239. Troubled times

Tian Gan Sheng Tu
Naruto Building.
Jonin squad leader's office.
Nara Luming stood up suddenly, stared and asked: "What? There was a battle in the back mountain, and an Uchiha tribesman died?"
The ANBU team leader nodded: "Yes."
At the same time, he felt relieved in his heart. It was okay now. If the sky fell, a tall man would hold it up.
Nara Luming left his seat, walked to the ANBU team leader, and asked: "What's going on? Where is the murderer? Also, do you know who is dead?"
ANBU team leader: "I don't know. We didn't see the murderer when we arrived. In addition to a corpse, there was a pool of blood at the scene, but no people or corpses were seen. As for who died... If I didn't remember If I’m wrong, he seems to be called...Uchiha Sato."
The team leader recalled it and slowly said a name.
"Oh, by the way, his Sharingan was even dug out."
Nara Luming was suddenly shocked: "What? The Sharingan was taken away?"
Immediately afterwards, Nara Luming fell silent. Yes, everyone was killed, and it was normal to gouge out their eyes.
Although transplanting the Sharingan has huge side effects, no matter what, it is still the Sharingan that is famous in the ninja world.
Moreover, Uchiha Sato's words...it seems to be three magatama, right?
It has to be said that Nara Luming's memory is very good. The ANBU team leader only said one name, and information about Uchiha Sato immediately appeared in his mind.
As the leader of the Jonin class, it is normal for him to pay attention to the security department and the geniuses there, right?
Nara Luming paced back and forth in the office, "Have you got the scene under control? Has anyone else arrived besides you?"
Nara Luming felt a headache. It was already very sensitive when it came to Uchiha, but now that someone died, and he died in the back mountain, the issue became even more sensitive.
If they don't get it right, Uchiha may think that Konoha is going to take action against them.
Although anyone with a discerning eye knows it's impossible, you can't resist fools or people with ulterior motives.
In addition, who else in Konoha today can kill an Uchiha elite who has activated the three magatama in such a short period of time?
Unless there was more than one murderer, but if that was the case, how did they sneak into Konoha?When the Ninja World War broke out, Konoha kept the barrier open.
Could it be that he is from the village?
Headache!
Why have we encountered so many troubles recently? In the past, the third Hokage and two advisors died, and in the past, an Uchiha clan member was killed in the back mountain. It has been such a troubled year.
······
ANBU team leader: "No one else rushed to the scene before I left. In addition, I have already ordered the team members not to disturb the scene."
Nara Lu Ming gave a soft "hmm" and then said: "Take me to the scene to have a look. Also, call the intelligence department."
At this point, I can probably only search Uchiha Sato's memory, hoping that his brain has not been damaged.
Soon, a group of people arrived at the back mountain of Konoha and then arrived at the scene of the murder.
"Captain, squad leader Nara."
Seeing the arrival of several people, several ANBU members responsible for guarding the scene immediately gathered around.
Nara Luming ignored them, but looked around and then carefully observed the scene.
Several intelligence department personnel who followed were not idle and began to survey the scene.
Nara Luming observed around and found nothing valuable except for two pools of blood and a pile of slightly messy footprints.
After pondering for a moment, he turned to the ANBU team leader and said: "Go and notify Uchiha Beacon and ask him to come. Be careful not to let too many people know. Also, check why Uchiha Sato appeared in the back mountain. , what is he here to do?"
"Yes." The ANBU team leader accepted the order and resigned.
After a while, the ANBU team leader came back, and at the same time, there were two anxious figures behind him.
Before anyone arrived, there was a noise.
"Where is the man?"
"Damn it, who dares to kill our people? It's unforgivable!"
"What do you ANBU do for food? Why weren't you there when the battle happened?"
Uchiha Fenghuo and another Uchiha cursed loudly.
The ANBU team leader remained silent. He was very angry at the moment. If he spoke at this time, wouldn't he get more scoldings?
Just let him finish the scolding. When he finishes scolding him and feels that he is asking for trouble, they will stop scolding him.
When the two Uchiha Beacons saw Nara Luming, the ANBU team leader was instantly relieved.
"Nara Luming, what's going on? Who did it?"
Looking at Uchiha Sato lying in a pool of blood, Uchiha Fenghuo said angrily.
Then he saw Uchiha Sato's empty eyes again, and his anger became even more intense.
"Okay, you even dare to move our Sharingan, how brave you are!"
"Nara Luming, tell me who the murderer is. I, Uchiha, will fight him until death!"
Nara Luming shook his head and persuaded: "Uchiha Fenghuo, don't get excited yet. We don't know who the murderer is, and we are investigating. I'm calling you here now. I mainly want to ask about the situation and see if we can find other clues."
"Everyone is dead, why are you asking?" Another Uchiha was very angry and looked even more excited than Uchiha Fenghuo, "If you ANBU can't find anyone, then let our security department take over and we will investigate ourselves! "
"Yes, we should investigate ourselves. If some people are found... you choose to cover up..."
"That's enough, Setsuna, stop saying a few words!" Uchiha Fenghuo spoke in time to stop Uchiha Setsuna from talking.
After glaring at Uchiha Setsuna, Uchiha Fenghuo turned to Nara Luming and said: "Setsuna is right, this matter concerns us Uchiha, we should be allowed to take over."
Although the words were euphemistic, they all revealed a message, that is, distrust.
This kind of distrust was not formed in a day or two. Since the establishment of the village, Uchiha has not been trusted by Konoha's senior officials and has always been on guard against Uchiha.
Originally, Senju Hashirama, the first Hokage, treated everyone equally, but since he resigned and the second Hokage came to power, this distrust was directly put on the table. The second Hokage dismissed Uchiha directly from the security department. After that, except for the security department's affairs, Uchiha had no involvement at all, let alone the right to speak.
This situation reached its peak during the reign of the Third Hokage, and the main reason was because of Danzo, the old dog.
Now that Tsunade has come to power, the situation may have improved, but today is Tsunade's first day in office, and there is almost no room for improvement.
······
Closer to home.
After Uchiha Fenghuo finished speaking, Nara Luming rejected him without hesitation.
"No, since we were the first to discover this incident, and it happened in the village, and today is the day when the fourth generation just took over, if something like this suddenly happens, it is a provocation to Konoha, and we cannot deal with it under any circumstances. For you guys."
Nara Luming did not finish his words, but then changed the topic and said: "Of course, if you are willing, you can also participate. The ANBU and the Security Department will join forces to investigate together."
"Okay, let's not talk about this first. Let's talk about why Uchiha Sato came to the back mountain. Do you know the reason?"
"This..." Uchiha Fenghuo frowned. He really didn't know this. After all, he didn't pay special attention to it.
There are so many people in the Uchiha clan, how can he have time to pay attention to this or that? He might as well take the time to teach his grandson.
Uchiha Fenghuo looked aside and said, "Setsuna, you are on duty at the security department today, did you know?"
Uchiha pondered for a moment, and then said: "He seems to be looking for someone... Wait a moment, I will ask."
Just as he was talking, Uchiha suddenly used the psychic technique without any explanation and channeled a ninja cat out.
After some inquiries, it was finally confirmed that Uchiha Sato was indeed looking for someone in the back mountain.
Uchiha Fenghuo frowned: "Ye? I've heard of this girl. She seems to be Kaede's sister. After Kaede's death, Zuo Teng took care of Ye like a sister. Zuo Teng has a day off today. Most likely, he wants to see Look at the leaves, but..."
"Where is Ye? Where is she now? Could it be that... something happened too?"
Looking at another pool of blood on the ground, Uchiha Fenghuo fell into deep thought.
Whose blood could it be?Ye's?
But why, I can still understand why Zuo Teng took action, because it was justified for the Sharingan, but Ye was so young and I had never heard of her opening the Sharingan. Did the murderer also kill her?
Or maybe they just killed people and silenced them, but why did they have to take the "body" away? Is there any secret in Ye's body? Or maybe Ye was not dead but was kidnapped.
Thoughts were growing in Uchiha Fenghuo's mind, but he couldn't determine the answer.
Nara Luming also had the same guess as him, and Nara Luming might even have thought of more than Uchiha Fenghuo.
But again, it was impossible to determine the identity of the murderer just by guessing, so Nara Luming turned his attention to the personnel of the intelligence department and asked:
"How about, can we read the memories from his brain?"
An intelligence officer from the Yamanaka Clan replied: "Sir, it's not possible. His brain tissue has been destroyed and nothing can be read."
Nara Luming's heart sank. Sure enough, the murderer was very cautious. The other party not only dug out the Sharingan, but also destroyed the brain.
Rubbing his head, Nara Luming looked at Uchiha Fenghuo and said: "Since nothing can be found from the corpse, then you can handle the corpse."
Hearing that someone was reading Uchiha Sato's memory, both Uchiha Fenghuo and Uchiha Setsuna looked a little ugly.
When they heard what was being read, their faces relaxed. Then they heard Nara Luming was about to return the body to them. Their expressions returned to normal. They nodded to Nara Luming and said, "Thank you!"
"You're welcome," Nara Luming shook his head, and then said: "I hope you two will not make this matter public for the time being when you go back. Also, please confirm the traces of Uchiha Ye. If you find anything, please inform us immediately. Similarly, if we If we find anything, we will notify you immediately.”
"Ok, no problem."
Both parties reached an agreement on the spot.
······
Back in the office, Nara Luming asked people to record the incident and the situation they investigated, and then sent it to Tsunade as quickly as possible, asking Tsunade how she planned to handle the matter and so on.
Similarly, Uchiha Fenghuo and Uchiha Setsuna returned to the clan and immediately launched an investigation, eventually confirming that Uchiha Ye was missing.
"Damn!"
In the room, Uchiha Fenghuo punched the table with an angry look on his face.
In one day, they lost two clan members, one of whom was a genius who had unlocked the Three Magatama at a young age!
What’s even more annoying is that this is still in the village!
Who is so heartbroken?
Next to him, Uchiha Setsuna said with a gloomy face: "Elder, we must find out about this matter. No matter who it is, he must pay the price!"
"That's right!" Uchiha Fenghuo said angrily.
Those who dare to touch Uchiha are not making trouble against Tai Sui?If he doesn't make the other party pay the price, how can Uchiha survive in the future?
Then Uchiha Fenghuo said with a faint look: "Then let's investigate carefully. Not only those outside the village, but also those in the village...can't let go."
Uchiha Fenghuo felt that it was most likely an acquaintance, otherwise with Uchiha Sato's strength, who could kill him in such a short period of time?
Anyway, if it were Uchiha Fenghuo himself, he didn't think he could do it, unless it was a sneak attack.
Uchiha nodded instantly, with a solemn expression on his face, and said solemnly: "I understand, elder."
······
On the other side, Tsunade didn't know that her back foot had been killed just as her front foot left Konoha, and she was now rushing to the battlefield with dozens of elites.
Suddenly, a messenger eagle flew over and landed on one of the ninjas. The ninja took the information from the hawk's feet, opened it, and his expression suddenly changed.
Tsunade frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Master Yondaime, look, something happened in the village."
Tsunade took the information and glanced at it, her face instantly darkened. She never expected that this would happen less than a few hours after she left Konoha. It was a slap in her face.
"Hokage-sama, what should we do now?"
"Yes, yes."
The rest of the people gathered around and asked.
At this time, they had learned the information from another person, and they were as angry as Tsunade.
They may not be angry about Uchiha, but more like they are angry because of the insecurity in the village. After all, their relatives and friends are all in the village. If the village is not safe, then...
Tsunade put away the information, looked around, pursed her lips, and then said: "Let Lu Ming handle this matter for now. Our current task is to defeat Iwagakure!"
Tsunade finally chose not to go back. After all, the frontline battlefield was already in front of her. Going back at this time was a waste of time.
And even if she goes back, will she be able to find the murderer?Not necessarily.
If even Nara Luming couldn't find the murderer, then it would be useless for her to go back.
In this case, of course the priority is to deal with Iwagakure.
After all, every day the war lasts, far more people die than the two Uchiha people. Tsunade knows clearly which one is more serious, and there is nothing to hesitate about.
So she gave the order, and everyone quickened their pace again and ran towards the front line.
······
Jonin squad leader's office.
Nara Luming stood up suddenly, stared and asked: "What? There was a battle in the back mountain, and an Uchiha tribesman died?"
The ANBU team leader nodded: "Yes."
