Naruto Office.

"Sandaime-sama, the ANBU investigation has ended and it is confirmed that there is no such person. Currently..."

Kakashi was one step away from me, listening intently to the ANBU team leader's report.

As long as Konoha's interests were involved, he would return to being a meticulous elite jounin.

After confirming that the ANBU was highly suspicious, the situation became less optimistic. As a Konoha ninja, Kakashi said that this situation must be reported immediately. And I feel that as a developer, I also have responsibilities.

After a lot of fussing, when they met the Hokage, the sky was slightly bright. In addition to the Sandaime, all the insiders gathered in the office one after another.

The person who expressed his opinion at this time was Shikaku-sama of the Strategy Department, "The timing of this incident is too coincidental. The Chunin exams will begin one day later, and all forces arrived in Konoha to test each other. At this time, unknown elements appeared pretending to be ANBU, forged Hokage documents, and stole Obtain confidential research results. If the investigation is not handled properly, it will easily destroy the balance between countries."

From this point of view, the suspect committed the crime against the wind.

"Everyone." Senior Xizi said, "It was stolen into the highest concentration version of leaf, which has up to 85% of the life reactivation function. Its appearance has filled the gap of all countries in the so-called 'resurrection from the dead' field. Blank. It has been two days since it was stolen, and we cannot delay it any longer. If that force manages to escape during the Chunin Examination, the losses that Konoha will suffer in the future are immeasurable."

She is the person who knows Leaf best besides me. Once the enemy successfully synthesizes and mass-produces such a drug and puts it into the battlefield against Konoha...

"Miss Liu."

I was immersed in the analysis of various aspects by the big guys and was suddenly called upon by the Hokage. I quickly raised my head and stood up. Several eyes came to me, and I suddenly felt nervous and uncomfortable.

Although the leaf was extracted from me, I accidentally lost it.

"It's not your fault. Even my authorization document can be forged. Obviously the other party is well prepared."

"Don't tell me it's you. Even a ninja might fall into the trap with that document."

The Sandaime seemed to feel the pheromone disorder and actually started to comfort me.

From the time I first arrived in Konoha to now, I have only seen the old man in front of me twice. Once is the beginning, and once is this moment.

Although the times were pitiful, no matter how outrageous or bad what happened to me, he always gave priority to my emotions.

In his words, Shadow exists to protect every villager in this village.

"From the time you arrived in Konoha, ninjas with strong senses began to inquire about you. The reason why no one bothered you at first was because of my order. But as more and more temptations were made in the dark, continuing with the previous thoughts, I’m afraid it will hurt you.”

The truth of the matter is this!

No wonder, as long as I leave the hospital in the past six months, even if I live in the ninja dormitory, it is difficult to get in-depth contact with this group.

I had always guessed "because I am from another village" and I didn't know what expression to make. I could only look at the man next to me helplessly.

Wait... Since there is Hokage-sama's order, even the hospital should be within range...

Thinking about it this way, I always feel that there are some clues that are about to come out. I want to catch it, but it slips away from my hands like a loach.

"Zhao Zhao. Did you remember something?" Kakashi put his hand on my shoulder, his tone revealing concern.

"On the night when the pheromones went wild, when I arrived, the ANBU reported that there were unknown forces lingering around. Although I used a barrier to lock you and your pheromones in the dormitory in time, I'm afraid the other party has already locked onto you. Even...earlier."

The former ANBU team leader with rich counter-reconnaissance experience began to patiently guide him word by word.

"Think carefully about the suspicious things in your daily life."

This...what can be suspicious about my two-point-one-line life?

In other words, what are the characteristics of so-called "suspicious things"?

"For example, someone who often appears in an occasion where you often spend time and can come into contact with you regularly but infrequently."

So to say…

Several figures come to mind.

Since the fake ANBU knew about the secret project I was working on, he or his associates must have been in regular contact with me before, testing me, and collecting information about me.

The only place I usually stay is in the intensive care unit of a hospital!

In this case, the number of people decreased.

Noticing the change in my expression, Kakashi continued to narrow the scope, "He may have an ordinary temperament and not attract attention."

The more I listen, the clearer my thinking becomes.

The temperament is ordinary and does not attract attention. Being able to show up at the hospital and have regular contact with me…

There is such a person.

The process of elimination finally left him alone.

Among the ninja community, he has low strength, weak character, and ordinary temperament, but for some reason, he always appears in my workplace for various reasons or coincidences.

I had some doubts about him before, but now judging from the characteristics of a spy, he is really...

Lifted up instantly with one breath.

I grabbed the person next to me and asked him, "Do you remember the herbal toxin extract I used when treating Moonlight Blast!"

"Remember, you said it was given to you by a patient."

"Yes, yes. That ninja later told me that he had a regular mission in Tian Country and could always help me pick. But now I feel something is wrong!"

"Why is it wrong?"

"He is a genin. I usually hear you talking about the missions of Team 7, but there is no one like him!"

"Konoha does not have regular missions for genin to leave the village." Lord Sandaime said.

"The relations between Wada Country are not friendly." Master Shikaku continued.

OK, it’s solid.

My hands were trembling a little, "His name was Kabuto Yakushi. The first time I saw him, he seemed to have injured his hand without paying attention during practice. When I helped him debridement, I was surprised that an injury of that level did not require a visit to the intensive care unit."

"He later used the same reason to contact me and even brought me those kinds of flowers!"

"...Akiaki, next time you meet a scoundrel, just refuse the diagnosis." Kakashi looked serious, "Besides, there are no medicinal materials that the Konoha Nara clan cannot grow. Right, Shikaku-senpai?"

"Ahem, yes."

"That's right. But haven't you come to me with skin injuries every once in a while? With your precedent, I thought Konoha ninjas don't choose departments..."

In the final analysis, I am still too careless. I always thought that intrigues among ninjas would never appear in my life.

The office was quiet except for my breathing.

Shikaku-senpai:......

Senior Xizi:...

Lord Sandaime:......

In this way, you ninjas are really powerful.

...

"Well...it turns out it's him. He's very suspicious." Kakashi said without changing his expression.

"This person has taken the Chunin Exams several times in a row and failed. We cannot rule out the possibility of hiding his strength."

"Besides, his level of training is completely different from the extremely dangerous mission of a Jonin. Even if he is injured, there is no need to be like me, who has to go to the intensive care unit to check with you just in case the enemy poisons you."

...There is some truth in saying this.

I was convinced.

"His injuries are fake!" The silver-haired jounin was righteous, clenching a fist with one hand and hammering the other.

What a final word!

Why do the other three look like they are constipated...

-

After finding the suspect, Senior Xizi went home to nurse his child. The ANBU team immediately went to investigate.

Not long after, the squad leader reported that Kabuto Yakushi was not in the village, and traces of destruction of suspected ANBU uniforms were found around his residence.

A group of people, to be precise, these two veterans of the ninja world: the most powerful brain in the Strategy Department-Nara Shikaku-sama, and Konoha's first technician-Jounin Hatake Kakashi, started a conference with the theme of "Prediction of Suspect Actions" Brainstorming.

At this time, Sandaime was sitting behind his desk smoking, and I was standing next to him inhaling second-hand smoke.

Brainstorming begins.

The beginning of the Sandaime's basic question: Why did Kabuto Yakushi steal the leaf?

Kakashi spoke first: There are two possibilities. First, the forces he relied on mentioned earlier were used for scientific research and development; second, his next mission required leaf to avoid risks.

Shikaku-sama follows up: The second point is more likely. If it is for scientific research and development, then you can wait until the Chuunin Exam is over and the village relaxes its guard before stealing, so that the risk of your own exposure is small.

But he committed the crime against the odds. This shows that the task he will face is time-sensitive, and it can even be said that the execution time of this task is during the Chunin Examination.

Kakashi: Based on this premise, what he stole was the highest concentration leaf, which has the strongest life reactivation effect. Therefore, this mission during the Chuunin Exams could endanger his life, or the one he was loyal to.

The Sandaime's second question: Who is the force behind Yakushi Kabuto?

Lord Shikaku: The flowers he collected for Zhao Zhao are indeed unique to Tian Country. The force behind being able to regularly conceal Konoha's trips to Ta no Kuni is probably related to Otogakure Village in Ta no Kuni. This village is also participating in this Chunin Exam and must be strictly monitored.

Kakashi: If you want to steal the leaf with the highest concentration even at the risk of being exposed, maybe you won’t keep it for yourself, but hand it over to the person from Otogakure Village? Is that person related to the forgery of Hokage authorization documents?

The Sandaime's third question: Who forged the Hokage authorization document?

Kakashi: First of all, he must be familiar with the inside of Konoha Hokage Tower.

Lord Shikaku: And I have been exposed to the Hokage office process.

Kakashi: I am also familiar with the Sandaime-sama.

Mr. Shikaku: He is also good at R&D and manufacturing.

The two old fritters trembled and looked at the Hokage's desk.

The Sandaime sighed: Orochimaru.

The three of them reasoned so quickly that I had to take a few breaths to keep up with their progress and had no time to inhale the second-hand smoke.

Could this Orochimaru be one of the legendary three ninjas? It is said that he has not been in Konoha for a long time.

Although he is no longer in Konoha, his legend has always been spread in Konoha.
