Saving Uchiha starts from being the patriarch Uchiha Zongxian

The Arasaka family is considered a famous gangster group in Konoha. The reason why a small gangster group is called "famous" is because the Arasaka family has a good backer. Arasaka Katsumasa, the father of Arasaka Rokuro, joined the Daming Prefecture's special envoy in Konoha. From then on, the Arasaka family became the subordinates of the special embassy, ​​which was considered a semi-open secret in Konoha.

For the sake of the special envoy sent by the daimyo, and because the Arasaka family also knows how to keep a low profile and only rely on the special embassy to do some small businesses in gray areas, newly arrived special envoys often need such local snakes to help them get familiar with Konoha.

So as long as the Arasaka family doesn't cross the line and don't go too far, the police department and ANBU will always turn a blind eye to them.

"Listen to what you said, it's all the Arasaka family who forced you to do this kind of thing. The responsibility has been completely shied away from you."

Uchiha Torajiro looked indifferent.

It would be good if one of the ten sentences spoken by this old woman was true, but the only thing that was certain was that the Arasaka family must be involved in the disappearance.

"How dare you deceive Master Ninja." The old woman sighed heavily, with a helpless and bitter smile on her face, "We weak women are like reeds by the water. Whenever a strong wind blows, we have no other choice but to bend down and surrender." We have no choice. We dare not refuse Arasaka Rokuro-sama's request, and we also dare not not answer your questions, Ninja-sama. Disobedience and deception will bring us disaster. All we can do is obey."

these words,

Very interesting to say.

Uchiha Torajiro raised his eyebrows, even though he knew that this was what the old woman was saying, but when he saw the ordinary-colored wandering girls, they were trembling with fear like quails, but he mustered up the courage to stick out from behind the door frame. When he carefully looked at him and Yao Shi Dou, the thought of looking for trouble that was not strong in his heart was completely dispelled.

Embarrassing these wandering girls at the lowest level,

I really can't bear to look like this. If this spreads out, I won't be able to see anyone in the clan anymore.

"Take me to see it! How did you make people disappear?"

Uchiha Torajiro didn't talk about responsibility anymore, but asked about the details of the disappearance.

"My lords, please follow me."

The old woman was very discerning.

In the conversation with Uchiha Torajiro, she never asked questions, and she didn't even ask about their names. She just tried her best to answer the questions raised by Uchiha Torajiro and meet his requirements. She walked in front and led Uchiha Torajiro. Kabuto Yakushi came to a room full of bad perfume and cigarette smoke.

This bad environment made Uchiha Torajiro's nose feel a little uncomfortable, and his eyebrows frowned slightly. On the contrary, Yakushi Kabuto's expression did not change, and he seemed not to be affected in any way.

"It's right here."

The old woman walked to the bed and pushed open the light and cheap dressing table without any effort. On the exposed floor was an obvious trap door. She reached out and grabbed the handle above, and opened the trap door to reveal He came to the dark entrance to the underground passage, "The Arasaka family will come here every night to select the target of the central instrument. We will put something in the tea. When the target faints, the Arasaka family will take the target." Take it away from here, that’s why the number of people coming in and out doesn’t match up.”

"Authentic...Although it's very cliché, but if Kabuto hadn't been careful, he would have been fooled."

Uchiha Torajiro walked to the entrance of the tunnel, his eyes turned scarlet, and his sharp eyes dropped as he looked at the environment in the tunnel, "Where does this tunnel lead to?"

"The vegetable shop across the alley."

"vegetable shop?"

"I heard that the vegetable store is owned by the Arasaka family. They transport a large amount of fresh vegetables to the Arasaka family's mansion every day. I think this is how the missing people are sent away."

Uchiha Torajiro stared at the old woman for a few seconds, and the old and slutty woman met Uchiha Torajiro's gaze openly and did not avoid the pair of red eyes. "You know quite a lot!"

"It is an honor for me to be able to help you two adults."

The old woman said humbly.

Uchiha Torajiro snorted and turned to look at Yakushi Kabuto, "Kabuto, did you find anything?"

"This tunnel should have been opened using ninjutsu." Kabuto Yakushi stood next to Uchiha Torajiro, looking down. When he heard Uchiha Torajiro's question, he directly told his discovery, "And it can To use the Earth Release Technique to open up such a neat passage, the user must be at least a chuunin."

"That's right, this tunnel was not dug with hoes and shovels." Uchiha Torajiro frowned, looking unhappy.

Kabuto Yakushi was able to spot clues because he was as meticulous as a hair, and Uchiha Torajiro's discovery was due to his good eyes. He saw something was wrong and realized that this tunnel, which was not short, was the result of someone using forbearance. The technique was developed without disturbing pedestrians and residents on the ground.

Uchiha Torajiro knew what this meant.

this discovery,

This makes the disappearance case even more complicated.

Because this is Konoha, no matter how famous a small gangster group like the Arasaka clan is, it is still a gangster group after all. Even if the Arasaka clan gives extremely generous rewards, they still can't recruit people. According to Uchiha Torajiro's understanding, The Arasaka clan does not have any official ninjas among them.

That is,

The person who performed the spell was probably not from the same group as the Arasaka clan.

"When did this tunnel appear?" Uchiha Torajiro rubbed his eyebrows and continued to ask.

"Seven days ago, Mr. Arasaka Rokuro came to our store in disguise, followed by a man wearing a black hooded windbreaker. I didn't see his face, but this tunnel was probably made by that man. As for the trap door, look The old guy behind the door had learned his craft from a carpenter, so he installed a trap door to hide the entrance.”

The old woman explained it in detail.

Uchiha Torajiro pondered for two seconds and realized that he seemed to have nothing to ask. He glanced at Yakushi Kabuto and silently asked his subordinates if they had any other questions.

"Captain, I think it's almost time to report our findings to the ministry."

Kabuto Yakushi said softly.

"Don't you plan to go down and take a look?"

"There's no need, just make sure it's related to the Arasaka family. The biggest problem now is not to verify whether the other end of the tunnel is a vegetable store. How to deal with this matter is the biggest trouble. Captain, what do you think?"

Kabuto Yakushi remembered one thing,

Ten days ago,

The Fire Daimyo sent a new envoy to Konoha. At that time, many villagers took this opportunity to really liven things up, so much so that Kabuto Yakushi still remembered it. And it happened that the Arasaka family was supported by the special embassy. This made it hard not to Connect the two. ?

"······well!"

Uchiha Torajiro sighed, "Then let's retreat for now! After waiting all night, we won't be able to say that we are returning empty-handed. Let's pass back the intelligence and news we have collected so far!" As for how to deal with the Arasaka family, this kind of Leave the worries to the big shots above.

----

The Embassy, ​​this is a very special place in Konoha.

Different from the concierge hotels used to entertain other countries and other ninja villages, the special embassy located at the junction of the central area of ​​​​Konoha Village and the new area is where the special envoys dispatched by the Daimyo Prefecture of the Country of Fire are stationed. Special envoys are dispatched to Konoha. , and he is also a permanent envoy. It sounds strange, but in fact, once you understand it, you will understand that it is not strange at all.

The Fire Daimyo is nominally the supreme leader of the Fire Nation, but Konoha, the strongest military group in the Fire Nation, has maintained its own system of governance from the beginning.

For this,

How did the fire daimyos of the past treat Konoha Village?

The bones of the reporter who took advantage of the opportunity to ask this question in front of the former fire Daimyo are probably rotten. Regardless of whether the reporter's bones are rotten or not, the former Fire Daimyo answered the reporter's question with a smile. Question, he said that the one-country-one-village system is the foundation of peace in the ninja world. Damingfu and Konoha are the best friends. Whoever dares to provoke this relationship will be the enemy of the Fire Country.

The purpose of the Fire Daimyo's arrangement of special envoys to Konoha is very simple. It is to keep an eye on the troubles in Konoha Village and report any news to the Fire Daimyo through emergency channels immediately. In the past, when special envoys were not dispatched, the Fire Daimyo could only be passive. Waiting for Konoha to take the initiative to contact and report the information,

Especially during the years when the Nidaime Hokage was in power,

The First Ninja World War broke out due to the death of Senju Hashirama. The fire daimyo at that time did not receive the news report from Senju Hashirama, and was still wondering what kind of impact the death of Senju Hashirama would bring to the world. The result was that before he could figure out the reason, the war had already broken out for more than three days. Only then did the Fire Daiming know that the war had broken out!

Afterwards, he sent someone to ask the second generation Hokage, but the envoy was sarcastically said, "What's the use of telling you? Can you resurrect my brother? Or can you stop the outbreak of this war? I'm busy! I don't have time to talk to you. You're talking nonsense!" After saying that, he kicked the messenger out.

This indifferent second-generation Hokage is the main reason why the Fire Daimyo sent special envoys to actively collect intelligence. Unlike the first-generation Hokage, who is mild-tempered and bold but will not make people feel rude, the second-generation Hokage's love for Konoha must be Even more extreme, in his opinion, the importance of Konoha is higher than that of the Daming Palace.

I was tired of always knowing what happened in Konoha only after the fact, so I came up with a thing like the special embassy to let the fire lord know earlier what happened in Konoha.

"Dong dong! Sir?"

"It's Rokuro! What's the matter with coming here at this time?"

"Sir, the goods have been delivered."

"Is the cargo... already at this time?" The speaker of the hoarse voice in the room seemed a little surprised. The footsteps came from far to near, and then with a "bang", the door of the room was pushed open with great force, and he stood at the door. The man took two steps back early and was not accidentally hurt.

The person who walked out of the door was an old man who looked to be about sixty years old. His pale hair was slightly sparse and his gray beard was messy and unkempt. The old man raised his head and squinted at the rising sun, murmuring in his mouth. Said: "It's great to have a healthy body! I don't feel tired even after staying up all night. Sure enough, there is nothing more precious in this world than a healthy and strong body!"

The man standing at the door bent his head and pretended that he was just a stupid person. He heard nothing and saw nothing.

A corner of the demon tattoo can be seen on the exposed nape of his neck. This humble man is none other than Arasaka Rokuro, the second generation head of the Arasaka family. He succeeded his father, Arasaka Katsumasa, as the special The big shots in the embassy did their best.

"The things should still be sent to the same place."

The old man ordered, "When you go, check to see if Ogasawara is there. If he is there, ask him to come find me. If he is not, forget it."

"Yes, my lord."

Arasaka Rokuro agreed in a deep voice.

The old man in front of him is named Taira no Saiki. He is a confidant of the current Fire Daimyo and a nobleman of the long-standing aristocracy of the Land of Fire, the Taira Miyagi family. This time he came to Konoha as a special envoy, and Ogasa is the leader of the old man's bodyguard. , a cold and vicious man.

"By the way, sir, I met Mr. Kazuma when I came here."

Arasaka Rokuro said cautiously.

As expected, when he heard the name, the old man frowned and asked, "Why are you so careless?"

"It's because the subordinates are not doing their job well."

Arasaka Rokuro didn't dare to defend himself, he just bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

"Kazuma...that bumbling fake monk didn't find the goods, did he?"

"Probably not. I met Mr. Kazuma at the door. I just said hello and Mr. Kazuma went out."

"That's it! That guy... don't worry about him. As long as he doesn't mess with you, try to avoid that vulgar and rude guy in the future."

"Hey! Lord Heimiya, am I not as miserable as you say?"

The sound came from the wall.

The old man suddenly looked up and saw a man sitting on the wall with long white hair, a tin staff in his hand, and wearing nondescript monk robes. The old man's face suddenly changed, and his cold eyes were fixed. He stared at the man sitting on the wall, "Kazuma! When did you come here?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, Heigong-sama, I just came back from eating ramen and heard you scolding me outside the wall, so I couldn't help but climb up the wall to defend myself. I really don't know what you are doing recently. Almost 20 people have been arrested before and after, right?" Kazuma asked with some uncertain questions.

"Kazuma! You guy!"

The old man was shocked and angry.

As expected, Kazuma discovered his secret, and his heart suddenly became chaotic. He wanted to rush forward and kill Kazuma immediately, but his reason told him that he was probably not Kazuma's opponent. Kazuma was the guardian of the daimyo. The top two masters among the Twelve Ninja Warriors.

Although I have an incredible secret,

But this secret does not give him the power to defeat Kazuma.

"Don't worry, Mr. Heimiya, I have no interest in your secrets. I just want to remind you, don't go too far. This is Konoha, not the territory of your Heimiya family. If something happens, Come and smear the name’s face, no matter who it is, I will not forgive him.”

After Kazuma dropped these words, he turned over and jumped off the wall, and his figure disappeared from the sight of the two of them in an instant.
