Chapter 63: Ch.63 Again?
Taking advantage of the commotion caused by Tenten and Shion engaging in their second bill-paying war, Uchiha Shinji quietly slipped out of the barbecue restaurant.
Walking down the bustling streets of the Hidden Leaf, his expression was solemn.
The last message from his shadow clone indicated that it had sacrificed itself to destroy the trap hidden in Danzo's secret vault in order to protect Coalball.
So even as the mastermind, Shinji wasn't sure if Coalball had succeeded.
But no matter how curious he was, he couldn't summon Coalball right away to confirm the situation.
Though the operation seemed successful, it had been incredibly risky.
With only three suspects—Sasuke, himself, and the mysterious attacker—it was easy for the village to investigate them all at once.
At the moment, it appeared Sasuke was the prime suspect, but Shinji knew that he, too, had likely fallen under the scrutiny of the village's higher-ups.
"Will the village subject Sasuke to a mind interrogation?"
Shinji wasn't sure.
Mind interrogations involved probing into mental realms, and any slight mistake could damage the subject's brain. Without conclusive evidence, the village likely wouldn't resort to such aggressive measures on Sasuke.
