Chapter 266: Progress
"Mr. Kakashi, you've been looking for a month, why haven't you heard from the daimyo yet, the daimyo hasn't met with the minister for a long time, and many ministers have become suspicious, and if it goes on like this, I can't hide it, how serious the consequences are, you should know." The left minister, Yoshiro Duanpei, angrily asked this Kakashi, Yoshinari Duanpei is an outstanding figure in the Yoshinari family, a great nobleman of the country of wind, and has ascended to the position of the left minister ten years ago, becoming one of the hundred officials, and his power is all over the country.
However, with the growth of the daimyo's son, another force based on the son's family gradually rose, and with the acquiescence of the daimyo, another force opposed to the Yoshinari family gradually formed. And the disappearance of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind, Yoshisei relied on strong means to hide it, but as time passed, the pressure on him became more and more great, and all kinds of rumors circulated in the community.
Kakashi was embarrassed, he had done his best to search for the Daimyo of the Land of Wind, but the limited information he had so far made it difficult for him to find clues. Even Parker's sensitive nose couldn't smell any traces, which made him wonder if the Daimyo of the Land of Wind was still alive in this world.
"Yoshisei-sama, we Konoha will do our best to find the daimyo, but I think it is still necessary to let Childe Marutsu know about the disappearance of the daimyo." Kakashi replied expressionlessly, he only knew after arriving in the capital of the Wind Country that the situation here was actually so complicated, and before that, the Sand Ninja Village did not provide him with much information.
After transmitting the actual situation back to the village, Tsunade replied with only four words: "Camera action", and Kakashi knew that this mission was an important one that could affect the entire world if it was not handled properly.
"You don't have to worry about this matter, I will inform Childe at the appropriate time." Zuo Minister Yoshinari looked a little displeased, and issued an expulsion order after Kakashi said this.
The corners of Kakashi's mouth slightly**, suppressed the anger in his heart and left the Left Minister's Mansion.
"Kakashi-sensei", Kamikaze, Natsu no Gen, and I, who were waiting at the door, came up.
"Let's go back first", Kakashi said coldly, this Yoshinari is not a good thing anymore, but for the sake of stabilizing the overall situation, he has to be vain.
"How's it going?" Kakashibu asked after getting down the soundproof barrier.
"Kakashi-sensei", Dongtian's voice came from the communicator in Yi's hand, "Yoshinari Duanpei has been doing a lot recently, and many of the news of the recent riots coming from various places was released by him, and he will send his cronies to operate in various places under the pretext of quelling the turmoil. ”
Kakashi nodded, there were two groups of people supported by Konoha this time, he took the three of Gen in the light to attract the attention of others, while the three of Dongtian, Qingtian and Hakuten acted in the dark to find out the news.
"What about the right minister?" It's been more than a month since the incident was born, but the right minister, the water curtain borer, hasn't shown this matter yet, it's really strange, and Kakashi is too sensitive because of his identity, so it's inconvenient to ask directly.
"Bai disguised himself as a doctor and successfully infiltrated the mansion of the right minister, and it has been confirmed that the right minister's illness is fake, and the real sick person is Childe Maruzu, so although Lord Mizumu has been suspicious of Lord Yoshisei for a long time, he has been holding back and not having a head-on conflict." Dong Tian continued.
"Wait, you mean Childe Marutsu is in the Right Minister's Mansion? The one who is now in the Daimyo Mansion is-", the news was so shocking that it was completely unexpected by Kakashi.
"Is it a stand-in?" Kamikaze didn't believe it, "If that's the case, it's impossible for Minister Zuo not to show up." ”
"But in this way, doesn't it make sense? The left minister deliberately concealed the disappearance of the daimyo, and the right minister didn't seem to want others to know about Childe's illness, so it was possible to form the current situation, right? Yi carefully analyzed.
"It's very likely that Yi said, and Childe Marutsu, as the only heir to the Daimyo of the Land of Wind, actually fell ill at this time? Is it a coincidence? Or is there a reason? Dongtian's tone was solemn, and things seemed to be getting more and more complicated.
"What is it?" Kakashi was very confident in Haku's medical skills, and he had heard Rin mention her talent for medicine more than once.
"I don't know.,According to Shira, Gongzi Marutsu seems to have some kind of strange disease.,Usually it's no different from ordinary people.,I can't see anything wrong.,But once you do it, it's like crazy.,Extremely irritable and don't let others get close.,Even the right minister has been kicked out.。 The right minister was very concerned about the son, but he was worried that the left minister would know about it, so he announced that he was sick and did not see outsiders. At present, there are many doctors who have been sought by the right minister, but none of them can find out the cause of the disease, and in order to keep it secret, all the doctors who enter the right minister's mansion are not allowed to leave until the childe's illness is cured. Dong Tian continued.
Kakashi frowned, he had been frowning more and more since he took over this task, and he didn't even realize it, "How can this be?" ”
"But-", Dongtian's voice paused, Bai had mentioned a situation, and he was a little hesitant to say it.
"But what?" Kakashi's voice asked awe-inspiringly.
"Bai said that Childe's illness seems to be getting more and more frequent during this time, he once saw Childe from afar, and he felt a trace of evil breath from Childe's body." Dongtian thought about it and reported it truthfully.
"Evil breath?" Kakashi's tone rose slightly, it wasn't that he didn't believe Shiro's feelings, it was just that he didn't understand what this evil aura represented, "Can you get in touch with Shiro?" ”
"Shiro will contact us in two days, but now we can't reach her." Dong Tian replied immediately.
"Yes, you continue to monitor the whereabouts of the Left Minister and the Right Minister, and we will continue to attract their attention in the open." Kakashi nodded and turned off the communicator.
"What do you think?" Kakashi sat down and motioned to the kamikaze trio standing aside.
Kakashi was the first to answer Kakashi's question, saying, "Minister Zuo seems to be laying out something, but it's just that it's not yet possible to determine his intentions. ”
"It is not surprising that he has been in power for so many years as a minister of the left. What is strange is that the right minister, it seems that he can't get out because of Gongzi Maruzu's illness, but from the moment he quietly puts pressure on the left minister, he is definitely not an incapable person. Moreover, Minister Zuo's power is not small, and it is difficult to say that he does not know about the disappearance of the daimyo. Yi took over the topic, and he had his own unique side of seeing things with a vicious eye, "As for Minister Zuo's scheme, if he knew that the prince of the Daimyo Mansion, Maruzu, was fake, his actions could not be more reasonable." ”
Well! Kakashi nodded, motioning for Iku to continue.
Xia Zhiyuan had already been in a daze for a long time, and he didn't know what he was thinking about, so he didn't listen to Kakashi's conversation with Kamikaze and Yi at all.
Kamikaze glanced at him helplessly, and saw that Kakashi didn't say anything about Gen, so he could only remain silent.
"The right minister gives me the feeling that he is waiting for something to happen, the strangest thing is Childe Maruzu, after his father disappeared, he didn't react at all, does he really know nothing? But what I have heard so far proves that Childe is definitely not a simple person, otherwise the right minister would not have followed him to rise to the top. Yi's finger tapped his chin, and a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his eye, "Moreover, I heard that he is a very filial son." ”
Kakashi and Kamikaze are both eye-catching, and they really seem to have overlooked something these days, such as Childe Maruzu.
Kakashi's gaze stayed on I's side for a moment before he retracted it, and it was an unexpected appearance, he didn't expect that I, who was usually low-key and didn't have a sense of existence, would actually think so quickly, the more he looked deeper, the more he realized that he had really ignored a lot before.
"If that's the case—" Kakashi tapped his finger lightly on his eyebrows, "It seems that we should pay a visit to that prince from the Daimyo Mansion." ”
Since it is suspected that the prince of the Daimyo Mansion is fake, the best way is to verify it in person, and you can also use this to observe the reaction of the left minister, Ji Cheng Duanping.
With the direction, Kakashi's mood was much more relaxed, and there was a kind of relief that had been suppressed for a long time to be released, "Kamikaze, immediately inform Shinobu that we are going to meet Childe tomorrow." ”
The Right Minister was in a private residence on the outskirts of Beijing, and at this moment welcomed an important guest-the representative of the Sand Ninja Elite, the most powerful Sand Ninja Elder at the moment-Maki, and it was Kankuro who accompanied him to the capital with Kakashi.
Ma Ji's expression was indifferent, his eyes were deep, and he couldn't see any of his emotions, just silently listened to the right minister sitting opposite him to vent his bitterness.
"Lord Markey, you have seen the current situation in the Land of the Wind, the Daimyo has not shown up for a long time, and Minister Zuo is aggressive, not allowing us to meet the Daimyo, the ministers have all come to my house, for the stability of the Land of the Wind, I have to drag my sick body to meet the Lord. The adults probably also heard the rumors, the daimyo did not show up for a long time because he was under house arrest by Minister Zuo, although I believe in Minister Zuo's loyalty, but the air ** wind may not be without a reason! The Right Chancellor had something to say, and it seemed that he was testing Markey's reaction.
Markey still has a poker face, and his tone is so old-fashioned that there is no change in tone: "So Mizumaku-sama also suspects Yoshisei-sama?" ”
"How could it be-", I couldn't see Ma Ji's attitude, the right minister was a little unsure of his thoughts, and continued to probe: "Over the years, the daimyo has been a strong supporter of the sand ninja, without the daimyo, how could the sand ninja support the defeat of the war." And all along, the daimyo has never made any demands on the Sand Ninja, and always says to us courtiers that the Sand Ninja Village and our Wind Country are one, and when the Sand Ninja Village is strong, our Wind Country will be peaceful, and the difficulties of the Sand Ninja Village are temporary, and we must fully support the Sand Ninja Village to tide over the difficulties. ”
Although the right minister's performance was already full of tears, but Maki was still indifferent, Kakashi's efforts during this time, he was clear, and he also believed that things were not simple, so he pressed the elders of the Sand Ninja Village not to make a decision too early, so as not to fall into the calculations of others.
Since the task was handed over to Konoha, he still trusted Konoha quite a lot, after all, Konoha has been there for so many years, and the credibility of completing the task is there, and the person who came this time is Konoha's movable type signboard, a well-known copy ninja, if even he can't uncover this bureau in the Land of Wind, he doesn't think that who of them has this ability. It's not that he looks down on the abilities of his own people, but that's what it is, and he sees it very clearly.
"The Daimyo's support for the Sand Ninja Village, we Sand Ninja have always kept it in mind, I will go to see the Daimyo, find out the reason why the Daimyo, who has not seen the ministers for a month, for the stability of the Land of the Wind, Lord Mizumak should try to set an example, and stabilize people's hearts." Markey was very conservative in his proposal.
"That's the best", the right minister breathed a sigh of relief and said carefully: "We all hope that the messages outside are fake, but if something really happens to the daimyo, I hope that Sand Shinobu can stand on Childe's side." This last sentence is what the Right Minister really wants to express.
Do you want to make your own commitments? Ma Ji replied quietly: "Minister Right, don't worry, we Sand Shinobi are definitely not ungrateful people. ”
"Take me to Mr. Kakashi", saying goodbye to the right minister, Maki immediately said to Kankuro that it was time to communicate with Kakashi, after all, no matter what Shinobi did next, he must have Konoha's support.
"Mr. Markey," Kakashi looked at the visitor with some surprise, "I'm about to contact you." ”
Seeing Kakashi's suggestive look, Ii pulled Natsu Nogen and Kamikaze out of the room together, "I'm so sleepy!" Yi glanced at Kankuro, who had disappeared for a long time and suddenly appeared at the door, stretching his waist, looking lazy and not waking up.
Not surprisingly, Kankuro threw a disdainful look at Yi and moved his gaze to the ground to count the ants.
Natsu Zhiyuan was unaware of the discordant atmosphere between Yi and Kankuro, and was pulled forward by the kamikaze, and the kamikaze, who had everything in his eyes, only smiled faintly at Yi's behavior.
Yi chose to avoid Kanjiuro's contempt, and if he despises it, he despises it! High-profile, it's enough to have Kakashi, Azuki and their seniors, and he doesn't mind being a neglected bird in the light of his predecessors at all.
