Konoha: The Path to Godhood Begins at Kannabi Bridge

Chapter 237 Escaped using the art of heavenly sending

Fruy's body was taken out of the dilapidated house, and when experts from the ANBU corpse disposal team examined Fruy's body, they discovered that the same chakra remained on Takai's body.

It is possible that the murderer of Takaj and Fruy was the same person.

Unfortunately--

This discovery is currently of little use.

This does not help Yun Ren catch the murderer, nor can it be used to find out the murderer's true identity... It would be better to talk about the successive murders of Takai and Fruy, and the inexplicable possession of the boy named Vai. The incident of killing someone on the street with the strength of a jounin brought a huge impact to Kumogakure Village.

Not to mention other places,

The atmosphere in this high-end residential area is quite tense. The former Raikage's assistant, Fruy, was attacked and killed at home. How can the rest of the people feel safe?

"...Tutai, prepare for martial law!"

Ai looked at Fruy's body and said slowly.

"Yes, Raikage-sama."

Tutai responded.

He knew that Lord Raikage's order was the right choice, although he did not think that the murderer would be caught after martial law. Declaring martial law was a disguised way of telling the villagers that the village would take action against the events of the past two days.

This can at least stabilize the hearts of the people in the village and prevent chaos within the family.

after all,

The Ninja World War ended not long ago, and the villagers' emotions were quite sensitive.

"Dodai, I suddenly feel that this matter...may have nothing to do with Konoha." When Dodai passed on the order of martial law and returned to the Raikage-sama, he heard these words.

"Lord Raikage?"

"The murderer who killed Takai used wood escape, and also used Sharingan to control Takai... At that time, I really felt that Konoha was seeking revenge, and that the Sandaime Hokage was jealous of us. His eldest son was killed in the operation to seize the bloodline of the Uchiha clan, so he sent someone to kill Takai in revenge."

Ai said to himself, "But now I don't think so. Killing Takayi can be said to be revenge, but taking action against Fruy... I would say be cold-blooded. Doing so will not only anger us." , there is no loss to the overall strength of our village."

Tutai couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

He also holds the same view.

Therefore,

I feel like what happened these past two days is particularly weird.

"The Sandaime Hokage may be old, but he shouldn't be that stupid. He would not do such harming and selfless things. He is the real culprit who killed Takai and Fruy. Nine times out of ten, he is not a Konoha ninja."

After saying his opinion, Ai looked at Tutai again and asked: "Tutai, what do you think?"

"There is no doubt that the murderer is related to Konoha. Neither Wood Release nor the Sharingan can be separated from Konoha. However, the relationship between the murderer and Konoha is probably not a positive relationship. He deliberately used Wood Release to kill the tower. Kai... It feels like he is deliberately leading us to deal with Konoha."

Tutai cautiously expressed his thoughts.

"You mean the murderer and Konoha... have a hostile relationship?"

Ai narrowed his eyes.

If that's the case, maybe... we can try to join forces with Konoha to deal with this elusive murderer.

This is a world where great power can be gathered into one body,

Even Yunyin Village, one of the five major ninja villages, dares to underestimate those masters who can conquer the world alone. A top master may not be able to destroy a village, but he can completely bring trouble to any village. Restless.

It is even more terrifying when this top master also possesses a method that can avoid the search of most sentient ninjutsu by sentient ninjas.

"If Troy and the others fail to catch the murderer, they can try to contact Konoha later." Ai said softly. “You can leave this errand to me then.”

Tutai responded.

It was obvious that he agreed with Raikage's decision.

"Speaking of which, I received news earlier that Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas of Konoha, has defected... At this time, Konoha should really have no energy to retaliate against us!"

The news of Orochimaru's defection has spread uncontrollably.

but,

The information about Minato's succession to the Fourth Hokage has not yet reached Kumogakure Village, so Ai and Todai don't know that Konoha is no longer in charge of the Third Hokage now. Konoha and Kumogakure Village, Sunagakure Village and Kirigakure The village has also entered the era of the fourth generation.

Among the five great ninja villages, only Iwagakure is still under the rule of the Sandaime.

"Yes! Konoha should be too busy taking care of itself at this time. How can it still have the energy to tease us." Dodai frowned, thinking about whether the murderer killed Takai and Frui because of personal hatred? Or is there a third-party force behind the scenes?

Or is there another possibility?

He racked his brains, but due to the lack of clues, he was still unable to sort out a clear and plausible context.

at this time,

There was a commotion in the distance,

Nearly ten jounin figures appeared in the field of vision, and walking at the front was a middle-aged man with short purple hair, a resolute appearance, and a yellow scarf around his neck.

"Lord Raikage!"

The man with short purple hair walked forward quickly, bowed his head and saluted Ai.

"Troy, stop talking nonsense and tell me have you caught up with the damn murderer?" Ai asked straight to the point without any ambiguity at all.

The name of this man with short purple hair is Troy. He has the "Magnetic Release" blood inheritance limit. He is very powerful and is also a famous master among the Jonin of Yunyin Village.

"No."

Troy replied solemnly, with a sad look on his face.

"Phew! If not, there won't be. That guy's ability to escape is really great. There's nothing to blame if the sensing ninjas can't find it. Troy, there's no need to show such an expression."

Ai sighed in disappointment.

But he was excited again in the blink of an eye, and he was mentally prepared for this result.

however--

"Lord Raikage... In fact, we caught up with the murderer." Troy said bravely.

"what?"

Ai was stunned.

Immediately, he frowned and stared at Troy and the jounin behind him. Although their clothes were not very clean, they were all dust from the journey and there were no traces of battle.

"Now that we have caught up with the murderer, why can't we capture the murderer or kill him on the spot? Looking at you guys...it doesn't seem like a fight has broken out?"

Ai questioned.

beside,

Tutai also looked puzzled, wondering what the situation was like for Troy and the others.

"... Raikage-sama, we caught up with the murderer outside the village, but just when we surrounded the murderer, the murderer... used the Heavenly Sending Technique to escape. .”

Troy said something that made Ai and Dodai look confused.

Are you kidding me?

Escaped using the art of heavenly sending?

Ai looked at Troy with wide eyes, and even wondered if Troy and the others were controlled by someone using illusions. Otherwise, how could he say such ridiculous things?
