Four years, whether it is long or not, is not short.

It is enough to make the vigorous five major countries drained of their national power by protracted wars and their people's livelihood withered.

It is enough to make the five major consortiums prosper and make money, and strangle the economic lifeline of the entire continent amid the retreat of the nobles.

It was enough for Fact Report's influence to reach new heights with the support of the Combined Army.

It's also enough to consume some people's patience a little bit.

——In the 69th year of Konoha, the flames of war have been burning continuously for five years.

It was afternoon when Masako came to Uchiha's main house.This mansion with a mistress has become more and more lively in the past five years. The potted artificial stones are arranged in a patchwork order, and the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers. The courtyard outside the window is perfect no matter from any angle. artwork.

Since the outbreak of the Fourth Ninja World War, the Uchiha brothers have spent most of their time on the battlefield, but Xi is taking care of the main house at the back.In just a few years, this elegant woman has expanded her network to all Konoha, worthy of the title of No. 1 magazine organization.

Like Gui Ye's Princess Mansion, Xi's Uchiha Mansion is also a place where you can speak with confidence.Masako stepped into the room and saluted respectfully: "My lord, Mr. Sugiba."

Xi pointed at the tatami, let Masako sit down, and then suddenly asked: "Masako, how is Sato's house recently?"

"Thanks to your lord's protection, everything is safe." Masako replied with his head bowed.

"So now, Sato's opportunity has come."

A word that is neither salty nor weak makes Zhensha's heart beat faster instantly.After the Uchiha genocide incident, the entire Sato family was severely suppressed. Even though they joined Xi's banner to save their vitality, they were far from the original glory.For the Satos who are always dreaming of revival, this sentence, they have been waiting for a long time.

Zhensha straightened her upper body, five years of experience allowed her to suppress her voice: "Please order, my lord."

Seeing this performance, Xi and Yulai exchanged a satisfied look.Xi continued: "The news came this morning that Uzumaki Naruto has completely mastered the power of Kyuubi. It is expected that the stalemate on the battlefield will be broken soon, and the war will soon be decided. Therefore, the Sakura Consortium should also help You paid the price for your actions."

Masako immediately heard Xi's implication: she chose the Sato family to come forward to expose the collaboration of the Sakura Consortium!Thinking of the huge benefits this move would bring, Masako felt that his breathing seemed to be unsteady.

"In addition, if the public opinion is not hot enough, we need one more thing to completely irritate the public," Xi continued, taking a panoramic view of the expressions of his subordinates, "for example, the misfortune that happened to some famous ninjas." Deciding whether to take this action, and not sure who to attack, so this remark is essentially just to inoculate Zhensha.

Hearing this, Masako subconsciously thought of a name, and then instantly felt like being immersed in cold water.But it was only for a moment; the next second, she bowed her head respectfully, without hesitation: "My lord is wise."

"You just need to expose the Sakura consortium and the Fuji family colluding with foreign enemies, and don't get involved in the following things." Xi paused, "The Fuji family and the Sato family were the same family when Konoha built the village. You know the importance."

"Yes."

Later, Xi changed the subject: "This matter is not urgent, at least it will not be carried out until the end of the war. Go back and make preparations; you know the current situation of the Sato family, so don't put your life on it."

"Yes." Masako replied as usual.Then Xi Xi gave a few more instructions and asked her to leave with a document.

Yu Lai, who was kneeling at the side, closed the luxurious bone fan, and said with a smile, "Sister Xi, is it okay to let her come? I heard that Ryu Xianghu has saved her life, and all the tasks of escorting her in the past three years are That Hinata led the team to execute it." The reason why she brought up this topic was because the ninja, who was outspoken and reckless, was under consideration—in view of his personality, he was of little use after the war.

"There will be no problem." Xi shook her head lightly, "I know her too well. For her, the family is above everything else."

"So that's how it is." Yu Lai smiled happily: "Speaking of which, we should go to Gui Ye too. Recently, I'm afraid there will be trouble soon."

"Yes." Xi narrowed her eyes slightly, "It's time to break the deadlock."

At this moment, one of the main characters the two were talking about was saying goodbye to Gaara.

"So, the elders reported an emergency in Sand Ninja Village, so you have to go back?" Gui Ye thoughtfully.

"Yes, Your Highness." Gaara said, "The elders said the situation is serious, and I will leave tomorrow morning."

"...That's fine." Gui Ye stopped scratching the table with his fingertips, "During the war, be careful."

Sending Kazekage-sama away without any sense of guilt, Gui Ye rested her chin and began to carefully review what she was going to say for a while—after all, she remembered the battle between Kakashi and A Fei in the original book clearly, and she definitely did not watch the live-action version Plot plan.

After a while, Her Royal Highness adjusted her expression, and began to make seals——Ninja Technique·Videophone Art~

The phone, ah no, it was Ninjutsu, and it was successfully connected soon.Kakashi picked up the phone and was about to speak when he saw his wife's rare, frosty expression.

"Ye? What's wrong?"

With a sullen face, Gui Ye went straight to the point: "Kakashi, there is something wrong with Xiao Lin's death."

Nohara...Lin?Kakashi didn't speak, but his eyes became extremely sharp.

"Yesterday, Sakura went to pay homage to Xiaolin, and found that someone had moved her grave." Gui Ye said quickly, "I already sent someone to monitor it last night. Can you come to Konoha immediately?"

It just so happened that Kakashi's vacation really falls within these two days, and he quickly said, "I'm leaving this afternoon."

"Yeah." Gui Ye pursed her lips, "I'll let someone guard it, so be careful."

"Okay." Kakashi responded, hung up the phone in a hurry, no, ninjutsu.On the contrary, Gui Ye stared at the place where his image was just now, and was in a daze.

——I remember when I came to Konoha when I was a child, I not only met Kakashi, but also got along well with his teammates Lin and Obito.

This thought was quickly thrown away by Gui Ye, she called her maid, and asked, "Kakashi will arrive in Konoha in a week, how is the preparation at home?"

"When you return to Your Highness, everything is ready, only saury and eggplant will be purchased on the day Mr. Hatake returns to the village."

"Yeah." Gui Ye nodded and got up, "It's time for us to set off."

The couple are not currently in Konoha; but compared to Kakashi, Gui Ye is much closer to Konoha—only three days later, she arrived at Princess Konoha's mansion.

Without even drinking his saliva, Gui Ye immediately sent someone to find Xiao Ying, waved his servants back and asked directly: "Xiao Ying, what happened to Xiao Lin's tomb?"

Gui Ye and Sakura have been in touch with each other through Ninja Video Call before, but due to concerns about the secrecy of this technique, Sakura only briefly stated what she found, without mentioning the details.At this time, she recalled and said: "I went back to Konoha during the vacation last year, and then accidentally made a very shallow scratch on Nohara-san's tombstone when I went to the grave. Four days ago, I I went to pay homage to Nohara-san again, but found that the scratches on the stele were gone. I don’t know why, but I felt something was wrong at the time. It was pure intuition. Later I told Sai about it, and he went to check and found Nohara-san’s The tombstone is not the original one, and the tomb has been moved, as if it was dug out and buried back as it was.”

"I want to notify Mr. Kakashi immediately, but Sai said that Mr. Kakashi is not in Konoha, telling him directly is useless and will seriously affect his thoughts, so we thought of coming to the Princess Mansion first. Sister Ying heard about this While sending someone to inform you, I asked a Hinata ninja to check the situation. After the Hinata came back, he said that Nohara-san’s body was black, which was very abnormal, so I guessed that there might be something wrong with the cause of her death.”

Gui Ye finished listening with a serious face, and frowned: "Xiaolin, she actually...forget it, Ying!"

The personal maid who was far away from the room a second ago somehow sensed the master's call, and quickly pushed the door open to enter the room.

"How about it?"

"Replying to Your Highness, there are no suspicious persons appearing or appearing near the tomb." Ying replied immediately.

"Yeah." Gui Ye responded casually, then turned to Xiao Ying and said, "I'm going to find some experts to look at Xiao Lin's grave later, do you want to go?"

"Okay." Sakura nodded.She couldn't understand the extremely wicked behavior of digging graves, not to mention that the owner of the grave was her friend who respected her elders.

"Then let's go." Gui Yefeng got up in a hurry, and just about to lift his foot, he turned back and said to Ying, "Don't tell Kakashi the details of this matter, wait for him to come back."

"Yes."

Gui Ye's face is really great.Under her personal visit, several gray-haired retired ninjas quickly agreed to investigate Lin's grave; It was a good joke.

Of course, when our princess returned home that night, when she looked at her desk, she immediately lowered her face—there was still a desk full of information about the Kingdom of Wind waiting for her to check.

Another two days passed, and just as she was finally freed from the sea of ​​documents, the dusty Kakashi stepped into Konoha's gate—he saw that he rushed back at a speed of [-] miles, ninja There were wrinkles and dust all over the clothes, and the silver hair that was full of energy in the past was also messed up.

So Gui Ye naturally felt distressed.She forcibly pushed Kakashi on the sofa, and called a maid to prepare towels and clothes, and then blamed: "Look at what you have become. If you don't raise your spirits, even if you go to Xiaolin What can be found in front of his tomb?"

Kakashi nodded with a tired face, as if he didn't even have the strength to speak.

Gui Ye took the towel from the maid, wet it and helped Kakashi clean his face.After touching the cold water droplets, Kakashi finally regained his energy.

"Go and change." Gui Ye threw the towel back into the basin, "The preliminary investigation is over."

The people Gui Ye was looking for were not guaranteed in terms of efficiency or quality.Kakashi put on new clothes and returned to the bedroom. Gui Ye, who understood his thoughts quite well, began to explain the situation: "According to the investigation, Xiaolin's grave and tombstone were indeed moved, and the old monument was replaced with an identical new one. , the time should be about two months ago. The skill of the shooter is quite skilled, and it should be a professional who has undergone long-term preparation. Moreover, there have been several heavy rains in Konoha in the past two months, so there is no trace of the shooter " She paused, then continued, "Actually...they suggested that I do an autopsy..."

"Open the coffin?" Kakashi frowned for a long time, "...the only way?"

"Yes..." Gui Ye said heavily, "In two months, all the clues on the surface are gone, only the ones buried in the ground can keep some. And there is... the real cause of Xiaolin's death..."

Kakashi felt his nails digging into his flesh.After a full minute, he said softly: "Okay..." After all, I can't... let Lin leave in such a baffling manner.
