Hokage Tower.
Not long after the alarm signal was issued, seven or eight Konoha's Shinobi rushed to surround the Hokage Tower.
However, these Shinobi are all Genin, and none of them can make decisions, so they only be in a protective role.
Until a heavyweight character arrives.
"What happened?"
The Anbu Commander, Eagle flickered from the roof of the houses continuously, as fast as lightning.
"Commander!"
When the two Anbu on the second floor saw the person coming, the one on the left jumped down immediately, saluted, and respectfully explained what happened before without omitting any details.
"Someone lured the two of you away and broke into the data room…"
Under the mask, Eagle showed a frown and calmly analyzed, "That is to say, there are at least two people on the other side, can you confirm the identity of any of them?"
Then the Anbu immediately knelt down on one knee and pleaded guilty, "Commander, I'm sorry, we…"
'They can't confirm the identity of the thief?'
Eagle's heart sank, and he subconsciously looked up to the second floor of the Hokage Tower.
'In that taboo data room, all the taboo research materials are hidden. If someone takes it out and researches them without authorization, God knows what terrible consequences it will cause.'
But the most troublesome thing is that, the data room has very high permissions. No one can enter or leave without the consent of the current Hokage!
Even though Eagle has been there many times, it was always for missions, so he doesn't know how many 'secrets' there are in this data room, let alone ordinary Shinobi.
In this way, even if something was really lost in the data room, they would not be able to find it!
'We don't know the identity of the thief, nor can we confirm what they stole…'
'How can this be checked?'
Eagle pondered and said: "Notify Hokage-sama immediately, and at the same time, seal the village and prohibit anyone from entering or leaving."
"Yes!"
The Anbu responded, and hurriedly conveyed the order.
...
In a gloomy torture room at Anbu's Headquarters.
Idate slowly woke up. The dark light around him made his mentality tense immediately. He looked around in a panic, and saw his elder brother sitting opposite him with a serious expression, and he himself… was tied to a stool, and his hands and feet were also tied.
The two brothers are separated by an iron table, and the atmosphere on the scene is gradually uncontrollable.
"Big brother, you, you, let me go, I, didn't do it on purpose, I was wrong, I'm sorry, I'm sorry…"
Ibiki didn't even start speaking yet, but Idate had faintly collapsed.
Ibiki has no expression on his face, but he already knows in his heart that Kanpū didn't lie, and his younger brother has indeed made a big mistake!
The only thing he can expect now is that Idate is really not the mastermind.
"This is the Anbu's torture room, I am Morino Ibiki, not your big brother!"
Ibiki buried his true emotions in his heart, and spoke with no emotions. His pair of black pupils were expressionless, and he looked at Idate without any fluctuations. Then, Ibiki asked coldly, "Who, who encouraged you to do this!"
"I, I, I…" Idate didn't want to betray his teacher, but seeing the terrifying face of his big brother on the opposite side, he waas worried that he would be abandoned, so he was suddenly in a dilemma.
Seeing his hesitant appearance, veins completely appeared on both sides of Ibiki's forehead, wishing he could kick his brother into the wall!
He suppressed the anger in his heart, and continued to ask: "Do you know what you have done? you don't want to spend the rest of your life in prison, tell me everything you know!!"
"No, no, I don't want to go to prison, big brother, I just want to be a Chunin, I just want to prove myself! I, I will never do this again next time! I swear! Big brother, please let me go!" Idate shouted incoherently while struggling.
Ibiki stared at him relentlessly, and the terrifying aura that he had cultivated for many years was mercilessly pressing down on Idate's mentality. After a while, he coldly asked, "Tell me the name of the main culprit!"
Idate was trembling all over. His upper and lower lips kept closed, and finally, he couldn't bear the pressure from Ibiki. He lowered his head and confessed the truth: "It's my instructor, Rokusho Aoi, he said that as long as I get the Sword of Thunder God and Scroll of Seals, I can be promoted to Chunin."
"You idiot! Idiot!!"
Usually, Ibiki has a calm and stable personality. But he couldn't suppress the anger in his chest when he heard these words from his younger brother, and roared ferociously, "Only those who passed the Chunin Exams can be promoted to Chunin. How stupid are you to believe in Rokusho Aoi's nonsense?!"
Idate trembled even more. He lowered his head and kept shouting sorry, but he didn't dare to look up at Ibiki again.
Kanpū and Naruto stood outside the torture room.
There's a gap at the iron door, so the sound inside can be heard from outside.
"Sensei, that Uncle is so fierce." Naruto hid behind Kanpū's legs, and seemed to be overwhelmed by Ibiki's aura.
Kanpū was worried that Naruto would have a psychological shadow in his heart, so he hurriedly said: "It's just bluffs. Naruto, that guy inside is actually just bluffing, and he can be broken with a single poke."
"Really?"
Naruto believed in Kanpū's nonsense. He subconsciously stretched out a finger and pointed at Ibiki's back through the gap of the iron door.
In the torture room.
After finally suppressing the anger in his heart, Ibiki's face suddenly twitched when he heard the words of the two guys outside, but it was obviously not the time to care about this. Seeing his younger brother trembled so wildly, he couldn't bear it in his heart, but he still ruthlessly asked: "Have you stolen the Sword of Thunder God and the Scroll of Seals after you entered the data room?"
Idate shook his head violently: "No, I didn't. I, I was caught by that person as soon as I entered the room."
'That person?'
Ibiki immediately realized that it was Kanpū.
He was slightly relieved and asked: "That is to say, after you entered the data room, you didn't take anything?"
"Yes, big brother, I didn't take anything, I, him, that person, he, he…" Idate wanted to say something, but suddenly noticed that there seemed to be an indifferent gaze from the gap of the iron gate, as if it were the eyes of a devil in the abyss, wanting to devour someone.
"What do you want to say?" Ibiki frowned, he hated it when someone was talking in half.
"No, no, I, I didn't take anything, I was wrong, big brother, I was wrong, I don't dare to do this anymore, I don't want to go to prison, please let me go, please, big brother, I…"
Idate became incoherent again.
Ibiki sighed, gradually putting away the ferocious expression on his face, and said indifferently: "Idate, although you made a mistake, but fortunately, you did not make a big mistake, so there is still room for redemption. Don't do such stupid things again in the future."
"Big brother..."
When Idate heard that, he was suddenly unable to control himself and burst into tears.
Outside the torture room, Kanpū took Naruto away.
"Sensei, shall we go grab that green vegetable next?" Naruto asked excitedly.
"That person is not called green vegetable, but uhh… what is his name again? Forget it, it doesn't matter." (T/N: In Chinese, Rokusho Aoi's name is Lǜ qīngkuí, but Naruto called him Lǜ qīngcài, which means green vegetable.)
Kanpū waved his hand, "Naruto, we have caught a bad guy, we should leave the rest to others, and give some of the credit to the others."
'Anyway, nothing was lost, so let's leave these messes to Anbu.'
Although he is also from Anbu.
"So it's like that…" Thinking that they only caught one of the thieves, Naruto is somewhat unsatisfied.
Kanpū patted his head, and said with a smile: "Naruto, you performed perfectly in this operation, so tonight, I will treat you to Ichiraku Ramen."
When the name Ichiraku Ramen, Naruto's stomach suddenly growled, and then he remembered that he had been hungry for a long time.
"Sensei, I'm so hungry."
Naruto grabbed Kanpū's hand, his whole body turned limp, letting Kanpū hold him.
Kanpū laughed, grabbed his waist and lifted him up, and then disappeared quickly with flickers.
...
At the same time.
Konoha's Gate.
Aoi rushed here with a blank face, then lowered his head and wanted to leave.
But!
"Stop!"
A Genin stepped forward and said, "I just received the order that no one can enter or leave the village, please go back!"
Aoi's heart sank, but his expression remained unchanged. He raised his head slightly and looked directly at the young guarding Shinobi, and said: "I have an important mission, and I must leave now!"
The Genin frowned slightly when he heard this: "The order to seal the village is conveyed by the Anbu, and it has the first priority, so no matter what important mission you have, please go back immediately!"
"Izumo, what's going on with that guy?" In the shadows, another young Shinobi guarding the gate walked out.
If Kanpū were here, he would definitely recognize the identity of these two people, they are none other than Kamizuki Izumo and Hagane Kotetsu!
The legendary Konoha's Gatekeeper Duo!
"He said that he has important mission and wanted to leave the village immediately."
Izumo said without looking back, but his eyes kept staring at Aoi. For some reason, he faintly feels that Anbu's order to seal the village is for this person!
"Since you won't get out of the way, then don't blame me."
Aoi has no time to spend with the two Genin here. Leaving an afterimage, he has already appeared in behind Izumo instantly, and a sharp kunai flashed with cold light under the moonlight was pierced Izumo's vest sharply.
'So fast!'
Izumo's face changed, and he has no time to react at all, but fortunately, he is not alone!
From the shadows, seeing that Izumo is about to be killed, Kotetsu has already taken out a purple ferocious sledgehammer and slammed it directly at Aoi.
Aoi frowned, and immediately flickered to the side by five meters.
'Although they're just Genin, they cooperate with each other tacitly. It may take a few minutes to kill them.'
But Aoi has already learned from Izumo's words that Anbu was hunting him down, so he naturally won't waste time on them.
His figure flickered, and Aoi directly left Izumo and Kotetsu, and rushed out of the village.
"Damn it!"
Izumo was so angry that he took out the signal flare without hesitation.
Boom!
A red firework shot up into the sky.
At this moment, the Anbu, who saw the red flare, flickered rapidly from inside Konoha. Like a drop of water flowing into the river, they rushed from all directions to the gate of the village.
"Sensei, look!"
Outside Ichiraku Ramen, Naruto pointed to the figure flickering above and called out, "Are they thieves?"
"Uh…"
Kanpū blinked his eyes twice and coughed dryly, "Hiding their heads and showing their tails at night, they are not good people at first sight, they …"
Pak!
Under the darkness of night, a bird's nest suddenly fell from the sky and smashed straight towards Kanpū.
Kanpū was shocked, and quickly pulled Naruto back by two steps. He then looked up, and saw an afterimage above the houses quickly going away, and only a vaguely silvery white could be seen.
'This color…'
'Kakashi?'
