Chapter 378: The Vortex of Doubt
"Was the Hokage really seriously injured at your hands?" Onoki held back the anger in his heart and continued to confirm in a deep voice.
"Yes, I hit the Hokage in the chest with a secret technique, and he probably didn't want to risk fighting me with a serious injury, so it shouldn't be a shadow clone." Chi nodded solemnly.
"That's right, is there any other important information?" Onoki looked at Blaze expressionlessly.
"That's all there is to it, everything else is trivial."
"That's the case, go back and recuperate well, Iwa Ninja Village is worried about internal and external troubles, and the next time is inseparable from you!" Onoki reassured.
"Thank you for your concern, my injuries are no longer serious, and I can contribute to Iwa Shinobi Village at any time!" Blazing said respectfully.
"Well, but let's rest for a few days, there is no sign of Konoha Village attacking the land country, there will be nothing to do in the near future, take care of your injuries first." Onoki looked concerned and hypocritically concerned.
"Yes, then I'll go back first." Chi didn't insist, and after listening to Onoki's persuasion, he retreated.
Blazing already knew the news of the death of the loess in battle, and in addition to really wanting to contribute to the Iwa Ninja Village, which had suffered heavy losses, he also had personal ambitions in it, and his chances of succeeding to the position of Tsuchikage now have greatly increased.
"Judging from the time, the Hokage captured Koroi after they encountered the blazing queen, so the Hokage should not be injured; Kei Kosugi and the others were killed cleanly, and they didn't go through a hard battle like Blazing said! Is this guy really colluding with Konoha Village in order to become the earth shadow? Ohnoki's nose was red with anger, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.
Onoki sat alone in the office in silence, his hands clenched into fists, quietly waiting for Yushi to come and make a final report.
After a long while, Yu Shi gently pushed open the door of the office, found that Onoki's mood was not right, and carefully reported, "Tokage-sama, the investigation against Kei Kosugi has been completed. ”
"Speak!"
"Yes," Yushi still doesn't know what Kei Kosugi reported that made Onoki so angry, and reported the truth: "The Iwa Shinobi brought back by Kei Kosugi was killed at the same time, and almost didn't react, including Kei Kosugi, they were all injured exactly the same, and they were all kunai straight into the heart!" However, Kei Kosugi was lucky, and he escaped death because his heart was deviated. ”
"What's going on with Kei Kosugi's heart, was it born like this?" Onoki asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, by birth, this is documented in the medical records of the past." Yu Shi solemnly gave an affirmation.
"You go on."
"After this period of full confirmation, Kei Kosugi has no problems, has not been captured, and has no experience of illusion or altered memory, so it can be confirmed that what he said is true!" Yu Shi very seriously reported the conclusions given by the Iwa Shinobi Shadow Department to Onoki.
"Oh!" Onoki replied in a flat tone, as if this result was expected by him.
"Is something wrong, Tsuchikage-sama?" Yushi asked cautiously tentatively.
"Now I can tell you the information, the information reported by Kei Kosugi is that Blazing colluded with Konoha Village to harm the Iwa Shinobi army, in order to get rid of the Loess that competes with him for the position of the Tsuchikage and threatens the huge one." Onoki looked at Yu Shi and said with a blank expression.
"What?" Yu Shi's face was full of horror after listening to Ohnogi's words, and then he retorted in disbelief: "This, this is impossible, right? How could Blaze do that? If he wanted to be Tsuchikage, he would definitely not do such a thing that would cause a huge loss to Iwa Ninja Village, right? ”
"I can't tell, maybe it's because Chi thinks that as long as the loess is alive, he can't be the earth shadow so he made this decision!" The fact that Loess died on the battlefield interfered with Onooki's judgment, and instead of believing that Loess died because of Onoki's own wrong orders, Onoki certainly preferred to believe that Loess died in a blazing conspiracy, which would make him subconsciously feel better.
In the case of subconsciously inclined to believe that Blazing really colluded with Konoha Village, there are many things that Onoki himself will give reasons that can convince him, and then sit on the matter of Blazing's collusion with Konoha Village, not to mention that there is now sufficient evidence in front of him.
Yu Shi frowned, although he was a member of the Onoki party, he still couldn't believe that the Blazing Society was the kind of person who betrayed the Iwa Ninja Village.
"Blazing told me that he encountered the Hokage in the country of birds, and led Kei Kosugi and other sixteen people to fight to the death with the Hokage, retreating while fighting, and in the end he was the only one who survived, and took advantage of the Hokage's carelessness to injure the Hokage, and only escaped with his life!" Seeing that Yushi was suspicious, Onoki said calmly: "You also saw the corpses brought back by Kei Kosugi, do they look like they have gone through a hard battle?" ”
"Is that what Blaze said?" Yu Shi asked in surprise when he heard this.
"Just told me in my office."
"This, could it be, could it be that after the Blazing fled back, in order to boast about his exploits and increase his prestige, he said that he injured the Hokage?"
"Then how did he escape from the Hokage's pursuit, the Hokage was able to kill the loess characters under the protection of many Iwa ninjas on the battlefield, and he could use the Flying Thunder God technique, would he let the enemy commander escape from under his nose?" Onoki asked angrily.
"This?" Yu Shi was also asked, although he was willing to believe that Chi would not be that kind of person, but the investigation of Kei Kosugi and those corpses was also carried out by him personally, and the injuries of the corpses were obviously different from what Chi said, and Yu Shi couldn't figure out what was going on for a while: "Then what are you going to do?" ”
"It's an extraordinary time to continue to put Blaze in a high position! If Chi really did these things, then if he got a little bit of rumor, he would probably jump over the wall in a hurry and directly help Konoha Village attack Iwa Ninja Village, and then everything would be over! Onoki frowned worriedly.
Yu Shi nodded when he heard this, and said with the same concern: "Then are we going to take him down directly?" But that would have too much effect, and it would probably make the people on the other side think that we were deliberately suppressing them, and that if there was dissatisfaction, something would go wrong. ”
"You're right," Onoki nodded in agreement, and pondered for a long time before he spoke again: "How about letting Chi confront Kei Kosugi in front of everyone, and give him a chance to explain, if there is really a problem, those family forces behind Chi will have nothing to say." ”
After thinking about it, Yu Shi felt that it was very safe, and there should be no problems, and then agreed: "This is feasible." ”
"Without further ado, you go and prepare, it's arranged for tomorrow!" After making a decision, Onoki ordered with an expressionless face.
"Yes!" Yu Shi bowed respectfully.
