During this time, the three members of Genma's Team had each searched one of the ten areas Konoha had been divided into.
They found an Anbu member in each area and hurried back with them.
Orochimaru did the same.
He gave each of them a pill.
Yet none of these Anbu had White Zetsu parasitizing them.
Orochimaru's heart stirred. He checked the time.
"Hayato, it's noon now."
"Immediately bring all the other members of the Military Police Force to Training Ground Six."
"Understood?"
Hayato's heart sank. Every member of his Hyuga squad had White Zetsu on them, while the Anbu from the other areas did not. This had become a major problem.
Hayato quickly bowed.
"Understood, Lord Hokage. I'll gather the Military Police Force immediately."
Shamu had already explained the principles of the Spore Technique to Orochimaru. Spores did not spread from one person to another; they could only be spread by someone who had cast the technique.
In other words, all these Spore Techniques had at least one caster behind them.
And that caster needed physical contact to spread the Spore Technique.
Orochimaru had first worried that the Anbu had also been infected, but the investigation results showed that the Anbu had never come into contact with that person.
Meanwhile, among the Military Police Force, four people carried six spores.
If only this one squad had been infected, it could only be called a coincidence.
But if the entire Military Police Force had been infected, then things were serious.
Because the Military Police Force now consisted entirely of Hyuga members, that meant there was a problem within the Hyuga Clan.
Orochimaru frowned slightly and said to Namiashi Raidō, "Invite the Third Hokage over."
After leaving, Hyuga Yuto headed toward the Military Police headquarters with a heavy heart.
Most of
