Naruto sage comes to the world

Chapter 77 The Great Heron
The daimyo's official residence, in a quiet back garden.

Two heavily armed guards guarded a tunnel-like entrance, yawning and chatting.

The young guard asked curiously:

"Brother, do you think that is true? Master Da Lu really killed his own father?"

Another guard looked around cautiously, seeing no one passing by, and replied in a low voice: "It's true, I heard that Master Dalu was still holding a bloody dagger in his hand when he was arrested. Unexpectedly, Master Dalu looked Such a gentle and refined person would actually do such a rebellious thing."

The young guard wanted to continue the topic, but was stopped by another person.

"It's better not to talk about this kind of thing. If you hear it, you will lose your head. I heard that after the death of the previous daimyo, Mr. He's temper changed a lot. He beat and scolded his servants at every turn. For a trivial matter, a guard was killed on the spot by Mr. He."

In the woods not far away, a small bush suddenly moved, and then quickly calmed down.

Fortunately, the two guards didn't pay attention and continued to chat with each other.

Yao Yuan put his finger to his lips, and made a silent gesture to Guideng Shuiyue.

Guideng Shuiyue understood, nodded, and lowered his body to continue eavesdropping on the chat of the two guards.

After another half an hour, the two guards looked exhausted, they were not even interested in chatting, and they closed their eyes and dozed off.

A black figure suddenly sprang out of the forest, under the cover of the night, flew past a few meters in front of the guards, and fell into the bushes on the other side.

A few birds were startled, flapped their wings, and flew up from the forest in a panic.

"Who?"

Two guards hastily pulled out their long knives from their scabbards, rushed to the place where the shadow disappeared, and looked at the dark forest with the faint light.

A "meow" in the forest was a response to the two of them.

The two let out a sigh of relief.

"Damn wild cat, it scared me."

The two returned to the entrance of the tunnel cursing, and continued to doze off.

. . . . . . . . .

The narrow tunnel can only allow two people to walk side by side. It bends and extends like a snake, leading to the depths of the ground.

Going down the tunnel, the space gradually became wider, and water began to drip from the top of the head, and even the air became humid.

There is only a torch hundreds of meters away from the wall, and the faint light flickers in and out of the passageway, as if it might go out at any moment.

Yao Yuan walked forward carefully along the passage, trying not to make a sound.

The tunnel is very quiet, the quiet Yao Yuan can hear his own heartbeat.

Fortunately, the tunnel was not very deep, and after turning two more turns, a cave with a square of two or three meters appeared in front of Yao Yuan.

A narrow room was artificially excavated on the inner wall of the cave.

Inside the thumb-thick iron fence, a young man in white sat leaning against the wall on the muddy ground, buried his head deeply between his knees, and couldn't see clearly.

The white robe has turned into a mud-like color from the waist down, and there are still some dark brown bloodstains on the cuffs.

Seeing that there were no guards around, Yao Yuan heaved a sigh of relief and stepped harder on purpose.

The footsteps of "dongdong" caught the young man's attention, and the young man slowly raised his head.

The young man was gentle, with two tear stains still hanging on his delicate face, making him look very haggard.Only those eyes were still bright and clear.

With a friendly smile, Yao Yuan asked softly, "Is it Mr. Big Lu?"

The boy nodded, with doubts in his eyes.

Yao Yuan was overjoyed, and quickly said, "I am Konoha's ninja, Master Meng Zong entrusted me to meet you, and I want to know what happened."

Big Lu's eyes dimmed, "Everything is true, I killed Father."

"What? Why are you doing this?"

Yao Yuan turned pale with fright, things were completely beyond his expectation.

"I don't know why. I just went to visit my father who was seriously ill that day. After entering the room, I suddenly didn't know anything, as if the whole person didn't belong to me. When I woke up, I was holding a A dagger stained with blood, my father is dead."

Yao Yuan's eyebrows were frowned, and he asked suspiciously, "Aside from you and your daimyo, was there anyone else in the room at that time?"

Dalu shook his head, "No, it happened very suddenly, within a minute."

"After the incident, did your body feel abnormal?"

Dalu thought for a second or two, and said with certainty: "Yes. When I woke up, I was sweating profusely and felt a little tired, like a serious illness."

Yao Yuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately found the problem.

With Dailu's character, and being the eldest son, it was a matter of course to inherit the daimyo's position. There was no motive and no need to kill his old father who was sick in bed and was about to return to the west.

There is only one reason why such things are done.

That is the illusion.

Whether it was the sudden memory loss at the time of the incident, or the general fatigue after the incident, they were all symptoms of being controlled by illusion.

It's just that there is no ninja village in the country of birds, coupled with the remote geographical environment, there should be very few ninjas. How could a ninja who is proficient in illusion suddenly appear?
Yao Yuan's frowning eased a little: "Master Dalu, do you have any enemies, and what is your relationship with Master He?"

Dalu shook his head, "I seldom go out on weekdays, and most of them study in the mansion, why come to Qiu's house. As for my younger brother He..."

Big Heron's expression was a little uneasy, as if hesitant.

"What happened to Mr. Crane?"

"About half a month ago, Crane accidentally fell into the water when he went to play by the lake. After being rescued by the guards, it seemed like a different person. Many things were forgotten, and even his temper changed a lot."

Big Lu shook his head mockingly, "Maybe I'm overthinking it. I always feel that I don't feel as close as I used to when getting along with Crane recently."

Yao Yuan's heart is like a mirror, and he has a rough judgment on the whole incident.

After comforting Dalu a few words, Yao Yuan quickly walked back to the entrance along the passage.

The two guards were already snoring against the low wall, and their saliva was already dripping everywhere.

Yao Yuan was still a little worried at first, worried that he would disturb the two guards if he escaped with earth.

At this moment, he breathed a sigh of relief, as the civet cat passed by the guards silently, and threw himself into the forest like a bird returning to the forest.

Ghost Lantern Shuiyue had been waiting impatiently in the forest, seeing Yao Yuan coming out, she rushed to meet him.

The originally black sky has turned gray, the moon has poked its head out from behind the clouds, and the forest has become much brighter.

The two didn't dare to stay longer, and chose a secluded route to slip out of the daimyo's mansion.
