Saving Uchiha starts by flipping the table

"Parker, can you trace Asuma's scent?

We need to get him back.

Parker, who was good at tracking, complained a few times, but still obediently helped.

After sniffing the room, Parker walked around the room a few times, raised his head and said to Kakashi:

"Kakashi, I have some bad news for you."

bad news?

Don't tell me that Asuma had an accident.

"There is a stranger's scent in the room, although it's very light, and Asuma's scent is limited to this room."

"You mean that a stranger entered Asma's room, and Asma never left?"

Things seem to be getting a bit complicated.

"right."

Parker nodded, continued to sniff a few more times, shook his head and said:

"I couldn't pinpoint the source of the smell. It seemed to appear suddenly. I think Asuma was attacked by the enemy. The opponent even used space ninjutsu."

After confirming again, Kakashi's expression became serious.

Asuma was attacked by an enemy. The enemy suddenly appeared in the room, which meant that the opponent might have space-type ninjutsu.

This is really bad news.

After rubbing his white hair, Kakashi immediately approached Shisui.

Shisui, who had also just gotten off work and was about to take a rest, frowned and asked:

"You're saying that Asuma might be attacked and the enemy knows space ninjutsu?"

"According to the investigation, there is a high probability that this is the case. I need to return to Konoha immediately and report this matter to Lord Hokage. Shisui, after I leave, please take care of the palace."

"I will, just go ahead and go."

Although it will be a little harder, this matter must be reported.

The ninjas of Konoha were attacked by an unknown enemy in Daming Mansion. The opponent also knew space-type ninjutsu. This was no small matter.

Not to mention Asuma’s identity is very sensitive.

The son of the Third Hokage.

With this level of identity, the seriousness of the incident will undoubtedly increase by several levels.

For example, Asuma's ninja level is a special jounin level, but his reward amount is higher than that of an ordinary jounin. This is what status brings and its disadvantages.

Asking Shisui to take more care of the palace, Kakashi immediately left the Daming Mansion and headed straight for Konoha.

On the other side, within the Shimura Clan, someone has discovered that the clan leader is missing.

At first, no one paid much attention, until the first elder and the second elder also disappeared, which immediately attracted the attention of the Shimura clan.

One of them is missing, probably just getting up early to go to training or doing something else.

But all three are missing, which is definitely a problem.

Unfortunately, neither their family members nor the guards keeping watch saw each other.

what does that mean?

problem occurs! ! !

Another painful day.

Being arrested before dawn, Tsunade was in a very depressed mood as she sat in the Hokage's office.

It happened that the person who captured her was her teacher, the Third Hokage. Tsunade was so angry that she couldn't let it out.

I can only hold my breath and continue to deal with official business.

The Third Hokage gradually handed over the things in his hands to Tsunade to help Tsunade and get her on the right track as soon as possible.

“Dong dong dong!!!”

There was a rapid knock on the door, and Tsunade sat up straight, not wanting others to see her weakness.

Looking at Tsunade who became serious, the Third Hokage nodded slightly.

Although Tsunade has a lot of minor flaws, at least she doesn't lose her temper when she's serious.

"Come in."

"Hokage-sama, something serious has happened."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the Hokage's office was pushed open, and a stumbling figure ran in.

The Third Hokage started to have a headache when he saw the person coming. It's early in the morning and it's not yet dawn. Can you let me rest a little longer?

You Shimura clan have done a lot of trouble.

Just to get into trouble with the police department, the Shimura clan went to the Third Hokage several times.

However, the Third Hokage didn't pay much attention to such trivial matters, he just simply beat Fugaku and that was it.

As a result, turning his back, Uchiha still stared at the Shimura clan.

Tsunade also knew about the conflict between the Shimura clan and the Uchiha. When the Third Hokage didn't speak, she could only put down the document in her hand, rubbed her aching temples, and asked:

"Which clan member was captured today and what excuse was used?"

"Hokage-sama, Tsunade-sama, not Uchiha."

The third elder Shimura who came to the Hokage's office building for help said anxiously:

"In the morning, some clan members discovered that the clan leader was missing. Last night, the clan leader did not go home to rest. None of us paid attention. As a result, the first elder and the second elder were also missing. The clan members and their families who were keeping watch at night also said they had not seen him. Get past them.”

"What the hell?"

Tsunade tilted her head: "Don't tell me that they are missing."

It's not funny to disappear on one's own family's territory.

Tsunade suspected that the Shimura clan was treating her like a monkey so early in the morning.

"Yes........"

"..."

Really missing?

Tsunade and the Third Hokage glanced at each other subconsciously.

The Third Hokage immediately summoned the ANBU ninjas and asked:

"Last night, did you notice that the patriarch and elders of the Shimura clan had left the clan area?"

In the past few days, the ANBU people have been very busy. They are keeping tabs on the village whether it is day or night, for fear that spies arranged by other villages will take the opportunity to cause trouble.

At night, surveillance is even tighter.

"Hokage-sama, the ANBU did not notice that anyone from the Shimura clan left the clan last night."

The squadron leader who was summoned recalled it for a moment, shook his head, and answered in the affirmative.

Staying up late at night and wandering around, no matter you are an outsider or a member of the village, you will be stared at.

But the ANBU people didn't notice that the Shimura clan came out for a walk.

It seems this matter needs to be taken seriously.

The Third Hokage also realized the seriousness of the matter:

"Inform Jiraiya and Uchiha Fugaku and ask them to come see me. By the way, are any of the Uchiha people out?"

Something happened to the Shimura clan, and the first suspect must be Uchiha.

Even Yan!

Because Yan has been a bit too active recently.

"Except for the night patrol, no Uchiha has ever left the clan."

The ANBU squadron leader still shook his head.

"Okay, it's okay, let's go down."

"yes."

After the ANBU squadron leader left, Tsunade said speechlessly:

"Old man, are you suspicious that the disappearance of the Shimura clan leader and elders was caused by Uchiha?"

He stared directly at Uchiha, and asked in a roundabout way if Yan had ever left the clan.

Isn't this an obvious suspicion?

Tsunade believed that the Third Hokage was too sensitive and full of prejudice.

In her opinion, during this sensitive time period, Uchiha would never do such a thing.

Even if Yan wanted to take revenge, how could he get away the Shimura clan leader and the two elders without anyone noticing?

"Maybe I'm overthinking it, and it shouldn't be them."

After reluctantly defending himself, the Third Hokage began to comfort the third elder Shimura and asked him to go back and wait for the news.

Soon, Jiraiya was notified and opened the window with yawning.
