"So fast?"

Nara Shikaku and Sandai looked at each other, and they could see the shock in each other's eyes.

When the third generation first came here.

Nara Shikaku explained the situation here and his series of arrangements to the third generation. Both of them knew that Akimichi Tingza was responsible for searching for the team still in the Death Forest.

According to the statistics of the list.

There are still two teams outside that have not been found.

To know……

Things like finding someone.

In the huge forest, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. There are not very gifted sensory ninjas here, and there are no ninja beasts that can smell scents. After all, the support has not arrived yet.

Now this time.

The only people responsible for finding people were Akimichi Dingza and a few proctoring ninjas.

But.

How long has it been!

Have you already found someone?

This situation happened much faster than expected, so much that it shocked Nara Shikaku and the third generation.

"Has the person been found?"

Nara Shikaku immediately looked towards the distance, where Akimichi Choza's voice came from.

Sandai's face returned to calmness again, and a look of thinking appeared on his face. After all, such an unexpected situation made him have to think carefully about how to solve these things in the future.

over time.

After a few minutes.

Akimichi Dingza led several proctoring ninjas and walked towards where Nara Shikaku and Sandai were. Following these ninjas were several candidates, who had obviously found the remaining teams.

"Shikaku, something was discovered!"

Akimichi Tingzao's eyes fell on Nara Shikaku, and there was a tone of surprise in his tone. After all, what happened here also made him feel very surprised and incredible.

"There are some situations here. I think it's better to let them tell you. But before that, you should take a look at Uchiha Kaede first!"

Akimichi Choza said to Nara Shikaku.

After he said these words.

He looked at the third generation next to Nara Shikaku, and immediately greeted the third generation and saluted, saying: "The Third Hokage!"

"Let's take a look at Uchiha Kaede's situation first!" The third generation nodded, indicating that there is no need to adhere to so many etiquettes now. After all, we are in an extraordinary period.

Suddenly.

Nara Shikaku looked at the candidates following Akimichi Dingza. At a glance, there were six people in total, five of whom were carrying one person together.

The man who was being carried.

It was Uchiha Kaede!

At this moment.

Uchiha Kaede's body has a series of winding and mysterious black spells. These spells are crawling all over the latter's body, and it is unknown what kind of use they have.

"what happened?"

Nara Shikaku asked in a deep voice. Seeing the scene in front of him, he had already realized the problem. He could recognize that the talismans on Uchiha Kaede's body were sealing techniques, but even he did not recognize such seals. Not to mention that it was cracked open. It can be seen that this scene is full of weirdness.

After Nara Shikaku finished speaking, Sandai also looked at these candidates curiously, wanting to know what happened.

"Let me tell you..."

At this moment, the person who spoke was none other than one of Uchiha Kaede's teammates.

Since Uchiha Kaede was restrained by his original sealing technique, these two teammates have not left half a step away and have been guarding Uchiha Kaede. However, they did not dare to touch Uchiha Kaede for fear of being contaminated by these inexplicable seals. , only now is it better.

"We are Uchiha Kaede's teammates!"

This Uchiha Kaede's teammate was the first to reveal his identity. Only in this way can what he said later have meaning.

"We followed Kaede Uchiha into the second exam."

"Just four days ago..."

"We were looking for the Book of Heaven Scroll, and suddenly we heard a little sound, and Uchiha Kaede immediately chased after us. The two of us followed closely, but we were unable to stop Uchiha Kaede."

"Then……"

"The nightmare begins!"

When Uchiha Kaede's teammate said this, he took a deep breath. Even if he recalled such a thing now, he still felt frightened. After all, it gave them a feeling of leaving behind the gate of hell. The feeling of being trapped in a circle, this fear of courage, can be said to have penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

Nara Shikaku, Akimichi Tingza, and the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, these three people all looked at this ninja. In everyone's eyes, everyone listened quietly to what happened next.

in.

Akimichi Choza has already heard it once.

But now when I hear this person talk about it again, I still feel very shocked. You must know that this is not a common thing, and anyone who hears it will have an incredible feeling.

"call……"

When Uchiha Kaede's teammate said this, he seemed to remember the situation at that time, and couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then slowly spit it out, trying to calm down the complicated emotions.

"Under the leadership of Uchiha Kaede, we caught up with that person, but we found that judging from his clothes, he was not a ninja from Konoha Village at all. After that person also noticed us and stopped, From the pattern on the ninja's forehead, we determined that the person was a ninja from Kirigakure Village!" Kaede Uchiha's teammate said in a deep voice.

"A ninja from Kirigakure Village?"

After Nara Shikaku heard this sentence, he was immediately stunned for a moment, and a lot of little question marks popped up in his head.

"its not right!"

"No ninjas from Kirigakure Village will participate in this Chunin Exam!"

"How could a ninja from Kirigakure appear in the Forest of Death?"

"Are you sure you read that correctly?"

Nara Shikaku stared at Uchiha Kaede's teammate and asked seriously. His tone was also very serious. After all, this kind of thing is not a joke. If it is really a ninja from Kirigakure Village, then things will become extremely complicated. .

"I'm sure I read it correctly!" Uchiha Kaede's teammate nodded and said, the expression on his face was extremely serious. He would not remember such a thing wrongly!

"I'm not wrong, they are the ninjas of Kirigakure Village!" Another teammate of Kaede Uchiha also said. His eyes fell on Nara Shikaku. Judging from this person's expression, he looked different from the person just now. There are similarities.

"this……"

Seeing the determined looks of these two people, Nara Shikaku was still doubtful, but he still didn't say anything and motioned for the person to continue talking, but he silently thought about it in his heart...

Why a ninja from Kirigakure Village?

How did the ninjas from Kirigakure get here?

What kind of secret is hidden here?

One small question mark after another popped up in Nara Shikaku's head. These small question marks were intertwined to form the doubts in his heart.

"After we saw the ninjas in the Kirigakure Village, the other party expressed a desire to leave quickly and act as if they didn't see anything. They seemed to be in a hurry to leave here and had no intention of taking action against us. They just wanted us to leave. Let's not get in the way." Uchiha Kaede's teammate said slowly. He could only recall the general meaning of the other party's expression, but he could no longer recall the specific original words.

After saying that.

He saw no reaction from these people.

Then he nodded.

He continued talking.

"But……"

"Uchiha Kaede is unwilling to let the other person leave just like that!"

"So I'm trying my best not to take the second round of the Chuunin Exams but also to keep that ninja from Kirigakure Village!"

"but……"

"The other party just touched Uchiha Kaede."

"Uchiha Kaede's whole body is already covered with special spells."

"And I still can't move until now!"

"We don't dare to touch Kaede Uchiha, for fear that this strange spell will fall on us. If we can't move, it will be too dangerous in this forest!"

"So the two of us stayed by Uchiha Kaede's side, waiting for rescue in the village and driving away the wild beasts that appeared around us."

"that's all……"

"We were in the woods for four days."

"Then I met their team."

"Finally, I met the examiner again!"

After Uchiha Kaede's teammate finished talking about the key points, he felt a sense of relief all over his body, as if the last string hanging on his spirit had been eliminated. I felt relaxed and didn't care so much anymore. When it came to the rest of the story, I couldn't remember so many details and couldn't say anything.

"A ninja from Kirigakure who knows the sealing technique?"

After listening to this ninja's words, Nara Shikaku completely understood the situation they were facing.

But what’s happening now.

It was beyond his knowledge.

Suddenly.

Nara Shikaku looked at the third generation next to him, with questioning eyes flashing in his eyes.

"Hokage-sama, do you know what's going on? The Kirigakure village ninja who knows the sealing technique is still appearing in the chunin exams. This is a big problem!" Nara Shikaku asked doubtfully, He was very puzzled, but looking at Uchiha Kaede's teammate, it didn't seem like he was lying, but if it was the truth, it was very outrageous.

"Sealing Technique..."

The third generation's face suddenly turned gloomy, and his pupils suddenly shrank violently. Even he himself didn't know why, but a figure appeared in his mind.

this person……

It was the ninja from the Uzumaki clan who treated Danzo-sama.

Even he didn't know why.

Although he has never met this so-called ninja from Kirigakure Village, and he is not sure what connection the Uzumaki clan ninja has with Kirigakure Village, but he has a vague feeling in his heart that this so-called ninja from Kirigakure Village is related to Kirigakure Village. There is a certain connection with the ninja from the Uzumaki clan.

"I still have some idea."

The third generation did not say what was in his heart, but he had begun to doubt in his heart. He vaguely felt that the name of Kirigakure Ninja was just a cover. He was more willing to believe that this was a ninja from the Uzumaki clan who came here for revenge.

"Did that ninja from Kirigakure Village say anything else?"

The third generation asked Uchiha Kaede's teammate. Now he was more concerned about the so-called Kirigakure ninja. He even felt that the death of the three Iwagakure ninjas seemed to be related to this Kirigakure ninja.

"It seems like I said something..."

"It's like I didn't say anything..."

"We were so scared..."

"I remember nothing..."

Kaede Uchiha's teammate said with a helpless expression. Now when he recalls what happened at that time, it's like recalling a nightmare he's had.

Many things have become blurry.

It seems so.

It seems like that again.

After all, if you experience a very scary thing in that extremely frightening environment, the brain's defense mechanism will make it deliberately difficult to remember such a thing.

"All right!"

The third generation nodded, then stepped forward and walked towards Uchiha Kaede. As he walked, he said: "Let me see how he is doing."

"yes!"

These candidates immediately placed the lifted Uchiha Kaede on the ground, then took a step back one after another, and their eyes fell on the third generation one after another.

Under the gaze of everyone.

The third generation came to Uchiha Kaede, squatted down slowly, raised his hand and touched Uchiha Kaede's forehead.

"It is indeed a sealing technique!"

The third generation narrowed his eyes slightly. His research on ninjutsu is very profound. He has dabbled in every type of ninjutsu. He is even called a doctor of ninjutsu. He also has some research on the classification of sealing techniques. It's just that compared to other ninjutsu, it's not that profound.

This is the sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan!

Sandai silently thought to himself that he made this analysis immediately after the examination, but he did not say these words out loud. After all, such words could easily cause panic in others.

Suddenly.

The third generation began to form hand seals quickly, and one hand seal after another appeared in front of everyone. Then a powerful chakra surged up, and he raised his right hand and slapped Uchiha Kaede on the forehead.

"Decode the seal!"

The third generation shouted sharply, and the sound was clearly transmitted into everyone's ears, and then the black symbols on Uchiha Kaede's body quickly disappeared.

"Lord Hokage..."

Uchiha Kaede's weak voice sounded slowly. He was sealed for four days. During this period, he could not do anything, but he had perception and knew everything happening around him, but he could not control his body. .

This feeling is like falling asleep, you can hear all the sounds around you, but you just can't wake up.

"That's pretty much it..."

"That ninja from Kirigakure..."

"How abominable!"

Kaede Uchiha's voice sounded coldly. He already hated the ninja from Kirigakure Village. Although the latter did not kill him, it made him feel extremely humiliated.

but……

It also made him re-examine the two teammates.

Although he has no feelings for these two teammates, to him, these two people are just temporary tool men put together to form a team. But it is such a person who will abandon him when he thinks the team is broken up. When he was there, he stayed by his side for four days.

This caused many complicated emotions in Uchiha Kaede's heart.

Even he himself couldn't tell what was going on.

"I see."

After hearing what Uchiha Kaede said, the third generation nodded heavily, but he did not think that the person Uchiha Kaede saw was a ninja from Kirigakure Village.

If he guessed correctly.

that person……

Uzumaki Hidden Village!

The third generation's face became extremely solemn. Now he has truly realized the seriousness of the matter. The potential enemy does not come from the distant Iwagakure Village, but the ninja of the Country of Whirlpool who does not know where he is hiding. .

"Dingzuo, please send them into the tower to rest. I have learned everything about them. What they need now is to rest." Sandai said in a low voice.

"Yes!" Akimichi Choza immediately responded, then nodded to these candidates and motioned for them to follow him.

These candidates immediately left behind Akimichi Choza.

in.

Kaede Uchiha obviously seemed to want to say something, but when these words came to his lips, he didn't say any of them, and he swallowed them all.

There is no need to say anything more.

All that needs to be said has been said.

Now he just hopes that the Third Hokage can catch the ninja from the Kirigakure Village!

All of a sudden.

After Akimichi Tingza left with these candidates, only Nara Shikaku and Sandai were left at the scene.

"Hokage-sama, is this really done by the ninjas of Kirigakure Village?" Nara Shikaku immediately asked doubtfully. He still found such a thing very incredible. After all, how did the ninjas of Kirigakure Village enter Konoha? How come someone from the village appeared in the second round of the Chuunin Exam? This was a question he couldn't figure out.

"It doesn't matter whether this person is a ninja from Kirigakure Village!" Sandai shook his head. Now he already has the answer in his heart, but he can't tell Nara Shikaku these words. He trusts Nara Shikaku, but that doesn't mean Everything he had done must be told to Nara Shikaku, and then he said: "Just make sure that he is not a ninja from the Leaf Village."

"What should we do now?" Nara Shikaku asked again.

"Waiting for Yamayuki Ken's results!" Sandai said with a serious face: "If I guessed correctly, these three ninjas from Iwagakure died on the first day they entered the examination room, and they are only hanging here now. As for that person, he should have left long ago."

"left?"

After Nara Shikaku heard the words of the third generation, the doubts in his head became deeper. His eyes were full of confusion, and he could no longer think of a detailed analysis of what happened in front of him.

after all.

for him.

What you know is incomplete.

For example, about the Uzumaki clan.

He has no relevant information.

Just knowing what happened in the Chunin Examination, all the clues were still very baffling to him.

"I do not really get it."

"How did he enter the second test room of the Chunin Exams?"

"How did you leave again?"

"This kind of thing is too strange!"

Nara Shikaku's mind was still entangled here. Although it seemed like a small matter, it was related to a very important process issue. If he couldn't figure out such a thing, he wouldn't even have the target of suspicion.

"If you can't even do this, there is no need to come here to cause trouble. I probably know the identity of that person in my heart. Let's not talk here anymore. Let's go to the tower."

The third generation waved to Nara Shikaku, and then took the lead to walk into the tower. At this time, he was also thinking about various things in his head.

The Revenge of the Uzumaki Clan Ninja!

This is what is going through the mind of the third generation.

besides.

He couldn't think of any explanation.

But.

This is exactly the result.

It made him feel even more headache.

This might as well just be a conflict that happened during the Chuunin Exams!

If the ninjas of Konoha Village kill the ninjas of Iwagakure Village, they will make some compensation to Iwagakure Village, which means that the big problem can be reduced to a trivial matter. This is not a very difficult thing, especially It is for the third generation.

If the ninja who killed Iwagakure Village really belonged to Kirigakure Village ninjas, as Uchiha Kaede and his companions said, then telling the story could resolve a crisis and transfer the crisis to Kirigakure Village. on the body.

but.

The most difficult thing to deal with.

It was this ninja who was a ninja from the Uzumaki clan, pretending to be a ninja from Kirigakure Village, and killed the ninja from Iwagakure Village.

If this is the case, then he has no way to confirm that this person is a ninja from the Uzumaki clan. After all, the Uzumaki clan has been replaced by a clan. This is something that everyone in the ninja world knows. Then if he had not found out this Uzumaki clan No one would believe such a statement.

But.

If not found out.

Then there is no way to explain it with other words.

After all, if the ninjas of Kirigakure Village are impersonated, then Iwagakure Village will not only not transfer its anger to Kirigakure Village, but will also feel that Konoha Village is deliberately provoking it, and things will become more troublesome. .

"What a troublesome thing!"

The third generation walked in front, thinking about such things quickly in his head. He saw the masked medical ninja in Danzo's room, who he judged to be a ninja of the Uzumaki clan. At that time, he knew The village may become less peaceful.

How long has it been since then...

The Third Ninja War is about to break out now. The village has managed not to be involved in the war for the time being, but the ninja from the Uzumaki clan has already started to cause trouble.

This way.

Things are getting more and more troublesome.

"The Third Hokage-sama!"

Just when Sandai walked into a room on the second floor of the tower, several voices rang together, and the direction of the voices happened to be behind his god.

Suddenly.

The third generation turned his head and looked towards the source of the sound.

He immediately saw two people.

Haiyi in the mountains and Xingjian in the mountains.

"Hokage-sama, Mr. Yamagyuki Takeru has made a judgment, and now I will bring him to report!" Yamanaka Haiichi said in a deep voice.

"Tell me about it." Sandai suddenly became interested and looked towards Shan Xingjian.

"Hokage-sama!"

Yamayuki Ken immediately bowed to the third generation. He was wearing the uniform of a medical ninja. His face looked very serious, and then he raised his head and looked at the third generation.

"The causes of death of these three people are very strange!"

Yamayuki Ken immediately began his analysis. After he said these words, he immediately attracted the attention of Sandai and everyone around him, including Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Haiichi.

Yamanaka Haiichi is the person who came here with Yamaxing Jian.

But he didn't know the specific results.

"What should I say?" Sandai narrowed his eyes again. He had encountered a lot of weird things recently, including these.

After hearing Sandai's inquiry, Shan Xingjian nodded silently, and then began to speak slowly.

"first."

"These three people were all subjected to extremely clean and fatal attacks!"

"Kill with one blow!"

"They all died from being pierced through the heart by the most basic kunai!"

"Secondly."

"A little trace of fighting can be seen on these three people, but it is not obvious. This shows that it was just some small bumps and no restraints that could cause death."

"But there was a lot of water in each of their lungs, indicating that they had drowned, or choked on water."

"at last."

"These three people died three days ago."

"But they died in the Forest of Death. The blood on the bodies was almost drained, but there was no trace of any damage."

"Surprisingly, I wasn't eaten by wild beasts."

"This shows that these corpses are well protected!"

"Based on the above reasons..."

"The time of death of these three people was three days ago, shortly after the start of the Chunin Exams. The cause of death was that a kunai pierced the heart but they had drowned to a certain extent. The bodies were well stored during this period and are still unknown. Unconsciously, I was hung up on a high tower."

"This is so weird!"

Yamagyuki Ken told the third generation about the results of his investigation. He had been very restrained and did not make inferences based on the results of his investigation. After all, it was those people's business. He was too lazy to waste so many brain cells thinking about it. For things like this, I am even more unwilling to let my own possible subjective reasons affect the judgment of others.

"Do you mean..." After listening to Yamagyuki Ken's analysis, Sandai raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "The person who did this has medical skills?"

"ah?!"

Yamayuki Ken was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect this to have anything to do with medical skills, but since it was the Third Hokage who asked this question, he had to think about it and answer it seriously.

Nara Shikaku glanced deeply at Sandai. He was also thinking about these things quickly in his mind, but he didn't think about what was going on.

As Yamayuki Takeru said.

These things are intertwined.

It's really confusing.

Don't really know why this is done.

Yamagyuki Ken thought very seriously for a while, and then his eyes focused on the third generation.

"If we must say whether the other party has medical skills, based on the information I know so far, there is no evidence to prove it for the time being. However, he did hit the heart very accurately. I can only say that the other party is familiar with the position of the heart. !" Shan Xingjian said very seriously.

"I understand, thank you for your hard work." Sandai nodded to Shan Xingjian. He didn't say anything more, but everyone already understood what Sandai meant.

"Lord Hokage, Konoha Hospital is busy with business. If there is nothing else, I will go back first." Yamayuki Ken immediately understood what the third generation meant. There is no place for him to be brave here, so there is no need to stay here.

"Go ahead."

The third generation nodded, and then his face showed a thoughtful look again, and his whole person was immersed in thinking.

Now he is more than 90% sure.

I think people who do these things.

It's the ninja from the Uzumaki clan.

But he didn't have any evidence at all.

Just relying on the feelings in my heart.

"Shikaku, I think these candidates who have not passed the Chunin Exam can be let go. This matter has nothing to do with them." The third generation said lightly. He only took a look at the three Iwagakure villages. The ninja looked like he was dying, and after hearing Yamayuki Takeru's report, and the seal he saw on Uchiha Kaede's body, he was already sure that the person who did this was not the ninja participating in the exam here, but People other than candidates.

"Isn't it a little early?" Nara Shikaku asked after hesitation. After all, once the person who did this thing is among those people, then once they are let go, they want to come over and ask. It’s more laborious.

"They are not from our Konoha Village. There is no point in you forcing them to stay here. Except for the two teams that arrived later, almost all the other teams are here to watch the three Iwagakure with their own eyes. The ninjas in the village were hung up, and they did nothing at all, and this has been proven." The third generation said in a very calm tone.

"I see!"

Nara Shikaku also had this analysis in his mind, but he felt that this was one of many possibilities.

But after he heard the third generation talking about this matter.

Then he moved on to the topic of the third generation.

"I'll let everyone leave when I get out later!" Nara Shikaku nodded and said.

"For those ninjas who pass the second exam, their third exam will be arranged separately. Just tell them to wait for notification." Sandai warned again.

"Yes!" Nara Shikaku responded again, understanding what Sandai meant.

"You find a few sentient ninjas from the mountain clan. I want to know the last memories of these three people. Time must be fast, don't wait for their memories to fade!" After thinking for a while, the third generation still said such a sentence, he He wanted to see what these three people went through before they died, and they died in such a strange way, and he also wanted to see if there was any figure of the Uzumaki clan ninja among them.

"Haiichi is already doing this. Have all the ninjas from the Yamanaka clan arrived now?" Nara Shikaku immediately looked towards Yamanaka Haichi.

"No!"

Yamanaka Hai shook his head, sighed helplessly, and said: "At this time, all sensory ninjas have missions, so they cannot rush here at the first time. They need to finish the tasks at hand. But then, I don’t know when exactly it will come.”

"The corpse has been there for three or four days." Nara Shikaku said helplessly: "You are still at the back of the queue like this?"

"There is no way, the mission process is here. Now all the sentient ninjas who are capable of reading the memories of the dead are carrying out their own different missions." Yamanaka Haiichi spread his hands in a helpless posture, and in the end he was not very willing. Said: "How about I do it..."

actually.

Yamanaka Haiichi didn't want to do the work of reading the memory.

This will cause some damage to him.

This is also the reason why he is here but does not take the initiative to talk about this matter.

Now this time.

That is, as long as you can avoid reading the memory.

Then he won't read the memory.

Unless the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen personally talks about reading memories, he will only choose to go into battle as a last resort.

To know.

Now he is the future leader of the mountain clan.

Reading the memories of dead people was too damaging to him. This was something he didn't want to bear. He wanted to let others do it.

"correct!"

Nara Shikaku's eyes lit up immediately after seeing Yamanaka Haiichi's expression. He had realized that this old friend did not want to read the memory.

If there is no other solution.

Then he could only persuade this old friend.

After all, the Third Hokage is watching from here.

But.

Right now.

A sudden inspiration came to his mind, and he thought of a possibility, which made him feel comfortable.

"Hokage-sama!"

"About the ninja who reads memories..."

"I have someone better!"

Nara Shikaku immediately said to the third generation. His words not only surprised the third generation, but also made Yamanaka Haiichi's eyes widen, filled with doubts.

"Is there anyone more reliable than Haiichi?" Sandai asked doubtfully. He did not force Yamanaka Haiichi to do this, but now the only one who can do this is Yamanaka Haiichi, and Yamanaka Haiichi He can do such a thing perfectly, and now Nara Shikaku's words have attracted all his attention.

"That's right!"

Nara Shikaku smiled and nodded, and immediately began to explain.

"There is someone more suitable here!"

"Haiichi hasn't read other people's memories for a long time. He is very unfamiliar with the secret mind-reading skills of the Yamazaka clan. These ninjas from Iwagakure Village have been dead for several days. This is very important to General Haiyi." It’s no small challenge.”

"However, there is a candidate here. He is not only a member of the Yamanaka clan, but also a ninja who works in the torture department. He uses the mind-reading secret technique more often and more frequently than Haiyi."

"Such a person who is obviously more experienced..."

"More qualified for such a job!"

"I think that person is more suitable!"

Nara Shikaku's eyes flashed with brilliance. He had transferred these things to another person. He stared at the third generation and deliberately prolonged his voice.

"That person is..."
