After discovering that the situation was abnormal, Akaseki originally wanted to channel Ryūchi Cave's little snake to deliver a message to Orochimaru, but...
Summoning Technique!
"Huh?" Akaseki Hand Seals After one time, it was found that it failed.
"No need to try, Space-Time here in Rōran is very weird in itself. It should be the influence of Ryūmyaku. After entering here, I can no longer use Summoning Technique." Minato reminded.
Minato already discovered this when he first came in.
"Space-Time has been affected..." Akaseki murmured thoughtfully.
"However, Space-Time Body Flicker Technique can still be used. It should just be that Space-Time Ninjutsu cannot be used at long distances or in a large area." Minato added.
What this means, Akaseki doesn't understand either.
But I can just do some research on my own...
After all, Guang has the eye skills of most Mangekyō Sharingans that were born in the Uchiha Clan over the past seven hundred years, so he has a wide range of knowledge!
"Okay then, let's split up tomorrow. Guang and I will go ask An Lushan who was caught yesterday. You go find those who have seen the four thieves and ask if there are any clues. After that..." Akaseki wants to split up directly.
But the words are not finished yet...
"No!" Ranwu refused directly.
Minato on the side also shook his head.
"If you go to find An Lushan, let's go together." Minato emphasized.
Obviously, we have doubts about An Lushan and Minato.
Although Minato knew that Guang was probably very powerful, but... Minato was still worried, so the two of them went to find An Lushan.
Not to mention Ranwu, she still thinks in her heart that Chunin's strength is at best!
Early the next morning, four people from Akaseki came to see An Lushan again...
Perhaps because he was too frightened last night, little Sara Queen did not show up today, but she was not needed.
"I'm really sorry, I disturbed our distinguished guests last night, and I was just about to come and apologize... This is the Identification Token of the automatic Puppet. Please accept it for the time being." An Lushan took out what he promised last night.
"With this token, you won't be attacked by those Puppet?" Akaseki confirmed.
"Well... most places are like this. You don't have to abide by curfews and the like. However... there are also some special and confidential places where you are still prohibited from approaching. Please forgive me." An Lushan explained.
Akaseki didn't care about this - of course there are places where it's forbidden to get close, and there are secrets everywhere, especially Rōran... such as the core of Ryūmyaku!
What's more important now is...
"Have all the gangsters been caught last night?" Akaseki confirmed to An Lushan.
An Lushan shook his head and said, "There is no news about the other three people. Maybe... the accomplices are attracting our attention so that they can escape."
"What about the one we caught last night?" Akaseki asked, staring at An Lushan.
"Under treatment... We also want to know who sent them here." An Lushan explained specifically, as if he was worried that Akaseki was going to kill someone directly.
"That's just right. Ranwu is also famous as Medical Ninja in Konoha. I'm also good at dealing with trauma. Why don't I help you take a look." Akaseki further said.
"This..." An Lushan heard this and showed some reluctance.
"Are there any difficulties?" Akaseki asked.
"Then I'll leave it to you two." An Lushan said helplessly.
Hearing what An Lushan said, Akaseki's three people still did not relax their guard. Although they did not believe that An Lushan was a master, this incident made Akaseki's three people uneasy after the appearance of "White Fang".
Only Guang still didn't take it seriously...
Soon after, An Lushan personally led everyone to the underground prison part of Royal Tower.
At this time, in the special observation room, a white-haired ninja was lying on a bed with a restraint device, in a coma.
Seeing the white hair, Akaseki was shocked. He quickly took two steps forward, looked inside through the large glass of the observation room, and immediately confirmed... it was indeed not Hatake Sakumo!
Although his face was wrapped in bandages, with Akaseki's eyesight, he could completely figure out what he looked like.
He's just a white-haired ninja whom Akaseki doesn't recognize. He looks about thirty years old.
Then Akaseki's gaze swept across his legs...
Minato also looked over at this time, and Akaseki nodded to him inconspicuously, indicating that "that's the person for sure" - Akaseki saw the two legs of the person at that time. With the dynamic visual memory of "Sharingan", Akaseki could confirm that it was this person that he saw at that time, and An Lushan did not use any tricks.
"Do you have any clues?" An Lushan asked Akaseki.
"Nothing... it's really not Konoha Ninja." Akaseki shook his head - he had never seen this person before. If he was really Konoha, especially a white-haired person, Akaseki wouldn't have no impression at all.
After discovering that it was indeed an unknown "little thief", Akaseki felt relieved.
"Let me take a look at his injuries." Ranwu said.
An Lushan Hearing this, he hesitated for a moment, but still agreed and signaled the men on the side to open the door of the observation room.
After Ranwu entered, he used various Medical Ninjutsu on the injured person.
In addition to no surgery, I tried several methods and finally came out...
"He probably injured his brain. This cannot be solved by surgery. He can only rest." Ranwu said to An Lushan.
"Well, I hope he can wake up and reveal some clues." An Lushan nodded not surprised by the result.
After confirming the condition of the injured, especially after confirming that he was not Konoha's ninja, Akaseki and others did not stay long.
"Queen actually attacked Rōran. It seems that this gang pretending to be Konoha Ninja must have a conspiracy against Konoha! Don't worry, Anshe, we will definitely assist you in the future and catch those three guys on the run." Akaseki said confidently.
"Well... actually, he may have escaped, so I don't need you to worry too much." An Lushan looked like he didn't want to cause any trouble to Konoha Ninja.
"No, this kind of enemy usually doesn't give up so easily. If Anshe discovers anything, he must notify us in time... Is that okay?" Akaseki asked in return.
After hearing what Akaseki said, An Lushan did not refute it.
After leaving Royal Tower, the four of Akaseki summarized the information...
"What I saw last night was indeed that person... It seems that he is really just weak. Such a guy actually has a ninja of the level of "White Fang". There must be some conspiracy against Konoha!" Akaseki said confidently.
"The man was indeed injured and unconscious. In addition... there was nothing wrong with the first aid method. It was obvious that the rescuer really wanted to hang on to his life." Ranwu followed up.
Minato continued, "I observed An Lushan. He usually has almost no micro-expressions and seems to be very scheming. However, it seems that he is not lying."
"After that..." Akaseki pondered for a moment and then said, "Ranwu and I will go find out about that group of people. Minato... You and Guang can study the power of Ryūmyaku."
Akaseki has not forgotten that in addition to light, Minato also has his own purpose for coming to Rōran this time.
Now, except for the appearance of "White Fang", which is confusing, there is nothing else suspicious. Perhaps it is a group of "scammers with sufficient funds", so Akaseki does not want everyone to waste time in this absolutely meaningless investigation.
"Eh? Guang also has talent in Space-Time?" Ranwu said in surprise.
"That's right." Akaseki nodded.
Only then did Ranwu understand, and understood why Uchiha Orochimaru would arrange light in the task!
No one had any objections to this division of labor. Akaseki and Ranwu went to find the soldiers who mentioned these people before, while Minato and Guang...
"I'm going to Puppet Workshop to feel the fluctuations of Ryūmyaku. Do you want to come with me?" Minato asked proactively.
"No." Guang refused directly.
When Minato saw this, he just nodded and left.
Akaseki found the soldiers guarding the gate and identified the soldiers who had seen the impostors yesterday. From their mouths, Akaseki roughly learned the composition of those people.
"The oldest and leader among them has white hair... By the way, there seems to be a short knife here." The gatekeeper said, touching the back of his neck.
Because the place where the knife was hung was very special, he still had an impression of it.
Akaseki and Ranwu looked at each other and understood that this must be the guy they saw before who was suspected of holding a counterfeit White Fang!
"You even deliberately imitate the place where the knife is hung. This is despicable." Akaseki curled his lips and then continued to ask, "Where are the other three people?"
"Those three are about fifteen... well, eighteen years old, one with yellow hair, one with white hair, and one with black hair. The boy with black hair has the same family crest as you on his clothes. The one with white hair is a girl, and the one with yellow hair... also has a family crest, which is a red, swirling pattern." The guard guard described vaguely.
"Red vortex? It looks like this?" Akaseki said, taking out a scroll with the Uzumaki Clan family emblem and showing it to him.
"Yes, that's it." The guard guard nodded repeatedly.
Akaseki and Ranwu frowned even more.
"What's going on with this group of people? A rookie who can't even beat Rogue Ninja, holding a replica White Fang, and there is someone wearing the family crest of the Uzumaki Clan? I don't know Uzumaki Clan has been exterminated. Are only Kushina and Manako still there? And he's the one with yellow hair!" Akaseki shook his head, feeling that these people were too unprofessional.
"By the way, is there something wrong with the boy whose family emblem is the same as his? Take a closer look." Ranwu pointed at Gunbai on Akaseki's clothes and reminded.
Yesterday An Lushan said that he recognized the fakes from their family crests.
"Well... ah, by the way, the family crest on that boy's body, Gunbai, has a pattern." The gatekeeper said, and he made a few dotted lines on Gunbai with his hand, like a lightning-shaped chain of folds.
"Even our Uchiha Clan's family emblem is wrong!" Akaseki said particularly unhappy.
At this time, Akaseki and Ranwu were also puzzled - even if they used such a precious ninja as "imitation White Fang", how could every other aspect be full of flaws...
