The investigation of a disappearance case is never easy to uncover the truth.

Although the original book did not specify how long Orochimaru had been hiding before the ANBU under the Third Hokage discovered anything fishy, ​​but Shoji's analysis of the current situation indicates that this time point will definitely not be less than a month or two.

Even if the ANBU specializes in this area, Orochimaru's methods are definitely beyond the reach of ordinary people. Even the general feels that if Orochimaru is not too rampant and arrests too many Konoha ninjas in a row in the following period, even the third generation of Hokage may not be able to do so.

You can catch the tail.

Because, in a country and a ninja village, it is normal for people to disappear occasionally. The disappearance of ninjas is not unprecedented. Some enemy spies will attack these people in order to detect intelligence. Over the years, Konoha has not encountered similar incidents.

The situation is that the Third Hokage initially believed it was an act of an enemy country. He really didn't want to believe that it was done by his own family, let alone Orochimaru, his once most valued disciple.

There are spies who have been successfully captured and brought to justice.

There are also spies who remain in hiding and even eventually escape and return home.

These people are still like this.

If Orochimaru had been more cautious.

The number and frequency of arrests should not be so high. Even the village may not be able to detect the behavior of one of the Konoha Sannin.

This has a two-way effect.

Therefore, when the ANBU conducts a blanket search, they will definitely be able to catch the traces of Orochimaru's appearance. What Shoji has to do is to find the definite evidence before other teams. After all, he knows that it was Orochimaru who did it.

But to prove this, you need evidence!

This is one of the Sannin of Konoha.

The hero of Konoha whose prestige is second only to the Third Hokage.

From World War II to World War III, Orochimaru, as the commander-in-chief, led thousands of Konoha ninjas to take charge of one side of the battlefield. During World War II, Hiruzen Sarutobi's most preferred candidate for the fourth generation was actually Orochimaru, but Orochimaru was obviously the one later.

The further he went, the more he went sideways. At that time, it was not about research, but after experiencing the death of many companions and close friends, his temperament began to change. Orochimaru, who gradually became indifferent, became less and less popular in the village, and people treated Orochimaru.

Maru, one of the three ninjas, only had "awe" and no love.

Correspondingly, Tsunade is the granddaughter of the first Hokage, and Jiraiya has a cheerful and outgoing personality. Orochimaru was gradually eliminated from the list of candidates for the fourth generation, although the fourth generation later became Minato Namikaze, not Tsunade.

, not Jiraiya, but that was also because Tsunade left the village on her own initiative, and Jiraiya himself was unwilling to serve as the fourth generation.

if not.

According to normal order and prestige.

The Yondaime must be one of the three ninjas, either Jiraiya or Tsunade.

It's hard for Minato to be here.

Therefore, from here we can see how high Orochimaru's status is in the Konoha Ninja Village. To put it bluntly, as long as he does not want to rebel against the village, no one can do anything to him.

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen, who is both Hokage and teacher, cannot easily shake Orochimaru's status.

Even Orochimaru like this still has his own group of loyal subordinates in the village, which were cultivated after two ninja wars.

From this point of view, Shoji is more inclined to believe that in the original work, it was actually Orochimaru himself who had long wanted to defect. The series of disappearances looked more and more like Orochimaru himself deliberately staged it, and he wanted to do something.

You must find some solid evidence, and you must also pay attention to methods and methods.

Otherwise, it is easy to get angry.

Of course, if the risks and benefits really do not match, Shoji will take the initiative to change his pace and paddle directly to test Sarutobi Hiruzen. There are not many opportunities, but it is not just this time. There is no need to hang from a tree until death.

.

That's something a fool would do.

Moreover, Orochimaru is not an easy person. Even if Shoji himself is confident enough to suppress Orochimaru in this period, he can take risks that are not necessary.

'It still depends on how it develops next, but at least there is nothing wrong with collecting more first-hand information!'

The general took his three subordinates and headed back towards the location of Anbu's base, thinking silently in his heart.

In the next few days, the general continued to lead his team to perform routine search tasks. He did not go overboard and conduct crazy searches, but he also had no intention of making any mistakes. He just stayed loyal to his duties and abided by his responsibilities.

We will carry out the tasks assigned by us without any compromise.

But it must be said that Orochimaru is indeed an expert in this field. Under the strict investigation of the two ANBU teams and dozens of elite ANBU, no trace was actually exposed. You must know that among these people

There are many ninjas who are good at tracking, such as the Inuzuka clan and the Aburame clan.

Just like this, in the past week since the order was issued.

It cannot be said that there is no gain.

All I can say is that no useful information was found at all.

Including some inbound and outbound foreign business travelers, as well as dignitaries and nobles, under the orders of the Third Hokage, these ANBU sneaked in to investigate, but there was still no effective information. Not to mention the ANBU below, even the Third Hokage.

When receiving feedback from the two dark captains, their brows were furrowed.

This is indeed a bit uncharacteristic!

It also cast a heavy haze deep in the heart of the Third Hokage. However, ordinary people could not detect such a large-scale search by ANBU. However, Shimura Danzo, an elder of Konoha, and Orochimaru could understand a thing or two.

.

It is even an exaggeration to say that Danzo Shimura received the corresponding information almost at the moment when there was movement in the ANBU, even though he did not know what tasks the two major ANBU teams were going to perform.

But considering the current situation in the village, Danzo could guess it just by using his brain a little.

'Has Orochimaru's side been discovered? Humph, I've told him a long time ago that we need to be more secretive. This guy is getting more and more out of control now! We must find some way to contain him, now

It's not time for him to be exposed yet. To deal with Hiruzen, we still need this guy!!'

In the root base.

Danzo was leaning on a wooden staff, and there was a gleam of forlorn color in his exposed pupils, and he was thinking secretly in his heart.

Danzo cooperates with Orochimaru not only to borrow Orochimaru's research capabilities, but also plans to use Orochimaru's card to attack his old partner, Sarutobi Hiruzen, at certain critical moments!
