"Phew..."
Shinichi heaved a heavy sigh of relief. When he heard that Izumi would no longer be involved in this muddy water, the burden in his heart was lifted.
Hmm?
Shinichi suddenly realized something very strange.
This wasn't his character!
It was clearly the not-so-healthy newcomer Aoba who had a cautious personality.
How did he become like him in just a few hours...
Even he had become so cautious?
Was caution contagious?
Shinichi couldn't help but look at Aoba beside him. He saw that the latter had a calm and composed expression and was not flustered. He couldn't help but take a few more glances."Brother Shinichi, what's the matter?"
All of a sudden.
Aoba's voice rang out.
Then, he raised his head and met Aoba's gaze.
"No... nothing..."
Shinichi hurriedly shook his head. He had been thinking about things for a long time, so he did not notice that Aoba had already noticed his gaze.
"Oh."
Aoba responded faintly, then turned his head away as if nothing had happened.
"Ah, okay, okay, okay, okay, that's it!"
Izumi muttered in a voice that only he could hear and was still a little unwilling in his heart. He felt that this was an excellent opportunity. If he seized it, he might be able to jump out of Konohagakure Intelligence Division in one fell swoop and step onto the higher stage of life.
But...
Opportunities and risks coexisted!
And the risks were greater than opportunities!
He had already realized that he could not take this opportunity.
"Forget it! Just let it go like this!"
Izumi was brainwashing himself, constantly persuading himself to stop thinking about it.
But the more he was like this, the more unwilling he was in his heart.
He couldn't help but look at Koshiro's corpse as he muttered to himself.
His eyes were eager to try.
He wanted to go over and search his memories again.
"Brother Izumi!"
At this time, Aoba's voice sounded. It was not loud, but it clearly entered Izumi's ears, attracting the latter's attention.
"Ah? Aoba? What's wrong?"
Izumi was stunned for a moment. He turned to look at Aoba. His mind was now wholly occupied by Koshiro's matter. Although he said that he did not want to continue. But he still did not dare to believe that he would give up just like that. He was in a hesitating stage as if there were two villains in his heart pulling each other. No one had the upper hand, and all possible decisions could be made one side tilt.
"Brother Izumi, I have something to say to you." Aoba walked up to Izumi and whispered.
"What do you want to talk about?" Izumi frowned slightly. His thoughts were interrupted, and he was a little unhappy. It was as if his thoughts were suddenly interrupted before he could come to a conclusion.
"I think..."
Aoba stared at Izumi and carefully looked at the latter's face. He had just keenly determined that Izumi was unwilling. If he let it go, there was a high chance that something unexpected would happen.
"If these people are really colluding with the Uchiha clan, then there should be memory fragments on the other corpses. Maybe there will be more details than those corpses." Aoba said.
"You mean..." Izumi's eyes lit up slightly. After hearing Aoba's words, he suddenly realized something.
"The corpses here will all be cross-read. It is too hasty to judge that this matter has something to do with the Uchiha clan just by relying on the vague memories of a corpse. Why don't we read the memories of a few more corpses? Perhaps we can find more clues and restore more things. Wouldn't that make us more confident?"
"We won't be taking too much risk either." Aoba seemed to be persuading him, but in fact, he was stabilizing Izumi's mood.
"What you said makes sense, but..." Izumi still had some misgivings in his heart. He said, "If someone else gets ahead of us, we will miss the opportunity."
"Then we can only be faster. Right now, we have a direction. But the other group are searching everywhere, trying to seize the opportunity." Aoba said.
"I understand." The little person in Izumi's heart immediately tilted to the other side. Then, he looked deeply at Aoba and said, "Aoba, you are right. It is not a suitable opportunity to speak out now."
After saying that, Izumi was completely relieved.
He suddenly figured it out.
He shouldn't worry too much.
...
In the next half of the day.
The other teams in the room were searching through memories, trying to find some clues.
Only the team next to Aoba found the memory of Takashi looking for someone, but they could not find any clues.
The other teams did not find anything.
Instead, it was Aoba's team that found some things.
They did not search Koshiro's memories anymore.
After discussing with each other, they unanimously agreed that there would be no more decisive evidence in Koshiro's memories.
The memories pertaining to Uchiha had been forcibly erased.
There was no need to waste more energy on this person.
What they needed to do during this period of time was to preserve their strength and energy, wait for the exchange of corpses, and then find more clues from them.
Time passed by slowly.
Gradually, half a day passed.
The sound of steady footsteps came from outside.
While everyone was focused on searching for memories, the boss of Root Organization, Shimura Danzo, walked in.
"Danzo-sama!"
The people who noticed Danzo immediately stood up and bowed in a split second. Everyone had respectful expressions on their faces.
Danzo was such a person.
Even among Anbu.
Everyone was in awe of him.
It could even be said that fear was greater than respect. This degree of fear had already surpassed Third Hokage.
"Have you found anything?"
Danzo swept his gaze over everyone and slowly said. After he finished speaking, the scene was completely silent.
No one spoke.
No one dared to speak.
Even the team next to Aoba that found out Takashi went to find a "person" did not speak.
This scene of silence suddenly gave Izumi the motivation to calm down.
Since no one took the risk, there was no need to take the risk now.
"Exchange the corpses."
Danzo's face turned ugly. He was not satisfied with the performance of the people present.
"From now on to noon tomorrow, every two hours, you will exchange the corpses until every team finishes reading the memories of all the corpses."
"Whether there is any discovery or not, I will bring the second batch of corpses over."
"But then again..."
"If any of you find any clues, there will be unexpected rewards waiting for you!"
After leaving these words, Danzo directly turned around and left. He secretly cursed in his heart that the efficiency was too low. He gave half a day to search for memories deeply, but they actually found nothing!
"A bunch of trash!"
After leaving the door, Danzo coldly cursed. These people combined were not as good as Akira at his roots.
