Chapter 94: You Can Arrest Others, but Not Hinata Shizuka!
It's so good, why did he hand over the ANBU? Now that it's fine, it's impossible for him to take it back.
The key is that even if he wanted to, Tsunade wouldn't let go.
In the end, when the Anbu could not be dispatched, the Third Hokage could only mobilize several ninja teams from the family to perform this task.
Two days later, three teams composed entirely of ninjas from the Sarutobi clan came to the Rain Country camp and found the camp commander Nara Shikakushin.
"Lord Lu Xin, this is what Hokage asked me to give to you."
As the team leader, Sarutobi handed the scroll he brought to Nara Shikashin. If they wanted to investigate and carry out tasks in the camp, they needed Nara Shikakushin's permission.
Nara Shikashin opened the scroll and took a look at it, and asked doubtfully: "Shouldn't such a task be carried out by ANBU?"
Ever since the members of the Hyuga clan disappeared, Nara Shikashin had been prepared for ANBU to come to investigate. His idea was simple, that is, he didn't know!
No matter who asks me, I don’t know.
You can investigate as you like, just don't look for me.
In addition, Tsunade has become the ANBU minister, so the ANBU would not dare to embarrass Shizuichi.
As a result, after waiting for so long, the ANBU people didn't wait. Instead, people from the Sarutobi clan came with orders from the Third Hokage.
"We don't know much about this either." Sarutobi answered truthfully.
As the Hokage of the village, he was unable to mobilize the Anbu to carry out tasks. The Third Hokage would not tell anyone about such a shameful thing, nor would the Hyuga clan leader.
Because if word spread, it would be equivalent to offending the Third Hokage to death, and then the Hyuga clan would be waiting to be targeted.
Could it be that Tsunade-hime used her strength?
Nara Shikashin pondered for a moment and put the scroll away.
"Since you are here with Hokage-sama's orders, I will cooperate with you as much as possible."
Nara Shikakushin chose to cooperate, and Sarutobi breathed a sigh of relief. He was most afraid of Nara Shikakushin doing Tai Chi. If he didn't support or object to it, they wouldn't be able to let go at all in the camp.
"Thank you Lord Luxin for your support."
"It should."
Nara Shikashin smiled and nodded. I just said that I will cooperate with you. As for the extent of cooperation, it is not up to me.
Sarutobi couldn't conduct an honest investigation because this was what the Hokage requested.
Fortunately, with Nara Shikashin's cooperation, the investigation progressed quickly. Some ninjas who had impressions of the missing persons were secretly interrogated, and all signed confidentiality contracts after the interrogation.
Soon, the information was sorted out, and all the information pointed to the direction of the medical room.
Someone once saw that the Hyuga clan went directly to the medical room after arriving at the camp. As for whether they actually went to the medical room, the other party was not sure.
"very good."
All the intelligence points to the medical room, and the subsequent investigation will be much simpler. Just bring the suspects over for interrogation.
Sarutobi was not a member of the ANBU, and did not have the right to directly arrest people for interrogation. He could only ask Nara Shikashin for help.
After hearing the other party's request, Nara Shikashin said in surprise:
"You mean that a member of the Hyuga clan has disappeared, and Hyuga Shizuichi is the biggest suspect?"
"Yes."
Sarutobi nodded heavily: "Lord Luxin, all the intelligence clues point to him. It seems that the Hyuga clan is here for him, so I suspect that the missing person has a lot to do with him."
"Please also ask Mr. Lu Xin to capture him and cooperate with the investigation."
"What?"
Nara Shikashin stood up in surprise.
"???"
Sarutobi's face was filled with questions.
No, why are you so surprised? If the suspect is identified, he must be arrested and interrogated.
Whether Hinata Shizuichi did it or not, we will know after interrogation.
"What did you just say?" Nara Shikakushin asked.
Sarutobi looked confused: "I suspect that the missing person has a lot to do with Hinata Shizuichi."
"Not this sentence, the next one."
"I would like to ask Mr. Lu Xin to arrest him for our investigation."
"Yes, that's it."
Nara Shikashin made a fist with his right hand and patted the palm of his left hand: "Now I understand."
Now that you understand it, it will be easier to handle.
Sarutobi felt that this mission would be over soon. If he didn't have the right to arrest people directly, there would be no need for him to come to Nara Shikakushin.
If it were Anbu, they would arrest people immediately, no matter who you are.
"Sorry, I can't do it."
Nara Shikashin shook his head regretfully.
Sarutobi: "???"
No, what does this mean?
As the camp commander, you are the boss of the camp. I want to arrest people to cooperate with the investigation, but you tell me that you can't do it?
"It can be done by someone else, but not Hinata Shizuka."
Nara Shikaxin was very embarrassed.
"Why?"
Sarutobi didn't understand.
"Because the headquarters and the medical room are two systems. I am in charge of combat operations, and everything in the medical room is under the control of Ri Xiangjing. Even if I have more power than him, I can't order him, let alone arrest him for investigation. ”
Nara Shikashin felt more and more uncomfortable the more she talked about it.
"At that time, I advised Hokage-sama not to arrange it like this, but Hokage-sama didn't listen to me. Can you tell me, is this reasonable?"
"Is it reasonable?"
"..."
That’s so reasonable! !
Sarutobi was numb.
He came to carry out the mission with the order of the Third Hokage. When he saw that the progress of the mission was almost completed, he suddenly found that he was being held back. The person who held him back was the same person who issued the mission.
After a moment of silence, he asked helplessly:
"So, without the latest order from the Hokage, we can't catch anyone?"
You are unlucky to be sent to carry out this mission.
Nara Shikako looked at him sympathetically and added:
"Not only that, but also the order of Princess Tsunade is needed, because the person was arranged by Princess Tsunade to represent the village medical system. By the way, now there is one more Anbu."
Gah! ! !
Sarutobi Tsurugi put on the mask of pain directly.
He finally knew why the Anbu was not dispatched for this special mission. This was not an investigation mission at all. It was clearly a landmine.
"Senior, help me." Sarutobi Tsurugi was a little anxious.
He didn't want to return to the village to report with the blame for not being able to complete the mission.
I dare not help you, I am afraid that Princess Tsunade will hit me.
Nara Shikako smiled awkwardly and did not respond. Anyway, I have said everything I should say. As for how to do it, that is your own business. Don't involve me.
Sarutobi Tsukuru can see that Nara Shikako does not want to be involved in this matter at all.
At this moment, Sarutobi Tsukuru also experienced the feeling of being caught in the middle and being neither a human nor a human.
"Then I can go directly to the other party to ask and investigate, right?"
If you can't arrest someone, then take a polite approach and go directly to the other party. Everyone sits down and talks politely.
"It should be... probably... okay, right?"
Nara Shikako said uncertainly: "After all, the medical room is not under my control, and there are a large number of injured people in the medical room. Ordinary people are not allowed to approach, and I am also very embarrassed."
It should be a fart! !
Sarutobi Tsukuru understands that Nara Shikako is just shirking responsibility!
