Chapter 89 Disappearance
Now that we know that it is Shimura Danzō who has never dealt with the Uchiha Clan, Akaseki will not go with them even if there is a way to get rid of the suspicion - what if the old boy directly does it?
"How dare you resist arrest?" Although the Anbu masked ninja couldn't see the distress signal sent by Sharingan, he knew what happened and was immediately annoyed.
"Quick fight!" They also knew that once the distress signal came out, things would definitely change.
But----
"Variables" happen faster than they think!
"Everyone stop it!"
Just when Akaseki was about to fight the three Anbu masked ninjas, Hiruzen Sarutobi's own voice came over.
I saw that Third Hokage was wearing a light royal robe at this time. It looked like pajamas underneath. It seemed that he was suddenly disturbed at night and put on his clothes.
Akaseki's eyes narrowed - Shimura Danzō, also following Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Lord Hokage!" Akaseki shouted quickly, his words full of help.
"Shimura-sama!"
The three Anbu masked ninjas all knelt down and saluted Shimura Danzō.
Akaseki also realized at this time----
These ninjas wearing the same masks as Anbu are probably not Anbu.
Although Root has been established for several months at this time, it has always been secretive. It does not even need to report work progress to Jonin Meeting. No one knows what they are doing. It is a completely independent secret agency!
Therefore, there was no sense of existence. Akaseki didn't even recognize their uniforms. Only then did he realize that these three----should be Root's people.
"Back off!" Sarutobi waved.
This is obviously said to the three kneeling people, after all, they are now standing between Akaseki and Sarutobi.
The three of them hesitated and made no move.
Danzo felt Sarutobi glance at him, and his heart suddenly sounded alarm, and he quickly said, "Lord Hokage I want you to step back I
"Yes." The three of them agreed.
At the same time, Akaseki quickly stepped forward and said, "Lord Hokage! They suddenly attacked me!"
Akaseki looks panicked, but just from the first impression, Sarutobi can't help but be biased towards Akaseki----
Sarutobi was still sleeping at home just now, and Danzo suddenly came to the door and reported to him that the secret archive room had been stolen, and Root's ninjas were tracking the prisoner.
Sarutobi was so frightened that he immediately came out of Biwako, put on his clothes and wanted to give Danzo outside a stick. Why are you lying? You can't even act, right?
Sarutobi knows very well that there must be fraud here, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence?
These guard jobs were just handed over to Root, and you stole them for me? Are all your Root ninjas useless?
But the guards can't see them, but they can track the prisoners?
But----
This is also a conspiracy!
If Danzo really handed the scroll to the Uchiha Clan, and Akaseki obtained Sealing Technique from the Uzumaki Clan, then what if--
..
Sarutobi was filled with anger at this time, but had to deal with the matter immediately.
"Akaseki, why are you here?" Sarutobi asked as calmly as possible.
"I usually practice at the Forest of Death exit at night----" Akaseki said truthfully.
"Haha, why are you leaving now?" Danzo interrupted at this time.
"Why is this a secret location? Can't my Uchiha Clan ninja come?"
At this moment, the voice of Lanyu came over.
Jiancheng, Lanyu of the Uchiha Clan, and six or seven other Jonin, all came to the scene at this time. It can be seen that they were also anxious to come out, and none of them were very particular about their clothes.
After Lanyu choked Danzo, Jiancheng asked directly, "Lord Hokage, is this the hidden responsibility of Root?"
"Jiancheng Clan Leader, there is a reason for this, and we have to distinguish whether it is a misunderstanding." Sarutobi comforted Uchiha Clan, but was unwilling to weaken in front of the Uchiha Clan.
Danzo saw Sarutobi's thoughts and immediately pushed him further. "Yes, this is our duty Root - to arrest the traitorous ninja who stole the village's secrets!"
"Rebel? You said we Uchiha Clan are traitors?" Lanyu said, Tomoe appeared in his eyes.
The other Uchiha Clan ninjas also looked ready to go.
Only Jiancheng, as Clan Leader, remained calm and said to Sarutobi, "Lord Hokage, I think Assistant Shimura not only regards us Uchiha Clan as enemies, but also mortal enemies and personal enemies!"
Sarutobi also looked gloomy at this time. Danzo saw this and said, "Of course I am not talking about you Uchiha Clan ninjas, but just this Akashi Uchiha! Why don't you take out the scroll?"
Danzo said, looking at the pocket on his waist, which obviously contained a scroll.
Sarutobi also saw it from the beginning----
That's why I think Danzo is a conspiracy!
Although he didn't believe that Akaseki could steal or steal the secret scroll, but now it seems that it is really in his hand, what if he sees it? "Scroll?" Akaseki frowned when he heard this, and quickly took out the scroll.
But when he took it out, Danzo couldn't help but his eyes froze----
A very ordinary scroll, you can tell from its appearance that it is not <Warring States Sealing History>, but an ordinary seal scroll.
After taking it out, Akaseki spread it out directly on the ground, and then faced the seal above Cursed Seal: "Unsolved!"
I saw Akaseki using Summoning Technique to break the seal and take out the contents----
Statues of forearm-high figures appeared out of thin air, mostly based on the images of the three Hokage, Sasuke Sarutobi and other Konoha Elder----
"Because I usually like these things and admire Lord Hokage, I carry them around with me to encourage myself - do these businessmen actually have no authorization? Then I don't know, so it's not like they are traitors -" Akaseki said aggrievedly.
In fact, even if the seal is not unlocked, no one will suspect that the secret scrolls collected in the village are hidden in the seal. They are all made of special materials and cannot be sealed in the sealed scroll at all.
Danzo was stunned for a moment, then looked Akaseki up and down.
But after Akaseki took out the scroll, there was obviously no other place on his body to put the scroll!
"Where did you put <Warring States Sealing History>!" Danzo scolded and looked at the other Root ninjas.
He only informed Sarutobi to come and get the dirty ones after his subordinates reported that they "witnessed Akaseki putting away the scrolls."
"What <Warring States Sealing History>?" Akaseki heard this and took off his coat angrily, so that it looked clearer. There was no place to hide anything.
On the other side, the Jonins of the Uchiha Clan also opened their eyes when they saw this. All of them were dissatisfied, thinking that this was an insult to the Uchiha Clan. Only Jiancheng, as Clan Leader, showed some restraint.
"What are Lord Hokage and Assistant Shimura looking for? Do they suspect Akaseki of stealing secrets? Haha, even if I, Uchiha Clan, really want to steal something, I won't send A child, right? And--if it is a confidential archives room, wasn't it me, Konoha Military Police Force, who was always in charge of guarding it before, and was it just handed over to Root recently?" Jiancheng asked in a deep voice.
When Danzo saw this, he immediately pretended to be calm and said, "Of course we have evidence - the guards saw Sharingan!"
Hearing what Clan Leader and Shimura Danzō said, Akaseki thoroughly confirmed the situation, and then his heart crossed. "Ah! Lord Hokage, is the scroll lost in the village a scroll with red lines and gold edges?"
Originally, Danzo had already begun to confront Kensho Uchiha, and Sarutobi was also having a headache. Then he suddenly heard Akaseki say this and looked over immediately.
Jiancheng, Lanyu and other clan members also looked at Akaseki in confusion----
"Yes, Akaseki, where did you see it?" Sarutobi asked quickly.
This is no longer just a matter of the sealing location. Now the situation is getting out of hand. The conflict between the Uchiha Clan and Shimura Danzō is about to break out!
After all, Konoha Military Police Force has been dissatisfied with this matter since the establishment of Root----
Sarutobi didn't pay much attention to the broken scroll at first - who knows what kind of weapon Uchiha Clan is and whether it's still alive?
He just wants to solve the "stolen" problem itself----
"Just now----I woke up from my cultivation state and heard strange noises in the bushes. I was afraid that an enemy was lurking into the village, so I went over to check and found such a scroll." Akaseki said truthfully.
"Huh, you picked it up?" Danzo wanted to ridicule him for lying, but after receiving a sideways look from Sarutobi, he shut up.
"Akaseki, is the scroll still where it is?" Sarutobi confirmed to him.
However, Akaseki shook his head and said, "Probably not. I originally wanted to see what it was, but before I could pick it up, it disappeared. I was afraid it was a scam, so I was about to report it to you, and then the three of them blocked me."
"You----you're talking nonsense!" Root ninja scolded immediately.
"Ah? Lord Hokage, I am indeed going to your home, right? Besides--if I really stole something from Hokage Building and ran here, wouldn't I have passed through the clan territory? Isn't it good for me to go home--" Akaseki looked at them inexplicably.
"Assistant Shimura, what's going on? What does Root want to do?" Jiancheng asked directly.
Isn't this situation very clear?
It's you Shimura Danzō who is fishing, but you're not using real bait!
"Putting aside everything else, did you really not read that scroll?" Danzo also didn't expect that he would be forced into this situation and started talking indiscriminately.
"No - it just disappeared." Akaseki said with an innocent face.
"Are you sure?" Danzo looked at him gloomily and said, "That's easy, just let someone check your memory----"
Before Akaseki could say anything, Lanyu had already scolded, "You are presumptuous! Who dares to investigate Uchiha Clan's person? I want his head!" Lanyu said and stared at Sharingan directly at Danzo, as if he did not hide his intention to take action.
"Lanyu Jonin, calm down first." Sarutobi just finished speaking.
I saw Jiancheng closing his eyes at this time, taking a deep breath, then opening Three-Tomoe Sharingan, and said decisively, "Lord Hokage! If you can still tolerate Root being so presumptuous, please allow me, Uchiha Clan, to retire and return home!"
Akaseki:----
Shouldn't it be a matter of disarming and returning to work?
When Sarutobi saw this, he immediately comforted him and said, "Jiancheng Clan Leader calm down, Konoha how can we do without Konoha Military Police Force----"
