Naruto Six Paths Iruka

Chapter 311. 22. Get Together

"So, apart from this warehouse being partially burned, the other warehouses are fine?"

Iruka carefully observed the traces of the warehouse being burned and asked.

"Yes," the guard next to Yandan replied, "because we have received relevant training, we rushed to fight the fire as soon as we found a fire, so the loss is not great. Even the warehouse itself is also damaged. Only half burnt."

"Well, is that so?" Iruka continued to fill in the remaining half of the warehouse, "What did you use to give early warning?"

"We have high platforms everywhere in the granary, with alarm bells on them, and people are on duty throughout the day. According to the feedback from the person on duty that day, as soon as he saw the smoke, he started to ring the alarm bell, and the people around him passed by quickly. Put out the fire," said the guard.

Iruka: "So, did any people or animals run into this warehouse before the fire started?"

"Not at all." The guard replied, "Even, a few minutes before the fire broke out, we transported a cart of grain into the warehouse."

"Ah, that's fine, you go back first." Iruka dismissed the guards, leaving only Uncle Yile and Yandan.

Yan Dan said: "How is it? Based on your intuition, is my guard suspicious?"

"He won't be suspected." Iruka said, "There were people who went in a few minutes ago, and there were people on the high platform not far away. Who would set fire under the noses of these people? If there is an insider , unless the people in the entire granary are ghosts. If so, then what's the use of them burning half of the granary?"

Uncle Yile thought for a while and said, "You guys think, could it be white phosphorus cumin? White phosphorus is it"

"I know what white phosphorus is," Yan Dan said. "Impossible. When designing this kind of warehouse, the issue of ventilation and cooling has been considered. If the temperature of the grain is too high, it will germinate."

Iluka looked at the entire warehouse again, the wall that was burned the darkest: "Uncle Yile, come."

Uncle Yile walked over and looked up and down the wall: "What's wrong?"

"Look," Iruka drew a circle along the burning depression on the wall, "doesn't this look like a circle?"

"Yes, why?" Uncle Yile still didn't understand.

Iruka added a hint: "How about the fireball?"

"Hmm." Uncle Yile pondered for a few seconds, "Isn't it possible, who would use that thing except Kaguya Otsutsuki?"

Iruka: "Well, what if it's Kaguya Otsuki's apprentice?"

Uncle Yile: "Apprentice? But I remember that Chakra was taught by the Sage of the Six Paths to ordinary people. Is it possible in this era?"

"Let's do a deduction," Iruka said, "If the prisoner is someone who can use ninjutsu, what would he do?"

"It's simple, use the earth escape to get in, then use the fire escape to set a fire, and when the fire starts to burn, use the earth escape to escape." Uncle Yile said casually, "But, what's the point of this, just to set the fire ? If he has the ability, why doesn't he just assassinate Yan Dan?"

Yan Dan: "No, then what, what are you two talking about? Who wants to assassinate me?"

"It's not who wants to assassinate you. We are analyzing the criminal's motive." Iruka said, and then added, "Of course, you still have to be careful. To assassinate you."

Yan Dan: "Ah? Then what kind of person do you think the prisoner is? Do I have to be careful when I sleep?"

"Okay, don't scare him." Uncle Yile said, "Even if it is Otsutsuki Kaguya, it is not so easy to teach a few ordinary people to become ninjas. In three to five years, can you become a ninja?" It's hard to say. Don't forget, ninjas don't just use ninjutsu. You and I have a better understanding of this."

"Well, yes." Iruka said, "Then I think it's easier to deduce it from the samurai. Yandan, do you have any new disciples from the back door in your country?"

"Well, how many are there, why?" Yan Dan asked.

Iruka: "They all have eight points of armor?"

"I'm not very clear about this, do you want to ask?" Yan Dan asked.

"Yes," Iruka said, "but don't make it so obvious, just turn the corner and investigate."

"Okay, leave this matter to me, but it is impossible to give you the result immediately." Yan Dan said.

"No problem." Iruka nodded, "Although nothing major happened now, I still want to remind you. Finally, strengthen the guards around you, and don't relax from morning to night. If it is as I deduced , then this prisoner is just burning a granary, I am afraid it is more than the purpose."

"Strengthen the guard?" Yan Dan asked, "It's strong enough now, do you want someone to watch me when I sleep?"

Iruka: "You better do the same."

Yan Dan: "Then how can I sleep?"

"Your status is different now," Iruka patted Yan Dan, "You are a daimyo, the lord of a country. Although killing you can't replace you, it can give others a threat."

"Others?" Yan Dan's expression turned serious, "Tianzi?"

"That's right," Iruka said, "It's very difficult to kill the Son of Heaven. Although it's a secret, I'm afraid no one knows about it."

Yan Dan swallowed her saliva: "Okay, I understand."

"Of course," Iruka felt that the topic was too serious, so he quickly stopped, "This is just speculation. If there is nothing unusual on your side after a while, you should be fine."

Yan Dan: "So, who actually burned this warehouse?"

"I don't know." Iruka said, "If it's man-made, then it's either the 'ninja' we guessed, or a samurai who knows the eight-point armor. Of course, there are also Tianzi, me and Uncle Yile, but the three of us One would definitely not do such a thing. If it wasn’t man-made, then there would be too many explanations. You know, the mysteries of nature are endless, and our current understanding is still too shallow.”

Yan Dan nodded: "Okay, Iruka, how about this. The two of you should stay in the Land of Wind for a while, one in the capital and the other in the granary."

"This is no problem." Iruka said, "Anyway, Uncle Yile can open the space channel at any time and go to the emperor's side. If there is anything, we will not react so slowly."

It makes sense for him to say this. After all, in this era, if any organization can deliver orders within a day, it will instantly kill all competitors.

If it wasn't for Uncle Yile's laziness, the emperor could take advantage of him and go to each princely country once a day, and even let the princes come to the capital for meetings every day.Of course, the emperor also felt that this was too advanced, and there was no need to control the princes so hard, so he didn't make such a request.

"We just happened to catch up on the old days." Yan Dan recalled the time when he traveled around the world with the emperor, "Since the emperor became the lord of the ancestral country, we seldom get together."
