Chapter 333: The Descendants of the Uzumaki Clan!

"Eaton!"

After hearing Eaton's words, Hiruzen's face suddenly became a lot uglier. His expression became serious.

"Since you have already obtained the No. 18 herb, then tell the herb first. We all have the same goal: to cure Danzo's injury. We can't joke with Danzo's life!"

Hiruzen's voice became much more serious. As he spoke, he had already picked up the kiseru by his lips, but his face still showed deep majesty.

At this time, Hiruzen no longer wanted to continue the topic.

The moment the mysterious medical ninja and Eaton left, Koharu had already told him the specifics of what had happened. He knew very well what Eaton was asking about. That was, Koharu wanted to remove the mysterious medical ninja's mask and was threatened in the end.

But...

He still had no way to say it out loud. After all, it was not appropriate to tell the truth.

"I got it."

After hearing Hiruzen's words, Eaton immediately understood what he meant. He no longer continued to dig deeper into this topic. He dug deep into the step he had just taken. He had already understood what was going on. It could be said that his goal had been achieved. He had asked the question before because he needed clarification about what was happening.

Although the three people here had not spoken clearly, he already completely understood what was going on.

"I'll tell you."

Eaton's tone was low. He first looked at Hiruzen, and then his gaze shifted to Homura. Finally, it landed on Koharu and then stopped.

"Koharu-sama."

"Danzo-sama is not poisoned."

"The list in your hand is the antidote for the poison that Sunagakure often uses."

"We can equip these antidotes to our Konohagakure ninja."

"This way, we can avoid the possibility of our Konohagakure being poisoned to death in the war with Sunagakure."

Eaton said one sentence after another. His tone was quite deep, trying to suppress the emotions in his heart as much as possible.

As Eaton said this, the three people present were all stunned. Everyone's eyes flashed with disbelief.

"Eaton, is what you said true?" Koharu immediately asked nervously. She had been too anxious and had not thought about these things at all. Now that she heard Eaton's explanation, she was completely stunned. She could not tell if this was true or false.

"You mean that Danzo was not poisoned?" Homura could not help but ask. His expression was much calmer. He did not show too much shock like Koharu. On the whole, he still looked the same as usual.

"..."

Hiruzen did not say a word. He was an old fox. After hearing Eaton say that Danzo was not poisoned, he understood everything.

According to Koharu's elaboration. At that time, the mysterious medical ninja had no way out under Koharu's pressure. If he did not take out any chips. It was impossible for Koharu to let that person go.

But...

It was precisely at that time. The medical ninja took out a list of herbs and specifically emphasized that one was missing. This part successfully provided help for his escape.

'Good!'

When Hiruzen thought of this, he sighed in his heart. Now, he was even more curious about the identity of the mysterious medical ninja.

He really wanted to know who that person was!

"I don't need to talk about this matter. It doesn't mean anything to me. I'm just telling you what he said to me!"

The expression on Eaton's face was extremely grave. He stared at Koharu's eyes which were still filled with doubt and slowly spoke again.

"We are here to save Danzo-sama, not to harm Danzo-sama. Naturally, it is impossible for us to do anything to Danzo-sama. So, Koharu-sama, you can rest assured!"

After Eaton said these words, he did not speak again. Now he understood why Aoba told him not to ask anything.

With Aoba's status, there was no way he would do such a thing. Although they didn't fully talk about it. He did not have any doubts in his heart.

At this time, Koharu also understood. She knew that the mysterious medical ninja had fooled her.

It was only because the situation was urgent. She had not had the time to check Danzo's physical condition and was unsure if Danzo was poisoned.

Of course, based on the preconceived concept. Even if she did not find any poison-related information, she would not easily believe it.

After all, in her heart, she had recognized the medical skills of the mysterious medical ninja!

"Sandaime-sama, if there is nothing else, I will go back to rest. After this day of Danzo-sama's treatment, I am tired!" Eaton said in a low voice. Right now, he gave off an indescribable feeling of oppression.

"Um."

Hiruzen nodded. At this point, he did not know what to say. He could only let this matter pass first. The rest could wait until later.

The two advisors, Koharu and Homura, also nodded at Eaton. They did not say anything else. After all, no matter how much they talked about this matter, there was no way to make it work.

After getting Hiruzen's affirmation, Eaton walked directly towards the building entrance and left in the direction of his residence.

After what happened just now. He understood a lot of things in his mind.

About the village.

About the Hokage.

About the higher-ups.

Now he gradually understood why so many people were standing on the opposite side of Hiruzen while he was the Third Hokage.

As Konohagakure Intelligence Division's Captain. He had interrogated many relevant examples.

...

After Eaton left, the room where Danzo was seemed very quiet.

No one spoke.

After a long time, Hiruzen cleared his throat, and this broke the awkward atmosphere.

"Cough cough..."

Hiruzen's cough clearly reached Koharu and Homura's ears. Then, he nodded to the two of them and said, "I'll leave Danzo to you. It's late at night. I'm tired. I'll go back first."

"Alright!"

Koharu and Homura nodded at Hiruzen at the same time. They were very clear about what they had done just now, so they didn't have the confidence to talk to Hiruzen now.

After that, Hiruzen stepped out of the room. After he left, he entered the Hokage's office. He walked directly behind the desk. He slammed the kiseru heavily on the table, and his eyes flashed with a cold light.

"Trash!"

Hiruzen shouted coldly. Even he felt very embarrassed about what had happened just now. If he had not smoothed things over, he might not have been able to do it in the future.

"Even if you want to know his identity, there is no need to do this!"

Hiruzen sat on the chair behind the desk and took a few deep breaths to calm his anger. He already understood that Eaton's confidence in him had wavered at this time. This was not a good thing.

...

On the other side.

After Hiruzen left, Koharu and Homura looked at each other. Koharu's usually arrogant eyes dimmed a lot, and she no longer had the momentum to teach Homura a lesson.

"Koharu, why don't you check it?"

Homura frowned behind his glasses. He had acted according to Koharu's instructions just now. He had never expected such an accident to happen. From the beginning to the end, Eaton had been talking to them with a handle. He felt extremely constrained and couldn't exert it at all.

"Why would I think that the medical ninja was lying to me? He was so confident when talking to me. Even now, I still believe that Danzo is poisoned. I want to check him immediately!" As Koharu spoke, she walked directly to Danzo's bed, ready to use Shosen Jutsu(Mystical Palm Technique) to check the position of Danzo's breastbone to make sure that Danzo was really not poisoned.

"Eaton would not lie to us about such a thing, and he is right about one thing. They just want to save Danzo. We have done too much in this matter." Homura could not help but sigh. He knew that what they did was wrong. He had already reflected in his heart. He knew that Koharu's examination of Danzo's body had no effect, but he did not deny it. After all, this was safer.

"They actually tricked me!"

Koharu sat next to Danzo's bed and used both of her hands to use Shosen Jutsu(Mystical Palm Technique) on Danzo's chest. She quickly checked if Danzo had some kind of poison.

In fact, there were some words in her heart. It was a secret that belonged to her.

Whether it was Hiruzen or Homura, she did not say anything. It was about Little Danzo.

It was precisely because Little Danzo had attracted her attention at that time that her mind was a little disturbed, which led to her not seeing clearly whether the mysterious medical ninja had poisoned Danzo.

So after Aoba said that Danzo had been poisoned and after careful consideration. She decided to take a step back. She told Aoba to leave directly.

After a quick check, Koharu found things were similar to what Eaton had said. Danzo's body showed no signs of being poisoned.

However...

It was precisely because of second preconceived notions. Before Koharu went to check on Danzo's body, she had already believed what Eaton had said - Danzo was not poisoned at all.

Therefore, after a rough examination, she was able to see through it. There was no need for a further in-depth examination. This also prevented the matter of Kinkoju no Fuda(Forbidden Individual Curse Tag) from being discovered in Danzo's heart!

...

When Eaton returned home along the way, the sky was already very dark. Even the street lamps only lit up once in a while, and it had already entered the mode of saving electricity.

When he walked to the door of his house, he was stunned. The door of the house was open. No one closed it.

Not only that, but he could also sense that a few Anbu were guarding the area. Obviously, they were waiting for Aoba to leave.

"Humph!"

Eaton snorted coldly, and his mood that had just calmed down once again became dissatisfied.

No matter what, they were heroes who saved Danzo's life. Yet this was the kind of treatment they received!

Eaton walked into his house and then slammed the door shut.

"Aoba?" Eaton called softly in the room, but there was no response.

After that, he went to the basement to check again.

Empty!

"Ran?"

The corners of Eaton's mouth slightly curled up. He suddenly realized that Aoba was really the author of Teacher Bai of the Ninja School. His thinking was indeed very meticulous. He could even escape from Anbu's watch. It seemed that he had underestimated this person.

Now that Aoba was not here. He also had some leisure time. After all, they had cured Danzo-sama's injuries.

After returning home, he stopped thinking about those terrible things. His mood also became much better.

...

Outside Eaton's residence.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

The figures of Anbu quickly passed through the dark space and landed in the direction of Eaton's residence.

"Now that Eaton-sama is back, we have not found any signs of the medical ninja running away, which means that he is probably still in Eaton-sama's house. Keep a close eye on him and report to me immediately if anything happens." Among the Anbu, a squad leader spoke to the surrounding Anbu who were hiding here to collect information.

"Yes!"

These Anbu immediately responded, then their figures flashed and returned to their respective positions.

After a while, only that Anbu squat leader was left here. Instantly, this Anbu also disappeared in a flash. He quickly left his position and ran towards the Hokage Building.

A few minutes later.

In the Hokage's office.

Hiruzen was sitting in front of his desk while looking at the scroll in his hand, waiting for news from the Anbu.

Knock knock knock...

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. The knock was neither too fast nor too slow. It was still able to show the urgency of the matter.

"Come in."

Hiruzen said indifferently. As he spoke, he put down the scroll in his hand and looked up at the door. His eyes were focused on the door.

Creak!

Along with the sound of friction between the door panels, the door of the Hokage's office was pushed open.

The person who came in was the Anbu, who had given a command earlier.

"Tell me what the situation is." Hiruzen looked at Anbu. His tone did not sound happy. After what happened with Eaton just now, he felt that the medical ninja was a very scheming person.

"It's like this..."

The Anbu explained to Hiruzen in detail that the medical ninja turned into three shadow clones and ran out in different directions at different times.

After he finished talking about these things. A hint of hesitation appeared on the face behind the mask. This was because Aoba was covered by the mask and could not be seen at all. After adjusting himself slightly, he concluded that he felt that the Third Hokage would definitely not be satisfied.

"Right now, the medical ninja is either still in Eaton-sama's residence or has already left while the three shadow clones created chaos," The Anbu said.

"Which one do you think is more likely?" Hiruzen raised his eyes and asked the Anbu.

"He might have left while the three shadow clones created chaos," The Anbu said.

"What if this is also his camouflage?" Hiruzen lightly said.

"Sandaime-sama, you mean..." This person's pupils fiercely contracted as if he had realized something.

"Sometimes, the more you think it is impossible, the more likely it is to happen. Keep a close eye on it. If those three shadow clones are smoke bombs, everything they are doing now may be smoke bombs. If you all think that he has run away but hasn't run yet, then he will get the chance!" Hiruzen said slowly.

"I understand!" Anbu immediately nodded.

"Go." Hiruzen said indifferently.

"Yes!"

This Anbu immediately responded. Then, his figure flashed, and he disappeared. He had already received the order and knew what he had to do next.

After this Anbu left. Hiruzen looked at the scroll in his hand again. There were names written on the scroll one after another.

The surnames of these names. They were all from the Uzumaki Clan.

"Could it be that other descendants of your clan are still alive?"

Hiruzen frowned and thought quickly. All he thought about was these things.

Just a while ago, when Koharu was reporting to him. She specifically mentioned the characteristics of the mysterious medical ninja.

A combination of sealing techniques and medical ninjutsu!

Thick chakra!

A disguise that was specially covered from head to toe!

All these conditions were connected together. This made Hiruzen think of the same thing as Koharu in his first reaction.

That mysterious medical ninja...

It was very likely that...

A descendant of the Uzumaki Clan!

Thinking of this, Hiruzen's eyes suddenly became serious, and there seemed to be some particular emotion in his eyes.

"It just gets complicated!"

"The Uzumaki Clan descendants..."

"How much do you know about what happened in the past?"
