Chapter 445: The Extremely Shocked Danzo!
After saying these words, Hiruzen stared coldly at Aoba. He did not know what this person's purpose was, so he did not dare to relax.
Danzo was too important to him!
He hoped that Danzo could be healed so that he could be of great help in the Third Ninja World War.
Of course.
The premise was that it can be healed.
If Danzo can't be healed...
It was another matter.
Right now, Hiruzen was unable to determine what kind of idea this Uzumaki Clan ninja had in mind. For a moment, he was a little unsure. He did not dare to let the other party contact Danzo rashly, even though the other party was the one who had treated Danzo.
"Sure."
Aoba nodded. He did not bother to argue with Hiruzen because he was in a good mood today. If it was any other time, if Hiruzen spoke to him like this, then it would be fine to not treat Danzo.
"Let's go."
Aoba continued to walk toward the door. He had treated Danzo's injuries before and knew that the opposite side of the office was where Danzo was recuperating.
According to Danzo's current injuries.
He should still be there and would not be moved easily.
After all, that would be very risky.
As for the things that Hiruzen wanted to watch...
Aoba didn't care at all. If he wanted to watch, he could just watch. In any case, he was really going to treat Danzo's injuries. It wasn't like he was going to do anything. After all, he had already finished the matter of putting the seal earlier, so there was nothing to worry about.
Hiruzen stared fixedly at Aoba. He watched as Aoba walked over without saying a word.
A moment later.
Hiruzen shifted his gaze to Shikaku.
"Shikaku, there is nothing for you to do here. You can go back first. I will handle the rest." Hiruzen said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
Shikaku nodded and left the office.
Shikaku did not say anything extra.
However, his heart was already in turmoil.
It was all because of what Aoba had just said earlier.
It didn't seem to have much of an effect.
But it was like a small pebble thrown into a calm river, causing ripples, making his mood turbulent.
"Do I really believe my judgment too much?"
For some reason, Shikaku thought of Aoba's matter in the Chunin Exams. At that time, he trusted his judgment very much and believed that Aoba cheated. However, through the investigation later, he found that the truth of the matter was very different from what he expected.
Now, after this existence who easily cracked his Kagemane no Jutsu(Shadow Imitation Technique), said these words.
This made his heart even more chaotic.
At this moment.
Shikaku was walking toward the building exit, thinking about what Aoba had just said.
"If I hadn't appeared just now..."
"Would Sandaime-sama make a move?"
"Why?"
"Isn't the Uzumaki Clan a close ally of our Konohagakure?"
"But..."
"I clearly felt a strong sense of vigilance and hostility from Sandaime-sama."
"Is there something wrong here?"
Shikaku kept thinking in his mind. He also wanted to not think too much, but he could not control his head at all.
There was no way at all.
He just could not help but think about such things.
Moreover.
Aoba's words, to a certain extent, subverted his understanding.
Not only his own understanding of himself but also his understanding of the Third Hokage, which was completely different from his previous understanding.
"Should I reflect on myself..."
Shikaku took a deep breath. He was only sixteen years old now and was in the same year as Aoba. Although he was very smart, his youthful and energetic period made him less thoughtful and restrained, so he gave too subjective answers to many things.
After this incident.
It was as if a warning bell had been sounded on his head.
Shikaku was not a stubborn person who would not reflect on himself. Instead, he had not realized this before. Now, things had made him realize these problems.
...
Shikaku's departure did not have any effect on Aoba and Hiruzen. The two of them arrived at the door of Danzo's room one after another.
Aoba raised his hand and wanted to push open the door directly. At this moment, his ears twitched slightly. He heard the sound from the inside and immediately turned his palm into a fist. It changed from pushing the door to knocking on the door.
Knock Knock Knock...
The sound of knocking on the door immediately attracted the attention of the people inside.
"Who is it?"
A calm voice sounded from the door. The owner of the voice was Konohagakure's Consultant, Utatane Koharu. Aoba had heard her voice a few times and he was familiar with it.
Suddenly.
Aoba took a step back and gathered his chakra in his throat.
He used a very deep tone to imitate Hiruzen's voice.
"It's me, Hiruzen."
Aoba's words, from his tone to his voice, were almost exactly the same as Hiruzen's. It was impossible to tell the difference at all.
This kind of sudden thing made Hiruzen's eyes widen almost instantly.
He couldn't believe his ears.
"You..."
Hiruzen had never met such an existence that could disguise their voice as someone else before. The most he saw was that they would disguise their voice so that no one could hear their original voice. However, this person directly simulated the voice of another person. This was really beyond his understanding.
"It's just a small ability."
Aoba deliberately leaked this ability to Hiruzen. He was not showing off, nor was he deliberately revealing anything. Instead, he was laying a foundation for his future plans.
You should know...
It could be said that he had planted a seed in Hiruzen's head.
There was no need for him to do such a thing as water the plants.
As long as it was at the right time.
This seed could naturally take root and sprout, and even give birth to an unexpected effect.
"..."
Hiruzen did not say anything, but his face had already become ugly. He had a sense of fear toward unknown things in his heart.
Now, the abilities of this Uzumaki clan ninja had already made his heart feel instinctive fear.
This was no longer a small matter.
To be able to stand here and imitate his voice in front of him today, would he pretend to be him and imitate his voice in other places tomorrow?
If that happened, things would become troublesome.
Most importantly...
Other than his voice.
Who else could this person imitate?
This question mark suddenly appeared on Hiruzen's head, causing him to feel extremely puzzled. Moreover, in his mind, he raised the danger level of this ninja called Uzumaki Nagato by another level.
Creak...
Just as Hiruzen was deep in thought.
The door to Danzo's room opened.
The person who opened the door was Konohagakure's Consultant, Utatane Koharu.
"Eh?"
The moment Koharu opened the door, she immediately saw Aoba, who was wearing a mask, standing at the door. She let out a soft sound of surprise, showing her doubts.
"Who are you?"
"Why are you here?"
"What are you doing here?"
Koharu directly asked Aoba three consecutive questions. When she asked these questions, she saw Hiruzen next to Aoba. She knew that this person might be related to Hiruzen, but it still caused her dissatisfaction.
She didn't like people wearing masks!
Especially when the person was wearing a mask in front of her!
This made her feel unhappy that she didn't know who the other person was!
Other than the above points...
She disliked the person wearing a mask in Danzo's room even more. This would remind her of the unreasonable kid who treated Danzo's injuries.
"Koharu-sama, have you forgotten me so quickly? You were the one who wanted to keep me here and not let me leave."
Aoba said meaningfully.
After saying that.
Aoba directly walked into Danzo's room.
He did not ask for Koharu's permission at all.
"What do you mean?" Koharu frowned. She was the dignified Konohagakure's Consultant. Encountered such a thing, she would instantly be very unhappy. So she glared at Aoba and said, "Take off your mask!"
"I won't take off my mask. As the reason, let Sandaime-sama answer you."
When Aoba spoke, every step seemed to be like traveling through space, crossing a huge distance.
In just a few short steps.
He had already arrived in front of Danzo's bed under Hiruzen and Koharu's gazes.
This feeling brought them an extremely unreal feeling.
The steps were still the same.
However, the distance of each step has changed from the original distance to a large space, showing a feeling of shrinking.
"You..." Koharu was just about to intercept Aoba, but before she could do anything, this person was already beside Danzo.
"Koharu, let me explain..." Hiruzen helplessly walked to Koharu's side and said in a low voice. After all the things earlier, he found that this Uzumaki clan ninja was not simple. The sense of oppression he felt was no weaker than that of the Uzumaki Mito from back then.
"What is going on?" There were a lot of question marks in Koharu's head.
"He is the one who treated Danzo last time," Hiruzen said in a low voice.
"Are you sure?" Koharu stared at Aoba carefully a few times. After that, she added, "This aura is not quite right!"
"I think he cast a certain camouflage. This kind of camouflage is very advanced. It can even imitate my voice. The one who talk to you outside the door just now was not me, but him." Just thinking about it made Hiruzen feel a little scary.
"There is actually such a thing!" Koharu's eyes widened. She recalled the person who talk to her outside and did not detect any abnormalities at all. If Hiruzen did not say it, she would still think that the person who spoke was Hiruzen.
"The most important thing is..."
Hiruzen suddenly took a deep breath. He drags his voice out for a long time. Finally, he took a deep look at Koharu and said, "He is from the Uzumaki Clan!"
"Are you sure?" Koharu's expression changed again and again. As Konohagakure Consultant, she was very clear about the concept of a ninja from the Uzumaki Clan. She then asked, "This is not a small matter."
"I can be sure that he is definitely a ninja from the Uzumaki Clan. Moreover, he himself admitted this matter. The only thing that I do not understand is why he came here." Hiruzen said in a low voice.
"What is he going to do now?" Koharu frowned. After hearing Hiruzen's words, she did not dare to act rashly.
"He said he wants to treat Danzo!" Hiruzen's voice became deeper.
...
Right now.
Aoba stood next to Danzo's bed.
He lowered his head to look at Danzo.
Danzo seemed to have sensed that someone had arrived. He opened his left eye. When he saw Aoba who was wearing a mask, he closed his eyes again.
This feeling was as if he did not put Aoba in his eyes.
"Don't you recognize me?"
The corners of Aoba's mouth behind the mask curled up slightly. As he spoke, his finger gently tapped on Danzo's body. Immediately, a sealing power surged out from Danzo's heart and spread throughout Danzo's entire body, directly taking control of Danzo's body.
Suddenly.
Danzo widened his eyes.
He immediately understood this person's identity.
It was not someone else.
It was the person who had placed these seals on his body.
For a moment.
Danzo's eyes flashed with fear.
Not to mention that his current body made him unable to speak at all, even if his body returned to normal, because of the Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal's restraint, he still could not say anything.
"Do you understand what I mean by coming here?"
Aoba said indifferently. His finger left Danzo's body. After that, he gently hooked his finger, and Danzo's body seemed to be pulled by a force, directly sitting up from the bed.
Crack Crack Crack Crack...
The joints of Danzo's body emitted crisp sounds because they had not moved for a long time. With these sounds, Danzo sat up in a daze.
This change fell into the eyes of Hiruzen and Koharu, and it seemed that Danzo sat up on his own as if it was an incredible medical miracle.
"Now I am going to treat you!"
After Aoba finished speaking, he pushed his finger again, and that chakra that contained the sealing power directly returned along the same path and quickly returned to Danzo's heart.
In a split second.
The feeling of being controlled was gone.
This made Danzo feel like he had just survived a disaster. It was as if his life did not belong to him at that moment.
Alarm.
Shock.
Fear.
All kinds of negative emotions filled Danzo's heart.
These emotions told him to stay away from the person in front of him. Even if he could not get treatment, he could not get close to this person.
This person was extremely dangerous!
But...
There was nothing he could do.
Just as Danzo's heart was a mess, Aoba had already arrived by his side. He grabbed his shoulders with both hands and lifted him up.
