Public Security Department Third floor.
As soon as Senju Chen sat down, all the activity records of these people Kumogakure were placed in front of Senju Chen.
He opened it and scanned it again.
Dynamic record of Kumogakure mission at the Guest House in the morning.
When he took Little A out for a visit, two of the four elite men in civilian clothes walked out.
One headed towards the commercial street in the east district of Konoha and stopped in several shops. It seemed like he was shopping. In fact, every time he stopped, he could observe the nearby ninja formation's defense change route.
The other one is more interesting.
He walked around the south area, passing Konoha's weapon forging workshop and ninja tool supply station, and finally stopped at an intersection for two minutes - that intersection happened to be where he could see the gate of the Hyuga Clan's mansion.
Senju Chen's eyes fell on this line.
He drew a circle on the four words "Hyuga Clan" with a pen.
Then turn to the next page.
This is the report of Shisui.
"Hyuga Clan Main Family has been deployed around it, with three shifts, and there is no dead spot around the clock. Konoha Military Police Force has deployed six people, all of whom are Sharingan holders. In addition, Hyuga Hiashi himself has been notified, and he said that he will strengthen the security inside the Main Family."
Senju Chen Close the report.
He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes for a while.
I string together all the information in my mind.
People from Kumogakure are indeed paying attention to the Hyuga Clan, but they are still restrained.
At present, we are only observing from a distance, and there are no substantive actions.
Senju Chen opened his eyes, picked up the pen, and wrote a line of words on the paper.
He folded the note and handed it to the ninja on duty at the door.
"Go and send it to Deputy Minister Shisui."
"Yes, Mr. Minister."
The ninja on duty took the note and immediately disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Senju Chen sat back in the chair, folding his hands behind his head.
He looked at the ceiling, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.
Kumogakure is indeed well prepared for this visit. The staffing, division of tasks, and professionalism in intelligence collection are all more than one level better than the one in the original work that I read in my previous life.
Third Raikage is still alive, which is indeed different.
But...
Senju Chen's eyes narrowed.
"Even if you are well prepared this time, with me here, if you can walk out with what you want Konoha Gate..."
"Then I will take your surname directly."
Afternoon, Kumogakure's temporary hotel.
Little A was sitting alone in the back room, with a piece of paper spread out in front of him.
A few lines were drawn on the paper, marking the general direction of the Konoha main street. He remembered it from memory during today's visit.
The location of the Konoha Medical Department, the location of the Ninja Academy, the location of the Public Security Department building, and the direction of the Hyuga Clan mansion that he only glanced at from a distance.
The room door was knocked twice.
"Come in."
A ninja in plain clothes pushed the door in and closed the door behind him.
"Report, the reconnaissance results this morning have been summarized."
Little A raised his head.
"Say it directly."
"In the direction of East District Commercial Street, Konoha Ninja defense change interval is about forty minutes. The patrol route is fixed but the personnel are not fixed. In the direction of South District--"
He paused.
"Hyuga Clan The security force around the mansion is much higher than expected."
Little A's brows moved. "How do you use the law?"
"There are at least three groups of secret sentries within a radius of 200 meters from the outer wall of the mansion. I did not approach directly, but observed from a distance at the intersection for two minutes, but the sight of one of the secret sentries clearly swept over my location."
Little A was silent.
Three groups of hidden whistles.
It is true that Hyuga Clan belongs to Konoha's wealthy family, but three groups of hidden sentries are deployed outside the Main Family's mansion. This specification is too high. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a family to have one configuration.
Then there is only one possibility - Hyuga Clan has strengthened peripheral protection.
But why strengthen at this time?
Konoha knew their intentions in advance?
Little A's mind was spinning rapidly.
If it was strengthened before they arrived, it means something big happened to the Hyuga Clan recently.
But if it was only strengthened after they arrived...
That means their true intentions have indeed been exposed.
"Check if anything has happened to the Hyuga Clan recently." Little A decided, "There is no need to get closer recently, and even long-distance observation has been suspended."
"Yes."
"Where is Medical Department? Any clues."
Another ninja in plain clothes stood up from the corner. This man had a particularly ordinary face, the kind that would be hard to find in a pile of shame.
"I went to queue up in the afternoon."
Little A glanced at him. "You actually went to queue directly?"
"Yes, the Medical Department building is heavily guarded. My subordinates can only pretend to be civilians from the border town of Land of Fire. Their right arm is wrapped in a bandage. They say it is an old injury and they want to come and have a look."
"Then what?"
"But they informed me that it would take about three days to wait for me to be in line. There were more than 40 people in front of me, all coming from all over the country. Some had missing arms, broken legs, and some with injured eyes. I talked to a few people in front of me, and they said..."
He lowered his voice.
"They said they had seen someone cured with their own eyes. An old ninja had his right hand broken at the elbow for twelve years. After being treated here for three days, a new arm really grew."
Little A's Adam's apple rolled.
A broken arm that lasted twelve years grew a new one in three days?
Konoha This "Limb Regeneration" technology is actually real.
But this is no longer something that ordinary Medical Ninjutsu can explain.
"Did you find out the specific technique used?" Little A asked hurriedly.
"I asked, but the people in line didn't know much about it. They only knew that after entering, they would be taken to a separate room, and the injury would be healed when they came out. Some said that Lady Tsunade did it himself, while others said it was a green liquid. The opinions are inconsistent."
Green liquid?
Little A's eyes flashed and he wrote down this detail.
"Don't go next time, arrange for one of us to have a real broken arm to try."
"Understood."
Little A read the markings on the paper again, then folded the paper, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it.
Little A leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes for a while.
There was a knock on the door again.
This time it's Killer B.
"Brother, there was a Konoha Ninja at the door who sent a box of fruit, saying it was Minister Senju's wish."
Killer B brought a wooden box in and put it on the table.
Inside the box are Land of Fire specialty peaches, each individually wrapped in soft paper and neatly numbered.
Little A picked up one and turned it around twice in his hand.
"Fruit?"
"Brother, it's just fruit. I've checked it. There's no Chakra fluctuations, and it's not poisonous. It's just an ordinary peach." Killer B picked up one and took a bite, and the juice flowed down the corner of his mouth, "Yeah - sweet! So sweet!"
Little A stared at the peach for two seconds.
Then let it go.
Senju Chen certainly didn't bring the fruits here because of hospitality.
Then what does Senju Chen mean by sending these fruits?
