Uchiha Sasuke closed his eyes suspiciously, and decisively activated his talent "Eternal Memory".

Then, I carefully recalled Eri's specific statements at that time, frame by frame.

//

"Yeah, that's right, it's just flowers. Yes, roses, a big bunch, very gaudy."

Eri put her hands behind her back, her cheeks blushing.

“Love is like the spring breeze;

"Longing thoughts are like the stars in a summer night;

“You are the eternity of my life, the autumn leaf;

"You are my only home, the snow in winter.

"Well, it's about like this. I can't recite it well."

Eri stuck out her tongue embarrassedly, with a mischievous look on her face.

"By the way, there was another time. It should have been yesterday, oh, the morning of May 20th.

"He got a pipa from nowhere and stopped on the way to get off work. While singing, he asked him to date and so on."

Then, Tiantian got angry.

//

Wait!

and many more!

Uchiha Sasuke suddenly opened his eyes. He was sure that his memory would not be wrong. He rewound the tape again and recalled it clearly in his mind:

What Eri was talking about was blocking my way “off work”! !

Later, in other testimonies, it was all attributed to information such as "morning" and "eight o'clock in the morning".

And this was exactly where Sasuke instinctively sensed that something was wrong with her.

Uchiha Sasuke hurriedly told Uzuki Yugao this information.

Upon hearing this, Mao Yue Xi Yan was also shocked.

It is obvious that the other party has tampered with the time clue.

If the other party finally gives a confirmed time of "morning".

If this statement is false, then the reverse is true.

On that day, the exact time when the fake Neji actually went to confess his feelings with the pipa was most likely "afternoon".

Mao Yue Xi Yan thought for a moment and then immediately said:

"In that case, doesn't that mean there are two Neci at the same time?!"

On this side, Uchiha Sasuke stood up excitedly, as there was a major breakthrough in the case.

However, it is still impossible to confirm where Hyuga Neji is now.

However, he was 100% sure that there was an invisible web of conspiracy that was slowly unfolding around Hyuga Neji.

Now, as long as we wait for the group of birds that were chasing Eri to send back news, there will definitely be a new breakthrough.

Who is this civilian nurse who seems to have a clean background?

Who instructed or coerced him?

Uchiha Sasuke paced back and forth excitedly, constantly sorting out the myriad clues that continued to emerge based on the new information.

"So, the Neji I saw in the Hyuga residence that day must be the real one?"

Uchiha Sasuke stopped and turned to ask Uzuki Yugao who was standing beside him.

The other party shook his head slowly and said calmly:

"No, there is another possibility, that is, these two Ningis are both fake."

Chapter 258: Learning from Others

Uzuki Yugao's words made Uchiha Sasuke's heart, which had just brightened up, sink to the bottom again.

"So, what is the real Hyuga Neji like now?"

Uchiha Sasuke was anxious. The uncertainty of his friend's life or death made him extremely angry.

"Are you sure that the Hyuga clan is behind this?"

Uchiha Sasuke was filled with murderous aura and turned to ask Uzuki Yugao.

Otherwise, who else could it be?

After noticing that something was wrong with Sasuke, Uzuki Yugao was shocked at first, but soon she calmed down again and said slowly:

"There is no evidence."

After a pause, Mao Yue Xi Yan continued:

"I want to remind you. Right now, the ninja world is in the midst of a major change that has not happened in a hundred years.

"The sudden rise of Akatsuki and Orochimaru completely disrupted the balance of the five major ninja villages that had lasted for decades.

"Right now, there are countless eyes outside watching us eagerly."

After a pause, Mao Yue Xi Yan said seriously:

"I don't need to explain the significance of the Hyuga clan to the Hidden Leaf Ninja Village.

"And the importance of Konoha to the ninja world is also self-evident.

"One thought can turn into a river of blood."

After hearing the teachings of his superior, Uchiha Sasuke understood very well that what Uzuki Yugao said was right.

But his face still maintained an angry expression.

Then, Uzuki Yugao said softly:

“When we, the Anbu, carry out external missions, we emphasize being clean and efficient, leaving no traces.

"But when dealing with things internally, it has to be the other way around, with evidence and procedural justice always being important.

"I don't know why you suspect the Hyuga clan, but let's just assume that they are the ones behind this.

"With or without evidence, if we go ahead and make trouble, it will lead to two completely different situations for you, the Hokage, and the Hyuga clan."

Perhaps it was because of Uzuki Yugao's gentle tone, Uchiha Sasuke gradually calmed down and remained silent.

“After coming back, have you adapted to life in the village?”

Mao Yue Xi Yan sighed.

It seems that all the information she could help Uchiha Sasuke analyze has been analyzed.

As for what happens next, Mao Yue Xi Yan, who has handled many cases, knows very well that this is not something that can be rushed at this moment.

Besides, it was already dark.

She was heard making small talk, trying to soothe Sasuke's frayed nerves.

"I've also heard about what happened in the Sand Village. It was very dangerous at that time, right?"

Seeing that Sasuke didn't answer, Uzuki Yugao brought up another matter.

"Thank you, Senior Xi Yan."

However, Uchiha Sasuke did not appreciate it.

He stood up, bowed sincerely to express his gratitude, and continued:

“I have other things to do, so I won’t stay any longer.

"After this matter is over, we will find time to reminisce about the past."

At the moment, Uchiha Sasuke was full of anxiety and just wanted to leave here as soon as possible.

On the opposite side, a trace of disappointment flashed across Mao Yue Xi Yan's eyes.

But she soon regained her calm expression, smiled faintly, stood up, and walked out with Sasuke.

"Please stay. No need to see me off."

Outside the gate of the Anbu base, Uchiha Sasuke said politely.

After a year of training, the young man now looks much more mature than he was at this time last year.

"Well, I wish you good luck. If you need me for anything, feel free to come find me in the Anbu."

Under the moonlight, Mao Yue Xi Yan's purple hair fluttered in the wind.

Although, there was still a smile on his face.

But there was still a hint of melancholy between his brows, like a touch of loneliness in the cold wind.

"Thank you so much. You've been a great help."

Uchiha Sasuke thanked him sincerely again, then turned around and walked into the night breeze.

The night is deep.

The cool night wind blows quietly, bringing a little chill but still gentleness.

It gently brushed Uchiha Sasuke's cheek, like a lover's whisper, gradually soothing the restlessness in his heart.

Calmly, Sasuke has already determined where the next breakthrough will be.

One is the whereabouts of "Ningji";

One is the result of "Eri".

These two people can be said to be identified as "problematic" targets of investigation.

As for Neji, after a day, there was still no news.
