Murder Case

The moment the shadow clone was released.

In the territory of Uchiha, Uchiha Tunan, who was sitting cross-legged under the eaves, raised his eyebrows slightly.

He picked up the teacup and took a sip.

He continued to close his eyes and enjoy the sunshine.

Killing was never a problem.

It was always a practical move to frame others.

If to deal with the people at the bottom.

Then the higher-ups would have no patience to go to such lengths to investigate for someone at the bottom.

However, if he had to deal with someone with status and strength.

No matter how clumsy the method of shifting the blame was.

That person's opponent would help to enlarge the "evidence" and give a reasonable explanation.

Rather than saying that he was framing someone, it was better to say that he had used a little bit of human heart and interests.

Thinking about it, Uchiha Tunan whispered,

"I want to see who can protect you when you betray your family."

Suddenly, through the wind, Uchiha Tunan heard familiar footsteps on the road of the clan.

Uchiha Tunan narrowed his eyes and stood up leisurely, waiting at the entrance of the Great Elder's courtyard.

Very quickly, the Great Elder led Shishui back to his residence.

At a glance, he saw Uchiha Tunan, who was waiting at the entrance.

He immediately coughed and said,

"Tunan, you're here."

Uchiha Tunan walked closer and nodded with a smile.

"My neighbor just told me that you were looking for me. Is there something you need?"

Great Elder revealed an awkward expression and smiled embarrassedly.

I thought you were going to harm Shishui.

The Great Elder thought to himself, but he asked, "Where did you go just now?"

Uchiha Tunan did not care about the other party's answer. He only smiled and said,

"I'm taking a shower. The sound of water in the bath is too loud. I can vaguely hear the knocking on the door."

"But when I came out, you were already gone."

The Great Elder thought that he had made a fuss and immediately found an excuse to prevaricate,

"I originally wanted you to find Shishui for me."

"But there's no need for that now."

Uchiha Tunan suddenly understood and nodded, "Is that so? Since there's nothing else, then I'll be leaving."

With that, Uchiha Tunan left directly for the Sarutobi Clan.

Along the way, Uchiha's people in the clan did not have a good face as usual.

Only Jounin, who was part of Konoha's garrison, looked at him with a hint of fanaticism in his eyes.

After all, in their eyes, Uchiha Tunan had sacrificed too much.

Not to mention his talent, just the matter of enduring humiliation to curry favor with Hiruzen Sarutobi was a big deal.

For an orthodox Uchiha, it was more difficult than opening a kaleidoscope.

In the evening, Uchiha Tunan was having dinner with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Suddenly, an Anbu came to the courtyard and knocked on the door, "Hokage sama, I have something to report."

"Squeak ---"

Uchiha Tunan came to the courtyard and opened the door. He said gently, "Senior, come in. Teacher is in the living room."

Anbu nodded and quickly walked into the living room. He knelt on one knee and said,

"Hokage sama, there is a murder case in the Uchiha clan, and seven children died."

Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his eyebrows and said with a serious face, "Tell me the details."

"According to the intelligence, these seven children went to the river to take a bath after lunch." The Anbu said in a low voice.

In the evening, the parents of these children went to search and found that there was no one in the river.

Finally, they found the bodies of these children downstream.

After inspection, all of them died from drowning, without any external injuries.

The time of death was about two o'clock in the afternoon.

And according to the speed of drifting, the location of drowning to death was also confirmed.

"..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes and saw the clues.

The river in this area was not too deep. Moreover, if they dared to take a bath in the river, these children would definitely be able to swim and would not be drowned all at once.

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a puff of his cigarette and said with a deep face, "Are there any suspicious people?"

The Anbu shook his head and said,

"I do not know."

"He drowned seven children in one breath. It seems that someone is doing evil in the dark."

"Tunan, what's wrong with you?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was concentrating on guessing the cause and effect of this matter, glanced at Uchiha Tunan and found that Uchiha Tunan's expression was not quite right.

Uchiha Tunan took a few steps forward and said to the Anbu with an ugly expression,

"Senior, may I ask if Shishui is among those people?"

The Anbu shook his head and said, "There is no one called Shishui among the dead."

Uchiha Tunan immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to sit down, his eyes suddenly widened, as if he had thought of something.

"Then at the scene of the crime, did you see a child awaken his Sharingan?"

The Anbu recalled for a moment, then immediately nodded and said,

"Yes, a child held by Uchiha Tenzo. When he saw the corpse, he awakened two Magatama Sharingan."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi stopped smoking.

Then, Uchiha Tunan said to Hiruzen Sarutobi anxiously,

"Teacher, I want to take a leave today."

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt that he had guessed Uchiha Tunan's thoughts. He nodded and said,

"You should go back first. As long as it doesn't concern outsiders, we can't interfere in the matters of the Uchiha clan."

Uchiha Tunan pursed his lips and said, "I know."

After saying that, he immediately turned around and used the Body Flicker Technique to leave.

After Uchiha Tunan left, Hiruzen Sarutobi let out a puff of smoke and said,

"Are you sure that the child who awakened the two Magatama followed Uchiha Tenzo and looked to be around three years old?"

The Anbu recalled for a moment and said with certainty, "Yes."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, then waved his hand and said, "I understand. You can go back."

A moment later, Hiruzen Sarutobi leaned against the sofa and muttered,

"Tenzo, do you think that Tunan abandoned Uchiha and wanted to nurture a genius who is more powerful than him?"

....

Outside the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Tunan, who had rushed over, happened to run into a few patrolling guards.

Uchiha Tunan immediately stopped and asked with a serious face,

"Where are those children?"

At this time, the patrol looked at each other and did not make things difficult for Uchiha Tunan.

Instead, he answered honestly,

"They are all in the ancestral hall. Great Elder and the others are also here."

Uchiha Tunan nodded, and just as he was about to leave.

Suddenly, Uchiha Tunan stopped and asked in a low voice,

"Did Shishui awaken the Sharingan?"

The patrolman thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes."

Uchiha Tunan took a deep breath and nodded repeatedly, "I understand."

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately used the Body Flicker Technique to enter the ancestral ground and headed towards the ancestral hall
