Chapter 70: Accountability from Hanzo
A few minutes later, the patrolling Rain Ninja found the one-eyed jonin lying in a pool of blood.
After confirming the identity of the one-eyed jonin, the patrolling Rain Ninja looked at each other, and while protecting the scene, they sent people back to the Hidden Rain Village to report the information to the top leaders.
Not long after, Hanzo, who got the news, appeared at the scene in the heavy rain.
With the arrival of Hanzo, the atmosphere at the scene became tense, and all the ninjas of the Hidden Rain Village became uneasy.
They were worried that Hanzo would lose control of his emotions and vent his anger after seeing the body of the one-eyed jonin.
To everyone's surprise, Hanzo was unusually calm. After listening to the reports of the witnesses and the on-site survey, he calmly said:
"The body will be handled by the medical team. I need a more accurate death report."
Facing Hanzo's wisdom and calmness, the Rain Ninjas present couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. He is worthy of being Hanzo. Even if his respected subordinates were killed, he can still think calmly.
…
After returning to the Hidden Rain Village, Hanzo locked himself in the office with a gloomy face.
He could not imagine, nor did he want to believe, that someone dared to attack the envoy he sent in the territory of the Rain Country, and it was a few kilometers away from the Hidden Rain Village.
For him, this was not just a matter of losing a jonin.
It was also a matter of ignoring his demigod majesty and ruthlessly trampling on his face.
If he knew who attacked his envoy, he would definitely make the other party pay a painful price, knowing that his title of demigod was not blown, but fought.
As if he wanted to vent his anger, Hanzo turned into a master of desktop cleaning and began to sweep.
Hearing the sound of smashing in the office, the Hidden Rain Village jonins gathered at the door looked at each other. They did not dare to open the door at this time. Not everyone could bear the anger of Hanzo.
A few minutes later, Hanzo's voice rang out from the office: "Don't stand outside, come in."
After hearing this, the Rain Village ninjas dared to enter the office. The ninja in charge of the autopsy said cautiously: "Master Hanzo, the autopsy report of the body is out."
Hanzo nodded and motioned the ninja to continue.
The ninja did not dare to delay and said quickly: "Based on the marks left on the body, we speculate that the murderer used a detonating talisman to blow up the messenger... But in the chakra marks left at the scene, we detected wind attributes."
"Detonating talismans and wind escape ninjutsu? Could it be done by Sand Village?"
After listening to the autopsy report, Hanzo placed his suspicion on Sand Village.
Detonating talismans and wind escape ninjutsu can be said to be the characteristics of Sand Village. He himself has had several experiences of fighting with Sand Village's Elder Chiyo. The two sides can be said to be old enemies.
But now Sand Village has just signed a peace agreement with Konoha and has been invaded by the Mist Village.
He has no ability to send ninjas to the Land of Rain, let alone kill the messenger under his nose.
Could it be ninjas from other ninja villages, Rock Ninjas or Grass Ninjas, or the ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village who have been ready to move?
These people have no interest in the Hidden Cloud Village.
After ruling out the possibility of foreign ninjas, Hanzo asked the Hidden Cloud Village ninja: "Is there anyone in the Land of Rain who is good at using explosive talismans?"
The Hidden Cloud Village ninja hesitated and looked at Hanzo carefully. His meaning was clear.
The strongest and most skilled ninja in the Land of Rain is Hanzo, who can even use explosive talismans.
Hmm? Hanzo's face changed slightly, and his eyes became increasingly dangerous.
The Rain Hidden Ninja swallowed his saliva and said quickly:
"Master Hanzo, besides you, the ninjas who are best at using detonating tags in the Rain Country should be Xiaonan and Baiye of the Akatsuki organization. They both mastered the secret technique of paper escape and have the ability to kill the jonin."
Before the jonin finished speaking, Hanzo of the Salamander turned ugly.
Yes, he has always ignored the Akatsuki organization.
This organization established under his nose is capable of killing and murdering jonin, but what he can't figure out is.
If this is really done by the Akatsuki organization.
Then why did the Akatsuki organization kill the messenger? His act of sending the messenger is to release goodwill, and the cooperation between the two sides is more beneficial than harmful.
In his opinion, the Akatsuki organization has no motive to kill the messenger at all.
But his subordinates, and the Akatsuki organization just happen to have this ability.
Did the Akatsuki organization deliberately kill the messenger to give him a warning? If so, he should consider the relationship between him and the Akatsuki organization.
Just as Hanzo of the Salamander was thinking about the identity of the murderer, the ninja of the intelligence department walked into the office.
Under the gaze of Hanzo, the ninja from the Intelligence Department did not waste words and directly took out the device for extracting the memory of the dead and played the last memory of the dead to Hanzo.
After watching the video, Hanzo fell into silence.
This secret technique of extracting the memory of the dead was the product of his cooperation with Danzo.
The man in the black auspicious cloud uniform in the messenger's memory was obviously a ninja of the Akatsuki organization, but uniforms can never explain the problem. The key point is the boy in the picture.
Although Hanzo has never seen Bai Ye, he feels that this person should be Bai Ye, a senior member of the Akatsuki organization.
And Bai Ye's ability is to use detonating tags.
After confirming Bai Ye's identity from his subordinates, Hanzo pondered for a few seconds.
Many evidences currently point to Bai Ye. The only doubt is that since Bai Ye killed the messenger, why didn't he destroy the body along the way.
For experienced ninjas, destroying or taking away the corpse is much more valuable than leaving the corpse behind. Byakuya should not have thought of this.
At this time, the Amegakure Murjonin seemed to have thought of it and added:
"Lord Hanzo, I heard that Byakuya is a hawk of the Akatsuki organization. He has always been at odds with other senior officials. Could it be that he acted without permission this time? Want to prevent the Akatsuki organization from cooperating with us?"
The reminder from the Jonin Amegakure became the last piece of the puzzle in Hanzo's reasoning.
If the Akatsuki organization had no idea of attacking the messenger, and the hawk Bai Ye had always made the decision, everything would make sense.
The cooperation between Yuyin Village and the Akatsuki organization touches on Bai Ye's interests, so Bai Ye is good at taking action.
Bai Ye, who was good at it, did not notify other high-level officials, nor did he get help from other high-level officials. That was why he was so panicked during the process of killing the messenger, and even forgot to destroy the body and eliminate traces.
After reviewing the attack with Bai Ye's mind, Hanzo's face became uncertain.
If Byakuya had made the decision to kill the messenger, then all they had to do was ask Yahiko and the others to hand over Byakuya, and the cooperation between the Akatsuki organization and Amegakure Village could continue.
However, those previous terms had to be slightly modified.
There is such a madman in the organization, and Yahiko and others must pay the due price.
As for whether the Akatsuki organization would refuse to hand over Byakuya, Sansho Hanzo had never considered it.
Compared with the Hidden Rain Village, the Akatsuki organization is as immature as children. In front of adults, disobedient children must either be obedient or have to be beaten.
The Akatsuki organization only has two options: hand over the murderer, or hand over the murderer after being beaten up.
