Chapter 43: Uchiha Fugaku

Araki quietly looked at the Uchiha Fugaku in front of him, he didn't expect the latter to wait for him here, and through the latter's words, he could clearly feel that he had been targeted by him since he entered Konoha Village.

"Mr. Fugaku, is there anything wrong?"

Araki asked, he didn't have the slightest bit of a vigilant gesture because of Fugaku's greeting, and acted as if he had met an ordinary friend.

"The last time I went on a mission outside the village, I was out of the village for a long time, and I haven't been able to come back, and when I came back, you went on a mission again, and I haven't seen you for a long time and want to catch up with you."

A smile appeared on Uchiha Fugaku's face, if it weren't for the fact that the two of them knew the relationship between the two of them, if it was looked like by others, the two of them would definitely feel like they were good friends.

"Are we just catching up here?" Araki also had a smile on his face, not at all dissatisfied with Uchiha Fugaku's seemingly abrupt request, but still showed that natural posture, and then said, "It's better to change to another convenient place to talk." ”

"It would be nice if I could go somewhere else." Fugaku nodded, he was actually surprised in his heart, because Araki's reaction was too unexpected, these were things he didn't expect at all, originally he was still wondering, when he appeared, Araki would have some surprise in his heart, but now it seems that he has thought too much.

"You choose a place." Araki said vigorously.

"Come with me."

Uchiha Fugaku was obviously more satisfied with this result, and he took the lead and walked outside, not staying in the woods any longer, while Araki followed behind him, the two of them almost staggered by a body distance, looking together, but not exactly together.

The two of them remained silent until they reached a teahouse that was relatively close to the Uchiha clan's land.

"Do you usually drink tea?" Fugaku asked.

"I don't drink much." Araki shook his head.

"Is this okay?" Fugaku asked again.

"I listen to your arrangement, I can do it." Araki smiled and nodded, not showing any other unusual gestures because of this.

"Then we'll be here." Fu Yue immediately determined their location, and then walked directly to the front, it was obvious that this teahouse was a place she often came to, and she was very familiar with this place.

Araki didn't say anything more, and followed directly behind Fugaku without saying anything.

After the two of them entered the teahouse, Fu Yue smiled at the shopkeeper and ordered a pot of tea, then pointed to the location of the stairs and walked upstairs.

The owner of the teahouse nodded with a smile, and beckoned the service staff next to him, taking Fugaku and Araki up.

Araki could see from the chatting between Fugaku and the teahouse owner that his guess was correct, Fugaku often came here to drink tea, and the relationship between them was relatively familiar.

The staff at the teahouse ushered the two of them into a private room, which was relatively quiet, and no one could disturb them, and there was no need to worry about what they were saying would be heard.

After the two of them were seated, neither of them spoke, as if they had agreed in advance, and they both maintained a certain silence between them.

But under such silence, it didn't last long, and the service staff of the teahouse put Fu Yue over, and then left with interest, and helped them close the door when they left.

"The tea here is still very good, you can taste it."

Fugaku picked up the teapot and poured tea into the two teacups, his posture of pouring tea was still relatively standard, obviously he had some understanding of the tea ceremony, these things didn't seem special to Araki, because he didn't understand these at all, but for the nobles of the Uchiha clan, these seemed to be some relatively standard etiquette.

"Okay."

Araki replied softly, he reached out with his right hand and picked up the teacup, he didn't care about any etiquette, anyway, he didn't understand, if he didn't know how to pretend to understand what mistakes he made, he would also let Fugaku cancel it, it might as well be generous to taste it as he liked, this might be more special.

However, no matter what kind of tea these teas are, whether they are good tea or not makes no difference to Araki, before he crossed over, he didn't have any understanding of tea, and after coming here, he didn't put his energy into it, so no matter how good the tea leaves were, how exquisite the tea making method was, it tasted the same to him.

Araki took a sip gently, and as he thought, it still tasted like normal tea, but he still said "good tea".

Fu Yue took a sip of tea in a different posture and looked relatively gentlemanly.

The two of them seemed to have discussed it, but they still didn't say anything about what they wanted to talk about.

It was some time again.

Fugaku lowered his eyes from the teacup in his hand and stared at Araki fiercely, although he didn't speak, his momentum was already full.

Here it comes.

Araki's heart was suddenly certain.

He understood that Fu Yue was about to start telling the real purpose of inviting him here, and he also had a faint feeling in his heart, because there was only one thing that could involve Fu Yue recently, but he still pretended not to know anything.

"When I came back from my mission, I heard about going up the tree, and it was you who came to help clear Mai Trin's suspicion, and I thank you here for Mai Trin." Fu Yue said seriously, and the sincere tone seemed to be really thankful from the bottom of his heart.

"You said that......"

Araki pondered for a moment, as if he had found a memory that had been silent for a long time in his thoughts, waved his hand, and said with a casual look: "You don't need to do more thanks to Mikoto for this kind of thing, you already thanked me at the time, and if you don't mention it, I'll have forgotten about it." ”

"Mai Trin should thank you, and I should thank you for Mai Trin, these are all essential, if it weren't for you, Mai Trin might have been wronged." Fugaku said vigorously, and there was already a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone, because he felt that what Araki had just said was very impolite.

"Actually, this matter is not a big deal, if it weren't for the above-mentioned death that made Lord Qixuanyu confused, then he could also find out the truth very easily, and he wouldn't have wronged Mikoto, I just did a bystander's thing, insignificant, there is no need for this."

Araki is now almost certain that Fugaku came to find him, because of the events of the time, and the question mark that arose at that time resurfaced on him.

In fact, during this time, Araki was about to forget about that incident, because it was not something special to him, and it was not that important.

Frankly speaking, if it weren't for Kushina's very desperate desire to be able to get rid of this eucalyptus, then he might have chosen to sit idly by at that time, because according to the historical situation that has been obtained, nothing will happen to Mai Trin, even if there is a small episode in between, it will be resolved quickly.

Araki never worried about Mikoto all along, and the biggest question mark in his head was who killed Kamiki, but such a question mark was not enough to hold up, and his real curiosity had no desire to investigate at all, and he didn't want to investigate.

Araki knew that the more he knew, the more dangerous it became.

This is a wise saying from ancient times to the present, the less you know, the safer it is, countless precedents have proved that these curiosities can kill cats, he does not have a strong desire to explore such things now, and these things themselves have nothing to do with him, he does not want to interfere too much here.

Araki knew exactly what he wanted.

He has the Wood Escape Blood Inheritance Limit on his body, and he needs a very strong chakra to support him to use such a heaven-defying ninjutsu, so he must put in more effort to train his body and strive to have more chakra.

Under such a premise, nothing is more important than cultivation, so all the stumbling blocks on the path of cultivation, if he can get around, he will try to bypass them as much as possible, and if he can't get around, then he will choose to get rid of them, in short, he will not add any trouble to himself.

For Araki, it's too late to even dodge troublesome things, and it's impossible to get yourself into trouble.

So......

The death of the Uchiha Kamiki had nothing to do with him, he didn't bother to care about this kind of thing at all, it didn't matter who killed him.

The truth didn't matter that much to him.

He's not a person who restores the truth to the entire ninja world.

And he doesn't have the so-called inner belief and insistence on this kind of thing.

After all, in the ninja world, pain happens almost every day, and it is full of intrigues and tricks, there are constantly calculations, and people are constantly dying, if you want to restore all the truth, it is simply impossible.

It can't be said that everyone has secrets, but there are many people who have their own secrets, and Araki doesn't want to explore those secrets, because some secrets can be fatal if they are known.

"Since I returned to Konoha Village, this eucalyptus has been handed over to my hands to investigate, because during the period I was too deeply involved with adults in this matter, I have indeed lost my own judgment, but I still don't have any clue in my investigation, you were a person who had contact with the corpse at that time, and made a clear judgment, I want to hear your opinion on this matter." Fugaku said the truest purpose of his coming here, his eyes staring at Araki's eyes with burning eyes, this kind of glittering Dao essence.

"I'm sorry." Without hesitation, Araki spread his hand and shook his head, then said, "I don't remember what happened at that time. ”

"Don't you remember the bloody scenes?" Fugaku was obviously not very satisfied with this answer.

"Yes, the more cruel and bloody the scene, the more our brains hope that we can forget him, and we don't deliberately deepen our own impression, so I really can't remember, but there are some things that are moldy, and I have forgotten everything about that eucalyptus." Araki said, adding here, "And I'm not the person in charge of the investigation, I'm not the person in charge of the garrison, so naturally there is no need to remember all this so clearly, isn't this asking for trouble for myself!" ”

"Araki, I'm asking you seriously, I hope you can provide some help to this eucalyptus." Fu Yue directly straightened up and said with a straight face.

"There's really no way I can help you with this kind of thing." Araki shook his head, then looked at the tea in the cup, and said, "How can I, a little person, do something that even the garrison department can't do it." ”

"You really don't have any clues?" Fu Yue's brows furrowed tightly, and he seemed to be unwilling to say: "Lord Qi Xuanyu came to you that day, and he said that you gave him some information, but he was reluctant to mention it, and even if he said it, it may have to be considered for us in Chang'an, so I want to hear you say it yourself." ”

"I really can't remember this kind of thing."

Araki shook his head again without hesitation, for the questions raised by Fugaku, he regarded them all as a state of affairs, because in his heart, he had already regarded Fugaku as a suspect in this case, since he was a suspect, he was suspected of doing this eucalyptus, but he was not a particularly sure person, and Araki did not want to expose any hidden dangers that might pose a threat to the other party in front of such a person.

It's not that Araki was scared of Uchiha Fugaku, but he didn't want to cause himself any trouble in this kind of thing.

"That's right."

At this time, as if he had thought of something, Araki looked directly at Fugaku, and immediately mobilized the latter's attention completely.

"One thing came to mind."

"What's the matter?" Fugaku was nervous at the time.

"We encountered a little problem when we went out on a mission, it seems that someone sold the information of our mission to other villages, can the security department check this kind of thing?" Araki asked.

"What?" Fugaku was stunned for a moment, what he heard was obviously not the topic he wanted to hear, and then after a moment of confusion, he stared at Araki again and said, "How can you be sure that someone has revealed your whereabouts?" ”

"Actually, I'm not very sure, but I think it's such a possibility, so I didn't go directly to your security department, but now I see you, and I suddenly wonder if you can help me check." The corners of Araki's mouth curled slightly, he didn't want to dwell on the topic just now, because he had already understood the true purpose of Fugaku's coming here.

In fact.

Judging from the sentence just now.

Araki can be sure that there are only two possibilities for Tomiyaku.

The first is what Fuyue showed, so he was really serious and wanted to investigate the real murderer of his death in Kogamiki.

The second is that Fu Yue is the real murderer, and he wants to see if he has any suspicions about him?

Either way......

Araki didn't want to get involved in this matter.

The address was modified for various reasons
