December 24th, Year 55 of the Konoha Calendar, evening, Ina Country, Shogun Mansion.
Yamazaki was lying on the bed in a daze with his arms pillowed on his head. Perhaps because he was going to study in Konoha next spring, he felt a little confused and couldn't sleep.
"Brother, can I come in?"
"Come in."
Mei Daizi opened the door and came in, wearing pajamas and carrying a small flower in her hair that served as a headband.
"Can't you sleep, Mei Daizi?"
"Um."
Yamazaki opened the quilt and let Meidaizi get in.
"Brother, I just feel like...well, I can't really tell you. Anyway, I just don't feel happy."
"Is it because of going to Konoha?"
"I don't know either."……
On December 25, around two o'clock in the morning, on the mainland, in the mountains near the western border of the Land of Thunder, there was a campfire.
A man in his thirties approached Hidan and Kakuzu who were taking a nap and said, "I'm sorry for keeping you two waiting."
Kakuzu said: "It doesn't matter, as long as you give me the money, you can wait as long as you want."
"Where's the blood? Without blood, I can't perform the technique." Hidan said.
The man used space ninjutsu, summoned a bottle containing red liquid, and handed it to Hidan.
"This is that person's blood. You can take action, but please promise not to spread the word."
Hidan excitedly took the bottle, "That's great, I'm going to kill someone again. The Evil God must be very happy."
"We are not interested in knowing who you are, nor are we interested in knowing what you are doing or who you want to kill." Kakuzu said, "Similarly, we don't want you to know the process of performing the technique. Please leave."
"Okay." The man said, "Goodbye." After saying that, he left.
When he reached a distance, the man used his psychic technique to summon a big kangaroo to come out, got into the big kangaroo's bag, then released the psychic technique, and disappeared with the big kangaroo...
In the country of rice, the headquarters of the Ninja Army.
The big kangaroo appeared in the zoo, and the man came out and took off his disguise. It was none other than Takegami Girei...
Yamazaki's room in the Shogun's mansion.
Yamazaki and Meidaizi chatted until they fell asleep, but at the same time they woke up and sat up.
"Brother, I feel like something happened to grandpa."
"Really? Let's go and have a look."
The two ran to Miyamoto Kokai's dormitory, attracting the attention of the guards.
"Something happened to Grandpa." Yamazaki said in a deep voice, "Grandpa would usually know about our movements."
Mochizuki Shinsaburo's expression changed. He opened the door and rushed into the dormitory to take a look. He stood there with tears streaming down his face and said, "Sir General!"
Miyamoto Koumi lay on the bed, but the blood had stained the bed red and flowed to the bottom of the bed. Judging from the amount of blood, he was hopeless.
"grandfather."
Yamazaki and Meidaizi rushed to the bed. Meidaizi opened Miyamoto Kōkai's quilt, stretched out her hand to explore Miyamoto Kōkai's chest, and immediately fell on Miyamoto Kōkai and started crying.
Yamazaki also burst into tears, but he still opened Miyamoto Koumi's pajamas to confirm again, and found that Miyamoto Koumi had five holes in his body.
"Asshole!" Mei Daizi said angrily, "Who, who killed grandpa!"
"Calm down, Meidaizi, calm down." Yamazaki hugged Meidaizi and said so, but he was also extremely angry in his heart...
On the other side, there is Tiannokuni, Otogakure, Orochimaru's laboratory, and Orochimaru's bedroom.
Orochimaru, who was sleeping, was awakened by the roar of the tyrannosaurus in the mental space.
Orochimaru quickly checked with his consciousness and found that the tyrannosaurus that was fused and sealed by the Yamata no Jutsu had increased in size many times, and had broken away from most of the seals. The roar flattened the entire mental space to the ground, turning it into nothing.
state.
Orochimaru was not surprised but overjoyed. Recently, he was experimenting with turning ninjutsu. Some people's consciousness persisted and they stayed in the mental space and resisted. He could only seal them in the mental space and let time slowly wear them down. It was very difficult for them.
It was a headache, now the problem is solved.
The more powerful this tyrannosaurus is, the better, the more valuable it is.
Orochimaru commanded the Yamata no Orochi to tightly wrap around the Tyrannosaurus, starting a tug-of-war between snakes and elephants...
The Country of Rice, the Shogun's Mansion, and the sleeping quarters of Miyamoto Kokai.
Following Mochizuki Shinsaburo's notice, the two deputy commanders of the Mochizuki Hundreds, Takayama Tomoya and Yukaku, rushed over.
"The news is now blocked, and all those who want to leave the house will be detained. Anyone who delivers the news will be shot without mercy."
Takayama Tomoya also knows the seriousness of the problem. If something goes wrong, there will be civil strife in the country of rice.
"Yes." The hundreds of people who were on duty at Wangyue took orders and dispersed. The general was killed silently. This is a great shame.
Mochizuki Shinsaburo asked: "Yukikuru, are there any traces of ninjutsu?"
"No." Xue He wiped his tears, "But your body is very strange."
Yamazaki asked: "What's the strange method?"
Xue He said: "Please see, this is a penetrating injury, but the pajamas are not damaged in any way. It is impossible for the murderer to take off the general's clothes first and then put his clothes back on for the general."
Mochizuki Shinsaburo said: "I also noticed this, so I asked you if there are any traces of ninjutsu."
Mei Daizi asked: "Why not? Why did the murderer just do it?"
Takayama Tomoya sighed: "Your Highness, the reason the murderer wouldn't do that is because it would be too troublesome and unnecessary."
Mei Daizi said: "Maybe it was intentional."
Yamazaki said: "Okay, the teacher will definitely investigate this matter, we just have to wait."
Mochizuki Shinsaburo asked: "Speaking of which, how did your two highnesses suddenly know that something happened to you?"
Yamazaki said: "It's just a feeling."
"It should be the connection between relatives," Xue He said.
Takayama Chiya said: "Okay, your two highnesses, please go and rest first. Leave this place to us. The following funeral will be very busy."
"No, I want to stay here with grandpa." Mei Daizi said and started crying again.
"Teacher, we won't disturb you." Yamazaki hugged Mei Daizi and sat aside...
After a preliminary examination of Miyamoto Kokai's body, the cause of death was five penetrating wounds on his body, and this is the strangest part.
The murderer was able to invade the General's Mansion silently, pass through the hundreds of people guarding Mochizuki, and kill Miyamoto Kokai without even letting out a scream. This was obviously not an ordinary person.
However, there are no traces of ninjutsu on Miyamoto Kokai's body. Is it really intentional as Meidaizi said?
But, who is the ninja who can do such a thing?
Mochizuki Shinsaburo, Yukikaku, and Takayama Tomoya are all puzzled...
In the morning, the Ninja Army Commandery Mansion.
Takegami Yirei's anxious waiting was settled when he received the news that the servants of the General's Mansion did not come out to buy items at the morning market on time.
Takegami Girei was so enthusiastic that he couldn't help but laugh. It was done. As long as his father climbed up and shouted, the Ina Country would belong to the Takegami family.
Now, no, I can't tell my father about this now. Only if my father doesn't know, then he won't have any psychological burden and can be confident...
On the way to the Ninja Army camp after breakfast, the commander of the Ninja Army, Yoshimi Takegami, received a report from a servant at home, "Sir, I just discovered that the General's Mansion is a little weird today. No servants have come in or out until now. Please do your best."
Go and have a look.”
"Okay, I understand." Wu Shangyi's heart suddenly thought, the servants are blocking the news if they don't come out. What happened?...
On the other side, Logistics Manager Kikuchi Tadashi was invited and hurried to the General's Mansion. After learning the truth, he felt as if he had been hit by a bolt from the blue. His whole body went limp. It was only thanks to Takayama Tomoya's support that he did not fall down.
"Quickly, take me to see the adults." Kikuchi Tadashi burst into tears.
Takayama Tomoya took Kikuchi Tadashi to see Miyamoto Kokai. Looking at Miyamoto Kokai who was crying, he wiped the corners of his eyes and let out a long sigh. In this way, there was nothing he could say.
At this time, the guard announced that Takeami Yoshimi was coming.
"Let him come in." Takayama Tomoya said depressedly, now passive...
When Takemi entered the general's residence, he heard faint cries and felt something in his heart. He couldn't help but quicken his pace and soon saw Takayama Tomoya in the courtyard outside the dormitory.
Wu Shangyi actually expected it and asked in a trembling voice: "Chiye, is it the general?"
"Yeah." Takayama Tomoya nodded sadly.
"General, Lord General." Takeami Yoshimi staggered into the dormitory, knelt down beside the crying Kikuchi Tadashi, and fell on Miyamoto Kōkai's body, crying loudly...
