Chapter 197
In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone on the earth, the Uzushio Village had already fallen into a state of anxiety.
“Ha… um.” Uchiha Nian pushed open the door, the golden morning light shone on his face, and he couldn’t help but yawning.
He frowned slightly, and soon attracted his attention to the noise outside.
At this moment, Shen Yu stretched his waist and walked behind Nian. Facing the commotion outside the hotel, he looked lazy and calm.
A trace of understanding flashed in Nian’s eyes. It was obvious that the unusual movement outside was related to his uncle.
“Let’s go and watch the excitement.”
Shen Yu smiled meaningfully, put on sunglasses on one hand, walked out of the hotel with Nian, and walked towards the direction of the Uzushio Village dungeon seemingly casually.
The streets were full of people, and the dense discussions were buzzing like mosquitoes. Shen Yu led Nian through the crowd, following a certain direction, and finally “ran into” Uzushio Kongming after turning the corner.
At this moment, Vortex Kongming stood in front of the dungeon door, giving instructions to his subordinates with a serious face. He looked a bit overwhelmed.
“Hey, brother Kongming.” Shenyu waved with a smile.
“Brother Yushen!”
Vortex Kongming’s eyes widened immediately, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
Yushen, this is a name made up by Shenyu.
With his sturdy body, Kongming squeezed through the crowd in three or two steps and came to Shenyu.
“Brother, how is the investigation of the prisoner’s identity going?” He grabbed Shenyu’s hands, his eyes showing anxiety.
Shen Yu didn’t keep anyone in suspense and nodded directly, “Well, it’s all done. According to the headquarters’ database and my guess, these guys are ninjas from Sand Village, Mist Village, and Rock Village.”
Uzumaki Soumei’s face turned pale and his expression became quite ugly. Even his hands trembled, as if he was struck by a bolt of lightning from the clear sky.
“What happened?” Shen Yu tilted his head in confusion, looking over the crowd and towards the dungeon, “Did something happen last night?”
Kong Ming sighed, his tone revealing solemnity and uneasiness, “To be honest, all the prisoners in the prison… died last night.”
“Ah!??”
Shen Yu opened his mouth wide, stunned, and turned into a “shocked party” with an unbelievable tone, “This happened! How did it happen!”
“The scene was very tragic, you’d better not go and see it, so as not to have nightmares at night.” Kong Ming said with lingering fear: “According to the analysis of the scene, they should have had an internal conflict, killing each other, and finally died together…”
“The village chief is very angry about this matter and ordered us to find out the truth…” Kong Ming was helpless. Nai said: “After questioning, the clan member who was in charge of guarding the prison door last night fell asleep, so he didn’t notice the changes inside…”
He scratched his head in distress, “In fact, the position of guarding the prison door is for sleeping, because the seal inside is quite strong and it is impossible for anyone to break through… The clan leader began to question whether there were any suspicious people who had contacted these guys in the past two days…”
“Wow, you don’t doubt us, buddy!” Uchiha Nian suddenly screamed strangely, looking at Kong Ming in astonishment, his voice trembling, his face flushed, “We contacted them at your invitation, and you were also there when we met them yesterday…”
He beat his chest and stamped his feet, showing Shen Yu the self-awareness that a real “shock party” should have.
“Yes, yes, I know…” Kong Ming was slightly startled, and obviously did not expect the reaction of these two people to be so intense.
He also knew very well that it could not be the hands of Shen Yu and Nian Dong, because the hotel’s spies could indeed prove that these two people not only did not leave the house last night, but slept soundly.
But as the head of the South District, the dungeon was under his jurisdiction. The reason why he was so anxious to confirm the identity of the prisoners was because he was ordered by his superiors.
But what he didn’t expect was that the identities were found out, but the prisoners all died strangely.
He must bear the main responsibility for this change.
Thinking of the key point, he immediately said to Shen Yu: “Brother, do I need your help?”
“What help?” Shen Yu asked.
“Come with me to see the village chief.”
Nian immediately said vigilantly: “Will you not involve us again?”
Kong Ming waved his hands repeatedly, “Don’t worry, it’s just to confirm the news. You will be fine. I, Uzumaki Kong Ming, can guarantee this with my personality!”
In this way, under Uzumaki Kong Ming’s almost begging request, Shen Yu had to “unwillingly” follow him to see the village chief of Uzushio Village.
Uzumaki Nagana, the grandson of Uzumaki Ashina, the founder of Uzushio Village, is also related to Uzumaki Mito who married into Konoha.As the leader of the Whirlpool Country, he is not only the village chief but also the patriarch of the Whirlpool Clan. He is serious and rigid, but very upright and can’t tolerate any sand in his eyes.
Along the way, after Kong Ming’s simple introduction, Shen Yu and Nian also got some knowledge of this village chief whom they had never met before.
In fact, there was no need for him to introduce it. The two could sense that the existence with the highest soul strength in the whole village was this Whirlpool chief.
Soon, several people stepped into the inner hall and met the village chief surrounded by several people in power.
This is a middle-aged man with a cold face. He sat upright in the center. As a person in power, his robes were not gorgeous, but they were clean and tidy. He was thin and tall, with long red hair like silk, hanging straight to the ground, and a neat and symmetrical mustache on his face.
Somehow, Shen Yu inexplicably thought of an old friend, and his heart was “puffed” with joy.
“Are you from the Iron Country Chamber of Commerce?” Uzumaki Nagana spoke slowly, his voice quite majestic.
“That’s right.” Shen Yu nodded.
Uzumaki Nagana frowned slightly, “Since the goods have been delivered, why don’t you leave?”
“Uh… I can explain this!”
Kong Ming hurried forward and quickly explained that he asked Shen Yu to help him check the identity of the prisoners yesterday. After that, he did not forget to prove for Shen Yu and Nian that everything that happened in the dungeon last night had nothing to do with the two of them, and comforted the clan leader not to wrongly accuse good people.
“Clan leader, Brother Yu Shen is fine!”
As he spoke, Uzumaki Nagami’s eyebrows relaxed slightly. He looked at Shen Yu, his eyes no longer sharp, “Are you sure that these people are from those three ninja villages?”
“Of course, our Chamber of Commerce has traveled all over the country over the years. We know everything, but we can still recognize the origins of a few people.”
Shen Yu pushed his sunglasses, “I can guarantee in the name of the Chamber of Commerce that what I said is true. If you don’t believe me, you can go back to the Iron Country with me to prove it!”
“Okay, okay, who wants to go to the Iron Country!” A burly man beside Nagami spoke impatiently. According to Kong Ming, this is the head of the West District, named Uzumaki Lie.
“Now that things have come to this, let’s discuss what to do!” He said in a muffled voice.
