A sudden state of affairs.
This was an unexpected development. Sarutobi Hiruzen really didn't expect that Shimura Danzō would bring him such impactful information. Although from the bottom of his heart, it didn't seem very reasonable that Uchiha Clan was the real culprit behind this series of disappearances. Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't think of a reason for the Uchiha Clan to do this.
No benefit?
Not even mentioning this incident, even Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack and Sarutobi Hiruzen a year ago are not very convinced that they are really related to the Uchiha Clan. There are too many inconsistencies. If Uchiha Clan really wants to set off a coup and control Nine-Tails, it is absolutely impossible to make such a hasty decision.
Just these things.
Sarutobi Hiruzen is not allowed to make a decision based on any speculation or inferential reasons.
After all, Sharingan is so obvious in Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's pupils. Just like in this incident, no matter how unreasonable it is, Sarutobi Hiruzen still has to choose to keep one hand. Therefore, in After Shimura Danzō, Mitokado Homura, and Utatane Koharu left, Third immediately summoned the two team captains directly under him, Anbu, who were responsible for investigating missing cases.
The key point is to speed up the investigation progress.
It's okay to cross the line a little when necessary.
Uchiha Clan The catastrophic consequences caused by the real culprit behind this series of incidents are even more serious. At this time, there is no need to care about some taboos.
Moreover, Danzo always gave Sarutobi Hiruzen a slight sense of disharmony. In order to avoid bigger problems, Sarutobi Hiruzen consciously had to take stronger measures after doing these things.
When the time came to the early morning of the next day.
Uchiha Clan station.
Shōji got up and packed everything. He had just stepped out of the clan station and was about to head towards the Anbu sub-base. When he was performing his daily check-in task, a figure suddenly appeared and stopped directly in front of Shōji.
I saw the visitor's white hair and familiar aura.
"Squad leader!"
Shōji was startled, and then he immediately bowed slightly and saluted.
It has been more than ten days since I joined Anbu. Because we have not performed tasks together, Shōji still has no way of knowing whether this white-haired Anbu is the famous Hatake 'Five-Five Open'.
They cannot meet each other on a daily basis and can only see each other in the base.
He appeared on his way to work this early in the morning, which really made Shōji stunned for a moment.
But in the next second.
"Eagle, don't go to the base yet, Lord Third has an order! Let you go see him immediately."
The moment I heard the words of my squad leader.
Shōji's expression didn't seem to change, but there was a sudden tug deep in his heart.
What's going on?
I just went to see Orochimaru last night, and Third is going to summon me today? Has his whereabouts been exposed? Or is it that Orochimaru discovered something strange and then revealed his identity through special channels?
wrong!
None of this is possible.
Let's not talk about the fact that it is almost impossible for Orochimaru to discover his identity. Even if he does notice something strange, Orochimaru has no reason to do so. As for Anbu, if someone can really follow him without being discovered by him.
Then this person's strength is not Super Kage, he must be one of the strongest in the Kage Level level, and he must be good at concealment.
According to Shōji's understanding of Original Work, there is no such person in Konoha today. You must know that for the insurance period yesterday, when he went out and returned, Mangekyō Sharingan was turned on almost all the time., the possibility of his identity being exposed is infinitely close to 0. Moreover, if he is really exposed, it will definitely not be the situation in front of him. There is a high probability that there is some problem in the clan, so Third must temporarily summon himself!
In those few seconds.
Shōji My mind quickly turned around with many thoughts.
As his thoughts gradually became clearer, his slightly tense body slowly relaxed at this moment, and then he nodded with a serious look on his face and said, "Yes, I understand!"
Followed by.
Shōji straightened up, changed direction, and galloped towards the location of Hokage Office Building. When Shōji arrived, Sarutobi Hiruzen was checking and comparing the intelligence and information on the disappearance cases that had been collected by the two teams of Anbu.
Before, Sarutobi Hiruzen had planned to take it easy, not to overly alert others, and wanted to catch them all as soon as possible. Now the situation forced Sarutobi Hiruzen to change the pace of his plan. The possible impact of this could only be passively endured.
"Lord Third!"
Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen's tired state, which was obviously not sleeping all night, Shōji's eyelids twitched slightly at first, and then he immediately knelt down on one knee and shouted with a hint of respect.
"Oh? Shōji You're here. I called you here so early because I have something very important to ask you. I think you already know it."
Sarutobi Hiruzen gently rubbed his temples, looked at Shōji with eyes that seemed turbid but were actually deep, and said in a slightly low tone.
"Yes, Lord Third!"
Shōji still had a calm look on his face, keeping his head slightly bowed, and responded softly.
"Well, then, Shōji, what I want to know is, Uchiha Clan, in the recent period, no, to be more precise, in the past six months, have there been any abnormal changes in personnel, especially in Military Police Force, this issue is very important, Shōji, this is related to the village's subsequent specific policy adjustments!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded slightly, then placed his hands clasped together on the table, leaning forward slightly, looking directly at Uchiha Shōji with an unprecedented serious expression, and asked in a slightly stern tone.
'Unusual personnel changes? And it's from Military Police Force? '
Although he had been mentally prepared, when he heard Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Shōji's heart jumped subconsciously. Could it be that something really happened in the clan that he didn't know about? And still within this six months?
"Lord Third, as far as I know, there have not been many changes in the clan during this period of time. Only some of the clan members who returned from the battlefield were arranged by the Fugaku clan leader to return to Military Police Force. Other than that, there is nothing else. As for the past six months, I'm very sorry, Lord Third, I am not very clear!"
I don't know where Third is.
Shōji replied while his brain was running at a high speed and he was carefully considering the appropriate words.
And Shōji's answer did not exceed Sarutobi Hiruzen's expectations.
