustomed to them.
Eaton stood in front of the Hokage Building, and his eyes swept over the two ninja guards. His face suddenly became cold, and his imposing manner suddenly changed.
"I'm going to see Danzo-sama!"
Eaton said in a deep voice to the two guards standing at the entrance. His voice revealed a feeling of being in a high position for a long time. That kind of aura that was inadvertently revealed was not something ordinary people could withstand.
"Yes!"
The two guards immediately nodded and made way. They all knew Eaton and knew that the latter was Konohagakure Intelligence Division's big boss.
They did not dare to provoke him at all! After the two guards gave way, Eaton brought Aoba into the building.
When Aoba passed the entrance.
He looked at the two ninjas guarding the entrance through the eyes of the white mask. He could confirm that these two people were the two people who were knocked out by Fugaku's Sharingan that day.
The current Hokage building. It was not too unfamiliar to Aoba. He had never been to places above the second floor, but he had come to the ground floor quite often.
Aoba did not say a word. He just silently followed Eaton. They went up the stairs and went directly to the second floor of the Hokage Building.
This was a ring-shaped corridor. There were rooms on both sides of the corridor. Each room had a sign on it, indicating its function.
Some were staff offices.
Some were advisor offices.
The innermost room at the end of the corridor was the Hokage office, where the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen worked.
Eaton directly brought Aoba to the end of the corridor, but their target was not the Hokage office, but a room beside the Hokage office.
The room has no signage. From the outside, it was impossible to see the specific function of this room.
Eaton stopped at the door. He did not continue to move forward. He turned to look at Aoba and nodded at him. Then he raised his right hand and gently knocked on the door.
Knock knock knock...
After Eaton knocked on the door. The door of this room was slowly opened, revealing a face that looked like it had been through some hardships.
Aoba's gaze focused on the person who opened the door. He instantly recognized the person. This person was Konohagakure's Advisor, Mitokado Homura.
"So it's Eaton. Why are you here so early?"
When Homura saw Eaton, his eyes slightly relaxed. As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Aoba who was standing next to Eaton. There was no surprise in his eyes. It was obvious that he was not surprised that a medical ninja appear here.
Homura was obviously asking a question that he already knew the answer to. He had already seen Aoba, who was wearing medical ninja clothes beside Eaton. However, he pretended not to see it.
There was no other reason.
Just that...
He just wanted Eaton to take the initiative to say this!
"Advisor-sama, I brought a very good medical ninja here to see Danzo-sama's injuries," Eaton said to Homura in front of him.
"Very good medical ninja?" Homura frowned slightly and turned to look at Aoba. Just now, he just glanced at Aoba casually and did not take Aoba too seriously. After all, there were too many medical ninjas here recently. Even he could not bear to look at them. He looked at Aoba again and again and asked, "How good?"
"..."
At that time, Eaton was speechless and did not know how to answer. How good? Even he did not know Aoba's attainments in medical ninjutsu.
"What is your name?" Homura's eyes were still focused on Aoba, and then he said again in a commanding tone, "Take off your mask."
"Advisor-sama, he is a medical ninja I brought with me. He is very good. He promised to see Danzo-sama's situation, but the only condition is that he is not willing to reveal his name and appearance." Eaton said in a low voice. This was something he had discussed with Aoba, so when this situation occurred, he had to speak for Aoba. He could not let Aoba face this question alone.
"Oh? Do you still want to hide your identity and name? Eaton, are you sure he is reliable? If something happens to Danzo, you can't bear this responsibility!" Homura narrowed his eyes and stared at Eaton. His words could already be said to be a threat to Eaton. Moreover, he did not hide his suspicion of Aoba and it sounded a bit harsh.
"Advisor-sama..." Just as Eaton was about to explain again, he felt Aoba appear next to him. He gently patted his shoulder and planned his words.
"Let me explain."
Aoba's voice slowly sounded. His dark eyes focused on Homura through the holes in the mask.
Now his identity was hidden. There was no need to be polite at all. However, Eaton's identity was still clear. Aoba would more or less pay attention to it.
"Advisor-sama, according to the news that has been spreading widely in the village, Konohagakure's medical ninja has seen Danzo-sama's condition. If no one can treat Danzo-sama now, then Danzo-sama will have to lie in this room in the future!" Aoba said indifferently, almost not giving Homura any face.
"You..."
Homura stared at Aoba. Aoba was now wearing a mask, so he couldn't see his face at all, but it didn't stop him from expressing his anger toward Aoba.
"You can go back!"
Homura directly refused. His expression was very bad, and he directly waved to Eaton.
He was Konohagakure's Advisor. He was used to being pampered in Konohagakure.
No one usually dared to talk to him like this.
Even Hiruzen was polite when talking to him!
How could he accept this?
This person was actually so rude!
"Advisor-sama..." Eaton still wanted to fight for it. In fact, he was quite confident in Aoba. It was only because Aoba don't want to reveal his identity, otherwise, as long as he said that this person was Tsunade-sama's student, then he was sure that this Homura in front of him would very warmly invite Aoba in.
"Eaton, don't say anymore. I won't let an unknown medical ninja come to check on Danzo's situation. If there is an accident, you can't bear this responsibility, and I can't bear this responsibility!" Homura shook his head and said. He completely did not want to talk about this matter anymore, and he was already a little impatient.
"Advisor-sama, there is something you have to figure out first. That is, if we don't do anything, Danzo-sama will be in danger. And if we do something that might cause an accident, then this accident might be a good accident that saves Danzo-sama's life. Even if we really cause some mishap we lose nothing!" Aoba spoke again. In his heart, he had already determined that this was the last time he would speak. If Homura invited him in, then he would seriously help Danzo. However, if Homura still refused to let him in, then it could be said to be Danzo's fate.
"You..."
Homura narrowed his eyes through the lens of his glasses and fell on Aoba. He understood what Aoba meant.
There was no problem in saying this. The current Danzo was already crippled. If he did not receive timely and effective treatment, then he should be lying here in the future.
But...
He still could not easily let this unknown person come in.
"Sorry, I can't..."
Homura shook his head and said. Just as he was about to speak, footsteps came from behind him and interrupted him before he could finish.
"Let them in."
The person who spoke walked out of the room and entered Eaton and Aoba's line of sight. It was a purple-haired woman who looked to be around fifty years old. Her indifferent face had a stern look like that of a school director. It was the other Advisor, Utatane Koharu.
At this time, Koharu was wearing a burlap robe and looking very elegant. Her face was slightly pale. It could be seen that she did not have a good rest recently.
"Koharu, the identity of this person is unknown. We can't let him treat Danzo casually!" Homura frowned and said. However, his tone was still much weaker. It was already different when he was talking to Eaton and Aoba. After all, the person in front of him was Koharu who had the same identity as him. In addition, the latter was a woman. From the time they met until now, they had always been in a concession attitude.
"Let me decide!" Koharu said indifferently. Her gaze passed Homura and fell on the masked Aoba. She said, "I heard your conversation just now. I only have one question. After you answer me, I will decide whether I will let you treat Danzo."
"Brother Eaton, let's go."
The corners of Aoba's mouth slightly curled up behind the mask. Then he patted Eaton on the back, turned around, and walked directly on the way back.
"This..."
Eaton looked at Aoba's back and was stunned for a moment. He didn't know what to say.
"That..."
"Two Advisor-sama."
"Sorry for disturbing you!"
Eaton nodded at Homura and Koharu, then quickly followed Aoba. Actually, he was very clear about Aoba's thoughts. He had the same feeling just now.
They specially came here to treat Danzo-sama but were stopped at the door. Others did not know, but he was very clear. Aoba was Tsunade-sama's direct student.
Although Eaton did not know what level Aoba's medical ninjutsu had reached, he understood that if there was a medical ninja other than Tsunade-sama who could treat Danzo-sama's injuries, then it could only be Aoba.
However...
Eaton was very sympathetic to Aoba's feelings just now!
After all, Aoba was here to help!
He just didn't want to expose the fact that he was Tsunade-sama's student.
Now, under the questioning and cold eyes of these two advisors, he directly chose to leave. Perhaps, without his relationship with Danzo. He might also choose to leave on the spot!
After all, even a person without a temper would not be able to endure such anger!
"You..."
Koharu looked at the back of Aoba and Eaton as they left, and the doubts in her heart instantly became chaotic.
She just wanted to know why the masked man was wearing a mask.
Why hide his identity?
And...
Was there really a need for that?
They had already spread the word that any medical ninjas in the village could diagnose Danzo here. Even if there was no way to cure Danzo, they would not be punished.
This way, there was no need to hide his identity.
Then...
There was only one reason!
A thought flashed through Koharu's mind. She suddenly thought of the most likely reason. It was that this person really could cure Danzo. He just did not want to expose his identity as an expert.
"Wait!"
Koharu immediately shouted at Aoba. Her eyes were focused on Aoba's back, and she felt that what she was thinking just now was possible. Now she wanted to let Aoba try.
Only, this time, Aoba did not speak. He directly walked out.
Aoba's idea was very simple. He had just given Danzo a chance, but they did not cherish it. Now that the opportunity had been missed, he did not want to do it anymore.
"Aoba, Advisor-sama is calling for you!" Eaton followed behind Aoba and whispered to him.
"I didn't hear them," Aoba replied indifferently.
"Aoba, at least give me some face. It's cool to leave now, but it will be hard for me in the future!" Eaton said helplessly. He did not expect to act like this at all. He continued, "Since you chose to hide your identity, you should at least fight for some time with me!"
Suddenly, Aoba stopped in his tracks. He turned to look at Eaton.
"Alright."
Aoba could hear the sincerity in Eaton's voice. Now, Eaton was no longer speaking for the sake of Danzo, but for his own matters.
After all, Aoba could just pat his butt and leave, but Eaton could not. Eaton did not hide his identity at all.
'Consider it for Eaton!'
Aoba muttered silently in his heart. He had used up all the opportunities he had given Danzo just now, but now he was giving Eaton a chance.
"Leave it to me this time!"
Eaton raised his hand to pat Aoba on the shoulder. When his hand was raised in the air, he immediately retracted it.
Now, he already knew that Aoba's body was not as weak at all.
But...
He was already used to this action. It was completely out of habit. Moreover, Eaton was really afraid of Aoba.
He was afraid that after he hit Aoba, Aoba would immediately fall to the ground. This was really possible!
Eaton turned around and walked toward Homura and Koharu.
Aoba stood still.
Right now, he was here to treat Danzo after he came to a conclusion after weighing the pros and cons. Also, treating Dano was not the only thing he had to do here.
"Advisor-sama!"
Eaton quickly ran to the front of Homura and Koharu. With a smile on his face, he bowed deeply to the two of them, showing great respect.
"Eaton, what's the situation? Where did you find this medical ninja? Why does he have to wear a mask? Is he reliable?" Koharu frowned and asked in a low voice. She did not dare to speak loudly now, for fear that Aoba would hear it and stop helping them to treat Danzo.
"Very reliable!"
Eaton first nodded and confirmed Aoba's ability. Although he had never seen how Aoba used medical ninjutsu, he just thought that Aoba was very reliable.
"He is a student of a well-known medical ninja. I persuaded him for a long time before he was willing to come out to treat Danzo-sama. However, his only requirement is to wear a mask and not let people know his identity." Eaton explained to Koharu.
"Why?" Homura said in confusion, "If he has the ability to treat Danzo, he will become Konohagakure's great hero and enjoy the worship of countless people. Isn't that good?"
"What do you know? Some people just like to keep a low profile and don't want others to know their identity easily." Koharu rolled her eyes at Homura in a bad mood. Then, she looked at Eaton and said, "Eaton, invite him over and let him see Danzo. Why do I feel that he might really help Danzo?"
"You actually believe him?" Homura stared at Koharu in confusion and added, "You have to know that he is a person who doesn't even want to reveal his identity!"
"Why don't you believe me?" Koharu stared at Homura and said, "It's been so many years, but your brain is still so stubborn. We don't know his identity. Will Eaton bring him here if he doesn't know his identity? Will Eaton joke about his future and Danzo's life? Why don't you think of this!"
"This..." When Homura heard Koharu's words, he was stunned. He suddenly felt that it was very reasonable and did not know how to refute it.
"The most important thing is..."
Koharu looked at Aoba who was standing there with a serious expression. She took a deep breath and said slowly, "I saw Orochimaru on him."
"???"
As soon as Koharu said this, not only Homura who was standing beside her, but even Eaton also had a lot of question marks popping up in his head.
The two of them couldn't figure it out.
What similarities between Aoba and Orochimaru?
I didn't see it at all!
"I mean feeling!"
Koharu helplessly explained. She rolled her eyes at Homura and Eaton. She was extremely dissatisfied with the reactions of the two people.
"It's the kind of feeling that can't be seen through!"
"Orochimaru felt the same when he came yesterday!"
"I don't know what kind of chips he has!"
Koharu said seriously. Even she was not sure why. After she asked Aoba, she was shocked to see that Aoba left without looking back.
"???"
When Homura and Eaton heard what Koharu said, a lot of question marks appeared on their heads again. They felt that there was something wrong with Koharu's thoughts.
"This person is much more powerful than Orochimaru," Homura said snappily.
"Oh? What do you mean?" Koharu asked curiously.
"Orochimaru, we at least know his name and appearance. What do you know about this person?" Homura said in a strange tone.
"Shut up!" Koharu immediately felt that Homura was mocking her. She immediately shouted. Her voice was very loud and echoed in the corridor.
However, Eaton immediately reacted.
"I'll call him over right now!" He hurriedly nodded at Koharu and Homura.
After that, Eaton quickly walked toward Aoba. He walked until he was in front of Aoba and a smile appeared on his face.
"It worked!"
Eaton said excitedly. There were many things that made him happy.
First, he could see the extent of Aoba's medical ninjutsu. After all, when he secretly practiced medical ninjutsu in Konohagakure Intelligence Division, he knew about it. Moreover, he also used his own connections to help Aoba conceal it.
Second, he brought a medical ninja to see Danzo's situation. No matter what, Danzo had helped him. He still didn't want Danzo to have any problems.
Thirdly, he had successfully reversed the two advisor's views. This gave him a strong sense of accomplishment.
"Alright."
Aoba raised his eyes and looked at Eaton. Just now, he felt that he had given the last chance to Eaton. The latter had also successfully seized this opportunity. Then, he had nothing to say. He nodded at Eaton.
"Follow me!" Eaton immediately brought Aoba back.
At this moment, Koharu and Homura, the two advisors, were still standing there. Now, both of their eyes were focused on Aoba, and they kept looking him up and down.
Through the information provided by Eaton. They knew that the person in front of them was a student of a well-known medical ninja.
This was the extremely simple information they had. After all, even the so-called well-known medical ninja. They did not know who that person was.
It could be said that...
It was not much different from not saying anything.
"Cough cough..."
At this moment, Koharu cleared her throat. She glared at Homura and held back the words that Homura was about to say.
Homura could only close his mouth.
"Come in with me."
Koharu gestured to Aoba, who was wearing a mask and walked into the room.
Aoba and Eaton followed behind Koharu.
Homura was the last person and close the door. However, there was still a hint of helplessness on his face. He stared cautiously at Aoba. He had always been skeptical about things like not knowing the name or identity.
"Danzo is over here."
Koharu pointed at the bed that had been set up in the room. There was an infusion needle inserted in the back of Danzo's hand.
"Let me see."
Aoba took a step forward and arrived in front of Danzo. When he arrived, he immediately saw Danzo staring at him.
However, Danzo's face was still covered in bandages. He refused to undo it no matter what.
"Danzo-sama, can you speak?" Aoba lowered his voice, making it sound low and rough. He had seen Danzo before, and he knew very well that if he did not deliberately change his voice, he would be recognized by the other party.
"Can—" Danzo's voice seemed to be quite weak as if saying a word could make him use up a lot of strength.
"I'll do a few small tests first. After I ask you, you just have to answer me 'yes' or 'no' and that's it." Aoba said in a low voice. He was now a medical ninja.
"Yes." Danzo's voice sounded particularly weak.
Suddenly, Aoba reached for his ninja pouch. He took out a handful of kunai from it.
Swish!
The moment the kunai appeared in Aoba's hand, Koharu and Homura instantly flashed to Aoba's side. The two of them reached out at the same time to grab Aoba's wrist.
However, Aoba gently moved his wrist. It seemed to be a very simple action. However, it cleverly avoided the hands of the two people who were grabbing at him.
"If I wanted to harm Danzo-sama, there are countless ways that you can't detect. Medical ninjas know how to save people, and they also know how to kill people. They are not so clumsy." Aoba's indifferent voice slowly sounded.
After Aoba said this.
Koharu and Homura looked at each other. They could see the seriousness in each other's eyes. In the end, they nodded to each other and chose to believe in Aoba, giving some space.
Aoba took the kunai, lifted the quilt covering Danzo, and gently stabbed Danzo's left foot.
The whole process wasn't too strenuous. It did not pierce Danzo's skin at all. He did not even bleed. It was a very simple touch.
"Can you feel it?" Aoba asked softly.
"No," Danzo replied. His voice was very tired, and there was a kind of helplessness.
Aoba nodded. He held the kunai and stabbed it at Danzo's thigh. The strength this time was similar to before. It did not cause any substantial damage to Danzo.
"Do you feel anything?" Aoba asked again.
"No." Danzo still gave a negative answer.
Seeing such a scene. Only then did Homura and Koharu understand.
This medical ninja in front of them did not take out kunai to do anything bad to Danzo, but to analyze the injuries that Danzo had suffered.
"Do you feel anything now?"
Aoba held the Kunai in his hand and stabbed it toward Danzo's waist. However, he could feel that Danzo's body did not even have the slightest reaction. It was like a mass of dead meat.
"No." Danzo still denied it.
"How about now?" Aoba held the kunai and stabbed it at the position below Danzo's neck.
"Yes." Danzo immediately replied.
"Okay."
Aoba nodded. He picked up the kunai again and stabbed at Danzo's arm.
"Do you feel anything?" Aoba asked.
"Yes." Danzo replied again.
"Okay."
Aoba nodded again and looked at Danzo's head. He placed the kunai on the bed, raised his right hand, and directly slapped Danzo's head.
"Do you feel anything?"
Aoba gently patted Danzo's head with his right hand. He didn't use any strength at all.
"Ding Dong! Memory Reading Succesful! Obtained: Tenso no Jutsu(Heavenly Transfer Technique)!"
Along with the crisp sound of the electronic prompt, very special ninjutsu appeared in Aoba's mind.
This was Kumogakure's space-time ninjutsu. It could teleport objects to a designated location. Of course, it could also teleport people.
However, if a human's physique did not reach the abnormal level, it was possible to be directly smashed into pieces.
"Sigh..."
Aoba frowned slightly. He felt that this technique had more or less overlapping functions to him.
This technique was a good technique! But he already had a better Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique)!
However, perhaps in the future, it might be useful under certain circumstances!
Following the electronic prompt, there were also some memories. These memories were all Danzo's memories. It had already been loaded into Aoba's brain and could be extracted and examined at any time.
"How is it?!"
Koharu immediately asked nervously. After hearing Aoba sigh, she had already felt that things might not be good.
During this period of time, many medical ninjas had come to see Danzo. In the end, they all left while shaking their heads and sighing.
Not only was Koharu staring at Aoba, but even Homura and Eaton were also staring at Aoba at the same time. Even Danzo, who was lying on the bed, raised his eyes and looked in the direction of Aoba.
"Danzo-sama was hit in the chest and squeezed many internal organs, causing the internal organs to be damaged. However, the injury that caused his current situation is the injury to his spine. If I'm not wrong, Danzo-sama injured his spine." Aoba said in a deep voice.
"Can it be treated?" Koharu immediately asked. This was the question that she was most concerned about. Other medical ninjas had given similar answers, but they had no ability to treat Danzo. Now, they placed all their hopes on Aoba. After all, the previous people had no other way.
"I need to check it myself!" Aoba said seriously. The more he looked at it now, the more he realized the benefits of Byakugan, which turned into X-rays.
"How... how do you check?" Koharu was stunned at that moment. She didn't understand what Aoba meant.
"I want to see the injury on Danzo-sama's spine, and then make a judgment and finally treat it," Aoba said with a serious face.
"You... this..." Koharu had a bad feeling in her heart, but she did not want to stop Aoba, because she had another feeling in her heart that Aoba might treat Danzo.
"Do you have anesthetics?" Aoba asked Koharu.
"This...here...no..." Koharu was stunned. After hearing about the anesthetic, she was a little dumbfounded.
"That's it then."
Aoba retracted his hand and stood up straight. He looked at Koharu and then at Homura.
"This is all for today's examination. I have more or less understood the preliminary situation. Now I will go back and prepare. Tomorrow, I will take the things I need and come directly for the operation." Aoba immediately said. The examination he just said was actually just an excuse because he already knew what Danzo's injury was before he come.
"The operation will be carried out tomorrow?!" Koharu felt that all of this had come too suddenly, and her heart was still not prepared. She could not help but ask, "How confident are you?"
"90%," Aoba said indifferently, his words filled with confidence.
"This..."
Koharu swallowed hard. She stared at Aoba, increasingly feeling that this person was not simple. He was actually able to give such a high success rate.
You have to know...
After the other medical ninjas had seen Danzo's injuries, they were all helpless at that moment!
"Now I have to go back and prepare the things I need for tomorrow's operation. Tomorrow at this time, I will go with Brother Eaton!"
After Aoba finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to the thoughts of these two advisors. He directly turned around and walked toward the door, leaving the two of them with a cool back view.
