Chapter 85: Mischief

"Don't you know?" Jiraiya was taken aback for a moment, looked at Kakashi, and asked incredulously, "You didn't read today's 'Konoha Daily'? You're not aware of such important news..."

Kakashi shook his head, growing more curious, and asked, "I'm not in the habit of reading newspapers, Jiraiya-sama, but what happened?"

Upon realizing that Kakashi didn't know, Jiraiya described what he had seen and heard in the village that morning.

As he listened, Kakashi's face grew very serious, he clenched his fists tightly, and said grimly, "Does such a thing exist? If it does, this matter must be investigated!"

"Yes!" Jiraiya crossed his arms and nodded earnestly, saying, "When I return this time, besides investigating the two people the organization sent to the village, there is one more thing. We must investigate. This matter must be clarified!"

With a sigh of relief, Kakashi said, "If you investigate it, you'll definitely be able to uncover the truth."

Picking up the alarm clock from the table and glancing at it, he realized it was getting late, so he told Kakashi, "Kakashi, hurry up and investigate those two people, I'll also investigate this matter."

Kakashi: "Hai!"

After leaving Naruto's house, Jiraiya and Kakashi parted ways. Jiraiya swiftly moved across the rooftops of the village, with his destination being the Konoha newspaper. Since this matter was first exposed by the Konoha newspaper, it's possible that they might know something more.

A bun shop next to the Konoha newspaper.

Yuya crossed her legs, picked up the soup-filled buns from the small steamer with chopsticks, happily dipped them in vinegar, and then took a big bite out of half of the buns.

Siyan only ate one soup dumpling in front of her and didn't really have much appetite until the matter was resolved. Seeing Yuya eating slowly and carelessly, she couldn't help but anxiously insist, "Master President, when will we continue the investigation? I..."

After swallowing a whole dumpling, Yuya quickly interrupted Siyan and said with a smile, "Don't worry, eat more so you can work hard, right?"

Siyan thought about it and thought it was true. Today, she woke up early and rushed to the Konoha newspaper office before having time to eat, then waited for Yuya to wake up until lunchtime, and now her stomach was protesting.

Yuya saw that Siyan was obediently having lunch and also took another soup dumpling, savoring the delicious food while letting go of her thoughts.

In fact, Yuya's current mind isn't on the investigation at all. When she was flipping through the newspaper in the office a while ago, she suddenly received a new task.

[Task Name: Mischief in Twilight]

[Task Description: An evil event of taking over the ninja's inheritance occurred in the peaceful village of Konoha, which surprised everyone! As the person who exposed this incident, the host, discover the mastermind behind it and at the same time provide an explanation to the ninja's family!]

[Task Reward: Zanpakutō, simultaneously obtain a random skill experience card.]

The rewards were too tempting, and Yuya unconsciously accepted the task. Although it was a bit difficult, there was no penalty for failure, and it's fine if you can't complete it.

As Yuya was eating meatball soup and thinking about how to complete this task, she suddenly froze. No! Why does the atmosphere feel a little strange? It seems like someone is watching them...

Siyan, holding the meatball and about to dip it in vinegar, was also slightly surprised but dipped it without any expression, then quickly stuffed a whole meatball in her mouth, chewed twice, and swallowed it. She fell into deep thought and immediately realized why.

It must be because after the incident was exposed, someone knocked on the door. This was inevitable, but it wasn't expected to happen so soon, and it seemed like there were many people.

Yuya calmly opened the game map, wanting to observe what was happening around them.

Seeing this, she couldn't help but frown. There were a total of five people, three Chūnin, one Jōnin, and one special Jōnin, and they were all from "ROOT".

After Siyan quickly finished eating the meatball, she immediately reached out her right hand to grip Yuya's wrist and said in a low voice, "Don't eat it, I'll take you away! Their strength is not weak."

In Siyan's eyes, Yuya is just a simple genin. If a fight breaks out, she still has to protect him, and there's no chance of winning. So she can only flee and wait until they're in a safe place to investigate and see for herself what's going on. Then they can follow the leads to discover who is behind the scenes.

Yuya shook her head, put down the chopsticks with her right hand, then gently caressed Siyan's hand to provide comfort, and said, "Take care, don't be impatient. It's okay if you don't touch other people's interests in the news business. But if something murky comes up, it's common for people to be attacked, so don't panic."

"What are you talking about?" Siyan said anxiously, "Let me tell you, if there's a fight, I might not be able to hold them back. There are too many people on their side."

"Hey, don't be scared." Yuya appeared experienced and brave in times of danger. She explained to Siyan, "This bun shop is in a bustling place, it's lunchtime, and there are people around. They wouldn't dare to cause trouble in the bun shop. Instead, the two of us will leave the steamed bun shop, which is what they wanted, and we'll make it easier for them."

After saying this, Yuya paused and then asked, "Siyan, do you have any way to secretly contact your friends? Or are there any ninjas you know nearby? Ask them for help."

Siyan was surprised when she heard that. Perhaps she had a way to secretly contact other ninjas, but it involved calling her Anbu teammates. It can only be used when Anbu is on a mission.

The situation between her and Yuya is a personal matter, so it's reasonable to say that it can't be used. Besides, the opponent hasn't done anything yet.

Seeing Siyan's reaction, Yuya realized that she didn't have teammates nearby, so she waved her hand and said, "It's okay, don't worry. I have a solution."

"Boss, bring me another basket of meatballs, thank you!"

Suddenly, Yuya greeted the owner of the bun shop not far away and indicated another basket of soup dumplings.

"Hey! Here we go!"

Seeing that Yuya unhurriedly ate it, Xi Yan was at a loss for what to do, so he could only tense up and stay alert.

Looking at the entangled Yuya, Siyan was considering whether to use a code or not, it was really hard for the two of them to escape.
