Because it involved the higher-ups of Konoha, Anbu looked at each other and immediately said in a deep voice, "I will inform the Hokage-sama. We will collect all the bodies and then take you to receive treatment first."
This arrangement was reasonable, but how could Aoba, who was ready to blow up this matter, accept it completely?
"I don't need treatment! Take me to see the Hokage-sama!"
"Are you sure?"
Anbu raised his voice. After all, in their eyes, his current situation could only be described as bad.
However, Aoba firmly said, "I am sure I have a very urgent matter that I must meet the Hokage-sama immediately."
The members of Anbu looked at each other, then nodded and said, "If you insist, then leave."
"Wait a minute."
"What's wrong? You can't hold on?"
"No, I'm a little hungry. Can you get me something to eat?"
"."
Now they believed that this guy would die in a short time.
….
In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi looked at Danzo, who had a gloomy face, and Aoba, who was in an extremely sorry state and was covered in blood.
"Tell me, what exactly is going on? Why would the Root people come to that place?"
"Humph, how would I know? Maybe they just happened to pass by. Hiruzen, now my people are dead. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?" As Danzo spoke, he glanced at the side without leaving a trace.
The meaning behind it was self-evident!
Obviously, he wanted Sarutobi to hand over the 'murderer to him to deal with!
Aoba really admired this guy's face. At this time, he actually wanted to make a false accusation!
At this time, Sarutobi said, "Aoba, tell me what happened. Don't hide or exaggerate anything."
"Yes, Hokage-sama. This is what happened."
After the detailed explanation, Aoba continued, "The other party insisted that the missing Root member had something to do with me. He also said that if I didn't cooperate, he would kill me on the spot."
At this time, Danzo suddenly interrupted, "Then why didn't you cooperate? Could it be that you have a guilty conscience?"
"If you want to accuse me, there is no need to worry! If I enter your Root base, even if I am innocent, it will become a crime. At that time, will I still be alive to stay?" Aoba sneered!
"Absurd! If this matter has nothing to do with you, I will naturally let you go after the investigation. I think you are worried that the matter will be exposed!" Danzo slammed the table!
"Haha, then why when I said that I wanted to see the Hokage-sama first, and those people directly attacked? Is it because of a guilty conscience? Who is worried that the matter will be exposed?"
"These are just your side words. We are not clear about the specific situation at that time. Now, of course, you can say what you want."
"Is that so? Then why did Lord Danzo ask three questions just now? Weren't you very clear about what happened? Why didn't you admit it?"
"This old man has to deal with many official duties daily. How can I keep everything in mind?"
Hearing the two of them arguing endlessly, Sarutobi slammed the table heavily. "Enough! What a mess!"
"Danzo, let me ask you, how did that missing person come out of the vicinity of Aoba's house? Are you sending someone to monitor him?"
"So what if I am? It is my responsibility to monitor an unstable existence in the dark!" Danzo snorted.
"Then what did you find out about the surveillance? Why did you need to send someone to assassinate him?"
Danzo was not afraid at all. "Something happened to the person I sent to monitor him, so I have reason to suspect that this matter is related to him. In addition, I just sent someone to bring him back for investigation. It is because he is guilty and resists law enforcement. Only then will my people use force. How can there be an assassination?"
Danzo's series of words directly choked Sarutobi. He was so angry that his eyes widened.
Aoba also found that he had underestimated Danzo.
This mouth of Danzo could turn black into white.
In terms of politics, Sarutobi was really no match for this guy.
Therefore, Aoba immediately said, "Hokage-sama, please help me! I didn't know that I was being watched all this time, and how could a little Genin like me be able to make him disappear?"
"Moreover, this is also a one-sided statement of Mr. Danzo! What if there is no disappearance at all?"
"If Mr. Danzo wants to kill me, he can find as many excuses as he wants. Please understand!"
Sarutobi instantly narrowed his eyes and looked at Danzo with a hostile gaze.
With his understanding of his old friend, he knows that Danzo could really do such a thing!
Whether it's missing or not, wasn't it just a matter of a word from this guy?
In addition, he also knew why Danzo did this.
All of this was a self-directed trick by Danzo so that he could use this excuse to get rid of himself after killing Aoba.
The initial denial made Sarutobi even more certain of his judgment!
Therefore, Sarutobi immediately pulled his face down and said, "What else do you have to say?"
Danzo was instantly speechless!
"My people have really disappeared!"
"Hehe, how long do you have to say such an excuse? I know what you are thinking and why you are doing this. You want me to make everything clear, Danzo!"
Fuck!
Danzo was extremely aggrieved!
Of course, he knew that Sarutobi had long seen through that he wanted to kill someone.
The disappearance of someone was indeed just an excuse for him to act!
But his subordinates were really gone!
Why don't you believe me?
Then, at this moment, Aoba spoke again, "Forget it, Hokage-sama, don't punish Danzo just because of a little Genin. I don't deserve it! Cough, cough."
Aoba, who was retreating, immediately spat out two mouthfuls of blood in front of Sarutobi and Danzo!
Coupled with his sorry state and the blood dyed his entire body red, he was truly as miserable as he could be!
Danzo's face immediately turned into the color of a black pot.
He kept gritting his teeth.
How could he not see that this little brat was 'using' eyedrops!
You still wanted to punish this old man?
You want to f*cking eat my ass!
On this point, Sarutobi was indeed biased towards Danzo.
However, Aoba's miserable appearance also made him a little tangled. In the end, it was Danzo who had ignored him too much. It made him feel that he should teach Danzo a lesson and let this guy be more honest.
Therefore, Sarutobi said lightly, "What do you mean you don't deserve it? You are all part of Konoha. This matter may be a misunderstanding, but you should go and receive treatment first. Don't be so miserable here."
