Saving Uchiha starts from being the patriarch Uchiha Zongxian

Chapter 223 Scorpion of Scorpions

I didn't expect that this kind of thing would happen. If you really want to investigate the fault, there must be something wrong, because it has never happened before and you will not take any precautions. It is really wrong to be so careless, but on the other hand, the corpse disposal team The working area is in the military. These thousands of Konoha ninjas, Mist ninjas and other allies are themselves a line of defense that is extremely difficult to break through. It is not a big deal not to take precautions, provided that unexpected situations like this do not happen.

Because of this,

Therefore, in terms of the possibility of doing such a thing, the probability of insiders committing the crime is higher. It is not easy for outsiders to invade the military without alerting anyone... However, Zong Xian still He felt that rather than insiders committing the crime, he believed it was outsiders who committed the crime.

"...This is probably what happened. Kakashi, your mission is to find out the identity of this thief. If it is an internal member of the military, I will give you the power to arrest the suspect. If it is an outside member, Intrusion, try your best to investigate the identity of the intruder and the intrusion method. Of course, it would be best if you can directly arrest the other party."

Zong Xian carefully explained the cause and effect, and entrusted Kakashi with important tasks.

only--

The face under Kakashi's mask revealed a look of deep sorrow, "I'm afraid this matter... I'm afraid it won't be that easy!" Even with his intelligence, he couldn't see the difficulty of this important task. If the crime was committed by an insider, that would be fine. Don't expect an army of several thousand people, but the search would be quick.

I'm just afraid of foreign intruders.

Being able to hide from so many people in the army and accurately steal the most valuable scrolls from the corpse disposal team is definitely not a soft-footed shrimp.

"I believe in your abilities."

Zongxian said with a smile.

"The problem is that I don't like this troublesome job at all!"

Kakashi complained in his heart, sighed helplessly, and nodded, "I'll do my best, and...the two of them are my subordinates?" He turned his head, lowered his gaze, and saw this in his field of vision. Only two little carrot heads appeared.

"Yes, Uchiha Itachi and Kaguya Kimimaro, the two of them will act together as your assistants."

"...Well, isn't there someone older?"

Kakashi grimaced.

He has heard the names of Itachi and Kimimaro. After all, they are the two youngest people in the army, and they both performed extremely active in the war. There should be no problem with their strength, but the problem is that this mission temporarily seems It is mainly based on investigation. At least in the beginning, there will definitely be no opportunity to fight.

Rather than two powerful thugs, he hoped to have a sentient ninja who was good at tracking and investigating to coordinate his actions.

The two disliked little carrots had different expressions. Uchiha Itachi had a stern face and couldn't tell anything. In comparison, Kimimaro was much more straightforward. There was a hint of displeasure at being underestimated on his little face. But he glanced at Zong Xian sitting behind the desk and didn't dare to do anything.

"Nothing."

Zongxian shook his head decisively, and then said: "Kakashi, don't worry, Itachi is a genius, and his wisdom will not let you down. Okay, stop talking nonsense here and go to work quickly! I don't want If you let this matter drag on for too long, give me a result as soon as possible."

"Yes, Hokage Assistant-sama."

Kakashi couldn't help but sigh in his heart again.

I hate vague words like "as soon as possible", "in the short term", "don't let me wait too long" and so on. How soon is "as soon as possible"?How short is the short term?Then the answer must be as fast as possible and as short as possible... The result is that heavy pressure falls on the shoulders, making it difficult to breathe.

Sure enough, there is no good boss.

It has nothing to do with age or anything like that!

······

Leaving Zongxian's office,

Kakashi stopped in front of the steps. He did not look at Itachi and Kimimaro, but turned his attention to the middle-aged man who looked to be in his 40s, "Well, if I remember correctly, Is it monitor Takano?"

"Yes, I am Takano."

Monitor Takano replied politely.

This man is indeed an honest man. When Sosen asked him to fully cooperate with Kakashi in the investigation, he really regarded Kakashi as his immediate boss. He did not care about Kakashi or even Itachi at all. He looked down upon Kimimaro because of his youth. Speaking of which, the combined ages of Kakashi, Itachi and Kimimaro were not as old as squad leader Takano.

"Team Leader Takano, don't be nervous. I just want to ask you a few questions. Let's talk as we go. Mr. Hokage Assistant is still waiting for our reply."

"What's the question? Just ask, and I promise to tell you everything I know."

The honest Takano followed Kakashi like a follower, and his attitude was as honest as possible.

"First question, I heard that you have already conducted a self-examination within the corpse disposal team, right? How did you eliminate the suspicion of your own people?" Kakashi strode towards the location of the corpse disposal team. When he asked Squad Leader Takano a question, he also saw that Squad Leader Takano was indeed a truly honest person, and should not be in a situation where the thief shouts to catch the thief!

of course,

The possibility of the thief shouting to catch the thief cannot be completely ruled out. It can only be said that the possibility is very small.

"Search people, search things, and everyone must explain their whereabouts last night. After interactive verification, it can be confirmed that no one acted alone last night, and all private scrolls have been checked, and nothing was found, right. , and also that none of the members of the corpse disposal team have mastered psychic skills."

"interesting!"

Kakashi blinked. The Takano squad leader looked very honest, but his ability to work was not bad. He even thought of the possibility that the stolen goods might be taken away and hidden by the psychic beast, but in this way Come on, unless the corpse disposal team colludes collectively, it should be possible to eliminate the option of people within the corpse disposal team committing crimes.

"Second question, do you have any suspects?"

"Who is the suspect?"

"Have you ever made enemies with anyone? Or have you noticed suspicious guys wandering around your work area recently? Have you entered your workplace under the pretext of work or other reasons? Or is there someone studying some forbidden arts? Also, is there anyone you know who needs money urgently?"

This question may be a bit complicated. Squad leader Takano thought about it for a long time. Seeing that the corpse disposal team was about to arrive at the work place, the honest middle-aged man said with some uncertainty: "My friends and relatives are not here." We are short of money, and no one has the ability to study forbidden arts. In the corpse disposal team, we deal with dead people every day, so we can’t say that we are resented by the corpses... That’s too ridiculous!”

"However, two days ago, a young man sent over a body, saying it was the body of a friend he had collected. He planned to take it back to the village for burial. However, after thinking about it recently, I felt that it would be more appropriate to hand it over to our corpse disposal team. , don’t tell me, that young man’s skills in handling corpses are quite good. We don’t need to process the corpses sent here for a second time. They can be sent directly back to the village for burial. Let me tell you, corpse processing is actually quite complicated... ····”

"What's that young man's name? Do you remember what he looks like?"

Kakashi rudely interrupted Squad Leader Takano's endless nonsense. He was not planning to take a job in the corpse disposal class in the future, so he was not interested in the knowledge of how to dispose of corpses. He was interested in the young man.

"I remember...Eh? What's going on?"

Squad Leader Takano frowned, trying to recall the name that was on his lips, "It seems to be called Scorpion, yes, Scorpion's Scorpion, in terms of appearance...it looks very ordinary. I remember he has short black hair, black eyes, and no distinctive facial features. He looks about twenty years old! Even his clothes are standard Konoha Chuunin attire."

"scorpion?"

Kakashi frowned, he seemed to have heard this name somewhere.

Immediately,

He suppressed the doubts in his heart because the destination was arrived.

The corpse disposal team works in the southwest corner of the town. It was originally a small temple. The monks in the temple fled with all the money in the temple when the war broke out. They are probably still hiding from the limelight in the Land of Fire. , so the vacant temple was requisitioned by the Konoha ninjas. It was first used to park corpses, and later it was completely turned into a working place for the corpse disposal team.

Kakashi stood at the door of the temple without going in.

He turned around and looked at Itachi and Kimimaro who were following him. He thought that these two little guys would turn against him because of his previous dislike, but he didn't expect that they still looked honest and honest now, "Itachi , Kimimaro, I’ll give you a mission!”

"Are you going to investigate this scorpion?"

Uchiha Itachi asked.

"It's a little clever, but it doesn't stand out so far."

Kakashi thought in his mind and said: "That's right, this guy named Scorpion is very suspicious. Whether he is a criminal or not, he must be investigated."

"Squad leader Takano, do you know which unit this Scorpion belongs to?"

Uchiha Itachi turned to Squad Leader Takano and asked a question.

"This..." Squad Leader Takano looked confused. He hesitated for several seconds before saying: "I'm not sure. I didn't think much about it at the time. I just asked him his name and asked him to write it in the file. There is a signature on it, is that young man named Xie the prisoner?"

"Not sure yet."

Kakashi said casually.

His eyes were fixed on Itachi Uchiha, wanting to see what this little genius who was praised by the Hokage Assistant was going to do?I don’t know which army this Scorpion belongs to. It’s hard to find someone in this army of thousands of people. “Itachi, you can go...”

"Kakashi-senpai, Kimimaro and I will go to the logistics office and we'll be back soon."

"Well, hurry up, I'll wait for you here."

Kakashi's reminder was not spoken. Uchiha Itachi had already thought of where to find this person. He was definitely not running around like a headless chicken. There must be a list in the logistics department. Just look through the list and he would be there. Know which army this scorpion belongs to.

If you think about this kind of thing carefully, normal people will know how to deal with it. The key point is the speed of reaction. It is really good for a teenage boy to think so fast!

Uchiha Itachi took Kimimaro away, and his back quickly disappeared from Kakashi's sight.

then,

Kakashi bit his thumb and formed a seal with his hands, "Psychic art!"

Along with the white smoke, the mini ninja dog Parker came to report. Parker, who was wearing a forehead protector and a blue vest, jumped on Kakashi's shoulder with a slight jump, and said: "Kakashi , what happened again? Isn’t the war over? By the way, it smells so bad here! The smell of corpses! Why is it so smelly? "

Parker showed an extremely painful expression, and even retching sounds came from his throat.

"Something happened. Parker, help me smell it. Is there any other smell besides corpse smell around here?"

"Eh? Do you want me to work in such a smelly environment? Kakashi, this is abuse, you are abusing the psychic beast!" Parker muttered and complained, with a look of resistance on his face. Clearly reluctant to work in this environment.

Kakashi scratched his head.

Kind of hard to do!

"Parker, next time you buy shampoo for bathing, you can choose it yourself." Kakashi took action and used a despicable method called 'inducement'.

"Well... there is no other way. Since you can only rely on me, then I will do you this favor. Kakashi, you can't go back on what you said!" Parker, who couldn't bear the sugar-coated bullet, raised his head and said darkly. His nose twitched, and a rather painful expression suddenly appeared on the dog's face, which was a little exaggerated, and he shouted: "Apart from the smell of corpses, it's just the smell of humans, nothing special? Kakashi, are you looking for something? ?”

Kakashi was not disappointed with the result. He looked at Team Leader Takano and said, "Give me the signed document."

"signature?"

Monitor Takano, who was looking at Parker who could speak human language curiously, was stunned for three or four seconds before he suddenly realized: "Are you talking about the document signed by the young man named Scorpion? Wait a moment, I will go find it right away. "The man who was a little slow to react rushed into the temple, and Kakashi followed him in.

The temple was not big. Kakashi jumped up to the wall and looked around. There was nothing worth noting. At this time, squad leader Takano also hurried back with a document.

"This is the document."

The thing was handed to Kakashi who jumped down from the wall.

He took it and glanced at it. It was a power of attorney. The content on it was very simple, which was to entrust the corpse to the corpse disposal team. There was the signature of the client at the bottom, which was indeed 'Scorpion'.

"Parker, can you smell it from up here?"

Kakashi brought the power of attorney to Parker's nose.
