Shadow Stream of Leaf

"My lord, this is Jonin from Konoha..."

After the three hurriedly arrived at the daimyo's dormitory, the head of the guard immediately introduced Hanyu's identity to the head of the crowd present.

After hearing the chief guard's words, the "adult" raised his eyebrows calmly, then immediately put on a wry smile and walked towards Hanyu, and then introduced himself.

"Master Hanyu, I'm Nikubo...I really didn't expect that Your Excellency would see such a scene."

In any case, for the nobles of the Land of Fire, it is the best thing for a Konoha Jami to appear at this time.

Before Hanyu came to the Daimyo Castle this time, he already had a brief understanding of the composition of the daimyo's clan. This "Master Nikubo" was the most important thing, because he was the uncle of the dead daimyo.

And just from the two sentences Nikubo uttered, it can be heard that he has begun to vaguely express to Hanyu that Daimyo's death has nothing to do with him.

Hanyu is not just a Jonin now, because he appeared at a special time, so it can even be said that temporarily his role is similar to that of Hokage...he represents the attitude of Konoha.

Nikubo-sama is still somewhat guilty, because he is more worried that Konoha's people think he has killed the daimyo than he doubts that Konoha's people have killed the daimyo.

After all, who benefits the most, who has the most motive for the murder... The things that the daimyo did in private are naturally kept from others, so no one will know Konoha's disgusting attitude towards daimyo.

"Master Nikubo, did you gather the people in this room? Are they...reliable?"

"Yes, after all, the matter is too important... Everyone is a relative of the daimyo, the pillar of the country of fire, so there will be no problem."

Whoever believes this sentence is a fool. Just from the first impression, Hanyu can tell that a considerable number of people in this room are lazy fire country moths.

Hanyu took a deep look at Nikubo, and then he said nothing.

In any case, there are too many people in this room, and the death of the daimyo is a bit dishonorable, and if you want to protect the reputation of the daimyo, it is natural that the fewer people present, the better, but now, people talk too much Miscellaneous, besides, it doesn't make any sense to talk about secrecy...

But power struggles are like this, and Nikubo has no need to protect the reputation of a dead daimyo.

You know, Nikubo's elder brother is a daimyo, and his nephew is also a daimyo, and he, although everyone has the same blood and is equally noble, but because he was born a little later, he can only be an ordinary nobleman... ...It should have been like this, but now the opportunity has come.

Nikubo looked only in his thirties, and the dead daimyo was even younger, and the daimyo had no children. What is there to say about all this?

"Let me...let's take a look at the daimyo's situation first."

Hanyu said this, and after Nikubo nodded, he walked towards the bed, and began to check it pretendingly.

"The time of death should be around two o'clock in the morning. The daimyo's throat was sealed with a knife. The murderer didn't hesitate to strike, while the man next to him had his neck broken at the same time. Neither of them struggled at all. It can be seen that the murderer's goal is very clear, it is deliberate... it should be done by the ninja."

The murderer himself was the coroner, so of course he would include some private items in the autopsy report. Obviously, the time difference between the dead ninja and the daimyo was three to five minutes, but Hanyu said that they died at the same time.

What does it mean to die at the same time? Isn't it just that they died on the bed at the same time?

"The murderer was very cautious. He didn't leave any useful clues. He didn't even rule out the possibility that he was an acquaintance. What is the identity of this person next to Daming?"

After a simple inspection, Hanyu stood up, and he came to some confusing "conclusions"... It is rare to see a person as bold as Hanyu. Came back with the murder weapon.

As long as someone checks his weapon and compares it with Daimyo's wound, it will definitely arouse suspicion. However... no one would do that to him at all, Hanyu is a ninja and it makes sense to carry a knife with him.

More importantly, Master Nikubo is a very upright person. As a ninja, Hanyu's death judgment for the daimyo is very authoritative. More importantly, this conclusion is beneficial to Nikubo, so he continued:

"Master Hanyu, the other deceased was a ninja whom the daimyo was very 'favored'... and we also think that the person who did it was a ninja, because no one noticed anything unusual that night, and no one noticed the situation until the next morning. .”

He bit the word "favor" to death, and the meaning in the words was self-evident... This person is silently joining hands with Hanyu to put shit on the daimyo's head.

The daimyo was really wronged, but the dead man couldn't justify himself.

And it can't be said that what Nikubo said is false, if Daimyo doesn't trust this ninja, will he let him guard the door of his bedroom? That ninja has pretty features, isn't he more pleasing to the eye than those Konoha ninjas who put hideous masks on their faces all day... It's just that this kind of trust is not to the point of favor.

Then, Nikubo continued to explain, "The daimyo didn't know why he repatriated Konoha's guardian ninja before, and then recruited many wandering ninjas, and now... daimyo really paid the price for his credulity and mistrust.

After the death of the daimyo, most of the ninjas he recruited escaped, and the remaining small part occupied the main hall of Miyagi, and now they are trying to negotiate terms with us. "

Hanyu smiled wryly, meaning "I'm so unlucky that I ran into such a shitty thing".

He continued, "There was a little turmoil at the wedding of the third Hokage earlier, which caused the envoys from various countries to stay in Konoha. Originally, the task of my team was to monitor the departure of the envoys of Yunyin, but the third Hokage asked me to return to Konoha. On the way, I came to the Daming City to explain to the Daming about the unfortunate death of the Daimyo's envoy in Konoha and the guarding of the twelve ninjas...

Who would have thought that such a thing would happen. "

Hanyu seemed to be complaining, but in fact he was calmly dismissing his suspicions and giving a reasonable explanation for his timely appearance.

"Those wandering ninjas... are they suspected of committing crimes?"

"I'm not sure, but the remaining ninjas seem to want to get the mission money that the daimyo agreed with them before leaving," Nikubo said.

The shit bowl can be thrown on the daimyo, but daimyo's death is a very serious matter after all, so he dare not talk nonsense about the murderer.

Anyway, it wasn't Nikubo who did it, let alone Konoha Ninja, so it's over.

Hanyu frowned, those wandering ninjas who escaped were not to say how smart they were, at least they had brains, but the ones left behind were really idiots, they don’t know how serious the death of a daimyo is, and Konoha would ignore it Well, once Konoha sends ninjas, what are they?

"There are too few traces at the scene. I suspect that the murderer didn't even stay in this dormitory for 30 seconds in total, so... it doesn't make sense to expose Daimyo's body like this. Let's restrain him." Then, Hanyu leaned closer to Nikubo's ear Said, "It's a bit too ugly, let's cover up the ugliness for the daimyo."

Nikubo followed suit and nodded, and said, "What Hanyu-sama said is, everyone, if you have nothing to do, please retreat for now, and send someone to collect Daimyo's body. We will definitely investigate the case to the end."

It's really funny that two people who have completely ruined the reputation of the daimyo are now pretending to protect the reputation of the daimyo.

Nikubo seemed quite prestigious. After his words fell, no one objected, and the nobles began to leave obediently.

It is conceivable that a large part of them can't control their mouths, and the news of the daimyo's death will spread quickly. However, compared with "the daimyo was assassinated", the focus of public opinion will be more concentrated On the weird point of "the daimyo died in bed with a man"... because the secrets of nobles are always talked about, and the psychology of curiosity is something that no one can stop.

But such news will only be gossip, and in order to deal with such gossip, the official characterization of the death of the daimyo is most likely the death of the "sudden illness" that Hanyu said before. As for the investigation of the case, only Go behind the scenes.

And Hanyu was doubtful, just because of the attitude Nikubo showed just now, after he succeeded the daimyo, would he have the leisure to investigate the cause of the death of the previous daimyo?

Enough, the name is just his nephew, not his real father.

"Master Hanyu, what shall we do next?"

After everyone retreated, when the people in Miyagi began to arrange the daimyo's appearance and collect the body, Nikubo asked Hanyu again.

"In short... Let's deal with those wandering ninjas who don't know how to live or die first."

Hanyu said in his heart to catch the blame man first... The murderer must have been found, but those wandering ninjas can barely give an explanation for this matter.
