These Anbu were all elites but couldn't see through the shadow clones. They had to capture these medical ninja shadow clones who ran away.
All of a sudden, these Anbu chased after Aoba's shadow clones, who ran in different directions.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Just as they were about to touch the shadow clone, the two shadow clones did not give them a chance to touch at all. They directly turned into smoke and disappeared.
"Both of them are shadow clones?!"
When the surrounding Anbu saw this scene, they all widened their eyes and could not believe what they had seen. It was beyond their expectations.
They did not think that a medical ninja could use two shadow clones after a day of surgery, which greatly surprised many.
One must know shadow clones were not rare ninjutsu in the Anbu circle. Many Anbu knew it. However, everyone knew that the shadow clone divided the chakra equally; the more shadow clones created, the more chakra would be divided, directly leading to further weakening of the original body.
Even if they were Anbu. When using shadow clones, they would also control the number. Even some people would not create too much of the number. So this made them realize that one of the two clones must be the real one.
But...
What made these Anbu very shocked was...
The two clones were removed when they were about to catch up. No one was the real one.
All of a sudden, these Anbu's attention turned back to Eaton's residence's direction, and they began to panic.
They realized a possibility.
Swish!
It was at this time it seemed to confirm their guess. A white figure quickly ran out from the door of Eaton's residence.
It was very fast. It was as if everything had been planned out. He ran straight to the position where there was no Anbu.
At this time, the Anbu had all been pulled to the sides. They had already distanced themself from this white figure.
"Chase!"
The Anbu all had the same thought in their heads. They all realized that this white figure that had run away was the medical ninja himself.
It was absolutely impossible for it to be a shadow clone again!
Everyone at the scene was obvious. It was relatively difficult to split out three shadow clones because it has a very high requirement for chakra. Even Anbu would not easily try it. Otherwise, it would be easy to cause more damage to themselves than help.
Then, these Anbu rushed toward the white shadow. Their speed was very fast. They had no intention of holding back at all. After all, they had already made their move. There was no point in continuing to hide.
Why not just capture this person first?
However, it was the same as what had just happened. Just as these Anbu were about to catch this white shadow.
"Bang!"
A blast sounded. It was clearly transmitted into everyone's ears. Then, the white figure turned into wisps of smoke and disappeared from their sight.
"?????"
All the Anbu present were dumbfounded. They failed three times in a row. They watched helplessly as the three shadow clones were removed in front of them. This made them unable even to touch it. Their mentality was about to collapse.
"Not good!"
Someone from the Anbu group exclaimed. Everyone instantly reacted and looked in the direction of Eaton's residence.
The door was wide open. Through the darkness, one could see the lights in the living room. There was no one inside.
"He escaped!"
These Anbu all realized this, and everyone was stunned on the spot, not knowing what to do.
It was too exaggerated!
They were all a little dumbfounded!
A mere medical ninja!
In front of dozens of Anbu, he actually escapes without these Anbu seeing him. Everyone had been fooled by him!
"Damn it!"
An Anbu cursed in his heart. He had already realized that the target they were responsible for staring at had disappeared.
"Now everyone is divided into two teams."
"The first team will stay here and guard Eton-sama's residence. Make sure no one goes out. The medical ninja may still stay in Eaton-sama's home!"
"The second team will start to search the surrounding areas quickly. Find the people wearing medical ninja clothes as possible or the medical ninja clothes that have been thrown away!"
"Move now!"
This Anbu Captain ordered everyone. Because of the mask, no one could see the face of this person, but the tone of the voice made people feel a sense of urgency.
When such a mission was given to them from the very beginning. None of them felt that this was a relatively difficult mission. They used so many Anbu to watch a medical ninja who had already exhausted his strength. This made them feel that it was a waste of personnel.
However, at this time, they gradually realized. The medical ninja was not as simple as they thought.
...
These three shadow clones were the three numbered actors that Aoba had instructed.
No. 1 took the lead and rushed out to attract the attention of all the Anbu present, making them think that he was going to run away, and then they began to prepare to chase him.
Immediately after.
No. 2 would immediately run in the opposite direction, catching Anbu off guard.
However, when they chased and were about to catch up to No. 1 and No. 2, they would then release the shadow clone technique, causing the Anbu who were chasing them to be shocked.
Finally, before they can react. Let the shadow clone number 3 run out!
At that time, according to Anbu's original thinking, they would not think that this was a shadow clone.
Because of this, when they found out that this was a shadow clone. The impact would be even greater.
Aoba did not leave Eaton's room at all. He had already used Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Technique) to go.
However, he used this method to create a strange atmosphere. After the Anbu found out that it was a shadow clone, they would feel that they had been fooled, and he ran away while at it instead of guessing that he had used space-time ninjutsu to escape.
This was very important to Aoba!
Otherwise, when Aoba disappears from Eaton's residence. Not to mention these Anbu; even Eaton would want to ask him how he escaped. At that time, Aoba would not have a reasonable explanation. But it was much more convenient now!
Aoba sat on the tower's third floor and felt the three shadow clones transmit what they had experienced in turn. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he continued to read Danzo's memories.
...
On the other side.
After hearing Aoba's arrangements, Eaton hurriedly walked toward the Hokage Building. When he left in a hurry. He directly took away a portion of Anbu's attention.
These Anbu quickly shuttled through the darkness and focused their attention on Eaton. In this situation, they could not be sure if he was the genuine Eaton or someone who used a transformation technique.
Eaton did not care about these Anbu at all, or rather, he hoped that more Anbu would follow him. This way, Eaton would think he had created a bigger space for Aoba.
However, if not for the urgency. Eaton might even take these Anbu to walk around on other roads. But now it was an urgent matter. Eaton had no other choice. He could only go to the Hokage Building as fast as possible.
A few minutes later.
Eaton came to the entrance of the Hokage Building.
When he walked to the entrance. Four ninjas were standing at the entrance of the Hokage Building. They were all Chunin. They were in the middle of changing shifts. Two of them were the ninjas who had seen Eaton in the daytime.
When Eaton came over, these two ninjas immediately saw Eaton. Their faces immediately turned respectful.
"Eaton-sama!"
The two ninjas quickly gave the two ninjas who came over to change shifts a look and immediately bowed respectfully to Eaton.
Suddenly, the two ninjas who came later immediately looked at Eaton, who came over.
"Eaton-sama!"
The two ninjas bowed and saluted. As the doormen of the Hokage Building, they knew Konohagakure Intelligence Division's Captain, Morino Eaton.
"En."
Eaton just nodded to the four people and did not speak superfluously. He walked directly into the Hokage Building.
When the four ninjas saw this scene, they immediately opened a path. No one dared to say anything. After all, the other side was Konohagakure Intelligence Division's Captain.
Just like this, under the gaze of the four ninjas, Eaton entered the Hokage Building.
Not far away, all the Anbu who followed Eaton saw him enter the Hokage Building. They exchanged glances.
No one left.
They stay in the same place.
They knew very well what their mission was, and it would not end just because Eaton entered the Hokage Building.
Eaton entered the building very smoothly and shook off the tails behind him. At least they did not follow in.
Eaton walked and went up the stairs. When he reached the middle of the stairs, he suddenly stopped.
"Hu... hu... hu..."
Eaton took a few deep breaths and tried his best to calm himself down. He knew well that the people he was facing now were the Third Hokage and the two Advisors.
At this time, he could be said to be the one who had healed Danzo-sama's injuries.
He was someone who had made great contributions!
He was Konohagakure's great hero!
He had to have confidence!
After brainwashing himself, Eaton immediately straightened his back and became even more confident. Eaton walked up to the second floor of the building with his head held high.
After a few steps, Eaton came to the door of the Hokage's office. He raised his right hand, clenched it into a hollow fist, and suspended it at the door of the Hokage's office. After a slight hesitation, he resolutely knocked.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
A dull knock sounded on the door.
This time, the voice was not as soft and gentle as before, but through the movements and sounds, one could feel the firmness.
"Please come in."
Through the door of the Hokage's office, a low and magnetic voice sounded. This voice was very recognizable; it was the voice of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.
After hearing Hiruzen's voice, Eaton pushed the door open.
At this time, the Hokage office was brightly lit, and two people were inside, sitting opposite each other, both of which meant sitting at the desk. Hiruzen was facing the door directly. The other person was Konoha's advisor, Homura, who had his back on the door. The moment Eaton opened the door, they turned to look at Eaton.
All of a sudden, Hiruzen and Homura's eyes were focused on Eaton.
"Eaton is here!"
When Hiruzen saw Eaton, his eyes suddenly lit up. Then he turned to look at Homura and said, "You go to Koharu. I want to have a few words with Eaton alone. Then we will go and find you."
"Okay."
Homura nodded. He knew that Hiruzen was going to whisper something to Eaton. However, he did not care about it at all. It was as if these things had nothing to do with him. He got up and walked toward the door, walking to Eaton's side and brushing past him.
Homura did not speak to Eaton.
Eaton also did not say anything to Homura.
In fact, both of them were very clear in their hearts. Homura sent those Anbu Ninjas. After Homura left, the office door was closed, leaving only Eaton and Hiruzen inside.
"Eaton, sit down and talk."
Hiruzen's eyes focused on Eaton. He used his eyes to signal Eaton to sit on the chair in front of him, which was the chair that Homura had just sat on.
"Yes."
Eaton walked towards the chair. When he was in the corridor, he was still a little nervous. Now that he had entered the office, he relaxed and was no longer nervous.
Under Hiruzen's gaze, Eaton sat on the chair. Hiruzen opened the desk drawer, took out a kiseru, drew a match, lit the tobacco leaves, took a puff, and then slowly exhaled.
"Eaton, there are only the two of us now. Can you tell me the identity of the medical ninja?"
Hiruzen held the kiseru in his right hand and looked down at the desk. It looked like he had inadvertently said this.
After saying that, Hiruzen seemed to feel that it was not enough. He added slowly, "This is just my personal curiosity."
"I promise!"
"I won't tell anyone!"
There was a hint of promise in Hiruzen's tone. In the end, he raised his eyes and stared sharply into Eaton's eyes as if he wanted to oppress Eaton with his gaze.
