Chapter 26: Incident occurs, Anbu takes action

Uchiha Jin and Shisui looked at each other, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

However.

Since it was the Hokage's order, the two naturally didn't dare to hesitate and hurried toward the Hokage Building.

Along the way.

Shisui's expression was calm, while Uchiha Jin's eyes flickered slightly.

Yes.

He probably already knew what it was about.

If his guess was correct, it should be that yesterday's incident had been discovered.

Thinking of this, his mood was heavy.

Although he hadn't expected this matter to be completely hidden, the village's reaction speed still exceeded his expectations.

Too fast!

It happened last night, and today it was not only discovered but also traced back to him.

You have to know that at the scene in the Forest of Death, he had also left a Kumo ninja corpse!

However, it didn't matter.

He believed in his methods of cleaning up, confident that there were no traces pointing to him at the scene.

Ten minutes later.

The two arrived at the Hokage Building and pushed open the Hokage's office.

Uchiha Jin narrowed his eyes.

But upon seeing the crowd in the office, he couldn't help but let out a gasp.

Led by Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Konoha F4 were all present, in addition to Fugaku Uchiha, Jonin squad leader Shikaku Nara, Analysis squad leader Inoichi Yamanaka, Anbu captain, etc...

It was likely that this Anbu captain was Shinnosuke Sarutobi, right?

After all.

Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't be willing to give such an important department as the Anbu to anyone else.

Hiruzen Sarutobi sat behind the desk, looking at the two young men, a look of contemplation in his eyes.

A moment later.

He looked at Uchiha Jin and asked with a smile.

"Uchiha Jin, right?"

"According to the Anbu's investigation, you seemed to have had some contact with Uchiha Yoshio and the other two yesterday."

"Now these three people are missing, and you were the last person to have contact with them."

"I need you to tell me everything you know, exactly as it happened."

"This matter is very important!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's tone was gentle.

He didn't mention what had happened, just asked simply.

Don't talk about death, just talk about disappearance!

This was normal.

After all, for such an important matter, Uchiha Jin's status was too low.

Unless it was thoroughly confirmed that he was involved, the specific situation wouldn't be told to him.

Shisui frowned upon seeing this.

As a genius, he often dealt with high-level officials, so he knew very well that with such a big formation, it was absolutely impossible that it was just because of the disappearance of a few Uchiha.

It was precisely because of this that he became more worried.

He was truly afraid that Uchiha Jin would be involved in this matter.

And, on the other side.

Even Uchiha Jin, who understood his nature, felt a bit dazed for a moment, but quickly regained his composure.

He didn't hesitate.

He bowed slightly and began to narrate slowly.

"Yesterday at noon, after I finished eating, I was indeed blocked by Uchiha Yoshio and the other two."

"They wanted to beat me."

"I was no match for them, so I fled in a panic and finally hid at the edge of the Forest of Death."

"I don't know what happened after that."

"Finally, when it was almost night, I didn't see Uchiha Yoshio chasing me, so I thought they had given up, and I went home to sleep."

"..."

Uchiha Jin told his story.

After finishing, he lowered his head and bowed, not saying another word.

Yes.

Having lived in Konoha for so many years, he was very familiar with how things worked here.

Don't look at Hiruzen Sarutobi as a kind-hearted person in the village; in truly formal occasions, he was quite particular about the rules of hierarchy.

Small fries like him had no right to ask questions.

The others frowned slightly, but no one spoke.

Silence!

Everyone was thinking about the authenticity of his narrative.

And, just at this moment.

Shisui couldn't help it and spoke up.

"Hokage-sama, what exactly happened?"

As a genius, he naturally had certain privileges. ===== CHAPTER 27 =====
