Hundred Years of Hokage

Chapter 15 Corpses in the lower reaches of Nanga River

Konoha's mission gathering place.

The Third Hokage looked at several people in Class with confusion. Finally, his eyes rested on Hatake Kakashi, and his eyes were even more obscure.

Hatake Kakashi, the instructor of Class , was wearing a thick bandage on his arm, and this wound was newly added after participating in the survival drill.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at his arm, took a leisurely puff of cigarette: "Kakashi, is your injury okay?"

This Kakashi is simply a wonderful flower in guiding the upper ninja world!

In the past few years, his passing rate for graduates was zero; this year, he finally allowed a small team to pass the exam, but they were defeated by the graduates!

Hatake Kakashi stretched out his hands to straighten his messy hair, sighed and said, "It shouldn't matter, some ordinary ninja tasks are still fine..."

The Third Hokage nodded and took a puff from his pipe: "Well, help Lord Kawaxian take care of his little grandson, dredge the downstream river or clean up the weeds in the farmland?"

"Then choose the one with more pay!"

Uzumaki Naruto stood next to Hatake Kakashi and raised his eyebrows.

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at him and couldn't help but said: "Naruto, there are many people in the village who need help. Every task will always need a ninja to complete it. If everyone is picky, Those who need help will be anxious."

"But the difficulty of the task is related to the reward, right?"

Uzumaki Naruto pushed his ninja forehead, looked at the three generations of Hokage and said in a low voice: "Besides, I have become a ninja, and the living expenses given to orphans in the village will stop this month, and it is inevitable that I need entrusted rewards to maintain my life. "

Sarutobi Hiruzen paused when he heard this, looked through the task book in his hand, picked out one of the papers and said, "Is that so? There happens to be a long backlog of task commissions here because the environment there is too troublesome. , there has never been a genin to complete it.”

"It happens to be the D-level task that your team can currently accept, dredging the river downstream of Nanhe River. The maximum reward is ten thousand taels."

"Although the client is no longer here, the remuneration will still be paid in full."

Nanga River is the Nanga River in Konoha.

After Uchiha Sasuke heard the name, his expression changed immediately, but seeing Naruto Uzumaki's calm expression, he finally didn't make a sound to stop him.

After the seventh team arrived at the lower reaches of the Nanga River, Haruno Sakura couldn't help but cover her nose. The smell here was overwhelming. A thick tree trunk blocked the surface of the river, blocking the garbage that continued to float downwards, and also gave rise to various odors. Fewer flying insects.

Obviously there was more to it than that, the water should also be overgrown with weeds, because they could all see some lush aquatic plants protruding from the surface of the river, growing densely on the garbage.

The smell is strong and sour.

Hatake Kakashi sighed, and said with emotion: "It seems to be more difficult than the general task of picking up garbage! No wonder no ninja has been willing to handle this commission."

"If I had known better, I shouldn't have listened to Naruto!"

Sakura stretched out her palm to fan the air in front of her nose, her face turned pale: "Even if it's great to do some tasks like running errands, delivering letters, looking for pets, etc., this place is not suitable for me and Sasuke-kun to go on a date at all!"

"..."

Uchiha Sasuke's face darkened. He glanced at the unmoved Uzumaki Naruto and said, "This place has always smelled bad. I rarely go near it. I remember my father mentioned it once. , he will issue a task commission for this..."

The Uchiha clan has always been arrogant, cleaning rivers and picking up rubbish, etc. There is no way they would send a jounin from the clan to solve this matter.

Unexpectedly, this commission issued by the former leader of the Uchiha clan had been backlogged in the village, and it was never completed until there was only one orphan left in the Uchiha clan.

How many years have passed and Konoha has never dealt with it.

Hatake Kakashi seemed to know something. He pointed to his arm and said with a sigh: "My wound is not healed yet. The doctor told me not to get wet. It seems that this task can only be completed by the three of you." …”

Haruno Sakura: "..."

Sasuke Uchiha:"……"

Uzumaki Naruto nodded nonchalantly, raised his fingers and began to seal: "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"

Thousands of shadow clones stood densely packed in the space they were in. No matter how many times they saw it, their expressions of surprise still remained when they saw this scene again.

Hatake Kakashi was stunned: "..."

Haruno Sakura's eyes widened as she watched a group of Uzumaki Naruto's shadow clones packing their clothes. She said happily, "It seems like Naruto can complete this task alone!"

"Let me help too..."

Sasuke rolled up his pants and sleeves and whispered: "This place is not far from our clan's clan...and...it is also my father's entrustment during his lifetime."

"Then...I'll come too!"

Haruno Sakura rolled up her sleeves, gritted her teeth and chose to follow Sasuke's footsteps, but judging from her expression, it was not particularly beautiful.

The sun rises slowly, getting stronger and stronger.

The smell of the lower reaches of the Nanga River is also becoming more and more unpleasant.

After cleaning up all the garbage, Uzumaki Naruto and Sasuke worked together to push the thick tree trunk to the river bank. Just as they breathed a sigh of relief, Haruno Sakura's scream came from not far away.

Several people from Team flew towards her position and bumped head-on into the nervous pink-haired girl. She looked at her teammates with tears in her eyes, pointing to the cliff not far away and crying: " There...there are people...bodies..."

"alert!"

Hatake Kakashi left a word, and rushed over in one stride!

Because there is a certain ninja in the team, he has to be cautious. Since Konoha was established, there have been many spies who have sneaked into Konoha.

If a murder occurred here, it would be no small matter.

However, when Hatake Kakashi saw the corpse, his expression gradually became stiff, and he turned his head and slowly set his eyes on Sasuke.

Uchiha Sasuke was shocked: "Mr. Kakashi, who is that dead person, and what happened?"

"Come and see!"

Hatake Kakashi rubbed his white hair.

Under the cliff in the shade, dense weeds and bushes grew, and a ninja corpse in Anbu costume lay there, exuding an unbearable stench.

His body had rotted, perhaps because of the location of the preservation. No birds or animals came to gnaw at his bones, and some outlines could even be seen faintly on his face.

Kakashi Hatake looked at Uchiha Sasuke who was walking slowly, his eyes gradually dull, and explained in a low voice: "The preliminary judgment should be that the river washed him here, because the surrounding water is close to the place, and there are only cliffs above, so the Saved…”

After finishing speaking, he took off a nameplate from the body and handed it to Uchiha Sasuke: "You should...know him."

Uchiha Sasuke looked at the words on the nameplate and slowly knelt down in front of the corpse. Two lines of tears flowed down his cheeks and he sobbed softly: "It's Brother Shisui..."

Haruno Sakura looked puzzled: "Kakashi-sensei?"

Hatake Kakashi sighed and pulled up Sasuke's body: "Sasuke, this matter needs to be reported to the village. Shisui is the jonin in the village. He has been missing for six years and was actually assassinated by someone who sneaked into the village. Well, this is no small matter..."

"I know who the murderer is."

Uchiha Sasuke clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and his face gradually turned ferocious: "Many people in our clan knew that he was the one who killed Brother Shisui!"

"For power, he killed everyone!"

"It must be him!"
