Chapter Seventy-Three: The Murderer Uchiha Itachi
"Yong, why are there ninjas from Fog Hidden Village here?" Tsunade looked at the corpses all over the ground and turned his head to ask suspiciously. "And the strength of the sneak attackers is all at the level of upper ninja, is it possible that the fog is ready to start a war with us?"
Uchiha Yong shook his head slightly, to be honest, he couldn't figure out what the other party meant, although the lineup of the sneak attack was not bad, it was unlikely that this combination would want to keep the two here completely.
It's not so much an assassination as an attempt to test his strength, but no matter what purpose the fog is in and he does the assassination of Konoha higher-ups, then prepare for his counterattack.
"Let's go back to the village first, Tsunade. After dealing with the matter at hand, I will definitely let Wuyin Village give an explanation. The murderous aura overflowing from Uchiha Yong's bland words made Tsunade on the side shudder.
Just as the two were talking, there was a noise in the woods.
"Someone!" Tsunade immediately made a vigilant gesture, after all, he had just been attacked by a sneak attack, and when he heard the movement, he couldn't help but worry that it was the other party's follow-up support.
Shizune and Kakashi came out of the woods one after the other, and when they saw the people clearly, Uchiha Yuu showed a slightly disappointed expression and said with some regret.
"Kakashi? How did you guys keep up? ”
Kakashi saw the corpses all over the ground, smelled the pungent smell of blood in the air, and glanced at the unharmed Uchiha Isamu again, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and swallowed the worried words again. Calmly replied.
"Lord Yong, when I was resting just now, I heard the sound of a fight coming from here, and I was afraid that you would have an accident, so I rushed up!"
However, in this situation on the scene, my worries are also superfluous, the chakra fluctuations that came here just now are definitely not something that ordinary ninjas can cause, and it is really terrible to see the appearance of Lord Yong's light and breeze.
Shizune also covered her mouth, especially when she saw a corpse that was limp on the ground like a mess of rotten flesh, and her eyes looked at Uchiha Isamu with a little fear.
As Tsunade's apprentice, she could clearly observe that this was not the teacher's fighting style, and judging from the injuries, it was self-evident what this person had experienced in his life.
"Kakashi, you stay and take care of the corpse and bring it back to the village. These are the ninjas of the fog, keep the evidence! Tsunade and I went first. ”
Uchiha Yong saw the two of them arrive and ordered, just now he was struggling with how to deal with the corpses, and these corpses must be used as evidence for future negotiations with Kirikuin.
Even if you want to go to war, you need to be famous, otherwise it will give other ninja villages a chance to intervene, although the poor pants of the fog hidden village are cleaner than the face, but as a maritime trade center, the geographical location is still a little valuable.
"Yes, sir!"
At nightfall, Uchiha Isamu and Tsunade, who were hurrying back to the village, had just entered the Hokage's office, and before they could sit down, the Shadow Ninja walked in.
"Report Hokage-sama, Higaku-sama and Shikaku-sama, as well as the Fugaku patriarch, have been waiting in the lounge, do you want to notify them to come over now?"
Tsunade was stunned for a moment when he heard this, it had been a day and a night since the teacher's incident, but he didn't expect these people to wait here for them to come back, and they didn't go back to rest.
The mind that was originally going to be held accountable suddenly faded a little, and it stands to reason that the two who went out as the Hokage and were temporarily in charge of the affairs of the village were responsible for the death of the teacher.
After all, it was an accident that happened right under your nose, and it would be a small deal to investigate a poor supervision. She glanced at the sky outside the window and immediately commanded the Shadow Ninja.
"Let's go and get some of the adults here."
"Yes, Hokage-sama!"
A few minutes later, the three of Nara Shikaku, who were slightly tired, walked into the office, Tsunade looked at the faces of the three of them, and wanted to say a few heavy words, but he couldn't say it at this time, so he asked decisively.
"What the hell is going on! Why did the teacher die suddenly, tell me what happened! ”
The three of them looked at Tsunade's remaining anger, and they all sighed in their hearts, regardless of whether the murderer was Uchiha Itachi or not, this happened when they first became Hokage's assistant to oversee the village.
Hinata Hinata and Nara Shikaku's old faces are also a little unbearable, and Uchiha Fugaku is extremely self-blaming, once the identity of the murderer is exposed, it will be no less than another heavy blow to the Uchiha family.
In the end, Nara Shikaku came out and reported the situation, including the time of death of the three Sarufei and Tuanzang, and the temporary handling methods, all of which were reported in detail.
After listening to Tsunade, he also had to admire Nara Shikahisa's decisiveness, even if he asked himself in a moment of crisis, it was impossible to deal with it better than this Konoha thinker.
Although there is some resistance in my heart to throw all the responsibility on Orochimaru, there is no better choice at this time, after all, Orochimaru itself is now a traitor, and a series of evil deeds of human experiments have also been exposed in the village.
At this moment, Tsunade can faintly feel the feeling that as the Hokage, he has to do something against his will in order to maintain stability in the village.
But speaking of which, when he saw that Nara Shikahisa hadn't said anything about the real murderer, Tsunade frowned and said in a slightly reproachful tone.
"What about the murderer? Haven't found any clues to the killer yet? ”
Nara Shikaku hesitated for a moment, made eye contact with Hinata Hinata and Uchiha Fugaku for a second, and then looked at Uchiha Isamu who was standing aside without making a sound.
saw the appearance of the three of them who wanted to speak and stopped. The suspicion in Tsunade's heart was even heavier, and his gaze kept sweeping over their faces, just as he wanted to speak.
Uchiha Fugaku seemed to have made some difficult decision, took a step forward, and said in a hoarse voice. "Hokage-sama, murderer... The murderer is Uchiha Itachi! But all this has nothing to do with Yong, it is not good for me as the patriarch and father to discipline me, and I am willing to take any responsibility! ”
"What!"
Tsunade let out a startled snort, then stared at Uchiha Fugaku in disbelief, trying to confirm the truth of the sentence on his face.
She never thought that the murderer of Sarutobi-sensei and others would be Uchiha Isamu's own brother! Calm down a little and think about it, no matter how outrageous this information is, combined with Nara Lujiu's performance just now, it should be confirmed.
This can explain why the secret letter sent by Lu Jiu to him did not mention the matter of the murderer, including throwing the blame on Orochimaru in the first place in order to prevent causing panic.
All this is because of Isamu Uchiha! Thinking of this, Tsunade also lost his usual calmness, slowly turned his head, and looked at the man next to him with complicated eyes, and all kinds of emotions surged up for a while, and he didn't know how to speak.
