The next day, early in the morning.

The cold wind blew all night last night, thick clouds gathered, snow fell in the sky again, and the temperature dropped suddenly.

In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen was sitting at his desk reviewing documents, with a cup of strong tea beside him and a pipe in his mouth, which was filled with smoke for a while. A thin layer of frost had condensed on the glass window behind him. Through this fan-shaped glass partition, the hazy snowy scenery of Konoha could be seen at a glance.

At this time, Tsunade in a blue robe walked in. Her delicate face was a little rosy due to the cold. She said with a bored look on her face: "Old man, tell me, what do you want from me?" Her tone was not good.

She had always been a little angry because of Senju Yueying's capture. Such a dangerous spy had been left undetected in the village for so many years. This was a very serious problem. Fortunately, Senju Yueying was only slightly injured and she did not have an attack.

She was just about to go to the hospital this morning when she was summoned by the messenger ninja, so she was in a very unhappy mood.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also heard the resentment in Tsunade's words. He was helpless and a little sad. I don't know when this former disciple began to have an invisible barrier with him, and he also resigned from most of his positions. , sometimes he no longer even obeys the orders he gave in the name of Hokage.

He moved his eyelids subtly, knowing that now was not the time to think about this. He calmed down his emotions, exhaled a puff of white smoke, and asked in a warm voice: "Are those children okay?"

"No, what's going on?" Tsunade waved her hand.

"It's good that you're not seriously injured!" Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, and then said solemnly: "I need you to do something while you go to the hospital."

"Hospital? What's going on?" Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen's serious expression, Tsunade also became a little more serious.

"I need you to observe this child Uchiha Aoba." Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly stated his purpose, "If possible, ask him some questions, including about the opening of his eyes, the origin of his ninjutsu, and about Thoughts about this incident and so on.”

"Do you want to use this to judge how to treat him?" Tsunade was keenly aware of the hidden meaning of the third generation.

"Yes." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, and at the same time picked up a report and handed it to Tsunade, "According to your inquiry about Yuki Sakura, one of his Sharingan has reached the level of three magatama. This kind of eye power is rare in Uchiha. There are only a few members of the clan who have reached the level of Jonin, so we must carefully consider how to treat this child."

"This, this, this is..." Tsunade's red lips parted slightly, her pretty face extremely surprised.

"You read that right, this is his resume report at the ninja school that I asked someone to investigate last night." Sarutobi Hiruzen said this, his tone became more and more solemn, "All the exams he took during the two years at the ninja school, Whether it is the written test or the ninjutsu assessment, he will always get the first place.

"The most shocking thing is that he has borrowed nearly two hundred books in two years, covering many fields such as ninjutsu, history, politics, etc. In other words, he may have already had his own mature thoughts, so he cannot simply Treat him like a little kid.”

"One hundred and eighty-seven books, is this really something a 7-year-old child can do?" Tsunade asked in amazement.

"Indeed, if it weren't for the fact that he possesses the Sharingan, which is the most advantageous proof that he is indeed Shogo's son and was born in Konoha, I would probably suspect that an enemy spy used some weird ninjutsu to change his appearance. The little gangster entered Konoha." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.

Tsunade was speechless, just nodded slightly as she looked at the report.

Sarutobi Hiruzen continued to tell his opinion: "Originally, I wanted him to stay in the ninja school and continue his education, and I would arrange it later, but after reading this report, I think I need to ask him what he thinks.

"But he developed his Sharingan to this extent at the age of 7. It can be seen that his heart is extremely sensitive to external things, so I can't go there in person, otherwise the purpose will be too obvious, which may cause him to hide his thoughts .”

"Then why do you think it's suitable for me to go?" Tsunade asked doubtfully.

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled faintly and said: "First, you can appear as Yuki Sakura's elder instead of other ANBU personnel who will make him wary; second, speaking of it, he saved Yuki Sakura this time, so You should express your gratitude to him, and during the subsequent chat, you can guide the topic in a timely manner without the purpose being too obvious;

"Third, you are a medical ninja. You can be his attending doctor, which makes it easier to gain favor. Fourth, he and Xueying are classmates. After fighting together this time, they should have a good relationship, so there are some too direct questions. You can ask Xueying to ask at normal times as a classmate.

"One last point, I will find an ANBU to act out a scene with you. The ANBU personnel will find Uchiha Aoba and adopt a tough attitude, shaking his head and asking questions. At this time, you 'happen' to show up and reprimand him on the grounds of recovering from his injuries. That ANBU, drive him away and then take care of his injuries, so you can quickly gain his favor and trust."

Tsunade listened dumbly to Sandai's description of his perfect plan, with a slight twitch in the corner of her mouth.

"Huh?" Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned when Tsunade didn't speak, "Are there any problems with this plan?"

"No." Tsunade shook her head quickly, and looked at the third generation warily, "Old man, you are too scheming. Goodbye!"

She waved her hand and walked out of the office quickly, as if she was staying away from some dangerous zone.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's face suddenly darkened, as if he was breathing heavily in his chest. He looked at Tsunade's back and said angrily: "Discourteous! This is for Konoha!"

……

Konoha Ninja Hospital is located in the west area of ​​the village. It is a five-story square building with a door opening to the east and a large word "medical" on it. It has milky white walls and light orange window sills, while the glass windows are blue-green. Surrounded by a wall on the outside, the main door is open. There are two round white lampshades on the double gates at the door. There is a luxuriant grass in the open space between the wall and the building.

The Ninja Hospital is dedicated to serving ninjas. The injuries or diseases suffered by ninjas are generally different from those of ordinary people, so it is not open to ordinary people during non-special periods.

In a ward on the third floor of the hospital, the curtains were drawn, the windows were half-open, and there were two beds. Qingyu was sleeping on the bed near the window, unconscious.

"Uh-huh!" He suddenly moaned softly, startling Kakashi who was sitting on the other bed.

Kakashi was not seriously injured, just excessive chakra consumption and some minor superficial injuries, and he woke up long ago. When he heard the noise, he quickly climbed out of bed and walked to Qingyu's bed.

"Qingyu, Qingyu." He called in a low voice.

"Hiss——!" Qingyu slowly opened his eyes and frowned tightly. At this moment, he felt that his brain was in a state of turbidity and there was a slight bulging feeling, as if something in his head was expanding in circles. I wanted to shake my head, but I suddenly had a headache, so I had no choice but to give up.

He blinked his eyelids several times, his eyes bloodshot, and he finally saw the person in front of him clearly.

"Kakashi, where are we?" His remaining memory shocked him, and he asked in a vague voice.

"It's at the hospital. It was brought by the jounin who came for support. It's fine now." Kakashi said with a smile.

"Oh!" Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief, and then lay down safely again, but suddenly there was a pain in his right hand. He quickly turned his head and saw that it was wrapped in a tight bandage.

"They said that your internal organs were impacted, and your right hand was affected by the power of Thunder Release, which was the last ninjutsu you used. You probably need to rest for a while." Kakashi saw his doubts, so he told him about his injuries. .

"Yes." Qingyu nodded clearly, then looked at Kakashi, "Are you guys okay?"

"Our injuries are not serious. Yukio-san and Sasagaki-san are in another ward." Kakashi replied.

Upon hearing the news, Qingyu smiled reassuringly.

While the two were talking, a masked ninja walked in, wearing gray soft armor, gray arm guards, and carrying a long knife on his back.

"Uchiha Aoba, I need to ask you something." The masked ninja said coldly, "Please answer truthfully."

When he saw this ninja, Qingyu's heart skipped a beat, but he calmed down immediately. He had already thought about how to deal with these situations if he dared to save Senju Yueying. His appearance and age were the best protection. No matter how crazy the Sandai and Danzo were, they would not regard him as a monster and dissect him.

The worst result is to be monitored by the ANBU, or Danzo makes him go to the ANBU to dig out his eyes, but the possibility of the latter is so small that it is almost impossible. After all, he has exposed so many things, which is enough to reach the evaluation of a genius. If the third generation of such a genius still hands himself over to Danzo, then he has a flaw in his mind, and he must also take into account the attitude of the Uchiha clan.

Thinking of this, he calmed down a lot and then started to perform. First, he showed a moderate expression of doubt, and then a faint look of fear.

"Who are you? What right do you have to question me?" he asked.

Kakashi stood aside and looked at the masked ninja warily.

"Hmm..." The masked ninja thought for a while and replied: "I am a root member. I hope you will cooperate with my work and answer questions truthfully, otherwise I will take you away for interrogation."

Roots? Qingyu was startled and horrified. Is it true that there is something wrong with these three generations? They let their roots come to interrogate me like this.

"What are you doing?" Just as he was asking for countermeasures, a female voice came, interrupting his conversation with the masked ninja.

Tsunade had a strange expression on her face at first, but the moment she came in, she immediately turned into an angry expression. She glared at the masked ninja and said, "You are from that department, don't you know if both of them are injured? What are you doing?"

"Tsunade-sama." The masked ninja greeted slightly, "I am a member of the Roots and I was ordered to conduct a routine inquiry on Uchiha Aoba."

Once again, he emphasized his roots and took a stand.

Roots? What is this old man doing? Tsunade cursed in her heart, but the show had to go on.

"He is a wounded person and is not suitable for questioning. Let's go!"

"Tsunade-sama, I am Bong..."

"Just leave as soon as I ask you to leave, don't talk nonsense." Tsunade frowned and said angrily.

"Can……"

"roll!"

The masked ninja clenched his fists, as if he had no choice but to leave angrily.
