Chapter 88 Explained

"How about we come up and talk?" Kakashi said.He and Tenzo stood on the shore, feeling that it seemed a little inappropriate to chat with Yanzong who was just sitting in the water.

"Ah!" Yan Zong took some water, washed his face, and stood up.I slowly walked to the shore and put on my clothes.

"You are finally here. You have been waiting for a long time. Did you follow the mark I left to find you?" Yan Zong said while getting dressed.

"Ah!" Kakashi responded.

"Won't you introduce yourself?" Yan Zong said, "My name is Yagyu Yanzong, the future head of the Yagyu family."

"During the mission, a ninja will not..." Kakashi was interrupted before he could finish his words.

"Oh, it's Kakashi!" The old man walked out of the woods.Kakashi followed the voice and realized it was someone he knew.

"Fousuke-san, why are you here?" Kakashi glanced at the pot that was cooking and suddenly realized, "It turns out you are the one cooking here!"

"Senior, are you okay? Your real name has been exposed." The ninja next to Kakashi interjected.

"Ah, I'm sorry, are you on a secret mission?" The old man rubbed the back of his head and said with a smile, "But Kakashi, you were already famous before you joined ANBU. And it's useless for you to wear a mask."

Yanzong listened to them and got dressed.He didn't find it strange that the old man was a ninja. He could tell from the short sword genzune on the old man's back that he had fighting ability.

Kakashi took off his mask. He was wearing a black mask with only one eye open.The other eye was closed and there was an obvious mark on it. Yan Zong thought he might be blind.But that's okay, the ninja seems to often hurt his eyes, because he found that the old man also had a problem with one of his eyes.

"Are you all from Konoha?" Yan Zong wanted to make sure.

"Yeah!" Kakashi looked at Yan Zong and responded. Yan Zong looked at him, and a kind of indifference that had been battled for a long time could be seen in his eyes.Although he only has one dead fish eye now.

"Sit down and let's talk. The purpose of chasing you here and me leading you here should be the same." Yan Zong said while holding his money bag and walking towards the pot.

It won't be long before it gets completely dark. Kotomune, Kakashi, and Tenzo sat down next to the pot.Gu Jie is a very easy-going person. When he went out to chop bamboo, he brought back some bamboo shoots and put them in the pot together.Because there were two extra mouths, Yan Zong took out all the rice. At this time, Gu Jie was adding water to the bamboo tube that had been filled with rice by the stream.

"Konzune, we have been to the village you have been to." Kakashi started from here.

"Ah, what's wrong?" Yan Zong's expression was flat.

"What did you do in the village?" Kakashi said indifferently.

"He helped them eliminate a group of bandits, that's all."

"Have you forgotten what you did to the village chief's daughter-in-law so quickly?" The masked ninja said angrily.

"Oh, do you have any evidence?" Yan Zong chuckled disdainfully.He means I did it, can you find evidence that I did it?

"You..." Tianzang was speechless. He had no evidence.

"Ah, it doesn't matter." Kakashi said, "Tell me about your escort!"

Yan Zong was silent for a while, he was about to lie.The lie had already been arranged, so he didn't need to organize the language.

"This..." Yan Zong hesitated, "At noon that day, according to the original plan, we will arrive at the handover point on time in one day."

"It was dinner time, and I ate as a small team of five people took turns, while the rest were on guard. But I was still attacked, and a guy directly attacked me." Yan Zong smiled disdainfully at this point.

"The guy was cut into two pieces by me, and then another person came out and dragged me back. I was surrounded by him with an earthen wall, and then we fought with him. The guy wore a mask like you. "

"Did you see the wounds on my body when I just took a shower? It was that guy who did it." Yan Zong took off his shirt, revealing the circular wound on his right shoulder.

"You haven't bandaged it?" Kakashi looked at Yan Zong's wound carefully and frowned. Yan Zong's wound was filled with pus.

"Of course I've bandaged it, but it's of no use." Yan Zong had indeed bandaged it, using a cloth strip at the village chief's house.

Kakashi took out a roll of bandages and a bottle of medicine from the pouch on his lower back.He handed it to Tianzang, meaning that Tianzang would help Yan Zong bandage it.Tianzang did not hesitate and began to bandage Yan Zong's wounds.He poured the powder from the medicine bottle onto Yan Zong's wound. Yan Zong gritted his teeth slightly and endured the pain of applying the medicine.

"During the battle, I could still hear the screams outside, but as time passed I couldn't hear anything. That guy was very strong, otherwise I wouldn't have been injured, but it wouldn't be that easy for him to kill me," Yan Zong continued.

"The guy also noticed this, and the battle outside ended, so he chose to run away. I tracked him all the way and left marks for you along the way."

"We checked the place where you were attacked. It was a group of people who attacked you. Why didn't those people help the guy wearing the mask and join forces to deal with you?" Tianzang asked, who was bandaging Yan Zong's wounds.

"How do I know?" Yan Zong said with a smile.

"Thank you!" Kakashi took the bowl and chopsticks from Gusuke and said, "You continue."

Gu Jie has already filled the bamboo tube containing rice with water and placed it under the pot.He went about his business without interrupting their conversation.But he still listened.

"I followed that guy to the place where his accomplices gathered. I don't know who killed them. But I can confirm that they were probably here for Kotetsu." Yan Zong took the bowl and chopsticks handed to him by Gu Jie, "You guys investigate Have you been to the scene?"

The bowls and chopsticks handed over by Gu Jie were made of bamboo and were already filled with soup and ingredients.Gu Jie handed another bowl to Tianzang, but Tianzang shook his head.He didn't want to take off his mask.

"After investigation, they were looted." Kakashi took a sip of the soup and said, "It tastes really good. It is a rare treat to have a meal in the wild."

"Ah, it's a pity that the cooking ninja has been eliminated." Kosuke shrugged and said with a wry smile.

"Well, it's really good, but why?" Yan Zong took a sip of the soup and was curious.

"Because it's no longer needed." Gu Jie simply replied, and Yan Zong didn't delve into this issue, so he continued.

"I also thought they had been robbed, so I decided to chase that person as I couldn't get any clues. It was obviously another group that did it."

"You should all know what happened after that." Yan Zong said, "I will deal with the wound on my leg myself."

Tianzang had already bandaged the wound on Yan Zong's shoulder and handed the bandage and medicine to Yan Zong.Yan Zong took the medicine and bandaged the wound on his leg.

"I have a question. A samurai escaped." Kakashi said.

"Really? I didn't have time at the time, so I left the mark and chased him." Yan Zong said while bandaging the wound.

"You never thought about staying to see if anyone is still alive?" Tianzang's tone was a little unkind.He felt that Yan Zong was someone who didn't care about his companions and bullied the weak.Obviously, he was misled about Yan Zong by the words of the village chief and his family, and Yan Zong did not explain the village chief's accusation.

"Brother, don't ask these meaningless questions." Yanzong was a little impatient, "I'm not a doctor, and I said I don't have time. If the knife is lost, our Yagyu family will be responsible, and that is in the Kingdom of Iron. Lost within the territory!”

"You..." Tianzang wanted to argue, but he seemed to have poor ability in this area.

"Forget it, Tenzo, he is just doing things from his perspective." Kakashi said, "Kototsu, can you let us check your things? We need to make sure that Kotetsu is not on you. .”

"You just saw it on me, so it's definitely not there. But if Kotetsu is on me, I will hide it." Yanzong shrugged and drank the soup.The meaning is already obvious, let them check it as they please.

Kakashi and Tenzo searched Yanzong's luggage, including armor; Yanzong and Gusuke tasted the delicious food.Kotomune's luggage was really simple, so Kakashi directly picked up Kotomune's bag of money.

"Where did this money come from?" Kakashi looked at Yan Zong and asked.

"Haha, I got it from the bandits." Yan Zong smiled proudly.He got it from both ends.

"What about this?" Tianzang took out a map of the Kingdom of Fire from the shoulder pads of Yan Zong's armor, "Why do you bring a map? It stands to reason that you don't need it."

"Well, they got it from the bandits." Yan Zong answered calmly, "That group of bandits came from the Kingdom of Iron. If you don't believe me, you can go and take a look. They all use samurai swords."

"What about the knife next to you?" Tian Zang decided that Yan Zong was not trustworthy.

"Alas!" Yan Zong sighed and reached for the knife.Kakashi instantly arched his body and prepared for battle, and Tenzo did the same.Only Gu Jie, who was sitting opposite Yan Zong, remained calm.

"Calm down." Yan Zong said with a smile.He didn't look at the two of them, but he felt their thoughts directed at him.

"You should know that the handle of Kotetsu's sword is black, right?" Yanzong said calmly, "otherwise, how can you determine what you want to escort?"

"The handle of the knife can be replaced." Tian Zang said coldly.He and Kakashi didn't relax.

"Forget it, come and take a look. My sword is called Xinshou and it is my saber." Yan Zong exhaled. He said a lot today.

Kakashi and Tenzou looked at each other and walked towards Yanzong carefully.They have information about the escorts, and the information shows that Yan Zong is very strong.The two of them have always been cautious and will take precautions if they sense a threat.

Now they are in the state of investigation. If Yan Zong discovers something, there is no explanation for his sudden attack on them.Even if you are prepared, you won't be caught off guard.

Yanzong raised his left hand with the knife, without looking at Tenzang who was approaching from behind.Tenzo carefully took the knife, opened it and found that it really had no blade.He looked at Kakashi, who understood what he meant and relaxed his guard.

"Can this knife really be used without a blade?" Tianzang was curious.

"You can give it a try." Yan Zong handed Tianzang a small piece of wood.

Tenzo took the wood and threw it into the sky, then slashed it with his sword.He watched the knife cut through the wood, but there was no hindrance in the hand, as if it was waving in the air.If it weren't for the two pieces of wood that fell, he couldn't believe that he had hit it.

"No wonder the daimyo wants to buy your sword." Tenzo muttered to himself, looking at the wood.

"Oh, are you ready?" Yan Zong chuckled proudly, "It's time to return the knife to me."

Tenzo put the sword back into its sheath, and Kakashi also relaxed his guard; they saw Yanzong's thoughts and reasons for not attacking.Tian Zang threw the knife to Yan Zong, who caught it without looking.

"Sorry! Can you come with us? Go to Konoha." Kakashi said gently.In fact, no matter what Yan Zong said, he would not believe it.The reason why they wanted to ask Yan Zong was actually to decide their attitude towards Yan Zong.

"This is not possible. How can I go to your place and let you slaughter me?" Yan Zong stood up.Kakashi next to him immediately jumped away.The three of them immediately confronted each other.

Yanzong definitely couldn't go to Konoha. He was afraid that the ninja would find some strange way to learn the truth from him.
