On the first floor of the Hokage Building.

People still didn't know what was going on.

The surging water rushed over from behind and directly hit Danzo, who was under treatment.

"Hiss..."

The cold water instantly made Danzo suck in a breath of cold air. Under the impact of the cold water, the wound caused his internal organs to twitch. The intense discomfort that emerged from his body instantly pulled him from his half-awake and hazy state.

In a split second, Danzo woke up. The scene in front of him instantly became incomparably clear. Teacher Bai was gone. What replaced was Koharu's worried face.

"..."

Danzo's pupils fiercely contracted. It wasn't that there was anything wrong with Koharu. A certain position that had been restless just now suddenly collapsed and couldn't stand up again in a short time.

The water was no longer important.

The injuries were no longer important.

Danzo wanted to return to his half-awake and hazy state as if seeing Teacher Bai.

But he could not return!

Everything could not be returned!

Danzo knew that state just now would not happen a second time. It was completely washed away by that stream of water!

All of a sudden, Danzo felt a sense of loss in his heart, and there was even an indescribable feeling of discomfort in his heart.

...

In Konohagakure Intelligence Division, Eaton Office.

After Aoba placed the soaked books on the table, he sat down on the chair and stared straight ahead, deep in thought.

There was no sun, and it was not dawn yet. Moreover, he felt that there was no need to use other methods to dry these books. That would be too fake.

This was good for now.

As for the next thing...

Aoba propped up his chin with both hands and began to flip through the Senju clansmen's memories. In any case, he was idle now, so he didn't want to go out after this matter was done. He was in a slacking state.

According to his experience.

Things should never be rushed. The faster you do it; the more things await you.

So, Aoba immersed himself in the memories of the Senju clansmen. Through these memories, he had a deeper understanding of the Senju clan.

Moreover, he wanted to understand more about the feelings after being transplanted with Hashirama's cells.

...

At this moment.

On the Hokage Rock.

Fugaku walked on the Hokage Rock with a gloomy face. His eyes had already turned red, and he lowered his head to observe the traces on the ground.

"Recently, many people have been moving above the Hokage Rock."

Fugaku squatted on the ground and pinched the soil of the Hokage Rock. He also saw some footprints and traces of Hari lying here.

When he was fighting just now, he was entangled and couldn't pull away at all. However, he could clearly hear that the voice that resounded through Konohagakure was from Gasshi.

He never thought of it.

The Gasshi who killed Sekai actually dared to come back, which was simply outrageous!

At that time, he was not able to catch up with Gasshi. Now, he was investigating Gasshi's tracks on the Hokage Rock.

As these details were presented in front of his eyes, he could already be sure that the traces on the Hokage Rock were caused by Gasshi.

Now he had a very good reason to suspect that Gasshi was still in Konohagakure. After all, Gasshi had just killed Hari, so how could he leave with Kumogakure ninjas?

"Damn it!"

"Where exactly is he hiding?"

"It really makes me feel uncomfortable!"

Fugaku clenched his fists. Just as he was about to leave, his Sharingan instantly focused on the traces not far away.

It was where Hari was lying. He had already checked it just now.

It was just...

He had discovered something that he had not noticed earlier.

Instantly, Fugaku moved closer, looking like he was going to lie on the ground.

"This..."

Fugaku could vaguely see some distorted words. It was slightly wet, and some of the soil was sticking together.

"This should be written with a tongue..."

According to the traces in this place, Fugaku immediately guessed that Hari might have been lying on the ground at that time, and his body might have been tied up.

Of course, he had no idea that Hari was already in a paralyzed state and couldn't move at all.

The words were twisted and crooked; it was not very clear.

This kind of phenomenon made Fugaku a little confused. He frowned and carefully looked at the handwriting on the ground through the Sharingan and reflected it in his brain.

Then, with his strong brain. He began to put it together, remove the thing that covered it, then make up the coherent stroke.

All of a sudden, a series of distorted words appeared in his mind again.

"Ga, shi, is..."

Fugaku frowned. Even the restored text is still not the same as the normal text. It was obvious that he could not use too much strength when writing, and it was not very convenient. In the end, it could only become like this.

"Oro, chi, maru!"

Fugaku's eyes widened as he spoke. The black pupils in his blood-red eyes shrank as if he had found out a huge secret.

Orochimaru!

Konoha Sannin!

This name should not appear here!

Instantly, Fugaku looked at the words again and removed the place that had been rubbed off. He tried to fill in the strokes again.

After filling it up again, he looked at the words.

It was still the same words, Orochimaru.

For a moment, Fugaku realized that this matter seemed to be different from what he had imagined.

Fugaku merely frowned. He half-squatted on the ground, his eyes staring at the words left behind by Hari. His right hand pinched his chin, and his pair of bright red eyes revealed a pondering gaze.

"What exactly is going on?"

"Why did Hari say that Gasshi is Orochimaru? Could it be that he discovered some secret?"

"Or is it just Hari's guess?"

"Of course, it is also possible that Hari is misleading us!"

"But..."

"Is Gasshi really related to Orochimaru?"

Fugaku's face turned extremely gloomy. His mind was already beginning to become chaotic.

He was very clear that these words left behind by Hari. It can't be used as evidence and could only be used as a reference because there was no credibility at all.

However, in his mind, he could not help but think about this matter.

This was the information left behind by Hari before he died. Either he discovered something before he died and wanted to leave this secret behind for the people who came here to see, or he wanted to frame Orochimaru...

There were only two possibilities!

Fugaku was very clear that not many people could see this thing. If he had not carefully checked and used his Sharingan, then it was possible that no one would have seen these words.

So deep in his heart. He was more inclined to believe that Hari had left this message to guide them to get close to the truth of the matter.

This could also be considered Hari's revenge.

Fugaku had been paying attention to Gasshi because Gasshi was the murderer who had killed Sekai.

However, he did not receive any news about Gasshi from the outside world.

This person seemed to have vanished into thin air. He gave off a feeling that he did not exist at all.

Fugaku once suspected that Gasshi was still in Konohagakure, but this speculation did not have any support at all, so he did not know how to continue investigating.

"If Gasshi had not left Konohagakure and not been found by Konoha Military Police Force, then it meant that someone with a higher status had protected Gasshi, or maybe Gasshi had another identity..."

"Could it be..."

"Is Gasshi really Orochimaru?"

"Is Hari trying to express that Orochimaru is pretending to be Gasshi?"

"Or is there a deeper meaning?"

The more Fugaku thought about it, the more confused he became.

Orochimaru's figure appeared in his mind. The one who would reveal an evil smile and lick his tongue whenever he saw him.

In fact, Fugaku had already felt that Orochimaru was coveting his Sharingan a long time ago.

However, he had no evidence at all.

It was just a feeling. After all, he could feel the greed in Orochimaru's eyes every time they met.

"Is it really Orochimaru?"

The more Fugaku thought about it, the more he felt that Orochimaru was suspicious. After he got some clues, he first felt that it was unrealistic. But when he thought about it subjectively, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the problem was very big.

"I remember that Orochimaru didn't appear on the battlefield."

Fugaku's thoughts started to move. He gradually realized that he didn't see Orochimaru in the battle just now. He didn't know where Orochimaru was.

In addition to the words left behind by Hari. Then it seemed to be able to match.

"If Orochimaru disguised as Gasshi, then everything makes sense. I remember that Orochimaru had a very powerful camouflage technique. He pretends to be Gasshi and then kills Hari!"

Fugaku had already begun to make inferences. Although there was no evidence to support it, he felt that what he said was quite reasonable and completely reasonable.

"Then..."

"If Gasshi is Orochimaru in disguise."

"It makes sense why Gasshi did not attack ordinary people in Konohagakure."

"He only attacked Sekai!"

"The most important thing is..."

"Sekai's eyes were taken away!"

Fugaku's eyes flashed with anger. Now, people had forgotten that Gasshi had taken Sekai's eyes. Only he still remembered because he was an Uchiha, and they valued the Sharingan very much.

Except for him, others only know that Gasshi killed Uchiha Sekai. In addition, they had entered the Third Ninja World War; it was normal for ninjas to fight and die.

Gradually.

The anger that people felt toward Gasshi had already begun to fade.

Fugaku could clearly feel this. Sometimes, he would feel anger, but most of it was deep helplessness. People were forgetful. As long as it doesn't happen to them, it will pass after a period of time.

No one would always remember who the enemy who had killed Sekai was!

No one would think that Gasshi had killed Sekai when they saw him. The Ninja World was fighting and killing every day. People were killing people every day.

But…

If Gasshi was Orochimaru in disguise, his goal from beginning to end was to steal Sekai's eyes.

Or…

If Sekai hadn't rushed so fast!

He might be the one who died there, and his eyes were stolen!

The more Fugaku thought about it, the more he felt that this matter had something to do with Orochimaru. Especially after Sekai died, his eyes were casually taken away, and he had not even looked at the things on his body.

This made things feel very obvious all of a sudden. The other party was coming for the Sharingan. Regardless of whether it was Gasshi or Orochimaru, they had already regarded Sekai's Sharingan as their most precious asset.

There was no doubt about this!

Fugaku stood on the Hokage Rock, his mind filled with many things. Finally, he began to point all the clues to Orochimaru, and his face was getting darker and darker.

Gradually, he felt that the situation here was getting more and more complicated.

After that, Fugaku repeatedly searched the area above Hokage Rock. In the end, he confirmed that he would not find any other clues.

Then, he left this place.

Apart from Fugaku, no one else had discovered anything, and no one knew what had happened.

This was something that Aoba had never imagined and was completely out of his expectations. At that time, his advanced paper clone was right beside Hari, but his attention was all on the Third Raikage below. He had not expected that the paralyzed Hari would use his tongue to write.

Who would have thought?

Aoba had never expected that Hari's tongue would be so skilled. He also did not expect that Hari would connect Gasshi and Orochimaru together. He thought that they were the same person.

When Aoba transformed into Orochimaru, it was entirely because this identity was more convenient to walk inside the Root Base, and he did not think about framing Orochimaru at all.

Now, it was a coincidence that made this happen.
