Reborn in Konoha as the Anbu Torturer
Chapter 161: Each Other Has His Own Thoughts!Akaru's voice echoed in the office, clearly transmitted into the ears of Hiruzen.
At this moment.
There were only the two of them in the office.
Hiruzen still had the smoking pipe in his mouth while his eyes stare at Akaru who came in.
"What exactly happened yesterday? Tell me in detail!" Hiruzen took a deep breath and said slowly.
"Yes!"
Akaru nodded. There was no expression on his indifferent face; he was almost expressionless.
"Last night, we, Konoha Military Police Force, found Kumogakure ninjas in the western forest. After a desperate fight, we killed seven Kumogakure Chunin and captured two Kumogakure Jonin. However, the rest of the people were escaped." Akaru reported.
"You actually caught a Kumogakure Jonin!" Hiruzen's eyes suddenly lit up. After that, he panicked a little; after all, he knew that Kumogakure was a powerful ninja village right now. If he could keep the existing peace without provoking them, it would be better not to provoke them.
"Yes, we've caught them, but we haven't decided what to do to them. We are waiting for Third Hokage-sama's instructions," Akaru said."If the corpse...then just dispose of it!" Hiruzen took another puff in his smoking pipe and said, "As for those two Jonins, wait for me to negotiate with Kumogakure. Don't touch them for the time being."
"Yes." Akaru nodded.
"Why did you suddenly run to the western forest yesterday?" Hiruzen did not continue about Kumogakure's matter, nor did he give Akaru any follow-up instructions about how to deal with them. Instead, he turned to ask why the Uchiha clan suddenly appeared in that location.
"I have received a secret report," Akaru said in a low voice. He did not say Kenji's name. He had already felt doubt and distrust from Hiruzen; then, he would hold some information about it. Moreover, he had not figured out Kenji's current situation and location. Naturally, he would not report it to Hiruzen.
"It's that simple?" Hiruzen frowned. When he asked Danzo why he went to the western forest, Danzo said the same thing. Now, Akaru said the same thing. If he was not sure that Danzo had not discussed it with Akaru, he would think that the two of them had discussed how to answer beforehand.
"It's that simple." Akaru nodded. He did not intend to tell Hiruzen the details. After he said this, he did not give Hiruzen a chance to ask again. Instead, he took the initiative to ask, "There are still many doubts about Kumogakure's invasion of Konoha.
Should we send those two Jonins to Konohagakure Intelligence Division for interrogation? We do not know their purpose. Moreover, we have not found out what happened to the Jonin who died yesterday."
"There is no need to rush this matter. Those Kumogakure Jonin, do not harm them for the time being." Hiruzen waved his hand. What he wanted now was the village's peace, not to start a war with Kumogakure.
"Okay." Akaru nodded. His expression could not help but become even uglier. He found that Hiruzen had never cared about Uchiha's clan casualties in this matter.
"By the way, Akaru, have you found any information about Yuta?" Hiruzen suddenly asked.
"Third Hokage-sama, Danzo-sama has always been responsible for this investigation. It is not the scope of our investigation, and we don't have the right to investigate." Akaru stared at Hiruzen. He could clearly feel that Hiruzen was partial to Danzo. From the time he gave the authority for Yuta's investigation to Danzo, he had been very clear; he seemed afraid that they would find something that they should not find out, so he would not let them investigate at all.
"I know. This matter is temporarily settled. You can go back and wait for the news. After I communicate with Kumogakure, I will give you a way to deal with it." Hiruzen said in a flat tone.
"Yes!"
Akaru responded and then left the office.
After he walked out of the door of the Hokage's office, his face became extremely gloomy, and he was extremely disappointed with Hiruzen in his heart.
He did not care about their clan casualties at all!
Each and every one of them did not care about the purpose of Kumogakure's ninja invasion of Konohagakure!
They did not care about the sudden death of Kumogakure Jonin at all!
In Akaru's opinion...
Hiruzen was only concerned about how Danzo was framed into the west forest!
"Damn it!"
Akaru muttered discontentedly. He immediately realized that it was the right choice to hold back information and could still secretly investigate many things.
...
In the Hokage's office.
Hiruzen sat on the chair at his desk and took a scroll from the drawer.
He slowly opened the scroll.
He then looked at the words written on it.
"It seems that the heart of the Uchiha clan is no longer on my side. It is imperative to develop a spy that can provide information to the village!"
Hiruzen looked at the words on the scroll. While reading the words carefully, he was thinking about the solution behind them.
...
Akaru angrily returned to the Konoha Military Police Force's office.
Not long after he sat down.
Fugaku came.
"Captain, I have something important to tell you!" Fugaku's face was full of seriousness, and he looked very eager.
"Come in." Akaru nodded to Fugaku. He saw Fugaku's expression and was a little puzzled. He didn't know what happened to Fugaku to become like this.
"Yes!"
Fugaku stepped into Konoha Military Police Force's office. After he came in, he looked around and confirmed that Akaru was the only one in the office. Then he closed the door of the office.
"Why so serious? Do you have news about Kenji?" Akaru looked at Fugaku, and a big question mark appeared on his head.
"Yes!"
Fugaku nodded and quickly walked in Akaru's direction. In an instant, he was in front of Akaru.
"I found a clue about Kenji's disappearance!" Fugaku said in a low voice.
"Tell me quickly." Akaru became nervous.
"I followed the place that Kenji went to yesterday and found clues about Konohagakure Intelligence Division from Konoha's hospital. In the end, I found that Kenji went to look for a person named Aoba. He wanted to frame me through Aoba..."
Fugaku explained in detail how Kenji pretended to use his name to ask Aoba to go to the western forest.
After he finished talking about such a thing.
He still felt a chill down his spine.
Too vicious!
If Kenji really succeeded, not only would Aoba die, he would not have a good ending.
"Kenji actually did such a thing!" Akaru took a deep look at Fugaku. His expression was full of anger, and there was dissatisfaction in his eyes. However, there was more or less a trace of doubt in his heart, and he did not completely believe Fugaku's words.
"Yes, this is what Kenji can do. He wants to use this method to frame me. This way, my image will become worse, and then I will fall into a disadvantage in the selection of Konoha Military Police Force captain and Uchiha Clan Head in the future." Fugaku explained.
"It turns out that there is a power struggle here!" Akaru still looked deeply at Fugaku as if he wanted to see through the latter.
"Yes, fortunately, Aoba did not go. Otherwise, things would not be clear!" Fugaku breathed a sigh of relief.
"Indeed, you are the better choice!" The corners of Akaru's mouth curled up into an evil smile.
"Thank you, Captain, for your appreciation." Fugaku vaguely felt that Akaru was a bit strange, but he was not sure if his feeling was true.
"Fugaku, I have a question. You said that Kenji could frame you in this way. Then, is it possible that the missing Kenji now has been secretly harmed?" After saying this, Akaru stared at Fugaku with more meaningful eyes.
"This..." Fugaku was stunned for a moment. He could feel that there was something in Akaru's words, but he was their leader. He could not say anything excessive. He could only smile bitterly and say, "There is indeed such a possibility."
He doesn't know why.
Such a similar scene happened.
After hearing Akaru's words, the excitement in Fugaku's heart was like being poured with a basin of cold water.
The passion that had just been ignited was instantly extinguished.
For a moment.
Fugaku didn't even want to talk about the man in black and the stone tablet.
After all, there was no conclusive evidence.
And now, Akaru was actually suspecting him.
He suddenly felt that there was no need to say these things out.
However...
During this period of time, he was going to check in detail the specific information of the legendary Uchiha Madara in the history of the Uchiha clan.
It was not the kind of information that was told in a story.
Instead, it was the information recorded in the Uchiha clan's book.
He had to carefully examine every detail.
Even he could not say what kind of intuition this was. After Aoba talked about the man in black and Madara-sama, he faintly felt that the legend of the Uchiha clan might not be dead.
"Alright, don't be nervous. I was teasing you. Now things are more serious. The purpose of Kumogakure's ninja invasion is not clear, and the Third Hokage does not have any clear instructions. The two Jonin we caught can't be moved at all, so do you have any ideas?" Akaru put away the smile on his face and asked Fugaku.
"Only the two Jonins can't be moved?" Fugaku immediately asked.
"You mean..." When Akaru heard the word 'only', his eyes suddenly lit up. Just now, he was angry and his thoughts were cloudy.
"That means we can touch the seven chunin corpses, right?" Fugaku immediately found a breakthrough.
"I understand what you mean. You want to find Konohagakure Intelligence Division's Sensor Ninjas to read the memories of these Ninjas and get the information we want!" Akaru nodded and said, "This method is feasible!"
"Then I will take the seven corpses to Konohagakure Intelligence Division now!" Fugaku immediately said.
"We can't take the corpse away!" Akaru shook his head and explained, "The purpose is too obvious. Go find Konohagakure Intelligence Division's Captain, Morino Eaton, and borrow a Sensor Ninja from him. Let him come to out Uchiha's clan to read their memories."
"Yes." Fugaku immediately responded.
"Remember, this matter can't be made public. The fewer people who know about it, the better!" Akaru explained.
