Chapter 416
Captain Yamato's exclamation broke the silence at the scene and attracted the attention of the two people and one beast present.
Naruto shook his head and hurried over to Captain Yamato's side, asking with concern, "What happened?"
Captain Yamato opened the book in his hand with a serious expression and explained to Naruto: "I found this in Sai's backpack...
Apparently, it is a register used by ANBU members to record assassination targets, also known as an 'assassination record'."
Each page clearly printed a person's photo, not only from the front, but also with side and back photos. Below the front photo, there was detailed information about the person.
Sakura stared at the symbol on the note and said thoughtfully: "This X... ...could it be a mark indicating that the target has been cleared?"
Her words stunned Naruto. He widened his eyes and said in disbelief, "But why would Sai carry something like this with him?"
Sakura noticed that Captain Yamato was flipping through the notebook in his hand, and when he turned to a certain page, his eyes suddenly widened as if he had discovered something shocking.
Then, Captain Yamato quickly handed the page to the two people beside him and said eagerly: "Take a look!"
Naruto was closest to Captain Yamato and took the paper first. When he saw the contents on the paper, he couldn't help but screamed, "This... This is..."
His voice was filled with disbelief and astonishment. At this moment, Sakura realized the seriousness of the situation. She hurried forward to see what was going on.
When she saw the person on the paper, her heart sank - it turned out that Sasuke's name appeared on Sai's assassination list!
This shocking discovery made Sakura fall into deep thought.
Could it be that Sai's goal was far more than just forming an alliance with Orochimaru? Or could it be that from the very beginning, Sai's mission was to assassinate Sasuke...
All kinds of questions came to Sakura's mind, making her feel unprecedentedly confused and uneasy. She couldn't help but recall every detail of her previous interactions with Sai, trying to find some clues from them, but she still couldn't figure it out.
At this moment, a terrible thought flashed through Sakura's mind: If Sai really intended to attack Sasuke, then they must take action as soon as possible to protect Sasuke's safety.
Captain Yamato muttered to himself, "It hasn't been marked with an X yet... Is it? So that's how it is..."
Naruto looked at all this in disbelief. Even before... Sai had smiled sincerely at him when he thought of his dream of being with his brother. There was a hint of trepidation in his tone, "What on earth is going on?"
Captain Yamato's tone was also a little nervous, "Perhaps, Sai's mission is not to be the contact between Orochimaru and Danzo, Sai's real secret mission is..."
Sakura took over Captain Yamato's words, "Is it to assassinate Sasuke?"
Captain Yamato nodded, "If it is the person who holds this assassination list, it is possible that he would do such a thing."
However, faced with such a complex situation, how should they deal with it?
For a moment, a tense atmosphere filled the air. The three of them were silent, each thinking about their next plan.
