In the bright room, just as Kenshi fainted, an Anbu ninja suddenly appeared. It was the captain of the Anbu squad, Blast.
He came behind Kenshi, quickly formed a few hand seals, and then pointed a finger at the back of Kenshi's exposed neck.
"Four-Symbol Seal."
Black sealing jutsu, like spiderwebs and vines, spread from the point where Blast touched Kenshi's neck, quickly covering his entire body.
After sealing, Blast raised his hand, and the black sealing jutsu patterns seeped into Kenshi's body like ink and disappeared.
At this time, Chong also walked in.
"Captain." Chong looked at Blast.
"Hmm." Blast nodded.
Chong immediately took out a sealing scroll, formed a hand seal to open it, and a rope and a sack appeared with a puff of white smoke.
The sealing scroll was a good thing, it could seal anything inside, making it a storage bag in the ninja world, essential equipment for murder and arson.
Anbu ninjas usually carried four or five sealing scrolls, filled with equipment for murder and arson.
Chong skillfully used the rope to bind Kenshi into a tangled mess, then put the sack over him, tied it up, and carried him on his shoulder. He left with Blast.
Outside the house, the Third Hokage and his Anbu guard squad were hidden around the area. He stood alone on the roof of the building opposite.
Blast used the Body Flicker Technique to appear in front of the Third Hokage and respectfully said, "Hokage-sama, the target has been sealed and captured."
"Good work." The Third Hokage nodded, his smile warm, then he turned to Kari, who was walking towards them, and asked, "How is it? Did you detect any chakra fluctuations?"
Kari shook his head, "No."
To prevent the target from potentially using the Spirit Transformation Technique to escape, the Third Hokage had his guard squad set up a chakra-sensing defensive barrier around the house when he arrived.
Now, there were no fluctuations in the perception barrier.
This meant that the target's soul was still in Kimura Yao's body and hadn't left.
This was consistent with the Third Hokage's understanding that once the Soul Possession Technique was used, it couldn't be used again during the adaptation period.
"Good."
The Third Hokage nodded in satisfaction, his smile becoming even more amiable. He turned and said, "Take the target to interrogation room number three. I'll follow you discreetly."
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
Blast turned and left, signaling for Chong to carry the target and follow him.
The other two members dispersed to both sides, maintaining vigilance. The group moved swiftly across the rooftop, heading towards the Anbu headquarters.
The Third Hokage and his guard squad followed behind.
At this time, Konoha was shrouded in darkness, with only scattered lights.
Konoha didn't have a curfew at night.
However, there weren't many people walking around on the streets at night.
Only some ordinary middle-aged men who went to the tavern to drink.
These people didn't notice the Anbu passing by on the rooftop.
But some special people could sense the Anbu's presence.
"Halt."
A cold, deep voice suddenly echoed around them.
Blast stopped upon hearing the voice, quickly reaching for a kunai from his waist pouch with his left hand, while his right hand instinctively gripped the hilt of the katana on his back, his body slightly squatting.
His eyes were fixed on the two pairs of scarlet eyes that suddenly appeared on the rooftop in front of him, glowing in the darkness.
Blast's body was ready for battle in an instant.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Simultaneously, the two squad members flanking Blast moved to either side of him in an instant, protecting Chong, who was carrying the target, in the middle.
Both of them, like the captain, had one hand gripping the hilt of their katana, while the other reached for a kunai from their waist pouch, ready to fight at any moment.
But it was just a battle readiness, they didn't draw their katanas or kunai.
Because standing in front of them were ninjas from the Uchiha clan, not enemies.
Of course, the Uchiha clan weren't exactly good people either, so they needed to be cautious.
Blast stared calmly at the two Uchiha clan ninjas from the police force who were blocking their path, and said in a deep voice, "Anbu on a mission, irrelevant personnel, step aside."
Heh!
The two Uchiha clan men, wearing Konoha Jonin vests, sneered at Blast's words.
The one on the left, with his hair standing tall and a long braid reaching his waist, stood on the rooftop, arms crossed, eyes looking down, with a meaningful smile on his face, "You say you're Anbu, so you're Anbu? What proof do you have that you're Anbu?"
Uchiha Ace chimed in, "Yeah, what evidence do you have that you're Anbu ninjas, and not enemy..."
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Uchiha Luffy suddenly coughed a few times, interrupting his younger brother, Uchiha Ace's words. Then, he looked at his younger brother with a hint of disapproval.
(ShixT9: IDk about this, the author just decided to insert luffy,blast and ace here)
They knew very well whether the four in front of them were Anbu ninjas or not.
It was fine to tease them with a few sarcastic remarks, but if they really asked about enemy ninjas, it would be like insulting the Uchiha clan's police force. They were supposed to be guarding and monitoring Konoha, and if they couldn't even detect enemy ninjas entering Konoha, what right did they have to guard and monitor Konoha?
Some things shouldn't be said lightly, they had to take responsibility.
Uchiha Ace obviously realized that he had almost gotten himself into trouble, but he didn't feel guilty. Instead, he glared angrily at the four Anbu ninjas.
At this time, the sack on Chong's shoulder caught Uchiha Ace's eye. His eyes lit up, and he immediately judged that it was a person, a child.
Uchiha Ace immediately asked, "Who's in the sack?"
Blast frowned and said in a deep voice, "None of your business."
Uchiha Ace chuckled, not taking the Anbu ninjas, who were directly under the Hokage's jurisdiction, seriously. He said coldly, "Refusal to be inspected means you're suspicious and have ulterior motives against Konoha."
Hearing such a nonsensical argument, how could Blast possibly agree to an inspection? This was a mission specifically emphasized by the Hokage.
Moreover, in Konoha... no, in the entire ninja world, only the Hokage had the right to inspect them, the Anbu.
No one else could, they didn't have the authority.
But Blast still suppressed his anger and emphasized again, "I said, Anbu on a mission, irrelevant personnel... step aside."
The final "step aside" was an ultimatum.
Blast and his three companions simultaneously exuded a resolute aura. If they didn't step aside, they would be obstructing the Anbu's mission, and they could be killed without hesitation.
This was the authority granted to them by the Hokage!
Heh!
A cold laugh echoed again, clearly someone who wasn't afraid of the Anbu's authority.
Uchiha Luffy, facing the Anbu squad's aura, was not afraid at all. He kept his arms crossed and looked down at them.
Uchiha Luffy sneered, "Monitoring Konoha, protecting Konoha, having the right to kill first and ask questions later, eliminating any enemies who are harmful to Konoha, this is the right granted to our Uchiha clan's police force by the Second Hokage, Tobirama."
"Suspicious Anbu, are also under the surveillance of our Uchiha clan's police force."
"Refusal to be inspected, even if you're Anbu, even if you're the Hokage, is not allowed."
With that, Uchiha Luffy finally lowered his arms, ready to play with the Anbu squad in front of him.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Words were wasted, Blast and his three companions drew their katanas simultaneously, ready to attack.
At this time, a calm voice, like a mountain slowly descending, echoed.
"Is that so?"
"Even I'm not allowed?"
It was unclear when the Third Hokage appeared, but when his voice fell, he had already slowly landed in front of Blast and the others, his calm and powerful gaze fixed on the two Uchiha brothers, Luffy and Ace.
In an instant!
The two brothers felt as if the air around them had solidified into steel, firmly pressing them down, making them unable to move, unable to breathe.
Cold sweat almost instantly crawled over the two brothers' faces and backs, dripping down.
