Chapter 239 Rumors Abound

Without Anbu blocking the way, the three of Qing Kong went all the way unimpeded, and soon arrived at the temporary command post, where they met Gu Jie directly.

Qing Kong instantly had a judgment in his mind. Although Gu Jie was the elder elected by the three generations, he was not from the Hokage family, at least he did not participate in the plot to frame him.

Aozora didn't wait for Kosuke to ask questions, and spoke directly the moment he saw Kosuke.

"Elder Gu Jie, why did you ask Anbu to order us not to keep any prisoners, but to directly attack and destroy the black market?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Jie didn't say anything about the throat problem, and asked in surprise, "When did I issue such an order?"

"You haven't posted?"

Qingkong showed surprise on his face, and then said to himself in confusion: "We also find it strange, we must know that the area our team is responsible for clearing is within the radiation range of the Daming Mansion, which can easily cause misunderstandings by the Daming."

Gu Jie frowned upon hearing this. Since Qingkong and the others knew the sensitivity of the area they were in charge of, why would they continue to clear the black market and kill civilians?

Qing Kong continued to ask: "Elder Gu Jie, have you sent other personnel to the area our team is in charge of?"

Gu Jie shook his head in astonishment.

Qing Kong wondered: "Then why did we receive Konoha's distress signal when we returned, but they cleared up the black market and destroyed the market?"

Aozora seemed to be asking, but in fact he gave a brief report on the status of his mission.

Compared with being interrogated by Gu Jie, Qingkong can dispel Gu Jie's doubts about his team to a greater extent by asking questions.

Sure enough, Gu Jie listened to Qing Kong's question and frowned in thought.

Just about to speak, Qing Kong asked again: "Elder Gu Jie, the three of us carried out the mission according to your instructions, why did Deputy Commander Yamato lead Anbu to attack us?"

"What? Yamato attacked you?" Kosuke's head was turned into a mess by Aozora's successive questions.

"Uchiha Aozora, you are talking nonsense!"

Yamato and the leaders arrived at the command post just at this time.

Qing Kong sneered, and asked back: "Did you do it first?"

Yamato was speechless, but Aozora said disdainfully: "Thanks to us trusting you so much, we never thought that the ninjas from the same village would attack our unsuspecting backs!"

When Gu Jie heard the words, a cold light flashed in his eyes, he looked at Yamato sternly, and said: "The mission I gave you is to recall Aozora and the others, please explain to me, why did you attack Aozora and their team?"

Yamato couldn't explain it, and he didn't know why Shan Mao's brain was broken.

After being speechless for a while, Yamato reluctantly said: "The three of Qing Kong did not cooperate with our work, but provoked us instead. Shanmao was so angry that he couldn't control himself for a while!"

Saying that, Yamato hurriedly accused Aozora: "Uchiha Aozora killed Bobcat, almost killed Bobcat!"

Gu Jie looked at Qingkong, Qingkong briefly described the scene at that time, and then said: "The situation was urgent at that time, and I didn't grasp the measure for a while.

What's more, I just used the Jutsu of Fireball. Anyone who is a little familiar with me knows that I was already proficient in the B-level ninjutsu of Jutsu of Fire Dragon when I became a ninjutsu!
If I really want to kill him, why don't I use my most powerful fire escape? "

Gu Jie nodded, but still warned: "Next time, remember not to hit your companions hard!"

Then Kosuke reprimanded Yamato and his party for their attitude in carrying out the task, and became a peacemaker.

After reprimanding Qing Kong and Yamato, Gu Jie said: "You spoke too hastily just now, now report to me the process of your task of clearing the black market!"

Qing Kong didn't say anything else, and directly described the process of their mission from an objective point of view without any concealment.

During the period, Kosuke interrupted from time to time, asking Kai and Junpei some details, and both of them answered truthfully.

The three of them didn't lie, so naturally they didn't have any flaws.

After listening to the report, Gu Jie fell into deep thought, and said after a long time: "It seems that there is a force that is framing you."

Because of the second generation, Kosuke has a dislike for Uchiha, but he has no dislike for Aozora, on the contrary he admires Aozora very much.

Because of the quick success and instant benefit that killed his companions when he was young, Kosuke has great kindness towards any Konoha ninja who protects his companions.

He believed that Aozora, who took the initiative to lure Orochimaru away in order to guard the camp, would never be a thug who killed civilians.

Yamato interjected, "This is just Aozora's one-sided opinion."

Qingkong glanced at him, and said with a sad face: "You are also a Konoha ninja, you actually choose to trust other people, and doubt us Jonin who have made great achievements, hey..."

Junpei's face was calm when he heard the words, but Kai felt the same way, and his face, which was originally full of vitality, also dimmed.

Gu Jie quickly comforted: "I will definitely find out the truth and pay you back..."

While they were talking, the three of them heard the chirping of an eagle, and then Anbu came in instantly and handed over the secret letter.

After reading the secret letter, Gu Jie frowned and said: "The daimyo has sent officials to the village, ordering to hand over the murderer who attacked Akihaji as soon as possible, otherwise the village's budget for this year will be cut in half! Hokage-sama asked me to escort you back to the village immediately."

Aozora looked at Junpei and Kai, and saw worry in their eyes.

Gu Jie obviously thought of this too, looked at the three of them seriously and said, "I trust you, let's go back to the village and explain clearly."

Qingkong knew that this was not easy to explain clearly, but he still nodded.

After saying this, Gu Jie sent orders to the other teams, and then took Qing Kong and the three of them back to the village.

When Aozora and the others returned to the village, rumors began to spread in Konoha's marketplace.

"Have you heard? I heard that there are ninjas in the village killing civilians during their missions!"

"No way, the ninjas in the village are very kind!"

"I can still lie to you. I heard that this incident has reached the ears of the daimyo. The daimyo was very angry and threatened to cut half of the budget for Konoha! The village will definitely increase taxes without daimyo's financial support!"

"What? Is this so possible?"

"Ninjas slaughter civilians, the impact is too great, the daimyo must teach the village ninjas a lesson!"

"By the way, you are so well informed, do you know who killed civilians?"

"I heard that they are Uchiha's ninjas. They are bloodthirsty. The original task was to deal with ninjas. They can afford to kill, and they even killed civilians!"

"Don't talk nonsense! Isn't Uchiha the ninja who founded our Konoha?"

"That doesn't change the fact that they are cold-blooded! In my opinion, this kind of person is not worthy of being Konoha's ninja, and should be executed directly to make amends to the daimyo!"

"If it was really Uchiha who did it, we should indeed be held accountable, but we have to find out first!"

"What are you looking for? The daimyo's guardian ninja saw it with his own eyes, so there is still a fake?"

"Don't get excited, keep your voice down, Uchiha is in charge of the police department, take you back carefully, you will suffer when the time comes."

"I'm not afraid!"

"..."

Having said that, the whispering civilians immediately shut up when they saw the police ninja patrolling the street walking by.

However, the ninja's five senses are beyond the imagination of ordinary people. The police ninja patrolling the street went straight to the villagers who just slandered Uchiha.

"Don't you have a long memory? Wanton slander Konoha's meritorious service, Jōnin, I now suspect that you are a spy sent by another village, come with us."

The man quickly argued: "Why did you arrest me? What's wrong with me saying a few words? I also heard what others said!"

The police officers ignored him, took out the rope, tied him up easily, and stuffed his mouth with a sackcloth.

After restraining the villager who was spreading rumors, the police officer warned another villager: "Don't spread rumors, don't believe rumors, trust the ninjas of the village."

After finishing speaking, the officers of the police department directly escorted the villager to the police department.

Watching the patrolman come back with a bunch of villagers, Jin Tai sighed softly.

The more villagers arrested, the more rumors spread.

If this continues, instead of suppressing public opinion, it will put Uchiha in an embarrassing situation.

After pondering for a long time, he finally gave an order: "For the villagers who spread rumors, the warning is the main thing, and we can't continue to arrest them!"
