Konoha's Legacy Master

At this time, in His Highness’s study room.

His Highness held the Daimyo's body and burst into tears. Two root ninjas stood beside him to guard him.

Shinnosuke, on the other hand, was forced into the corner of the room by the other eleven guards, ready to fight.

After a while, a group of ministers came over after hearing the news. Looking at the daimyo who had lost his breath, all of them looked extremely ugly.

They all asked the people in the room:

"Who harmed the lord?"

The eleven guards turned their attention to Shinnosuke one after another, with a look of caution in their eyes.

When the ministers saw this scene, they looked at each other and were shocked.

Then it was replaced by resentment.

"Shinnosuke, do you know what you are doing?

Is this what you mean or what Konoha means?" the finance minister immediately asked.

Shinnosuke looked solemn and said:

"I didn't kill the name.

I was in the hall just now, and His Highness and His Highness the Daimyo were in the study.

After I sensed the chakra fluctuation, I rushed in and found that His Highness had killed His Highness the Daimyo with Earth Release and Earth Thorn.

I was about to arrest His Highness when these two... Anbu ninjas came in."

Everyone was slightly startled after hearing Shinnosuke's explanation, and then turned their attention to His Highness, who was crying.

His Majesty's lips were pale, and he slowly raised his head to look at Shinnosuke with a numb face.

"Haha...

Is Nahara already so impatient?

What benefit did he give you to make you take such a big risk to frame me?"

Shinnosuke frowned and said in a deep voice:

"Your Highness, your methods are too clumsy.

I have no reason to kill His Highness the Daimyo.

On the contrary, it is you, because His Highness the Daiming wants to pass the position to His Second Highness, and you feel resentful towards His Highness the Daiming."

His Highness's eyes were full of tragedy. He hugged the daimyo's body tightly, tried his best to suppress his emotions, and sobbed:

"How could I bear to kill my biological father?"

The Supervisory Minister narrowed his eyes and asked Shinnosuke, "Why are you in the room?"

Shinnosuke said calmly: "His Highness asked me to wait in the room to protect his safety."

When the Supervisory Minister heard this, he immediately said angrily: "Don't you think the excuse you made up has too many loopholes? There are four nurses guarding outside, so there is no need for you to come in."

Then he asked the nurse who was guarding the daimyo at night: "What did the four of you see when you came in?"

One of the oldest nurses said in a deep voice: "When we came in, we only saw His Highness holding the body of His Highness the Daimyo.

Shinnosuke was about to attack His Highness, but was blocked by two Konoha ANBU who jumped in from the window."

"The two of them were sent by Danzo-sama to protect me." His Highness explained casually.

Upon hearing this, the Supervisory Minister frowned.

This matter is even more complicated. Maybe the daimyo is just a victim of the power struggle in the shinobi village.

At this moment, His Royal Highness, surrounded by a group of attendants, came to the study.

"What's wrong with dad? Is dad okay?"

When His Highness heard this voice, there was a hint of killing intent in his eyes.

However, as soon as His Highness the Second Prince stepped into the study, he saw the daimyo pierced by earth thorns and blood flowing all over the room.

Immediately his eyelids twitched and he fainted from fright.

Fortunately, the attendants were quick to catch him.

The ministers couldn't help but frowned when they saw His Highness's appearance, and quickly ordered: "Take His Highness back to rest."

The identities of the two people present are extremely special. One is the son of the Hokage and the other is the son of the daimyo.

Without irrefutable evidence, even arresting them is impossible.

The matter reached a deadlock for a while, and all the ministers were helpless.

The Minister of Supervision said solemnly:

"Is there any way you can prove your innocence?"

His Highness shook his head and said:

"Everything happened suddenly, and I had no way to prove my innocence.

I used to think that Shinnosuke colluded with Nahara, but seeing how sad Nahara looks, it might be for other reasons.

However, I think we can search the Shinnosuke Mansion to see if there are any clues."

One of the nurses immediately said coldly: "I'll check.

No one is allowed to leave until the truth is revealed, and the Fire City will be under martial law immediately."

At this time, except for Shinnosuke, most of the Twelve Guardians were personally cultivated by the daimyo who spent a lot of resources.

They have been loyal to the daimyo since birth, and many ministers also trust them.

Unlike the later period when Asma became the guardian, the guardian divided into moderate and radical factions.

One side is loyal to the daimyo and the other side is loyal to the hokage.

After a while, the nurse returned to the study with a gloomy look, holding a piece of paper tightly in her hand.

It is exactly the letter of guarantee that His Highness the Second Highness wrote to Shinnosuke.

"I found this in the secret room of his bedroom."

When Shinnosuke saw it, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he secretly thought: Damn it, it was calculated.

The nurse handed the guarantee letter to others to read one by one. Sure enough, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Shinnosuke.

The Supervisory Minister looked at Shinnosuke with cold eyes.

"How do you explain this? You are His Highness's nurse, why should you ask His Highness to write a guarantee for you?

When did the relationship between you and His Highness become so good? What kind of deal did you make?"

Shinnosuke was sweating profusely at this moment, and his anger was rising in his heart. He gritted his teeth and said to His Highness: "You did it on purpose from the beginning..."

His Highness lowered his head and did not look at Shinnosuke. He kept breathing heavily and said angrily:

"Nahara...why did you do this..."

Shinnosuke knows that he can't argue, but he thinks that he has a special status, even if he is being slandered now.

You can also wait for Sarutobi Hiruzen to send someone to help find out the truth.

Presumably His Highness's despicable methods will definitely surface under the investigation of Konoha Anbu.

He immediately said loudly: "I know you don't believe me, it doesn't matter, I will not leave the City of Fire.

You can slowly find out the specific situation."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, His Highness raised his head with a sneer and said:

"Okay, now you are still stubborn.

Then I suggest asking a ninja who can torture memories to check Shinnosuke's memory.

But this ninja cannot be from Konoha."

All the ministers looked at each other.

Exploring memories can take a heavy toll on the psyche.

Shinnosuke's status is too special. For the ministers who are always accustomed to weighing the pros and cons, no one dares to agree with him.

But for the other eleven guards who are loyal to the daimyo, this is a very good suggestion.

Even though a guard said:

"Okay."

"I just happened to learn some ninjutsu to explore memories, let me do it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shinnosuke's hands turned into afterimages and he quickly formed seals.

The whole person suddenly plunged into the ground, broke through the ground, and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Now that things have come to this point, it is naturally impossible for Shinnosuke to stay and have his memory checked.

Putting aside the serious side effects of the investigation, let me just say that every piece of information I know about Sarutobi Hiruzen is considered top secret.

How can I let others know?

And when he escaped like this, in the eyes of everyone, he did not dare to have his memory probed and fled with a guilty conscience.

"Catch him."

The eleven guards had a tacit understanding and left five people to guard the study.

The remaining six people disappeared and chased Shinnosuke.
