The difference between a sheep entering a tiger's den and a tiger entering a flock of sheep...
Lies in one's own strength.
In the eyes of Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Root, Yagami had all his power sealed at this time, so he was naturally a tiger without claws and teeth, ready to be slaughtered.
But in Yagami's eyes, this place was simply paradise!
He, who hated evil like fire, entering the Konoha Prison was like a sex-starved ghost entering a brothel...
Like a fish in water!
Outside the prison, the Anbu ninjas each revealed sinister and terrifying sneers.
And in the darkness deep within the prison, the group of criminals they had arranged long ago had eyes gleaming with ferocious cold light.
They were like bloodthirsty beasts, sharks, smelling blood...
Already parched and hungry, preparing to properly torment Yagami.
The Anbu had told them the truth.
The criminals held here all hated Konoha Village to the bone.
And Yagami was not only a Konoha ninja, but also a member of the Uchiha Clan and the Police Force.
For them, he was the best candidate to vent their hatred and anger.
Even...
These Anbu members had even slightly unsealed some of their power...
One Anbu member said coldly, "You can begin."
However, Yunu Jirou decisively stopped him.
"It's still broad daylight, after all, and the situation isn't clear yet. Someone might come over at any time."
"Let's wait until night..."
"Do you understand?"
The evil spirits hidden in the darkness snorted one after another, panting defiantly.
But they dared not disobey the Anbu's orders.
Because that meant even more terrifying consequences.
Yunu Jirou watched this scene with satisfaction and nodded.
"Let's go."
"Uchiha Yagami, we will meet again tomorrow."
"If..."
"You can still see the sun tomorrow."
He and the few Anbu ninjas' figures disappeared into the darkness.
Inside the prison, only Yagami and those heinous criminals remained.
In their eyes, Yagami was a sheep entering a tiger's den.
Little did they know...
They were the sheep.
Falling into the tiger's mouth.
...
He closed his eyes and began to trigger the flaw previously hidden within the double seal.
It was a tiny, insignificant amount of Chakra.
It looked like a grain of sand on a grand building.
However, by just slightly moving this grain of sand, the entire massive building instantly crumbled and collapsed with a roar!
This was precisely the Mangekyo Sharingan dōjutsu...
Kushimitama!
Every ninjutsu has its weakness.
And Kushimitama can pinpoint its weakness with extreme precision and provide the method and power to break it!
In an instant.
Click.
Like the sound of a lock opening, the double seal that sealed Yagami's Chakra and power...
Was released in response!
The tiger had broken free from its chains!
That was craving to hunt.
Quietly waiting for the night to fall.
...
Inside the Konoha Hospital.
Uchiha Fugaku first led the Police Force to visit Aoki and Yamagaze.
However, Aoki still hadn't woken up.
When Yamagaze saw the large entourage, he guessed that something big must have happened.
Captain Yagami had rushed out of the hospital with such momentum before; with his personality and methods, he would never be unharmed.
"Clan Leader, Captain he..."
Uchiha Fugaku patted his shoulder and forced a smile.
"Just focus on recovering from your injuries. I will handle Yagami's matter."
Hearing him say that, Yamagaze knew his worries were not unfounded.
"How is Aoki?"
Yamagaze shook his head: "The doctor said he's still the same. Whether he wakes up depends on his own will to live..."
Uchiha Fugaku gazed deeply at the young face on the hospital bed.
"Don't worry, he will definitely wake up."
"Okay."
Just then, there was a soft knock on the door outside the ward.
Uchiha Fugaku nodded, and a member of the Uchiha Clan opened the door.
The figures of three men appeared before everyone.
Hatake Kakashi, Yamanaka Inoichi, Morino Ibiki.
Uchiha Fugaku couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart.
Good heavens...
These three men represented the Anbu Headquarters, Intelligence Analysis, and Interrogation and Torture departments, respectively. It could be said that they were truly all here...
However...
Uchiha Fugaku quickly judged that this should not be Sarutobi Hiruzen's intention.
Although he agreed to have Hatake Kakashi thoroughly investigate the matter, the person who least wanted it to be investigated clearly was himself.
So, was this Hatake Kakashi's decision?
No wonder Yagami chose him to preside over the investigation...
That guy's eyes are truly sharp...
These thoughts were merely fleeting.
Uchiha Fugaku looked at the three men, his brow slightly furrowed, and said, "Do you want to start the investigation now?"
Hatake Kakashi gave a wry smile.
"Uchiha Fugaku, please forgive me. This matter is of great importance and cannot be delayed."
"However, for fairness, impartiality, and a thorough investigation, I have specifically invited Inoichi and Ibiki to participate in the investigation together. This way, there will be no omissions."
Morino Ibiki's gaze was like electricity, his face full of scars looked shocking, and combined with his vulture-like eyes, he was a truly formidable character.
However, Uchiha Fugaku wasn't worried about him.
This man would stop at nothing for information.
The only thing he sought was the truth.
The problem was Yamanaka Inoichi.
The Ino-Shika-Cho families of Konoha Village were truly the backbone.
The Nara clan, serving as advisors to the Hokage generation after generation, could be called the strategists, brains, and think tank of Konoha Village.
The Yamanaka clan held great power in the Intelligence Analysis department.
The Akimichi clan also had many talented individuals; Akimichi Torifu, Akimichi Dōtō, and Choza Akimichi were all powerful fighters.
However, the Ino-Shika-Cho had close ties with the Sarutobi Clan.
Each generation's Ino-Shika-Cho clan leader would, under the witness of the Sarutobi Clan leader, make a heartfelt vow before the inherited earrings to jointly protect their families and the village.
It could be said that Sarutobi Hiruzen was the witness for the Ino-Shika-Cho.
Could Yamanaka Inoichi truly not favor the Sarutobi Clan?
Facing Uchiha Fugaku's gaze, Yamanaka Inoichi seemed to guess his thoughts but neither avoided nor dodged.
Uchiha Fugaku pondered for a moment and said, "Aoki is not out of danger yet."
"If you want to investigate thoroughly, take Yamagaze, but..."
"I have a condition."
Hatake Kakashi said, "Uchiha Fugaku, please speak."
"This matter involves both the Anbu and the Police Force, yet the investigation is currently led only by the Anbu. This is unfair, don't you think, Captain Kakashi?"
Hatake Kakashi was startled but nodded honestly.
"That is true."
"Then, I request to bring Elder Yashiro to participate in the investigation together."
"This..."
Hatake Kakashi scratched his head and sighed.
"Alright, Uchiha Fugaku's words are indeed reasonable."
"Inoichi, Ibiki, what do you think?"
Morino Ibiki remained silent but nodded.
Yamanaka Inoichi said, "I also think this is a very natural choice."
Uchiha Fugaku glanced at him: "Thank you."
"Elder Yashiro."
"I understand, Clan Leader."
"Yamagaze?"
Uchiha Yamagaze stood up resolutely: "Don't worry, Clan Leader, this matter will eventually come to light!"
"I will definitely get justice for myself, for Aoki, and for Captain Yagami!"
"Let's go!"
He was the first to walk out of the ward, unable to resist looking back at Aoki, who was still unconscious.
Hatake Kakashi, Elder Yashiro, Yamanaka Inoichi, Morino Ibiki, and their group nodded slightly to Uchiha Fugaku and followed him out.
Uchiha Yakumi saw them leave and quickly reminded, "Clan Leader, with Elder Yashiro, Yamafu should be fine, but, about Yagamk..."
Uchiha Tekka also said anxiously, "Yes, Clan Leader, Yagamj killed Sarutobi Asuma. Sarutobi Hiruzen hates him to the bone, not to mention he was imprisoned in the Anbu Prison, where he also killed many people. How could they let him go?"
"Perhaps..."
Uchiha Fugaku raised his hand to stop them.
"Yakumi, send someone to guard the hospital and ensure Aoki's safety."
"I will go to the Anbu Prison myself!"
"Yes, Clan Leader!"
