Chapter 173 I'm not Sasuke's father, why did you call me after a fight?
"I heard from Tsunade that you have been investigating and paying attention to this matter."
"right."
Yan admitted:
"Because this is related to Uchiha's reputation and whether Uchiha can resolve the misunderstanding with the village, so I investigated a lot of files and family documents."
"This mysterious man possesses Uchiha's Sharingan, so he must be from Uchiha.
I have investigated the Uchiha people who have betrayed the family and the village over the years, but I can never find the corresponding person, and the other person also claims to be Uchiha Madara."
"Many people suspect that this person is Madara who once betrayed the village and wanted to destroy it, but I don't think so."
Are there any clues?
Jiraiya didn't expect to get some unexpected surprises from Yan.
Just tell me, I'm all ears.
Jiraiya had forgotten all about the Shimura clan.
All he could think about was the mysterious man on the night of the Nine Tails.
"Don't you think it's suspicious?"
Yan leaned forward slightly, and Jiraiya subconsciously leaned over: "What's suspicious?"
"The identity of the other party."
Yan raised his hand as an example:
"First of all, Madara Uchiha is a powerful ninja that only the First Hokage can fight against. If he really invades Konoha, I'm sure no one in Konoha can stop him.
According to family documents, Uchiha Madara does not control space-type ninjutsu, otherwise he has been fighting with the Senju clan for many years and there would be no records."
"I admit that the Fourth Generation is very powerful, but is there any difference between the Fourth Generation and the Second Generation?
Did the Nidaime shout that he could compete with Uchiha Madara?"
It's generally accepted that Minato is very strong, but Minato's strength depends on who he compares to.
No matter how strong Minato is, he is at most the second Senju Tobirama. How dare Senju Tobirama arm-wrestle with Uchiha Madara?
Sorry, it's too far off.
Put Minato in Senju Tobirama, and you will find that Minato blocking Uchiha Madara by himself is a joke.
Uchiha Madara really wants to destroy Konoha, but Konoha can't stop him at all.
"The mysterious man on the night of the Nine-Tails, his calculations went to the extreme, even using the Yondaime's wife's birth time, which shows that he needs to borrow the power of the Nine-Tails.
You must know that Konoha at this time is in a weak stage due to the war, and there is no second Hokage to stand up to protect the village."
"Not many people know Kushina's due date."
Jiraiya fell into deep thought.
Why is it that this enemy who claims to be Uchiha Madara can easily grasp the information and secrets that only a few people know?
Even if Uchiha Madara is not dead, he has lost his teeth due to old age. Whether he can reach Konoha is still unknown, let alone planning everything and attacking Konoha?
"Why would he target the Shimura clan?"
There are more and more doubts.
There are plenty of doubts, of course. Without any foreshadowing, how could you have the nerve to pass the blame to Obito?
"I can't figure this out either."
Jiraiya was still sitting in the captain's office of the police department, thinking hard, and Kakashi, who had rushed back from Damingfu, also arrived in the village.
Returning to the village, Kakashi immediately came to the Hokage's office building.
"Kakashi, why did you leave your post without permission and return to Konoha privately?"
At this time, Kakashi should stay in the Daimyo Mansion and take on the job of protecting the Daimyo.
As a result, he ran over without saying a word. If the daimyo knew about it, he would definitely go crazy.
There have been enough things, and neither the Third Hokage nor Tsunade want to quarrel with the daimyo anymore.
Lowering his head and saluting, Kakashi said:
"Hokage-sama, Tsunade-sama, I have entrusted Shisui with the task of protecting the daimyo.
I returned to Konoha privately this time because I have something very important to report, and because it concerns Asuma, I can only come back in person."
A very important thing, it also concerns Asma.
Could this kid have caused trouble in Daming Mansion again?
The Third Hokage's old face darkened as soon as he heard that it was related to his son who was disobedient and made him look like a gangster.
It hasn't been long since he provoked Uchiha and fought with Uchiha's people.
What good thing did this kid do again?
"...."
Old man, you are really not a qualified father.
Tsunade was also speechless.
"Could it be that Asuma got into trouble?"
"..."
Is this your first reaction?
Kakashi paused and answered bravely:
"That's not the case, but Asuma is missing."
"It's good that I didn't cause any trouble."
The Third Hokage breathed an inexplicable sigh of relief. He could no longer control his youngest son. Something was wrong.
Teacher, you are so arrogant. Your son is missing, but you just say he didn't cause any trouble.
Is getting into trouble more terrible than having your son disappear?
Tsunade was stunned and looked at the Third Hokage with a confused expression, and Kakashi also blinked.
He wanted to hypnotize himself and tell himself that the Hokage must have said something wrong.
"You said Asuma is missing?"
The Third Hokage, who was breathing a sigh of relief one second, his voice rose several times the next second.
This is a normal reaction.
Kakashi wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Yes, because I arrived at Asma for my shift change, but he didn't show up, so I went to look for him, and finally found that he was missing. There was the smell of a stranger in the room. He must have mastered space ninjutsu."
Kakashi shared the results and speculations of his investigation one by one.
"Missing, missing again, who did it?"
The Third Hokage couldn't hold himself any longer. The head and elders of the Shimura clan disappeared, and his son also disappeared in the Daming Mansion.
Before, he suspected that it was Yan who did it, but now it seems impossible.
Let’s not mention that Hiko has never left the Uchiha clan, but let’s talk about how a person ran from Konoha to the Daming Mansion and back again in one night?
Are there any missing cases in the village?
Kakashi was surprised.
Tsunade felt like her brain was about to explode and explained helplessly:
"This morning, people from the Shimura clan came to report that their clan leader and two elders were missing. They disappeared under mysterious circumstances. There were no traces of the battle, and there weren't many clues worth pursuing. The situation is similar to Asuma's."
"Where's Jiraiya? Let Jiraiya come see me!!!"
His wife is dead, and now his youngest son is also missing. This is a huge blow to the Third Hokage at this age.
Seeing that Hokage-sama was not in a good mood, the ANBU people quickly went to notify Jiraiya.
"Jiraiya-sama, Hokage-sama invites you."
Jiraiya, who was still analyzing Kazuhiko in the police department, was stunned for a moment: "I understand, thank you for your hard work."
I'm leaving.
He made a gesture to Hiko to get out of the way, and Jiraiya walked away simply.
"Where did you learn this habit?"
Looking at the windows that were constantly swaying in the wind, Yan didn't know what to say.
