Chapter 76: This Matter Must Be Investigated!

After opening the door, it was indeed Kakuzu who was outside. Konan looked at him and asked softly, "What news did you bring?"

"I just went to the hidden black market branch in Konoha Village and gave them a lot of money and some information to help them find someone. After all, it's not convenient for both of us to move." Kakuzu replied, especially with a large amount of money.

These words emphasized the situation.

"Well," Konan nodded and said, "Is there anything else?"

Kakuzu: "Um... the money I spent was mine..."

Before Kakuzu could finish speaking, Konan slammed the door shut with a "bang," leaving Kakuzu staring at the door with a blank expression.

Kakuzu: "Damn, I should have asked for money before..."

Kakuzu was aware of the amount of money Konan had in her possession.

What he really didn't understand was why she wanted such an astronomical amount of money.

...

The next morning, Siyan woke up early, still with yesterday's incident in mind. She wanted to know what it meant to ask the masses to verify.

But when Siyan opened the door to Yuya's office, she was stunned. The interior was empty, and Yuya was not there.

The corner of her mouth twitched. She knew she had arrived early, and it was estimated that the "President Master" was still sleeping at this time. Siyan walked to her seat a bit downcast, not knowing what to do first if Yuya couldn't come.

...

In the streets of Konoha early in the morning, pedestrians are the most indispensable. As usual, Asuma went to the kiosk to buy the Konoha Daily News of the day and planned to continue reading Leon.

Yesterday's plot really amazed him a bit because he felt that Lyon, a cold-blooded killer, would not open the door to Matilda even if he had a bit of friendship to help buy milk.

What made Asuma even more surprised was that Lyon not only saved Matilda's life but also "took her in" and couldn't bring himself to kill her at night.

Putting the money in the designated place by the kiosk owner while sighing.

Sitting in the soba noodle restaurant, Asuma finished reading the third section of "Leon: The Professional" while waiting for the boss to make noodles. He had changed his mind about Matilda. He originally thought the girl was a troublemaker, but Lyon became "interesting" because of her intrusion into his life.

The soba noodles were not ready yet, and Asuma, who was bored, turned to the front page of the newspaper, wanting to see what trivial things had happened recently in the village, just to pass the time.

However, when Asuma turned to the cover of "Konoha Daily," he was slightly surprised when he saw the first news. The headline was not short at all:

"Ninja who dedicated their lives to the village, what kind of life do their families have?"!

Rubbing his chin, Asuma was a bit puzzled. Usually, this kind of news is placed in the second or third place. Why did it become today's headline...?

Asuma usually pays more attention to news related to "ninjas," so he started reading, but his brows furrowed as he read, and he finally couldn't help but pound the table with his fist.

This is exactly the news reported by Yuya yesterday. It was about the living problems of the families of the deceased ninjas.

Asuma couldn't help but recalibrate the data provided by Yuya and found that, as the news stated, some families' accounts were not entirely good.

"Hey, Asuma, your noodles!" The soba noodle shop owner handed the noodles to Asuma and then said curiously, "Did Lyon do something unreasonable again? I haven't had time to buy today's newspaper."

Shaking his head sadly, Asuma said, "No, boss, read the first news in today's newspaper."

"What?" The boss took the newspaper with some doubts and quickly read it. At the end of the reading, he looked up in a state of shock, stared at Asuma with an incredible look, and said, "This matter..."

"Should be true." Asuma said, very annoyed, not pointing fingers at anyone, and he was very angry when he thought about his teammates who had fought alongside him, died, and their families couldn't live a stable life.

Frowning, Asuma picked up the chopsticks and started eating the noodles, this matter must be investigated clearly!

...

At the same time, many early-rising ninjas who like to eat and buy newspapers have also seen this news and become very angry when they learn about the problems.

If they can't get a good position and money, how can they not be angry?

Today, Shiranui Genma, Yamashiro Aoba, and Hayate Gekko have to be on duty together, so they made an appointment to have dinner together at a restaurant...

After eating and drinking, the three were in no rush to go to the Hokage Building. After all, it was still early before they had to go to work, so they simply sat at their seats and chatted.

Shiranui Genma usually has the habit of reading books. The three chatted for a while, and when he saw a newspaper on the table for guests to read, he picked it up.

Seeing his actions, Aoba couldn't help but joke, "You're such a scholar! Do you read newspapers early in the morning?"

Rolling his eyes, Genma said calmly, "I care about the development of the village!"

The first news in the "Konoha Daily" was about the living conditions of ninja widows, so the first news Genma read was also this one.

"What's going on? Something interesting?" Hayate was the first to notice that something was up with his friend and immediately asked.

Genma took a deep breath, then pushed the "Konoha Daily" in front of the two and said, "Read the first news."

Aoba and Hayate looked at each other, quickly took the newspaper, and started reading. After reading it, they were shocked.

Aoba said, "This can't be true. Who dares to play a prank on the families of the ninjas in our village? There must be something wrong!"

Hayate remained silent.

Clenching his fists tightly, Genma said, "Although the 'Konoha Daily' likes to report some trivial matters, they never report fake news. If this is true, then it's a big event."

He nodded in agreement, suddenly stood up, and said, "Why don't we investigate before it's time to go to work?"
