“Someone is coming!”

At this time, the guard brought in a young man and tied him to a wooden pillar.

He gave a few simple instructions to Aoba before leaving.

According to the guard’s instructions.

This young man was a businessman from outside the village who came to Konoha to do business.

When he was doing business, he had a dispute with Konohagakure’s people.

Then they started a fight.

Finally, Konoha Military Police Force arrested him.

Now, he was sent to Konohagakure Intelligence Division for interrogation.

This young man was not very old and looked to be only twenty-two or twenty-three years old, about the same age as Fugaku.

“I hit him!”

“Because I don’t like him!”

“Every time I pay, he finds fault in it!”

“If I don’t teach him a lesson, my heart will not be contented!”

“Can I write the confession letter now? Just take it out. Don’t waste my time. I still have to make money after paying the penalty!”

The young man said coldly. Was it his first time here? His temper had always been very irritable, so he was often taken in.

However.

Konohagakure’s law was different for the people in the village and the people outside the village.

If someone in the village fought, they would usually be locked up for a few days and carried out ideological education, hoping that they would not cause trouble again after going out.

However, if it were someone outside the village, they would be fined. As long as they paid enough fines, they would not be punished or locked up.

After all, in this chaotic ninja world.

Money was very important!

Because of this.

Some wealthy merchants could live with their heads held high!

They could be the financial backer or the employers of some ninjas to achieve their goals through money.

Although this young man was not a particularly rich existence, he was also a businessman. He had money and liked to use the money to establish relationships. He also understood how to settle things with money.

Aoba raised his eyes and looked at the young man indifferently. He did not say a word and was still thinking about the problem he was thinking about just now.

For now.

The relationship between Danzo and Uchiha was already in a clear state.

It had nothing to do with subtlety.

However.

What happened to Kumogakure’s ninja?

Did they run away?

Or did they stay?

Or killed?

Aoba had no accurate information about the movements of those people and had no way to obtain them.

“Hey, are you deaf? Didn’t you hear me? Give me the paper to write the confession letter!”

The young man immediately roared at Aoba, his eyes full of contempt.

In his eyes.

Aoba was just a mouse in the dark tunnel.

He could only do these dirty things.

He could not see the light at all.

“Oh?”

Aoba looked up at the young man again. His dark eyes focused on the young man’s face through the eye hole of the mask.

“Alright.”

“I wanted to lock you up quietly and let you go.”

“Since your voice is so loud,”

“I think it’s necessary to study your vocal cords.”

As Aoba spoke, he slowly got up and walked towards the young man.

“What are you doing?”

The young man looked at Aoba and his tone was still questioning.

This time.

Aoba ignored the young man.

Instead, he walked directly to the latter.

“Trust me, you will walk out of here unharmed. But before that, I need to teach you a lesson.”

After saying that.

Aoba raised his right hand.

A sharp blue chakra appeared on his fingertips.

It was Chakura no Mesu(Chakra Scalpel).

“What are you going to do?”

The youth’s voice finally became frightened. This Konohagakure Intelligence Division Ninja in front of him was completely different from the one he had come into contact with before, giving him a very terrifying feeling.

Just as the youth’s voice fell.

Aoba stretched out his left hand and pressed it on the youth’s head. His right hand controlled Chakura no Mesu(Chakra Scalpel) to instantly cut through the latter’s throat.

However, he controlled Chakura no Mesu(Chakra Scalpel)’s chakra very carefully and continuously doing extremely precise operations on the youth’s throat.

Almost in an instant.

Aoba cut open the youth’s throat then cut off the youth’s vocal cords from the throat. The blood-colored muscle fibers fell on the palm of his hand.

After that.

Aoba raise his left hand and pressed towards the youth’s throat. A gentle chakra covered the youth’s throat, directly making the youth’s throat recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.

“Wu… Wu… Wu… Wu…”

The young man widened his eyes. Tears flowed down uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes. When he was cut just now, he thought that he was going to die. He had already smelled the scent of death.

An instant pain directly invaded his soul.

He wanted to scream.

He wanted to roar.

But he found that he couldn’t make a sound.

His throat seemed to be choked by someone, and he felt extremely painful.

What happened?

What happened?

Why can’t he speak?

What did he do to him?

What the hell was he trying to do?

The young man was roaring in his heart. He wanted to say something, but he couldn’t make a sound at all.

“This is your vocal cords.”

Aoba raised his hand. There were two bloody muscle fibers in his palm.

When the young man saw this scene, he was shocked.

He was so scared that he almost fainted.

Then he wanted to say something, but he was unable to say any specific words. However, from the expression on his face, he seemed to be begging Aoba.

“Don’t worry. I said that you will go out unharmed. It’s just that I want you to be quiet now.”

After Aoba finished speaking, he raised his right hand and touched the young man’s head.

“Ding Dong! Memory Reading Succesful! Reward: Chakra Increase!”

Accompanied by a crisp electronic prompt, the young man’s memories were added to Aoba’s mind.

Instantly.

Aoba immediately went through the young man’s memories.

A merchant from the land of hot water.

He had a bad temper.

He was more aggressive.

Every time he fought, he was best at using his right fist!

The reason why he was brought along this time was that he suddenly punched a person’s face with his right fist, causing a fight.

“Okay.”

“Your right hand is very developed!”

“Let me study it…”

As Aoba spoke, under the gaze of the young man, he raised his right hand with the Chakura no Mesu(Chakra Scalpel) and slashed at the young man’s right hand.

For a moment.

The young man widened his eyes.

His eyes were filled with horror.

Extremely scared!

…

At the same time.

In the Hokage office.

Danzo, who was dressed in his green shirt, stood in front of Third Hokage, Hiruzen. His expression was extremely serious.

“What exactly happened last night?” Hiruzen picked up the pipe, held it in his mouth, and slowly lit it up. From his tone and movements, he was still very calm.

“I am still investigating the specific situation, but I can be sure that I was set up by Yuta, but I am not very sure about the relationship between Yuta and Uchiha. It seems that it is not as close as I imagined.” Danzo replied in a deep voice.

“I’m not asking about you. I’m asking about what happened last night. What happened to those Kumogakure’s ninja?” Hiruzen took a deep breath and focused his gaze on Danzo.

“I don’t know why those Kumogakure’s ninjas suddenly appeared in Konohagakure. This means that the barrier division and Konoha Military Police Force have problems.” Danzo immediately threw the blame.

“Did you catch them?” Hiruzen asked in a bad mood.

“I don’t know. That guy Akaru sealed the news very well. I sent people to inquire a few times, but they couldn’t find out.” After Danzo finished speaking, he pondered for a bit and said, “Sarutobi, I think we should develop a spy that can go deep into the Uchiha clan. Otherwise, our information about the Uchiha clan is too blocked. If they have any thoughts of rebellion, we have no way of knowing.”

“You also know what the situation of the Uchiha clan is. The entire clan lives in that specific area. There are no other clans around. The entrance to the Uchiha clan is narrow, and there is only a single long alley. If outsiders enter, they will definitely be discovered. Moreover, even if the entire Uchiha clan has internal differences, the outside world is a community of interests. This is a clan left from the Warring States Era. It is impossible to develop an Uchiha who can work for the village as a spy!” Hirizuen shook his head and said. He had studied deeply about the clan power in the village. Most of the clans changed their heads because of this and announced that they would accept Third Hokage’s rule. However, only the Uchiha clan, like a small village in the village, handled their own internal affairs.

“Uchiha is a big clan. There will always be a few unfilial sons.” Danzo said indifferently, “Let me look for this.”

“If we can develop a spy within Uchiha, it will definitely be a great thing for the village. Right now, we know too little about the Uchiha clan. The only one who can conduct an investigation is still in the Konoha Military Police Force which is in hands of the Uchiha clan. This makes it impossible for us to get information about the Uchiha clan.” Hiruzen said in a low voice. Although he had not had the heart to destroyed this Uchiha clan. It did not prevent him from treating this clan, which was very difficult to control, as a thorn in his side.

“Sarutobi, now we must find Yuta. This person knows too much. He is too dangerous. If we did not get rid of this person, my heart will be uneasy!” When Danzo saw the information transmitted by Tatsuma in a special way, he was already flustered in his heart.

“The matter of finding someone still needs you to do it.” Hiruzen was not as concerned as Danzo.

Step, step, step…

At this moment.

Hurried footsteps sounded outside the door.

A ninja in charge of guarding ran over and immediately knelt down on one knee at the door.

“Third Hokage-sama, Konoha Military Police Force’s Akaru is here!” The guard reported.

“Let him in.”

Hiruzen nodded and then looked at Danzo. He smiled and said, “It seems that the information about Kumogakure’s ninjas has been sent over.”

“Sarutobi, I will go first. You guys can talk.”

Danzo did not want to have any contact with Akaru here now. Compared to what happened last night, he cared more about the whereabouts of Yuta.

Then.

Danzo turned around and left the office.

The moment Danzo walked out of the office, a figure came from the corner.

It was Akaru!

Danzo saw Akaru.

Akaru also saw Danzo.

The two of them instantly looked at each other, and their gazes were focused on each other all the time.

Of course.

The time they looked at each other was short.

As the two of them moved, the two of them passed each other in the corridor.

No one spoke to each other.

Everything was in silence.

Danzo walked along the corridor to the end, then turned the corner and left.

Akaru walked into the office.

“Third Hokage-sama, I want to report to you about the Kumogakure intruders.”
