An ANBU looked at Shinji and asked slowly: "Is this the whole story?"
"Um."
Shinji nodded honestly.
He said everything except what he shouldn't have said.
Anbu asked: "According to your description, the mysterious man's strength should be far better than yours. Why can you escape so easily?"
Shinji shook his head: "I don't know."
This is the truth. If the mysterious man continues to pursue them, none of them will be able to escape.
The ANBU did not dwell on this question and continued to ask: "Is that ninja cat your psychic beast?"
"Well, I went to the Cat Country to make a contract not long ago. The pass to leave the village was issued for me by Mr. Iruka. He can certify it for me."
ANBU glanced at Shinji: "We will verify it."
Afterwards, the ANBU pondered for a moment and asked: "Have you... noticed any abnormal behavior of Uchiha Sasuke?"
"What's abnormal?"
Anbu considered his words and asked slowly: "For example, when he was taken to the root base, was his panic an act? Or, when you escaped together, was he using you to resist the root ninjas?
pursuit?"
Shinji frowned.
He realized that the ANBU was suspicious of Sasuke.
This is not a good thing for him. No matter how many doubts there are about Sasuke, as long as he has not done anything, he can eventually investigate them clearly. Therefore, if he follows the ANBU's suspicion and puts the matter on Sasuke, he will surely suffer the consequences in the future.
of.
So he replied: "I am in charge of the rear. It was a strategy that was discussed from the beginning. He did not take advantage of me."
Anbu emphasized his tone: "He didn't induce you?"
"No!" After shaking his head firmly, Shinji asked, "Why do you ask that?"
Because Shinji was also one of the parties involved, the ANBU did not hide anything: "The place where you were before was a secret facility in the village. Just when you were escaping, a theft occurred there, and we were in a secret facility not far from the scene.
Found Sasuke's location."
Shinji asked: "What was lost?"
"lost..."
Halfway through, ANBU suddenly got stuck.
What was stolen from the root base was the Sharingan. Danzo was furious, and all the ANBU present at the time knew it. But he just couldn't say it was the Sharingan in front of Shinji, an Uchiha.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Shinji changed his mind: "Could it be the mysterious man who attacked us in the Death Forest?"
"Um?"
Anbu was stunned for a moment.
Shinji continued to make nonsense: "After he attacked us, he suddenly disappeared. Maybe he followed us to that facility."
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." After a pause, the ANBU said: "Okay, you can go."
Shinji nodded, and before leaving the interrogation room, he asked again: "Where is Sasuke?"
Anbu waved his hand: "You don't have to worry about him, he is in the Hokage Building!"
After sorting out Shinji's confession, the ANBU also left the interrogation room.
Another ANBU guarding the door saw his colleague coming out and asked, "How is it?"
The Anbu who interrogated Shinji said with a smile: "This kid doesn't know anything. It seems that he was kept in the dark the whole time."
"I heard that his performance this time was very impressive?"
The Anbu who interrogated Shinji shook his head: "It's a pity that he hasn't opened his eyes yet. In terms of potential, he can't compare to Uchiha Sasuke."
Shinji's side.
When he went downstairs, he happened to meet Neji who had also just finished his investigation.
The two nodded and walked outside together in silence.
Shinji was silent because he was sorting out this operation and checking whether he had exposed any flaws.
Neji was silent because today's events had hit him too hard.
He didn't expect that the soft fist that he was so proud of would be so vulnerable, like a joke in front of the mysterious man.
At the same time, he had to admit that when facing a strong enemy, Shinji's response was better than his.
Just like that, the two of them walked out of the ANBU building together.
"They're out!"
With a loud shout, the students standing outside greeted Shinji and Neji.
Looking at a large group of people including Shiro, Kaoru, Tenten, Xiao Li, and Naruto, Shikamaru, Chouji, Hinata and others from Sasuke's class, Shinji asked in confusion: "What are you doing here?"
Tiantian said: "If it weren't for you three, we might have suffered."
Shikamaru also said: "You saved our lives today!"
Naruto looked into the ANBU building: "Where is Sasuke?"
"Sasuke is still in the Hokage building." After a pause, Shinji said: "We are all fine, don't worry."
Ziyuan popped out of nowhere and suggested: "Let's go have barbecue together to celebrate!"
Shinji and Neji couldn't resist the kindness of their classmates who wanted to repay them, so they were dragged to the barbecue restaurant.
Everyone ate barbecue and chatted about the mysterious man who appeared in the Forest of Death today.
The terror of the mysterious man is still fresh in everyone's memory.
Many of the people present were descendants of the Blood Successor Family or the Secret Art Family. I had seen many powerful ninjas in my daily life, but none of them could compare with the mysterious man who appeared today.
The opponent is the kind of strong man who can scare a crowd into immobility simply by relying on his momentum.
It is precisely because of the terror of the mysterious man that Shinji, Neji, and Sasuke, who dared to stand up against the mysterious man, became idols in everyone's eyes.
Shion said to everyone carelessly: "What I said is right, Shinji is very strong, stronger than you all!"
Shinji had a dark look on his face: "Hey, you're not here today, so don't talk nonsense!"
When Shinji said this, Shion regretted loudly: "I didn't expect your ninja school to be so fun. I want to go to the ninja school too!"
the other side.
Hinata came to Neci: "Brother Neci, thank you for saving me today!"
Ningci's face was as cold as frost: "I can't bear Miss Zong's thanks, and I have no intention of saving you today."
"Brother Ningji..."
Hinata was a little at a loss.
The students on the side started whispering when they saw this.
"What's going on? Aren't Neji and Hinata from the same family?"
"Shh, don't talk nonsense. Hinata is the head clan of the Hyuga clan, and Neji is the branch clan..."
"Is there any difference? Doesn't Hinata still call Neji brother?"
"In short, Neji doesn't like to mention family matters to others."
Listening to the comments of others, Neji subconsciously reached out to touch his forehead, but when his hand reached mid-air, he made a fist and put it down.
Clan family, branch family...
In the eyes of others, it may be just a title.
But only when you are in it can you understand the bitterness of being separated.
Although Neji is young, he has tasted too much the bitterness of family separation.
"I have something else to do, let's go first!"
Without waiting for anyone to respond, he stood up and left.
Looking at Neci's leaving figure, Shinji thought thoughtfully and secretly said in his heart: "The caged bird...the reincarnation eye..." This chapter has been completed!
