Kapitel 340: What’s Your Name?
"How... how did you get in here?"
Eaton stared at Aoba, who was already sitting on the sofa waiting for him and felt his head buzzing.
One must know.
This was his home.
Konohagakure Intelligence Division Captain's home.
Just like that, someone was able to enter without anyone noticing.
A bizarre thought suddenly appeared in Eaton's mind. Right now, Aoba had told him about coming here, then what if he did not tell him?
Wouldn't that mean that he could enter at any time?
He could go out at any time, and no one was able to find him walking in and out.
This was not too good!
Eaton's face becomes serious. He knew that this was a method that Aoba used to avoid the possible sights around him. However, this method was a bit hard for him to accept.
After saying this, Eaton quickly walked into his residence and promptly closed the door, afraid someone outside would see what was happening inside.
After that, Eaton walked toward Aoba. He stopped about two meters away from the sofa. He stared at Aoba, who was sitting on the sofa with a complicated look in his eyes.
Aoba calmly looked at Eaton to express his doubts. Behind the mask, a faint smile appeared on his face.
All these things were within his expectations. He knew that Eaton would be surprised. After all, a person appears in your home for no reason. If he didn't say hello in advance, he would be caught as a thief.
However, Aoba had already prepared an excuse. This matter was nothing compared to the matter of meeting Hiruzen later on. It could be said that it was not worth mentioning at all.
"Brother Eaton, I left a reverse summoning scroll in your house."
Aoba raised his hand and took out a scroll. The scroll had traces of being used, and it looked like it was used this time.
"Reverse Summoning Scroll?"
Eaton frowned, and the doubts in his heart became even more intense. He stared directly at Aoba and continued to ask, "Aoba, why did you leave this thing in my house?"
"Brother Eaton, did you forget? Last time, you went to the Hokage Building to report. At that time, I was alone in your home, and many Anbu were outside. Although I succeeded in breaking out of the encirclement, I had to leave behind a little backup. So before I left, I put a reverse summoning scroll in your home." Aoba lightly explained.
"But why didn't you tell me about this?" Eaton didn't know whether to laugh or cry. His home was directly set up with a reverse summoning scroll, and Aoba could come in anytime. This feeling was too strange. Fortunately, he didn't play too intensely with his wife. Otherwise, it would be hard for him to accept if this person suddenly appeared.
"Brother Eaton, wouldn't you get rid of this scroll if I tell you? Then how can I enter your house today? I guessed that Hokage-sama might use some methods to lure me out again, so I left behind this little trick." Aoba explained to Eaton.
"You mean..." Eaton shifts his attention from the scroll in Aoba's hand to the Third Hokage. His face suddenly became more serious. His eyes stared at Aoba, and his lips moved slightly. After a bit of hesitation, he said, "Is Hokage-sama wants to lead you out?"
"What else?" The corners of Aoba's mouth slightly curled up behind the mask, but this did not appear on the mask. It still showed Eaton an indifferent attitude.
"Could it be that there is a problem with Danzo-sama's injury?" After hearing Hiruzen's call, Eaton secretly thought of this problem in his heart. However, he did not take it too seriously. More importantly, he felt that Danzo's injury was too severe or that Aoba's medical experience was insufficient, so there was a problem in the treatment process.
However, now that he heard Aoba's words. The suspicion that was strongly suppressed in his heart suddenly erupted.
'It can't be!'
'Could it be that the dignified Hokage-sama will use this method to find people?'
'This is too strange!'
"If I'm not wrong..."
Aoba stared at Eaton, his eyes flashing with thoughts. Then, he slowly said.
"Hokage-sama won't do anything that will cause trouble for others."
"I think he will more or less cause some problems for Danzo-sama. After all, Koharu-sama is a medical ninja. It is not difficult to do this."
"In this way, he can use this method to call me over and let me treat Danzo-sama."
"If I go, I will risk exposing myself."
"However, if I don't go, Brother Eaton will take a bigger risk and leave some reason for the higher-ups of the village."
"So I must go!"
Aoba said slowly. His tone was not too strong, but anyone could hear his determination.
"Aoba..."
After hearing Aoba's words, Eaton was still very moved. After all, the other party was very frank with his words.
This was not only an act of knowing that there were tigers in the mountains yet still preferring to go to the mountains but also taking risks for him.
"Actually, it's fine if you don't go!"
After taking a deep breath, Eaton stared at Aoba thoughtfully and said something that he had thought about for a long time, "If you can be sure that Danzo-sama's injuries are fine and his life is not in danger, then even if you don't go, they won't let Danzo-sama die. In this way, this trap will break by itself."
Eaton knew about this problem.
Although this was very effective and could prevent him from being tricked, he still had to take a considerable risk.
That was, he might be ostracized in Konohagakure.
Of course, Aoba had also anticipated this, and it was not that he couldn't go there. In fact, going there for a while was not a problem for him.
"Brother Eaton, don't say anything. When they made this decision, I knew that before Danzo-sama completely recovered, I might have to go again, and I don't know how many times. Just treat it as after-sales. "
Aoba shook his head and got up from the sofa. He took out another scroll in his hand. The scroll was sealed properly.
"Brother Eaton, this is the Reverse Summoning Scroll. I will give it to you. If this happens again, you can come to me and open the Reverse Summoning Scroll at home. This way, I can enter your house without anyone knowing," said Aoba.
"This... O... Okay..."
Eaton took the scroll. He felt that this kind of thing was strange. It should not appear like this at all. However, there was no way to refuse it. He had no choice but to take the Reverse Summoning Scroll from Aoba.
"Aoba, how do you think Danzo-sama's injury appeared? Did you not treat it well, or did Koharu-sama do it?" Eaton immediately asked in a low voice. In fact, he wanted to say the Hokage, but he could not say it. In the end, he stayed with Koharu.
"I can't say for sure now, but I don't think there is any problem in the treatment process. But what exactly is the situation? I will give you a conclusion after I check Danzo-sama's body!" Aoba said conservatively.
"Understood." Eaton nodded and said, "We don't have much time left. Let's not talk about this here. I'll take you to Danzo-sama now."
"En, let's go."
Aoba nodded and followed Eaton, walking out of the door.
Then.
Eaton led Aoba, who was wrapped up, to the direction of the Hokage Building.
Although the two of them attracted some people's attention along the way, it was not a lot. Most of the time, it was because the clothes that Aoba wore were too eye-catching, and they did not know that they were going to treat Danzo.
Danzo's injury being cured was only known to the higher-ups of the village, and they would not let others know about it.
Now, Konohagakure had gradually recovered to its former state. The ninja world was in chaos, but Konohagakure was relatively quiet. The other forces were busy fighting each other, and they could not care less about Konohagakure.
Ten minutes later.
Eaton and Aoba came to the Hokage Building entrance.
The guards seemed to have been instructed. After seeing Eaton and Aoba, they immediately step aside, leaving a place for the two to enter directly.
Eaton did not care about the two ninjas guarding the entrance and directly walked in. Aoba followed behind Eaton and went in together. They went directly up the stairs and walked to the end of the corridor on the second floor. That was the place where the Hokage's office and Danzo were recuperating.
At this moment, there was a person standing at the end of the corridor. From his posture, it seemed that he was waiting for the two of them.
It was Konohagakure's Advisor, Mitokado Homura.
"Homura-sama!"
When Eaton saw Homura, he immediately bowed and greeted him. Aoba followed Eaton and did the same thing. But he did not say anything.
Homura slowly nodded. His gaze focused on Eaton, then quickly shifted to Aoba, who was already completely wrapped up. His deep eyes seemed to want to see Aoba's expression through the white mask.
"It's good that you're here."
Homura nodded. He immediately turned around and pushed open the door to Danzo's room. He took the lead and walked in.
"Come in and take a look!"
Homura did not say anything too intense. This was indeed something that they had already planned for a long time ago.
Just after Eaton left, Hiruzen called Homura and Koharu over here and quickly discussed how to make that mysterious medical ninja appear again.
Just then, Hiruzen proposed a constructive suggestion. That was to let Koharu injure Danzo to a certain extent and let Eaton call the mysterious medical ninja again.
Only if Danzo was still injured. Then the reason can be attributed to the problem that the medical ninja that Eaton found could not cure him completely.
As a result, there was nothing Eaton could do. He would definitely bring the mysterious medical ninja over. Because there was a problem with Danzo's injury. If not handled properly… That would be the infamy of killing Danzo.
When Homura saw Eaton and the mysterious medical ninja together, he immediately understood that Hiruzen's plan had succeeded. He had successfully brought the mysterious medical ninja out.
The rest would depend on the development of the plan.
In fact, there were still some differences in their plans at the back.
For example, when Koharu mentioned that the mysterious medical ninja appeared, they would directly launch an attack without letting him check Danzo and took the initiative to control this mysterious medical ninja.
However, this point was rejected by Hiruzen. In Hiruzen's opinion. This mysterious medical ninja was the one who cured Danzo. In terms of reason, he had contributed significantly to Konohagakure. He should not be treated in such an extreme manner!
Because of this, Koharu changed her mind and after confirming with Homura. They decided to invite Aoba in a relatively gentle way.
Eaton stood at the door and did not immediately step in. In his eyes, this black door was like a big mouth that could swallow people. Although he had just come here not long ago, this place still gave him an indescribable feeling of strangeness.
After a moment of hesitation, Eaton looked at Aoba next to him, and the eyes exposed by the mask looked at each other.
"En."
Aoba nodded silently, indicating that Eaton could walk in, and did not say anything more.
Eaton received the signal from Aoba. He immediately took the lead and walked into the dark room while Aoba followed him in.
The inside of the room was not completely dark. There were still a few dim yellow candlelight in the position of Danzo's bed in the distance, making the room's environment look indescribably dark.
"You are here."
Koharu's voice sounded faint. There was no surprise in her tone and no anxiety about Danzo's injury. It looked like a very ordinary thing to her, she was not even willing to pretend.
"Yes!"
Eaton immediately responded. However, just as he responded, he could tell from Koharu's deep and indifferent appearance that there was no problem with Danzo.
Whether Danzo's problem had appeared by himself, whether it was Aoba who had not treated him completely, or if Koharu and the others caused it, the reason was not important. What was important was that Koharu would definitely be able to handle it, and there was no need to call Aoba over.
Eaton's eyes had already become deep. At this time, he was almost sure that this was the plot that Konohagakure's higher-ups had used to lure Aoba out of this place.
"This medical ninja is here too!"
After Koharu greeted Eaton, she focused her gaze on Aoba, her eyes shining with a meaningful look.
What happened last time was still fresh in her mind. She still hadn't had the time to get her revenge. Now was the best time.
"Come and take a look. Danzo has not been able to wake up after your treatment. No matter what method we use, there is no way to wake him up. From his appearance, he looks like he is in a vegetative state." Koharu said in a deep voice. What she said could be said to be very serious. This made Eaton, standing in front, change his expression instantly. The anger he had just now was immediately restrained.
Vegetative.
This was a very dangerous thing.
In the Ninja World, some people were in a vegetative state.
Many ninjas were still alive even though their nerves were damaged. After all, there were different levels of battles happening at every moment. Even in peacetime, there would be ninjas who would carry out all kinds of missions.
Only...
The people in a vegetative state in the Ninja World were not treated well.
After they confirmed that they would not wake up, whether it was the medical ninja with scarce numbers or relatives who had already mentally prepared themselves, they would all come to a consensus that they would give up the treatment of this vegetative patient.
This was a choice they had to make!
There was no way to raise such an idle person in the Ninja World!
Not to mention the ninja values. How to die was more important than how to live.
Then...
In the end, they would choose to let the ninjas who were in a vegetative state die in a more heroic way instead of living on with their lives on the line.
Eaton's expression changed greatly. He didn't know whether the situation of Danzo becoming vegetative was reliable or not, but it made him very worried. His heart was already a mess. The firm feeling he had suddenly wavered. He was no longer very clear if this was really a conspiracy plan.
"Okay."
Aoba nodded slowly and walked toward the bed where Danzo was lying on. He directly came to Danzo's side and raised his hand to touch Danzo's wrist.
At the same time, Koharu and Homura approached Aoba one after the other.
The two looked like they were watching how Aoba would treat him. The eyes landed on Danzo, and there was a hint of worry in their eyes. However, from their actions, they wanted to completely block the path here, not leaving any path for Aoba to leave.
When Eaton saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. His initially chaotic mood instantly became even more chaotic, and many question marks appeared in his head.
'What does this mean?'
'Isn't this trapping Aoba?'
Eaton still remembered that when Aoba explained to him, he mentioned the problem of Koharu blocking Aoba. Because of that matter, Aoba took out the list filled with herbs.
There was no list now. Moreover, even if he took the list, it would be meaningless.
Suddenly, Eaton also took a step forward, ready to come to Aoba. Actually, even he did not know what he wanted to do. Although it was impossible for him to really have a fallout with Konohagakure's two advisors. But he still wanted to advance and retreat with Aoba.
After all, the fact that Aoba could take the risk to come here was related to his future. He could not easily abandon Aoba.
"Eaton, the medical ninja, can not be disturbed while he is doing the treatment. You go and guard the door. We will go out in a while." Koharu said coldly. She still had the same commanding tone. After all, she was still Konohagakure's Advisor. It was more than enough to deal with Eaton, and was completely qualified. There was no problem at all.
"Koharu-sama..." Eaton suddenly frowned. He felt that the other party was going to send him away. But he could not say it directly. Moreover, he knew that it was useless to stay here, but he did not want to leave so easily.
"Eaton, there is nothing for you to do here. Go outside and wait for news." Homura also said. His words contained an unquestionable meaning as if he was going to drive Eaton out.
"Homura-sama..." Eaton's face became ugly. His chest rose and fell rapidly. He knew this matter was not right, but he did not know how to solve it. He still stood there, not directly turning to leave because of the words of these two advisors.
However, Aoba's hand moved away from Danzo's wrist right at this moment.
"Brother Eaton, Danzo-sama's injuries are severe. You need to avoid it." Aoba said indifferently.
"This..."
After hearing Aoba's words, Eaton's originally firm heart instantly relaxed, and he no longer knew what to do.
He couldn't just leave directly like this, right?
However, Aoba had already spoken. So what should he do?
Eaton stood in place in a daze. He was in a dilemma. His situation made him a little unsure of how to solve this problem.
His position was simply insufficient if he were to clash directly with the two advisors. He did not have enough authority to speak, and his words had no weight at all.
Not to mention that if they were to fight, he was only a special jonin. In terms of strength, he did not possess jonin's strength, and he could not stir up any waves.
He could not help much, even if he took a step forward. He was very clear about this, but he would feel very unwilling if he were to leave.
Creak...
At this moment, the door to the room where Danzo was located sounded.
Another figure walked in.
It was the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was wearing a Hokage robe.
"Hokage-sama!"
When Eaton saw the Third Hokage walking in, he was even more speechless and did not know what to say.
This kind of feeling was like a student who has repeated what kind of cruel words he should say when he meets his strict homeroom teacher countless times in his heart. But when he really stood in front of the homeroom teacher, not only did he not say a word, but he was also so terrified that he could not speak.
This was the feeling that Eaton had right now.
Along the way, he had thought of many things to confront Hiruzen head-on. But now, at this time, whether it was the matter of Danze becoming a vegetative or the fear that arose in his heart when he faced the Hokage, he firmly swallowed these words and could not say a word.
"Eaton, you go out. There is nothing for you to do here. Leave this to me." Hiruzen slowly said. When he spoke, he took the kiseru from his mouth as if he did not want to smoke in Danzo's room.
"This... um... uh..." Eaton really wanted to refuse, but he didn't know how to say it. He had a lot to say in his heart, but in front of Hiruzen, he didn't dare to say a word.
"Go."
Hiruzen urged again. This sentence was a bit dull, but it revealed an even stronger majesty, which made Eaton feel even stronger fear in his heart.
"I..."
Eaton's gaze focused on Hiruzen and then quickly shifted to Aoba.
At this time, Aoba's gaze just happened to fall on Eaton, and they looked at each other. Aoba nodded at Eaton and sent a signal over.
When Eaton saw Aoba nod, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and remembered what Aoba had said earlier. The big stone hanging in his heart immediately fell down.
The belief that was firm just now suddenly relaxed, and a wavering idea has already occurred.
"Then... then I'll go..."
Eaton said hesitantly. He admitted that he was a little scared. He knew that it was not good to leave Aoba here. However, when he saw Aoba nod, he suddenly had a particular thought.
It seemed...
Aoba might have his own thoughts.
"Brother Eaton!"
Just as Eaton was about to leave, Aoba's voice suddenly rang out. His line of sight focused on Eaton's eyes from a distance.
"You go home and wait for me."
When Aoba said this, his voice was loud and clear. Everyone present was shocked.
Hiruzen's eyes tightened slightly. He vaguely felt something was wrong here, but he could not say it now. He was not very clear why this mysterious medical ninja in front of him wanted to be like them and send away Eaton, his only acquaintance.
Konohagakure's two advisors, Koharu and Homura, looked at each other. They could see the shock in each other's eyes. When they discussed it in advance, they thought that this mysterious medical ninja would not dare to come or that he would not dare to face them alone. Now, it was far more generous than they had imagined.
As for Eaton, he was stunned for a moment. He did not know why Aoba had sent him out so far. This way, he would have no way to help at all.
However, this thought had only just emerged in his mind. It was immediately withdrawn. He suddenly realized a point in his mind that Aoba had paved his way out before he came.
The reverse summoning scroll was still in his home.
The scroll had yet to be opened.
It was in an unusable state.
Now, as long as he returned home and opened the reverse summoning scroll, Aoba could use the summoning technique on the scroll to reverse summon his body and escape from this place.
In that case...
Eaton immediately realized an important thing. As long as he could return home at a very fast speed and open this reverse summoning scroll, he would have the opportunity to let Aoba directly return to his home through the reverse summoning method.
'Right!'
'That should be it!'
'Aoba said to wait at home!'
'This is a secret message!'
Eaton immediately understood what Aoba meant. Then, he thought of how Aoba had given him the reverse summoning scroll in his home. Everything had been laid out.
Perhaps...
At that time, Aoba did not say it because he was curious if Konohagakure's higher-ups would really attack him!
This could be considered saving face!
"I understand!"
After thinking it through, Eaton immediately nodded and walked out of the door, preparing to return to his own home.
This kind of scene once again attracted the attention of Hiruzen and the two advisors. It made them even more surprised.
What was going on?
One dared to say that!
One really dared to do it!
Are they so unguarded?
Under the gaze of Hiruzen and the two advisors, Eaton directly left the room where Danzo was and left just like that!
Creak~
Eaton pushed the door open and walked out of the room without any hesitation.
Bang!
After Eaton left, he slammed the door shut.
It could be seen that he had used a lot of strength to close the door this time. It could be said that he was deliberately using this method to close the door.
The heavy sound was like Eaton was venting the dissatisfaction in his heart and the powerlessness he felt when faced with such unfair treatment.
Step, step, step, step...
The footsteps that even the people in the room could clearly hear came from outside the door. Eaton had already left. It could be said that he did not stay for a moment.
"..."
Hiruzen looked at the two advisors, and the two advisors also looked at Hiruzen at the same time.
At this moment, a huge question mark appeared in the minds of the three people. They could not guess what the two people were planning.
However, Hiruzen still nodded.
"Now, let's treat Danzo's condition!"
Hiruzen's tone was low and deep. His voice was very magnetic. It was obvious that he was talking to Aoba. As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Aoba.
"Okay."
Aoba nodded silently. His whole body looked extremely calm. It seemed that he did not care about these three people at all.
...
After Eaton understood the meaning of Aoba's instructions, he immediately walked out of Hokage Building and toward his own home.
Just as he stepped out of the building. He immediately felt that many Hokage's Anbu were around, shuttling through the roofs and watching his every move.
This was not because his perception was good. Mainly in this spacious street.
Now was the time of war. There were few people on the street. He walked alone in the middle of the road. As he moved forward quickly, those Anbu had to exchange positions faster if they wanted to follow.
The street was not a forest. There weren't that many bunkers at all. In addition, they had to change positions frequently. There was no way to hide their specific position too clearly. It was very easy to expose the location and was detected by Eaton.
"Heh."
Eaton could not help but sneer when he felt these Hokage's Anbu who was following behind him and observing him. The corners of his slightly curled lips were full of ridicule.
'Is this Konohagakure's higher-ups?'
'Is this Konohagakure's Hokage?'
Eaton began to doubt what he had felt back then. In fact, he had always known a secret. He had never mentioned it to anyone.
That was before he became Konohagakure Intelligence Division's Captain. At that time, the Konohagakure Intelligence Division's Captain was his teacher.
The teacher who taught him was originally not Konohagakure Intelligence Division's Captain. The previous division captain suddenly disappeared, which made his teacher become the division captain.
After his teacher became Konohagakure Intelligence Division's Captain, his status also rose. Finally, after his teacher passed away, Danzo appointed him as the next division captain.
It was precisely because of all these things. Eaton felt that he should be grateful to Danzo. However, according to the hidden meaning behind what his teacher had said to him...
In the past, the Konohagakure Intelligence Division's Captain was assassinated because they were unwilling to listen to the Third Hokage's orders.
However, there was no place to verify these things.
Eaton understood that his teacher had used Konohagakure Intelligence Division's power to help the Third Hokage fight for the position of Hokage. This also meant that he could also help Tsunade fight for the position of Hokage in the future.
Even if Tsunade was the Third Hokage's student.
However, in the hearts of Konohagakure, including Eaton himself, Tsunade was the one with the most roots in Konohagakure, the granddaughter of the First Hokage Senju Hashirama.
She was one of the few descendants of the Senju clan in the village!
She could completely inherit the position of Hokage!
You must know...
It was not because Tsunade was Hiruzen's student that she had such a huge political bonus.
It was the exact opposite.
Because Hiruzen was Tsunade's teacher, he had built a relationship with the Senju clan and connected the Sarutobi clan with the Senju clan.
From a certain perspective, this was also one of the reasons why Hiruzen accepted Tsunade as his student.
The pace of Eaton's footsteps became faster and faster. He simply did not care about the surrounding ninjas who were following him. Right now, he only had one thought in his mind: to return to his home and open the scroll to create a passage for Aoba to leave at any time.
...
In Danzo's room.
After hearing Hiruzen's words, Aoba raised his right hand and pressed toward Danzo's chest.
Hum!
A layer of hazy green light suddenly appeared on the palm of Aoba's right hand. He used the medical ninjutsu, Shosen Jutsu(Mystical Palm Technique).
The gentle chakra of Shosen Jutsu(Mystical Palm Technique) directly covered Danzo's body and flow into the position of Danzo's chest. He immediately felt resistance.
It was a seal.
The corners of Aoba's mouth slightly curled up behind the mask.
Right now, he felt that these three people were quite interesting. They had specially set up a seal on Danzo's body to seal him up. There were no problems with his body and no harm at all. It could be said that they had brazenly pulled him over.
However, Aoba knew this, but he pretended that he didn't know it. He didn't care about it at all. He directly controlled Shosen Jutsu(Mystical Palm Technique)'s chakra radiance to rush towards the seal.
Snapped Snapped Snapped...
The seal within Danzo's body suddenly emitted a series of sounds. After being unlocked in sequence, it suddenly lost its effectiveness. The remaining chakra would gradually dissipate along with the circulation of Danzo's blood.
"It's done."
Aoba slowly withdrew his hand. What he did was not treatment at all, but to remove a seal.
This made him feel rather fortunate. Even if they had placed a seal on Danzo, they still hadn't discovered the Kinkoju no Fuda(Forbidden Individual Curse Tag) in his heart.
Otherwise, things would have become even more serious, and it could even be said that it would reach a level where it would be difficult to clean up.
When Aoba saw that there were no problems with Danzo and that there was only one seal, he was already very clear.
The three people in front of him. They were going to lay their cards on the table. This was the last aftersale. There would not be a next time.
After all, according to normal logic. If there was a medical problem, this condition was likely to be repeated, and they could continue to call him for this reason again and again.
But if there was no medical problem, it was just to let him undo a seal. Then this man-made method could be said to be very clear. He couldn't fall for it a second time.
Obviously, Hiruzen also thinks that such a reason would not trick him out a second time.
"Can I go now?"
Aoba asked with deep meaning. Now he wanted to see what the three people were going to do. As long as they didn't lay their cards on the table, he wouldn't say anything and treat Danzo as if he were treating him through medical ninjutsu.
Wasn't it just acting?!
This was something that Aoba was familiar with.
It wasn't a problem at all!
In terms of acting, Aoba could be said to be at the level of someone who could get an Oscar Award. Even he himself did not realize that he had such talent.
If that was the case.
In the past, he should have developed into an art school in the real world. In the end, he could step into the entertainment industry and finally became an entertainment tycoon and became a movie star. This was also an uncertain matter.
After saying this, Aoba immediately prepared to leave. It was as if there was no seal at all.
"Wait!"
Right at this moment, Hiruzen's voice slowly rang out and clearly entered his ears.
"Is there anything else?" Aoba stood beside Danzo. He stood there without moving. After all, there was still Danzo next to him. He could completely be used as a hostage. He was not afraid of Hiruzen playing hard.
"I have a few questions I want to ask you."
Hiruzen walked toward Aoba step by step. As he walked forward, the two advisors, Koharu and Homura, retreated.
The current situation was much more ideal than the last time.
Last time, Koharu was the only one here. She wanted to block Aoba but was tricked.
Now, it was the three of them who had been scheming. When they came here, they had already made the arrangements. There would be no big mistakes. In this way, there would be no problems at all. Everything was under their control.
In addition to the departure of Eaton, which was far beyond their expectations. But it still made their hearts relax to a different degree.
It was precisely because of this relaxation that Hiruzen became calm when talking to Aoba. After all, in their eyes, the situation here was under their control.
As Koharu and Homura made space for the other side, the person closest to Aoba was Danzo. It looked like they had left some space for Aoba so that he would not be so nervous.
But...
In fact, Homura and Koharu had already blocked the path to the side. This made Aoba have no choice but to stay in this room.
If he wanted to get out. He must get their consent.
"What's the problem?"
Aoba sat back down on the chair next to Danzo's bed and looked at Hiruzen fearlessly. In fact, he was also very curious. He was just a medical ninja who cured Danzo. Why were Hiruzen and the others so nervous? Could he, a medical ninja, pose a threat to Konohagakure?
This obviously did not make sense!
What's more...
Aoba read Danzo's memory during this period of time.
At least in the time before Hiruzen took over as the Hokage, Hiruzen was a gentleman and had a hundred percent trust in Danzo. It was as if the two of them had accomplished a magnificent feat together.
And in the follow-up plot that Aoba himself learned about, no matter what outrageous things Danzo had done, he would always be forgiven by Hiruzen.
Therefore, Aoba felt that he had saved Danzo and caused Hiruzen to be dissatisfied. This situation also did not make sense. He didn't know why Hiruzen treated him like this.
"What's your name?"
Hiruzen's question was very direct, and it was not too much to describe it straight to the point. It made even Aoba smile.
'Such a dumb question!'
'There's no need to ask!'
Aoba stared deeply at Hiruzen. Without saying a word, the smile in his eyes showed his answer.
"What's your name?"
Hiruzen asked again. His attitude became even more determined. Just now, he felt Aoba's eyes, which made him very unhappy.
'What do you mean?'
'Have you seen the situation clearly?'
'You are already trapped here!'
'If you cooperate well, you might be able to get out, but now you are still putting on such a posture!'
All of a sudden, Hiruzen's eyes became serious.
"Sigh."
When Aoba heard Hiruzen ask for the second time, the light in his eyes changed, revealing an impatient expression.
After that, Aoba slowly raised his right hand and poked at his mask.
One time.
Two times.
Three times.
Aoba poked the mask three times, still not saying a word, but the meaning was very obvious.
I wore a mask and did not reveal my identity. Yet you asked me my name. Are you stupid or not?
Aoba only used the movement of his limbs and did not say superfluous words. He did not want to answer this question, so he would not answer it.
"What is your name?"
Hiruzen asked Aoba for the third time. After he said this sentence, his whole body surged with a strong sense of oppression, and the strong momentum seemed to crush Aoba.
"Hokage-sama, my time is very precious. If you have no other questions, then I will leave." Aoba said indifferently. Then, he stood up and made a gesture of wanting to leave.
"Are you not willing to tell me?"
Hiruzen narrowed his eyes slightly. He would not attack Aoba because he had to maintain his bright image. However, this did not mean that he had no other choice.
As soon as Hiruzen said this. Homura, who was standing at the side, looked at Aoba. Those calm eyes reflected rays of light through the crystal lens of the glasses, giving people a fierce feeling as if he could attack Aoba at any time.
"I don't want to answer this question."
Aoba said indifferently. He saw Homura, ready to attack at any time, and his heart had no worry. Even if he did not know what kind of skills Homura had, he knew that as long as he wanted to leave, he could go at any time.
"But..."
Aoba retracted his gaze from Homura and turned to look at Hiruzen, who was not far away. He changed the topic.
"I have a question to ask you," Aoba said calmly.
"What question?" Hiruzen frowned. His question had not been answered, but now the other party asked him a question, which made him feel disrespected. However, he was still curious about what kind of question this mysterious medical ninja would ask.
"Why are you so interested in me?" Aoba stared at Hiruzen and asked. This was the question in his heart. He felt that even if he wanted to hide his identity, the other party did not have to find him so urgently. How long has it been?
"Don't you know?" Hiruzen's tone suddenly became cold.
"I'm not sure." Aoba shook his head directly. It was not that he was arguing with Hiruzen, but he really did not understand what the other party wanted to say.
"Hahahahaha..."
When Hiruzen saw Aoba's appearance, he immediately raised his head and laughed, filled with ridicule.
"Since you are pretending to be stupid, then I might as well argue with you. Do you know what kind of injury Danzo suffered?" Hiruzen asked Aoba.
"Of course, I know. I cured Danzo-sama. If I didn't cure his injury, he would become crippled." Aoba said lightly.
"I mean, just now!" Hiruzen frowned even more. He felt that the mysterious medical ninja in front of him was deliberately angering him.
"The body seal?" Aoba hesitated for a moment, but he still told them the details. Anyway, he had to say everything to them. This was something that Hiruzen and the others had done. There was no point in hiding it now. It was better to speak frankly.
"Since you know about the body seal, you should know the origin of this seal, right?" Hiruzen said meaningfully. From his tone, it seemed he wanted to expose Aoba's lies.
"Uzumaki Clan," Aoba said indifferently. When he spoke up to here, he still couldn't clearly feel what Hiruzen meant.
"Hahahaha, you should admit it yourself. Only the people of the Uzumaki Clan know this seal. I only learned a little from Mito-sama before I was able to learn a little. In the entire ninja world, I can't find a single person who can easily undo the seal like you. Then why don't you tell me your identity?" Hiruzen stared at Aoba in front of him. When he finished speaking, he narrowed his eyes slightly and withdrew the light in his eyes. He asked in a cold voice, "What's your name?"
"So that's how it is!"
After listening to Hiruzen's explanation, Aoba immediately understood where the problem was.
A sealing technique.
He learned a lot of sealing techniques.
A complete book about Uzumaki clan seals was among the books given by Minato from Kushina. Kushina probably has yet to show it to anyone. Perhaps, even Kushina didn't think Aoba could learn the sealing technique in the book.
Through Hiruzen's performance. He also thought of Koharu's expression that day. He understood it all at once.
It seemed they had mistaken him for a member of the Uzumaki Clan.
From the soul imprisonment seal, he had used while treating Danzo's injuries at the very beginning to the fact that he could easily undo the Uzumaki Clan's body seal on Danzo just now.
These conditions all pointed him to the Uzumaki Clan.
It was enough to make Hiruzen and the two advisors mistakenly think he was a descendant of the Uzumaki Clan.
This was reasonable.
After hearing Hiruzen's words, Aoba's mind moved, and he immediately thought of an idea.
Indeed, he could create the identity of a descendant of the Uzumaki Clan.
The identity he used was from a dead person, and they were from the other major villages. As for Konohagakure, there was almost no identity that he could use.
His body itself was Sage Body, possessing dense chakra and extremely strong vitality, so there was basically no difficulty in imitating the Uzumaki Clan's identity.
Then...
What name should he use?
After this thought appeared in Aoba's mind, he couldn't think of any name in a short period of time, so he simply put this thought aside and turned back to talk since it was necessary to find an authentic identity from the Uzumaki Clan.
Then it can't be admitted now.
This was also why there was no need to rush to think of a name.
After thinking for a moment, Aoba immediately shook his head.
"I understand!"
"Hokage-sama!"
"You think I am a member of the Uzumaki Clan?"
"You are wrong!"
"I am not!"
Aoba denied one sentence after another. His tone was firm, and there was nothing against his heart. After all, everything he said now was the truth. There was no need to lie at all.
However, this truth when entered Hiruzen's ears. He felt that Aoba deliberately denied his identity.
In addition to the change in Aoba's eyes just now, it completely fell into Hiruzen's eyes, which were carefully staring at him.
This made Hiruzen believe that he had guessed the identity of this mysterious medical ninja in front of him. It was because he had guessed it; he was flustered and denied it.
This was a very normal reaction.
"If there is nothing else, I have to leave. My time is very precious. I can't continue to waste it here." Aoba put on a very eager intention to leave to verify the conjecture in Hiruzen's heart. This was also his method. There was no need to admit it personally. As long as the other party thought you were, this identity would be completely solidified.
"Why did you come to Konohagakure?" Hiruzen's tone became low. His eyes were still fixed on Aoba, but there was a hint of questioning in his eyes. He had a different feeling.
En?
After hearing Hiruzen's words, Aoba was speechless.
What did this mean?
What was this attitude?
Something was wrong!
Logically speaking...
The Uzumaki Clan had always been on good terms with Konohagakure, and they had a marriage relationship with the Senju Clan.
Even Konohagakure's ninja clothes still had the Uzumaki Clan's symbol.
According to Hiruzen's deduction. He was a member of the Uzumaki Clan.
Then...
Couldn't the people of the Uzumaki Clan come to Konohagakure?
What was the purpose of coming?
As a village with a good relationship with the Uzumaki Clan, was there any problem with protecting the descendants of the Uzumaki Clan?
Small question marks popped up in Aoba's head. He felt that he had missed something. He did not know much about the Uzumaki Clan in the original work.
The people he knew about the Uzumaki Clan were Uzumaki Mito and Uzumaki Kushina. Among them, Kushina was still alive and was in Konohagakure.
For those with red hair, such as Nagato, Karin, etc., there was no clear evidence that they were from the Uzumaki clan, but it can be inferred from other conditions. However, here came the problem.
A clan that was extremely skilled in sealing technique.
Why did it disappear just like that?
What had happened to them?
Why did Hiruzen's reaction when he saw the descendants of the Uzumaki Clan not a feeling of surprise but rather a vigilant question about why he had come to Konohagakure?
There was definitely a problem!
If Aoba could completely flip through Danzo's memories, he believed the answer to these questions could be found in Danzo's memories.
"I don't have any purpose." Aoba slowly opened his mouth. Every word he said now was repeated practice in his mind. He tried to make it sound vague, making Hiruzen feel that it matched his thoughts.
"Are you here to look for Kushina?" Hiruzen directly ignored the words that Aoba said. He did not think that Aoba had no purpose at all.
Through Aoba's hand, he could see that this person was a descendant of the Uzumaki Clan and a well-known figure in the clan. Such a person's whole body was full of secrets.
"No." Aoba shook his head lightly. As he listened to Hiruzen, he guessed in his heart. The Uzumaki Clan matter; Kushina might know something.
"How many people are there in your forces?" Hiruzen asked again. He directly ignored Aoba's answer because he did not believe Aoba at all.
"No one." Aoba shook his head again. What he said was true, but he found a strange phenomenon. When he told the truth, no one believed it. But when he told a lie, everyone believed it.
"I knew you wouldn't say anything." Hiruzen laughed coldly, then took a step back to make way.
"You can go!"
"Don't come to Konohagakure again!"
"Don't carry the surname of the Uzumaki Clan anymore!"
"Change a name that can conceal your identity!"
"From now on, live a life of anonymity!"
Hiruzen slowly said. Although Aoba had denied everything, he had already confirmed in his heart that Aoba was a descendant of the Uzumaki Clan.
Just after he confirmed it. The previous aggressive and imposing tone had completely disappeared. Instead, it was a tone that sounded very benevolent.
"Don't you want to kill me?"
Aoba suddenly asked boldly. He was just testing the waters. He did not know what kind of problem had occurred between the Uzumaki Clan and Konohagakure, but he could feel that there was a problem from Hiruzen's expression.
Since that was the case. Then he would take the opportunity to ask. If he waited until he returned to flip Danzo's memories, it would take a long time before he could find clues about the Uzumaki Clan.
After all, there were too many things in Danzo's memory!
However, if he didn't say it at this time. Even if he successfully left, there would still be some doubts in his heart.
Hiruzen had racked his brains to find him here again. It couldn't be just to confirm whether he was a descendant of the Uzumaki Clan.
Moreover, judging from the posture that the two advisors had put on, it was obvious that they were prepared for battle.
Did Konohagakure's higher-ups need to make such preparations when encountering the members of the Uzumaki Clan?
As soon as Aoba said these words. The faces of Konohagakure's two advisors, Koharu and Homura, changed. They tightly clenched their hands, and their eyes became even sharper.
Hiruzen concealed it very well; his expression almost didn't change, and his aura didn't fluctuate.
However, there were only three people here. Aoba even tried his best to sense the chakra fluctuations in their bodies. Through the different changes in these three people.
It made him realize...
This question hit the nail on the head.
After hearing Aoba's words, Hiruzen was silent for a while; a kind smile appeared.
"As long as you don't harm Konohagakure, I naturally won't kill you. No matter what happened in the past, in the end, you saved Danzo." Hiruzen's voice slowly sounded. After speaking, he put his hands behind his back and walked toward the door. He left his back to Aoba and said, "You can leave now!"
When Aoba saw Hiruzen's back. This could be said to be full of flaws.
But...
He had no intention of attacking Hiruzen at all but this caused another thought to arise in his heart.
If...
What if Hiruzen felt that he had this intention?
Then wasn't this just deliberately trying to sell a flaw?
Aoba turned to look at Danzo. It seemed that Hiruzen was still afraid that something would happen to Danzo!
If there was a battle now. Then Danzo would be a hostage, and if Hiruzen sold a flaw and caused him to take the bait… then Hiruzen himself acted as the hostage!
Aoba suddenly realized!
This might not be because Hiruzen was being kind!
It was because of the deep love Hiruzen had for Danzo...
