"Using a large number of orphans to carry out Wood Release Experiments has probably caused many deaths?" Jiancheng looked at Akaseki with burning eyes, looking a little excited.
If it can be verified that Root did it, then no one can save Shimura Danzō!
"Although there is no empirical evidence, the clues found do point to this conclusion." Akaseki replied.
"Could it be that Danzo instigated her to mislead us?" Jiancheng double-checked suspiciously.
"No." Akaseki shook his head directly.
After hearing what Akaseki said, Jiancheng didn't question it anymore.
Seeing Clan Leader pacing back and forth, Akaseki couldn't help but remind him, "Clan Leader, before we have actual evidence, it's hard for us to directly conflict with Root, let alone alert the snake."
Akaseki was also afraid that the family's radical behavior would lead to bad things, but he needed Konoha Military Police Force's power to pay attention to these clues, so he informed Clan Leader privately.
Jiancheng pondered for a while and then said, "I know, but you don't understand the current situation... In fact, in the past two months, there have been frequent disappearances of mission ninjas in the country. Every time they disappear, they include Genin and Chunin who were born in the Shinobi Clan. Among them, young people... or even young people account for the vast majority of the missing people!"
"Shinobi Clan Where are you from?" Akaseki frowned upon hearing this, and immediately asked, "How much?"
"There are six cases that have been confirmed, affecting a total of twenty people." Jiancheng paused and said, "Originally, we were investigating based on "hostile ninjas sneaked into the rear". If..."
Obviously, Akaseki's words gave Jiancheng a hint, which made him begin to wonder whether Root was secretly looking for "experimental subjects".
Regarding Danzo's morality, Jiancheng has no hope at all.
"Six cases? In each case, the whole team disappeared?" Akaseki also frowned when he heard this - this number is not small.
Konoha The proportion of normal mission failures is extremely low, especially for this kind of domestic mission. It is very rare for the entire team to lose contact without warning. Now there are six cases in succession...
"Yes, after the mission deadline, when we went to review the situation, we found that these ninjas either did not meet the client at all, or they were no longer seen on the way to complete the mission, or after returning from the mission. In short, they did not receive any requests for help, and they just disappeared." Jiancheng said, and shook his head helplessly.
Konoha Military Police Force also has a headache when something like this happens.
"What did Hiruzen Sarutobi say?" Akaseki asked.
"We need Konoha Military Police Force to investigate." Jiancheng was a little impatient at first, but then he thought that it might be Root who did it, and he immediately showed interest again.
This matter was originally not anyone's responsibility...
After all, he did not disappear in Konoha, but disappeared while performing a mission in Land of Fire.
Konoha Military Police Force is only responsible for verifying the mission status, but is not responsible for protecting the safety of the ninjas performing the mission - of course the ninjas themselves are responsible for safety issues during the mission!
Otherwise Konoha would have to provide them with bodyguards?
It's just that now abnormal situations appear one after another, and Konoha Military Police Force discovered it again, so Hiruzen Sarutobi was handed over to Konoha Military Police Force.
Indeed, Uchiha Clan has "Sharingan", which makes it easier to find the ninja lurking in.
However, in this way, those missing Shinobi Clans will inevitably come to urge them.
"Is there a list?" Akaseki is getting better too.
Jiancheng looked for it directly on his desk, and then handed a list to Akaseki.
Apparently Jiancheng has been paying attention to this matter recently...
Akaseki took a look and found that it was exactly what Clan Leader said - among them Six Chunin, the other fourteen were all Genin, and... most of them were young, and more than half of them were younger than Akaseki!
But I didn't feel anything was wrong with Jiancheng before.
After all, the tasks in Land of Fire are currently being carried out by young ninjas who have just graduated. The only few older ones are all ninjas who have been injured on the battlefield and have returned to recuperate.
Since they all happened in Land of Fire, it is not surprising that the missing ninjas are all teenagers.
It was only after hearing Akaseki talk about "Human Experiments" that Jiancheng began to doubt...
Could it be that outsiders are not lurking into Land of Fire and randomly sniping at Konoha Ninja, but that someone internally is eyeing these young people?
Akaseki looked at all the six missing persons lists, and sure enough...
Among the six missing teams, at least one has a familiar last name - that is, Shinobi Clan.
With the current ratio of Konoha Commoner Ninja, once or twice is a coincidence, and all six times are...
It can basically be concluded that it is "targeting Kekkei Genkai or Secret Technique"!
"It's indeed suspicious, but..." Akaseki actually doesn't believe that it was Root who did it.
It's not that I have any expectations for their morality, but... Akaseki can't think of any motivation for Root to take risks!
After all, they had obtained a large source of experimental products by "falsifying accounts" on the orphans.
At this time, "eating on the sidelines", especially if you still touch the major Shinobi Clan ninjas without authorization, what good will it do to Root?
"Hey, it would be great if we could interrogate him. Then we would know why he did this." Jiancheng said regretfully.
Akaseki:...
Please remember: ⅰХ.О.,
Obviously Jiancheng has defaulted to what Danzo did.
Fortunately, Detective Jiancheng still has sense and knows not to arrest Danzo for interrogation...
Akaseki looked at the famous list again, trying to summarize the clues, but unfortunately he had no clue.
"The last one was discovered three days ago? The missing team included Genin Sarutobi Rin from the Sarutobi Clan?" Akaseki saw a slightly familiar name among them.
Akaseki had basically no impression of Genin who was younger than him in the village. By the time they graduated, Akaseki was no longer Genin, and there were no opportunities to cooperate with them.
The only impression I have is the impression I have of those junior students during my "student days".
Akaseki Remember this Sarutobi Rin, he should be two or three years younger than me, born Sarutobi Clan.
"Even Sarutobi Clan has a missing ninja..." Akaseki felt, this was even more unlikely to be Danzo's fault.
As long as he has some sense, he will understand that if Hiruzen Sarutobi had not protected him now, he would have been "justified by heaven" long ago.
At this moment, there were footsteps outside, and Jiancheng heard the sound and asked people to come in directly.
The person who came was none other than Gongzhi Jiu who had gone to Land of Wind with Akaseki.
Gongzhi Jiu saw that Akaseki was there, nodded to him as a greeting, and then quickly said to Jiancheng, "Clan Leader, there was another disappearance just now... When the people of the third team went to Tanzaku Town to check the progress of the mission, they found that there was no news from a team that was supposed to report to the employer a day ago."
"Again? The seventh one... Give me the list." Jiancheng saw Gongzhi Jiu bringing the paper.
Jiancheng couldn't help but frown after taking over the list.
"Huh? Among the missing ninjas this time, there is no one from the Shinobi Clan?" Jiancheng wondered - this is the first time this has happened.
Akaseki Hearing this, he also came forward and took a look.
"I don't know, the specifics... The third team is still learning about the situation. After receiving the message from Ninja Cat, I went to the mission registration place and found the directory." Gongzhi Jiu also knew that this matter was difficult and came over as soon as he heard the news.
But Akaseki's expression changed at this time and said, "No, this Kōken should be from Forest Street."
Although there is no surname, theoretically it is not Shinobi Clan, but... in terms of blood, it is the original Senju Clan!
Akaseki felt familiar when he saw the name Kōken. After recalling it, he remembered that there was a child with this name that he had seen at Forest Street before.
Since there is no Other Ninja Clans ninja, this should not be a coincidence.
Jiancheng's expression changed when he heard this. "Sure enough! Let me just say... I finally found Senju Clan!"
Gongzhi Jiu didn't understand why Clan Leader looked like he expected it, but he guessed that before he came in, Clan Leader should have been discussing this matter with Akaseki.
What other clues do the two seem to have?
"Clan Leader knows who it is?" Gongzhi Jiu asked quickly.
Recently Konoha Military Police Force has been staring at something...
"It's a very important matter, and there's no evidence yet." Jiancheng finally knew that he couldn't alert the enemy, and immediately said to Akaseki, "Akaseki, then you should be responsible for investigating this matter! Just... go to Forest Street first."
"Ah? Clan Leader, but I'm still at home reflecting, right?" Akaseki was stunned when he heard this.
"It doesn't matter, that Hiruzen Sarutobi... just say that you went there to find Sarutobi Rin!" Jiancheng said with a big wave of his hand.
Akaseki After hearing what Clan Leader said, he didn't refuse anymore - he was doing some self-reflection at home, and no one was there to keep an eye on it.
Gongzhi Jiu looked confused. Even if the missing person had the original name Senju Clan, there is no need for Akaseki to be personally responsible, right?
After all, there are just some Genin missing now.
In everyone's opinion, this is not a big deal - just twenty or thirty inconspicuous Genin, Chunin, which would definitely attract attention before the war, but during the war, everyone became a little numb to sacrifice!
In addition, before Akaseki mentioned Root's "Wood Release Experiments" to Jiancheng Clan Leader, everyone felt that this was an enemy ninja lurking in, which made everyone psychologically believe that this was also part of the battlefield damage.
The level of attention is far less than the current "worth" of "Konoha's Akaseki".
However, Akaseki understands that the reason why Jiancheng Clan Leader specially wants to investigate by himself is mainly because of Root--if it is really related to Root, The importance of this matter has skyrocketed, and... "It may be related to Root", Jiancheng cannot tell anyone else, so naturally it was handed over to Akaseki who brought the news!
Akaseki doesn't delay either...
Akaseki returned to the clan this time. In addition to meeting Clan Leader and Chizuru's grandma, he only took a shower and then went out again... to Forest Street.
On the way Akaseki heard that there were several incidents of "mysterious ninjas damaging public property" near Forest Street.
Seeing those Water Style Nintaijutsu traces of destruction, Akaseki knew roughly what was going on...
Obviously Forest Street reacted more intensely to "Wood Release Experiments"!
