After a while, Koharu slowly stepped back to make way. At this time, she already knew that she had no other way. Even if Danzo were cured but died from the poison, the price would be too great. She could not bear this kind of price. Even though she was helpless in her heart. But she still had to give way.
Koharu retreated until her back was against the wall of the room. She raised her hands, indicating that she had no intention of attacking Aoba anymore.
Aoba nodded. He knew that Koharu would not make a move again, but he still stared at Koharu with a cautious look to show that he did not feel so confident.
Aoba took a step forward. Step by step, he walked toward the door. His eyes were fixed on Koharu. When Aoba walked to the door, he immediately opened the door, stepped out, and appeared beside Eaton.
"Did it succeed?"
Eaton had been paying attention to the movements in the room. When he heard that the door was opened, his eyes immediately widened. His eyes were full of questions, wanting to hear Aoba's explanation at the first moment.
Only...
He did not receive an answer.
"Brother Eaton, come with me."
Aoba directly pulled Eaton's arm and walked out. He deliberately pretended to be in a hurry, showing a nervous state, which directly made Eaton nervous.
"Ah?"
After Eaton was dragged a few steps away by Aoba, he was still in a state of confusion. After a while, only then did he recover.
"Ao..."
"That..."
"I want to report this to Sandaime-sama!"
Eaton said to Aoba. He almost shouted out Aoba's name. Fortunately, he quickly took it back, which did not lead to the exposure of the matter.
"You will have time to report later," Aoba said in an unquestionable tone. Just as he said this, Eaton had an illusion. It was as if Aoba was the Captain of the Konohagakure Intelligence Division, and he was just a small subordinate.
"Eh..."
Eaton was stunned for a moment. Then, he allowed Aoba to pull him. Without asking another question, he directly followed Aoba out.
Soon, the two of them left the building. At this time, it was already dark outside.
Unknowingly.
After Aoba completed the operation, it was almost midnight. There were no pedestrians outside now.
However, as the two of them walked toward Eaton's residence, they could still feel shadows running around. Those black shadows were all Anbu. They were responsible for keeping an eye on the two of them.
When Eaton feels this situation, he immediately becomes furious. An extremely unpleasant feeling spread in his heart.
After all, in his opinion. They had made a great contribution to the village. He had led such an excellent medical ninja like Aoba to treat Danzo, who was seriously injured. Not only did they not receive any superior treatment, but they were also monitored like a criminal.
This feeling made him extremely unhappy. Just as he was about to shout at these people, Aoba tugged at his shoulder.
"Brother Eaton, don't say anything. Let's return to your house." Aoba said in a low voice. His footsteps became faster. Although he was not flustered and had already calculated all of this, he still had to avoid any possible accidents. He wanted to end things as quickly as possible.
"..."
Eaton wanted to respond, but when he heard that Aoba had just said nothing, he immediately closed his mouth.
It seemed that Aoba had encountered something. Thinking of this, Eaton couldn't help but quicken his pace. He didn't say anything else and just followed Aoba directly to his home.
After a while, the two of them arrived at the entrance of Eaton's residence.
Eaton immediately took out his key and opened the door. Then, he took the lead and walked in. Aoba followed closely behind him. After entering, he directly closed the door.
"Brother Eaton, do you want to explain now? I'll tell you the result first; then you can go and find Sandaime-sama!" Aoba leaned against the door and was sure that no one heard him.
"What is it?"
At this time, Eaton was still confused and did not know what was going on. He was dizzy and did not understand what Aoba was talking about.
"Tell Sandaime-sama and the two Advisor-sama that I have already cured Danzo-sama's injuries. If there are no accidents, Danzo-sama will wake up tomorrow. When the time comes, tell him not to move. He can start the rehabilitation in about half a month and can walk independently in less than half a year after the rehab. This requires a process." Aoba said in a deep voice. The first thing he said was about the medical part. After all, when he went to treat Danzo, he used the identity of a medical ninja.
"You really did it!"
After hearing what Aoba said, Eaton suddenly widened his eyes, full of excitement, and his heart was extremely excited.
You should know...
At least in the eyes of the Third Hokage, the two Advisor, and Danzo. He was the recommender of this medical ninja. In addition, Aoba did not expose his identity at all. In that case, he was the only one the higher-ups could thank.
He became...
The great hero of Konohagakure!
Thinking of this, Eaton suddenly became excited. He clearly foresaw his future smooth road to promotion.
"This is only a part of it."
Aoba accurately caught the excitement in Eaton's eyes. This was also what he wanted. As long as he lets Eaton get the benefits. Then his days in Konohagakure Intelligence Division would get better and better.
Moreover, Eaton would even keep this secret for him.
"Tell Koharu-sama that there are no No. 18 medicinal herbs in the prescription. And it is not the antidote for Danzo-sama but the antidote for Sunagakure's regular poison. Just say it directly. As for Danzo-sama..." When Aoba said this, the corners of the mouth behind the mask curled up slightly, revealing a proud smile. He said, "He is not poison at all!"
"What do you mean?"
Eaton was confused. He heard Aoba's words just now, but he did not know what Aoba meant at all. His head was stunned, and he seemed to be in a dull state.
"It's not the time to explain things to you. Brother Eaton, go and report. When you come back, you won't be able to see me. I have already left. You don't need to care about how I left. Just pretend that you don't know about this. I will go to your office tomorrow and explain these things to you in detail." Aoba said to Eaton.
"Alright..."
Eaton nodded. He still believed Aoba in his heart. Although he was curious about what had happened, he was not in a hurry. On the contrary, reporting Danzo's matter being cured was the most important thing.
After Aoba said these words. He directly stepped aside from the door and motioned for Eaton to leave.
Eaton did not say anything more. He directly opened the door of his home, walked out, and closed the door. He did not look back in the direction of the door. He didn't even know what kind of way Aoba's so-called departure would be.
But he was very clear, Aoba needed him to find the Third Hokage now to attract the attention of the surrounding eyes.
Then he was willing to cooperate with this matter.
Eaton quickly walked in the Hokage Building direction. He was in a hurry. It looked as if he had grasped some confidential information.
At the same time.
After Eaton left, Aoba raised his hands. He quickly made a hand seal. It was the Shadow Clone Technique's hand seal.
"Kage Bunshin no Jutsu(Shadow Clone Technique)!"
Three people who looked exactly like Aoba appeared in front of him. The three were dressed in medical ninja clothes and had white masks on their faces.
"You are No. 1."
"You are No. 2."
"You are No. 3."
Aoba swept his gaze over the three shadow clones and numbered them. Then, he said in a low voice.
"You all understand the specific plan, right?"
Aoba had already thought of a plan before he used the shadow clone technique, so his shadow clone knew about the plan, and the plan execution was based on the number.
Now that he had given the three shadow clones a number. Every shadow clone that received a number knew what they were about to do. So it was much easier to do things. This was also the experience that Aoba had gained from using shadow clone so many times.
When he executes his plans. He let the shadow clones each play their roles. But sometimes… The shadow clones didn't know which role they should play. It was like they had gotten the script and didn't know which role to play.
What Aoba was doing now was to determine the roles played by the three shadow clones through numbers and finally complete the distribution and positioning of the parts.
"Yes!"
After hearing Aoba's words, the three shadow clones instantly understood their position and immediately responded.
"Get ready to start!"
Aoba nodded at the three shadow clones and then directly used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique). He disappeared, leaving only the three shadow clones here.
The next moment, Aoba appeared directly in the underground room. He did not need Eaton to help him attract attention at all, but he had to act as if he needed Eaton to attract attention. Only after he left could he perform what seemed to be a good play.
Then, Aoba took off the white medical ninja costume and the white mask. They were all thrown into Madara's coffin. It was stored inside. It may be useful in the future.
After that, Aoba again used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique). From this dark room, he instantly moved to the watchtower on the tower's third floor(his secret base).
Aoba could see the forest in front of him that was shrouded in darkness. His tense expression when he was treating Danzo eased in an instant, and he relaxed a lot.
"Now, let me appreciate Danzo's memory!"
Aoba slowly closed his eyes. He sat on the watchtower and immersed himself in Danzo's memory.
Although he had arranged many shadow clones to read Danzo's memory, it was only rough progress to find the learning method or use of the Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal.
After all, he was short in time. He wanted to treat Danzo quickly before the higher-ups of the village could react. He also wanted to leave those seals on Danzo, making this Root Boss, who had done many things, become a chess piece for him.
In that short period of time. Aoba had no time to check what Danzo's specific memories were.
At this time, Aoba felt that it was the most suitable time to read Danzo's memories. He did not use many shadow clones to read it together. The feeling of stuffing the results might be more suitable for reading other people's memories, but for someone like Danzo, personally reading it was the most interesting thing.
Gradually.
Aoba was immersed in Danzo's memories.
...
On the other side.
At Eaton's residence.
There were many Anbu lurking around, staring at this place. They were all instructed by the advisor, Homura, to come here to investigate the mysterious man's identity.
Now their task was to keep an eye on the mysterious man.
They could not let the mysterious man escape!
The mysterious man would be arrested if Eaton revealed the last medical herb in the antidote prescription. As a result, they could still know the identity of the mysterious man.
Suddenly, just when these Anbu thought that they would guard this place until the following day. The door of Eaton's residence suddenly opened.
Immediately after, a white shadow rushed out quickly. It felt like he was running for his life. He basically did not care about the Anbu around him.
"???"
The group of Anbu who were watching the scene suddenly had a lot of question marks on their heads. They were clear that the person who ran out was the medical ninja they were responsible for watching.
No way!
Did he run out so openly?
Did he really not treat them as people?
These Anbu did not take the medical ninja seriously. After all, medical ninjas were powerful in medical aspects, but in terms of escaping and chasing, these Anbu were the experts.
However, just as all of their attention was drawn away by the running figure. At the entrance of Eaton's residence. Another medical ninja wearing the same medical ninja outfit and mask ran out.
After this medical ninja appeared. He immediately ran in the opposite direction.
Such a move.
The Anbu at the scene suddenly realized something.
"Shadow Clone!"
This thought appeared in everyone's mind, but they were not sure whether they should catch these two or not. If they caught the shadow clones, it would expose that they were guarding here. But if they miss them, he will run away if he has the actual body.
"Go!"
At this time, the Anbu Captain responsible for this mission immediately shouted. He was very clear that he would instead catch wrongly than let go. He could not let the other party run away.
In a split second.
These Anbu, hiding in the dark to monitor Eaton's residence, rushed forward and grabbed the two white figures.
