Naruto: Haruno Sakura's Heroic Story

Chapter 142 Interlude (Part )

Lu Jiu opened his eyes and said to the others: "The two parties met in the woods at midnight. It is difficult to say that it was an accident. It was too remote. It should be that one party followed the other party's whereabouts and came to Hokage Rock. .”

Haiyi also opened his eyes at this time, and continued Lu Jiu's words, "And judging from the acting styles of the two parties, it is obvious that the one who is alone has richer investigation and anti-investigation experience."

"Also, the walking habits of the short and tall people in the intelligence are exactly the same. This is impossible in reality. In terms of behavior, no one's habits will be exactly the same as another person's. The same."

Shikaku followed Haiichi's words and continued: "Especially the tall man, his footprints completely disappeared at the explosion site. If we rule out that he flew away from the sky, then combined with the walking habits of the two, There is only one possibility..."

"That means the tall man is just a shadow clone of the short man."

"By the way, the reconnaissance team didn't find any traces of earth escape being used underground, right?" Shikaku turned to the ANBU captain and asked.

The captain shook his head, and replied: "No, the reconnaissance team searched a radius of nearly meters from the explosion point, but found no traces, neither underground nor treetops."

"And the top of Hokage Rock is full of sandy soil roads. If you walk over it, you will definitely leave footprints. In fact, the footprints of the escapees continued to the bottom of Hokage Rock before disappearing in the urban area of ​​Konoha."

Shikaku nodded, "The short man used Fire Release to remove most of the traces of the battle, but he used Earth Release to create an isolation zone to prevent the fire from spreading, and the shurikens and fireworks he used were all produced by Konoha, so I It is inferred that this short man is probably someone who has lived in Konoha for a long time."

"Furthermore, judging from a shuriken fragment found by the investigation team and the cut marks caused by the shuriken on the charcoal, among the ninjutsu that I know, only the three generations of masters, your shuriken shadow clone technique can cause This effect." Lu Jiu glanced at the third generation.

"This ninjutsu is very recognizable. Currently, only the third generation master in Konoha knows this jutsu, and based on the short... ahem, based on the footprints of that man who is not tall, but is very tall. From the looks of it, his body shape is very similar to yours, Third Generation."

"And he also used such obvious ninjutsu, so it's obvious that he pretended to be you and met with a tall person."

After Shikaku finished speaking, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. He had just said to the dwarf several times that he would be fine. It shouldn't be. The Third Generation is not a narrow-minded person.

Haha, go clean your toilet, Hundan

Lu Jiu drank tea, and the captain didn't speak, so Haiyi followed Lu Jiu's words and said: "Let's first assume that person is pretending to be the Third Hokage-sama."

"Then the one who was alone obviously didn't follow the Third Generation because he found his figure. After all, no one has the confidence to follow the Third Generation without being discovered by you. And I infer that it is precisely because he is in the woods. I discovered you by accident and felt that I had no chance of winning, so I ran away without even having a decent fight."

After finishing his tea, Shikaku went online again. He followed Haiichi's words and raised a question: "So, why did the person pretending to be the third generation meet his shadow clone in the woods at midnight?"

Everyone was silent for a moment. As soon as Hai thought of something, he raised his head and looked at Sandai and said, "It's just for a play. This is the only way."

"The person who pretended to be the Sandai used the shadow clone technique to lure someone to the top of the Hokage Rock, and then cooperated with the shadow clone to act out a play for him. Finally, he used the ninjutsu shuriken shadow clone developed by the Sandaime. Use this technique to prove your identity, and finally scare that person away."

"The purpose of the fake third generation is this person, and judging from this person's habits, he is likely to be a spy hidden in Konoha, and he is a spy who is at least as powerful as a Jonin."

"The purpose of the fake Sandai's acting in this scene is probably to convey false information to this person. And based on the recent situation in Konoha, it is very likely that this matter is related to the Chunin Examination."

Shikaku held his chin and nodded, briefly summarizing.

"In other words, the person pretending to be the third generation directed this drama in order to pass a false information to a spy hiding in Konoha."

"Then first of all, the fake third generation must know this spy, and know him very well, and also know what the spy is lurking in Konoha for, so he can accurately deliver the false information, so that they come from the same organization very likely."

"The only question now is what is his purpose, why did he pass on false information, and whether he is kind or malicious to Konoha."

Haiyi kept thinking while Shikaku was summing up, "I think it's probably out of goodwill. The last firework as a signal was too conspicuous. It might have been a signal from him to his accomplices, but it's more likely that it was Signal to us.”

"The location of Hokage Rock is very sensitive. Below is the Hokage Building. If something like this happens on Hokage Rock, it will only make us strengthen Konoha's vigilance. This will not do him any good unless... .This is his purpose, to remind us of what will happen during the Chuunin Exams."

Shikaku also nodded, he more agreed with Haiichi's inference.

Sakura, a layman who thought it was a very secretive action, was perfected in a few words by Lu Jiu and Hai Yi.

But it's not Sakura's fault, she couldn't have imagined that Anbu's investigation team almost found out all the traces left by her.

In her impression, the so-called Anbu is just before the protagonist and the villain fight, the villain cuts down a few guys who are used to warm up the scene.

Sandai frowned, puffed away at his pipe, and asked Shikaku and Haiichi, "Are there any doubtful candidates?"

"Sorry, Lord Three." Lu Jiu and Hai Yi looked at each other helplessly, without enough information, no matter how smart they were, it would be useless.

"Sandaime-sama." The captain who had been silent until now said to the third generation: "This is just the personal experience of a ninja in the reconnaissance team. He was not sure, so he did not write it on the scroll. However, according to him, the person pretending to be the third generation , his walking style is more like that of a woman, I don’t know if this will help.”

After hearing what the captain said, Sandai frowned even tighter, but Lu Jiu and Haiyi did not speak. When they talked about the shuriken shadow clone technique, they guessed that Sandai should have a suspicious candidate. After all, the technique was developed by the third generation himself, and he knew better who he had taught this technique to.

Everyone was silent for a while, and then Sandai put down his pipe and let out a sigh of relief, "Okay, let's stop here, you can continue to investigate the identity of the spy, and don't worry about the person who pretends to be me." Now, if you really find out his identity, don't say anything, report to me first."

"Yes, three generations of adults"

On the other side, Sakura, who had joined Ino, once again quietly touched the place where Sunagakure landed...
