"Jiraiya, you bastard, you can be late for the meeting time." At the gate of Konoha, the blond Tsunade-hime folded her arms and complained loudly about her former teammate.Orochimaru stood quietly aside, listening to what Hatake Sakumo said next to him, nodding in response from time to time.His expression looked indifferent, but his mood was quite pleasant.

"...Here you go, that white-haired idiot." As soon as the boy's hoarse voice fell, Kiraiya's enthusiastic greeting came from not far away: "Tsuna~Orochimaru~I'm here~"

"Who allowed you to call me Tsuna, you idiot?" Tsunade punched the white-haired boy on the head mercilessly, successfully knocking stars out of his eyes.

As soon as Jiraiya came over, he received a fatal blow from his sweetheart. He held his head and screamed: "We haven't seen each other for so long. What's wrong with calling me Tsuna? Besides, I still don't know who is the last one." "

He thought he glanced at Orochimaru without any trace, and his tone was proud.Ever since he mistakenly entered the Miaomu Mountain of the Japanese clan, apart from taking on missions, Jiraiya spent all his time there.He is no longer the little boy who secretly envies and envies his teammates (especially Orochimaru), as he realizes that he is successful in practicing magic.

Orochimaru looked at him with a half-smile, "Oh~ You are very confident, Jiraiya?"

"Of course, sir..."

"Well, since everyone is here, let me say a few words." Nara Shikasuke interrupted Jiraiya's boast, and the people standing nearby gathered around him in twos and threes to listen to the captain's instructions.

"Everyone knows the specific mission, so I won't go into details. This mission seems to have no enemies, but in fact, you need to be careful everywhere. The relationship between ninjas and daimyo has always been sensitive and delicate. I have only one request for you." He looked around and continued. , "You must think twice before you speak or do anything. No matter what you find, don't act impulsively. Do you understand?"

"Yes."

"Okay, let's go." As they spoke, the seven people quickly left.

Suzaku Castle is located in the heart of the Land of Fire, not far or near from Konoha. At the pace of a ninja, it only takes one day to move forward at full speed.They set out that evening and arrived at their destination early the next morning before the sun came up.

"Rest where you are for an hour before entering the city."

"Yes."*6

The four teenagers and three adults naturally divided into two groups, laughing and joking in a relaxed atmosphere while silently taking Bing Liang Pills to regain their strength.Nara Shikasuke closed his eyes and rested, silently thinking about possible problems and solutions.

Takeda Takuma's death has nothing to do with Konoha, but he is directly related to the ownership of the daimyo position.It would be fine if it has nothing to do with the eldest young master, but if it does, the remaining young masters still don't know what the outcome will be.

If you accidentally get involved...

Gee, why send him to deal with such a troublesome matter?How nice it would be to play chess in Konoha, sleep, entertain my son, and occasionally go on missions.After sighing countless times in his heart, the extremely smart Nara clan leader stood up and called his subordinates to set off, "Enter the city!"

-------------------------------------

"Madam, the ninjas of Konoha have arrived."

"Invite them to come in and offer incense to Lord Takuma."

"Yes."

Entering the majestic mourning hall, Lu Jie and others straightened their backs and became more energetic.Even Jiraiya, who was used to being free and undisciplined, became a bit more disciplined.After offering incense to Takeda Takuma, the seven of them followed Schina to the side hall and sat down.

Tsunade looked at the slender figure with silver frost in front of her and frowned unconsciously.Has she seen this person somewhere?Orochimaru, who was walking beside her, cast a concerned look, and Tsunade shook her head, putting aside this inexplicable feeling.

"...At Tatsuki, the officials and nobles will come to mourn Takuma-sama. I will trouble you all at that time. I wonder who is responsible for...?"

Nara Shikasuke and Tsunade stood up at the same time: "This is Tsunade Hime, the granddaughter of the First Hokage. She is quite knowledgeable in medical ninjutsu."

Xue Nai looked at the only woman among the seven. The blond girl was so beautiful that she was no longer the childish person she was 12 years ago.It's just that this hair color... doesn't look like Senju or Uzumaki, so I don't know how much ability he has inherited.

"Tsunade Senju has met Madam."

"You're welcome, sit down."

Xuena didn't do anything extra, and returned to the mourning hall after a few simple greetings, which made Shikasuke sigh in relief.It’s great that no one dictates what the outcome must be.

As for Xuena, after leaving the side hall, she did not go directly back to the mourning hall, but left the maid and walked alone.The old friend was an unknown person across from her, which made her sigh and feel like she was dancing on the tip of a knife.

Look, Hashirama, Tobirama, even if I stand in front of your descendants, they know nothing and can't do anything.I can only watch, watching Konoha and the ninjas heading towards the end.

No one can stop me, haha, hahaha~

…………

Tatsuki arrived soon. This was the fourth day after Takeda Takuma's death. Under the watchful eyes of the noble officials and several sons of the Fire Country, the coffin was publicly opened for autopsy by the ninjas they had always looked down upon.This was the request of several concubines. In their words, they were worried that what they would learn from the secret autopsy would not be first-hand information.

Even Xue Nai was particularly surprised that he didn't care about his late father's dignity.If it hadn't been for the colder weather since autumn, I'm afraid the corpse would be smelly now.At this moment, Yukina was extremely looking forward to the existence of souls in the world. Takeda Takuma who saw this scene would definitely be furious.

She turned sideways and raised her sleeves to cover her face, her shoulders hunched slightly as if she couldn't bear to look any further.Who would have thought that the face behind the sleeves was smiling brightly.

In the center of the hall, Tsunade wore gloves and calmly examined the body.The Hyuga family ninjas were assisting her with their Byakugan eyes open. Occasionally they would exchange glances, and you could see the solemnity and surprise in each other's eyes.

"How's it going?" When the two men put down their tools and came over, the second young master, who was about to fall asleep, asked immediately.

"The Daimyo-sama did die of heart failure," Tsunade continued, pretending not to see the disappointed looks in the eyes of the young masters. "In addition to the violent ups and downs of emotions, there were also certain drug reasons."

Takeda Rin took two steps forward and clenched his hands under his sleeves instantly: "Medicine? What kind of medicine?"

"It's a medicinal material called Kunai. Kunai itself contains highly toxic substances. If the dose is appropriate, it can be used to treat heart failure. However, if it is overdosed...even a small dose can be fatal."

After hearing what Tsunade said, Takeda Rin breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she was not involved.He immediately turned around and kicked the medical officer to the ground: "Quack doctor! It turns out you were the one who harmed my father. I'm going to kill you."

A medical officer turned to other young masters to identify him and Xuena, and no one would suspect that this matter was related to him.You can sit on the position of daimyo safely, who wants to cause trouble for nothing?

"Your Highness, Your Highness, this is none of your business! Your Majesty has no intention of harming your name~"

"Even if it's unintentional, it's just poor medical skills."

"That's right. Before the daimyo died of illness, he just called in a medical officer for consultation, but nothing was diagnosed. It's really useless."

"Not only that, but he also has evil intentions, otherwise how would he be today?"

That's right, the whole series of events that followed all started because of the medical officer.If he hadn't been so eloquent and said that Mr. Rin and Mrs. Schina had teamed up to harm the Daimyo, there would have been no such thing as asking a Senju Ninja to conduct an autopsy.Really, embarrassing them in front of ninjas would be a crime worthy of death.

The medical officer was quickly dragged down to punish him. The previously aggressive young men were like cocks that had been defeated in a fight, withering away and losing their energy.Takeda Rin gave them a cold look and refused to investigate for the time being.

Originally, the matter should have ended here. Nara Shikasuke and his team had successfully completed their mission and should return to Konoha as soon as possible.However, they were left behind by Takeda Rin, euphemistically saying that it was the responsibility of Konoha ninjas to protect the smooth handover of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

For this reason, he also specially issued a new mission letter to Konoha and gave him a generous reward.Shikasuke and others had to stay until Takeda Takuma was buried and Takeda Rin successfully took over the position of daimyo before they could return.

After night falls, people in Daming Mansion gradually fall asleep.Lusuke and others who stayed overnight sat together and said something solemnly.

"...It's the traces left by chakra. I'm sure I saw it right."

After Tsunade finished speaking, the younger brother of the Hyuga family also spoke, "I looked at it with my Byakugan, and all the traces are concentrated in the brain. It's a genjutsu."

"Do you still remember the medical officer's initial diagnosis?" Orochimaru said to attract everyone's attention. "The daimyo was plagued by nightmares during the period before his death. This was the reason for his rapid physical weakness and the main reason for his sudden death. Have you ever thought about it? But, is all this man-made? There is one person who laid the groundwork for more than half a month just to make the daimyo 'die' of illness as a matter of course."

"One more thing, I heard that before the daimyo passed away, he proposed to select ninjas to form a private, independent and directly affiliated force. Is it possible that because of this, that person accelerated his pace? Because if it were later, there would be no chance."

Due to various reasons, there are no ninja guards in the famous mansions of various countries, which undoubtedly gives opportunities for those who are interested.Just when the gap was about to be filled, the person who proposed filling it died.The inside story is horrifying to think about.

"Do you want to inform His Highness and Madam Rin of our discovery, Captain Nara?" Hatake Sakumo asked.

Orochimaru: "It involves ninjas, and Konoha will also be suspected."

"Even so, we can't hide it," Nara Shikasuke scratched his head helplessly. "Whether the cause is personal grudges or major power conspiracy, His Highness and we must be prepared. Konoha and the Country of Fire will help each other if war breaks out again. There are signs, we must seize the opportunity."

"I will report this matter to His Highness tomorrow. You all should be more alert. It would be great if you can find something."

Jiraiya muttered: "It's been four days, I guess they've already disappeared."

Yes, you knew the Konoha ninjas were coming, why didn't you run and wait to be caught?

"Shut up, you idiot." Tsunade punched her again, "Just listen to Captain Nara and do what you say."

"...Hi, Xiaozang."
