Chapter 122 Tsunade: Suspecting Uchiha when something goes wrong? What a bad habit!

“Parker, can you trace Asuma’s scent?

We need to get him back.”

Parker, who was good at tracking, complained a few words but still helped obediently.

After sniffing around the room, Parker walked around the room a few times, raised his head and said to Kakashi:

"Kakashi, I have some bad news for you."

bad news?

Don't tell me Asuma had an accident.

"There is a stranger's scent in the room, though it is very faint, and Asuma's scent is confined to this room."

"You mean to say that someone strange entered Asuma's room, and Asuma never left?"

Things seem to be getting a bit serious.

"Correct."

Parker nodded, continued to sniff a few more times, shook his head and said:

"I can't pinpoint the source of the smell. It seems to have appeared out of nowhere. I think Asuma must have been attacked by an enemy who may even be able to use space ninjutsu."

After confirming it again and again, Kakashi's expression became serious.

Asuma was attacked by the enemy, who suddenly appeared in the room, which meant that the opponent might have space-type ninjutsu.

This is really bad news.

Ruffling his white hair, Kakashi immediately went to find Shisui.

Shisui, who had just gotten off work and was about to take a break, frowned and asked:

"You mean Asuma might be attacked, and the enemy knows space ninjutsu?"

"According to our investigation, this is most likely the case. I need to return to Konoha immediately and report this to the Hokage. Shisui, please take care of the palace after I leave."

"I will, just go ahead and don't worry."

Although it will be a bit hard, this matter must be reported.

The ninjas of Konoha were attacked by an unknown enemy in the Daimyo's mansion. The enemy also knew space-type ninjutsu, which was no small matter.

Not to mention that Asma's identity is sensitive.

The son of the Third Hokage.

With this identity in mind, the seriousness of the incident will undoubtedly rise several levels.

For example, Asuma's ninja level is a special jonin level, but the amount of his bounty exceeds that of an ordinary jonin. This is the advantage and disadvantage of his identity.

Asking Shisui to look after the palace, Kakashi immediately left the Daimyo's mansion and headed straight for Konoha.

On the other side, in the Shimura clan territory, someone has discovered that the clan leader is missing.

No one took it seriously at first, until the first elder and the second elder also disappeared, which immediately attracted the attention of the Shimura clan.

One of them was missing, probably just waking up early for training, or doing something else.

But all three are missing, there's definitely something wrong.

Unfortunately, neither their families nor the guards on night watch saw each other.

what does this mean?

problem occurs! ! !

Another painful day.

Tsunade was arrested before dawn and sat in the Hokage's office, feeling very depressed.

Unfortunately, the person who captured her was her teacher, the Third Hokage, and Tsunade was so angry that she couldn't even express it.

I could only hold my breath and continue to handle official business.

The Third Hokage gradually handed over what he had in his hands to Tsunade, assisting her and getting her back on the right track as soon as possible.

"Dong Dong Dong!!!"

There was a rapid knock on the door and Tsunade sat up straight, not wanting anyone to see how exhausted she looked.

Looking at Tsunade who became serious, the Third Hokage nodded slightly.

Although Tsunade has many small flaws, at least she won't let down when she's serious.

"Come in."

"Hokage-sama, something terrible has happened."

Just as he finished speaking, the door of the Hokage's office was pushed open and a stumbling figure ran in.

When the Third Hokage saw the person coming, he started to have a headache. It was so early in the morning and it wasn't even daybreak yet. Could I get some rest for a while?

You, the Shimura clan, have a lot of trouble.

The Shimura clan went to the Third Hokage several times just because they were in trouble with the Police Department.

But the Third Hokage didn't care much about such trivial matters. He simply gave Fugaku a beating and that was it.

As a result, after turning around, the Uchiha still kept staring at the Shimura clan.

Tsunade also knew about the conflict between the Shimura clan and the Uchiha clan. Seeing that the Third Hokage didn't say anything, she could only put down the documents in her hand, rubbed her aching temple, and asked:

"Which tribe member was captured today, and what excuse was used?"

"Hokage-sama, Tsunade-sama, is not an Uchiha."

The third elder of Shimura who came to the Hokage's office building for help said anxiously:

"In the morning, some tribesmen discovered that the tribe leader was missing. The tribe leader did not go home to rest last night, and we all didn't pay much attention to it. As a result, the first and second elders also disappeared. The tribesmen who were on night watch and their families also said that they had never seen them."

"What's the matter?"

Tsunade tilted her head, "Don't tell me they're missing."

Disappearing on your own family's territory, this is ridiculous.

Tsunade suspected that the Shimura clan was making fun of her so early in the morning.

"Yes........"

"........"

Really missing?

Tsunade and the Third Hokage looked at each other subconsciously.

The Third Hokage immediately summoned the ANBU ninjas and asked:

"Did you notice last night that the chief and elders of the Shimura clan left the family land?"

In recent days, the people in the Anbu have been very busy, keeping an eye on the village day and night, for fear that spies arranged by other villages would take the opportunity to cause trouble.

At night, surveillance will be more stringent.

"Hokage-sama, the Anbu did not notice any of the Shimura clan leaving the clan territory last night."

The squadron leader who was called over recalled it, shook his head, and answered affirmatively.

If you stay up late at night and wander around, no matter you are an outsider or a villager, you will be watched.

But the Anbu people did not notice that the Shimura clan members came out for a stroll.

It seems that this matter needs to be taken seriously.

The Third Hokage also realized the seriousness of the matter:

"Notify Jiraiya and Uchiha Fugaku and ask them to come see me. By the way, are there any Uchiha people out?"

Something happened to the Shimura clan, and the first suspect must be the Uchiha.

Even Yan!

Because Yan has been a little too active recently.

"Except for the night patrols, no Uchiha has ever left the clan territory."

The Anbu squadron leader still shook his head.

"Okay, it's okay, go down."

"Yes."

After the Anbu captain left, Tsunade said speechlessly:

"Old man, you are not doubting that the Uchiha are responsible for the disappearance of the Shimura clan leader and elders?"

He stared directly at Uchiha, and asked in a roundabout way whether Yan had ever left the clan territory.

Isn't this a clear suspicion?

Tsunade thought the Third Hokage was too sensitive and full of prejudice.

In her opinion, Uchiha would never do such a thing during this sensitive period of time.

Even if Yan wanted to take revenge, how could he take away the Shimura clan leader and the two elders without anyone noticing?

"Maybe I'm overthinking. It shouldn't be them."

After reluctantly defending himself, the Third Hokage began to comfort the Third Elder of Shimura and asked him to go back and wait for news.

Soon, Jiraiya, who was notified, opened the window yawning.
