"Is this here? The address of the Arasaka family? It's so ordinary!" Izumi Uchiha looked at the featureless two-story house in front of him. If it weren't for the fact that the house number at the door clearly said 'Arasaka', he wouldn't be able to bear it. I couldn't help but wonder if I was going the wrong way.

"Haha! Then Quan, what kind of place do you think their family should live?"

Uchiha Torajiro asked with a smile.

"Hmm... Even if it's not as big as the patriarch's house, as the eagle dog of the special embassy, ​​you should save some money to buy a big house with a bamboo forest and a pond! This kind of... Isn’t it too young? If we call the younger brothers, we won’t have anywhere to stand, right?”

"We don't have that kind of person in our family."

The old man with gray hair and hale and hearty, standing at the door as tall and tall as a weathered pine tree, forced his way into the conversation with a loud voice, "Three people from the police department, I don't know what you are doing standing at the door of my house. ?”

"Arasaka Katsumasa?"

Uchiha Torajiro narrowed his eyes and looked at the old man.

"It's me, who knows?"

The old man admitted his identity simply and neatly.

"There is no need to know our names. We are here to investigate a case. Is Arasaka Rokuro your child?" Uchiha Torajiro refused to exchange names and just asked: "Where is Arasaka Rokuro now? I I need to find out some information from him.”

"······well!"

Arasaka Katsumasa and Uchiha Torajiro looked at each other for more than ten seconds before suddenly sighing, "I have six children, but two of the younger ones died of illness, and the two older ones became ninjas and died in the war. , and there was another boy who was lucky enough to come back from the battlefield alive, but he died that night six years ago while resisting the demon fox. Now I only have Rokuro as my son."

Izumi Uchiha's eyes widened, and when he looked at the old man who had let out a sigh of relief, his head lowered and his waist hunched over, he could not help but feel a bit of compassion.

"I'm here to ask where Arasaka Rokuro is. Old man, don't make trouble. How many families in Konoha have not shed blood for the village? Stop rambling on here and answer my questions honestly, otherwise... ····I don’t mind letting my men enter your home and search it forcefully.”

Uchiha Torajiro sneered.

He was not moved at all by Arasaka Katsumasa's misfortune.

He also struggled to crawl out from the blood sea of ​​corpses on the battlefield. He had already overcome the red and tragic scene that looked at the world. How could he not be able to help but shed tears just because of the old man's few words? The light glanced at the pharmacist Kabuto who was standing beside him calmly, and he secretly nodded with satisfaction.

In contrast,

Uchiha Izumi is still too young,

It needs a good polish!

"My lord, can you really not give Inuko a chance?" Arasaka Katsumasa begged.

"What you said is very interesting! I just said that I want to find out some information about your son. Why do you feel so sure that he will be finished once he is investigated?" Uchiha Torajiro stared at Arasaka Katsumasa, as if he smelled something. A hunting dog that smells like meat and bones.

"I don't know what that kid did, but he has been feeling absent-minded when he came home recently. I asked him if he had something on his mind... He refused to tell me, but it couldn't be a good thing no matter how he thought about it, alas. ! I shouldn’t have let him take over from me and continue working at the special embassy.”

Arasaka Katsu had a dull expression on his face, as if he had given up resistance, and said as if pouring beans out of a bamboo tube: "I really don't know where Mukuro is now. He doesn't go home until dinner every day. During the day, he stays there most of the time. The special embassy is working and waiting for the special envoy's orders... Alas! Why did the special envoy suddenly change?"

Originally, he asked his son to take over because he thought that he had already figured out the temperament of the special envoy. As long as he had his guidance, it would not be difficult for his younger son to prosper in the special embassy. However, the last one stayed in Konoha for almost 30 years. Years later, I thought I could last another 20 years.

As a result, in the blink of an eye, this year, just over a month later, the special envoy was transferred away.

It caught him off guard.

He had no idea what kind of temper the new envoy was, so he could only rely on Arasaka Rokuro to figure it out on his own. Then he seemed to have gotten into some big trouble that he couldn't escape from. Faced with the inquiry from the police department, he could only I can silently pray that my son can survive this storm.

"Kabuto, Izumi, you go in and take a look. Remember to be polite and send a signal if you find anyone. If you can't find anyone, come back. We will go to the special embassy to investigate." Uchiha Torajiro instructed.

Again,

He couldn't believe what the old man said.

In order to protect his son, it is not impossible to deliberately mislead them to go to the special embassy to search.

"Captain, don't worry, I will strictly follow the guidelines in the Police Department's Law Enforcement Conduct Guidelines Manual."

Yakushi Kabuto took out a pamphlet from his coat pocket.

This thing is to unify and standardize the law enforcement procedures of the police department and prevent the occurrence of problems such as violent law enforcement by individual tribesmen and law enforcement that does not follow procedures. At Sozuru's suggestion, Uchiha Shisui, the director of the Justice Department, personally came to preside over it. A large number of civilian personnel were mobilized in the police department, and after two all-nighters, they came up with such a guidebook.

Uchiha Izumi patted his pocket and took out a palm-sized manual.

The two of them flipped through the book on the spot and started a slow search according to the instructions in the manual... Uchiha Torajiro just wanted to yawn. This was too tedious. The house was so big and they searched it. Kabuto hasn't played in 5 minutes, but this is also a rare opportunity to exercise.

Uchiha Torajiro simply stood patiently at the door and waited.

When he does this,

It was difficult for Arasaka Katsumasa to leave, but the old man was very sad, but he was not at all panicked by the search. Instead, he chatted with Uchiha Torajiro and asked about the case in Uchiha Torajiro's hands. What's going on? Is it serious?

It's just that Uchiha Torajiro didn't miss a word.

He has been cut out. Arasaka Rokuro is probably not at home, otherwise the old man would not be so calm. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the old man has a strong psychological quality and can lie to others without blinking an eye. But if he is really that powerful, it doesn't matter if he is cheated. Very complaining.

"By the way, old man, you said before that your family has no younger brother? Are you fooling people?" Uchiha Torajiro suddenly asked.

"...We are not a gangster."

Arasaka Katsumasa sighed, "Perhaps in your opinion, those gangsters are the younger brothers of our family, but in fact they are all members of the special embassy. Our family is just entrusted to manage it. After all, the special envoy represents the daimyo, and Direct contact with those little gangsters is very embarrassing. Although our Arasaka family is not a celebrity, we are still well-established in Konoha. In addition, I was quite clever when I was young, so I was appreciated by the previous special envoy. , promoted me to the position of leader."

"That's right!"

Uchiha Torajiro agreed casually.

He doesn't really care about the truth.

It doesn't matter whether the Arasaka family is a gang of gangsters or not. What's important now is to investigate the missing persons case.

After spending a full 8 minutes, Kabuto Yakushi and Izumi Uchiha finally ended the search of the Arasaka house. Unsurprisingly, no one of Arasaka Rokuro was found. The target was not at home at the moment. If Arasaka Katsumasa did not lie, It should be at the special embassy.

Uchiha Torajiro rubbed his brows helplessly.

The reason why he didn't go to the special embassy to find someone first, but came to the Arasaka house to investigate first, was to avoid unnecessary conflicts with the special embassy. Unfortunately, things didn't work out as planned. Arasaka Rokuro didn't seem to understand what skipping work meant. Work very diligently.

I can only go to the embassy once!

I hope it ends peacefully!

Their team left the Arasaka family in the center of the village and headed quickly towards the embassy. Behind them, unnoticed by them, two young guys, Itachi Uchiha and Kimimaro Kaguya, were secretly following and protecting them.

······

The special embassy covers a large area. It is called a "pavilion", but it is actually a garden with ponds, islands, hills, streams, wooden bridges, pavilions, platforms, etc. The main pavilion of the special embassy is located in the pond. On the artificial island in the center, the first special envoy invited famous craftsmen and ninjas who were good at construction to build such a large garden.

The most interesting thing is that the first envoy built this garden at his own expense.

It didn’t cost Daming Mansion a penny.

However, this is not surprising. The third special envoy Heigong Noriyoshi is, without exception, all of them are famous nobles, and they are the kind who are trusted by famous famous people. They have never been short of money. They were worried about how to spend the money in their hands in the most efficient way. Spending some money to show their loyalty to the daimyo was the basic behavior of the nobles.

Arasaka Rokuro stood on the bamboo bridge across the stream, staring blankly at the clear stream gurgling below. In fact, his mind was no longer on the beautiful scenery. He was now struggling with what to do next.Ever since he received information that someone from the Police Department had visited the Wandering Girl's Pavilion, he was shocked and immediately gave up on the Wandering Girl's Pavilion and continued to collect 'goods' through other channels.

however,

He was very clear.

The exposure of Younu Pavilion meant that he was also exposed. After all, in order to create these channels for collecting goods, he had to come forward in person, otherwise it would not be so easy to convince those local snakes. But whether he was careless at the time or had no choice, he is now He is facing the possibility of being arrested by the police department at any time.

He doesn't know what to do next?

He voluntarily surrendered to the police department and confessed all the things he had committed... No, no, doing so would undoubtedly offend Mr. Heimiya, who is the special envoy, even if Mr. Henomiya would not do anything. A good ending, but with a behemoth like the Heimiya family still entrenched in the Daming Mansion, the Arasaka family cannot withstand the revenge of the Heimiya family.

Not surrendering,

Then he can only be stubborn to the end, and if he really can't deny it, he will take all the responsibilities on himself. In this way, although he has no future at all, at least his father, his nephew, and his My son and all his family have a chance to live on.

It’s just that... I’m not willing to give in!

No matter what, I won't be reconciled.

He doesn't want to die, he hasn't lived enough yet!

"Sir Rokuro."

The sudden call disturbed Arasaka Rokuro's thoughts. He looked back and saw one of the guards guarding the door running over and coming to him and said, "Sir Rokuro, there is a group of people from the police department outside the gate who say they have something to ask for." You, let me go there."

"Police department?"

Arasaka Rokuro's face turned blue.

Did you come to your door now?So fast! !

"It's the police department, yes. Their costumes are different from ordinary Konoha ninjas. There are shurikens and fire fans on the shoulders. I won't admit that I'm wrong..."

"Okay, I understand, you go back first, I'll be right over."

Arasaka Rokuro didn't have the patience to listen to this extravagant guard's nonsense and waved the person away. He stood on the bamboo bridge and twirled around like an ant on a hot pot. The police department had already come to the door, but the problem was that he still had I haven't thought about how to deal with the police department.

After thinking about it for a while,

He gritted his teeth and decided to meet the person first. Maybe for the sake of the special envoy, the village might not take serious action, and the people from the police department might not be here to cause trouble for him. Of course, If you really are looking for trouble, we'll tell you what to do when the time comes...

Arasaka Rokuro raised his feet that were as heavy as lead, as if he was a prisoner about to be sent to the execution ground, and slowly swayed towards the gate step by step. Just when the gate was in sight, he couldn't count the steps. A strange figure stood in front of him.

"Kazuma-sama?"

Arasaka Rokuro looked blankly at Kazuma who appeared in front of him with a cold expression on his face, wondering when he had offended Mr. Kazuma?But after thinking about it, there is still no answer.

"Arasaka Rokuro, listen carefully, if someone from the police department comes to ask you about human abduction, tell them everything you have done, and then tell those from the police department. People, if you want to kill with one blow, don’t rush to do it now, it’s better to catch it tomorrow, do you understand?”

Kazuma finished speaking word by word and stared at Arasaka Rokuro, waiting for his answer.

Arasaka Rokuro was completely confused now.

This, this is... Is he caught in the vortex of the fight between the special envoy and the deputy envoy?Is the deputy envoy planning to take this opportunity to defeat the special envoy?So what should I do at a time like this?He felt a little headache, the Deputy Envoy also got involved, and he was standing on the opposite side of the Special Envoy...

The situation is more complicated,

Where should I stand?

"I, I understand, Mr. Kazuma, I promise to do as you say."

Arasaka Rokuro looked at the kunai pressed against his chest and gave Kazuma a heartfelt answer.
