After Hozuki Mangetsu left through the secret passage, Hatake Satoru looked up at the ceiling.
Then, a silver thread hung down, faintly shining silver in the dim light.
A spider hung from it, a row of black eyes round and staring at Hatake Satoru.
Hatake Satoru casually poked the little spider's belly, and curse power quickly filled the spider's body.
The silver thread swayed a few times in the air, and the spider quickly disappeared.
"I'm not a god. How could I know what's happening here all the time?"
Hatake Satoru's eyes slanted up slightly, revealing a playful smile.
This kind of spider is like a monitor. Hatake Satoru definitely has to place a few in places that hide secrets.
When he's bored, or when outsiders arrive, he can observe the situation here through these things.
So he can know everything about whether the mechanisms in these places can be used, what things are hidden where, and whether they have been discovered.
If the situation weren't so delicate right now, Hatake Satoru could directly teleport Hozuki Mangetsu to Kirigakure.
But Hozuki Mangetsu's sudden disappearance is already a bit hard to explain, and if he disappears too, it would be a bit troublesome.
Hatake Satoru pushed his sunglasses up his face and stepped onto the windowsill with a long stride.
Then he opened the window, and his whole body disappeared behind the curtain.
A night breeze blew through, and the curtains fluttering from the round window kept shaking.
"Huh? Why is that window open?"
Someone who had been surrounding the area suddenly asked strangely.
Their eyes should all be on that window. Why did the curtain suddenly fly out?
In their memory, no one should have come out of there just now.
"I don't think I saw anyone come out of there just now... Send someone over to take a look."
The person who seemed to be the leader cast a cautious look at the window and said to the person next to him.
The higher-ups haven't given any clear orders yet. They are essentially just monitoring the people inside and have no other rights.
The group of people who were guarding Hozuki Mangetsu were actually the same. However, their mission also included not allowing anyone to approach Hozuki Mangetsu.
In this helpless situation, they had no choice but to attack Hatake Satoru, and, of course, they were all killed.
Several people looked at each other, and finally one unwillingly walked out and cautiously jumped down under the window.
"I really don't want to see that guy..."
It would be fine if he were a friend, but as an enemy, no one wants to go up against Hatake Satoru.
That guy has a good temper, but his strength is too terrifying. You never know when you might die.
The ninja standing by the window held his breath and listened for a while. The room was dead silent, without even a sound of people.
Either the people inside are waiting to ambush the people outside, or the people inside have already left.
Neither of these options sounds good.
The ninja couldn't help but take a deep breath, then nervously clutched a kunai in one hand and pulled open the curtain on the window with the other.
But what followed was a flood of light. The pale light shone in the room, but the room was already empty.
This location is the kitchen window, and the light shines in from the hall, not from here.
So why is the window here open? It shouldn't be that they didn't notice all this time.
The ninja looked around strangely. There was nothing special on the ground or the table.
"It seems like there's no one here anymore."
The ninja gave a signal to the team behind him, and then, after notifying the front door via walkie-talkie, the two teams entered from the window and the front door respectively.
But as the people outside the window said, at this moment, there was indeed no one in this place.
Whether it was Hatake Satoru or the former Mizukage Hozuki Mangetsu, two living people had simply disappeared in a room.
A wave of goosebumps rose on the arms of the group of people. Several people rubbed their arms and looked around, and then began to search seriously.
They opened all the curtains and searched all the places where people might be hiding, but the two people seemed to have evaporated into thin air and nothing was found...
"All the windows are closed except the one in the kitchen, and the curtains are all drawn."
"Is this an escape room?"
A large group of people gathered in the room. There were quite a few of them, and they looked quite intimidating standing there like this.
But it was useless to have so many people here. They still lost the people they were chasing.
Suddenly, a strange laughter came from above their heads. It sounded like a broken mechanical noise.
"Hahahaha..."
"What is that thing?!"
Everyone looked up together at the same time. In the light, the group quickly found the spider that was not even as big as a finger.
The spider hung down from the air, a pile of big and small eyes staring at everyone, the dense black bean eyes reflecting the light in the air.
"A talking spider?!"
"What kind of weird stuff is there in this place?!"
It's like a prank room. There's even something like this in the air.
They've been here many times before, but they never found anything like this, because this place hasn't been lived in for too long, so these creatures have started to mutate.
They already felt like Hatake Satoru was researching something unknown, and now it looks like he's.
Probably researching how to make bugs talk.
"Idiots. The people are already gone. What are you still gathering here for?"
"Idiots, idiots."
"The evidence has all been trampled on by yourselves. Now you really can't find them. You've messed up big time."
The spider made a stumbling, electronic sound. This voice was a bit like Hatake Satoru, of course, in terms of how annoying it was.
Hatake Satoru also likes to make fun of people like this, but he might curse less often.
"Evidence?"
The group of people looked at each other in confusion, and then they realized that because they had been walking back and forth in the kitchen, the footprints in the dust were already a mess.
The same was true for places like the hall. There were their messy footprints everywhere.
The traces left by Hatake Satoru and Hozuki Mangetsu after the first person came in were already indistinguishable.
