Chapter 83: One Sing with White Face, One Sing with Black Face
"Tetsu's matter will end here. We have to get out of the pain of the past."
The Third Hokage raised his eyes and said as if he was trying to mediate the situation. The entire process seemed to have nothing to do with him, and it was completely Danzo who was throwing the blame and the advisor speaking up for him.
"Yes."
Akaru replied. He knew that since Third Hokage had already said so, there was no point in targeting Danzo.
Not to mention.
He only had a secret letter that could not be used as evidence.
Konohagakure Intelligence Division Captain Eaton would not stand up and say anything for him.
This matter.
Even though he was unwilling to accept it.
But he could only let it go.
...
"The rumors in the village and the assassination of Third Hokage in the night all showed Konoha Military Police Force's negligence and carelessness. I hope such a thing will never happen again."
Danzo said meaningfully.
He had already sensed that Akaru seemed to know something.
Rather than waiting for death, he might as well take the initiative to attack!
He had never been a passive person!
"?"
Akaru was stunned.
He had just let Danzo go and did not continue to care about the missing people case.
Unexpectedly, just as his voice fell.
On the other side, Danzo began to criticize Konoha Military Police Force for being incompetent!
This was too...
Akaru did not know how to describe Danzo's face.
"We will deal with the public opinion in the village. As for the assassination of Third Hokage-sama, I will take full responsibility for it!"
Akaru lowered his head and said.
There was no way.
He was not as thick-skinned as Danzo.
It was an indisputable fact that the Third Hokage encountered a night attack.
That was because they, Konoha Military Police Force, did not do their job properly.
"Alright."
The Third Hokage waved his hand and said, "This matter is not your fault. Who would have thought of this!"
"Thank you, Third Hokage-sama!"
Akaru immediately thanked him. At this time, after experiencing the matter of him reporting Danzo to Third Hokage the day before, he vaguely realized that these two people seemed to be cooperating with each other.
One was singing with a white face, the other was singing with a black face.
It was as if Danzo had suffered all the dissatisfaction of the major clans alone, and Third Hokage was going to appease everyone while protecting Danzo.
Thinking of this.
Akaru suddenly felt that Konohagakure's water was deeper than he had imagined.
...
In the following period of time, Akaru had been observing the actions of Third Hokage and Danzo.
The Third Hokage explained a few more things and intentionally shifted the topic back to Tetsu.
After that, Danzo immediately took the opportunity to attack the Nara Clan and Yamanaka Clan.
Tetsu and Yuta were the instigators of this matter. As the families of these two people, they were inevitably implicated.
Just when the two families did not know how to give an explanation.
Third Hokage stood up again in time.
He had resolved the crisis for the two clans and played the role of a good person, causing the two clans to be extremely grateful.
Akaru took in this scene. There was nothing strange about it. It had been happening over and over again for so many years. He had never thought too much about it and had subtly thought that Third Hokage was on the side of everyone.
However, now, he suddenly understood.
Who was that old fox?
Akaru suddenly felt like he didn't know Third Hokage anymore.
...
"Dismissed."
Following Third Hokage's order, everyone in the conference room dispersed.
Akaru also left.
There were only four people left in the conference room.
The Third Hokage Hiruzen, the two consultants, Homura and Koharu, and Root Leader Danzo.
"Danzo, regarding the experiments on Hashirama Cell Transplantation, let's stop here." The Third Hokage said in a deep voice.
"The experiment is about to succeed!" Danzo refused.
"Hiruzen is right. The village is no longer suitable for human experiments." Konoha's consultant Homura said.
"The missing people case has been fermenting to the point of no return. Now we can let Tetsu pay for it, but if it continues, no one will be able to pay for it." Konoha's consultant Koharu said.
"We are only one step away. Are we going to give up before we succeed?" Danzo said unhappily.
"Who knows how long this step will take? No one can guarantee how many people will die before it succeeds. I have already decided on this matter. Konohagakure is not allowed to conduct human experiments in the future, and I will seal up the remaining cells." The Third Hokage shook his head and said.
"Humph!"
Danzo glared at Third Hokage, then turned around and left with a cold snort. He directly broke the door in front of the three people.
"Danzo, you..."
Homura and Koharu saw Danzo's impolite actions and immediately frowned. Although they were very familiar with each other, they should at least respect the Third Hokage.
"Forget it."
The Third Hokage waved his hand and did not say anything else. However, it was unknown what he was thinking in his deep eyes.
...
In the secret room in Konohagakure's prison, Aoba thought about the plan while looking for an opportunity.
During this period, the second Sensory Ninja in the group next to him had completed the search.
The man spread out his hands and raised his palms, making a helpless gesture.
Through this ninja's body language, Aoba judged that the other party did not find out the specific identity of "that person".
However, this was definitely not the time to relax.
He had to be sure that Ikuto really knew nothing.
At this time, Aoba's teammate's Izumi, pressed his hands on Koshiro's temples, carefully searching for the latter's memories.
Suddenly.
Izumi retracted his hand, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"So, Captain Yuta's identity is not so simple!"
Izumi deliberately exclaimed and then wiped the sweat on his face.
He had just used the Mind-Reading Secret Technique to search for Koshiro's memory, but he did not find any clues. Instead, he saw the picture of admiration for Yuta in Koshiro's memory.
When Izumi said this.
It immediately attracted the attention of the people on both sides.
All of them looked towards Izumi.
"He actually saw Captain Yuta."
Their eyes flashed with envy. They clearly felt that the person they searched for memories was a small figure in the organization and did not know any information.
This kind of small figure had fragmented memories. There were a lot of points to search for, and it was very tiring to search, and there were very few things that could be found. It was a typical effort that was not pleasing.
"Of course!"
Izumi said proudly. In fact, he did not see anything, and he just wanted to enjoy the gaze of worship.
Just at this time, Aoba saw that the teams on both sides were looking at Izumi.
He immediately realized.
The opportunity had come.
He lowered his head and got up. Then, as if he had turned around, he walked directly towards the team next to him.
At this moment, the three people in the team next to him were all staring at Izumi, not paying much attention to Aoba walking over.
Aoba had already walked to the front of Ikuto's corpse.
While no one was paying attention.
He gently touched Ikuto's head.
"Ding Dong! Memory Reading Succesful! Obtained: Doton, Dochū Senkō (Earth Release: Subterranean Voyage)"
A crisp electronic prompt sounded in Aoba's mind, and then pieces of memories were added to his mind.
Success!
Aoba did not show a happy mood. He knew that it was not difficult to sneak in, and what was difficult was how to return reasonably.
Suddenly.
Aoba activated his acting mode.
"Eh?"
Aoba immediately rubbed his eyes, then shook his head and muttered doubtfully, "How did this corpse change?"
"Hey, are you tired? You're walking in the wrong direction. That's your team!"
The ninja who was closest to Ikuto's corpse said unhappily. He did not notice that Aoba had touched the corpse and only saw that Aoba was in a daze, and there was a teasing smile on his face.
"Oh, oh, oh, I'm sorry."
Aoba smiled awkwardly and quickly turned to walk in the direction of his team.
Although they were all Analysis Division's ninjas, Aoba did not use any chakra during the whole process, so no one blamed him.
What's more...
Everyone knew how much it took to cast the Mind-Reading Secret Technique.
Occasionally, there would be a situation where they were tired and confused.
This was understandable.
After Aoba returned to Izumi and Shinichi's side, he began to check Ikuto's memories in his mind.
